BJ's Giant Clicker for April 19, 2007


It was the best of hairstyles, it was the worst of hairstyles. Well, maybe not the best, but we sure got our money's worth from Sanjaya. Although none were as bad as Daniel V.'s everyday greasy shag nightmare on "Project Runway," the flat-ironed delight pictured here is virtually tied with the Carrot Top bandana explosion for my least favorites.

Oh, he was there to sing, too? Did anyone really care? His one decent performance wasn't in English, wasn't that great, and was accompanied by the scariest drag king facial hair since that shoot on ANTM a few weeks ago. Will Sanjaya go on to success in the entertainment industry, be assassinated by Fred Phelps-followers, or simply fade into oblivion? I already don't care!


On the other hand, I will truly miss Jael. Although no one could've thought she would win this cycle of ANTM, she brought spirit, style, and spunk unlike the other girls. Yesterday, Tyra said Jael was like an anarchist making fun of Cover Girl. I don't know how accurate that is, but that concept could fuel several weeks of fantastically entertaining episodes.

Jael doesn't have a future in modeling, but neither does anyone else on the show (with the hopeful to me but unlikely exception of Natasha). However, I will always remember her cracked-out brilliance. Also this week, the girls went to Australia and met the delightfully bitchy former host of AusNTM, Erika Heynatz. Erika, luckily, didn't try to sing, but alienated the girls by using such incoherent Aussie slang as "knackered." The photo shoot was a Cover Girl commercial where the girls were supposed to fake Australian accents. It was a disaster, and not as amusing as it should've been. Renee and Natasha sucked the least, but everyone else sucked a whole lot. Jaslene is somehow getting uglier by the week, Dionne is played out, and I'm fully supporting Natasha (who also won a challenge with the reward of being a correspondent for an episode of Tyra's daytime show!).
