CNTM: It’s finally over!

Finally, the last episode. The final bitches are Nikita Badanov, Prairie Ditz, and…Linsay. (I just can’t muster up a nasty nickname for her – compared to the other two she’s practically a saint.)
My prediction for the final two is Prairie Ditz and Linsay. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking. I’m hoping Linsay will win, just [...]

CNTM: Good lord, why isn’t this damn show over yet?

You know, usually with Top Model cycles I fall prey to some sort of Stockholm Syndrome by the last few episodes, and end up kind of liking the bitchy contenders despite myself. Not so with this group – their meanness and racism isn’t amusingly outrageous, it’s just unpleasant. CNTM isn’t even a so-bad-it’s-good guilty pleasure [...]

CNTM: New York, Old Jerks

The Fringe Festival is on in Toronto, so I have other things to care about besides this show that makes me want to stab myself in the cheek. I even forgot to tape last week’s episode. But the show I was going to go to tonight was sold, out, so I’ve got a spare minute [...]

CNTM season 3 episode 5 – let’s get comfy

OK, saw the episode, and frankly, they are NOT throughing any curve balls for me. Is anyone else surprised Rebeka was the next to go?
She was one of my favourites at the very beginning but as time goes on in the fishbowl – the cracks start to show….and that girl had cracks!
She had one of [...]

CNTM: Ugly Ducklings

This show always seems to open with a confession of how teary everyone got at the last elimination. I can’t decide whether this is humanizing and vulnerable, or annoying and drama. Oh wait. It’s CNTM. There’s only ever annoying and drama.
Oh goody, they’re going to have to talk again. That’s bound to make them more [...]

CNTM season 3 episodes 3-4…seriously…wtf?

ok – I took a break last week from saying anything about CNTM season 3 cause seriously…it was a given. The first four girls gone from this competition have been no shock….except to the actual girls probably.
I will only list a few WTF’s concerning recent developments in the show, (and every other Top Model show [...]

CNTM: She makes me want to vomit

It’s only week 4, and I am so sick of that horrible “Na na na na na NA NA” theme song, although I suppose it’s appropriate, given the elementary schoolyard maturity levels that some of these girls have. So. They’re still bitching about Maryam’s passport thing, probably because Maryam is better than the rest of [...]

CNTM: No sleeping, no cry

It’s only week three, and I already feel like I’m watching this boring trainwreck so you don’t have. SO I HOPE YOU APPRECIATE IT. Remember how last week I was disappointed that the the drama levels were low because sleep deprivation hadn’t yet kicked in? Well, this week starts off with (minor boring) drama about [...]

CNTM: Haircuts and (not very many) tears

It’s makeover day! You know what that means: 1. an awkwardly staged series of puns that are entirely unrelated to makeovers (in this case, Jay as a judge, ’sentencing’ each girl to a particular look). 2. No mirrors and a lot of shrieking. 3. Totally graceless product placement (AS IF any salon is actually using [...]

Canada’s Next Top Polite Anorexic: Episode One (or, Canada has a lot of ice and wolves, eh?)

Except that what passes for reality tv bitchiness in Canada is a far cry from the brasher American brand. They’re really just nice, if somewhat misguided, girls from places with low population density. The third cycle of Canada’s Next Top Model premiered last night, so long after the second cycle that I don’t even remember [...]
