Liveblogging "Make Me a Supermodel" Finale: Will Gay Ronnie Get Crowned?
Tonight's the night! Tonight we will find out whether our model-mo Ronnie Kroell will walk away with the title of "Supermodel." Over the last 14 weeks we've grown to love Ronnie's honesty, determination, kindness, (and abs) but who are we kidding? We voted to keep the hope alive that just once we'd get to see Ronnie and Prison Ben make out. We have exactly 60 minutes for it to happen and I'm not ruling anything out before Ben's wife walks in the door and slaps Ronnie into next Tuesday. Don't be a dream stealer, it could happen. While I truly, madly, deeply believe that either Perry or Holly should win tonight, I do not discredit the power of the people and the people love them some Bronnie! As the cliche goes, this really is anyone's game. Tonight either Ronnie Kroell, Prison Ben, Perry Ullmann or Holly Kiser will win a buttload of prizes and the honor of calling themself a Supermodel. Let's find out who won shall we? Welcome to the final liveblog for Season 1 of Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel!
11:00PM EST: HOLLY KISER IS A SUPERMODEL! Ronnie handled that loss with grace and style. I wish the confetti guns where in my living room, they would reflect the tears streaming down my face beautifully. I can't say that I'm surprised... at least not completely surprised. I thought for a minute there that Ronnie had the win. I could totes see him walking away with the title because not only has he been a Judges favorite, he really had a huge internet following behind him. What do you guys think? Did the right model win? Did Ronnie get screwed? Will we see more of Ronnie in the near future because its just a matter of time before he nabs some huge campaign? Chat about it in the comments section.
10:58PM EST: The tension is killing me. I need a pill.
10:55PM EST: Corey Bautista is making the Final 4 into the final monologue of The Breakfast Club with his descriptions of each. OMG, they're going to announce the winner. Please don't pull a Seacrest. Tyson just told Perry that he cannot be made a Supermodel. Seriously? Quit snickering at home... Tyson's about to crush the Bromance. Sweet lord, Prison Ben is out! That leaves Ronnie and Holly! Could they draw this out longer? Pull the band-aid already! Pull it! Holly and Ronnie are about to pass out. Get to it Niki! Aargh, a commercial break...
10:50PM EST: Catwalk! Prison Ben is the first one out and I'm screaming at my television for him to show some personality! That silver D&G suit us stunning. I don't even mind those cowboy boots. Perry looks like a Leprechaun, I'm sorry but it's true.
Holly's had the best luck with wigs this season, her hair tonight is a Diana Ross masterpiece. Tinanana! Ronnie's suit is amazing but he's got way too much makeup on. Don't you think? He looks like a hooker.
10:47PM EST: Bronnie are looking back on the past 3 months and realizing that come morning, the only way Ronnie will be sleeping with Ben is if they're both sleeping with the fishes. The models are packed and off to their finale catwalk assignement. This is it folks, we're just minutes away from finding out who will be made into a Supermodel.
10:45PM EST: How are they going to have a final runway show and announce the winner before Showgirls takes the stage? I'm torn on whether to watch Step It Up and Dance. I'm so tired right now that it may have to be recorded.
10:35PM EST: I know Ronnie's not trash-talking the reaction Ben gave his wife April. She's got a machete in that purse, mark my words. Wait a minute, she's all down with the Bromance and wants a Bronnie shirt though you can tell she's a little upset with him. Quote of the night: "April, meet my other half" immediately followed by "Awkward!" Ya think?
Ronnie's Mom Charlene is at the door! Gadorable! Charlene's first words to April, "we have to talk" love that woman! Um, stop the presses because Holly's damn sexy man Ray is in the hizzy! Seriously, why isn't he on the show?
Perry's so anxious to see if Amanda walks through the door and ding-dong there's the witch! We could use Ronnie right now for a good "awkward"! What's with that hideous jacket she's wearing? I'm almost certain its the same one Britney was hauled off in the ambulance in. I'm just sayin'. He's not wasting time, getting right into the trust issues and she's all about avoidance. She's a little bit Shawnee Smith in Summer School no? I'm so disappointed that Perry is being so understanding and Dr. Phil. Booo, I wanted some glass breaking, hair pulling, and maybe even decapitation. The other models are chatting with their loved ones and its interesting to see that Ray and April are willing to move to NYC if that's what it takes. I'm starting to think of Ben's April as Charlie (Henry's ex on Ugly Betty). It's going to end hideously and she won't even have being Jayma Mays to fall back on... The loved ones have now left and it's hug time. I'm going to throw up while the commercial break plays out.
10:27PM EST: Niki's back and why isn't this a 2 hour episode? It's going way too fast. The models are now off to Conde Nast's offices to be briefed on the GQ gig that the winner walks a way with. Boring, the models are being fitted for the shoot. I thought there would be much more skin, this is outrageous! Ronnie's told he should be a Ralph Lauren model and finally we got some skin. GQ just pointed out his Blue Steel facail expression while posing. That's twice tonight he's been called out for having the same dead look. Aargh, pull it together Ronnie. GQ hearts Prison Ben but is worried that his personality will translate on camera. Believe me GQ, he's got a built in fanbase, you won't be disappointed. Looks like they're wanting Perry (as long as he gets a haircut - amen sistas) Surprise Time - Ben's wife is at the door. In the shadows behind her I swear I saw Ronnie jump out the window and sprint down the street like he's in 10 to Midnight! Damn commercial break.
10:20PM EST: And we're back... The models are off to meet Jennifer Starr again. She's a star tonight. Supermodel Jessica Stam who's Diorgeous! Holly's trying hard not to be Single White Female but that haircut is a little Bridget Fonda/Jennifer Jason Leigh so there's no telling if she might try to kill Stam before the nights out.
*This just in: Tomorrow morning at 8:00am EST there's a Make Me a Supermodel UK Marathon! Rachel Hunter is the host and I'm cursing having to work.
10:10PM EST: I'm still a little shell shocked that this is the end of MMSM! I've really loved this show all season long and it's been a blast liveblogging along with all of you. Can you believe that before the night is out we'll finally have a new Supermodel to torment the less pretty? We started off with Niki heading into the loft and telling everyone that there's one last job. It's Go-See's Time! I'm having Top Model flashbacks. Someone's going to forget the language or lose their cab. I hope they don't screw one of these models in the process. Judge Jennifer Starr is sitting at Esprit waiting for Prison Ben. Have I mentioned that I heart Jennifer Starr? She's one sexy beast. Prison Ben heads over to the underwear boys at Ginch Gonch where he's copping an attitude because he didn't want to be their monkey... literally. The GG boys are not loving him. Perry's finally making his way to People's Revolution and until he mentioned that his portfolio is "pre-hair" I couldn't quite put my finger on his recent fugliness. Bingo. Get a razor buddy. Second it's a photoshoot for Perry where the photographer thinks he's quite the arrogant ass. Apparently she's watched the show. Ronnie's over at Rebecca Beenson where he needs to be sassy and full of attitude. Sounds like a job for Perry. Ronnie's first outfit is hideous but his second one is pretty damn sexy. Who's the little mole man calling Ronnie out on his catwalk? Ronnie's at Ginch Gonch where they ask him if he's comfortable touching other guys. Um, does a bear sh*t in the woods? Holly's working it back at Esprit, she sure did "really good." Her second assignement of the day was at dlove & company where sadly, my southern bumpkin has to shoot a commercial for where she's endlessly saying "Wow, what a difference color can make!" If it was a commercial for squirrel soup, she'd have this thing in the bag. Coming up... the loved ones!
9:59PM EST: Fingers crossed that your favorite wins... (see how diplomatic I was when I really wanted to write)... Fingers crossed that either Perry or Holly kicks Bronnie's well toned butts. I can't hide my favoritism, sorry.
9:45PM EST: This is your last chance to place your bets... Will Ronnie walk away the Submitted by on Thu, 2008-04-03 20:46. |

I'm ready!
Thoughts so far...
Ben's wife needs to understand her definition of "normal" probably no longer applies to Ben.
Ronnie's personality in social situations is so much better than in his shoots and his catwalks. If he had made it translate better, he'd be a lock for the win.
Holly's fiance is very hot. Incredibly hot. Wow.
I wish Perry wasn't so naturally the supermodel, because I really think he's a vain, shallow unlikeable cad.
What I Won't Miss
Ben's catwalk was hawt!
The right man won!
Ronnie is top male ''Supermodel''
America got it right
I'm glad Holly won. She was consistent, took direction well, and overcame fears. She's gorgeous and seems to work really hard. I totally agree with the people at the commercial go-see. "She needs voice lessons." Yeah, and toss in a few acting lessons, too. If she wants to do commercials, that would definitely come in handy.
I usually think women models look much better with long hair, but that short cut on Holly really suits her (reminds me of Christy Turlington during her short hair days).
Anyway, big congrats to Holly and the three male finalists. I hope the three runner-ups get some modeling jobs and keep it up.
darn...
i didn't want holly to win. I thought it was going to be either Ben or Perry.....but as soon as they both were dismissed, i knew it was holly....
My main issue with her was the way she talked. I can't explain it, but she sounded like a cartoon character most of the time. EH.
...plus, she reminds me of a bunny. something about her mouth and the teeth.
OMG
You did NOT reference 10 to Midnight!! How did I miss that last night?! At least we didn't have to watch Holly cook an egg breakfast in real-time while a nude Gene Davis waited in the other room.
I'm gonna miss these liveblogs, for reals. Awesome capper, Dan!
