countdown to ANTM 10’s finale
Watched Episode 12 of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10 last Friday night, and it’s now down to Anya, Whitney and Fatima for the finale this week. I swear, I’m getting really nervous about it because those rumors of a black girl (Fatima) winning here are really becoming very likely to be true.
Oh well. At least I can say I wasn’t warned...?
Then on Saturday night, watched Tyra’s talk show because ANTM judges Paulina Porizkova and Nigel Barker were the guests. Paulina talked about how she warned Tyra before signing on to ANTM that she was going to be brutally honest with her judging. I thought that was a little funny because, although she was pretty frank with Dominique looking like a transvestite, Paulina is all in all nice and harmless in ANTM unlike how she was during Tyra’s show to those guest aspiring models, and she’s definitely not on Janice Dickinson’s level of scathing bluntness. Unless of course Paulina’s just buffered by ANTM’s editing or maybe she’s just warming up.
At another point in the show, Nigel Barker shared a really strange anecdote about his visit to the Philippines...was it just last year or was it already two years ago? I can’t remember. Anyway, I wonder if the story is true because what was so strange about it was that it mainly involved a male fan...Weird.
Lastly, on a totally unrelated-to-ANTM note, Chae Rim’s latest drama Formidable Rivals (or just plain Rivals) premiered on KBS World last night. The first episode was only so-so that I’m a little disappointed. I don’t think the show will offer anything really different and unique from other K-dramas (or at least the ones I’ve seen), and it’s looking to be more drama and action than quirky romantic comedy like Dalja’s Spring which I would prefer. Plus, Chae Rim isn’t particularly cute in this drama. But I guess at least I’d have something to kill time with when there’s nothing else to watch during Monday and Tuesday nights before the other shows I’ve been following...if I’m correct about the airtime, that is. KBS World has yet to update their site with more info about the show.
