In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

12.09.04 (6:15 am) [edit]

Down to the final weeks and the suspense is building. Who will be (say this breathlessly) "AmericasNextTopModel"? Ann-Banana deservedly got the ax this week. Farewell to the robo-model! That leaves Eva-Diva who should get cut next week, leaving Awesome Amanda and YaYa to square off. As I said before Yaya will win because Amanda will get cut due to poor eyesight. Anyway. This week had a major twist as the judges said that none of the four girls were Top Model quality. What?!? Didn't they say in previous weeks that Yaya and Amanda were Top Model caliber? Of course they did but the judges are trying to evoke or emote, or whatever it is that actors do to promote uncertainty and drama. Gosh, I was so thrown that I nearly cried into my banky. I mean, what if they end the series abruptly without any winners?

(*sigh*) And if this giant of a show survives another 2 years or so you know they'll have a competition between the past winners. Reality TV like ordinary TV gets a bit predictable, just like in real life. Maybe that's why it's called Reality TV. Except many of them are scripted and, of course, edited for maximum effect. What that effect is supposed to be - I dunno.
