Who knew digestionally-challenged spitfires who smile with their eyes could throw such a big fit? Take, for example, the open casting call for America's Next Top Model in Manhattan over the weekend. According to reports, "after an overheated car drove past the queue of aspiring models" on Saturday, prompting one of the mental giants in line to shout, “there’s a bomb!” And then? Thousands of applicants panicked and rushed away from the car, causing this mini stampede.

Previously on "America's Next Top Model," Marjorie delighted the Dutch locals with her charming lack of direction and poise.

Previously on "America's Next Top Model" Marjorie's humpback look trumped Sheena's hooch.

Previously on "Your Locals": Pure drivel.

Previously on "America's Next Top Model": Clip show. Feh.

"America's Next Top Model" was clip show last week, and we didn't really learn anything about Marjorie that we didn't already know, like how she's awkward. And French. And is in love with Analeigh. So let's move on to...

Previously on "America's Next Top Model" Marjorie was awkward. Or French. Or both.

Previously on "America's Next Top Model" Marjorie posed as the Headless Horseman.

, and you can watch it at the Free Spirits Film site.

Previously on "America's Next Top Model" local girl Marjorie didn't do anything memorable.

This week on "American's Next Top Model" local spaz Marjorie returned to the model den triumphant, with her winning photo splashed on the wall. But no time for basking! It's time for a lesson with bendable Benny, which required the models to pose in red tubes of fabric. "Unobviously."

With the fall TV season upon us, we were looking forward to a new batch of reality TV locals to make fun of cover. First up was "America's Next Top Model" contestant Marjorie, and she brought much to mock in the season premiere. But, alas, our boyfriend TiVo decided he'd had enough of that show, and erased it before we had a chance to re-watch it for a recap. But we can tell you this: She is originally from France, came to San Francisco when she was seven or eight, and was home-schooled. French, San Francisan, AND home-schooled. To say the chick is a tad awkward is an understatement! She was totally dumbstruck when put alone in a room with Nigel, and when she does talk, she does way too much hand waving. And she also has a tendency to look like this:

Today's Reality TV Locals coverage is comin' at you in duo post style. "America's Next Top Model" and "The Bachelor" are below. Check back later this afternoon for "Top Chef" coverage!

This week's Reality TV Locals round-up will be presented in two parts for your reading enjoyment. First up is "ANTM."

Let's start with "Project Runway," even though the buzz has died down by now, and it really wasn't a surprising ending at all. By this point, you have hopefully seen all the designs in the Fashion Week show, but if not, feel free to rate them yourself!

Let's check in on local girl Marvita, and her quest to become "America's Next Top Model." After arriving in New York, the girls moved into their loft, which, while nice, wasn't exactly posh, what with the bunk beds in one room, and one giant bed in another. Regardless, it was a step up for Marvita, who talked about being homeless, without parents, at the age of 18. Also in the loft: No smoking! And an inspirational quote from Cycle 1 model Robin!?

We're starting with "Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs. Favorites" again this week because it was a heart breaker.

Thank God. Really, thank you, God. Since it's next to impossible to remove producer and star Tyra Banks from America's Next Top Model -- we understand the difficulty in smiting a soul that clearly sprang forth from ninth circle of hell -- at least you have the mercy to replace the sweetly boring Twiggy with the exotic and more straight-heterosexual-male-friendly Paulina Porizkova.(Yay!) Now that the show has been reduced from a grotesque display of jarring anorexia to that of an inane, feel-good beauty pageant, we hope this move makes a dent in the direction that this show has taken. (Models going green? A cigarette-free Top Model house? Just vile.)

The loss of Simone in last week's episode of "Project Runway" leaves us with one local left to root for. (Although as Rita pointed out in her recap of the show, Jack went to U.C. Berkeley, so that kind of counts. But we'll see how well Chris does before we set our sights on him...)

Cover your eyes fellow progressives. We're about to get even faggier.

Abandoned kids, wannabe models, sitcom groaners, socialite teens, and a screaming Brit. It must be Wednesday!

The Governator continues to go where no Governor has gone before and will go on MTV's "Pimp My Ride" to pimp his ride. Actually, several other Governors have appeared on reality shows before. Michigan's Governor Jennifer Granholm tried out for "America's Next Top Model" and former Governor George Allen is all set to appear on the new reality show "I Swear I'm Not a Racist" along with Don Imus and Michael Richards.

As promised, Naomi Campbell came back to town for her very first San Francisco runway walk for our city's night of Fashion Week Live last Thursday -- and as noted by SFist Elaine, she brought Australian model Gemma Ward with her. And Tyson Beckford too!

Previously on "Survivor: Fiji" we lost one of our locals when Sylvia was voted off the island. It's all up to Yau-Man now! (In other news, there's not a single local gal competing in this season of "America's Next Top Model," and that disappoints us greatly.)

It was finale time for one of our locals. Let's see how she did, shall we?

Of course, our number one viewing choice this evening is the season finale of "America's Next Top Model" at 8 p.m. on the CW. Will Melrose, the local girl-we-love-to-hate, become America's Next Forgotten Model? We're loathe to play into the whole youth-is-king attitude of the modeling industry, but we have to agree with the judges' assessment that Melrose does photograph a lot older than she is (although at age 23, she's older than most models who tend to break into the biz). We also have a hunch that Melrose is just using the show to boost her recognizability so she can launch her own fashion design business; she probably doesn't it as much as the other girls.

Well, we lost two of our locals when the Cho brothers were eliminated on "The Amazing Race" last week. If you're wondering what they're up to now, it apparently involves random acts of karma. We just hope they don't partner up with some ungrateful Alabamians for this venture.

While some consider Memorial Day the official start of summer, we know it is marked by a different occasion: the premiere of crappy summer TV shows! While last week was a nice little vacation from TV slavedom, complete with even more deletions from the TiVo Season Pass list, those empty spots are quickly getting filled up. Let's see what the evening has to offer, shall we?

For the past couple of months, Wednesday evenings have been a difficult night to get through. There's just too damn much TV we want to watch! So it is with much relief that after tonight, our Wednesday TV burdens will be lifted slightly as several shows are hitting the finale stage.
