TV blabs

So last night i caught America's Next Top Model and i must admit that I watched the last 2 seasons of it and was hooked then too. It's too soon to pick favorites, but obviously you remember the extremes... this season has one loudmouth that everyone hates right off the bat - but she immediately breaks down when Tyra Banks calls her on being mistreated herself. Then another girl announces she's legally blind and will be blind by 30. Which is really sad, but just seemed to be brought up for 'opportunistic' reasons... you know?

Also watched "In America" - about an Irish family that migrate to Manhattan with nothing and manage to make a living and stay. It didn't really seem that interesting offhand, but it turned out to be really endearing. The 2 little girls were really good and convincing and you really felt like you were 'living' in the neighborhood with them. Only one attempted robbery at knife-point (and I'm guessing in reality there'd be much more crime - especially where they supposedly lived) but overall, it felt pretty realistic!
