It’s tomorrow, no one seems remotely hungover, and they already get more Tyra mail. “Tomorrow, your dreams will come true.” So they’re going to jump onto the top of a giant ampitheater shell and then fall off it? Or watch a boy fall off a stuck roller coaster? No, those are MY dreams coming true? Good, I think this show is rated to include some younger viewers. No one needs to see my actual dreams coming true.
The girls know something I don’t, because they all shriek to shit about this thing. Oh, they know it’s about the Dream Come True fragrance? How?! I read magazines. I’m on The Facebook, just like the kids these days. How come I’ve never heard of this shit?
There’s Jay Manuel! He gives a pep talk about being so close to the final two–and the winner. Laura talks tough about how she wants to win. I hate these interviews and edits.
Anyway, this shoot IS for that perfume, and the campaign will sell the fragrance around the world. So they better bring it. I Google it to see if the new ad is running yet…nope! Still that Sandra Bernhardt chick from last year.
So the girls will need to be shot while inside a gigantic perfume bottle. And the goal is to be youthful and fresh and joyful. Laura’s never really done well with that, so i wonder how this is going to go for her. At least she doesn’t have to walk! The makeup artists are mumbling and I can’t understand what they’re saying to each model. Something about Annaliese’s makeup being light and something about a wind machine in Laura’s hair? Why aren’t we getting subtitles now?
Oh, then the guy who came up with Dream Come True is there, so he’ll be watching the whole shoot. So now the girls gotta be extra professional and maybe a little kiss-assy. He’s got a bit of a Kermit voice and I’m already annoyed by him. He’s talking about how perfume ad imagery needs to be really strong and captivating. Actually, I don’t buy perfume based on how the ads look, guy. I buy it based on how it smells. I can already tell that Dream Come True smells like ass-kissing and teenage girls.
Laura’s all freaked out because she’s got such a hard edge (she thinks) and doesn’t know how to be girly and frilly, talking about burning her Barbie’s heads when she was a kid. So how’s she going to pull this off, wearing a pink dress and having to be all light?
Sophie seems to be doing really well with the shoot, which is not a surprise. Her energy is good, her eyes are light, and she’s taking direction from the photographer well. Jay feels good about it. ugh, the pressure of having Kermit there to critique you while you work and as soon as you’re done. Like, Sophie looked great! And he’s like, “There was some repetitiveness. But there were some good things.” “Oh, okay, thanks!’ Ugh.
Annaliese’s hair looks STUPID. What’s with the smushed down part and the mullet-y afro? It’s horrible. I’ll be surprised if she gets a good photo out of this. OH! They put it up into a ponytail once she got in the perfume bottle, phew. Much better. The photographer’s a little frustrated because Annaliese was so bubbly when she was getting briefed before the shoot, but then she turned dull inside the bottle. Like, forced weird faces and yuckiness. You can tell she knows it’s the end for her, she’s totally dejected.
But then Kermit gives her another pep talk, telling her that her smile and laugh is totally illuminating, to work with that. So she laughs to herself for the final shots. Which reminds me of my boyfriend–I mean, fiance–when we take photos together. To get a natural smile, he laughs to himself and it’s so silly. I love it.

Congratulations!
I was sad to see Annaliese go, but I wasn’t surprised. I don’t really like anyone left. I do like Sophie better than Laura, so I guess Sophie for FTW.
As stupid as it seems to have a British person win AMERICA’S Next Top Model, I can’t stand Laura so I hope Sophie wins. Laura’s so whiny…she’s too hardcore to be “pretty” all of a sudden?
And I have to agree with SexyPanda about Kelly. Girl looks ROUGH. She reminds of the semi-goth girl with questionable hygiene that sits in the back corner of the classroom in high school. How on earth do these people become such high rollers in the fashion industry? I didn’t get Andre Leon Talley either with his stupid choir robe he used to wear. How is that fashion?? He wore the same damn thing every day!
First of all, SexyP, WHOA MOMMA! Quite the rock, my dear. Yay you.
Now on to reading.
How awesome for you SexyPanda! Congrats!
Congratulations, Panda! Have fun with the wedding, and have even more fun being married
You’re man sounds awesome, especially the self-laugh part. Too cute!
That’s *your* not you’re. Ugh.
Cograts, Ms. Panda…soon to be Mrs. Panda!
I absolutely fell inlove with Annaliese during this episode. She was really shining, and I’m sad she got the boot.
I think Annaliese got a bum deal. Her gorgeous mahogany skin looked oddly contrasting with that pale pink sleeveless dress. They should have had her in a gown with long, tight sleeves and a deeper color. the pale pink looked pretty on the uber pale girls with the white-blonde hair, but dammit it’s just not right (IMHO) that Annaliese got saddled with the same color even though it was not complimentary. Grrr.
Sophie was just a touch cocky for my taste this episode, but she’s okay. Laura is just out there but takes great photos. Sigh. I guess I’ll be okay with whomever wins.
I’m assuming that next week will be the requisite recap/unseen footage episode and the finale will be on the 30th. Usually the last episode consists of the top 3 girls, with one getting kicked off in the middle, followed by the fashion show and crowning of the “winner.”
Sophie better win. I can’t stand Laura. I’m ever so sick of her playing the “I had to grow up fast because my parents were alcoholics” card. I don’t think she’s pretty, I don’t think she’s commercial, I think her personality is completely boring and grating, she’s not relatable and comes across as fake (remember that anti-bullying PSA? God, she sucks).
Annaliese did indeed get the raw deal. Having one Brit and one Yankee in the top 2 was probably the plan from the very beginning. And she booked three of her go-sees while lame Laura only booked two, but whatever. Sophie better win, because she deserves it.
Congrats! I’m meh about both finalists. Sophie was a mean girl in BNTM but has hidden bitcherella quite well this season. Shame Annelise had to go.
Congratulations SP! Beautiful ring! And the kitties look thrilled with their gifts.
I can’t stand Laura. Sophie for the win.
Thanks for the recap!
Congratulations! Your ring is beautiful.
BSL, you and the others had much classier comments about the ring. Ah well. I’ll take lessons *giggle*
Most of us were on Team Annaliese, and did anybody like Laura? From the start? Grrrrr.
Didn’t see BNTM, so didn’t see Sophie’s being mean. Hope she wins.
Yay, Sexy Panda! Congratulations to you & soon to be Mr. Panda!
Annaliese was robbed!
I hope we’ll see more of Annaliese. We probably will, actually, since the losers always seem to do better than the winners. When was the last time you saw McKey in anything? And yet Analeigh has had a couple high-profile roles in “The Green Hornet” and “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” I always thought that Analeigh should have won, but she seems to have done better by not winning . . . which is usually the case. So even though I want Sophie to win over the should-have-been-sent-home-7-episodes-ago Laura, maybe Laura should win so that Sophie will have more opportunities.
Nah, that would just piss me off.
Congrats, Panda!!! So excited for you!
Hypno, ever think of joining the Survivor crew? With strategic thinking like that you should go far.
But I would be really bummed, too, if Laura were to win. Ugh.
Also, Teyona. I mean, Teyona? Really? I forget that she was an ANTM winner all the time. Allison’s gotten a lot more recognition and work than Teyona. So, yeah. Runners-up usually fare better than winners, especially since the winners have, for the most part, considerably underperformed compared to those who do not win (Whitney, anyone? Girl was in the bottom two FOUR g.d. times). And freaking Katarzyna has done TONS of crap, way more than Whitney. God, I take this way too seriously . . .
I apologize. I have a weird and fascinating relationship with this show that borders on obsessiveness and daily checking of Amazon.com to see if they’ve added more cycles to their on demand section. (So far I haven’t broken down and bought that all-star crap. I’m proud of myself.)
Congrats SexyPanda!!
@snowshoecat, we can be low class together because I was thinking the same thing about the rock LOL.
It’s sad to see Annelise go, but she’ll be okay. Even if modeling doesn’t pan out the way she wants it to, she’ll have a great career as a television personality. Maybe she’ll even be able to host stuff in the U.S. now that she’s a recognizable face here. She should call up MTV and see if they need VJs or correspondents.
If there’s any justice in the world, Sophie will win. Her photos haven’t been as strong as Laura’s, but Sophie is much more versatile, she presents herself better, and she will be the first ANTM winner to actually do something in the modeling world because she has proven that she will be able to book modeling jobs.
It’s interesting to hear that she’s a bitch though. Seeing as how she was so ugly and gawky as a kid, I wouldn’t expect that from her.
You know – if you had to judge a company by it’s owner, how the hell would Kelly Cutrone get any business? She has not one iota of fashion sense. Between her ratty hair and the military tent clothes, she looks like a homeless person!
Doesn’t Laura realize she’s a shoe-in? Will they let a Brit win AMERICA’S Next Top Model?
And can somebody PLEASE tell me why the hell a model would want a recording contract? Do they award a modeling contract on American Idol?
