Next thing you know, Saleisha and Lisa go sprinting for the shower, which Heather is not too happy about. She strips down and stalks into the shower with them.
Naked models and showers... shouldn't this be sexier?
Heather tells us the girls knew she called the shower and also know she's not having the best of days. So? You live in a house with a group of girls (and apparently one shower), I'm sure some of them have had bad days. Besides, where did this false sense of entitlement come from? You're having a bad day so the girls need to give you everything you want? I don't think it works that way, although in college I knew a girl who moved home shortly after an incident where my roommate ate her last EZ-Mac. On the one hand, it's just EZ-Mac. On the other, if anyone had laid a finger on one of my 10-for-$1.00 Ramen noodles, I would have straight up cut a bitch.
Anyway, Heather starts yelling at the girls (and yes, they are all still in the shower), to which they shoot right back "you're in the shower so shut up!" Touché!
Heather informs us that the girls forget that she, too, has a breaking point and proceeds to glare creepily at all the girls from inside the shower. That's what happens when you reach your breaking point?! When I hit my breaking point I start eating light bulbs and lighting people on fire (I told you last week, gasmii, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry). The girls all think this is hilarious because, hey, crazies usually are.
After Showergate '07 has subsided, Bianca continues to stir the pot. She asks Heather what she's so upset about, to which Heather replies "you didn't hear ANY of my critique?" Good lord, get over it. Seriously, if you can't handle one bad critique you will not last long as a model.
The next morning the girls get ready and head out to the photo shoot. The Green Machine takes them to the middle of the desert and deserts them (ha!) with nothing but a cameraman. Just as the vultures start circling, they see a figure in the distance walking towards them. It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Jay! He tells them today they're going to be modeling in Model Wasteland. Today isn't just about posing and pretty, it's about showing him desperation. Ooh, kinky! Methinks there are a couple of girls who will rock desperate (cough, Ambreal, cough cough).
Jay leads them to an oasis and the girls get their hair and makeup did in preparation. Trevor O'Shana, the photographer, comes in and introduces himself to the girls. He was the photographer for a shoot that I don't recognize from Cycle 6.
Bianca is up first and, honestly, doesn't look that good. She can't seem to move away from the angry face and a few times looks like she smells something really rank. Jay actually thinks she's doing a great job so... maybe smelling foul = desperation? Hey, whatever works.
The Sultan of Makeup is getting Heather ready and she starts to complain about her negative critique again. Luckily, Chantal (along with the rest of the world) is tired of hearing it and tells Heather to let it go and make up for it on the shoot. Chantal, I am so glad you stepped out of the shadows, I love you.
Heather's shoot does not go very smooth and Jay tells us she usually does a great job of creating a dynamic shot. Not today. It must be because of that HORRIBLE critique she got. How can she go on after hearing she didn't capture the essence of ocean on the runway?!? King Triton would be so disappointed.
Chantal and Saleisha go and both rock it, natch. When Ambreal goes Jay tells her she poses too much and she gets really frustrated because, as Bianca put it, "Jay's like, your arch enemy."
Jenah does fantastic, as usual. Lisa does well but Jay doesn't think she sold the garment well. And, at the end of the day, its all about the clothes. I guess it's time to retire my My Little Pony and Cruella De Ville tee-shirts then... but I'm keeping my monkey socks. You can take away my tees but you can NEVER take away my socks!
Back at the house Bianca keeps stirrin that pot and asks Heather what Jay's criticism was at the shoot. Heather tells her that it wasn't her best shoot. She's really frustrated because she tried her hardest and OH MY GOD DO I REALLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS FOR THE ENTIRE HOUR?!?!

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!
