An Aussie geek stuck in Texas

Well UPN over the last two weeks somehow popped up the website for the new series (I thought they were still casting or is that for cycle 6?), you can visit it here. The big news is the series premieres with a 2 hour extravaganza on September 21st!

But don’t you think Kim looks a little boyish?

Adrianne Curry, the first winner on America’s Next Top Model, as the show’s “rack girl.” The job requires her to dress well and never get too far out of camera range. Of course, we’re talking about someone whose brief biography includes appearances on The Surreal Life and “a new series in which the focus is her real-life romance with former The Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight.”

From a modelling contract to a rack girl on a b-grade TV show based on an amateur pool and a reality TV show based on her romance with a former Brady Bunch star? How exactly does that happen?

I’m glad I’m not the only male that is left watching all those sitcom reruns.

Autobots transform and roll out!

Chi-chi-chi-chi-ch-ule!

(If anyone has a better textual representation of the noise then please share!)

They better not stuff this one up and it better be based on the original series & not that next generation crap.

Me Grimlock laugh at small creature who make big problems!

I see that I have gotten a few hits from people searching for Abby’s playlist from Blade Trinity and ending up here from my del.icio.us links so seeing how that link is about to cycle out of the top 10 I thought I should post the link here:

*Does a little happy dance* That woman was just getting annoying, for a while she was funny but she overstayed her welcome, hopefully her replacement Twiggy adds some spice to the judging panel.

Also all you diva wannabes well be pleased to know that Jay Alexander will now be a permanent member of the juding panel, now that should be interesting!

I was just trying to get the scoop on America’s Next Top Model - Cycle 5 to win some brownie points with my girlfriend and came across the application, so out of curiosity I was reading the eligibility requirements and was dissappointed to see:

7. You must be at least five feet and seven inches (5′7″) in height

I thought that was a bit discriminating as that would probably rule out the majority of girls, I know I’ve certainly seen girls shorter than that who deserve to be models. Although luckily my girlfriend does qualify but I don’t think I’d be able to encourage her to apply even though she really does belong there.

Unfortunately however, casting is only being conducted during July & August so you are going to have to wait until October some time, which is when the filming starts so it could well be later than that.

I haven’t really been following the bid at all and only discovered this while following the news about the London explosions but London has surprisingly beaten New York and will host the 2012 olympics.

Now I wonder if the final episode of The Apprentice where Tana made a bit of a mess out of organizing the mini olympics for some elite atheletes in NY to promote the bid had anything to do with losing the bid? Probably not but it’s fun to speculate.
