Yep, came on last night for 2 hours. I'm sure it'll repeat either Friday or Sunday.

Re: Fans of Le Television

ahhh.. 2 hours??


I hope I can catch it on either one of those two days. But with RuPaul's drag race, it's like getting ANTM but better because there's drag queens involved.

Re: Fans of Le Television

I etc-love RuPaul's Drag Race!

It's part ANTM and part Project Runway. (I mean, you get Santino, for God's sake!) I was sooo mad when I missed last week's episode because I don't have LOGO, so I have to catch the Tuesday broadcast on VH1. I caught this week's though. *tear* But I'm rooting for either Nina or Bebe.

As for ANTM, it gets harder to take it seriously with every season, so I just resign myself to the fact that the only successful winners they had are Jaslene(8), Dani/elle (6), and maybe Eva (3) and Nicole (5).  Some of the girls who don't win have better modeling careers than the actual winners.

Re: Fans of Le Television

You're right, because I mean where did Caradee end up? I haven't seen her in any print, but some of the other girls who have not won, I've seen them.

I'm rooting for Nina and Shanelle. Bebe was totally fierce when it came to the Britney Spears performance.

Re: Fans of Le Television

Oh, God, CariDee. emot-rolleyes  Cycle 7 was just baaaad, in retrospect. CariDee was just wrong, Melrose was too old, Eugena was horrible for most of the cycle, so I guess one of the twins would have been a better winner. However, if they had just let Jaslene in that season when she auditioned, she would have won. Then Natasha would have probably won Cycle 8 and I can live with that.

If you want to see some of the work they've been doing, though, go to All ANTM.

One last thing: Cycle 13 is an all-petite cycle. They're only taking girls 5'7" and under.

As for Drag Race, I like Shannel. She would be a good third place in a Nina-Bebe Final Two. I'm sad Ongina's gone, though. I was loving the tiny hats.

I really liked Natasha and the twins. Caradee was amusing but I didn't think that she equaled a runway model to me...more like a commercial catalog print model, but not runway.

So you think it's going to be Nina-Bebe as the final two?

Re: Fans of Le Television

The thing about ANTM is that Tyra wanted to create a well-rounded model that could do runway, commercial, catalog, editorial, print, and spokesmodel work. The problem is that she can find a girl that can do 3 or 4 of these, but they can't do all 5 because the good models all have accents. The closest she ever got to what she wanted was with Elyse in Cycle 1, and yet she didn't win.

I'm hoping for a Nina-Bebe Final Two, but I heard that Ru's looking for a more traditional drag queen which might not be good for Nina who specializes in Genderfuck.

Re: Fans of Le Television

ahhh really?

traditional drag queen almost sounds like an oxymoron.
I love Nina's look.

So with this new ANTM it's going to be for more petite models?

Re: Fans of Le Television

Yeah, girls like Adrianne, Dani(elle), Jaslene, and Natasha can take good pictures and do good runway, but speaking tends to be a bit hazardous for them. Remember how Adrianne couldn't say "passion" properly to save her life?

I want Nina to win soooooo bad. She's honestly toned down from her typical performances. Do a search on YouTube for some of her numbers.

As for Cycle 13, yeah, no one over 5'7". I thought people were making this shit up, but there were several commercials during the Cycle 12 premiere. The idea is that "anyone can be a model"...or something. A lot of the girls getting picked at the casting calls have been around 5'5" or 5'6".

Re: Fans of Le Television

I don't know how I feel about that, I mean, yes anyone can model....but....yarg, I don't know how I feel about that.

I want Nina to win too, last night's episode showed just how versatile she really is at so many aspects of drag. I did a youtube of Nina Videos and OMG she's like the cutest/fiercest thing ever.  Rebecca is cute, but she's so one-dimensional. I'm just peeved that Spoiler Alert ::::: Shannel went home. She was so hot. But man, final two Bebe and Nina. If Rebecca makes it to the final two, I'm calling foul.


Didn't Adrienne go on to do like men's magazines and whatnot? And what's up with the girl who likes Nosebleeds on the new cycle?

^(continued via PM)

Anyway, for those of you who might actually read this, Cartoon Network is adding even more live-action crap to its lineup.

This is nothing more than an attempt to cut even further into Disney and Nickelodeon's market share, that's all. Eventually, the only things left for me to watch will be Total Drama Action (TDI Season 2), 6Teen if they keep it, and Ben 10: Alien Force(which is getting renamed after this season, see second link). Now that Naruto's been yanked and Toonami's dead, I have to find new stuff to watch until Adult Swim starts.

Re: Fans of Le Television

^For the record, Gwen's my favorite character. That whole Jean Grey moment was a bit OOC for me, though.

Anyway, for those who are interested, ABC has finally announced that they'll air the remaining episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, and Dirty Sexy Money. All three will be shown during the summer on Saturday nights, but not simultaneously.

Pushing Daisies will air May 30, June 6, and June 13.
Eli Stone will air June 20, June 27,  July 4, and July 11.
Dirty Sexy Money will air July 18, July 25, August 1, and August 8.

In addition, Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Game Show will be back during the summer. Wipeout will start on May 27, and Japanese Game Show will start on July 8 with less house drama and more fun shit (as it should be!).

And finally, Project Runway will be back on this summer! emot-dance Bravo randomly dropped their lawsuit, so now it's officially going to be on Lifetime. The good news is that Lifetime is available to more people than Bravo, so maybe the new audience will balance out those who gave up.

Yes, but they're about to take her off the show. I don't know why, but they are. They've changed the D.A. again too.

Just starting watching Six Feet Under, and love it. Seriously, I didn't expect to like this show and now I have no idea why - it's so fantastic. The characters are all interesting and hilarious, and I'm pretty sure I want to marry Brenda.

MissMocha and nearly everyone else I love is now suitably in love with Cash Cab. What I love best about this arrangement is that the cable set up at the house allows for two hours of in-cab trivia and then--! Then! Jeopardy at seven. Life is bliss.

Re: Fans of Le Television

I don't believe in House after the first two seasons. Nope. The rest never happened.


I love Ghost Hunters. (or GHOST DREAM KILLERS.)
It's so ridiculously awesome, but for reasons I'm completely sure they didn't intend.
Talking to themselves, being scares of your shadow, its awesome.

Also, I kinda like the Bizzare Foods show on the travel channel. It's always rather amusing.

Definitely nutrition free TV, but I do love the clothes, the struts, and Jay Manuel and J. Alexander.

Re: Fans of Le Television

(Minor spoilers.)

Of all the divorces and threatened divorces in Desperate Housewives, I think the only two who should get divorced are Tom and Lynette. (Not counting the short lived marriages like when Gabby married the mayor, or Eddie's schizophrenic, pyromaniac husband.) Why Bree's first husband wanted to divorce her is beyond me. I would LOVE to have Bree as my wife! Likewise, I don't think Bree should have come close to divorcing Orson just because he ran Mike over with a car. Orson is awesome, and after the season with all the stuff about how Orson's mother was evil and manipulative, how was running Mike over the straw that broke the camel's back? I like Mike (except when he does things to hurt Susan), but let's face it-- he's cursed. The part where Gabby and Carlos were getting divorced was where I first started watching the series, and while it was very amusing, it was kind of pointless, since they got back together eventually.

Tom, on the other hand, would drive his family into the ground for the sake of his own ego, and blame Lynette for "not supporting him."
