Parting shots: Ode to two great reality villains

Two of The CW’s best-ever drama queens were handed their walking papers last night.  One refused to walk.  Farmer Wants a Wife evictee Josie unloaded on country boy Matt—right in front of the stunned townies at bingo night.  Saying he wanted a female farmhand, not a wife, Josie yelled that he didn’t have anything to offer a girl…then declared she wasn’t leaving ‘til Matt gave her a “departing gift.”  The blubbery, unattractive blonde (who fancies herself “a 10-plus”) brought more laughs to a reality show than any contestant I can ever remember.  Josie’s views on politics, work, money, love, decorating, the elderly—well, just about anything—were so outrageous, she became the train wreck you couldn’t look away from.  Someone, please give this girl a weekly half-hour forum to voice her thoughts; it’ll be appointment TV for many.  America’s Next Top Model axed Columbus native Dominque, who made few friends with a pushy persona and third-person references to herself.  Some likened her strong facial features to a transvestite, but even Tyra admitted that as the weeks wore on, Dominique took some great photos.  Among the final four, arguments could be made that she was more attractive than plus-sizer Whitney, ultra-thin Fatima, and ditzy Anya.  But the Buckeye gal took her elimination with class, saying she felt like a winner for advancing this far.  Who will survive next week’s final TV commercial challenge?  My upset prediction: Whitney.
