I dont' know if anyone is watching the show because I'm not, but the topic has been brought up for discussion on alt.atheism. Apparently one of the contestants on the show is an atheist. I have posted a link with her picture and some bio information:

Apparently there has been some friction when they had a dinner prayer. It almost makes the show worth watching. Almost. . .

Oddly enough she is also extremely intelligent.

She's stunning, and with brains galore as well! More proof that Atheists gals are the hottest around. If there is a God, I hope it looks like her.

It's actually "Could the search for ultimate truth really have revealed so hideous and visceral-looking an object?" And it was in reference to the protein structure.

Poor Elyse is trapped in fundie-hell. I don't think she'll make it.

Excerpts from the blog:

Quote:

LOFT POLITICS
Before leaving for their 11:30 AM challenge, Robin and Shannon sat at the dining room table, quietly reading from the Bible. Spotting Elyse across the room, Robin ushered her over and asked the self-avowed atheist to read a specific passage from the book. "Foolish is the man who says there is no God," read a confused Elyse. Suddenly, it dawned on her that Robin was sending a very pointed message about her belief system. Stunned, Elyse stared at the page before handing the Bible back to Robin. "When I read that, it made me think of you," Robin said, gazing up at Elyse. Clearly offended, Elyse left the room without responding.

...

Before letting the girls go for the night, J. assembled them to discuss their future life plans. Katie was interested in acting, while Ebony expressed a desire to be a comedian. Elyse's pursuits in the medical field, however, stopped J. in his tracks, and he explained just how difficult that would be for her. Giselle privately commented, "Elyse, I love her, but her dream is to become a doctor. It's like, well, why are you here? That really, really pisses me off." Elyse was not thrilled by J.'s critique, and it only furthered her feelings of frustration with and alienation from the modeling competition.

...

TENSIONS ERUPT
Back at the loft, the fireworks continued. While most of the girls hung out together, raided the refrigerator, and chatted, Elyse retreated to the isolation room to let loose with an expletive-laden rant about the other girls. "There are the most vapid conversations going on around me all the time. Adrianne, stop interrupting me, stop quoting Jay and Silent Bob right next to my ear! I've had enough of you! Robin, how dare you show me that 'Foolish is the atheist' Bible verse this morning and ask me what I think of it? What the (expletive deleted) am I supposed to think of it?! You know what I think of you? Foolish is the woman who believes that (expletive deleted) tripe!" Elyse went on to say that Giselle was "worthless," "bitchy" and "stupid." She added that she didn't believe a word that came out of Katie's mouth and that Katie is "the most insincere person I have ever met." She closed her rant by declaring in disgust, "Let me (expleteive deleted) die, you bitches!"

...

Robin made all the girls stand and clasp hands in a prayer circle while she begged God to quell their competitive spirit. Ebony was clearly unmoved by Robin's words. As Robin continued her lengthy prayer, some of the girls began to cry, including Adrianne, Robin and Elyse. While Robin prayed, Ebony rolled her eyes. Once the prayer ended, Ebony shouted, "Robin, this is not a Bible study group! This is not a sorority! I'm sorry: this is a model competition!"

...

Elyse and Adrianne discussed the morning's prayer held by Robin. Elyse was deeply offended by the event, while Adrianne replied, "you know what? I just kind of blocked it out." Elyse privately confessed, "I think the other girls have the perception I'm not taking this seriously. What the other girls don't know is that I may be taking it more seriously than I'm letting on."

Elyse is right -- what a bunch of bitches. I can't get over that Giselle is "pissed off" that Elyse wants to become a doctor. WTF?!

But c'mon, Elyse, you can do better than silently stomping away from fundie-fire and retreating to sound off in private!

Hedwig · 05-29-2003, 02:33 PM

Goddamn that Robin really sounds like a c--t. Elyse needs to unleash her inner bitch against that woman.

Mageth · 05-29-2003, 02:33 PM

"Foolish is the man who says there is no God," read a confused Elyse.

Well, obviously she has nothing to worry about, being a woman after all.

Born Free · 05-29-2003, 03:19 PM

Wow Elyse she is beautiful and in a very natural way too. Ebony is lovely as well but the rest of them especially the blonde girls are superficial whilst Kesee just looks weird. Adrianne is quite nice. Some of the life motto comments are just gross aren't they???

"I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me." puke

Robin is horrible, ugly inside as well as out.

Crikey just looked at all the portfolios and for would be top model material, I'm sorry Ebony is the only one who measures up imho. Elyse is far too thin, Robin has chunky legs.

we can't all be perfect

I'm in LOVE!!!! :notworthy :notworthy

I think Adrienne looks the most like a "model" with her distinctively wide-spaced eyes. Katie is the hottie; too bad she got bumped for being too hot. Elyse has the brain (and a gorgeous face!) but no bod. Robin is just plain ugly inside and out.
