ANTM: Epic fail

Sarah, who was the female I did not name in my previous guilty pleasure post, had planned to write a guest blog entry on why America's Next Top Model (ANTM, pronounced "anty em") is in fact a better show than The Ultimate Fighter (TUF, prounced "tough"). I told her I would surrender this virtual stage to her for that purpose, wrongheaded as it was, though I would reserve the right to insert editorial comments; it is, after all, my blog.

Then she backed down.

She couldn't make herself do it.

The reason? Two little words: Clay Aiken. Yes, the Clayster is going to help with an acting-oriented episode of ANTM. Sarah told me--and, yes, she gave me permission to name her here.

Nothing I could have written could have made my case more persuasively than Clay's presence did.

ANTM loses. End of story.
