i dunno to what extent ya'll are aware of this, but i'm like crazy-addicted to ANTM (America's Next Top Model for the uninformed). i get REALLY into each new cycle, yelling at the tv when a girl i'm backing doesn't do well, or when i think the judges are doing things ALL WRONG! :O and since i end up beyond-ridiculously invested in one girl or another emotionally, i inevitably get pissed when she doesn't win like i want her to. out of 13 complete cycles, the girl i was backing has only won once. 1 in 12 is an awful record, really.. X.x my girl will usually make final 6 or so and make it abroad, then for unknown reasons not win. it's infuriating, and last night when i marathoned cycle 11 i got re-pissed that Allison didn't win because she was SO MUCH BETTER both in the runway show, and in her portfolio!
it really is crazy-addictive. as the episode a few weeks ago finished Kyu was all up in arms about the judges' awful elimination decisions and how it was hard to watch anymore because the drama!ho's weren't getting cut. for clarification: i despise the DRAMA factor and skip that on my re-watches, i'm in it for the creative photo shoots and the peeks into the industry, and elimination for what professionals think compared to what i think. i classify the cycles as good and bad depending on how long it took me to care about a particular girl, and how memorable the photo shoots are. for me, the best are cycle 4 (Kahlen!) and 11 (Allison!)
i started watching it regularly at cycle 7, when tv networks merged and it was on a channel i had reception for! so i watched it and loved it, and caught cycles 3-6 on VH1 marathons to catch up. for the first two cycles, i knew who won before i watched and wasn't really surprised, but for everything else i've been really into rooting for my girl.. pointlessly. xD knowing who was gonna win 1 and 2 kept me from even caring about the other girls, but for th rest i've been disappointed SO many times. you can totally see a kinda bizarre pattern up through cycle 9. xD
cycle 3 i cheered Norelle, she came in 5th.
cycle 4 i cheered KAHLEN, she came in 2nd. best cycle ever! for real. (she should have won though, so much better overall)
cycle 5 i cheered Kim, she came in 5th.
cycle 6 i cheered Joanie, she came in 2nd.
cycle 7 i cheered Amanda and Michelle (twins), they came in 4th and 5th, respectively.
cycle 8 i cheered Natasha, she came in 2nd.
cycle 9 i cheered Heather, she came in 5th.
cycle 10 i cheered Whitney, she WON! only time this has happened for 'my' girl.
cycle 11 i cheered Isis, Analeigh, and Sam, they came in 10th, 3rd, and 2nd, respectively.
cycle 12 i cheered ALLISON!! she came in 2nd. (this still PISSES ME OFF! she's awesome and deserved to win!)
cycle 13 i cheered Laura, she came in 2nd.
cycle 14 is still going on, and my girl's in the top 5! i'm all for Raina this time, but Krista would be cool too.

That sounds like my obsession with DWTS. Not to rub it in, but all but one season my fave has won.
