SUPERMODEL MEET UP:
HOT BROMANCE AND TRASH TALK FLASHBACKS


Bronnie, the kings of Bromance

The Make Me a Supermodel reunion show was on last night, bringing all of the models back together one more time. "Bromance" was rampant as Tyson and Perry (Terry), and Ben and Ronnie (Bronnie) gushed about one another. Ben and Ronnie were given a "Bronnie" tee shirt that's now available at Bravo. After his tasteless gay comments a few episodes back, Ben made sure to say that he supports the gay community and if any of his buddies back at county jail don't like it, they can suck it. He didn't really say it like
that, but you get the drift.


When asked who has evolved the most, Tyson named Ben, which visibly disappointed Perry. Actually it looked as if Tyson had just slapped him. But he relaxed when Tyson said that he was a natural. This brought up the subject of Tyson's obvious love of Perry. He said that he thinks Perry is very talented, but he wouldn't let favoritism influence his judging. Hmmm...

"You like me, Tyson. You really, really like me."

Ronnie was called out for having kissing nearly everyone in the house. When asked who was the best kisser, he named Aryn. Also, there were lots of look-backs at all the naked entanglements the models got themselves into for the camera. The hot shoot between Casey and Perry brought about the questioning of each guys' sexuality. They laughed it off. Actually I think Casey joked that he's gay. Naturally I thought Casey didn't get nearly enough face time. But Niki presented him with "Lemon" the boa from the previous photo shoot, which made him cringe.

"Gee, thanks Niki. You shouldn't have."

As expected, the division between the guys and girls was brought up, spurred by Shannon who dissed the guys in her blog. Niki admitted that the guys listened more than the girls, but she didn't like the fact that Tyson played favorites with the boys.

Bros before hoes!

Of course there were trash-talk flashbacks. I loved that Casey called Dominic a "bitch" and I also loved Stephanie's imitation of Jackie. She did a robot-move and said in a robot voice, "I'm only a model at all times." There was also an opportunity for the models to immitate each other's catwalks. Perry did a funny imitation of Jackie, but was showed up by Niki who did a spot-on version. Tyson also did a great job of aping Ronnie.

And we can't forget the relationship drama. Jay and Katy both revealed that they lost their significant others after having been on the show. Perry was asked about the whole Britney's boyfriend love triangle thing, and revealed that he's still angry about it and doesn't want to even think about it. The little crush that had blossomed between Perry and Shannon also came up, which caused him to call Shannon "cool and cute as hell."

"You're like the little sister of the house, Holly. . . that I want to deck."

Jennifer Starr was on hand to give her nasty commentary. She talked about the difference between "girlfriend pretty" and "model pretty," saying something like a girl that's girlfriend pretty doesn't "wear clothes well."

"You are so not model cute, Cory. AND you're fat. Hahaha. . . "

There was a lot of blog talk. Cory Batista said that he stopped reading the blogs because he was tired of being called fat. Niki pointed out that he's been called a bear a lot, which made him a little uncomfortable. I think he said something like, "Let's not take it there." Understandably, a lot of the models said that they stopped reading the blogs because they just got too mean.

Finally, Jackie's ability to fart on command was brought up. Cory revealed that he disapproved of her farty behavior and that she should represent the modeling business in a lady-like manner. Niki, on the other hand, said that her husband is now a big fan of Jackie's.

"My husband loves it when you blow ass, Jackie."

From seeing the ads for next week's show, it looks like the remaining models will be visited by their significant others. I think Perry or Ronnie will win the whole thing. Ronnie is so likeable and has really transformed himself, and Perry is ,as Tyson put it, "a natural". I guess we'll just have to "watch what happens." Har har. . .

MAKE ME A SUPERMODEL ROUND UP:
EARTH WIND AND FIERCE


There are only four contestants left in the running on Make Me a Supermodel. I'm still sore about Casey leaving, but decided to continue watching anyway. *sigh.*

Shannon was voted off. It's unfortunate for Shannon as it was her first time "up for the vote" and Ronnie's fourth. I think a big reason she was booted and Ronnie wasn't is because the gay community is tuned in and probably voting for Ronnie. I also think this presents a somewhat unfair advantage for him. Having said that, I think Ronnie is a better model than Shannon and I think he's worked really hard to defy the preppy image he naturally exudes. I also think he will have earned it if takes the whole thing next week.

This week the remaining contenders had to get naked and arty-wild with celebrity photographer, Matthew Rolston. Each model represented one of the elements. Holly was fire, Perry was water, Ronnie was earth, and Ben was air.





























Ben really stepped it up this week and I thought his photos were pretty amazing. Perry was also a top performer - naked and tucking his privates, crunching a piece of ice, and wearing a really bad goth wig. The results were disturbing and stunning.

Ronnie looked fabulous and sexy as a sort of wood nymph creature. Holly's photo was also really cool, ending up looking as if here head were on fire. I love Holly's look and think she's gorgeous, but I believe she lacks the personality and maturity needed to be a supermodel.

Speaking of supermodels, bad ass diva, Naomi Campbell, visited the contestants and left them all, especially Perry, with unhinged jaws. She and Tyson played up their camaraderie for the cameras and got all smoochy
.

Later, the fierce and fabulous fashion elf himself, CHRISTIAN Siriano, winner of Project Runway, coached the models on walking. AND he made an incredible dress for Holly. I have to say, when Christian presented her with the dress, she seemed unsurprisingly sort of "uh huh." Hey Holly, where's the fire you had coming out of your head on the photo shoot? I know I would be so excited that my head would have burst into flames if Christian Siriano had made a dress specifically for me.



Now it's up to America to decide who will be a supermodel. I honestly don't have a favorite. They're all really good, but I don't find any of them really overwhelming. I guess I'm voting for Ronnie, but if Casey were still in the running, I'd be jumping up and down for him like a slutty cheerleader.
