that show on MTV
i'm at a loss for answering
why do i watch you?
America's Next Top Model
ANTM
(but not "America's Next Top Best Friend"
ANTBF
to quote the Evil Jade)
you aren't.
while less staged
(I suppose)
and less of a game
(sort of)
about the world of modeling
you lack the
how you say
whimsy?
personality?
the...
je ne sai quoi
and the Jays!
Miss Jay
and Jay Manuel
of ANTM.
perhaps i shouldn't compare
apples and oranges
or
two different boxes of rocks.
what, then, do you offer?
pretty girls
chiseled men
exTREME close-ups
on faces
the twins Kelly and Sabrina
Britt, the preacher's daughter
one wants a boob job
the other does not
and the last
she cries a lot
about her boobs.
it's all about boobs, it seems.
then there's Vinci
he's rude and always late
but he's Italian,
which seems to make it okay.
and Irene,
the freaky manager
kind of like
Joan Rivers with long hair.
there's a certain vapidity in all their eyes
they don't say much
and there's a bunch of other characters
we never hear much about.
and they get drunk sometimes
and live together
date each other
make lunch together
but The Real World
this is not.
so
why
do I waste the space
on my DVR?
it's in Miami,
so
I think
maybe I just miss
Nip/Tuck.

I am equally perplexed by my love for 8th and Ocean.
I want to punch Vinci in the mouth for being so stupid, but then when he smiles or pouts, I find myself blushing. And the twins! Hell hath no fury like a jealous sister. Geez.
I think the problem is I love any ridiculous reality show that mTV airs, without question. I'm not going to lie, I can't wait for The Hills and the return of LC. It's sad, actually.
Maybe there's subliminal messaging that is driving our addiction.
But OMG, can you believe Kelly didn't tell Sabrina about that casting call? And then tried to pretend she *oops* forgot.
I watch Tiara Girls too. The shame!!
ooooh, Tiara Girls. It's horrifyingly embarassing. All those bratty girls who you can tell are just not quite anorexic and blonde enough to take the crown. And they all suck at the interview - one girl answered her coach's question about who the vice president was with "It's a Kennedy, isn't it?" Um. No.
I know, where do they find these girls? It's like they're the girls who tried out for "Made" and didn't make the cut. Because at least on Made, even if they don't make their goal, they usually come pretty damn close. Whereas on Tiara Girls, it's a pretty safe bet they're going to be ninth runner-up. Even if they did spend $3200 on ONE gown for ONE pageant.
PEN- youre rotting your brain with tv. what's going on in motherhood land or um... something else?
i don't watch these shows so... and while i'm trying to give them a chance i won/t.
