IF YOU'RE NOT CHEATING, YOU'RE NOT TRYING: There was a little bit of complaining about the lack of an ANTM post today, so let me just say: blame fraud for distracting me. In truth though, there isn't much to say about last night's episode. The right person went home (and should have gone home last week, or several times during the last few weeks), and we saw yet another of the show's go-to moves: encourage contestant to open up and say what's on her mind, then absolutely savage her for opening up and saying what's on her mind. In fact, if you go on this show and you say anything other than "I want to be just like Tyra, except not quite as good" or, for the less comfortable with the English language (not pointing any fingers at past winners, you understand), "yay Tyra!"
As for the rest of the season -- meaning the only remaining episode -- since they fired the one who took the best pictures, I don't really care who wins. (Actually, I'm kind of rooting for Jenah, who is very much a stunning model whenever she hides her teeth and the pocket doors that cover them, plus she seems kind of normal.) If I were betting on this, though, I wouldn't discount the fact that Tyra likes to do whatever makes her look the best, and ever since Tyra cured autism, her T-Zone work to build kids' (including Saleisha's) self-esteem has been begging for some screen time. I mean, this is a really phenomenal story, guys -- Tyra took a tall, skinny, beautiful, gregarious, sociable girl and gave her self-esteem! A Christmas miracle! Though, presuming that one gets paid to model professionally for ANTM and for The Tyra Banks Show Starring Tyra Banks, that's not all she gave her. I'm going to predict that if Saleisha wins it this cycle, then next cycle the final two are going to be Tyra's mom and the ref who gave Chris Webber the technical for the phantom timeout.
