"Make Me a Supermodel" 2.1 mini-cap: Boxed in

In last night's Season 2 premiere of Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel , we met this year's hotley crew of model wannabes. Super.

Among the pouty, fresh faces is CJ Kirkham, an 18-year-old private investigator who loves motorcycles, rock climbing, soccer and her live-in boyfriend — she's also bisexual, so maybe not necessarily in that order.

The first challenge of the season pairs up the models and suspends each duo inside a Plexiglas box while it dangles 30 or 40 feet in the air, where they're told to strike non-porny, yet intimate poses with each other. Jordan, a self-described "lone wolf," chooses CJ as her box mate and up they go.

CJ says, "I'm bisexual. I find women to be physically attractive." Oh really? Instead of taking advantage of being in a confined space with a hot girl and explicit instructions to get sexy with her, CJ looks like her only concern is Jordan's bean burrito lunch.

Despite her motorcycle-riding, rock-climbing, soccer-playing street creds, I'm not sure CJ is truly bisexual or just playing the showmosexual card for the cameras.

Meanwhile, hyper-hetero Branden is paired with super gay, androgynous, Chris. I fully expected Branden to wig out at the prospect of being touchy with Chris, but instead of being a dick in a box, he wasn't.

Later, the kids do their best My Pretty Pony runway strut for the judges: Designer Catherine Malandrino, photographer and modeling consultant, Marlon, iconoclastic lesbian model Jenny Shimizu and Sgt. Pepper's Clockwork Orange photographer, Perou.

"I really don't have style at all. I wear jeans, and a black T-shirt, and my Converse," CJ reports in her interview video. Holla. If Jenny can get away with it, why not you? Here's CJ in something a little less Shane.

In the end, CJ lives to strut another day when the panel sends a lumbering, lantern-jawed guy named Ken packing, but not before Jenny comments on his "amazing ass." With glutes like a bowling ball, I noticed Ken's butt, too. According to CJ's definition, maybe Jenny and I are also bi. Nah.

Not likely next week: In an awkward moment when pasts collide, Jenny runs into both Madonna and Angelina in the cheese aisle at Balducci's.

    I love these shows and it's

    I love these shows and it's always nice to see a family member on them. Like when Kim was on ANTM - I definitely watched the show when she was on.

    Wow, just how bad is this show?

    Maybe I'm bi too, because I think the picture with the two guys is much hotter.

    *laughs* I'm sure anyone

    *laughs* I'm sure anyone can see that there's way more sexual energy in Branden and Chris' picture than the one with Jordan and CJ. I'm certainly not attracted to men, but their picture is way more stunning!
