So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Reality check. [mirrored] Friday, March 14, 2008 @ 12:01 am Make Me a Supermodel is one of those shows that I have to watch despite its admittedly unoriginal premise, unimpressive editing, and non-compelling hosts. I have to admit that a large part of the reason I absolutely MUST watch the show at any opportunity would have to be the odd coupling of boy-next-door Ronnie and edgy-prison-guard Ben. It was established early on that Ronnie had an attraction to Ben, who is (supposedly) straight AND married, and I won't lie--that arrangement resonates with me. Today's mini-MMaS-marathon gave me an opportunity to finally watch the shows I missed. Boy, am I glad that I vegged out in front of the TV watching this reality CRAP instead of doing my work like I was supposed to! In one of the episodes I missed, the models were at a shoot for a "video look book." They were being cast for a two-person scene in which they would act out a steamy (but tasteful) late-night pre-coitus scene right before heading off to bed. TwoP's Al Lowe describes it better than I ever could: Ben "jokingly" says he thought the director was going to pick him and Ronnie to do this together. Oh, BEN. You are fooling no one, and I mean that so very seriously. You want a little safe taste of Ronnie, fine, I get that, but please don't think anyone is buying that you're really joking about it. Naturally, the director immediately puts them in the scene together. "Love you, baby," Ben says to his wife at home. "There's no need to kiss or anything like that," the director assures them, but Ronnie interrupts. "Don't say that," he laughs, and he and Ben get busy while everyone watches. It's pretty steamy, I must say, but really it's over the top with the roughness. Ronnie looks confused most of the time, which amuses me -- I'm telling you, the attraction part of this equation has reversed now. Ben feels Ronnie slipping from his grasp and he's doing this to hold on to him. Armchair psychology? Maybe, but all I can say is that I remember being twenty-two. Ah, Al--so do I. 0 Comments.
