Hoes Before Bros: The Make Me a Supermodel Finale

Last night's finale of Make Me a Supermodel brought tears, joy, sadness, and an odd sense of... justice? Yes indeedy. For the duration of the Bravo competition series, the boys have dominated, not because they were better models per se, but because the show's viewer and voting base is (I'm assuming) largely made up of women and gays. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that a dude would win, most likely spunky gay Chicagoan Ronnie. Sexy but bratty prison guard Ben was also a possibility, but it definitely would not be that thing with a bagina, Holly. But! Before we get to the ending, let's go to the middle. More »

Latest by SeriesOfTubes: This show did a MUCH better job of creating actual soap opera/melodrama than the stank that Top Model has become while trying way too hard to do that. I am seriously upset that I won't get to see what happens more »

How To Be a "Good Gay"

On the Make Me a Supermodel reunion last night, beloved non-couple Ronnie and Ben (apparently they're called "Bronnie?" I refuse to accept this) were interrogated about their "will they or won't they, oh they're totally not going to" relationship, to the squiggly embarrassment of the show's two viewers (me and roommate Rose). Yes, gay Ronnie did have a crush on straight prison guard (and increasingly petulant asshole) Ben, but it faded away very quickly. He falls in love all the time! With boys on the street, with ski bunnies, with anyone! According to reunion host (and gay Bravo TV exec) Andy Cohen, this wandering eye, puppy love stuff makes giddy little Ronnie "a good gay." Ugh. Maybe true! But, ugh. A video excerpt of the awkward, squirmy reunion after the jump (watch the first minute and a half or so for the Bronnie stuff). Oh! Also a fun bonus video. More »

Oh My! How gay is our new favorite competition show Make Me a Supermodel? Here are some photos of some of the boys (1 gay, 2 "straight") playing around with a banana. Sadly, the prison guard was not included. [AfterElton]

Supermodels In Lurve

Bravo's newest competition show, Make Me a Supermodel, has been strangely intriguing since its premiere a month ago. Most of the credit is owed to the delightfully awkward and (hopefully!) budding relationship between Ben, the 22-year-old prison guard from Tennessee with the sad, pondering eyes and Ronnie, the out loud and proud "spunky!" blond guy from Chicago. Ben is married to a woman back home, but that hasn't stopped Ronnie from making many an overture about his love for the deputy sheriff. Ben doesn't exactly fend off his roommate's advances. They've already been shown snuggling (with the recently ousted girl-model Aryn) and sort-of kissing. Click the thumb for a clip from last night's episode, where they bond and share and continue to tumble into love. These are the joys of living vicariously, friends. Swoon!/Barf.
