When the girls arrived at their shoot the next day, they were in for a little bit of a surprise. They were already out in the bush, but to get to the location of their shoot, they would have to goo kloofing. What is kloofing you say? It's a type of outdoor activity where you follow the path of a body of water wherever it may take you, including whatever may be in the way. The models didn't have to do anything so crazy as jump off of a waterfall, but it was humorous to watch them wade through the water. Most people didn't complain, and let's admit it now, it was good to see them in wetsuits.
Finally reaching the location for the shoot, the girls learned that their little trek wasn't even the biggest surprise of the day. Jay Manuel, who is always able to find some sort of couture piece of clothing, including a wetsuit, told them that they were going to do their own makeup, hair and wardrobe. Not particularly difficult right? You would think that these girls learned something about hair, makeup, and style during their time on the show. Well, the thing was that their wardrobe had to be made from the environment, and that made for some interesting choices. As you could imagine, Naima took it very seriously and she chose some brush and some earth (yes, she dug up some dirt and used it). Kahlen sort of went with it. She didn't really have an idea of how it would all tie together. Keenya was looking for stuff that would hide her stomach. If it makes sense, Christina sort of looked like a Slutty Pocohantas Salad. I had no clue what was happening. Brittany, she just rolled around in the mud.
With the so few girls left, you start hearing some new criticisms with some people, and the old criticisms for others start to spring up. For Naima, Jay noticed that she didn't look so good full frontal, so to speak. I guess most of her shots have been in profile, and he said something was missing when she was posing full on. For Kahlen and Keenya, the trouble was with their posing, and Keenya had the added problem of having to work around the little belly she has been packing on. At least she is still fitting into the clothes at the go-sees, unlike Cassie from last season. For Brittany, and at times Keenya, she seems like she isn't taking things seriously. She has been getting some awesome shots lately, but when she doesn't work, she reverts back to slutty instead of just sensual.
I would like to say more about Christina, but what is there? We know she is very caring. When Naima, Kahlen, and Christina were home while Keenya and Brittany were partying, they all had a nice meal and Kahlen called her the most caring person in the house. You can see it, when the cameras weren't around, and the judging didn't matter, she helped Kahlen when her friend died. When the camera is around, she becomes clinical, or as jay described her, mechanical, in just about everything she does, whether it be posing or in her interviews in front of the judges.
Anyway, here are the pictures from this week:
At the judging, the the remaining contestants learned of a little twist. They have been learning about how to be a model throughout their time on the show, but they were also learning about the industry, and the panel gave each girl a chance to critique the pictures of the other girls. Overall, I was quite surprised at how much knowledge the girls brought about each other's photos, especially Kahlen. She plays the one that is always lost and naive, but she, along with Naima, were the most insightful about giving comments. Christina also had some good comments and looked like she was thinking before she spoke. Keenya, well, when I think she took the advice she got from Jann Carl
a couple of weeks ago a little too seriously. When pressed for something to say, she just rambles, not making much sense, and it sounded like she was really just trying to make the other girls look bad. When she came to describe Naima she said she didn't like the picture because it made her look dirty in her underpants. Wha? Are you saying she is a slut? She's on the rag? It made absolutely no sense, until you heard from Brittany who simply said "Yeah, that's nice" or "It looks good".
The girls then got to choose who was the most model like and who was the least. Everybody picked either Keenya or Kahlen as the top, while three people picked Christina as least likely, including Christina's close friend Kahlen and Naima. Keenya said Naima was the least likely, and Christina said Brittany was the least likely.
When it came down to judging, we once again heard a lot of old criticisms about the same people. Keenya was gorgeous, but hadn't been working that hard, but may not be made for modeling. Naima was praised for her critiques, but again they said she loses a little from the front and that they want to see a little bit more of her emotion come out. Kahlen had the most praise, largely because I think she was working with low expectations. Everybody expected her to be stupid during the critiques, but she surprised. Her pictures have been great as of late, and I think the judges are proud she bounced back from her little personal tragedy.
