Celebrating another Tyra-free day. America's Next Top Model ended on Wednesday, and I was happy that CariDee won, considering some of the other options.

Of course I was rooting for CariDee, but I was also the room's sole defender of runner-up Melrose. (I'd link to her Wikipedia article too, but most of the editors there have no appreciation for the Long Tail.) Why should the fact that no one got along with Melrose be at all important? She was good at modeling.

Our new trashy, wine-enhanced Wednesday show will clearly have to be Beauty and the Geek. I was completely unaware that such a show existed, but I mean — the choice is obvious now.

Jenna claims that the geeks have problems they need to fix too, but in this area my views haven't changed much since high school. Could it be that Our Bold Hero will learn something? Stay tuned.

I wonder: Would joining in on some Totally Scrabble Tuesday action make me a better person, or at least cultured enough that I can spend my Wednesdays watching a reality show without being shamed for it? I love days of the week with their own nicknames! I also love Scrabble, have even tried to invent an ill-advised drinking game version.

See, if I were an alcoholic, I would have figured out a way to make that work.
