Although AJ said that her elimination was deserved and admitted that she may have secretly sabotaged her own chances on purpose, I think this overall competition lost a lot with her gone. She not only had an edgy look that has usually been missing from ANTM finalists, but she also happened to be one of the nicest people. Then again, maybe she was nice because she didn't really care, and that lack of a killer instinct did her in.

None of the other girls were really talking about AJ during her departure, which sort of makes sense because she admitted that she really didn't get close to any of the others besides Megg. That leaves us to open the show with Eugena complaining about some of the girls and what it is about them that bothers her. During the first show, Eugena talked shit about the girls from Cycle 6, and the judges haven't forgotten about it. It was clearly just a way for her to boost her confidence. Don't actions speak louder than words? In the house Eugena has been a pretty good roommate.

I know that some people are going to say "Well, if she's a good roommate, she won't talk shit behind her roommate's backs", and I suppose you could say that, but a lot of what Eugena has to say is true. Jaeda can't stop complaining about her hair. Check. Caridee can't keep her clothes on. Double check. Anchal complains about her weight. Check. Melrose is a backstabbing ho. Subjective, yes, but still worthy of a check. What's so bad about being frustrated with your roommates?

The next segment, of course, is Anchal, talking about how she is self-conscious about everything, including her body weight. We've all seen how Anchal looked before. She may have the curves of a woman, but she doesn't have any more life experience than, Brooke or the twins, so while I am sympathetic, I'll agree that the act is getting a little old. She complains about her weight, but then stuffs her face. I do feel bad, because she is not fat by any normal human standard, but if she is going to be a model, she needs to eat less bacon and more sprouts.

I think when this is all over, Anchal is going to have a bigger impact than most of the Top Model contestants when they leave. She's probably already considered the hottest Indian living in the United States. Parminder Nagra was cute in Bend It Like Beckham and she has that British accent going for her, but Anchal is a brick house. In the present, Anchal will have to take care of herself. If she's self-conscious then eating better will make her feel better, at least according to Caridee. And it's always good to take advice from girls who can't keep their clothes on.

Like all old people, Melrose likes to get up early and one morning she went out into the backyard and noticed there was a lot of equipment sitting outside and wondered what they are going to do. Well, I am not a genius or anything, but being on a show like America's Next Top Model, I would think that they might have you, I don't know, HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN. We are then introduced to Elyssa Traub, or as we like to call her in Mayim Bialik. Speaking of Mayim Bialik, can you believe she turns 31 in just over a month and Jenna Van Oy (Six) will be 30 next year? Where the hell have I been all this time?

Ms. Traub was sort of like the Jay Manuel for the shoot, but who would be the photographer? None other than Tyra herself. Tyra has done photo shoots for the last couple of seasons, and some of them were pretty damn good. Tyra tried to act modest and say that she mostly shoots her friends and doesn't do anything professional, but judging from all the equipment and the $10,000 camera kit Tyra was lugging around, and the fact that all of the friends Tyra shoots are actors or celebrities, it's not like she is an amateur.
