Beau Quillian: Self - Judge

Quotes 

• Self - Judge : Adrienne is interesting to me, because when she first walked into the semifinals in Los Angeles, she was not a looker.

  [gawky video clip shown] 

  Self - Judge : She didn't walk, she hoofed.

  Self - Judge : I mean, look at that,

  [the photo of purple eyeshadow Adrienne with the python] 

  Self - Judge : I really love her transformation.

  Self - Judge : The camera loved her, so... I wouldn't ever have any problem working with her.

  Self - Judge : I'm not so sure. She doesn't really sell me.

  Self - Judge : Adrienne's in!

  Self - Judge : [coldly]  Out.

• Self - Judge : [re Adrienne's tasteful nude shot]  I think that it's nice to see a sexy version of, uh, tomboy you.

  Self - Judge : Yeah.

  Self - Judge : I love this picture. That looks like an ad. I think... you look amazing, and I admire your courage.

  Self - Judge : Yeah.

  Self - Judge : To have yourself hanging out like that, but not hanging out.

  Self - Judge : Wish we had one of Shannon from that shoot.

• Self - Judge : I have to say that Shannon... blew me away with her performance last night. Adrienne still walked down that runway like she had a broomstick shoved up her ass.

  Self - Judge : [with conviction]  Shannon kicked Adrienne's butt.

  Self - Judge : The smile that usually kills me, I didn't see it.

  Self - Judge : I'm going to take off here my negative rude remarks before about her not doing the nude shoot. Big deal! She morphed into a model.

  Self - Judge : It's interesting, Janice, because when I woke up this morning, I was like "Janice has made her decision, I know she's gonna come in there and be gunning for Adrienne. So, I'm looking at her and going "Wow, thanks a lot!"

  Self - Judge : I'm gonna be the voice of dissent.

  [chuckles] 

  Self - Judge : I liked Adrienne best last night. I felt that Adrienne had her own kind of walk. I feel like Shannon was trying to do an imitation of a - of a model, whereas Adrienne was just more herself, and I saw kind of more potential. Adrienne has developed a very, kind of, strong walk that's very much her own.

  Self - Judge : I think that as a beautiful woman, I think that Adrienne is - is a more beautiful woman, but what I'm looking at today, Shannon looked really, really commercial.

• Self - Judge : [re Shannon]  I think she's reminiscent of Grace Kelly. She can sell diamonds, she's a princess!

  Self - Judge : Oh, I hear everything you say, and I agree,

  [Janice continues to enthuse] 

  Self - Judge : and I agree! But I just think - my opinion is that Adrienne has more width and more depth.

  Self - Judge : I think that if you look at these two photographs, you can tell that Adrienne has lived a little bit more. There's something cooking behind Adrienne's eyes.

  Self - Judge : Who is gonna be on that talk show host late-night couch? Shannon is gonna go up there and blow them away, and be able to talk and be eloquent, and Adrienne could be funny, but you're not gonna be able to hear her.

  Self - Judge : You see...

  Self - Judge : And, I thought, okay, if we're doing spokesmodel, then we just have to go back to Shannon.

  Self - Judge : What would Shannon have to say? Wouldn't you be more interested in Adrienne's character?

  Self - Judge : Character, yes, how she sounds, no. This morning I found a piece of paper. It was a list of my twenty semifinalists in LA, and I had my notes for every girl. And I just went down and I saw Adrienne's name. I didn't have one comment about her, the only thing I had next to her name was a big fat NO with an exclamation mark.

  [Janice laughs] 

  Self - Judge : And it is freaking me out. This year's finals, and I'm stuck here, I don't know what the hell to do.

  Self - Judge : Just out of curiosity, what did you have next to Shannon?

  Self - Judge : Miss Apple Pie, very commercial, very sellable.

  Self - Judge : She was dope last night!
