Ronnie Kroell: Supermodel Superstar

If you watched last Thursday's episode of Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel you noticed that we here at AfterElton.com are not the only ones who are smitten for that kitten Ronnie Kroell. After a makeover that gave him a James Dean pompadour and a photo shoot that hiked his junk to the sky, Ronnie seems to be making a lasting impression on everyone and is quickly becoming the golden boy of Supermodel.

After only two episodes much of the show's focus has shifted to gay contestant Kroell and thankfully it's not to make a mockery of his sexuality or to vilify him as the bitchy gay character. His good looks, modeling versatility, and the bond he's formed with fellow contestant Prison Ben have taken center stage as the show gets a little more personal.

In the house it's no secret that Ronnie has developed a school boy crush on the very straight (and very married) Prison Ben. But in a strange twist of fate, Prison Ben's developed a man crush on Ronnie as well! How hot is that? Not only are they roommates and friends but each thinks that the other is their greatest competition and the Judges are starting to take note.

After the Heatherette runway challenge Tyson inquired about the bromance and while there were snickers amongst some of the contestants it actually turned out to be a really cute moment between the two boys. I heart that Ronnie's adorably shy and that he gets all embarrassed at being called out. More importantly though, I squee with delight that he's winning over the hearts of the judges and the professionals on the show.

In honor of his budding success I thought I'd share this hysterically tacky video I found online featuring a somewhat younger version of Ronnie hawking wares for a midwest chain called Ragstock. Enjoy!
