Because sometimes we need a break from the literary ... and TV is like reading for regular folks. Anyway, I really wanted Allison Harvard to win this "cycle" of America's Next Top Model, but it was not to be. Which in the end is probably better, because actually being America's Next Top Model is really pretty embarrassing. (Witness last cycle's winner, "McKey," shilling for Cover Girl in recent episodes. She seems both bored and brainwashed.)
What I love about Allison, besides the fact that she is totally adorable, sort of a female counterpart to Christian Siriano, is that she was once semi-well-known around these here Internet parts as "Creepy Chan," from her super-spooky-big-eyed pics on the Anime-heavy image bulletin board 4chan. Plus, she told Tyra and Co. in her initial interview that she has an obsession with blood. And they let her through anyway! And she almost won!
Coming to the end of a reality TV season is very like finishing a good book. I'm going to miss these characters. I'm going to miss you Creepy Chan.

I felt the same way about last summer's final four "characters" on So You Think You Can Dance -- the only television show I watch (and, as I've been waiting a whole year for a new season, I can't believe it's about that time again and we'll be starting up again soon!).
The only shows I watch are ANTM, Project Runway and House. So I'm a snob but I make an exception for trash.
I feel the same way about Hell's Kitchen.
