Reality TV: Who Made the Cut

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, there you have Sanjaya crooning about bathing in his ex-lover's bathwater while sporting a pony-hawk. It's ridiculous that Americans (me included) are so fascinated with this kid. I think that the wow factor is born out of disbelief that Sanjaya has established such celebrity for himself. He'll do fine whether he stays in the competition or gets sent home. I bet he ends up with his own reality show. There won't be words, or even a script. Simply Sanjaya and his many hair-do's. Looking at Sanjaya one wonders if he knows something that we don't.

It should come as no surprise that Heather Mills made the cut in her competition and will continue to wow us with her one leg.

And, to cap it off, America's Next Top Model is a little bit lighter as they sent one of their two plus sized models packing. Diana was a cute girl and all but she was so self conscious about her weight and took no pride in being the big chicken in the hen house. Whitney, the other plus sized model in the house was always making an effort to boost Diana's self esteem. I thought she focused too much time trying to keep Diana in the game and last night that lack of personal focus almost did her in as she was in the bottom two with Diana. Whitney does not look like a model to me but she carries herself with a lot of confidence and in a weight conscious world, it's refreshing to see someone love themselves despite the fact that they don't necessarily fit the mold. Hey, I think I just figured out Sanjaya's wow factor. He loves himself in spite of the fact that no one quite gets him.
