ANTM Live Blogcast

Not sure why one might want an hour's worth of my thoughts, but here we go. . .

Ah, Italy. The girls have the same reaction I did when I went. The historic aspect has such a huge impact - you can just feel the significance. The way the old is juxtaposed with the new is so incredible. Ah, the Typewriter/Wedding Cake building! We arrived at night and it made me cry seeing it all lit up in it's splendor. I know it's a new building, but to me it represented what the old buildings must have looked like when they weren't just ruins. It was powerful. oh yeah, back to the show.

OMG Anya totally smacked the pavement. At least she laughs about it, too! I like her a little bit more now.

Whitney: "Only 1 other Plus Size model has made it this far, so it's like a Big deal to still be here. haha, no pun intended"

Katarzyna: "Our place in Italy is off the chain! Tyra is hooking us up!" seriously? We never hear her talk much and she busts out with "off the chain?" Is that really her personality? It seems so. .incongruous, to use a Tim word. It is a pretty sweet place, though, I will admit! What's up with all the big shared beds in this season, though?!

Fatima: "I'm back!" next frame, oh wait, I'm sick. When do they film these interviews? I never can figure that out, but for Fatima to be crying about not wanting to go home yet and she doesn't look sick in the interview. I'm so confused.

I like that Anya is annoyed that everyone is so petty and talks about other girls when they aren't around. She seems like a good person. Even if I can't understand what she's saying.

Oh Lauren, why does she have to be so clueless and anti-social?

Ha! Segways!

Whitney's red coat makes her stand out. She's so cute. And I remember the judges making such a big deal about the one Plus Size girl, I think just last season that seemed to loose weight, but honestly, half the time I forget Whitney is supposed to be Plus Size, she just looks so . . .normal! Oh wait, she is, the other girls are make believe sizes.

These women they are showing as examples of Italian style are totally NOT random, yeah right! They are way too posed and made up.

Clow-dio. [Claudio] Ah, Italian accents. *sigh

Gai, cool spelling, I thought it was Guy.

That belt on Fatima is super cinched.

How can you STILL be THAT BAD at walking, Lauren.

Anya wins again! Wow, I really didn't see that one coming. no really, I didn't think he was that impressed with her.

Go Katarzyna, deciphering the clue.

How can you be here if you are Not a Cover Girl? hello. Ugh, Lauren, you are going home this week if that's your approach and I will be sad.

(S&TC movie promo, I know some girls that are super excited about that premiere.)

Oh, Dominique that hair! ugh.

Memorizing another language. .that's hard, will there be cue cards?

Oh, walking and talking at the same time! Yes, Anya, that's super tricky. I was actually thinking the same thing, but to hear someone say it out loud it sounds pretty funny.

Sounds like it's only 3 lines, though? That's more doable. 30 minute time frame to get it right!

Is it just me or does Katarzyna always have the same eyes in every photo shoot? Wel, I mean, eye makeup, duh, her eyes are, in fact, the same each time.

Oh, lifeless, Lauren. You're already so defeated. It's enough to piss you off, rather than make you feel sorry for her.

Fatima's Italian sounds pretty convincing and she looks fairly comfortable. Surprising. Hell, she had to go and toot her own horn, of course. lost the brownie points she'd just gained with me.

Ok, come on Whitney, get it together girl and make it work! dang.

Disingenuous? hm, learned a new word. and from Mr. Jay, too!

Really, Lauren, you don't know how you did? really? girl, you didn't even TRY!

Glamorous panel room!

That was the most ghetto "Ciao, Bellas" I've ever heard, Tyra.

Cool, a fashion show on the Spanish Steps! That's an awesome shot, that would be cool to see -- more theatrical than being able to see anything fashion-wise. Tough walk for the models.

Hand you a cookie Ms. I've walked that fashion show 4 times!

Ooo, start with the strongest one. It's just going to get more painful as we go from here, judges.

Whitney was so breathy. ouch, Paulina is NOT a fan. I think she's a bit harsh with the mocking. Yea, Tyra! giving her props for actually putting effort and energy into it.

Well, Anya, the life drained out of you and you looked so awkward and stiff to me

Dominique is just scary. there's no way around it. waving her arms like a crazy woman and that awful purple throw up sweater thing. ick. oh and the commercial, just painful to watch. And her makeup is so bad! Her face is way too white and made up.

Paulina looks like Lucille Ball. What faces!

Oh snap, Katarzyna educating them on how to pronounce your name! again!

Paulina is like a proud mama and it's easy to see why, they look soooo much alike!

Keep holding that bandaged thumb up, Lauren and reminding everyone you are injured.

I'm ok with Anya being the Viewer's Choice for the week. She's growing on me.

Ha! Ms. Jay makes fun of her thumb, too.

Dominique, entertaining because she's so Drag. that's about right. except, I don't find her even entertaining. so you know what that leaves.

Decision time. Fatima. no surprise. Anya, yup. Katarzyna, good, the 'tude didn't turn them off too much.

Ugh, Dominique is still here.

Bye, Bye Plus Size?? Was this the excuse to get rid of her? They love Lauren's pictures too much, but her defeated attitude irks me enough to send her home.

Who stays? The one giving too much, that can be toned down, or the one that has already given up and isn't even making the effort. make the right choice, here, judges.

Oh, they did! I liked Lauren A LOT, but it bothers me she didn't progress or make any effort and I agree with the decision fully.

ANTM has to talk. .and don't forget walk, Tyra! It sucks to be sent home on such a sour note where you didn't even make an effort, don't you think? learn something from this experience, girl!

So, what's in store next week? Oh, Tyra photographer shots! Doesn't look like they'll get to wear cool clothes - are they cave women next week?! Tivo cuts off. . .

Ciao bellas!
