How Precious

Okay, I'm having a lot of irritation with Brit. I really don't understand what exactly she thought being a model meant. She whines about something every time she goes on a casting. And when she's on her photo shoots, she wants to do weird things like wear a bra under a swimsuit. If she ever does a lingerie shoot, she'll probably request a t-shirt to wear under the bra. She cried to her mom on the phone that in one photo shoot it looked like she was topless. Looked like she was topless. So she wasn’t topless? Obviously her boobs didn’t show because we know that she would burst into flames if those things ever saw daylight. So what – she showed her bare back? Is that what all the tears were about? Honestly I really don’t know what she thought she’d be doing when she moved into the model apartment to work for a modeling agency. Taking dictation? Has she never seen a fashion magazine? Seriously.

Strangely, on the last episode, Brit related a story where she had to do a shoot where she and a guy were pretending to be in bed together. So… she made it through that ordeal? That sounds like something she would have fallen apart over. Turns out it was okay because they didn’t have to kiss. As long as they didn’t have to kiss it’s okay. What about what her dad will think? Like she was worried about what he would think when her back showed, you know? She must have been in fluffy flannel winter jammies for the bed scene or else I don’t know how she survived. So then she was traumatized that she had to pretend to like Teddy in a photo shoot and she actually went to the bookers and asked them to request that there be no kissing! WHAT? This is a brand new, no-name little newby and she’s making demands like this? I don’t get why the bookers even entertain such requests. It’s so unprofessional. I’m not saying she has to do everything that is asked of her – especially if it gets weird or really starts crossing lines, but who in the world is she to go in there and – before she’s even been hired, mind you – request that there be no kissing in the photo shoot!? If I were hiring models and heard a request like that, I would pass that model over just for being high maintenance from the get-go. Un-proven models don’t get to make demands, do they? I mean, do they? I don’t think that the modeling world is going to be patient with her wide-eyed, teary innocent act for much longer. Yes, you have to change your clothes sometimes if you want to be a model. No, you don’t get to pick what you wear or who you work with or your eye shadow or the backdrop. You show up a DO WHAT THEY WANT. That’s it.

My next worry about this show is that Teddy seems to be the most articulate cast member. This is HIGHLY alarming. The rest of them always seem to be beating around the bush and talking around the issue and never really saying anything. There’s a lot of “you know,” and “I don’t know,” and “we’ll just see.” Most of the time I can sum up what needs to be said in about 10 seconds, but we still have to sit through 3 minutes of stammering with no resolution. Case in point: Brit’s convo with Teddy on this last episode. First of all, she comes by – obviously as instructed by someone because she would never had voluntarily come by after the HORROR of pretending to like each other at the casting. Teddy was obviously expecting her because he quickly jumped off the phone when she arrived – not something a guy does if he didn’t request the meeting. Then he started asking her why it was weird at the casting.

Brit: I don’t know, it’s like… didn’t you think it was weird?

Teddy: Yeah it was kind of weird. Did you know I’m not with Heide anymore? (Okay, there could be an entire BLOG about the hilarity of that comment).

Brit: Um, oh. No. I didn’t know. I don’t know.

Teddy: Yeah. I’m still looking for that sweet girl. (Huh?)

Brit: (silence, looks at the sky) Um…

Teddy: So if everything hadn’t happened like it did, would we have had a connection?

Brit: Um, uh. I don’t know. (looks at the sky)

Wow. She is a fountain of information isn’t she? Can someone please get her snowsuit to wear under that bikini?

I’ve spent so much time hating on Brit that I didn’t even get to the twin situation which is clearly insane. Kelly said that Sabrina looked CUTE (and sad) when she found out that Kelly got the Dillard’s campaign instead of her. Can you imagine if it had been reversed? That’s another point I’m always wanting to scream at the TV while Sabrina is stammering around not saying anything. Reverse the situation, evil witch, and think how you would react. Um yeah. Wait, what? Um, it’s like, I don’t know…
