I hardly ever have watched this show before but I saw this last night so now I *have* to watch it every week. Funny recap, more screencaps next time please? :) That Renee was driving me crazy, and Jael too, I hope they go soon.

Nice recap -- (but I'll echo comments on other threads: too many page breaks).

I was hoping the Alabama girls would make more of an impression. But Samantha is just kinda there so far, and Dionne didn't really do it for me.

Good recap, but I'm going to agree with Jeebo--screencaps would be so good, especially when you're talking about the models' pictures.

Thanks for stepping up and taking over where J-Unit left off - you're right, they're big shoes, but your recap was great!

Same request as above though - on a show about modeling, it's the screencaps that I find the most fun! Any chance you could include them next time?

Great recap. I loved the juxtaposition of Tyra on SI with the Harvard-Yale program. Before I read the surrounding text, I thought you were equating the two because the program was from 1922 and that's about the last time Tyra was relevant as a model.

Kathleen and Natasha are the greatest gifts Tyra has ever given us. It has taken 8 cycles but finally ANTM gets that it is no longer about being a model. It is all about the crazy. Also, I loved how the only two English phrases Natasha knew were, I love you and hello, my name is Natasha. PS - gentle giant is pure gold.

Needs screencaps - otherwise a good start to the recaps. Couple of snigger moments for me.

Kathleen was by far my favorite! She was so clueless and cute. She was like a Valley girl from the BK . . .how could you not LOVE her? Her accent was hilarious. She will be missed desperately.

As for the other girls, yeah they leave something to be desired.

Your recap was pretty good . . .it would be cool if you include more screen caps and stuff. J-Unit will be missed, but I definitely think you are on your way to being an awesome replacement.

I liked your recap, pretty much covered all the ridiculousness that is ANTM.

However, can I just point out how silly this photo shoot was... "Pro-meat"? Are there people in the world who are staunchly pro-meat? Are there pro-meat and pro-fur political ads??? Did I miss something? And how come all the "wardrobe" for this shoot looked like Halloween costumes from K-Mart?

I think you did a great job with the recap. I'll echo the above comments and say that I like the screencaps of the photo shoot used for judging.

That Renee was unreal. When Sarah won the first challenge Renee said it "wasn't fair" because Sarah was a photographer and she knew that kind of stuff. Then when Jael won the goodwill thing Renee again said it "wasn't fair" because Jael was used to shopping at thrift stores. WTF.

Also...there is only so much more screaming I can take. Why do these girls have to scream at everything?

Kathleen was my favorite. I'm sorry to see her go. I really was looking forward to her makeover...and I loved her voice. I know, right?

for those of us who don't watch the actual shows, screen caps are appreciated. a picture is worth a thousand words, no?

Cam 24, Post #9 - yes there are pro-meat folks - and campaigns for same. Pork - it's the other white meat, Beef, it's what for dinner, etc. etc.

Pro-fur? i would assume you are pro-fur if you wear it. and remember, fur is murder . . . to clean.

Hey Cam! :D

Staunchly pro-meat=My partner. Loves 'dead cow' for dinner more than anything in the world. I also love a good steak. I'm looking forward to one tonight.

Not "political" ads, but regular ones. Try things like the old "Beef: It's what's for dinner" print ads, and I still see plenty of Blackglama fur ads in high-fashion magazines here and there.

i just had to add this little nitpick (to an overall excellent recap). eva is no longer pigford. she now goes by eva marcille. and i agree that screencaps would be nice. otherwise, i was very impressed. you said everything i was thinking about these girls. i know, right?!

i LOVED Kathleen's hair--i just might have to get a piece just like that one. i liked her, but she's so dumb she gave me a headache--although i'm still laughing about her stupidity at panel. i know right?!

i can't wait to see mail-order bride's makeover--between her, Jael, and Renee i think there will be more than enough bat-shit to go around.

I don't know what they did to Jael's photo but she does NOT look like that!! The "Ducky" handle is dead on.

Meh - J-Unit was better. It was kind of dry, and needed screencaps.

I am so over Tyra Banks. I haven't liked her from the beginning but she is so annoying. You're not Oprah, nor will you ever be so shut up and go away!

These girls suck. Kathleen is literally the dumbest person I have ever seen. Her fur ideas? Kind of gross. And wild animals don't keep their fur clean - it gets matted, full of mud, bloodied up and other such things from nature and fights with other animals. And how would you find them? Just randomly scour the woods every day until you find one, and hope it hasn't been dead too long. Or when you're driving, you can pick up roadkill. I can just see it now: "Hey Dad, pull over, it's a coyote!" "Dibs!" Interesting...

I'm kind of sick of ANTM by now. The girls suck and they're boring and bitchy most of the time. My favorites are Whitney and Diana. They are both beautiful and seem very nice. I hope they go far.

~Georgia~

P.S. Diana is NOT fat. She's what, a 12? A 14? She is beautiful, and she does have perfect proportions. Calling her fatty is not cool. Please don't use such derogatory terms again.

Kathleen was super dumb, I can't believe it was so hard to understand "anti-fur". And I dunno, I laughed at the fatty thing, mostly because I realized that she's really *not* fat. If that makes sense.

Yeah, georgiababe, I of course do not actually think Diana is fat! An uggo, yes, but not fat - that's the joke.

And I hear you all, there will be screencaps galore next week! Thank you for the feedback :)

-Krank

that was a great recap! i was saddened by the loss of J-Unit, but you stepped up admirably!

Your sense of humor and your thoughts were spot-on with mine, please keep up the good work!!

I love "uggo". I've never heard anyone say that before and everytime I see that word I crack up. And as for fatty, I prefer "fatty fatty boom batty". I have no idea...rhyming just makes everything more fun.

I loved loved Kathleen. I wish they would have kept her for the humor.

Why can't ANTM just do regular photo shoots? Why does everything have to be a gimmick? I'm actually watching Australia's Next Top Model on VH1 right now - their first challenge was a straightforward swimsuit photo shoot. No gimmicks.

Did anyone else notice that when they showed Natasha close up at the 2nd elimination (the one outdoors - where they picked the final 13) She looked just like Angelina Jolie with a different color hair?

Good recap.. just needs ALOT more screencaps... specially with this show where image is a big thing.
We need those caps to refresh out minds on who we liked and didn't like :D

AS for me... really sad to see that girl go. She was so clueless but actually really funny and cute to watch.
That one bitchy chick could've gone.. the one with the kid that was just judemental as shit.
That other girl could've gone as well... the uppity one with that ugly short hairstyle that makes her head look HUGE.

I'm just gonna agree with pretty much everyone else here

Screen caps - need 'em

Kathleen - "I know, right?" is my new favorite phrase. I wish she could have stuck around, I was hoping they'd get rid of Natasha or Sarah.

Sarah - speaking of, get over yourself, your photography was subpar at best, and just because you did a fashion show in a basement where someone brought their grammy's vintage Chanel socks does not mean you did a Chanel show.

Okay, I'm done, I love this crazy pointless show to death.

"I know, right", isnt that what Lindsay Lohans character says a lot in Mean Girls?

About Tyra's "stepping", someone needs to tell girl to step off.

The happy California cows have more grace and rhythm.

I thought this was a great recap! i love J-unit and after reading recaps from some of the new tvgasm "talent" I was so worried this would be a let down. Yes there could have been more screencaps, but it was so funny and such a step above certain tvgasm writers who have way too many screencaps and write about their personal lives and are not funny.

Again, this was a great first recap. can't wait to read the next one. Also continued use of uggo and fatty will be much appreciated!

I already miss Kathleen.

Im ashamed to say that I have used the phrase "I know, Right?" for YEARS. I use it when someone says a comment I agree with. I am permanently deleting that phrase from my vocabulary effective immediately. Also, the word "Like". The madness has to stop. Kathleen will be missed.

I think Brittany, Jaslene,Felicia, and Samantha have the most potential. I guarantee one of them will make it to the final three.

Renee needs to be shot and Natasha shipped. She's like Nnenna but much much worse. I never had the urge to run somebody over til I saw her. Uhhh. And Diana does not compare to Diane the plus size model from season 5, where Nicole won. Diane was gorgeous, Diana is fugly. Im glad you came up with a new name for her Krank. I like your recaps keep em coming.

i'm quite late but fantastic recap- totally hit the nail on the head with all the strangeness of the ep. i thought taht whole stomp the yard thing was esp ridic.

I am so sick that Kathleen got cut! I LOVE her!! Jael should have gone home staight up. That girl is FUG and kind of retarded maybe? Sarah is going to get annoying fast. I don't think she is cute at all.
I think Renee is bitter. She is still so young and insecure and I am sure having a kid and a shotgun wedding fuel those insecurities. She is one of the prettiest ones there, I just wish she would stop her bitching. The mail order bride is ratings gold! She is a crazy Russian bitch! And that walk!!!! Ay yi yi!!

With Kathleen gone I don't really care who wins. As long as it isn't Jael or Sarah.

"I know, right? I didn't." BEST LINE EVER!!!

And I would love a piece of Nigel too...and it has nothing with him being tall.
