Vote For A Potential Supermodel!

September 09, 2008

Ack! It's getting close to that time again. It wasn't a show we thought we'd even like, but actually we were totally obsessed with last season of Make Me a Supermodel. Totally obsessed. It's better than America's Next Top Model for several reasons: 1) No Tyra 2) Co-ed 3) Cuter people 4) Tyson Beckford. We could go on, but you get it, you understand.

Anyhow, last season, America voted for Ben and Katy to join the competition and now we get to do it again. Voting for the final two contestants of Season 2 of Make Me a Supermodel starts tomorrow at noon. We'll get to vote for one boy and one girl out of six people.

We'll have the link to the voting and some bios (and of course opinions) up later today. So check back!

And The Winner Is....

April 03, 2008

Well it’s been a long and arduous journey (not for them – for us), but here we finally are at the finale of Make Me A Supermodel. For the last episode we get to follow them around on Go-Sees around town. Models are never very directionally inclined.

“Ben has that Esprit look.” Which... Well this is what we think of when we think of Esprit...

Ronnie gets dissed for having “the same pose, the same head turn and the same look everytime.” Ruh roh, girl… But then the same guy who says this has the weird line about Ronnie's "needing to be slapped around." That guy's a little gross.

More Awkward Than a High School Reunion

March 27, 2008

Andy Cohen hosts and claims that he will get “the hotties to tell all.” Do they? Not really, but it was still pretty entertaining. And we thoughtfully wrote down all the best quotes (and our terse commentary) so you could sit at work and relive the experience again.

Right at the beginning, Aryn goes right for the brainy. “A lot of us forgot it was a TV show.” Really, Aryn? That’s weird. That’s like forgetting you're at work and taking off your pants.

We love Andy Cohen, the guy loves his Bravo-phrases. He tells Dom that on the show he came off as “the mayor of excuses village.” Which Dom responds to with some more excuses. (Ten points to the first reader to post the name of the original "mayor of excuses village.")

Still Not Over Casey

March 20, 2008

We have a lot to get through, so let's just dive right in. This week, we totally saw everyone's butt. But more importantly, the beginning of the episode is terribly sad. Cuz suddenly it's revealed -- everyone is kind of a jerk!

Shannon. We totally want Shannon over to OUTzone HQ for lunch. We got to meet her at the exit interview taping this week, and the offer stands, Shannon. That girl is smart. Like, wicked crazy, nutty, smart. And mad – she seems really mad. And we don’t blame her – it does look like it totally sucked to be surrounded by Alpha males who totally can't seem to hold a civil conversation now that Frankie and Casey have left.

Putting the Gay in Goth

March 13, 2008

The episode opens with Perry telling Casey, “If I lost you, I’d have nobody to joke with, nobody to make up skits with.” That’s sort of sweet. And weird. And totally theatre-camp dorky. And then Casey did get kicked off and we were all incredibly sad. Our Editorial Lead here at Outzone has had a major thing for Casey since the beginning, and we're going to risk our jobs to bring you the excerpt we got when he was riding back in the cab from interviewing Casey yesterday:

"I think I made an ass of myself. I actually said to him that I stopped listening because I was lost in his eyes. Out loud. That happened. In real life. He was totally cool about it, and even said that sometimes it happens to him, but I think he didn't know I wasn't kidding. In person he's a lot like that dude from college who was always playing guitar and might actually be cool with making out a little, provided there's enough weed around. I'm going to take the rest of the afternoon off and compose myself. Because I admit it. I'm totally gay for Casey. You're all fired if you forward this to anyone or print it in that damn blog."

We all had a real soft spot for that guy. But as a side note, what was up with that coat he was wearing? Did he find that coat somewhere? He looked sort of like a gay Cap'n Crunch.

How will Perry cope without a clique of pretty boys with long hair to do his bidding?

Everyone seems very catty with each other this week. They’re all bitching behind each others’ backs. Remember when they used to be sweeter and nicer?

Girls Vs. Boys

March 06, 2008

Bye Frankie. Although we felt mildly tender towards him for, like, a second, we can’t help but agree with Shannon when she said, “His laugh sounds like a cross between Fran Drescher and a dolphin in a blender.”

Remember this amazing comment when everyone starts to get all whiney with their, “Shannon has too many walls up. We don’t really know Shannon.” Duh, she’s the snarky den mother, the troop leader with a sharp tongue and a heart of gold. Leave her the heck alone. Yes, we’re talking to you - Ronnie and Tyson.

Everyone's Broken This Week

February 28, 2008

Tyson Beckford totally came to the defense of the gays this week. And we're declaring Friday "Tyson Beckford Appreciation Day" around the office tomorrow. Read on...

So, this episode got a little dark, no? Right away this episode, we know something is off because it’s snowing. Well it’s not really the snow so much as Ronnie and Ben’s reaction to the snow. And each other. Awkward…

Judgement day. So we’re starting to suspect that America is male-centric. Either that, or good heavens, could the voters be...gay men? Goodbye Jacki darling. Ben and Perry return to the apartment and engage in what is our least favorite part of the show: The faux suspense at who the second person returning is and then the boys howl and rub up on each other in their strange wolf pack orgy ritual.

So they’re in the mountains and the winners will get to stay in a log cabin for the weekend. Why a log cabin? Tell us that’s not a reference to something. Poor Shannon. We were covering each other’s eyes because we were all waiting for an alien to come shooting out of her stomach.

Oh, right. This is reality TV. So anyhow, their photo shoot challenge is all about speed and motion and apparently falling down (which Niki neglects to mention). But actually, it’s sort of satisfying watching Perry fall down, over and over and over again.
