laissez-faire
Did my ears deceive me, or did Tyra really say Amis had a laissez-faire attitude about the photoshoot?

I'm totally excited about Top Chef as well, but yikes—I tried reading those bios on their Web site. Not a good idea—there's at least one typo in each one. Bravo needs an editor, man.

thanks guys. I'm pretty excited for the mocking behind my back to start.

Platinum
Dammit. I keep putting off this desire to dye my hair platinum, but it's cut like Claire's, so now I feel like people will think I'm copying.

Carly's pants
I like 'em. Call me nostalgic for times I've never experienced, but this high-waisted thing is making me wish I were anorexic.

Noriega/Castro AI conspiracy
Is it funny that there is a Noriega and a Castro in the same competition?

N/A for sure
Your review was much more entertaining than this…uhhh…episode.

Boring chicks.
Amy Davis: Paula said the camera loved her. I thought she looked like an elf with a dollop of poo on her head.

Nope. Just for food.

Playskool forgot
…to promise that your kids will be sick of it after 10 days. Ugh. $300? Go read a book, kid.

Numb buns
I agree with your write-up as a whole, but:

Vests! Did you see how David Cook's "Friend" in the audience was also doing a t-shirt/vest combo? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Best Ever Hater
Solely for that last suggestion. That's fully going into regular rotation in my lexicon (perhaps only because I'm so sick of people saying "jumped the shark").

I still vote for Elisa.

Yeah, I think it's red-headed pre-Sanjaya kid, but dorkier and more likable. He was just so earnest! His "Thanks, Sah-mon!" was the best.

We reversed the DVR a few times to watch her jump. It was definitely a gun.

Agreeing with Simon
How could your face not break into a giant smile when Kyle was on the screen? I think debate-boy would've done alright with America. I'm sad about it.

Vomit
I plan to do my own take on the schizophrenia look by combining elements of all the other looks. It's going to be so fierce. Wait till you see my oversized shoulderless ski patrol doll collection. It'll turn you asexual.

Models
Marie was my favorite one—is she automatically eliminated because Kit is gone? If so: lame.

Aw-shucks-cowboy
Real or not, I enjoyed him. I've decided to add "whaddya know about that?" to my regular phrase rotation.
