i usually think people who vote are a bit fruity

[bossymarmalade]

After ignoring ANTM for the last couple of boring-ass cycles replete with weird-looking mealy-mouthed sub-literates, I was actually interested in the first episode of this season! Sheena gets repeatedly called "Kimora" and described as having "the beauty of a black girl" despite being Japanese/Korean!! Sarah embarrasses Harvard, self! Nikeyshah does her best Foxxy Love! Clark decides to be The Bitch and wears hideous frosty pink lipstick to prove it! Samantha's a fucking idiot! Isis has the patience of a saint even while eating broccoli! Brittany B repeatedly smells her own panties!! Tyra speaks in tongues! (That last one is par the course though.)



- marjorie confesses to being homeschooled in addition to being French
- the brittanys choose nicknames so as not to confuse themselves, others
- eco-friendly is fierce! says the bus
- hannah grew up without electricity or water, which is code for "i am so ignorant idiotic innocent"
- sheena is wearing triangles as earrings
- trans quiz time with aunty isis
- sharaun/brittany b refers to isis as "a drag queen"
- isis' earrings the same size as her face
- mckey/brittany s plays with isis in pool, naaawwww
- clark says that "coming from a good traditional upbringing in the south you don't run into a he/she every day"; clark has i guess never seen/read midnight in the garden of good & evil
- the girls go to the magic castle and paintings w/moving eyes scare samantha shitless because she thinks magic is real and is simple as fuck
- sheena gives the pathetic "misfit of magic" magician dude some pity whoots
- nigel is in the magic cabinet; put him back in! sheena says, "are you kiddin me? he look like a ken doll!"
- paulina porizkova pops out, says "world" five times in three seconds
- challenge is basically speed-dating the judges
- marjorie is scared AS USUAL
- sharaun hates world peace
- lauren brie looks like a lump of brie with glass eyes embedded in it
- nigel SCARES MARJORIE
- isis understands the light; nigel finds her "unusual" which is ANTM code for "we kept nigel 'in the dark' so when Isis' secret is finally 'revealed' to him he can act all 'cool with it'"
- time for a photoshoot O SHIT THEY'RE TACKLING POLITICAL ISSUES
- immigration does not scare marjorie AS MUCH!
- for boasting about how she's "ready to be a bitch", clark sure can't take it when mckey refuses to explain TO HER what 'bureaucracy' is
- hannah doesn't know what she thinks about nuclear weapons b/c she is INNOCENT
- sheena gets told she's too hootchie
- sharaun is an absolute skunk to Isis, makes nation hate her
- isis nails her photoshoot subject of 'privacy', hah hah bitches
- nikeyshah can't take critique, heeeeeeeeeeyyyyy
- for no discernable reason each of the judges says one of the words of the phrase "we cast our vote"
- being chosen first TERRIFIES MARJORIE!!
- sharaun busts down crying for being cut from the group and her ass sent home, hah haha
- tyra is wearing arm-warmers



I scrolled back for the entire week of friendslist entries searching for ANTM reactions and found only one from my fellow Canadian tammylee, which is kind of comforting because all the Yanks were talking politics. *g*

Dude, the last two cycles were such yawn fests, it's like this season they stuck every gal with a quirk they could find in the show! I went around saying HEeeeeyyyy with the arm lifts all day Thursday. I'm sure I was completely obnoxious! XDDD

Favourites so far: Sheena, Isis, McKey (like McKAY! My favourite cranky Canadian scientist!), and Marjorie. (Oh, trembling rabbit Majorie, you are not going to win but you will be so pretty in your photos.)

Clark only WISHES she was a bitch! She has no clue what a real bitch is. I say every time a self-professed 'bitch' comes on the show she has to go three rounds with Jade to prove she's got the stuff. Fatima last cycle was A TOTAL BITCH POSEUR! She crumpled the first time someone took a verbal swing at her!

WHY DO I WATCH THIS SHOW CYCLE AFTER CYCLE?!

Did you laugh at the awkward 'sci fi' theme of the first episode? XD

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Oh, trembling rabbit Marjorie

ahahahah she SO IS! That's the perfect description of her. And she really does take pretty photos.

I say every time a self-professed 'bitch' comes on the show she has to go three rounds with Jade

JADE THE UNDISCOVERED SUPERMODEL! Oh yes PLEASE. Clark would wither up in terror from the first time Jade referred to herself in third person.

Did you laugh at the awkward 'sci fi' theme of the first episode? XD

I couldn't even recap it, it was just TOO BIZARRE. The Jays in their matching outfits and white hair! Tyra DOING THE ROBOT and trying to talk in that fucked-up way! AHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!

*weak with laughter*

The problem is, callmesandy and I will sit for 45 minutes in IM dishing about ANTM, and then I will think I've shared with LJ when I really haven't. That can change if necessary.

I love that Sheena is the designated "too hoochie" of the season (and another one for hoochie = girls I think are super hot) and oh, poor awkward Marjorie, she's what would happen if you crossed big-lipped Brooke from s6 with crazy Natasha from s8 and homeschooled them.

My third favorite is Elina, because it is impossible for me to not root for a crazy vegan activist bisexual. She's every woman I've ever regretted dating.

They should have let them all just be Brittany. More confusion = more hilarity.

[callmesandy.livejournal.com]

Plus, I did post a reaction post! I DID! I talked about how I love how reality shows will totally give you the bitch edit of evil if you are intolerant and bigoted!

Why have I not uploaded my Isis icon yet? I made it yesterday and everything.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's right! I remember that now -- thank you for reminding me, ahahaha! I thought about the "bitch edit of evil" while I was watching sharaun dig herself deeper. *g*

[mosca.livejournal.com]

I was speaking only for myself, missy! You totally fulfilled your obligation.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

ahahah! You should totally repost the best snippets of your ANTM convos (although possibly not in IM format); that would be awesome.

and another one for hoochie = girls I think are super hot

Seriously. Poor Sheena, she really did seem kind of thrown that Jay was calling her hoochie so much. And she's completely one of my favourites. Along with Elina! She seems pretty low-key and *yet* self-aware and fantastic, which is a total win with me.

They should have let them all just be Brittany. More confusion = more hilarity.

OMG CAN YOU IMAGINE

[mosca.livejournal.com]

I will totally post them from now on, knowing that someone will be interested. Not in LJ format ever; I find that annoying. But main points!

There were, like, 3 Cassies on that Search For the Next Elle Woods show, and it was awesome.

[cjmarlowe.livejournal.com]

Okay, but can I adore Marjorie anyway? Because she's the cutest thing in the history of the world ever. Between her, McKey and Sheena it's hard to decide who to crush on, man.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

You totally can. *g* The "I'M SCARED OF EVERYTHING" is somewhat exasperating to me, but even still I like Marjorie because she looks great in photos and has that French accent! Although it *does* have the unfortunate effect of encouraging Tyra to "speak French", which I'm sure we can all agree is nightmare fodder.

Between her, McKey and Sheena

... mmmm, McKey and Sheena. Thanks for that mental image, chica. *g*

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

I watched!! I just didn't post a reaction because, yeah, politics. Lots of politics going on up in here.

BUT. I love Isis. Of course. And I think it's hilarious that since Whitney won last cycle, they don't feel the need to have a plus-sized model. The girl who is from Alaska is lying her ass off about no electricity. There's no way you can survive in Alaska without it. Maybe they built a big old fire or something, I dunno, but Alaska is fucking cold and they have to pay people to live there.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Alaska is fucking cold and they have to pay people to live there

Unless those people are community organizers, in which case they're run out by a mob with pitchforks. TAKE YOUR COMMUNITY SPIRIT ELSEWHERE, BITCHBAGS! S.PAL DON'T ROLL THAT WAY!!

But, y'know, thinking about Isis holding her privacy ballot to her heart and not even losing her shit all over Sharaun for her poisonous little whisperings? That soothes all the pain away. *g*

[phaballa.livejournal.com]

Isis really is ten thousand kinds of awesome. In the craziness of that episode (Tyrabot, WHAT?) Isis and Hoochie Asian Girl were moments of sanity.

S-Pal can go fuck herself. After all McCain did to save AmeriCorps and make sure we got our education awards, for her to show such disdain for community organizers is disgusting and shows exactly how far McCain has flipped. If he wanted democrats to get fired up AGAINST him, well. Good job, Old Dude.

[zarahemla.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I hope those panties were never worn, because I kept cringing. Also in the "got to go" category -- Isis's giant GIANT earrings.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

SHE'D PUT THEM RIGHT IN HER FACE, OMG.

I am waiting for Isis and Sheena to start trading their enormous geometric jewelry. Hee!

[ex_halo669]

I hate myself for loving this show, yet I do. so much.

I think I mostly like it because they always, always CRRRRRRRRRY.

should I look forward to more of your recaps each week? :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Especially the blithely bitchy ones! They cry like motherfucking WATER SPOUTS.

And yay, I totally want to do recaps for ANTM every week! I shall definitely try. *mwah*

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

LOLS I can't wait to see this on Sunday, ahahahahah. I hope Dasha will be back in time!

Yes, can you believe it - she missed it on Wednesday! Oh the humanity!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

gasp! Well, I caught a rerun on Friday night, so hopefully they're still doing the Sunday rerun as well.

PS: the redhaired girl who does boxing with her boyfriend, brittany s/mckey? SHE IS LIKE A GIRL JULIAN. Sabu and I laughed and laughed and laughed!!!

[ghettogreta.livejournal.com]

This is the first season I watched this show and I just told a friend of mine I think I rolled my eyes more time during the first hour than I have my entire lift. Oh my god, I was like "..." And I know they tell them to be all excited and stuff, but I could sure do without them screaming at.every.little.thing.

I really loved the shot Isis did. And while Marjorie's scared thing is getting annoying, she is gorgeous on film. And I think Clark is friggin gorgeous as well, but god, she took a horrible picture! That made me feel a little better, because I don't know if I like her or not. And Elina is just beautiful, I think, but in that not obvious sort of way Clark is. So I like her, too. I loved that the judged liked McKey's picture after Clark mocked her, though. It's the little things.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I could sure do without them screaming at.every.little.thing.

Shit, I hear you there!! The endless shrieking gets really tiresome, especially when some of the girls are SO BAD at making it seem spontaneous. So they just open their mouths and let that shrill air-raid noise out. ugh!!

I loved that the judged liked McKey's picture after Clark mocked her, though. It's the little things.

ahahahaha, yes! I felt glee in my cold little heart each time one of the girls who was all, "Oh, Isis, honey, no drag queen man is gonna win this competition!" got kicked out. That was EXCELLENT.

[st-aurafina.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Your review totally defuses the endless discussions I will have to listen to at work. Thank you.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! I am glad to help alleviate painful workplace discussions, anytime!

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

i don't even know why i chose to skip the last two seasons and decided to start watching this one! but i knew that from the moment the judges beamed themselves in, this would be an AWESOME season.

i want to do the lesbian vegan, even though lesbian vegans in general scare me. or mostly it's vegans who scare me, especially if their entire personality seems to be "i'm a vegan" and um, somehow that's supposed to say something about them i don't even know!

also i will never remember their names, so i will always have nicknames for them until like, the last episode, and then i'll be like "RIGHT THAT'S HER NAME!"

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

their entire personality seems to be "i'm a vegan"

THAT IS SO TRUE. I can't stand when people sock their entire being into a single characteristic like that. She is hot, though.

That whole space-case opening was INSANE!! And the way the girls did such shitty "reaction shots" to the beaming around! It was excellent. *g*

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

she is so hot! i don't even know why i love the way she looks, but i do. i don't think she'll win though. my money's on the french chick so far. she looks like...whatsherface, that blonde british model that's everywhere? tyra banks might choose someone else though, we never know about her.

IT WAS SO INSANE AND YET !!! SRSLY I WAS LIKE "IS THIS WHAT THEY DO EVERY SEASON? SURELY NOT!" they had both jays dressed up like SPACE CADETS with silver hair! and it's all retro computer stuff, like sci-fi for the star trek original age or something. love it so much. also i love tyra banks! i only wish janice were still around. sigh.

ALSO THE HARVARD GIRL THING WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY. you know tyra threw in all those literary references just to screw with her.

also also she made one girl be a moose and was the hunter! and then the other way around! I MEAN HOW SO AWESOME. HOW.
