Why can't I get enough...

...of this guilty pleasure show on on E!

I can't tell you why I get so invested in these girls, or develop such strong opinions on whether they should be signed, but I do - I'm completely hooked.

I love when you see a girl who's genuinely excited, and in to it, and gorgeous, and they sign her.
It almost breaks my heart when I see a beautiful girl who's great and for some reason (e.g., she's only 5' 8") she doesn't get signed.

And when there's a candidate who's inflexible and unwilling to do whatever it takes, I relish seeing her not get signed. Inside, I'm screaming, "Hello spoiled child! There are countless girls coming to NYC every day who would do ANYTHING to have this opportunity, and given it, would do EVERYTHING with it. Welcome to the real world."

That, and I love these two women.

Beri is fierce and funny and stunning, and she has great coaching instincts. You believe she wants to help every girl to succeed; if she can't pull "it" out of a girl, you know it's probably not there.

Dani has such style and personality, and a quick mind. She's warm and supportive, but doesn't suffer fools gladly, nor pull punches. She also understands that it's a business, that you need "commercial" girls as well as "editorial" ones to make money.

So forgive me my addiction, especially now that the season's over and the withdrawal is about to set in.
