Um, Hey Tyra, what’s good with you and the black models this cycle of America’s Next Top Model? LOL. I just realized that out of the last 4 eliminations since the cycle started, 4 of the girls to be eliminated were black! If you watched last night then you know that they did a double elimination. One model (Hannah) was eliminated after being deemed the worst performer in a reward challenge. That wasn’t a panel elimination so I’m not counting her. Unfortunately Isis was also cut last night. It was probably her time though.

I really think that they used her to make some kind of statement or to attract interest in the show. There was no way that they would have ever picked a transsexual as the winner. CoverGirl’s not going for that! I’m also happy that Hannah got the boot. I couldn’t take much more of her small town views. She was just so ignorant. I really don’t care who wins this cycle as long as it’s Sheena. LOL. If she gets kicked off I’ll stop watching because I have no interest in the other girls.

I think it’s really cool how a company can come up with a slogan for their product that can help you remember the product even when you’re not thinking about it. I think sometimes companies come up with commercials and campaigns that are so funny that you forget what the product is and only remember the commercial. I can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Sometimes I’ll be talking with my friends and I’ll mention a commercial that was so funny. We’ll go back and forth performing the whole commercial and then when we try to remember what product the commercial was for we draw a complete blank. LOL. That’s not good. If you’re smart you’ll create a campaign or slogan that makes the person remember your company. For instance, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten dressed up in a nice outfit and recited the phrase “Like my body? It’s Trimspa baby!!” LOL. That’s unforgettable!

Soooo, America’s Next Top Model is back, huh! OK, I know that but I just don’t care this time around. It’s so funny to me that the media has been making such a big deal about Top Model having a transsexual contestant but that doesn’t seem to be translating into interest for the viewers. Maybe everyone is like me and realizes that we can watch what we really want to watch on Wednesday nights and just catch  America’s Next Top Model the next day on Youtube. Whatever the case, ratings this season are the lowest they’ve been in years. Probably since Cycle 1.

I really think people are just tired of the show. I still find it pretty entertaining but these girls bore me. I haven’t really cared about the contestants at all in the last few seasons. Even though I was entertained with the drama and loved the photo shoots I didn’t really connect with any of the girls. I really think Tyra should end the series soon. I will probably miss it once it’s gone but to be honest I don’t really watch it now. If adding a transsexual can’t make people interested, what next? Hmmm many I’ll stick around and find out!

I had this entry saved from the other day and totally forgot to post it so I’m going to post it now. LOL. I don’t know why I never posted it. It’s from last week. SMH…

08-28-08 I woke up this morning with a major migraine. I had a really great night last night though. I pretty much watched the Democratic National Convention and the shows that followed on BET with my best. We really enjoyed it. I was enjoying the whole experience until Barack came out and I started crying like a little baby. I just really love that man. I always have. There’s just something about him. My best kept asking me “why are you crying” and I’m like “Dude, do you understand the gravity of this moment!!!”…. “Plus he’s so hot!” LOL. I really pray for Barack Obama. I pray that God gives him the strength and ability to lead this country in a new direction and that this country supports him in doing so.
