"So why do you want to be a model again? For Jesus." OR "We're going to save the world!" OR "I'm only getting loving-er"

Just watched the premiere of America's Next Top Model Cycle 13, oh no, sorry, Le Cycle 13, since Tyra is choosing to speak with a French accent throughout the episode for some bizarre, unknown reason. Every time a new season is about to start I always plan on watching and promptly forget until one day when I'm home doing 6 loads of laundry and they're running an ANTM marathon on TV.

So I finally got with the program and watched. Online. A few days after it aired.

Holy Crap is this an amazing show.

Tyra: NUTS! I love her!

And then there's all these awesome girls!

Like Amber, who, unfortunately, had to drop out "for personal reasons" before the show even started. She loves Jesus, so much in fact, that she wants to be a model for him because he wants her to save the world. She booty dances for the homeless on Friday nights. She is like a virgin because she hasn't had sex for two years. And she has the CRAZIEST catwalk and poses!



Then there's my other favorite: Nicole. She takes a rusted wheelbarrow to school instead of a backpack. Because she was into William Carlos Williams? She's quiet and completely emotionless (except for when the giant stretch SUV limo pulled up and J popped his head out the window). Also, her nickname was Bloody Eyeball (look for the explanation of that around 1:41).



My last favorite is Laura. Not 'cause she has any sort of crazy, but because she's from a farm in the South and she's just fucking awesome. She castrates bulls for a living and says it with such a sweet Southern accent!


And this "upper middle-class girl" may be nice and all (since at the age of 19 she has already lived on a sheep farm somewhere, and then spent 3 months backpacking through the South Pacific and - oh no! - had to buy herself a plane ticket to Chicago for the casting with her dad's credit card since she currently lives in Costa Rica. Oh, the lives of the rich are so difficult! The conundrums!) but I just can't stomach the waves of rich hippie rolling off of her.


God, I'm such a hater.
