This week's model/fashion reality shows reminded us of two things. One--Good looking actors can do modeling, but good-looking models don't necessarily make for good actors. Two---sex sells whether it's for a photoshoot or whether it's for a show about models.

  Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and Project Runway both had their highlights this week, but it was Make Me A Super Model that had the highest percentage of sexually-charged moments. And the show has improved so much that it has become one of those "can't wait to tell someone else all about it" programs. Yep, it's good.

  First those highlights of the OTHER shows. On Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency it was all about PETA.  Janice has become an animal rights activist and announces she is a fur-free agency. As part of this she and all but one of her models (whom we don't think quite understood the dilemma) strip to their underwear and take to the streets of Hollywood to demonstrate for PETA.  Surprisingly bad boy Kehoe took the most radical stance by stripping down nude (nice ass by the way!). Fortunately he wasn't arrested. Oh yes and there's trouble ahead--next week, Janice's troubles with her partner reach a head.

 On Project Runway, Levi's turned the show on its ear with a game changing challenge. The designers were given free rein to grab all they could at a dockside Levi's warehouse and create a new look. Christian was riding a creative wave and conjured up a biker chick ensemble where the pants were used to make a jacket and a jacket was made into pants. The shift in momentum came when Rami created a chic outfit without draping, Sweet P avoided technical flubs to make a multi-colored modern piece, and crybaby Ricky FINALLY grew some creative balls and created a sleeveless dress with a button fly front. While the Levi's rep seemed to lean towards Christian it was a shocker on the runway--RICKY WON!  On the low end of the scale, Chris created a technically lacking and somewhat standard cocktail dress while Victorya and Jillian both went for a trench coat design. The uninspired results sent them to the bottom two and it was Victorya who was ousted. It all made us rethink our predictions. We still think that Rami and Christian will be in the finals. They've both been to the edge of the cliff and to the top of the mountain, and hopefully have learned from their errors. Sweet P has avoided elimination by being non-defensive at the judge's table, but both she and Chris don't seem to have found their groove. Jillian has attitude and it seems to reflect in her designs. Poor Ricky has either made a breakthrough or his win was a fluke. Next week the designers are supposed to make outfits for female wrestlers---bring out the tacky!

 Then there's Make Me A Super Model which continues to get a groove going. This episode was all about sex and acting and pretty eye opening.  First, it wasn't a surprise to see cranky Dominic go and it made us happy that Ben
was spared so that Ronnie could continue to gaze longingly into his eyes. Ben, for his part, was the subject of speculation as to whether he might be able to be turned--at least temporarily. He certainly likes the attention from our fave gay guy Ronnie. And their playful physical behavior during the show was awesome. Can you think of one straight guy who's comfortable having a gay man rub his chest and tweak his nipples? We hope our guy doesn't get his heart broken.  
      
                                   Ben and Katy finally do well--but who was Ben thinking of?

A photographer specializing in sexually provocative layouts broke the models down into couples with surprising and not so surprising results. The couples were put into skimpy underwear in bed---looking as though they were getting it on. Our Ronnie had his scene with masculine Shannon and they wowed the photographer. He did the best acting since he had to be straight for this shot. We think we knew who he was fantasizing about--he almost got a hardon! The same with the two male/male and female/female couples. Casey and Perry were teamed and acted pretty humpy together. Ok--VERY humpy.  Jackie and Stephanie steeped up too as did Ben (FINALLY)and Katy.

 The deadbeats were Frankie and Holly and Jay and Aryn. Frankie tried bu there as just to much animosity between him and Holly. We have a dilemma here. We think Frankie is a big old closet case but his behavior is pretty unappealing --we would prefer him to be on the other team. Holly is a bit of a whiner and that "but I'm a virgin" excuse is TIRED. Aryn tried too but her bad performance during the models' physical training seemed to deflate her ego. Jay (whom we don't even think should have made the cut in the beginning) is a dud. 
 

 

 For the runway show the same couples dressed in fetish gear with the same results. And this wasn't just any run-of-the-mill fetish gear. Some models really worked it and their spontaneous acting skills again had to come into play. The two guys wound up wowing the judges more and Perry won overall but we think they should have given it to Ronnie. Poor Ben just can't seem to loosen up on that catwalk. But fortunately his good photoshoot saved him. If he's this uptight, maybe it's time he followed that old song lyric "free your mind, and the rest will follow". The bottom three this week are Jay, Aryn, and Holly. It'll be interesting to see if the ladies' tears will get them audience sympathy. We doubt it.

 The REAL suspense really lies in how much of a chance Ronnie and Ben have--with each other.
