"Top models... are like fossil fuels..."

"... don't burn through the models... because pretty soon, before you know it, models are going to be, like, $150 a barrel..."

Maybe the BMW pre-owned show-room has a couple of used Heidi's?; 3/31/08, 3:42 PM

Check out how Paulina Porizkdskova dresses down this platoon of model wannabes!; 3/31/08, 4:08 PM

Not only are most the contestants not that attractive--the two commentators are far better looking--many are downright ugly. Most of these will never be working models let alone top models.

I suspect that's part of the popularity of the show; so many viewers can say "hey, I'm better looking than these idiots."; 3/31/08, 4:55 PM

I didn't know those barrels full of models would become so valuable someday.

I should look at it as less of a hobby and more of an investment.; 3/31/08, 5:20 PM

Fun little piece.; 3/31/08, 5:24 PM

"ANTM: Paulina Porizkova Is Like A More Lucid Janice Dickinson"

"More Lucid Janice Dickinson"?... surely that's an oxymoronic statement, a reverse tautology, a non-possibility, like taking the "vanilla" out of "vanilla ice cream"...

Okay, fine, I was just annoyed that someone compared the elegant Porizkova with the shambling, garish train wreck that is Dickinson and wanted to rip...; 3/31/08, 11:30 PM
