Reunion: Watch What Happens

By Al Lowe

Cohen has another titillating question from a "viewer." You know the dude was backstage just making these up before he came out on stage. Someone wants to know if either Perry or Casey are bisexual. "What is with these people?" Perry asks, as Casey laughs and says no, the two of them are straight-up homosexual. (Sorry, Joe, I am pretty sure he's joking.) Man, Casey is beautiful. I think this contest should be down to him, Holly, Perry and Shannon. That would be a really tough vote, but at least a pretty good model would be awarded the prize -- even if Casey is still awkward, he's got so much potential. Cohen asks him breathlessly about his fear of snakes. These questions sound like they're off the "Mystery Date" board game. Casey says yes, he was very scared of Lemon, and is scared anew when Niki strolls up behind him on the catwalk and has Lemon placed on his shoulders again. He is a good sport about it, as usual. What is wrong with these people? Yes, we want to make sure you were really afraid of this thing... before we bring it back out and wrap it around your neck.

Back from commercials, Tyson has joined Niki in front of all the models. His face is currently featuring a goatee and mustache combo which, if this can ever be said about Tyson, is not hot. Cohen asks him who he thinks has improved the most, and of course he says "my boy, Ben." Why is everybody your boy? "What about your boy, Perry?" Cohen rightly asks. Tyson says Perry's just a natural, and that he barely even needed help to be great. Niki thinks Ronnie has evolved the most. I think Ronnie plays to Niki's motherly instinct -- she cannot stop lavishing him with praise. She says Ronnie has come so far since the casting special, which I must agree is true, though it isn't hard to bounce back from hideous orange tan and embarrassing fake tattoo sleeves.

Cohen brings up Tyson's comment that, were he a woman, ,he'd date Perry. Tyson laughs like he has no recollection of saying that, and I have to wonder what the big deal is, anyway. I'm about to get annoyed when Cohen asks when their perfect first date would be, and Tyson good naturedly makes a joke of it, saying it would be a picnic on the beach. "Oh my God," Perry says, chin in hands, giving him the mock mooney-eyes. Cohen reads another viewer question, asking if Perry's embarrassed at the "obvious preferential treatment" he received from Tyson. Perry answers that he thinks Tyson sees himself in Perry, and recognizes Perry's passion for winning. However, he points out, America votes, so it has nothing to do with Tyson. Whatever. All of that is so obnoxious, but maybe he's right. The narcissism is so unattractive, but he's not terrible at modeling, so if he wins, it wouldn't be a complete tragedy. (Except, yes it would, because I think Holly is the only one worthy of winning.) His hair is all grown out at this point, though, and the K-Federation is in fuller affect every time I see him in profile. He's a handsome guy, but I'm saying I haven't forgotten he's got a touch of the rat face. Shannon and Holly both say that it's been obvious that Tyson loves Perry, but they just accepted it. "I don't there's anything wrong with that," Shannon says. "It just gave us all the more reason to fight."
