This week on Americas Next Top Model, those looking for a Project Runway crossover kinda got their wish! To be honest, I was a little disappointed that Heather versus the world wasn't quite as epic as the previews led me to believe. We also had a close encounter with a creature that nearly sent me to the hospital, as well as some big news! Find out what went down, after the jump...
Hey Ambreal, is that your hand on my thigh?
Lisa! Say it ain't so! What are you doing in the opening scene?! No, it can't be, my strippa sure as hell is not going home before Ambreal, right? Anyway, she tells us she's nervous because she didn't do that well at the last shoot and needs to bring her A game this time around.
Tyra Mail (that was quick, eh?)! Get ready to be schooled. Oooh, I don't know what that's pertaining to but me likey!
The next day the girls arrive at FIDM and meet up with Benny Ninja-Samurai-Scotsman. Why are we wearing so much crazy, Mr. Ninja? He tells them for today's challenge they will pair up with one of the fashion students and will need to be their designer's muse. I smell a Hills crossover, too! Oh, wait, both of those idiots dropped out of school...
Benny is there with Elite Model Management director Neil Hamil. He tells the girls that each of their designers will have to make dresses out of existing dresses that hail straight from the Chico's clearance rack.
Ooh, if only they had that in lime...
Heather is really unhappy about the "blue monstrosity". But really, what did Chico's ever do to you? And since when are you such a snob?
The girls all get paired up and meet with their designers. Lisa gets a glorious little man named Angelo Estrada. The racing stripes shaved into the side of his head really give him a certain je ne sais quois. He is all kinds of sassy and asks her to tell him a little bit about herself. It goes a little something like this....
L- likes to show her legs
I - isn't really sure what else to say...
S- smiles awkwardly because she just realized she's boring
A- actually, likes to draw!
Bianca's designer is a girl named Yuko who dreams up a Cleopatra theme for Bianca. Bianca is not feeling it at all.
Jenah's designer is thinking ballerina for her, prompting Jenah to ask "so, where does the rock star element fit in? Because FYI, I am totally punk."
Back at Bianca's table, Yuko is all over this Cleopatra business. She tells B the setting will be a private beach in the Mediterranean, because Cleopatra doesn't do public beaches. Bitch please, she's the Ptolemaic Queen for crizzakes, she would buy the beach. But Yuko doesn't stop there, and kicks it into overdrive, suggesting "some like, little-big earrings maybe." Brilliant! Maybe we can pair those with some high-heeled-flats, or even a messenger-clutch purse.
Heather is paired with a boy named Justin. He asks her about herself and she tells him, "when I was a kid, my friends would always be water nymphs and I would be air... or fire." Which begs the question, what the shit kind of games were you playing when you were younger? Because it sure beats the crap out of Crab-Apple Tag, where we would throw crab apples at each other from opposite sides of the street (and yes, it's just as painful as it sounds), or Crab-Apple Cricket when Sukemar's family moved onto the block. We had an abundance of crab apple trees...
The girls are sent home so the designers can get to work. Back at the house, the girls all lay around chatting. Bianca says that her pictures are getting better, but she really wants to win a challenge. Ambreal thinks the judges wanted to send her home because they lost their faith in her. Yes, that's it; they've lost their faith in you. It has nothing to do with the fact that they don't think you look like a model. Keep telling yourself that.

Saleisha's haircut makes her look like she could be Dr. Bailey's (from Grey's Anatomy) little sister or daughter. It totally hit me after watching GA on Thursday.

"I hope you're happy, Tyra. You've created a monster. And she wreaks havoc in the nude."
That was the line that made me snort. Seriously.
Oh Pachita, your recaps rock my socks!
Heather was so creepy looking this episode, oy. I'm kind of over her. But I still love Lisa!!

Why didn't you say anything about the Elite Agency guy being a total Tim Gunn rip off?

i loved when the judges told heather that her picture looked like she was taking a dump.
also, how awesome was it that jaslenes cover girl commercial was in a WALMART??? her spiral back to anonimity is nearly complete.
i hope the editors dont start being tricky with the opening scene = girl going home thing. antm is formulaic, but thats what i love about it!

Great recap!
But as a Chinese, I need to clarify that the thing they showed during panel was really supposed to be a lion. The one that's supposed to be a dragon would be much longer (and really looks like a Chinese dragon) carried by about 20 people.

carol - oh my gosh why did I not see that before?! You are so right.
You know, I did not watch this live and fast forwarded through all the commercials, so I had completely missed Jaslene in Walmart the first time around. I heard about it from someone else and had to go find it because I had to see it to believe it.
What can I even say about that?! It is the most ghetto-fabulous CoverGirl commercial I have ever seen. Why would they even want to air something that humiliating? She didn't even look that good, it looked as though maybe 2 people stopped to talk to her (and probably didn't even know who she was), and it's WALMART. I mean, nothing wrong with shopping there, but not exactly the place I would think to set up a 'model' sponsored cosmetics counter. Next thing you know she'll be holding wine tastings at Taco Bell.
Thanks, georgiababe!
Adrian - thanks for the clarification, sorry for the mistake. I guess I should have looked into that one...

Awesome Recap!! Sooo Funny! I especially loved: "If I were designing a dress for her I'd need glass shards, rusty nails and a whole lot of rubble." So true! I wish I could lock Tranny Vanny from Tila Tequila in a room with Bianca for like 10 mins, and see which one comes out alive - or covered in hickeys!
Oh - also sort of off-subject - one of my freshman year roomies packed all her shit and left college because I used her shower shoes - honestly, I am so not kidding!
I am so over Heather and her whining too - I completely agree that unless Miss Jay can seriously work miracles on the runway - there is no way she can win.
My problem with this episode was their nasty attitudes with the fashion design students - look I get that this outfit was supposed to be "inspired" by the model - but models are supposed to show off the clothes - not bitch about whether they like them or not - I'm just sayin....
Oh - and I used to not completely hate Tyra - but why the F did she have to announce the trip to China BEFORE kicking off Ambreal - that was sooo unnecessary! Whatev -

Thanks Pachita!!!! Great recap, if you're going to wreak havoc, much better to do so in the nude . . . and what's this whole calling dibs thing, I go to the bank and say, "I call the first million dollars" but do they give it to me . . . . no . . . . they don't even care and laugh in my face, so if I got naked and ran behind their glass I'm sure they'd be laughing even harder at me . . .
I do think Heather's asbergers shows in believing in a dib system, and that's she's a fire sign . . . granted, when I played sea nymphs as a child, it had a whole other meaning . . .
Painful to watch them flub on the runway though, but nice for them to do a faux PR episode! Happy turkey day all!
