America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 9: The Girl Who Gets A Mango
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Editorial, Features,
Note to future contestants: If you want to become America’s Next Top Model, it would be advisable to learn something from your time before the judges. Realizing she received a loud wake-up call at the last elimination, Ambreal made a call of her own —to her dad for a little prayer. Hoping to break from her side-profile tendencies, Heather sought posing advice from a surprisingly friendly Bianca. Then there was sour-faced Ebony. Although she felt her personality was far from dry (is that better than having a ‘prickly’ personality like Victoria?), she vowed to smile more for the judges.
Interrupting a lazy day at home, Jenah opened up the front door to welcome a surprise guest. Much to the shaggy-haired model’s dismay, the hunky Tyson Beckford was standing right in front of her. As the news rippled through their pad (Testosterone in the house! Testosterone in the house!), bursts of shrieks and screams could be heard. Once the girls were all quieted down, they all gathered round to listen to whatever he had to say. The world-famous male model was sent by Tyra for a purpose: he was there to give them tips on being a spokesmodel. For their instruction, Tyson asked the ladies to grab any object out of the kitchen. The goal was for them to promote any product thrown their way. Interestingly enough, not only did he not demonstrate his own selling techniques, he apparently told them to sound like phone-sex operators. From popsicles to glasses and mangoes, the ladies pimped their products without any shame…and Tyson loved every minute of it. (I’m sure the CoverGirl reps will appreciate what the future winner ends up bringing to their table.)

Beauty And The Geek: ‘Super Geek’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Comedy, Games, Prime Time, Reality, The CW, Editorial, Features,
It was the Sam and Nicole show once again this week on The CW’s Beauty and the Geek. This week’s episode started with Sam and Nicole’s return from the elimination room after handedly disposing of Katie and Luke. When the man-beauty and lady-geek reappeared to the rest of the teams, there was a decidedly unhappy reaction to their return. Whereas most teams are cheered and hugged, Sam and Nicole awkwardly stood in front of the crowd and smiled and clapped for themselves as they explained how happy they were to return. Sam once again explained how lucky it was that he had spent so much time studying.
Find out who went home this week, which team is slowly imploding and who won the superhero challenge after the jump.

MONDAY (10/22)
**No new episode of Ellen today. She’s still recovering from all the doggy drama**
- Live With Regis and Kelly (ABC, syndicated): Jimmy Kimmel will be pulling double-duty this week as he fills in for Regis Philbin in NY and tapes his show in LA. (I’m guessing we’ll still be seeing him on Dancing With The Stars as well.) If we’re lucky, Guillermo will fill in for Gelman too.
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): The show returns tonight after being preempted by baseball last week. What? You don’t care either?
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): Many fans have been waiting for Kristen Bell’s debut tonight. Unfortunately, she’s one more new character I’ll have to ignore.
