DELIBERATION:

Annaliese: “She’s a television hostess. She’s snappy and happy, but she’s not a model.” Betcha can’t guess who said that. Nicholas says she may be a better actress – he could see her in a movie with him. Nigel points out she’s improving and compares her to Mercedes from cycle 2 who is still working as a successfull model.

Alisha: Nigel says she should be able to model but she can’t. Nicholas says there is room for improvement. The witch says there is nothing sadder than a 6 foot girl that is a size 2 (wow!) that is that beautiful but is not photogenic. I don’t think it’s that bad, is it? Kelly says the whole modeling world is crying.

Sophie: Kelly likens her pose to a weather vane. Nicholas says out of the five, she has the best personality. Nigel says Sophie was remarkable but this incenses Kelly who doesn’t care about overcoming barriers – she only cares about the final picture. That would be fair enough if these were professionals but give the kids a break, bitch! They’re here to learn and Sophie triumphed her fear in the picture. Plus, did she know the harness would be photoshopped out? She’s usually pretty aware of her posing, so I’m sure if she knew it would be gone she would have made alternate choices.

Eboni: Well, Kelly’s on a rant, so the bitching continues. She says the photo is difficult to look at and Eboni is lucky a bird didn’t land on her elbow. Nigel says she is a stunning girl, but everyone else was either excited or terrified and Eboni was neither. He needs a more exciting girl.

Laura: Kelly suddenly swallows a nice pill and calls the picture enchanting. She says it could be used for Belgian, Japanese or American clients. Who knew Belgium had high fashion? Nigel says he is a fan of Laura but that if the other girls weren’t so terrified, they probably would have matched her level of modeling in the picture.

Decision Time!

Best Photo goes to Laura, of course and Sophie gets called next, followed by Annaliese.

Even before she finds out she’s bottom two, Alisha starts to break down.

Eboni and Alisha approach Tyra arm in arm and both of them are crying. Tyra tells them they both have huge potential but every week they disappoint with their photos.  Tyra pulls out Alisha’s photo as the person staying.

“I can’t stay.”

Alisha says she can’t be selfish and take the opportunity away from Eboni when she knows she has things she has to work on herself. Tyra gives her the benevolent “Ok, but you’re dead to me now” look.

Trust me, sweet pea, you would have never won.

Alisha says she has to go home and get her spirit back and find herself. She apologizes and hopes they don’t think she is ungrateful. Tyra says it is okay for her to need to go but that doesn’t change the fact that Eboni is eliminated.

So long, Thirtynever.

See ya, Gamatronica.

What’s with the quitting Brits? It’s no wonder we got our independence!

And so, the week that SexyPanda is out has turned out to be a big one. We’ve gone from five contenders to three. Can you believe it? I’m glad I finally got a taste of covering this show, one of the reasons I found TVgasm in the first place. I must commend SP for her work – this isn’t an easy show to cover. I’m looking forward to going back to my old regulars and leaving the models in the hands of the expert. And I can’t wait to see the kitty pics again.

Eboni is proof of eternal youth.
My (something something) are on our side – UK girls need not apply.

About

Luscious just got back from a one year backpacking trip around the world with her husband (TVgasm fill-in specialist, The Professor). She spends her days writing, knitting and sewing. She's only good at one of those hobbies, not saying which.  Her secret dream is to write romance novels and have critics say her brilliance is wasted on such a pointless genre. Also, she'd like to create a pair of pajamas for her niece where the sleeves actually work.

    I swore Alisha was going to win this thing. I loved her how is it possible to have legs that long and beautiful. The woman was beautiful with a body to match! And lets not even talk about that gorgeous completion. I would want Annaliese to win but the judges are right she is a spokesperson/host. But, taking into consideration Tyra wants these girls to have something besides modeling to fall on…she would be a good choice. Thank bob that little snit Eboni is gone, she annoyed me.

    Off the top of my head, I can only think of one model who launched successful singing and acting careers: Mark Wahlberg. There are plenty of models who became famous actresses, though (Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Candace Bergen, Brooke Shields, etc.).

    I thought it was awesome that Tyra made both girls leave and didn’t let 30-never stay just because Legs wanted to leave. (Sorry, I can’t remember their names and now that the recaps are on multiple pages, I can’t scroll up to look).

    I don’t understand how girl-with-the-pink-hair’s hair keeps on changing from bright pink to white to light pink. When did they film the private interviews??

    I really dislike the judge that was also on The Hills, I think Kelly. She is always so bitter. The attitude she treats the girls with is almost like she is taking out a life time of jealousy against them. Also, Tyra and the other judges keep telling the girls things they need to learn and work on, should they be helping/teaching them these things? These are girls that are just trying to start in the industry. In earlier seasons the photo shoots all revolved around different aspects of modeling things you need to know (working your angles, make-up, etc). Now they just seem to be going for the weird and extreme.

    Why are the recaps on multiple pages? I thought that you decided to change the format a while ago, and it definietly worked better (single page)…anyhoo…
    I can give you 2 names of models becoming famous actresses: Cameron Diaz and Charlize Theron.
    I am sure it can happen. However, can you give me 1 name of famous MODEL who become famous because of ANTM??? It is a stupid show produced only to make Tyra and her sidekicks more marketable. The girls are just meat, puppets used for the show. They make some money, gain a little publicity, but at the end of the day, as evryone points out, where are those renowned Cover Girl commercials. I have never seen even one!!! It is BS…
    Honestly, I don’t even watch the show. I read the recaps to laugh at Tyra’s facial expressions. and to look at the kitty porn.Tyra thinks she is IT. Gurl, you ain’t all that and a bag of potato chips…

    All the former model turned actor are male. While I have seen female model in movie and on television shows, they are usually horrible…i.e Tyra and Eva the Diva. But, never the less I think Grace Jones should have played Storm in the X-Men movie instead of short ugh Halle Berry.

    Kelly is such a massive hater. @Luscious, loved your bad photos of the self-absorbed “Oh poor me’s”. Hehe.

    I think Laura is going to win. Boo. She’s an odd one in the sense that she’s trashy & unattractive. Even gross, really (IMHO), but she photographs well.

    The challenge actually pissed me off because I thought Anneliese kicked ass.

    awesome recap!! Thanks so much! what an episode… I am going to miss Alisha! I am NOT going to miss Eboni!

    yesterday, I bought a tiny saddle and mini sombrero to put on the cats in their next photo shoot. They better smize and give me good angles, if they know what’s good for them. (i miss my babies so much!)

    See you next/this week!

    ^ She doesn’t count though because she was never a very good or commercially successful model.

    I just had to pause at “This time it happens for sure.” because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t read.
    You are cracking me up! Okay, back to reading.

    I’m going to defend Laura a bit. I think it’s unfair to say someone is “sleeping her way to the top” when she hasn’t, you know, actually slept with anyone.

    Saying you would sleep with a famous person is not the same as trying to seduce them. I want to sleep with Edward Norton. Quick! Someone tell me that I’m sleeping my way to fame!

    I hate that Alicia/Alisha quit. She kept ending in bottom two but Tyra always saved her. I can’t believe she would just give up so close to the end. I am glad that Ebony/Eboni went home, as it was way past her time.

    Thank you so much for the recap! My stomach was hurting from laughing so much. I loved the photo captions, especially the rhyming ones.

    I can’t wait to see the photos from the kitty photo shoot.
