I really liked Kevin during his stint on Project Runway. His designs were consistently good and I think his Banana Republic dress should have won. It was gorgeous! It was really unfair to kick him off after making him be a team leader. If leadership was such a big factor, everybody should have been made a team leader at some point. His quiet wit made his confessionals amusing and I liked that he was more understated than a lot of the CRAZY contestants on the show. Also, I'm pretty sure he's the one that drew a moustache on Wendy Pepper's daughter which, while mean, is pretty hilarious (I would have done the same thing).

There's no question that Wendy Pepper's designs were "dowdy" at best. Tim tried to warn her, but she made the same mistake over and over. She probably shouldn't have made it to the final three. And yet, there's something that makes me really...

There's no question that Wendy Pepper's designs were "dowdy" at best. Tim tried to warn her, but she made the same mistake over and over. She probably shouldn't have made it to the final three. And yet, there's something that makes me really love Wendy Pepper. Maybe it's the fact that she became hated for pretty much no reason at all. Maybe it's because of her outlandish blonde hair streak or her wacky blue eyeshadow. Every time I see episodes from this season of Project Runway, I get indignant on her behalf all over again. No matter how people feel about her, she makes good reality tv and that's all we can really ask for from contestants on reality shows.

Seriously. Rob's designs for Project Runway were consistently horrible but he somehow made it eight eliminations before he met his maker (and by maker, I mean Heidi Klum). I suppose he just kept getting lucky because other people's designs (for example, Star's jester dress) were slightly worse than his. He really should have gotten kicked off the show just for having those ridiculous cornrows. Barring that, he should have been kicked off after splitting his head open on one of his various drinking binges. Thank gosh he got kicked off before the final three. If I was forced to see an entire collection of his ridiculous designs, I might have done something crazy.

I simply adored Heidi Klum as the host in the first season of Project Runway. Her charming accent and lovely, glowing face were always a positive part of this fantastic show. Unfortunately, however, she seems to be trying really, really hard to hide her accent on the new season of Project Runway. Did some crazy focus group say that the accent should go? If so, this one person focus group says, bring it back! The accent is really what sets her apart from other hosts like Tyra Banks. Although I suppose her crazily enormous baby-belly sets her apart these days too. Pregnant women on reality tv? Now I've seen everything.

Anybody who gives Julie Chen a favorable review on this website is either Julie Chen herself or her husband who is clearly putting their marriage ahead of his job as President and CEO of CBS Television. This relationship makes me suspect that, at least in our lifetimes, we will never see a good Big Brother host. Her husband continually spoils her with choice jobs on CBS television shows and refuses to listen to the overwhelming public outcry against her. I must admit, however, she has reserved a special cult-status place in my heart. I often find myself unable to wait for the next live Big Brother broadcast because of her innevitable screw-ups. I love watching her stutter, ask mundane questions, and dress way too glamorously for her little hut outside the Big Brother house.

Is it just me or did Lluvy majorly get the shaft on America's Next Top Model. She has such striking and beautiful features and was unable to take a good picture. I can't help but blame her unfortunate hair, makeup, and costumes in every single photo shoot. In the first real photo, she was forced to wear a pair of fishnet stockings over her face like some sort of drag queen bank robber. In the next shoot, she looked just fine, I think. But then, in the worst Next Model photo of all time, they decided she should be made up like a fish. To accomplish the illusion, they glued shiny confetti all over her face, wrapped her in a brown net and dangled her from the ceiling. Not even Tyra could have made that look good. And finally, they poured water on her, told her to cuddle with a tire, and put the monster-faced Michelle in the background. If only she had been given more of a chance, she could have made it much further.

Bill Barretta does the voice of Pepe. I originally wanted to write a review of the King Prawn himself, but it turns out that you can't review fictional characters. So this seems to be the next best thing. Bill Barretta's portrayal of the grammatically challenged shellfish is one-of-a-kind. It is adorable without becoming annoying. Hilarious without becoming un-hilarious. Offensive without offending. Bill Barretta is truly the unsung hero behind one of the most overlooked and underrated Muppets of all time. Some people claim that Pepe is not even a "real" Muppet. But, if anybody can prove them wrong (other than Pepe himself), it's my friend Bill.

I can only give Keenyah a score towards the middle of the spectrum and a classification as "Average" because I am so torn. Her virtues are many. She is extremely beautiful, she appeared to be funny, smart (compared to the majority of the other contestants on America's Next Top Model), witty, and nice. Or is she nice? That is where she gets confusing. Something seemed to snap in Keenyah 3/4 of the way through the season and she was no longer the fun-loving and hilarious contestant she once was. Her change, incidentally, coincided with the judges decision that she was gaining too much weight (which is just not true). Could it be that being told you're too fat to be a model might make somebody less friendly and joyous?

Phil is most definitely one of the best reality tv hosts out there today. From his perfectly tousled hair to his super sexy New Zealand accent, it's no wonder teams are so eager to get to the end of each leg. Phil is always there, at the mat (usually with some horribly exploited cultural Other), with a wise word or two for each arriving team. If you've ever seen his online photo album, you will find out that he also has a delightful sense of humor about himself and about the show. The only time Phil faltered was with one of the more psychotic Jonathan and Victoria moments. Even then, though, he managed to eek out the advice that Jonathan might want to check on Victoria. What a guy.

At the beginning of the season I didn't like Brittany. She was loud and annoying in a bad way. Her pictures were average and not getting any better. Eventually, though, she grew on me. Her crazy drunken antics were hilarious and endearing rather than annoying. Her loudness was a welcome change from the other self-censoring models. She took the direction of the judges better than any of the other models in the competition and was able to stop her pictures from looking like pornography. I still have no idea why they kicked her off. Hopefully she's really successful now and wants to be my friend, 'cause that would be really fun.

Michelle is, without a doubt, the most unattractive America's Next Top Model to date. What on earth would possess them to put her on the show? Was it some sort of cruel joke on the viewers? Two Michelle highlights (or lowlights you might say):
1. When the models were in the store room of a shoe store Michelle had a nervous breakdown at the prospect of being crushed between two of the moveable rows of shoes. This was one of the major signs of her mental instability.
2. She is so hideous that partway through the season her skin attempted to make a break for it. It couldn't deal with being attached to her crazy face and it tried to peel itself off. And it still took a couple of weeks for her to get kicked off!

What were they thinking when they eliminated Brita first? They were thinking that she looked too old and too fat. How could they think that? They're crazy! Brita is one of the most attractive contestants to ever compete on America's Next Top Model. She was sweet, funny, and interesting to boot. Speaking of which, she was booted by the team of (obviously cracked out) judges after stumpy, chub-master Nole Marin called her fat. Janice claimed Brita was too old to be a model but guessed Brita was much younger before she knew the truth. Some things in the universe will always remain mysteries, I guess.

Kahlen has been one of the few America's Next Top Model contestants who actually possesses any intelligence at all. Her confessional comments were generally hilarious and perceptive and I wish they had shown more of her. And furthermore, she made it through a photo shoot lying in a grave immediately after finding out that a friend died. She often had no idea what she was doing and managed to do it better than most of the other contestants which probably annoyed them, but I found it quite endearing. Most importantly, though, listening to her intelligent comments was a welcome change from hearing the winner's (Naima's) idiotic voice and her pointless, boring comments. Hooray for Kahlen!

Nigel Barker often disappears in the shadows of America's Next Top Models' more outspoken jury members (meaning Tyra and Miss Jay, and - until the current season - Janice and Nole), but I think he might just be the most reasonable one of them all. His opinions are sometimes controversial, but one can usually find at least a little bit of truth in them. He tells it how it is without being condescending like Tyra. He says amusing things about the girls' flaws without being completely mean like Janice. He is nice to look at unlike Miss Jay and Nole. And I think we can all agree that he is more dynamic than Twiggy. But that's another story. In conclusion, keep it up, Nigel.

It is hard to overstate the level of Rory's idiocy on Survivor. He always kept his sunny side up, saw the silver lining behind every cloud, carried a big stick, remembered the Alamo, went the extra mile, and kept the home fires burning. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he used more cliches and idioms than anybody should use in their entire lifetime. As an avid Survivor viewer, I found myself hoping that he would be eliminated and I was more relieved than a bear finding a picnic sight when him and his moronic figurative language were FINALLY voted off.

People who idolize Joyce and her partner Uchenna are obviously forgetting that they are simply a watered-down version of past contestants Chip and Kim. Sure, they're nice... But where's the edge? The answer is -- not there. Although this team has been applauded for being honest and virtuous, I think they were not smart enough to be anything else. Everybody with half a brain wanted Rob and Amber to beat their pants off because, unlike this boring and bland couple, Rob and Amber actually played the game and helped make the race entertaining. And furthermore, as a couple having trouble conceiving a child, how did it take them a visit to an orphanage to realize that they should consider ADOPTION! That should be the first thing they thought of and it is a much nobler thing to do with their money than going to a fertilization specialist.

Rob is not just one of the all time greats. He is the all time great. Every time he competes on a Reality TV programme, he controls the game from start to finish. Despite his dopey sounding accent, he is the most brilliant Reality TV contestant in the history of Reality TV. Although some mock him for having so many chances at winning millions of dollars and always losing, he has definitely won in my heart. The best thing about Rob is that his opponents always know that he is out to get them and they constantly try to foil him but end up playing right into his schemes unknowingly. If only he wasn\'t married to the most boring person ever...
