The theme for Wednesday night's reality shows was clearly insanity. There was Evangelin on Shear Genius (read about her hear), Davis on the Real World, and pretty much everybody on America's Next Top Model.

The craziness starts early when Dionne points out that Brittany had no trouble memorizing her lines during the acting challenge two weeks ago, but then suddenly has short term memory loss for the commercial. Hmm. She has a point. That is a little fishy. In an interview, Dionne says she thinks she's lying and that she always has excuses for everything.

Brittany had no trouble remembering her aria.

Same great recaps, new location! This week's episode of America's Next Top Model was all about how weird and different Jael is — as if we hadn't figured that out already. The editors really don't have to go out of their way to highlight Jael's kookiness. Just look at her outfit as she announces that a new Tyra Mail has arrived.

The Tyra Mail says, "Trust me. Talking to people every day isn't as easy as it looks. -- love Tyra." Well, who else are you going to talk to? For the love of God, people, hire writers for the next cycle!

Much to my delight, there was a new episode of America's Next Top Model this week. It wasn't as drama-packed as last week's pool tossing, smack-down laden affair, but hey, I'll take what I can get. We do get crying moms, bad acting, and a really strange photo shoot, though.

The episode starts off with Whitney saying she didn't expect to be in the bottom two. Really? Cuz I saw that coming miles away. She promises to go into this week's challenge full-throttle. Uh huh. I've heard that before. I'll believe it when I see it.

Renee says she never meant to offend the other girls. Liar. You don't say things like, "I can't wait to have a stimulating conversation," unless you're trying to offend. At any rate, now that she was called out in front of Tyra, she realizes she has to change if she wants a chance of winning. She doesn't come out and say that, but you just know it's what she's thinking. I see right through you, Renee!

It's Wednesday, folks -- and you know what that means. It's elimination time.

I hold one photo in my hands -- the photo of the reader who will still be in the running toward becoming America's ... Next ... Top ... Avatar. But which reader will it be? Will it be the reader who has a super-cute picture but who misspells everything in his comments? Or will it be the reader whose picture might not be "all that", but who has proven comment after comment that he wants to be here?

rpieket.

Congratulations. You're still in the running toward becoming America's Next Top Avatar.

We picked rpieket's avatar because we've honestly never seen a man have that much fun with a porpoise. We are of course assuming that rpieket is the man, not the porpoise. Come to think of it, the porpoise looks like he's having far more fun than the man is having. Why so glum, rpieket? Take a tip from your rubbery, surf-loving friend and enjoy yourself!

The headscarf is contagious

This week's episode of America's Next Top Model was the best in weeks. Maybe the best of the cycle so far. No, really. So many awesome things happened I don't know how I'm going to fit them all into one recap. My wrist is still sore from all the notes I had to take. Jael lays a verbal smackdown on Renee, 50 Cent throws someone in a pool, Nicole Richie starts drama, and Dread Pirate Tyra makes a cameo. What more could you ask for? Well, maybe some sexy half-naked men, but no show is perfect.

The theme song on this show, which Tyra "sings," by the way, is so suggestive. Do I wanna be on top? Well. That's a rather personal question, isn't it?

Last week's photo shoot on America's Next Top Model turned out to be quite controversial. Some women's groups felt the Crime Scene themed photos sexualized and glorified violence against women. Personally, I didn't get that when I was watching, but I can definitely see their point. The show (or CW) took their complaints seriously enough that they pulled the pics from their website.

This week, the shoot was much more lighthearted, with the girls dressing up as guys and a group of drag queens brought in to be the girls. The drag queens were fiercer than the model wannabes, which if you know any drag queens you probably could have predicted. They showed up several of the real girls.

There was plenty of drama, too, with Renee's bitchery reaching new record heights, and Diana continuing to lack personality. This was Natasha's week to shine, though, and the photo shoot was all about her K-Fed impression. She was awesome!
