I don't know about you, but I'm sort of a fan girl for Marisa Miller thanks to the heyday of Victoria's Secret, so I was psyched to see her fill in as guest judge on this week's America's Next Top Model. This episode was all about the water — cliff diving, scuba diving — and some of the girls freaked. Who was able to overcome her fear and move on, and who choked?

While it wasn't the most dramatic episode, this week's America's Next Top Model sure was beautifully picturesque. The models flew to the Hawaiian islands, tried out a little surfing, and then posed as a mix of different races. While Bella ranked the high fashion shoot as one of her 15 worst, I thought it was a nice hour of entertainment nonetheless.

Was it just me or was America's Next Top Model kind of a snooze this week? I miss the over-the-top fantasy glitz of the Cirque du Soleil or martial arts challenges. Not that the judges didn't give the models a tough task — each girl had to interview on camera for The Insider and script her own CoverGirl commercial.

Which is harder — handling a sword on a high wire, or driving in LA traffic? This week on America's Next Top Model, the girls attempted both. Call me a dork, but I sort of loved the martial arts challenge.

I've got to agree with Bella: it took surprise visits from Lil Mama, the Jabbawockeez, and Cirque du Soleil to do it, but this week's America's Next Top Model brought back some much-needed pizzazz to Cycle 13 — even if the models themselves were quasi-lackluster. (Come on, Kara! Bring the fierceness!) There was some drama with Ashley, the obligatory offbeat comments from Nicole, and by the end of the hour, I was fully rooting for small-town girl Laura, who's quickly proving to be a top competitor.

This week's America's Next Top Model wasn't much more entertaining than last week's snoozefest (Bella seems to agree, awarding it just three short-legged "Milos"). But it was a bit better, mostly because we got a little more screen time with Tyra, there was a model who appeared to be faking orgasms during the photo shoot, and we had Laura wearing her grandma's clothing creations with pride ("Majah," Miss J said of the look). All in all, not bad, but I've come to expect more from you, ANTM.

Top Model — either you're amazingly campy and over-the-top or . . .

After last week's premiere, cycle 13 continued on as the models learned a thing or two about rejection and of course, learned to smile with their eyes — or "smize," as it's now called. This week's episode had the usual doses of challenges and cat fights, but how closely were you paying attention? Test your knowledge, and then head over to Bella for her beauty quiz.

The good news: your TV schedule is about to get a big boost when Fall TV kicks into high gear (download my calendar to keep track), bringing back new episodes of established series and premieres of new favorites. The bad news: there's not enough room in the TV schedule for everything, and you're going to have to make some very difficult decisions on what to watch each night. Check out my picks for what will be the hardest shows to choose between.

Did you watch last night's premiere of America's Next Top Model? The CW revealed the final 14 girls a few weeks ago, so we already knew who was going to make the cut, but there was still plenty of satisfying drama and overall craziness. (What was with Tyra's French accent?
