Core Four Reasons Heidi Klum is in our Core Four

1. She might not say it anymore, but "Models, this is also a competition for you as well" was pretty much the best line on any reality show. Her lack of knowledge of the English language is endearing.

2. No one does short, tight, and shiny dresses like Heidi. In fact, no one even tries.

3. Anyone who puts Tim Gunn on their show is obviously some sort of genius. The world owes Heidi oh so much for bringing him to us.

4. She has the most classic critiques. "She looks like a fat Minnie Mouse" and "It looked like she was pooing fabric," for example. She articulates what we're all thinking.

Readers, this is also a post for you as well. See more of it after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Chris Harrison is in our Core Four

1. Even though he has limited screen time, he steals the show every time he's on screen.

2. No one can say “This is the final rose” with the intensity that he does.

3. You have to give the man credit. He doesn’t have a problem making any of the bachelorettes/bachelors uncomfortable on The Women/Men Tell All.

4. He's actually pretty funny, which you'll notice if you pay attention to him interviewing The Bachelors.

Core Four Reasons Jeff Probst is in our Core Four

1. He's one of those guys that really believes in his show. Like...he'd watch Survivor even if he didn't host it.

2. He doesn't let the castaways bullshit him at tribal council and always pulls the truth out of them eventually.

3. He doesn't just let the survivors quit. He gives them a hard time about it, as he should.

4. You gotta give a guy who hooks up with one of the former contestants props. Let's see Seacrest pull that one off.

See pictures of Jeff, host with the most, after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Tyra Banks is in our Core Four

1. No other host aspires to be the center point of their show. It takes cahones.

2. She invented fierce before Christian Siriano was even born.

3. Who wants to let the contestants be the only ones to take pictures when you can have one taken of yourself every week?

4. She's Tyra-frickin-Banks. No one can match her level of crazy/fierceness.

See more fierceness after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Jason is in our Core Four (Again)

1) Got to give it to the guy, he looks good without a shirt on. We are definitely not complaining about any pool time.

2) Even though he kissed Jillian, he liked kissing Melissa more, and we like him for that.

3) He “break-dances” like a nerdy white boy, and it’s really cute.

4) We appreciate that he made a point to spend time with the girls in a more relaxed setting. Pool parties are always fun, unless you’re Deanna.

More pictures later!

Core Four Reasons Melissa is in our Core Four (Again)

1) Like Jason, we were glad to hear that Melissa aspires to more than just being a cheerleader.

2) She may not have been the first kiss, but she was obviously the best...the chemistry is definitely there.

3) Unlike some people (cough Molly cough), she let the girls who didn't already have roses spend time with Jason before the Rose Ceremony.

4) It was endearing how nervous she was before her date. And the fact that she dated the same guy from age 15 to 22 and hasn't had a date in a few years means she's not a slut. How many of these girls can you say that about?

Core Four Reasons Stephanie is in our Core Four

1. Without make-up plastered to her face, she’s actually pretty. We’re glad she let her natural beauty shine this week.

2. The bonus clip at the end of the episode was hilarious. She may have brought a whole department store with her, but at least she has a sense of humor about it.

3. You can tell she cares a lot about her daughter AND is acting in a manner that her daughter wouldn’t be embarrassed by (unlike Megan).

4. She seems to have class and tact, two things that most of these girls couldn’t spot if they were dangling in front of their faces.

More pictures here later!

Core Four Reasons Natalie is in our Core Four

1) She has a sense of humor - her impression of the girls reacting to Jason shirtless cracked us up.

2) She's the blondest one left. Yay for diversity (or at least as close to diversity as we're going to get on this show).

3) Even though her breakdown might signal that she can't handle the situation, it did seem like she cared about time with Jason more than competition.

4) I can't help it...gotta give love to my fellow Chicago girls!

Core Four Reasons Jason is in our Core Four

1) Almost any guy is ten times more attractive when he's playing with a kid.

2) His earnest smile...it's sexy, in a dorky kind of way.

3) No brainer...we know more about him than any of the girls!

4) You can't help but love a guy who bounced back after he spent 20 seconds down on his knees proposing to a girl who flat out rejected him.

See more of Jason's impish grin after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Melissa is in our Core Four

1. Everyone love a Texas girl… right? Right?

2. She admitted she was nervous. Everyone was thinking it, she was real enough to say it.

3. She talked about football but didn’t tell Jason she was a Cowboys cheerleader. Good restraint.

4. Her cute and bubbly personality seems perfect for Jason’s fun-loving nature.

See more pep after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Nikki is in our Core Four

1) She's from Chicago...gotta love a hometown girl!

2) She's a beauty queen, yet didn't feel the need to mention it to Jason.

3) They have an obvious connection...first impression rose anyone?

4) Despite the fact that she wants to steal her niece (creepy much?), being good with kids should be an obvious positive for Jason, without the baggage of actually having kids.

See Nikki become the front runner after the jump.

Core Four Reasons Raquel is in our Core Four

1. She’s from Brazil, speaks 4 languages, is gorgeous, and yet we somehow don’t hate her.

2. She stood out in a group of girls who blend together like spray-tanned Stepford Wives.

3. Girl knows what she wants. She didn’t get enough time with Jason, so she stole him back, but still looked classy doing it.

4. Knows her shoes, enough said.

See Raquel put the moves on Jason after the jump.

What is this place?

What is Core Four Reviews?
Core Four Reviews is where we (Alissa and Kristen) give our opinions about various TV shows, mostly reality. Our opinions are brutally honest and no one can escape our wrath. If you do something stupid on TV, you deserve every criticism thrown at you. Exceptions include children, blind people, gingers (they can’t help it, they don’t have souls), and the hopelessly pathetic (that includes you Denise Richards!).

What does “Core Four” mean?
On every reality show we choose our four favorite contestants at the end of every episode. These favorites are the official Core Four. They may change over time and even become the most hated, but at the time they represent the four least annoying people on said reality show.

Find out who we are after the jump.

Who are you people?
Who do you think you are asking us that? This is the internet, not a church group!
