I sure did enjoy Stacie Ponder's Top Model recap over at afterellen, but nothing will ever top Potes's recaps at Television Without Pity, I'm afraid. (Dan Blau's recaps of the earliest cycles are not to be missed either.)
I mean, she makes references to mythology:
"Tyra tries, as she does at the beginning of every L.A. season, to convince us that L.A. is the epicenter of the fashion world, because it is where she sprung fully formed from her own giant forehead. In the beginning was the forehead."
She's topical!
"Hannah will only become interesting if it turns out she is Bristol Palin in disguise. I bet you didn't know the McCain campaign was pro-fierce, did you?"
And she conjures an image of Tyra as Augustus Gloop:
"The body scan room looks a lot like the room where Mike TeeVee was miniaturized in the original Willy Wonka. You know that Tyra is already stuck in a chocolate extraction pipe somewhere on the premises."
Could anything be more perfect? Just in case you think Stacie has the edge because she writes for a gay website, Potes is also a lesbian. Boo-yah.
And as a bonus, she throws in a reference to a sitcom I thought only I had ever watched:
"This may be Tyra's finest acting performance ever, and she's clearly taken inspiration from reruns of Small Wonder."
