[Last hug?]

[To get to all of my screen captures, click here.]

So for weeks now I've been waiting for the gay romance on "Make me a Supermodel" and it's just not happening. And then they put Ronnie and Ben in the bottom three? Damn, was I pissed... But I knew that Casey didn't have a s*it on my two sweet cuddling bears. So he got auf'd. And as if he knew it he proved his strange sense of fashion by wearing an "I was hired for my looks"- shirt. Did he get that joke right? It doesn't make sense on you, honey. And this Napoleon jacket? Auf Wiedersehen..

So Ronnie and Ben both were safe and having diagnosed, that they are "their own worst obstacles" (oh yes you are, Mr. and Ms. Uptight) I thought now it's really time for a kiss. And I am talking about french kissing. Tongue all over the place. Saliva. Gay passion! And what did they do? Hug! Ugh. There's just too much composure, you really are your own worst obstacles.

Before they left the runway Cory told Ben that in his eyes America made the wrong decision this time. Ouch. Last time they didn't even discuss that question. Mean man. So Perry lost his last roommate. Trying to play nice he looked awful. And then Holly was complaining about "Ronnie getting an attitude lately" just after pretending to shoot the boys one after another and talking about how much "the girls" dislike "the boys". What's their problem? Are they jealous because they have not found true love in this competition? So immature.

[The proud face.]

Introducing the next challenge Tyson talked about "traveling around the world as a model" and stuff like that and I was completely excited where they were going to go. Maybe to the Carribean, doing some naked photoshoot at the beach? Or to New Zealand, doing some naked photoshoot at the beach? Or to Cyprus, doing some naked photoshoot on the beach? Or to Russia, doing some naked photoshoot on the... ummm.. Red Square? And then Tyson announced they're going to.... *drum roll*..... New Orleans. Pfffffffffft. Well.. you can get naked in New Orleans, too.. I guess. At least it's Bens hometown so he gave his happiest smile in a long time.

After that "huge surprise" Tyson wanted to talk to Perry and again it was about his girlfriend Amanda making out with Adnan Ghalib. Who wants to know about Perry Ullmanns private life? Ben is having much more difficult issues not knowing how to tell his wife that he's gay, but Tyson is not talking about that. And you know why? Because his wife is not Adnan Ghalib! Dayum.. Inside Perry probably was excited because Adnan and his girlfriend met at Perry house, so Britney Spears' boyfriend has been to his house and his house has been on the National Enquirer.

Arriving at Hotel Monte Leone and getting to their rooms Perry instantly claimed the single bed so Ronnie and Ben were forced to sleep together in one bed. Yeah right. They just edited it that way. Later Perry revealed the truth by telling that Ben was desperate to sleep with Ronnie in the same bed and so he was "Alright, that's cool, I'll make that sacrifice." And what's Bens reaction to Perry revelation? He goes to Perry and punches him right into his crutch. He will take every opportunity to get to a mans crotch. He has to make up 23 years. The one thing I didn't want to see though was Perry scratching his balls. But I guess the viewer has to make sacrifices, too.

The New Orleans photoshoot assignment was to create a gothic scene amongst the graves of the Lafayette Cemetery and to showcase very deep emotions without moving too much. And I was like "Nooooo.... Ben's not good at body language and facial expressions... He's good at getting naked. Get him to Russia RIGHT. NOW!" but surprisingly he did very well. He did a great job giving some cemetery- inspired faces and even incorporating Dennis the crow into the shoot he did a great job and held strong although Dennis tried to eat him and after failing with that he shit on his jacket. But as Ronnie said: Bird shit brings good luck.

Other than Ben the photographer didn't like Perry, Ronnie and Shannon too much. Ronnie was too stiff, Perry had a tendency of being too severe and Shannon was "too dead", pretending to be dead. Shannon really sucked. She lay/ stood there, bored as hell, so one could think she actually really is a dead corpse. But that was not the task. Ronnie also didn't like Shannons overall performance, but analyzing every little fart she did he almost got a little annoying to me.

Getting to dinner the first course was turtle soup. I would've rejected it and so did Perry because he owns a turtle, but Holly didn't seem to understand how one could reject turtle soup. "We kill squirrels in our house. We make squirrel gravy. Okay?" Oooh, you dirty country tomboy. Wonder if you can combine squirrel gravy with fried pig feet. Delicious.

Next day the remaining 5 models were taken to some property where hurricane Katrina had destroyed everything. And being able to use their model status for a good cause the task was to help to build a home for Sherry, who had lost everything. I mean, that's a great tragedy and a good cause and all that but my man Ben wearing some loincloth that said "Help build!" working his hammer and creating a house out of wood wearing that tight little shirt... I am still breathing into my paper bag.

For the runway they had to choreograph an own dark and dramatic show. Shannon came up with the idea of "being a high priestess and everybody wanting to kill each other." I'd say it got a little weird. This guy who had been on the "Meet the Models"- Show whose name I can't remember got the point: "People don't do shows like that anymore." The show looked kinda awkward and the plastic skull didn't help it at all, but at least Ben seemed to have found "his thing."

Cory told Ben that he did "really really well", his "stiffness worked out to his advantage this time" and for the first time they really saw versatility in Bens face and so Ben was safe for this week. But again he didn't win because of squirrel killing eager beaver Holly. I'm annoyed by those girls. Shannon and Ronnie are up for the vote and I just hope that Americas sees Shannon as the bitter party pooper I see her.

Get that Shannon out! And no Adnan next week. Puh- leeeeze.
