Jason Hughes — 2011-12-08T00:30:00+00:00

There was a surprise waiting toward the end of this season finale of 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW). Going into the finale, it was a three-way competition between Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard and Angelea Preston.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

After watching their final shoots, Tyra Banks made her announcement. "It turns out that after shooting was wrapped, our production team and the network learned information from Angelea that disqualifies her from the competition," she said.

A Michael Bublé Christmas - Tuesday December 6, 8PM ET/PT, CTV/NBC

I will definitely not be watching this, but as I see this round-up as a service to others as much as an exercise in planning my own weekly viewing, I include it for all the people who, inexplicably, love this guy. The Bubbler is joined by guests including Justin Bieber, Kellie Pickler, Tracy Morgan and Ed Helms. (Forgive us, but we have to throw it in there: this unholy alliance can be called ... Bublieber?)

Did Tyra Banks Really Just Suck Tyson Beckford's Thumb on 'ANTM'? (VIDEO)

First of all, Tyra, when is it innocent and non-sexual for a grown woman to suck a man's thumb? Second of all ... what?

The girls were excited to meet supermodel/actor Tyson Beckford on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW), but his arrival signaled a turn a turn into weirdoville during the motion video shoot for Tyra Bank' book 'Modelland.'

On day one, you had some weird scenes with Laura digging through garbage and Lisa playing a crazy baby mama. But it was on day two that Tyra stepped in as the female lead. That's because that was the day Tyson joined the shoot.

Angelea Feels Attacked, Goes on the Offensive on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

In a challenge absolutely designed to create conflict among the remaining contestants on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW), the girls were asked to critique one another, and even decide which of them really shouldn't be on the show anymore.

When Dominique singled out Angelea for that latter honor, she immediately went on the defensive. Laura tried to explain to her that they all love her and think she's wonderful, just lacking in self-belief, but Angelea wasn't hearing any of it.

Shannon Refuses to Model in Underwear on 'America's Next Top Model' -- Again! (VIDEO)

When Shannon decided to make a stand against modeling in underwear for the second time this season, shoot director Jay Manuel was prepared to support that decision on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW). But considering she was willing to wear skimpy swimwear and dress in revealing clothes, he was still struggling to understand it.

"I would love to understand the message," he told her, but explaining it proved more than she could handle.

"It just comes down to underwear-- If you go-- It's just kind of different," she sputtered out, leaving him more confused than ever.

Glee - Tuesday November 8, 8PM ET/PT, Global/Fox

The episode title is 'The First Time' so that should give you a hint of some of the big developments that happen at McKinley High this week. Blaine and Rachel may be partially motivated to heat things up in their private lives when Artie tells them they have zero sexual chemistry as Maria and Tony in the school production of 'West Side Story'. So basically, we're getting teenage sex both gay and straight, and a handful of truly classic songs all on the same night!

The Game Loves Allison And Her Music Video on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

The Game may not be an expert in fashion, but he does know a thing or two about what looks good when it comes to women. Of course, the same could be said for most men, but most men didn't get to be a guest judge on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET On The CW), and The Game did.

He was particularly fascinated by Allison's video shoot, which he also got to direct. She wasn't quite sure what to make of his critique at first, because he was fixated on the word "weird" in trying to describe what he'd just seen. In his defense, it is certainly the first thing that comes to mind, and not in a bad way.

America's Next Top Model - Thursday November 3, 9PM ET/PT, CTV Two/CW

If you've ever wondered what happened to former Eminem protege of dubious street cred The Game, Tyra has the answer. For one thing, they just call him Game now. (It is tough to have the definitive article before your name -- just ask The Situation.) I wonder what Jayceon Terrell Taylor thinks of his strange fortunes -- which saw him nominated for two Grammy Awards only six years ago, and now he's a guest star on 'ANTM.' The model-bes are asked to write and sing a song about their lives, which, holy moly, that would be enough to get me to tune in. But bonus: they make a music video of their results, which Game (no "The") directs.

Just for fun, and probably to drum up some attention, 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW) invited Kathy Griffin to join the judging panel for this week's episode. While she didn't bring any particular fashion knowledge, she did bring plenty of jokes.

She introduced herself to the models by announcing that Tyra Banks had been fired. "Sometimes people get fired because they don't have it," she said. "So they decided to hire me as a real model, and I'm going to give her some training and some lessons."

Bre Scares Supermodel Coco Rocha at Shoot on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

After enjoying a little flag football, pixelated for your pleasure, on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW), the girls were tasked with posing for a fight-themed photo shoot with supermodel Coco Rocha.

Rocha's been in the business for a while now, so she's worked with a lot of different people. But nothing could prepare her for Bre. The girl was screaming and overacting so much, she was dangerously close to getting cast in a low budget B-movie.

"I've never worked with someone like that, even in my professional career," Rocha said. "I didn't even know how to pose anymore, it was so shocking."

It was Kardashians all over the place on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW) as the sisters showed up with their new fashion line from Sears and a challenge for the contestants. They wanted to see the girls strut their own style, while wearing Kardashian style.

The winner got a complete Kardashian outfit to take home, which they were incredibly excited about. And, as it turns out, two of the contestants got the new look because they tied for the win. Apparently, these two were so dynamic, the sisters simply couldn't decide.

It looks like the competition on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed. 9PM ET on The CW) was almost too much for one contestant. At the house, Kayla started complaining of headaches, nausua and dizziness before her situation escalated into something even worse.

By the time she started gasping for breath and throwing up, even the cameramen put down their equipment and stepped in to try and help while the ambulance was on its way. It was a pretty scary moment as she was carted away.

Kristin Cavallari Displays Perfect 'Booty Tooch' on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

Tyra Banks is so fierce she makes up her own language when it suits her. She schooled the models on "the booty tooch" during this week's 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on MTV). It's a simple technique of arching the back to lift and accentuate the butt.

Based on the photo of side-by-side models she used for her example, it was evident which one looks more feminine and graceful. The model who didn't "tooch" looked blocky and a little shapeless through the middle.

Banks then checked to see if guest judge Kristin Cavallari could model a booty tooch, and the reality star proved up to the task. The next question is, how many of you will be trying this some time today?

Nigel Barker Lets Tyra Shave His Head on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

We all know by now that Tyra rules on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW) and that she always gets what she wants.

This week she was feeling capricious and, although she'd previously ordered judge Nigel Barker to grow his hair super-long she announced that she'd changed her mind: "I don't think it's on-brand."

Then she whipped out an orange hairdressing cape, tied it around the neck of a clearly nervous Nigel, and went at it with a pair of electric clippers.

As André Leon Talley looked on in horror and Nigel started to make scared gargling noises, Tyra shaved off a strip right through to the skin in the center of Nigel's 'do.

Shannon Refuses to Pose in Lingerie on 'America's Next Top Model' (VIDEO)

Shannon Stewart's been on 'America's Next Top Model' (Wed., 9PM ET on The CW) before, and that time around she had to pose in lingerie, which made her feel uncomfortable: "That's not the way I want to be portrayed."

This time around Shannon feels more confident about asserting herself and so she refuses to wear a pair of lace panties for an exterior shoot, opting instead to don a pair of teeny-tiny bikini bottoms.

What's confusing the heck out of photo shoot director Jay Manuel is that she should have been wearing the panties over the bikini bottoms in the first place anyway. "Are you that uncomfortable wearing it on top?" he asks.

But Shannon won't budge. That's who she is, and she'd rather give it all up and go home than do something she's not comfortable with.

Survivor: South Pacific - Wednesday September 14, 8PM ET/PT, CBS/Global

'Survivor' returns, looking a lot like last season. The Redemption Island twist is back, as are two previous castaways, Coach and Ozzy. Which is a far cry from Rob and Russell, but I can see why the producers would be eager to reproduce the experiment that led to such an interesting game last time. Another round of Coach wisdom is just about the last thing I was hoping for but I imagine he'll get himself voted off pretty quick. The other thing that hasn't changed -- the prize is still a million dollars. It makes you wonder when they're gonna get a cost-of-living or inflation raise on this show.

(S14E07) I thought I had reached my quota of hair growing out of a woman's breasts this season with 'Project Runway,' but 'America's Next Top Model' just trumped Amy's hairy breast outfit by miles. This week, between the drama at the house and a drag Tyra Banks, the girls had to make full dresses made out of hair look good. Sadly, most of them looked horrible, but Tyra and her judging panel were not looking at the same photos as I was.
