Queenie also continued to make enemyships with the others during their photo-shoot by pushing past the other girls and hogging mirror time, which set off Prom-Queen Nijah, of all people! At one point Queenie even told her "Shut your mouth!", to which Prom-Queen responded "Oh no, let's not go there!"...

...Queenie must be one talented mega-bitch if she can make placid Prom Queen get like this!...

Nijah always seemed so sweet and boring, where was all this feisty fire from her while she was on the show? We'll get back to that, but right now, remember how when they first got to New York City and they met up with Sex-God and Porizkunty on top of the Empire State Building, and Sex-God handed the keys of the house to MeeMaw, and nobody knew why? Well, it turns out that they had a "visual scavenger hunt" in which the girls were handed a few quarters to use on the pay-per-viewfinders, and a list of three fascinating questions, such as:

#1.) How many eagles are visible on the Chrysler Building?...

VisualHunt041309.JPG

...which would have been my answer...

#2.) How many bridges are in Manhattan?...

VisualHunt2041309.JPG

...here's a hint: they're those long road-y things over the water with lots of cars on them...

#3.) If you drop a penny from the top floor of the Empire State Building and it hits someone on the head below, will it kill them?...

...Fo Ho was hoping Bernie Madoff might have been walking by...

Okay, I made that last one up, they actually asked something about what was going on in Bryant Park right that moment. I would have answered "cocksucking" but I'd have only gotten partial credit. Anyhow, since MeeMaw has lived in New York for the last two years, she got all the questions right and that's why she was handed the keys to the house. Whew! Now we can all get some sleep tonight!

MeeMaw is so impressed by her awesome win (and the amazing prize that she gets to choose first from twelve identical twin beds) that she crows "It is like I have won America's Next Top Model... I'm not even joking!" I'm sure she's not.

Then the girls get to check out their Upper East Side digs, and AmINuts is positively gushing with praise, "I never thought that I would be in a house so beautiful, and actually get to live, and eat here, and sleep, and then wake up, take a dump..."...

...Taking a dump indoors? Now that's fancy-livin'!...

When the girls first gather in the Runway Room they're all chatting and Jessica La Flaca asks which of them are not in college currently. Prom Queen says she's not, prompting Queenie to ask her if she's a "dropout". PQ says no, she never went, and Queenie comes back with "Aren't you plus-sized, too?" Oooooh! In a deadly tone, Prom Queen tells her no, and Queenie responds with "Are you like in the middle, or...?" The other girls' mouths are dropping open, and PQ repeats that she is not plus-sized. Portlie wonders if Queenie is truly evil or if she's just completely tactless. Finally, Prom Queen's had enough and stands up to announce (mostly for Queenie's benefit) that the reason she hasn't been to college is because she just graduated high-school in 2008.

Queenie doesn't like that very much and interviews that Nijah is a bitch, and that "she's too fat and she has, like, stretch marks." Later on, Prom Queen confronts her saying if she wants to know stuff about her there are better ways to ask than being nasty and rude, and I love that she's torturing Queenie with her delicious bagel sammich while they talk...

...I think a certain somebody from Kenya is awfully hongry...

And hey, did you know, back when she was still flying her freak-flag, Anime-Eyes actually used to do artwork during their downtime???...

AllisonArt041309.JPG

...is it just me, or does that look like a bedraggled beat-up Tyra?...

Wouldn't it be eerie if perhaps Anime had psychic powers like that guy on Heroes who can draw the future? Anyhow, we don't really need to rehash the so-called "drama" of the makeovers, both MeeMaw and Fo Ho are boring criers. However, apparently AmINuts and Teyomboy loved their makeovers so much that when they got back to the house they decided to put on a "special" runway show for the other girls, and their true Joisey-Goil-ey-ness came out...

AminatTeyonaStripGif041309.gif

...check out MeeMaw's horrified expression in the bottom of the shot...

Most of the girls just laugh and giggle along, enjoying the fun of it all (perhaps a couple of them are even turned on)... except, of course, Queenie, who interviews that AmINuts and Teyomboy should not become America's Next Top Model because they don't "act like ladies"...

What, no comments yet?

Well, I almost didn't watch this one either, since it's a recap episode. But I had work to do, so I needed something on in the background. And this one had the merit of actually showing lots of new stuff--and especially scenes that are kind of important for the rest of the show (which makes you wonder why they didn't show them on the episodes themselves?).

Weird how there's practically nothing at all about Jesus Freak there. I'm guessing she's smart enough not to provide any reality tv material.

Fo's a very cute crier. She'd definitely win every argument we'd have together.

AnimeEyes seems to have the same vaguely absent personality as McGee. So I pick her to win this thing.

I can't help liking MeeMaw...don't know why. I'm certain she was one of the popular girls who (tried to make) my life miserable in high school (didn't work, I was too wacked out). But I still can't help liking who she is...and if 15-year-olds can make a career modeling clothes for 30-year-old women, then a 25-year-old should be able to make a career for the 50-year-old set, right?

LisaMay:

I'm confused, when did this episode air???? I can't believe I missed it.

sayhuh:

LisaMay, I think this one aired right after the regular episode. I didn't watch it because it was up against Lost and (I think) Bones and there's only so much my DVR can handle, and enough already anyway, and in any case it will be a million times better when what I get is something that has been through J-Mo's wringer. More after I actually read it!

juddfan:

I missed this too, in utter unawared's, but I'm oh so happy to see it all through J-mo's trusty eyes!!!

After last night's new epi, i'm more confused than ever . . . good to have Queenie back for a day, hee, I still think she was the most modelesque in look, maybe in the real world she'll get some work since she's not being edited into a stupid sounding biotch!!! I feel like I'm defending her, but alas, I'd have to care for that!

Have fun J-mo, we'll miss ya!!! xoxoxo and thanks for the tasty and witty bon mot!

pixielated:

I tried to comment last night, Itchy, but I had an early onset senior moment and briefly couldn't remember my password.

I can understand why Tyra egged Meemaw on in trashing the other girls and then shut her down at the panel. The first time, it was general bitchery, which Tyra is always up for, where in the second instance, Meemaw was inserting herself into the 'sacred' judging process. Also, it's one thing to trash your competition behind their backs and another to do it in front of them. That's the whole basis of gossip!

Wow, Meemaw looked better with long hair. I thought that in the posing challenge but this picture just reinforces it.

I wish they'd shoot Anime-eyes in profile for a change; that might give her a different "look." Also, she should show more of that saucy bitchiness that she has in the interviews in her photo shoots.

I like Fo and Teyomboy. Fo is actually much prettier, but Teyomboy will probably win.

TheVoiceOfReason:

LAjane:

Strangely enough, Rich Bitch actually makes the Great Wall look pretty comfy.

Moving on - I hadn't realized just how deep into her nose Queenie was until you slowed it down a little. Plus, the look on her face is pretty priceless. She's *loving* the nose-picking.

LAjane:

Thanks for giving that link voiceofreason! Actually, the snarkier Anime gets the more I like her. She's definitely my favorite contestant.

thatswhatshesaid:

J-Mo: You do such a great job on these recaps!! I couldn't even get through eating my dessert b/c I was laughing so hard! And NOTHING comes in between me and my banana pudding!
I almost didn't watch this Cycle Rewind, but in the end I did. Did anyone else notice that when they recapped the elimination ceremonies, Tyra's opinion of different girls changed? Most noticeable was Anime Eyes. How many times have they complained she gives one face? Especially the last week with the pink paint all over her face. But in the cycle rewind, Tyra just said it came out beautiful. It seemed like she was re-writing history so that when the winner ends up being someone they previously trashed, viewers won't cry foul! But people will cry foul anyway b/c this show is rigged and most people probably didn't see the rewind since it aired right after a new episode.

yentapatrol:

J-Mo you are awesome,

I loved the Anime Eyes cap!! Thanks for recapping the recap epi and managing to make it fun : )

What? No pics from Pride? Sigh!
Heart,
Yenta

PottyMouth:

I didn't know this was on either! Well, it's a win/win for me. I didn't have to sit through it, and I didn't have to sit through it. We all know your recap was FAR better than watching it.

How lucky can a girl get?

J-Mo, I second Yenta's question - where are the pix from Pride? Puh-lease?

SWAK, Pottymouth

arizonatom:

Great recap J-Mo!

Although this epi was filled with a lot of what we already saw, it was nice to see some of the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor - makes it easier to understand some of what we have seen.

Looking forward to the end of this train wreck!

By the way, for the non-Phoenicians, Pride is currently taking place (Sat 4/19-Sun 4/19) so after performing, J-Mo probably hasn't had time to come home from the bar yet. I am sure he'll post pics in the next few days. (I'm just taking a break from the sun and sweat to relax a bit in the A/C - this is Sun and the last I saw it was 96 degrees! Not the 115 we're used to in the summer, but still a bit too early to be that hot!

Lots O' Love
