Just in case you thought I was derelict in my duties about recapping each week’s episode of "Project Runway" and logged in Thursday looking for a new post — last night was a repeat!At first I thought this would return an hour or so of my life, plus blog time, but as it turns out last night was also the two-hour season premiere of "America’s Next Top Model" so it was all a wash in the end. (Actually, it was a wash plus an hour rinse, since it added another show into the Wednesday-night recap situation.)I urge those of you who think it’s OK to watch "Project Runway" but poo-poo "ANTM" to give that show a chance, too. Yes, it’s shallow and yes, god knows I despite creator Tyra Banks and her know-it-all ersatz Oprah shtick … but at the same time, "ANTM" one of those shows that allows me to walk into work wide-eyed the next day and say things like, "Can you believe Monique is that crazy? I think she’s bipolar" or "You mean Cha Cha Digregorio!" And anytime you can slip a "Grease" reference in your daily work routine is a pretty good day.Plus, the winners never actually go on to do anything big — a single guest appearance on "Veronica Mars," so there’s the comfort in knowing the girls who get booted off each week really aren’t missing out on that much.
