Anime wearily interviews that it's tough for her to talk to Queenie on a "human level" because "She doesn't seem to grasp any situation, really." and goes on to say "Sandra makes me lose hope when I talk to her." Ugh. HATE. Granted, I make fun of Queenie's odd pronunciation from time to time, but all their bitchy little superiority-tripping bullshit is just a little too Cruel Intentions for my taste. Plus, as always, I hate it when they force me side with Queenie.

Enough of that shit, remember when Titsccara joined the girls for their superfun slumber-party? Well, it turns out that Queenie had a bit of a breakdown in the middle of it all. When they asked Titsccara what her first impressions of them were, she pointed out that Queenie seemed closed-off and that she wasn't expressing herself fully, at which point Queenie says "I just feel like I'm misunderstood, 'cuz like in middle school I was, like, picked on a lot, and it was really hard because..." and suddenly she's bawling hysterically! "Like, I was picked on a lot and I feel like I need to stand up for myself!" Titsccara rushes in to give her a sisterly hug...

...while skeptical glances fly about the room...

AmINuts isn't moved by Queenie's sudden emotional outburst, "We were all picked on! Like, give me a break!" and says she feels like Queenie herself has been a bully in the house and needs to calm down. Good point, it's not like Queenie hasn't done her share of picking on the other girls (Hood-Rat, Prom Queen, MeeMaw, etc.) and I think they may suspect that she was performing for Titsccara. If so, then she just beat the shit out of Jesus-Freak for the title of Best Fake-Crier.

However, after she got eliminated for not being able to emote "cocaine on the face" well enough, there is a segment of her exit interview that was completely different from the bitchy-pissed-off hellcat one we saw on the show. Sounding genuinely sad she says "I'm disappointed. I'm going to miss being around the girls, even though I never really talked to a lot of them. I feel like I was more, like, caught up with the whole competition thing and less caught up about getting to make friends. I guess I should have been... you know, the other way around."...

..."but then I would have been totally boring."...

Awwwww, I guess her heart grew three sizes that day! This makes me wonder if this was her original exit interview, and perhaps Tyra & Co. deemed it to be too lackluster and made her film the other one where she went out on a delusional tirade. I wouldn't put it past 'em.

I won't put you all off of your lunches by showing you the inevitable "messy-house montage" (full of rotting fruit and tons of discarded hair-weave on the floor) so let's go in the other direction and talk about the amazingly awesome treat that Cycle 11 winner McKey gave to the girls on the set of last week's Cover Girl commercial...

...CAKE!!!!!...

OMG, I fucking love cake, and now I think I'm in love with McKey. It looks like I'm not the only one, because AmINuts has quite a strong reaction to her as well, telling her "I'ma tell you something... I don't really like chocolate, but for you, I will so eat it... I'm serious!" McKey tells her the cake does have some vanilla layering in it as well, and the thought of all that chocolate and vanilla mixed together in sweet luscious gooeyness makes Nutsy even more excited... "Oh, that's perfect!"

Privately she interviews, "She makes your heart melt 'cuz she's soooo sweet and she's soooo nice." In front of McKey, Nutsy seems to be having trouble keeping her shit together, "I'm kinda nervous a little bit, you made my upper lip sweat... that's a compliment!" McKey giggles just as nervously, "Ohhhh yay... heh heh."...

...I'm telling you, cake-love is nothing to fool with, McKey...

AmINuts is just going on and on, "The girl is beautiful, like uhhhhhhhhhhhh beautiful, the girl is just baaaad." Heyyyy, she forgot to finish with "The girl is dan-geroussss!" Soooo, did Nutsy just come out of the closet here? You make the call.

Otherwise, everything else here was just a rehash of the eliminations of Perky Isabella, Jessica La Flaca, Prom Queen Nijah, Portlie Kortnie, Queenie Sandra and Homegirl Tahlia and here's what we're left with...

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
