ANTM Cycle 12, Episode 9: Ty Takes On
Despite the earnest humanness of edited live keyboard conversations, glaring limitations of numerous breeds persist. The perspectives that the Mayor and I tote into our cross-metro conversations are reusable grocery bags (you like that Galen Weston?) teeming with similar eccentricities, biases, small town cultural idioms and penchants for feces related humour. Our commentary weekly forsakes the viewpoints of so many honest and intriguing personalities in lieu of our own crass repartee. For this week’s ANTM recap, I have invited two inanimate pieces of clothing and the accompanying stereotypical attitudes of their related sporters to help me dissect some curious quotes from the Famous Five (you like that Canadian Women’s Right’s History reference Nellie McClung?). I will be joined by a Northern Reflections cotton polyester sweater and a free NHL t-shirt from inside a 24 of Labatt Blue featuring the slightly offensive Vancouver Canucks Logo. Shall we?
Celia: ‘I have potential at this age’
Ty – Right, and I have potential to not drink three beers while writing this.
Beer Shirt – How did the girl from last weekend that looked good in the strobe light but like a pale female cro-mag at the street meat cart outside get on this show? I’m still not going to call her, she probably smells like Polident and Judge Mathis.
Northern Reflections – I’ll make it clubs, but you better have the right bower!
Fo: ‘I’m unbelievably proud of myself’
Ty – So are the marketing people from the Mexican division of Clearasil for convincing you to market those blackheads as freckles.
Beer Shirt – If I were to do her, can I cross two squares off on my ethnic unprotected sex bingo card?
Aminat: ‘There’s Paulo, he’s speaking Portuguese’
Northern Reflections – I remember when one of those people came to fix the air conditioning in my condo. Nice fellow.
Ty – There’s Aminat, speaking like the most culturally diverse thing she’s ever done is eating Mr. Wong’s while watching Three Ninjas.
Fo: ‘I know time is a big thing in fashion’
Beer Shirt – I know a big thing in my pants, and they’re fashion.
Ty – You know what else is a big thing in fashion? NOT YOUR SHORT TEARY ETHNIC ASS!
Aminat (about Celia): ‘No offense to her, she looks old, she doesn’t look young, she doesn’t look fresh’
Northern Reflections – Each of our wrinkles tell a story.
Ty – How is Celia supposed to take that other than being offended? ‘You look like a bag of milk past due but hey, no offense. Let’s go brush Sutan’s hair together, k?’
Aminat: ‘I’m African, I’m never on time’
Northern Reflections – Oh! Now I understand those ‘Get your Phone Reconnected’ commercials.
Aminat (on helicopters): ‘I never thought in my life I’d be inside one’
Ty - Is this what all the straight guys say during their first Nigel Barker induced homersexual experience?
Beer Shirt - I swear I said this out loud at some point during Chapter Two of The Da Vinci Code.
Teyona: ‘Don’t touch, don’t touch, I want it all’
Beer Shirt - I hear this all the time. Thank you Axe.
Northern Reflections - That sounds like me at the Golden Griddle after church.
Allison: ‘I feel a bit awkward’
Ty - I feel the same when I wake up after sexual Sailor Moon dreams thanks to you.
Northern Reflections - Buying Metamucil never gets easier.
Nigel: ‘Excuse me, do you know where the beach is?’
Beer Shirt - No, no I don’t.
Northern Reflections - He makes Neil Sedaka look like Rita McNeil.
Mr. Jay (on Fo): ‘you’re giving me Gollum again’
Ty - Of all the things that Fo will play back in her freckly head years after this Cycle ends and she’s selling slacks at Sears, this will bring on those greasy tears more than anything else – could a visual metaphor get much worse than Gollum? What would you rather be compared to, Gollum, Sloth from The Goonies or Clint Howard?
Beer Shirt - I’ll show her my precious.
Mr. Jay (on Celia and Nigel): ‘it’s embarrassing to have the photographer jump in the scene for you’
Ty - Is it ever embarrassing to have Nigel Barker jump in anything for you?
Editor's Note - How embarassing is it to be a dead-ringer for The Ragin' Cajun?
Paula: ‘Modeling is like quicksand, the more you try, the more you sink’
Northern Reflections - This sounds like trying to get out of the tub.
Ty - Confucius say, ‘Pretension like weave, bigger it gets, harder to find bitch attached worthwhile’
Miss J (on Fo’s photo): ‘This is a Fo – Pas’
Ty - You continuing with this Fo word play after your one week grace period is un-fo-givable.
Tyra (on Aminat’s photo): ‘what I see in your pictures is a waste of a body’
Beer Shirt - What I see when looking at her boring pictures is a waste of me not getting wasted.
Fo: ‘I’m going to get my high school diploma!’
Ty - Shoot for the moon Fo! Even if you miss, you’ll still land among the stars of K-Mart catalogues.
