I didn't see her cycle, but to me, Camille is kind of blah. Not memorable this cycle. None of her pics were anything more than decent. Lisa is at least memorable and has had a couple excellent pics. I didn't even think that her pic this week was that bad (not great, either but better than Bianca's), and that they were really only hard on her because they expect more out of her.

^^^ I disagree here as well. I think in America we DO want our celebs to be well rounded. Take Dancing With the Stars...we (collective we - I don't actually watch it) watch that show because we get to see celebs attempt a different skill set. Same with Celebrity Apprentice. And God knows there cannot be any other explanation for putting Adam Garcia in Wicked on West End, because boy is nice to look at, but he CAN NOT SING. He still put butts in seats, though.



Total tangent, but this reminds me of a debate I had recently with some theatre folks...one of the Jonas brothers, who actually had a legit Broadway career before their teen stardom, is set to join the Broadway cast of How to Succeed in Business next year. They were bemoaning the fact that they believe that celeb status rather than talent got him that role. I argued that regardless of personal interest/emotions over this decision, Broadway is first and foremost a business and an art form secondary. It kills me as an actress to say, but reality is reality (except on tv ).
