*Funny thing about the ship they're calling home, I remember seeing it featured on one of those "most haunted" shows...
First impressions are extremely important and I can't say that I was impressed by any of the women...but a few did stand out for other reasons. Miss Georgia stood out on day 1 because of how shiny and bouncy her weave was...but that could only be on my radar because of my own desire to get my weave put it (Vegas in 2 weeks!!!!) Miss Missouri captivated me due to her awkward face. She's not ugly, not at all...but her face is, well - different. Miss Minnesota was black and that jumped out to me as she was representing Minnesota. Way to go...because when I think of Minnesota I think of snow bunnies. Miss Iowa was the most cookie cutter type to me. It's like you've seen her type recycled over and over again. I was definitely disappointed to see the lack of diversity represented for the various states. Since when does "blonde" and "brunette" count as real diversity?

If you find yourself in on a Friday night over the next 2 weeks turn to TLC and catch the show. You can also go online and vote for your favorite contestant to have a spot in the top 15.
