SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV
We're so pleased to have some locals to root for in reality TV this season. Here's the first of what we hope are several weeks worth of updates on how those locals are fairing. So far, they're all still in the running towards becoming America's next amazing race war model!
Unfortunately, we didn't know last Sunday that we'd be writing this post, so we didn't take any notes during the premiere of "The Amazing Race." We can tell you that local brothers Erwin and Godwin made some pretty boneheaded moves, beginning with their bringing water pistols into an airport. They came very close to getting eliminated at the super secret non-pit stop elimination point, but did manage to gain some places in the second part of the leg. We promise to pay more attention this week.
Over on "America's Next Top Model" Megan, the 23 year old bartender, had a tragic story to tell about the death of her mother. When Megan was nine, they were in a plane crash, and ended up stranded in a frozen field. Megan's mother sheltered her with her body, saving Megan's life. Her mother ended up dying of hypothermia. Whoa.
Now, go pose! Pose fierce, girl!
After the photo shoot, the judges compared her to Kim, since they both have short hair and an androgynous look. (And that's not the only thing the two have in common!) So far we like Megan; she's got some issues with skin tone and a slightly piggy nose, but there's no reason to root against her yet.
Melrose, on the other hand, is hard NOT to dislike. She's a 23 year old fashion designer, and insisted she could bring "rock and roll" to the competition. That mainly consisted of her gyrating uncomfortably during the audition and a runway competition (which she ended up winning) while her diva ways during the photo shoot almost got her booted; (Tyra eventually did hand that last photo to her). She also bitched at all the girls for being slobs. SOOO rock and roll!
Much more rock and roll was A.J. from Sacramento, sporting alabaster skin and jet black hair. She also survived cervical cancer, and we think that's pretty damn rock and roll. Too bad she doesn't seem to have the self-confidence needed for the competition (although, come on, we all know a lot of beautiful women have low self-esteem. We think the judges should have laid off of that).
Finally, on "Survivor: The Amazing Racist," Yul caught two chickens, and, along with his tribemates, wasn't too happy with Coi Boi's racial jokes. After winning the immunity challenge, Yul was chosen by the losing team to go to Exile Island, where he actually figured out the clue and uncovered the coveted immunity idol! We'll have to wait and see how long he keeps the possession of the idol a secret, but it's certainly a powerful weapon to have. Go Yul! And please promise us you'll remain shirtless for the rest of the season!
Over on the Hispanic team, Cecilia went along with her tribemates and their plan to throw the challenge so they could get rid of Billy, AKA "The Load," at tribal council. She had some qualms about the plan, as she should. It's a pretty stupid move to voluntarily lose a person this early in the game, no matter how lazy he might be. But then again, when Billy started talking about how he and Candice, someone on the honky team, had had a moment of love at first sight during the last challenge, one started to get the impression they had actually done the right thing and gotten rid of a total nutcase.
Alas, not much more can be said about Cecilia this week, aside that she, and all the other reality locals, are still around. Woo! See you next week!
