Yeah, I know that the rigging is a rumor, but really, I haven’t really liked the winners of the past few ANTMs (starting with the year that Nicole won). Sure, I know I’m not the most knowledgable person when it comes to modeling, but really, you can’t tell me that Kat and Claire are both worse models than Fatima and Dominique are. Please.

But really, the rigging (if it’s true) is kinda sad. Disappointing, even. Between this and hearing that Nina (Garcia) was let go from her position as fashion designer for Elle [read] and thusly might be in jeopardy of losing her Project Runway gig, I’m kinda bummed.

But hey, congrats to Whitney. And Anya.

Oh yeah! One more thing (that MAY get me to keep watching next cycle)… did anyone get the impression that Tyra was getting a little sick of all of Paulina’s bitchiness? I love Paulina, and I know she’s just being honest and trying to give criticism, but damn, there’s no need to be so brutal. Didn’t she say that Anya looked “dumb” in one of her pictures? That’s just messed up. Anyway, it might be interesting to see if they try to turn Paulina into more of a Janice (Dickinson) than a Twiggy. Or to see if she out-bitches both of them.

So, what other shows do you watch? I need an excuse to keep coming over here. Heh.

Second, after having read Geri Halliwell’s biographies and just seeing her fluctuating weight in the media over ten years, I think it’s plausible Whitney was skinny at one point or even at many points. If she has trouble staying skinny, then it’s easy to gain a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Though I don’t think she gained like an obscene amount between those pictures and what we saw on ANTM.

BUT! In those pictures they showed after she won of her growing up, she didn’t seem like she was chubby, so hm…

your blog is looking as lovely as ever.

also, i am SO OUTRAGED at this. yeah, that’s right, i AM.

first of all, antm - i still watch you - but hi, snooze.fest. these seasons are nothing, nothing like what they used to be. oh, oops. cycles. so menstrual, oops, i mean, feminine of you, tyra.

when i was watching the finale last night, all i could think was how *thin* whitney looked. like, even in the first few episodes of the season she looked “bigger”. she’s a pretty girl - i’m not surprised she was approached by someone to get on the show. and i know tyra is all about wanting to ‘reshape the way the industry looks at plus size models’ but seriously. can’t handle this.

ok. ragey mccagey here is out.

hope you’re doing well, jamie!
