Allison Harvard turned the aisle into her runway! The America's Next Top Model alum married Jeremy Burke at Higuera Ranch in San Luis Obispo, Calif., over the weekend. "I love you so much," Allison wrote alongside several photos of their whimsical ceremony. "We have the most amazing family and friends and it was truly the best day of my life." Jeremy, who is also a creative in Los Angeles, said it was the "most beautiful day of my life" as well. The couple snapped a photo in front of a red and blue flower tower and shared more pics on their Instagram Stories of wild memories from the evening. They also revealed their unique...

Though Allison Harvard has gone done in history as the quirkiest contestant on America's Next Top Model, it's hard to forget her days as Creepy Chan. An unwitting Internet star in the early 2000s, Allison originally made waves when plenty of deer-in-the-headlights photos of her standing on tables became easy 4chan fodder, and earned no shortage of side-eyes. Yet there was something special there. Soon enough, this living meme was using her broken babydoll style, soft-spoken mannerisms and a dash of her hemophilia obsession to win over the rest of the world. The cult of Creepy Chan begins. A post shared by Allison Harvard (@alliharvard) on May 30, 2013 at 9:23pm Pdt Short version: Allison rose to prominence on the Internet like forever long before Instagram was even in utero. After publishing a string of her eerie self-portraits onto her Livejournal account and other online hot spots, she made it big...

I'm probably the biggest "America's Next Top Model" fan out there, but even I admit the show was feeling stale. Creator Tyra Banks tried shaking things up in the past with "themed" seasons. Some were interesting (short models) and others were a stretch (USA vs. UK).For Cycle 20, male models will also be in the mix. Introducing guys is a smart move and will (hopefully) change the dynamic of the show. Will the guys be just as catty? Will romances develop? And how will the infamous nude shoots go?Here's the first look at the seven guys and seven girls vying for the title of "America's Next Top Model." With 5,000+ Facebook likes, it looks like Don (above left) is already a favorite (the viewers votes factor heavily into the eliminations). As for the girls, Jourdan is in the lead with nearly 3,000 likes.There's definitely some untraditional-looking models too, including wide-eyed,...

Looks like one very motivated Ukrainian woman has beat Nicki Minaj to the punch in becoming a real-life Barbie. Or has she? After a Facebook page popped up for impossibly doll-like Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova, 21, the Internet is abuzz with questions of whether she is a real girl or simply a plaything for avid Photoshoppers.
It’s hard to judge based on Lukyanova’s beyond-tiny waist and kewpie-on-acid-sized eyes. That her Facebook page was only started four days ago and has swiftly been flooded with perfectly manicured images does reek of a better looking Catfish. Regardless, Lukyanova’s popularity is...

As 2011 swings around to its inevitable conclusion, the Rubbernecker feels the need (okay, you can call it an addiction) to fete this year's TV glories and gories. And there were quite a few of each. As you may know I have a fondness for the ticky-tacky known as Reality Television, I so love the term because it's so not anyone's reality I've ever known. So this recap will examine first the ridiculous... then the sublime.
Best Reality Show Of 2011 (and it is, actually, a Reality Show)
Hands down, this would be the Gop debates we've had occasion to scope in the latter part of the annum. I mean, what can one say? This has been such a delicious treat! And it's only getting more interesting as the wheat separates from the chaff. Only there really is no wheat amongst this motley crew... just chaff. I'll see you in Iowa next...

Lisa D'Amato, the wild child of Cycle 5, was the winner of "America's Next Top Model" all star edition. She tells Zap2it she knew in her heart she was the winner.
Obviously you're glad you came back to "Top Model." Did it just blow away your expectations?
"I definitely think that it was the perfect opportunity. It landed in the perfect pocket in my life where I couldn't be more appreciative, more prepared, more ready ... I had already been executing my brand to the fullest extent. I always thought my brand was 'fearless,' but they gave me 'daring,' which actually fits right in there."
Did you have a different idea of what the show was going to be coming in, because some of the girls have expressed they thought it was going to be different from what it really was.
"For me, branding always meant what is involved in the entertainment industry.

Lisa D'Amato walked away with the "America's Next Top Model All Star" crown on Wednesday night, but she insists she does not know what happened with finalist Angelea Preston who was disqualified on the finale for reasons that were not fully explained.
"I don't actually know what happened," Lisa told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman on Thursday.
"It's all speculation," the model and musician added, referring to some of the rumors about why Angelea was cut from the final. "It's a competition where people get eliminated."

I cannot believe the day is finally here and we can escape from this atrocious cycle of America's Next Top Model: All Stars. The final three are about as different as can be and at this point I'm really not sure who will win or who I ultimately even want to win. Allison is obviously my favorite model thanks to her ability to take great pictures in almost every situation and her personality not making me want to punch her in the face. I might not want Allison to win though because I would worry it would hold her back from being a bigger, more successful model. Lisa still gets on my nerves when she trash talks or makes things uncomfortable. But I've got to hand it to her — she's been taking great pictures this season, has stepped up to the plate on every challenge and would fit in...

Allison Harvard was the runner-up on "America's Next Top Model" all stars. She tells Zap2it about her time on the show, which she mostly enjoyed.
Are you glad you came back to Top Model?
"Um, yeah. I feel like that was something I kind of thought about even before I completely was on board with it. I thought about it a lot. I had so many great experiences and I came out with some good friends, and some ridiculous experiences and I got to go to Greece. I mean, life isn't so bad. [laughs] I had a really great time and it's always fun to go on an adventure."
Some girls were mad that all stars wasn't exactly what you were pitched, did you feel that way?

Spoiler Alert… America's Next Top Model crowned a winner to its all-star season last night, but not without controversy and more than a little mystery. Lisa D'Amato edged Allison Harvard after Angelea Preston was disqualified for unexplained reasons.
After the three finalists competed in a Cover Girl commercial, a beach photo shoot for Vogue Italia in Crete, and a runway show that felt more like a high-heeled triathlon, the ladies were summoned back to Los Angeles to face the judges. Nigel Barker and host Tyra Banks cryptically announced that Preston was out for some violation of contest rules.

After 17 seasons, you'd think the producers of "America's Next Top Model" would have their screening process down pat, especially in an "All-Star" cycle featuring previous contestants.Somehow, something in Angelea Preston's life disqualified her in the final round of the competition, leaving only Lisa D'Amato and Allison Harvard vying for the title (speculation is that Angelea leaked information before the show aired, a violation of the rules, but no explanation was given by the judges)."After production wrapped on the current cycle of "America's Next Top Model," we learned information that made Angelea ineligible and she was subsequently disqualified from the competition," the CW said in a statement following the episode. "As a result, new scenes were filmed to address this for the audience during the finale."At 30, Lisa is well-past the age that most models find success.

America's Next Top Model crowned a winner Wednesday night in its all-stars cycle, but not before a shocking and largely unexplained disqualification of one of the final three contestants. Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard, and Angelea Preston were battling for the crown, but after an unusual panel, the judges declared that Preston was disqualified - without saying exactly why - and that D'Amato and Harvard would square off for the title. Eventually, D'Amato was named the winner, but the buzz around the Internet continued to focus on the nature of Preston's dismissal. In a statement, the CW said it had learned...

All eyes were on Angelea throughout the America's Next Top Model All-Stars Finale. Not because she performed particularly well, but because she was disqualified and sent home!
In a series first, Tyra gave Angelea the book during panel for a yet-unknown reason. Sources say the contestant revealed a few spoilers since taping ended, with some actually claiming she won... only for the show to re-film a new ending with a new champion. Scandalous!
The finale did a great job of wrapping up loose threads from the cycle. “Pot Ledom,” the forgotten Michael Cinco dresses and the dreaded CoverGirl commercials all made an appearance in the action-packed episode.
Angelea, Allison and Lisa all flubbed the CoverGirl commercials in their own special way. Of course, the spots are infamous, but the girls so far have been rocking live shoots this season, so my expecations were higher.

Last night's America's Next Top Model All-Stars finale sure didn't lack for drama. One finalist, Angelea Preston, was mysteriously disqualified. Then, with little explanation from Tyra, the show or the network, the entire final judging panel was reshot with the two remaining finalists. And, once again, cycle 12 fan-favorite Allison Harvard ended up runner-up rather than big winner, coming in second to cycle 5's Lisa D'Amato.
The fan response to all this controversy has ranged from curious to furious, but it hasn't fazed Allison too much. "I made it so far again, and I'm so lucky that I get to wake up every day and be like, wow, my life is ridiculous and funny, and I've had such a peculiar past few months. But I think that's the beauty of it," she told me when we spoke this morning.

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.13 "All-Star Finale" Review
Just in case y'all aren't wizards, pot ledom is "what the hell was that finale?!" backwards.
Trust.
But really, for an inherently bizarre show like Top Model, the all-star finale might have been its most strange episode to date. Let's be non-conformists and start at the end with that obviously tacked-on-as-hell ending that saw Lisa triumph over Allison to become the "first Top Model all-star" (Tyra's words, not mine). Some time following Greece, Angelea volunteered information to producers, information that led her to be disqualified and a second panel to be held featuring only Allison and Lisa. We still have no idea how Angelea, the girl I assumed was taking this puppy home, managed to be Dq'ed, but rumor has it that she had let details about the cycle slip on her Facebook account and that violated her contract. It felt...

On the "America's Next Top Model" all stars cycle finale, it came down to Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard and Angelea Preston. But at the final judging, only Allison and Lisa were present.
Why? The judges just said that Angelea had been disqualified. But they did not elaborate past that much information. We haven't been able to dig up much either.
Some Yahoo Answers people are saying that Angelea posted "Top Model" spoilers on her Facebook page. Some on Wiki Answers are even saying she said that she won the season, so they re-shot the finale and had Lisa win instead.
We have received an official statement from the CW:
"After production wrapped on the current cycle of America's Next Top Model, we learned information that made Angelea ineligible and she was subsequently disqualified from the competition. As a result, new scenes were filmed to address this for the audience during the finale.

After an unusual panel where the judges informed us that Angelea had been disqualified (we talk about why here), Allison and Lisa were the final two, with Lisa being declared the winner.
Let's see how we got there ...
The episode starts off with each girl talking about their journey, blahblahblah sad story cakes. Let's get to the crazy challenge and photoshoot.
The Cover Girl print ad and commercial
This is always a hilarious trainwreck. Lisa's print shoot is really pretty, her eye makeup is crazy and looks awesome. Her commercial lines are actually pretty solid, except for a weird "oh yes" line, but honestly, that's the bad writing. It's a clunky line.
Allison's print shoot is kind of bland, but her eyes,...

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break my darlings! The ladies are still in Greece and it looks like this week's episode is going to be filled with a lot of creepiness, yelling, crying and, as per usual, ridiculousness.
Tyra is going to have the girls be part of a "fashion film" based on her book, Modelland, which Lisa says is going to be "epic." I'm at the point right now when if one of the models says they're going to be a part of something "epic," I prepare myself for the worst.
Speaking of the worst, Angelea reminds us that she's still there while Dominique was sent packing after the previous challenge. She admits that she was surprised Dominique was the one sent home but that she was a hater. We're then treated to a montage of Angelea's emotional breakdown.

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.12 "Tyson Beckford" Review
Cycle 17 of Top Model has thus far been on the wrong side of the crazy train, backing away from the show's so-bad-its-perfect typical formula and going for a we're-vaguely-trying-and-failing-miserably bland of dull desperation that simply won't do. Top Model is nothing with out a little looniness and in continuing the charade that dressing like Snooki and eating a hot dog freely will gain you fame and fortune, cycle 17 has lacked the fun that earlier cycles exuded in spades.
But tonight, y'all...tonight was something else, to say the least. In my years of watching Top Model, I've never been as dumbfounded as I was watching whatever that motion editorial was. Awkward laughter, wide eyes, a few "what the hell"s - every time Allison dressed like a cat or Lisa held a baby doll or Laura ate whipped cream too sexily,...

But tonight, y'all...tonight was something else, to say the least. In my years of watching Top Model, I've never been as dumbfounded as I was watching whatever that motion editorial was. Awkward laughter, wide eyes, a few "what the hell"s - every time Allison dressed like a cat or Lisa held a baby doll or Laura ate whipped cream too sexily,...

"America's Next Top Model" all stars keeps getting weirder and weirder, as Tyra busts out her book, "Modelland," and makes the girls film a motion editorial for it.
The Challenge
The girls have to write a blog post for the editor of Vogue Italia, which is one of the prizes if they win this cycle. This is their audition blog post and it has to talk about the scene and the fashion of Crete. They get an outfit, they chose a location, have to take photos and then they write their blog. They have three hours for all of it. The best one wins a trip back to Crete for two for seven. Nice.
Lisa focuses on hot spots, while Angelea goes more real and gritty. Allison and Laura both go to the same spot on the water. We revisit the blog thing later and find out that Angelea wins the challenge.

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.11 "Highlights" Review
Hey, you know what this hideous season of Top Model needs?
Why, an episode that recaps every absurd, maddening minute of the hours of our life that we've sunk into this show, of course! Yes, "Highlights" was Top Model's typical late cycle look back at the good times, the bad times, and the times that made me want to throw my TV out the window. I don't typically watch clip shows, as there's very rarely any interesting information that gets presented, but because I love/appreciate everybody who reads and comments on my weekly reviews, I figured "why the heck not?". You're all top models in my eyes, my little pot ledoms.
And...there wasn't anything that stimulating that came from the new footage. At all. I mean, if you're into arguments about time on the phone or finding out that Alexandria has 13 besties (!), then hey,...

We're back in Greece and Dominique is psyched to be the dark horse in the competition. She says that while she misses her children — who are absolutely adorable — she's doing this for them and hopes to bring home the All Star title.
Wait, I take back my previous statement about the location of the models. Some of the girls are in Greece and Angelea is still stuck on Get A Clue Island. She's so confused about why she keeps getting stuck in the bottom two while Dominique hasn't been there once. She also insists that Dominique is not an All Star. Homegirl needs to get her eyes checked and take a look at their pictures again. She also needs to listen to all of the previous comments from the judges because they keep waiting for her to be great on camera. I'm fed up with her nonstop boasting when she's...

We're down to the Top 5 on America's Next Top Model so the pressure is really on. Dominique thinks she is the dark horse because a lot of the others didn't think she would be here. Angelea privately agrees, saying that she thinks she is stronger than Dominique and doesn't get "all-star" from her. Laura thinks Angelea needs to gain confidence and says that she is very guarded, while Lisa calls Allison her toughest competition despite her personal opinion that she looks dead. First up this week is a potentially explosive challenge overseen by Miss J. The girls have to judge each other on their walks, portfolios and overall star quality, which predictably ends in fireworks when Miss J quizzes everyone on who they think should be leaving the competition this week. Laura refuses to answer, as does Allison and Lisa, but Dominique decides that honesty (more)...

It’s getting down to the wire! With just five girls left in the house, tensions were running high for all involved in "Exploring Greece." When Mr. Jay announced that the girls had to critique one another for the challenge, you could just feel that fuse burning.
Sure enough, Angelea thew a fit when Dominique passionately announced that the former was the weakest link in the house. It probably came as a shock to Angelea because all the girls (making history of Antm) magnanimously announced that no one is less deserving than anyone else.
Although Dominique and sweet Laura attempted to help Angelea, she stormed out and was coaxed back only by Mr. Jay. Maybe it’s because I adore Laura and she seemed genuine, but I thought Angelea completely overreacted. Does anyone think that girls were simply trying to throw her off her game?
I’m loving the change of venue so far,...

America's Next Top Model: All-Stars 17.10 "Exploring Greece" Review
So...we're all in agreement that Angelea is winning this thing, right?
A pre-ordained win has to be the only explanation for the outcome of "Exploring Greece", which saw 716 dispatch Dominique to move into the top 4, because if the judges genuinely think that Angelea is emotionally ready/talented enough to handle the rigors of winning Top Model: Rednecks, Party Girls, Chickenheads, and Allison, they are more out of touch than I realized. I don't have anything against Angelea, per se, in that I understand that her big personality, emotional backstory, and passable portfolio make for good reality TV. I laugh at her one-liners and appreciate how uninhibited she seems to be, but there is no way in the world that she deserved to stay tonight. Dominique took better pictures, had a better runway walk, was more professional in her attitude/personal style,...

We start out back from judging and the "America's Next Top Model" girls are apparently turning into catty monsters (like they haven't been already, right?). Angelea can't believe she's been in the Bottom 2 and Dominique hasn't. Lisa thinks her biggest competition is Allison - "She blinks and [the judges] freak out ... I think she looks like she's, like, dead."
Nice, ladies.
Challenge
The challenge has them critiquing each other. There is not a lot of constructive criticism, mostly just random I-don't-like-this stuff, with no real reasoning behind it. But Then. Miss Jay asks them to say who doesn't deserve to be there. Laura, Allison and Lisa all take the Miss Congeniality route and say there is no one who doesn't deserve to be there. Dominique then busts out that Angelea is lacking in confidence and isn't owning her all-star-ness. It's actually a nice speech about how Dominique sees potential in Angelea and thinks she can give more.

The "America's Next Top Model" girls head to Greece, to be part of a Greek salad for their photoshoot. Yes, really.
Greece is the Word
The girls find out it's time to head to Greece. Before they leave, Lisa makes some snotty comments about Allison and how she (Lisa) is more the whole package. You're just mad you got beat at the music video contest, Lisa.
They have a challenge on the flight to Crete where they have to prepare a one-minute speech that includes a bunch of Greek words. No huge surprise that Angelea thinks she'll just wing it. Because if it's memorized it won't have her flavor or something.
Allison rocks it and wins the challenge. Most of the girls really biff it. Poor Laura is so awkward and hardly uses any Greek. She's hilarious. Angelea hardly uses any Greek and then makes a bathroom joke. Oh lordy.

Alexandria Everett is the latest contestant sent home from "America's Next Top Model" All Star edition. She tells Zap2it what she's been working on since she did back-to-back cycles and that she was was a little upset Cycle 17 was basically just like the one she'd just been on.
Are you glad you went back for another cycle of "Top Model"?
"Yeah, you know, I would definitely regret if I said I wasn't. I did it for my fans and I did it for myself, so I'm really happy with that decision. I feel like you can always learn from every decision that you make. I learned a lot, just like Cycle 16. I will use everything I learned to my advantage now in the real world."
Were you surprised to get the call for All Stars? You couldn't have been off of Cycle 16 for very long when it came.

On "America's Next Top Model," I thought the music video challenge was going to be a trainwreck, but it turns out I was wrong.
The Challenge
Some Madison girl is on the Tyra Mail screen giving make-up tips. I'm sorry, but I work on the internet and I have no idea who this is. Hmm. It turns out the challenge is writing a song and starring in a music video. Um, yikes. This so unfair for the girls who aren't musically inclined. And it's not something a non-musically-inclined person would even care about doing. *headsmack*
Angelea comments, "We're going to be shooting a music video and it will be viral." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Jay then says, "This can totally change your life. Think how going viral worked for Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber." Um, first of all...

The Game may not be an expert in fashion, but he does know a thing or two about what looks good when it comes to women. Of course, the same could be said for most men, but most men didn't get to be a guest judge on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9Pm Et On The CW), and The Game did.
He was particularly fascinated by Allison's video shoot, which he also got to direct. She wasn't quite sure what to make of his critique at first, because he was fixated on the word "weird" in trying to describe what he'd just seen. In his defense, it is certainly the first thing that comes to mind, and not in a bad way.

Well we made it everybody! We're finally in the home stretch of this cycle and it couldn't have come soon enough. As we start tonight's show Lisa is upset about Bre leaving but also adds that Bianca doesn't have a bodyguard anymore.
Alexandria, looking the least fierce I've ever seen her, reminds us that the judges knocked her picture for looking like "a reality TV star" and I'm reminded what a joke that is considering the fact that they are on a reality TV show. They — Tyra included — need to get over themselves and probably shouldn't use that as a way to cut the contestants down, particularly considering who their guest judges have been so far.
Shannon says she thinks the judges want more raunch from her. I think she just needs to stop being boring.
Bianca is pissed that the house is full of cliques because now she doesn't...

It's a double elimination on "America's Next Top Model" week, where they have what is maybe the most ridiculous photoshoot of all time (and that is saying something).
The Challenge
The girls are at the Roosevelt Hotel to design their own fragrance. Ooh, that's awesome. I would really get into that challenge. Lisa names her scent "Neon," Laura goes with "Love," Dominique goes with "Survivor," Shannon names hers "Smitten," Angelea names hers "Angelea" (of coruse she does, Angelea rules), Allison names hers "Honey Blood," Kayla's is "Free" (again, snoooooze), Bianca's is "Candid" and Alexandria's is "Diamondatrix." Huh.
I wish these were for sale because I really want to smell them all. I feel like I would like Allison's just because I love her and I'm kind of a big weirdo like her. But who knows? I want to smell them!

Once a reality show has been in the trenches for a few weeks, its contestants are bound to get a little frustrated. Even the most seasoned of reality famewhore can get a little tired of the constant grind that the medium requires: the inane challenges, the leading questions that you just know will be edited strangely, the lack of any proper distractions in television or the internet. After the show has gotten through its first few weeks and worn down the optimism to a nice, crisp apathy, you get to see the claws come out.
Luckily, Top Model: This Cycle Has Nothing to Do With Fashion Stop Pretending It Does, Tyra comes prepared for situations like this, as crazy Aunt Tyra let the girls take out some frustration in "Coco Rocha".

Coco Rocha is on hand for a "b**** fight" photoshoot. That should be such a stretch for some of the "America's Next Top Model" girls.
After Panel
Bianca continues to be confrontational and think everybody hates her because she's a threat. Must be Wednesday.
The Challenge
Flag football. Awesome. Brittny Gastineau and Julie Henderson are there. Brittny is a socialite and Julie is a "fiercely real" supermodel. The teams are filled out by the eliminated girls, then some NFL players - Julian Edelman from the Patriots, Jahvid Best from the Lions, Kareem Jackson from the Texas and Dante Hughes from the Chargers. Angelea is beside herself. You and me both, girl.
The stupid Tyra twist is when a flag is thrown, you have to immediately strike a pose for the photographer. You win a spread on Tyra's website and some jewelry. The winning team splits $5000 between the two charities represented...

Another Wednesday night is here and my booty is firmly tooched on the couch for America's Next Top Model. The three of us (I'm assuming there's still three of us) have made it all the way to the Kardashian guest star appearance. Yay for us.
When we last were with the girls, Angelea won the challenge and now she is feeling supa dupa fly and in her solo interview she says the other girls better be scared because they underestimated her. She's ready to take over now.
Bre thought she'd be doing better since she's been working as a model professionally for the last six years but she's not doing as well as she'd like.
Lisa says we better hold on tight because she's about to unleash the crazy beast from inside. I can't wait because I am bored as hell.
Kayla and Bianca talk about how they didn't think...

Well, it’s about time!Tonight’s episode, "Latoya Jackson," gave us some good old-fashioned Antm meltdowns and the sort of drama that got me hooked on the show in the first place.
For some unknown reason, Shannon the Christian felt attacked by Bianca the Villain, setting the stage for a huge fight that somehow ended up involving the whole house.In the middle of it all was, of course, Lisa the Clown.
Bianca’s supreme confidence coupled with the other girls aligning against her put her at odds with the judges and everyone but Bre.Yes, Bianca, you are 6 ft tall, 120 lbs. and beautiful.Now make up your mind on whether you want to be on Antm because you can’t seem to stop whining!

What do you get when you cross Latoya Jackson, the Kardashian sisters, and drag impersonations of an icon no longer with us?
Give up?
Me, too and apparently so has Top Model, as "Latoya Jackson" proved once and for all that the show has pretty much bailed on all sense of fashion legitimacy this go around. I don't know why I keep expecting America's Next Top Model: All-Stars to turn things around and become a beacon of couture realness, but once again, the reality in this reality competition series took over and we were subjected to an episode even loopier and tackier than usual.
It's not that the show was poor in idea. I don't mind the Kardashians stopping by, as they're at least involved in the fashion industry and they've been famous for long enough to where they could impart some decent knowledge how to handle yourself in the public eye.

We start things off Wednesday (Oct. 12) on "America's Next Top Model" with Bre and Lisa talking about how they need to step it up and how they're in danger, which leads me to predict they are the Bottom 2 tonight. Meanwhile, Bianca is all mopey and Dominique rightly points out you can never be above an opportunity, which is true.
A lot of the evicted models have been telling us in interviews that they were pitched something totally different for all-stars than what it turned out to be. But it's still face time on TV and a chance for something.
Now there is phone drama about calling their families. Shannon has a good idea about drawing spots for time and Bianca gets last. She has a problem with it, but she's not confrontational about it, but Shannon the "quiet Christian" kind of loses it. I don't love Bianca, but I'm with her on this one.

Welcome back ladies and gents! If you've made it this far along the All Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model, you are a true warrior!
The episode begins with the girls coming back to the house and Angelea says she's going to work on showing herself more.
Lisa brings out the bottles of wine and reminds us she did a stint on Celebrity Rehab. I totally missed that season, but I'm thinking the networks are going to have to start redefining their takes on "Celebrity" "Stars" and "All Stars." Even though Lisa brought the booze out, she says she's not going to drink. She's going to keep her head focused.
The girls get some snail mail and while the younger contestants seem to be getting a lot of clothes and fun things from home, Camille gets a big box of work. She said she's been doing well but work...

I totally missed that season, but I'm thinking the networks are going to have to start redefining their takes on "Celebrity" "Stars" and "All Stars." Even though Lisa brought the booze out, she says she's not going to drink. She's going to keep her head focused.
The girls get some snail mail and while the younger contestants seem to be getting a lot of clothes and fun things from home, Camille gets a big box of work. She said she's been doing well but work...

Oh my, who says models aren't smart?
In "Anthony Zuiker," we got an early look at the most painful challenge that all Antm candidates face: memorizing lines. But double the pain because they had to memorize difficult (re: unpronounceable) medical jargon from CSI.
In almost every cycle of Antm to date, there was a medical mishap. In Cycle 6, Danielle suffered from food poisoning in Thailand; in Cycle 7, CariDee almost got hypothermia.This cycle it was Kayla with a serious headache.
After Kayla overdosed on ibuprofen, the poor thing had a “mini-heart attack” and was taken to the hospital.Thankfully, she returned to model mansion looking as good as new, even if she did look drained throughout the episode.
The actual CSI challenge was seriously painful to watch.Neosporin?Gas?Mass?Ass?These were just some of the words that the girls threw around as they attempted to pronounce "gas chromatograph mass spectrometer.

I'm not going to play, last night's episode of America's Next Top Model made me want this All Star cycle to be over with quickness. Not only am I over trying to suspend my disbelief that most of these girls were the chosen as "All Stars," but as of yesterday we found out Kelly Cutrone will be replacing Andre Leon Talley as a judge next season. Alright, I won't postpone this any longer, let's dive in.
As with the last two episodes, the girls are in the limo cab on their way back to the model house and are discussing the night's elimination results. Lisa says she was surprised she won. I don't know what kind of Toddlers and Tiaras thing she's got going on with her hair in these interview clips, but it needs to go.
The girls seem very surprised about Sheena's sashay away and keep saying,...
