Philyra

ANTM MOBILE GAME, Y'ALL. There goes my data plan.

A little Tyra goes a long way, but I was surprised she didn't stick around to speak or see the finalists. I did like her inspirational pep talk to the judges though. Go sees are always my favorite, so I was bummed we didn't get any this season.

As soon as we saw Justine's family photo, I knee she was a goner. I also found it funny how they harped on how young she was. Australia's Next Top Model just wrapped up - the average contestant age was 18.5, the winner was 16, and the oldest contestant was 25 (and constantly remarked on it).

Gasket story about the Bachelor charity date auction last weekend: http://gawker.com/you-could-fuck-a-guy-from-the-bachelor-for-5600-1759174824 Someone paid over $5,000 for a "fantasy suite" date with Nick V. What a world.

I actually let out a "Nooooooooooo" in the office when I saw the Instagram post. As much as this show went of the rails into bootytoochboomboomledom, this is probably my favorite guilty pleasure reality show. I've watched since Jump Street (though I somehow totally missed the McKey season). I'm hoping this is one of those cries for love and attention, and hopefully the international versions still keep on keeping on. But if it's really goodbye, I'm gonna miss not having ol' Tyra to kick around anymore

Nick should be F2 on every season of the Bachelorette from here until the end of time.

She had planned on making a hot brown, an open faced meat sandwich, using the chicken wings as the meat. She didn't realize until way too late that the wings were actually rice krispie treats and her sandwich ended up super duper sweet.

Oh man, I would give anything to see Season 2 with Aaron Buerge again. I was in college that year and was the only one of my friends with cable. A bunch of us would get together and just heckle the show mercilessly, so it has a special place in my heart. Also my favorite contestant ever Christi, who cried over/to/about Aaron CONSTANTLY and was batshit beyond belief. The New York Times snippet about that season sums it up so well: Ahh, memories.

I saw the news this morning and was stunned. I can't believe she was only 19. She was murdered alongside her boyfriend and his roommate - I wonder if it's the same boyfriend she was with during the filming of the show. Is she the first ANTM contestant to die?

I also thought the pregnancy could explain Tia's year-long absence as well. If the person she was stealing pictures from was pregnant, she couldn't update new photos as Brogan without having some explaining to do.
