Two peas in a pod

After completing the 8th season of Project Runway and the latest episode of America's Next Top Model Cycle 16, I find that there are two people in both shows that are similar in many respects.



Alexandria Everett and Michael Costello are two peas in a pod. Although they're from different pods - one is more fashionable while the other is more fierce.

Both Alexandria and Michael were seen as the "villains" in their respective shows. Both are very outspoken and that often gets the goat of their housemates.

They've both been ganged up on: Michael during the Team Challenge and Alexandria during the Ford Focus Challenge. Everyone wanted Alexandria and Michael out the soonest, but they stayed on the competition. Then, when people found out their true colors, people saw them in a different light. Michael became good friends with Mondo, Andy and Gretchen, while Alexandria made peace with Brittany, Kasia and Hanna. (Although Molly still hated Alexandria's guts.)

And the biggest similarity, both were the part of the final four, and they were the 4th runner up of their respective shows.

Given how talented they are, I'm sure that they'll achieve fame and recognition even if they weren't crowned winners of their respective shows.
