Oh, man, that photo shoot was HOT.

It's too bad Ben's been acting more and more like an annoying douchebag the last few weeks. It's definitely his time to go. When you're up against Casey and Ronnie, both of whom are nicer than you and didn't sulk in the changing room while everybody else was out doing their job, you're screwed.

As for that phone call ... oh, HELL. Perry's a jerk, but that much almost makes me feel sorry for him. Almost.

Dude, you fell for that Perry nonsense? I think he and his gf are attention whores who know how to make good reality drama. Perry is just the type to manipulate the show like this and get attention in the media. I did a google search, and this nonsense about his gf and Britney's ex is all over the gossip rags. Is any other contestant getting that kind of attention?

I think Ben is out of his league, and he knows it. Yet, instead of trying harder he opts out to avoid humiliation or lashes out in anger. He's afraid of failing, so he sabotages himself-- a self-fulfilling prophecy. He's like a kid who desperately wants to do something, but knows he can't, so he says, "Well, I didn't want to do that anyway, and I'm leaving and taking my football with me." He's very immature.

That is a HELL of a long way to go for attention-whoring, though. If it is fake, I'd be hella-impressed. It'd be on Johnny Fairplay levels of reality-TV manipulation, except with fewer fake dead grandmothers. (It doesn't make me want him to win, though. Mostly it just makes me want to send the girlfriend disinfectant for going anywhere near Adnan. EW.)

Perry has managed to demoralize every single one of his rivals except Ronnie, who's too smart for that. He's clearly jockeying for fame in the modeling world, and he wants to break into acting. Perry's a thinker and a manipulator; he'd do anything to succeed.

I know, right! Anyone who'd deal with Adnan has to be a sub-level Hollywood famewhore.

True, but getting his girlfriend's picture taken with Adnan and splashed all over the tabloids seems a little TOO complicated a plan for anybody, much less Perry. The script involved in a plan like this (particularly if you consider the previous phone call would have to have been faked, too) would have to be SO LONG. You'd think part of his plan wouldn't be to act like a total douchebag on a show where the audience picks who goes home.

I don't know - for all of Perry's psychological manhandling, I have a really hard time believing the whole thing's a conspiracy he cooked up to gain attention. Not that it's outside the realm of possibility, BUT. *shrugs*

I still can't believe I remember his name. You'd think I would have replaced it in my brain with something more appropriate, like Walking Ball Of Slime.

Did I mention that I think Perry's the devil? And also creepy and fake? This may be shading my view of his just a tad.

Even Ronnie said on the model diaries feature on the Bravo website that Ben has gotten bitter and whatnot.

I think the Perry thing is just bizarre. FUNNY, but bizarre.

Yeah, I've definitely gone from giving Ben all my votes on the bottom 3 to splitting my votes between Ronnie and Casey.

(Possibly the fact that Ben's been on the bottom 3 SO OFTEN should tell us something.)

I think the judges are shooting themselves in the foot with Casey: he doesn't respond well to punishment. The ordinary pressure of the job, he's clearly fine with, but being told he sucks throws him off for the first challenge every time, and then they wonder why.

On the other hand, their problem with Perry is just the opposite: they think he's too cocky and crazy. Just escaping the vote makes him even more cocky; but when they bottom 3 him he DOES cool it.

Yeah, Ben's got some anger issues and he's annoying me. So I just voted 20 times for Ronnie (because LOVE).

Also, Perry is such an ass, but he's so HOT...so I'm torn because while I wouldn't want to have to deal with him, it helps for modeling if your HOT. (And dude, his girlfriend should have EXPLAINED it to him. WTF?)

Just, while I'll be sad for Ronnie if Ben goes, it's time.
