London? Pshaw. They should have given em a trip to LAGUNA!

My preferred order of demise:

Lisa - I hate the old crow.
Kim - sorta cute, but not a real model.
Bre - nice, but not into it enough.
Jayla - cute, but Chiclet teeth don't work.

After that, I don't care. Nik has the sickest body of any ANTM contestant ever. Nicole is very plain jane, but takes great pictures.

And trust me, when you live in CT, any LA knowledge is exciting. Esp since it's so close to LAGUNA!

Exxxxcellent recap—and so fast! Your minions appreciate it.

A few things from me this week….

1) Eva won Cycle 3, not 5. (Sorry, I’m anal.) And how is she possibly the “most successful� of the ANTM winners? I know they said that on the show, but maybe they’re just embarrassed of Adrienne. I mean, all Eva has done is… oh, she was on an episode of Kevin Hill. Woo-wee. Adrienne has her own show! That she pitched to VH1 while she was on another show! Suck it, Eva.

2) Ok, how ridiculous was that poster they had to make. You know, I think I remember when I interviewed for the job I have now… they did ask me to bring in a collage. I have mad skillz in collaging from cutting up Seventeen in eighth grade, which is how I got this job.

3) Thanks for the extensive blow-up doll research! It will save me many work hours of websurfing to find the perfect doll for me. Oh—and if you could add a screen shot of Tyra’s blow-up doll impression, that would be AMAZING.

4) I can’t figure out how they get away with dogging catalog models so much. I mean, how many millions of Victoria Secret catalogs has Tyra been in?

I know she won't but I want Nicole to win. LOVE HER. And Kim.

The house was the same one from "Amish in the City" (I recognized the pool). I'm watching waaaay too much reality t.v. lately...

The missing name is Jason "Wee Man" Acuna.

laguna sucks.

have i said that today??

again, kim won me over for yet another episode. i dont know why.

plus its a shame they werent promoting "oops i crapped my pants" undergarments, because that is lisa's age bracket. sheesh, lisa must be bb6 april's teenage daughter.

Loved the surprise "elimination". I was sure that Jayla was gone.

Lisa is good model, but this time she was thinking too much about the other people around her and not focusing on the picture. That was the worst picture of her. She is so annoying, cant stand her.

Jayla's picture was horrible. If someone was going to be leaving i think it would have been her.

I do really like Nicole, she is very pretty, Nik as well. Kim seems to be doing alot better. It sucks that everyone is going to b!tch her out next week. Like Jayla should even be talking, she is the queen B!tch in that house.

Laterz

I can't remember exactly what her words were, but Bree's commentary on Lisa's whiz was so funny. Totaly straight-faced, something akin to 'If you come to your job and pee there in a diaper at work, you have no class." Her delivery ("I hate chocolate") is so funny, though I don't think she's trying to be.

Nicole looked like she was really mad that Tyra nearly gave her a heart attack. she deserves it after telling the girls they were going to paris.

I couldn't believe all the hype about Nik's picture. I thought her face was hideous. Her nose looks like a boxer's that has been punched one too many times.
And if I was one of the two psyched out at the end I would have punched Tyra's fat face.

ASHLEY: way to quite! sucked - should have not been on the show.

BRE: UM... everything she sucks she cant be a model! - eleminate her!

CASSANDRA: what an idiot!! why would you eleminate your self STUPID!
CORYN: -
1) should have never been on the show.
2)isn't antm only for girls?
3)cant be a model!

DIANNE: TO FAT

EBONY: she looks like a horse, she's so UGLY!

JAYLA: shes so hurting - she needs extra attention -forreal!

KIM: antm is only for girls

KYLE: there was nothing wrong with kyle lol- she was tall pretty can model --- SHE SHOULD OF WON ANTM!!! I SWEAR!!

LISA: cocky bi- atch!

NICOLE: she so ugly- shes so pale!

NIK: WINNER OF ANTM -LOL, NOTHING BAD TO say about her. her nd kyle are my favorite!

SARAH: she just sucks nd cant model!

Nik and Bre are my favoirte.
Jayla that ugly ass B-itch gotts to go. Nicole is okay
Kim is funny as shiz her lesbian ass, Lisa that b-itch is NASTY. SHE just want attention.

typo challenge, people!
who ever finds the accidental ethnic slur in the recap wins a cookie

Aw, nothing on last week then. There was some good stuff. Nice to see a kinder, gentler Coryn. And gave me some sympathy for Jayla having to listen to the non-stop shrieking in the house.

Seriously, who gives a rat's ass about Eva. It's not like it's Gisele or something.

Anyway, I'm rooting for Nik. I've always liked her, but she seems the clear front runner now.

Kim amazingly took a decent picture (didn't care for that pinup one last week), and has started wearing heels to the panel, but I'm not convinced. And her body is not great, kinda lumpy and slouchy.

Nicole is prissy and pretty much useless. Comes across all sweet, but is one of the worst for saying nasty stuff behind the other models' backs. Besides, seeming to have an IQ of about 70 (blind birds last week, 3rd-grade collage this week).

Jayla, cute but not exactly striking, I think her features are too delicate or something. Besides possibly being a sociopath.

Bre, hm, liking her more and more, and she does seem genuinely lovely. Maybe, but I think still lacks edginess.

Lisa, still love you... just, but my god, chill the f*ck out.

Am excited by next week's scenes. I've noticed Kim does a lot of trash-talking, interesting to see how that plays out.

The typo occurred with the unfortunate misspelling of the word "like," instead starting it with the letter "k." They are, after all, adjacent on the keyboard. Oops.

Loved the blowup doll picture comparison. Very funny.

I thought that making both of those girls think they were eliminated was one of the meanest things I've ever seen. But also, VERY FUNNY.

I thought Tyra's blowup doll face was even better. Was anyone else a little suspicious of Tyra's proficiency in pulling that face.

And yeah, faking the girls out like that was superMEAN, but wonderful. They deserved it. Wouldn't have been entertaining at all if it'd been Bre or Nik.

How anyone can still like Lisa after what she pulled this last episode.. is beyond me.
She is seriously a fricking attention whore nutcase.
If you are SO frickin starved for attention that you'd actually piss in a diaper IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.. INLUDING THE CAMERAS... then something is seriously seriously wrong with you.
That was just the most disgusting thing I've ever seen (well not seen since they didn't show it).
That was just STANK and I hope her attention whore ass goes home soon.

I was SO hoping Jayla was going to get eliminated. Her picture is just terrible.
I know we're not all perfect but her big ass ears and the blowupdoll look she had along with her body pose was beyond aweful.

I thought Nicole looked really great in her makeup and hair. She sorta reminded me of Adriana Lima. Very pretty.

And yeah... I liked Kim's pic the best this week.

Eva quite possibly is the most successful ANTM winner. I have actually seen her in magazines.. she is still actually making money for MODELING. Adrienne quit, does reality tv.. Yoanna hosts that 30 minute makeover show on STYLE, and Naima, I assume, is still modeling, but doesn't get as much press as EVA.

There you have it. Eva is STILL the DIVA.

As far I can see, Lisa and Jayla have the advantage. Tyra likes her Top Models to have names that rhyme with "Tyra".

There was Naima, and before that there was Eva, and before her there was Yoanna. The only exception is Season 1, where the only girl there who had the name advantage (Tessa), squandered it be being so bad they kicked her off first, leaving the field wide open for Adrianne Curry.

how can you choose laguna over london. Sure our weather sucks(im british but have lived in california) but at least with have diversity and culture. Please have your reality show about TEENAGERS with passes itself off as the real life oc. Im curious has there ever been another tv show that has so blatantly ripped off another one. I cant think of any right now.
(i do admit that the british version of antm blows)

I just read this morning that Lisa has just been cast in an off-Broadway production of Urinetown.

I think that it was great at the end when Tyra tricked them into thinking they were both going to be eliminated..Thats good TV!

Lisa is such a freak, who would pee in a diaper on national TV?

I honestly don't even know who I want to win, none of them really do it for me.

I liked Eva when she was on the show but she seemed like she had this cocky additude like, "oh Im so cool, im famous, la de dah". It was kind of annoying.

Great recap but if I have to read another reference to an LA restaurant, et al I'm going to toss my computer out of my Chicago window which sits 20 floors above a lovely restaurant on the Mag Mile that serves great burgers. Nice place to eat but fantastic for networking too. But I digress.

Loved this ep. Lisa is my girl and makes me fall out laughing and I felt really bad when she realized that she doesn't have any friends in the house. But it was classless when she pissed her diaper. Sheesh girl stop trying to please everyone.

Props to the Jayla-love doll comparison. I thought "no the judges didn't go there on national tv". Ballsy Bankable.

I was gobsmacked when Ms. Bankable eliminated both girls. And flabbergasted when she April fooled them. Poor Nicole couldn't stop crying. i'm sure she'll have nightmares on this way into her eightees.

Over all I think all the pictures were horrible except for Bre and the girls were very bad in the Medina interview so I'm glad everyone got another week to prove themselves.

T (#22)

I agree. I see Ms. Eva the Diva all over the place. Mags & TV (eps & award shows). She is without doubt the most successful ANTM. Followed by IMHO Ticarra. I see her face all over too, in Target & TV shows.

Love Eva.

I can't say I like Nicole. I'm not sure what it is, but she bugs the hell out of me.

It just came to me. Go to a mirror, put your index finger on the tip of your nose and push up. I've never dug that look.

Should've eliminated them both.

Am I the only one that actually likes Lisa? Yeah, she's a bit of a freak...ok, she's a total wack job, but she's the best model they have there. I hate commercials, but I would have bought Secret after seeing her advertisement. And exactly how old is "old"? Tyra must be up there in the age bracket, and she's still amazing.

Personally, I'm glad that next week Kim the she-male will be finally called out for all that gossip. She acts like she's so damn friendly and trustworthy, but will jump on anybody to make herself look like the hero. Anybody ever seen "The Music Man"? Remember the song "Pick a little, Talk a little"? That's all I can think of when I see Kim talking about anything!

I don't get the whole fascination with Nicole thing by so many people. Her teeth are as big as floor tiles, people. NOT PRETTY.

J-unit--great recap, impressingly thorough, i forgive you for taking last week off, also feel free to throw in more tidbits about LA

kim--i have such a cruch on her, she is really improving
nicole-so whiney, i don't she she has the drive for this competition
nic- she has got to get the spokesperson thing down if she wants to progress
lisa- she belongs on stage, or in a circus, somewhere where there is an understood barrier between her and the public
jayla-fugly
bre- not impressed, love her voice, but she doesn't do anything for me
overall, i don't see a real frontrunner, this season will hopefully pick up once in london

i have to say, those girls looked totally confused, crushed and mentally ripped apart by Tyra's elimination-no-wait-you're-going-to-london stunt. that was like top reality TV - nicole's lower lip was out so far you could have hung jackets on it. loved loved loved it.

i am gonna have to say lisa is too confident and will not make it to the end. i think it's going to come down to kim and bre. who wants to bet five bucks?

I'll put a 5-spot on Kim, though I don't necessarily have a cruch on her. As a matter of fact, I don't even know what a cruch is...though it sounds dirty.

It's not that Lisa IS old.. cause 24 isn't anything if you're looking good.... it's that she LOOKS old.

ha ha, no time for spellcheck, with all this 'work' i'm doing, but i agree with lisa, antm lisa looks old, the smoking, boozing, tanning is keeping her from having that 'fresh' look,

anyone been watching antm week on upn, i have only caught kim on veronica mars, because of my cruch ya' know?

I never get this... I think Lisa looks fine, her skin looks great, she just looks more like a woman than a girl and I reckon she looked more or less the same when she was 18. In any case, she looked freaking AMAZING in that pinup shot last week. Er, not so much this week.

Linda Evangelista always looked much older than she was to great effect. Though given the whole Elle Girl slant, I can see how that look is probably not ANTM material.

Oh god, please, anyone but Kim. But I've been feeling over the past few weeks like there's a fix on for her (Oh, let's have a lesbian win this time, that'll get attention). I'll cry.

No offense intended. I wouldn't pass spellcheck judgements with too much maliciousness because I'm usually spelling everything wrong while trying to post, do a half-assed job and not spill coffee (again) under my laptop. I hear ya. Viva la cruch!

chronic,

great point about Lisa's look. She has "harsh" features, which aren't necessarily bad, though compared to Pillsbury doughfaced Kim, stand out as a bit severe. Linda Evangelista is a great comparison...and a wack-job ta boot.

I am a straight girl with such a crush on Kim. She reminds me of Joshua Jackson (Pacey). Maybe it's just me....

Eva is DEFINITELY the most succesful of the winners, and almost definitely NOT straight - has no one else heard the rumors of her dating Missy Elliott? They had a big relationship thing going on.

Love Eva, love Tocarro - like the above poster said, they're the only 2 I ever see.

And btw....Lisa is insane. Her and Jayla are both just ugly, to me.

Erin and Chronic,

I still really like Lisa. In fact, I encouraged her past behavior that pissed of so many of her roommates. She's great, but she did some things this week that were pure attention grabbing and I think she deserved the backlash.

Oh god, please, anyone but Kim

I KNOW

I thought Kim should have been gone awhile ago because she hasn't been impressive, but she is here now and the pictures she had over the last couple of weeks, she probably deserves to stay.

Post #2 - Empress Mimi -
J-Unit did say that Eva was on Cycle #3.

GREAT re-cap and so timely...Thank you!!!

Did anyone notice how Mr. Jay was LOOSIN' IT over Kim's dress getting wet at the shoot? I felt so bad for him...POOR JAY!!!

Also, it seemed to me, the Veronica Mars girl, was TOTALY hitting on Kim...offering to read lines...any time...sounds like Kim did some NETWORKING of her own.

Tyra should have saved some money and let Jayla and Nicole go home. They are the weakest. Nicole's face was PRICELESS at the eliminations.

A thought....Cassandra...going back to pagents...isn't it a no no to describe your self as a sociopath? It actualy sounds like a made for TV movie...Ms. America contestant kills over a haircut....MUAHAHAHA

Oh I totally agree about Lisa, J-Unit. Let the record show, I think pissing yourself in depends in front of people and on camera is definitely NOT cool!

I did feel for her though, having the girls trashtalk her just for having the good sense to talk to industry people, rather than just sit around whining about it.

But yeah, just hoping that she stops embarrassing herself. Hm, probably not gonna happen.

#28 & #29 put me down for five bucks. Kim actualy looked good on that TV spot without the rooster thing on her head. Must be a cruch.

kim=joshua jackson, i kinda see it...

on kim...at first she couldn't walk, and posed with that one open mouth look, but she has progressed, plus her college ed at wesleyan(?) def. helps her out in the public relations
i hope they don't break her spirit and newfound confidence with all that fighting next week, she looked so hurt..

Adrienne wasn't considered successful because she never got that contract with revlon or whatever because it fell through (tyra blamed upn for that) and because she hasn't done much high fashion modeling or anything else, really only the lingerie bowl (which trishelle did so you know its nothing big) and surreal life(trishelle also did so again nothing big).

joanna i would say is most successful as far as fashion is concerned, shes been in several mags, several catwalks, had her own show on fashion..etc..

eva has done some things but not nearly as much as joanna has.

i still love the show but find it more of a joke. the winner, really doesn't win a thing.

most of the models after the show go off and still do modeling on thier own.

Okay, I live for this site and the recaps of Laguna, TAR, and ANTM. Never disappointed! But this is the first time I've felt the need to comment. Did anyone else notice that Kim said while on the set of Veronica Mars, in regards to acting, that she'd never done it??? After she said in her interview with Bennie that she had acted a ton in college. Makes me think she lied to Bennie, which is pretty awesome and makes me respect her more!

I noticed that bold-faced lie too!

Part of the reason Kim aced the VM interview was because she stated that she had done some acting before.

Cut to Veronica Mars set:

Kim: I'm so nervous because I'VE NEVER ACTED BEFORE.

Bravo Pillsbury...you've got my vote.

aww man, i missed the last 10 minutes, apparently the best part of the show!! oh well, i guess i'll have to wait another 4 days till the rerun episode airs.

alrights lets see...

ok jayla's picture was not very flattering. and why hasn't she been eliminated yet??

i think lisa enjoyed pissing herself. that was just absolutely nasty what she did.

nicole has grown on me a little but she still looks very immature. she does kind of look like a model, but twiggy is right, she needs to take herself more seriously. otherwise her pictures won't have much depth.

kim has yet to impress me, although i'm curious about how the rest of her pics will turn out.

actually, i haven't been impressed by any of them. but right now nik and bre are still my favorites. but bre needs to get some edge and nik needs to become better at speaking in front of the camera for crying out loud. come on girls, step it up a little!

It's odd that as beautiful as she is, I keep forgetting about Nik. She's by far the most "classically gorgeous" girl on the show. She unfortunately gets pushed to the background by secret-stealers and public-pissers. Hopefully she'll get a show or two in the spotlight before this is all over.

On the public-pissing note, did anyone else at least chuckle at Lisa's mask and wig performance? I mean, the accent and the "eat a cookie" thing made me simultaneously laugh out loud and lock my doors. These little girls have no sense of humor. One would think you'd need it in the world of modeling. That, and a giant case of blow.

Did anyone else think that at times when Lisa dressed up, she looked like an even more broken down version of Coryn? haha I thought it was uncanny! I would love to see a comparison!

Ann from Season 3 also has a really successful runway career, because she was always gorgeous and could walk and was tall and had a great body-she just couldn't take pictures for shit.

To be honest, this is the first season of ANTM when I haven't had a feel for who's going to win. I kind of like a few girls (Kim, Bre, Nik sometimes, Jayla sometimes) but I really just cannot stand Lisa.

People who "progress" always seem to do incredibly well in this competition. Based on that, Kim and Bre are sitting pretty as of right now.

jayla really needs to go, i hate how she talks, with her gummy mouth and overenunciating everything.

i just think bre is so adorable! hopefully she will get some more confidence and edge near the end here.

Ok, does everyone have to spell crush like "cruch"...im not that crazy about spelling but come on people!

secret-stealers and public-pissers

hahahahahahahahahahahahh ha ha

oh so right.

Did anyone also noticed that the guys were trying to talk Lisa out of pissing in her diper.? (I feel dirty just writing it).
That's realy something, when your actions are too much for the Wild Boyz.

ME, I think I have a cruch on you, for being such a busy spelling bee.

When are they going to send Jayla home???? I can not stand her she is sooooooo fake and she is not pretty enough for ANTM!!! They should have kept Kyle and sent Jayla back to whare she came from!!!!

Eva is not the most well known person form the show, but she IS the most successful model from the show. The other girls are doing other stuff.

ok
now that we've had fun with our ANTM fix. how about a quick recap of TAR & Survivor. I'm having withdrawal syndromes already.

I am with you on that ANTFan

ASHLEY: way to quite! sucked - should have not been on the show.

BRE: UM... everything she sucks she cant be a model! - eleminate her!

CASSANDRA: what an idiot!! why would you eleminate your self STUPID!
CORYN: -
1) should have never been on the show.
2)isn't antm only for girls?
3)cant be a model!

DIANNE: TO FAT

EBONY: she looks like a horse, she's so UGLY!

JAYLA: shes so hurting - she needs extra attention -forreal!

KIM: antm is only for girls

KYLE: there was nothing wrong with kyle lol- she was tall pretty can model --- SHE SHOULD OF WON ANTM!!! I SWEAR!!

LISA: cocky bi- atch!

NICOLE: she so ugly- shes so pale!

NIK: WINNER OF ANTM -LOL, NOTHING BAD TO say about her. her nd kyle are my favorite!

SARAH: she just sucks nd cant model!

i agree with sara. let me tell you, if they don't get rid of jayla soon, i'm going to lose my effin' mind.

between her bullshit backstabbing attempts, and her weak facial expressions, i'd rather watch a dead cat on strings model haute couture. i'd rather watch someone with real talent act snotty.

it's funny to me that many of the girls suffer from confidence issues, but the one girl - AHEM LISA - that seems to have the ugliest face AND personality is full of confidence. i'd like to see lisa strung up by a mob of the remaining contestants during a final retribution for the peeing, drunken shenanigans, and constant "mean girl" attitude.

hahah who knew you could become so bitter about people you've never met?

I just spat Tahitian Treat all over my keyboard at the "dead cat on strings model haute couture" comment. Friggin brilliant.

So help all our ugly asses if they ever make 'America's Next Top Office Worker.' Lisa & Jayla would have a field day.

Hey whatever else you can say about Lisa, and I'd say she's a mess more than she's mean, at least she says whatever she's going to say to your face. And most of what she says is not nearly half as bad as the nasty behind-your-back comments that come out of Kim and Nicole's mouths on any given day. Jayla of course is in a league of her own.

That picture of Jayla just emphasized those Hobbit ears. I'm not feeling her at all.

Loved Bre this week! I loved her reaction to the Wild Boyz - "I don't know who raised them..." She is too cute and I loved her late-night chocolate commercial.

But Nik is still my favorite. Loved her pic and oh-my-god that body.

I see Yoanna all the freaking time in the city, right around the area where all the modeling agencies are. She must be getting some work.

Lisa should hook up with Johnny Fairplay and do infomercials for adult diapers. Hot!

kim should have been eliminated...shes ugly and cant model.

AND nicole and jayla should be eliminatedd

lisa ya crazy but that what makes it more FUn to watchhhhhhhhh

recap is really weird !!!! and didn't flow well.

wait await --sorry i change my mind nicole shouldnt be eliminated

TraderZed - I was thinking the same exact thing about Lisa looking like Coryn when she made herself up. heheh

I think Bre is the cutest especially in that picture they show at the end where someone always disappears - she looks just adorable with her bangs. And her chocolate commercial had Nigel swooning off into fantasy land. I bet you he was glad they had a table blocking his lap cuz I'm imagining there was quite a show of appreciation for her going on under that desk.

Has anyone else noticed the awkward pose Kim strikes whenever they line up to face the judges or line up to find out the next challenge? She does this awkward hand on hip, bent knee, lip pucker - trying so hard to be girly and failing pose. It's just so forced and silly looking.

Great recap as always J-Unit.

omg! nik looked sooooo kewl in her pic!! she could win xcept 4 da fact that she's way too shy n stuttered a lot in her AMTA chocolate "commercial". as for lisa...she's DEFINATELY not gonna be america's top model. that would be an embarrasment to America for showin that it's model is a crazy drunkee! she peed in a diaper!! what kinda model is dat?!?!?

I Missed this episode i want to see the wild boys!!!!!!!!!

No clip of Bre's phone sex chocolate spiel? Way to let me down, J-Unit. :(

I think Jayla has gained some weight. In last week's episode it looked like she had no neck.

I hate that I share the same name as America's Next Top Brigitte Nielsen. Seriously, she is going to be on the Surreal Life, like, tomorrow. And I would bet money she will recreate her diaper scene. Christ.

I was SO PISSED that Jayla and Nicole weren't going home-- I was screaming with delight at the idea of their both being gone next week. They both SUCK. Feh!!!

Kim is sooo boring... she really does have a pasty Pillsbury look about her, with no definition in her face at all. Don't get the appeal.

I love Nik, I hope she emerges from the pack the way my girl Naima did last cycle. She is just so uniquely gorgeous and seems relatively sane, but I have to say Bre is definitely growing on me with her deadpan commentary about Lisa.

One last question-- who else thinks Lisa is a DEAD RINGER for circa late '80s COREY HAIM????

I thought that the house they shot at looked familiar too, for some reason it had me thinking of "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" (b/c of the entryway) but I watched the show at midnight so I could have imagined it. Great recap!!

Love Kim and Nicole. HATE Jayla. Lisa's annoying.

Good recap.

Lisa-everyone just hates on lisa because she has a funny personality and no one can relate to her
Kim- takes very good photos and all but she still iis lacking in the feminine area .

everyone else is pretty good except for the girl with the long hair she is very childish she has a horrible mouth and is not attractive at all i think she should have been cut .

and i hate them stupid bitches that be going in the confessional talking aout every one and they aint no better
