Today is the last day that fans can vote at CBS.com for their favorites. (The viewers' top six will be combined with the producers' favorite six, and the chosen dozen will enter the house on July 6.)

Editors, we're on to you: When...

Editors, we're on to you: When there are this many girls still in the competition, we can totally tell who the bottom two are going to be after about the first five minutes. Well, we could also tell from the judges' comments in the past two weeks that Diane wouldn't be in the running for long — they wanted a Toccara-size personality, and all she could give them was a big dose of insecurity. Bre's suddenly faltering self-esteem was unexpected, though. Toughen up, Harlem girl! OK, on to the juicy stuff: Coryn vs. Lisa, Round 1. In real life, I too would really hate Lisa. From my couch, however, I feel like she's one of my friends, sitting next to me and picking apart the little poseurs. (Of course I'm jealous of them. Why else watch?) Despite her nasty, drunk delivery, her point about Coryn's hard look was valid. In the "flaunt it, hide it" challenge, I was so glad to see Kyle finally step up. Her hair dye can't quite cover the dumb blonde deep i

I've been looking forward to this...

I've been looking forward to this all summer, but hurry up and break some hearts, Tyra; I need to see what's in the hatch! It looks like ANTM got its budget back after last cycle's cramped, inner-city digs and cheap excursions. Now the squealing poseurs get a posh Beverly Hills mansion and a stretch SUV to call their own. There are going to be some good catfights this fall, and a couple of good sob stories, too. I will definitely love to hate Texas beauty queen Cassandra, who explains that she's not icy because she doesn't like sharing her feelings with people, she just doesn't have any feelings. Ashley "Pretty Gene" was too easy to loathe, so I'm glad she's gone. I hope Ebony stays longer than I think her first photo indicates, 'cause she's going to be fun to quote — "Don't get it twisted!" And with her frank commentary about stuffing Nicole in a closet, Bre is close behind in the quote race. Kim the lesbian isn't quite

So Michael got evicted from the...

So Michael got evicted from the Big Brother house... I'm sooooo surprised. Almost as surprised as Michael was when Julie told him that all the housemates had secret partners. Um, yeah, they all had figured that out, Ms. Chen. You've got to come up with a tougher twist next year. I still don't entirely understand what Michael did to tick Eric off, though. I mean, Eric's talk with Julie (who looked great in that yellow dress) wasn't all that enlightening. He just basically admitted to hearing some comments about his family from an uncertain source. But it is nice that the little Napoleon is no longer HOH. No longer will we have to hear him expounding on how everything should be done, and now maybe people can actually relax and have a good time. Novel idea. I am glad that Michael's secret partner won Head of Household; it's sort of a bittersweet irony. It should be fun to see ev
