Jenah and Chantal go first - Jenah can't find her balance and does poorly, Chantal does alright. Lisa and Saleisha go together and both do well. Heather and Bianca are last and Bianca makes a big stink about the heights. Oh spare me, haven't there already been several height-related challenges? And every time a different girl freaks out. Lame! Anyway, when they finally go, Heather does really well and Bianca just cries and makes them take her out of the harness.
Heather is the challenge winner and wins a 4000 rmb shopping spree for two! Wow! Oh, wait, 4000 rmb is only $513. Which, split two ways (I'm kind of a math wiz) is hardly enough to call a shopping spree. Anywho, she chooses Chantal to go with and tells us that she would have picked Bianca because she was so scared but, sometimes a job will need you to do things you don't want to do (wait, what kind of jobs are we talking about?), and she's showing her some tough love. Dammit Heather, sometimes I love you, sometimes you get on my nerves, but then you go and be all mature about something and I can't help but agree...
The girls head out for their shopping trip and are really taking in China. "We're kind of like giants in a land of little people," Heather tells us. How culturally sensitive!
Tyra Mail! Then next day they'll be challenging their inner queen are are supposed to bring an outfit that describes their personality. Yay, CoverGirl commercial time!
Jay1 and Someyoungguy (HA!) are waiting for them the next day and inform the girls they'll be shooting a commercial and a print ad for the CoverGirl Queen line that day. All the girls are given a script (wuh-oh!) that they have to learn, and a space where they are supposed to add something about themselves.
Saleisha is up first and does really well. Its very cutesy, and Jay1 loves it.
Bianca sounds like she's poorly imitating a baby voice. Its awful. If I were the sound effects guy for this episode I would throw in a few screeching cats. She goes through the lines fine but its just alright.
Heather is up next. Blech. That's all I have in my notes, 'blech!' Jay1 tells the photographer "well, she looks great." She can't get through a single line and Jay ends up having to feed them to her one by one. Okay, fine, she has a disability, whatever. But even being fed the lines she still does poorly. Someone's going home!
Jenah does the lines fine but... I just don't think she looks good without 2 tons of makeup and an expert hairstyle. I guess not everyone can be as naturally beautiful as the Pach.
Chantal does fine and its all very girl-next-door. Lisa is up last and is really, really, painfully nervous. She makes faces as if someone's sticking her back with needles as she talks and tears eventually start welling up in her eyes. Jay1 tells her she needs to relax. Hey, Jay, why don't you feed HER the lines?!
Tyra Mail! Only 5 girls will continue on...
Panel Time! The girls arrive at the new, Chinese panel (which, incidentally, looks exactly like the old one with Chinese satin covering the walls) and meet the judges.
Chantal is up first. Her best shot looks great, she's very Barbie, but the outfit is horrible! What exactly were you trying to get across about yourself here, hm? Maybe that Pa's back from hunting and its time to churn the butter?
Bianca is up next and when Tyra asks her about the challenge Bianca confirms that she's a puss. Mizz Jay straight up tells her she's in the wrong profession and I love it. Her commercial voice, again, was awful.
Jenah is up and oh wow, I just had an epiphany. She looks JUST like Shannon Doherty in her best picture! Nigel tells her that she's beautiful and takes great pictures, but lacks charm. Her picture is very her (or, as her as she wants us to think. Remember? She's totally punk!), but its not very CoverGirl.
Saleisha's commercial is great, and her best shot is adorable. But the judges think she's too squinty. Oh, and her hair sucks.
Heather is up and her commercial is, as guess, horrible. I mean really bad. Tyra notes that some of the other girls may have thought it unfair that she had her lines fed to her, which makes it that much more important that she actually does them well. Her picture looks like a whole new girl.

Heather stays and Lisa goes?????
What are they smokin'? Lisa is amazing, and i hope she goes on to have a career that eclipses every winner this two-bit hsow has ever had...and Tyra's, too.
Jenah is hideous, Bianca is a bitch, and Heather is a spoiled child (disregarding the disability which renders her unable to relate to other humans...which I believe she exploits to get a free pass.) Chantal and Saleisha are too nice to be in such a shallow cut-throat business.
This, like Sarah's being cut, was completely arbitrary...not based on total performance through the weeks.
This show lost all credibility with me last year when the transexual Jaslene won.

Bianca looks like Terrell Owens.

First of all, Saleisha is not nice...she's buddies with Bianca so she's a bitch by-proxy. I love Heather, even if she is annoying sometimes...I like her look, and she takes good pictures. I know her Cover Girl ad sucked, but seriously? The only time we ever see those is during ANTM!! And to tsl1000: hahahahaha!!!!!!! great comment...but TO sucks, GO PACKERS!! (big game Thursday night, we should have NFL recaps...ok maybe not, just some photos of Brett Favre and all his hotness)

Okay, spreadhead. I'll have to agree with the bitchy-by-proxy comment.
And I'm totally with you on the Packers rally and the call for photos of my favorite future hall-of-famer Brett Favre!!!

UGH... Saleisha is NOT nice, not just the "bitch-by-proxy"... do you remember her in this last episode? Not even wanting to share that big bed with Heather and then laughing about it while Heather is off crying.
Sure Heather is a bit spoiled, but that's no reason for anyone to be treated the way they treat her. Just b/c someone will let you walk all over them doesn't mean you should, ya know?
Anyways... it sucks to see Lisa go.
I really hope Saleisha ends up going soon b/c I can't stand her Dora looking ugly ass anymore. I have a bad feeling that the show is setting her up to win though....

Saleisha looks like a Tyra/Tootie love child, and I can't believe Heather is still on.

I am very sad to see Lisa go. She was really a great model and a seemingly nice person. Bianca has got to go. Her voice is horrible and as a person she is very nasty and annoying.
I do like Heather, but agree she is being handled with kid gloves. What a beautiful picture she takes almost every time.

Shollia - I laughed out loud at the Dora comment...hilarious!

Grrr...I can't believe they let Lisa go. That is such BS.
No offense to Heather, but she's not a top model. I have a feeling they'll probably cut her soon because of something silly, but mainly because they know she won't ever be able to handle it. Lisa was a far better model than Heather was this season. As was pretty much everyone else.
The one picture of Heather I've actually liked this season would be her CoverGirl one and as Pach said, it looked like a totally different girl.
Ugh. ANTM, you make me sad.

All of the Heather haters must be smoking zee crack pipe, because all of her pictures are incredible. There hasn't been a single week that she has taken a bad photo. Even the one week where she was off, she still pulled off a great photo... just not an entire roll of great photos. Her worst week is better than most of the other girls' best weeks. Besides, as someone already pointed out, the only time we see the models having to do a scripted talking thing is during the ANTM commercials. And, let's face it, they get more than 15 minutes to learn the lines. If Heather wins, they will get a coach or whatever to work with her for the commercials.
Lisa was a sweetie, but there have been a few weeks where she broke down on set and/or took blah pictures. She wasn't going to be able to handle the competition much longer, but I think she will go on to work as a model.
Lastly... I agree with whoever said that Jaslene was a tranny! My god, what were they thinking by picking her as a winner. WORST WINNER EVER! First, she was a bitch. Second, she only had that one look... which btw looks like a man. Stupid. Natasha should have won hands down!

Know what? I take that back about Jaslene... she was the second worst ever. The worst... Nicole the whiner. WTF?! Has she even had a job not related to ANTM?

Thank you, Cattyfan! "Transsexual Jaslene" with her indecipherable accent was the end of my rollercoaster-ride love for ANTM. Apparently, the ANTM judges don't know shit about picking model talent because all of the previous winners (with the exception of Eva) barely have a career outside of guest-starring on CW shows.
It's funny because I see Ya-ya (I forget what cycle she was on..with Eva?) EVERYWHERE - in print ads, commercials, on TV Shows, etc. Didn't they cut her because she had acne or something? What a wonderful lack of foresight that was...Is a dermatologist not in ANTM's budget?
