it’s time to start the dying!
Just as I’d predicted, Lauren got eliminated in Episode 10 because she screwed up her commercial shoot. I already saw it coming early on in the episode when she was becoming distant from the other girls, the Tyra Mail about the shoot arrived and then she remarked on how CoverGirl’s not her type of thing. I was really disappointed with her at the end because just like what the judges said, she didn’t even try.
My prediction for Stacy-Ann was correct, too. That is, she got eliminated in Episode 9 because of yet another unremarkable photo.
So now that all my personal favorites are gone, I’m just watching the show for the sake of finishing it. However, I’m beginning to like Anya and root for her to win. I agree with what some of the judges are saying about her, that out of all the remaining contestants, she’s the one who really fits the model bill, and I think she has the best personality among all the remaining girls. She’s not fake or catty and I’ve always found her weird accent rather amusing than annoying. Sure, she can be a little dense and she’s getting to be a little timid, but she’s nice and I very much prefer an ANTM winner’s personality to be considerably nice and likable.
On that note, Fatima must go. She’s the fakest of them all...!! I absolutely hate it whenever she complains about other contestants who act differently between the house and the judging room, and she talks about it as if she’s not the same when she exactly is, she’s all bitchy and arrogant during interviews, she started almost all the catfights and arguments in the house, but then she’s all innocent and humble during judging. She’s such a big hypocrite! I don’t even understand why she acts so high and mighty. I find her so fake that even her confident bitch attitude seems put-on.
Even Lauren can testify to Anya’s modest personality and Fatima’s fakery.
But I’m getting a bad feeling about this cycle’s finale since I realize that there are only two episodes left and Fatima’s still in the running. I remember reading these pre-cycle rumors/spoilers and one of them said that a black girl wins. I know they’re unreliable and they’re mostly speculation, but some of these rumors turned out to be pretty close and accurate and it did get this cycle’s international destination right (even though they kept saying it’s Milan instead of Rome or just plain Italy). The one that said a black girl wins even referenced Whitney. What if it’s true and Fatima comes out as the winner?
Please, I really hope not...
AXN Beyond has been showing reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it’s currently in the middle of Season 5, which is my favorite because it’s the most memorable to me. When the season originally played here on other channels, that’s when I started to really faithfully watch the show, doing all I can not to miss any episodes and to avoid spoilers. It was also when I found out that a lot of my friends were fellow big fans of the show that it was a usual topic of our conversations.
And I just love Glory. And I just love watching Spike being all foolish in love with Buffy all over again. X3 Also, Buffy’s wardrobe is beginning to be really stylish by this season, or at least to my taste. It’s much more confident, mature, sleek slayer and much less trendy California girl. Though in terms of Buffy’s wardrobe, my favorite season of the show would have to be the last one.
Which brings me to one of the main reasons why I enjoy watching Buffy reruns, especially the earlier seasons, and that’s because it’s fun to see and recognize fashion trends from the past, either remembering how popular one thing was or how I fell victim to them in one way or another.
Speaking of AXN Beyond, I wonder why last Monday night’s Supernatural episode was so short? It was the episode with the fairytale murders and it seemed like it only ran for thirty minutes.
Then, last night, I watched the premiere episode of Pushing Daisies on ETC 2nd Avenue. It’s cute and all, and it’s got an interesting and quite unique premise, but I couldn’t help thinking of it the whole time as some sort of combination of Amélie and Babe.
Some weeks ago, I was catching a few episodes of the Filipino-dubbed version of Bokura Ga Ita on Hero, got so curious about it that I looked it up, found it and watched it. Finished it in a week and got so depressed afterwards. It’s not because the anime’s ending was bittersweet, but it’s because after I finished watching it, I found out that that wasn’t the actual end of the story, the manga is still ongoing and there are rumors going around about another season of the anime. Though I’m not exactly sure why that frustrated me. I guess I just wanted it to be a one-shot type of deal because right now, I can’t really spare the attention and patience necessary to follow up on a not-so-popular series like it. It’s so frustrating that I can’t find any reliable and up-to-date sources for the series on the web.
More recently, I watched the NANA anime but only halfheartedly. Meaning, I only watched a bunch of episodes because I just wanted to know where the story goes after the end of the first live-action movie and I couldn’t find the second one. And I only continued watching the anime when I realized some of my favorite seiyuus are in it, like Tomokazu Seki and Toshiyuki Morikawa (I was like, Ryuuki! Conrad! XD). Although I’m curious as to how NANA’s story ends, I’ve had my fill of the anime for now and I’ll only finish it once I’m feeling up to it again.
And in other news, my paid account expired weeks ago and so I’m back to Basic. At first I was a little pissed off about it because I wanted to tweak my layout one last time, I wasn’t able to log on to do so until it was too late (I got sick on the week my paid time expired), and if I do the tweaking now, it might disable my layout’s advanced customizations. Though all in all for some reason, being back to a Basic Account is such a relief, it feels liberating and quite cathartic, like a load has been lifted off my shoulders.
By the way, whatever happened to the whole LiveJournal Basic Account debacle? Considering LJ’s never made any direct mention of it in news since this post, I’m guessing this is the last chapter of the issue. If that’s the case, then that means LJ’s decision is final and we Basic Account supporters have lost the fight, haven’t we?
Oh well.
