Nigel is still with us. It's this one:

Her title is apparently "PR maven"

I have yet to understand what she does exactly.

Really. What, exactly, is a maven? Can I use that as my occupation on my tax paperwork?

Never heard of her.

Is a maven like a raven, except that they don't wear black all the time?

A raven with a penchant for mauve.

except that they don't wear black all the time?

But this one does!

New BNTM on now, have we all given up?

Just me then but glad to see all the stereotypes being deployed: you're aggressive, intimidating and need to get rid of the chip on your shoulder and we aren't even 30 mins in.

The girls are terribly plain, the makeovers will have to be of biblical proportions

Well, good things is they didn't have 3 weeks of pointless fucking auditions.

And Tyson is easier on the eye than bitter Charley Speed and pretty much anyone is easier on the eye or ear than Grace.

Did it seem like Tyson and Whitney interpreted mentoring as standing around an iPad and going 'naaah that's shit'?

Agreed that they are all pretty average looking, and some would have been laughed off the catwalk by Janice for being too fat (or not fat enough)

Greetings, Kitty.

Yes I agree about unfortunately some would have been deemed fat by mad Janice, the Somalian(?) girl for example looked wide but possibly it was my tv.

I don't think Tyson will mince his words judging by the little I saw of Make Me A Supermodel.

The girl that left.....mentally challenged?

I'm not sure why Elle is bothering doing eliminations, they seem to be leaving of their own accord.

Guilty laugh at the final selection when the girl who had been boasting didn't get picked.

watched the first episode. God they are so meh. As somebody said the transformation will have to be radical.

Very boring episode, still I'm liking the judges so far, except Elle, who is not far off Tyra's ego

Still very Blah isn't it?

Someone needs to go back to the editing suite - as Madeline the girl they cast as chippy know-it-all was shown to be fun and not at all the mardarse from the first few episodes.

Did find the near passing out due to clunge strangulation quite amusing.

Can't open her eyes girl still was failing to open her eyes on camera, it's a special skill and she can't be long for this competition.

Makeovers next week. Then perhaps I'll be able to tell them apart.

Can't open her eyes girl has a big mouth so maybe there for some time

Madeleine has terrible skin, even the slap couldn't hide it which is not a good advert for Revlon

Btw was there enough product placement in yesterday's show? Maybe not just a few more bits scattered round next week

So the usual collection of makeovers -

6 x girls get the same but better hair.

3 x girls get crazy crops (loved the really short pixie cut on the dark haired girl, less keen on the girl with dragon tattoo).

1 x epic weave (which I did like, it really softened Maddy's face and made her look less of a mardarse)

2 x square fringes

and 1 x Ronald Mcdonald. Julien. You BASTARD. A pretty girl goes into the hairdressers and comes out like Ronald Mcdonald.

I couldn't be bothered to watch last night, i'll look out for a repeat seeing as its makeovers

Does Madeline's epic weave cover her terrible skin?

Well, it's got a fringe so she has something to hide behind.

To me Madeline looks like she forgot to pu her teeth in. Fugly
