Sometimes Modeling Is A Real Beach - 
by J-Unit
I have found a fairly comfortable place for myself during these latest episodes of America's Next Top Model. Of the girls that are left over, my favorites are Danielle and Joanie, and I am pretty sure that the two of them are going to be in the final two. Sara really hasn't been in the game long enough to be a threat and if Jade wins, I'll probably jump off of a building or something, so I don't like to talk about that. But I also have come to the realization that my favorite is not always going to win. And I think we all must come to the realization that sometimes the person with the most talent isn't always the person who finishes first in these competition reality shows. Sometimes the producers need a surprise near the end to keep people watching *cough*American Idol*cough*., and sometimes people just have bad days. This week, the Top Models went on their go-sees, and for the ladies and buck-toothed photographer fetishists all over the world, we finally got to see Nigel on the beach.
It was yet another close call for Jade last week. She has been in the bottom two four times and while those may not be Bre-like numbers, they are still pretty bad. Jade still can't figure out why the judges don't like her and can't understand why they think she thinks she knows more than the judges. Oh, I don't know, maybe because your ego is still about twice the size of that chip on your shoulder. You would think that all of those failures over the years, she would have grown slightly humble, but I guess whenever she was feeling down, she can always call on her mother for another fluffing session. When Jade's mom showed up and waved her hands around her daughter, I didn't think it looked like fluffing, but now I understand; it's all about inflating Jade's huge ego.
As nice it as it is to imagine Jade going home, she has shown a great ability to bounce back. The judges only need one thing to kick a girl out, and it may not necessarily be a bad photo. Danielle has been taking great photographs each week, but since part of this competition involves the winner's elevation from Plain Jane to Cover Girl, her thick accent is going to cause her some problems. I still think her look is strong enough to get her to the final two, and I think she has enough talent and personality to do as well as any other girl in this competition afterwards, but I am still a little worried.
The producers didn't really bother to try and make us think Joanie is worried about going home. Joanie's biggest problem, at least after the difficulty she has when she's trying to talk with her new teeth, is Sara. We haven't seen that mean streak from Joanie but she seems to get upset whenever she mentions Sara. She's upset because she believes that Sara doesn't really want to be a model, and it would be stupid if Sara won because the other girls actually care about modeling. I see Joanie's point, but if a girl was found in a mall and is able to win the competition even if she never thought about modeling before then she deserves to win. That being said, I don't think Sara is that girl, so Joanie shouldn't get herself all worked up about it.
