And that's the end of the walking. So, I guess it's not so much a lesson as it is a showing. Or something.
Back at the house the girls are all talking about _________. I'll give you a hint: its not world peace. Saleisha goes on and on AND ON about how much experience she has while Bianca stares daggers. Is anyone else worried at how unstable Bianca seems?
Kimberly, with an air of arrogance, says "basically my dad's been taking pictures of my my whole life." Umm... man, I keep finding myself at moral crossroads this season. Oh, what the hell - Kimberly, its called pedophilia and should be reported.
The voices in Bianca's head push her closer and closer to the edge and she finally gets into it with Saleisha. She tells Saleisha that she doesn't consider her to be competition. Saleisha agrees, Bianca's not her competition either, because she could never do high fashion. Whether or not that's true and whether or not Saleisha's being a brat is besides the point because Bianca then tells her that she's borderline plus size, so she's not worried. Saleisha, plus sized? I think not. Especially considering she's half the size of Bianca.
The catfight gets more and more heated with Saleisha finally realizing she's above all this. "I'm a grown ass woman and she 18," she says as she stomps away. Most of the girls realize Bianca may try eating one of them and leave as well. Wait, she's only 18? I guess that explains some of the irrational immaturity. At 18 I was having chugging contests with jugs of Carlo Rossi in my underwear while dancing to "MmmBop" and trying to convince people I was a secret part-time professional rapper (and no, 18 was not that long ago. And yes, I do still listen to "MmmBop." Try it if you're ever feeling down). Pachita Fun Fact: I listen to really cheesy music in the morning to make the work day bearable. "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" rocks my world.
Anyway, after an embarrassing confession like that I guess there's not much else to do but get back to business. As Saleisha walks away Bianca tells Kimberly "I don't care, I'll start cutting up clothes." Yikes, she's worse than that girl who rubbed her Britney (best new phrase of '07, thanks Lo!) all over Melrose's bed in cycle 7. I actually hope she wins, but only because I fear that if she gets cut she'll shiv Tyra.
Channeling her inner Charles Manson
Roy Campbell (of church fashion show fame) greets the girls the next day and tells them they'll be walking in a Colleen Quinn show. Colleen Quinn!!! Who?!? Okay, okay, some of the girls know who she is - I guess I'm not as fashion savvy as I like to think - and even Heather says that she has seen Colleen's dresses in fashion magazines and never dreamed she'd actually be wearing one of them. Okay, show, this is where I am calling your bluff. Every cycle you have a random designer do something with the girls and every cycle one of them says those exact words. What gives?
Colleen is there with Roy and tells the girls that she will be debuting her line in Paris next year and is going to invite the winner of the runway challenge to the show. Cheese and crackers, Batman! That is one hell of a prize! This just in: I am officially trying out for ANTM next season.
She also mentions that today's challenge will be tricky because some of her dresses can be constricting. Cakes wonders aloud if anyone will fall and claw their way out of the dresses, ripping it to shreds. One can only hope, Cakes.
Showtime, lets get this party started! Ambreal works the pach out of her fan, Chantal looks awful, and I realize I do not have ESP because Bianca doesn't fall. Victoria looks like a deer in headlights, Heather has a great dress and does well, and apparently I need to brush up on my Voodoo as well because Kimberly's doll does nothing for me.
Ebony is looking good, but on her way back while Sarah is coming down the runway they clash. It's nothing big, and I thought it was because they just didn't have enough room and lack the cat-like reflexes of Pachita, but Mizz Jay makes a face that says 'aww hell to the no!'

You Rock, Pachita!!! Who knew you were just a young, missing angel child . . . LOVED THIS--so great!!!! There was one shot of Heather, I'm not sure when, but all the girls were cheering her on and she was so happy I, I . . . welled!!! I'm so happy the mood has changed and they're being kind!
As to your theory, I always think that too, and I really thought, and prayed and wasted a clean needle in my Bianca voodoo doll, that she-bitch was toast with all her scathing diarys: Bad advice, Pity pull . . . ugly, ugly, ugly-- I so hope they cut her before makeovers and doom her to purple bangs faevah!!!
Not to defend Mizz J, but I think she imitates Heather so she can see her errors--he normally shows how it should be too, but they may not always show everything . . . I agree, seemed pointless . . .
Never got Kimberly, personality aside, she was another "her!? Who's she again?!" for me, nice to see her go . . . seems T-Bo likes close together eyes or something, or maybe she's got those nymph statues around her mirror and has let them get to her head! I've got a sweet spot for Ebony, and even if she doesn't make it here, I'd like to see her make a great effort!
Cool to see what Heather's been sketching, tells a lot about how she's pulliing this off . . . I thought Lisa's pose was way too "Look at my Brittney" but I still love huh. Gotta give props to Jennah--one of the best pix I've seen on the show . . .

Is it just me, or do Jenah's teeth look really screwed up in her picture? It looks like she's trying to close her lips to hide buckteeth or something.
Go Heather and Victoria! Awesome recap Pachita!

Since I've decided that Yale girl isn't going home next week I learned her name. So, Victoria's picture totally channeled some of Twiggy's really early pictures for me. The big eyes and weird twisted limbs. Totally Twiggy. And they can hardly say this one doesn't have personality... she doesn't just roll over and Twiggy's idiotic panel comments.
Heather is just... wow. There are a lot of girls this time around that I think actually look like models. Love you Caridee and the Trans-woman known as Jaslene, but you do NOT look like models.

If Tyra is really trying to become the next Tyr-oprah, maybe she should not try to illuminate the difficulties of Heather's psychological disorder in the same episode that she reinforces all kinds of psychological disorder sterotypes--Psychiatric hospitals are like haunted houses with crazies attacking? Really?
On the other hand, I liked the straitjacketed runway, because it gave me hope that Bianca would trip, and, without use of her hands to break the fall, break all of her teeth and experience a Joanie-ish dentist visit.
Wow. This show really brings out my own violent psychological disorders!

You're right Pachita, they do focus a lot on the girl who is going hom in the beginning, I noticed that like 2 cycles ago and i got really upset when they showed a lot of Brooke in the beginning because i knew she was going to be going home, and i liked her

HereKittyKitty - You are totally right! I thought the same thing while watching and even had it down in my notes! Maybe that's why Twigs likes her so much...
I agree, the asylum bit was very unnecessary. I hope Tyra reads our discussions and takes notes.
Juddfan - love!

What channel and time?

Maybe Tyra purposely mispronounced Asperger's because it's awkward to say...I mean seriously who names a disorder something that sounds like AssBurger?

Pachita,
Excellent recap...AS USUAL!! I was screaming when you talked about dancing around in your underwear drinking Carlo Rossi. Who did not do that at some point in their life?? Bianca is over the top, like Rosemary's baby, let's get rid of her, I think they think she spices up the show but she is so trailer park trashy that it is scary. The show is almost predictable...but keeps me coming back for more, mostly so I can read the recap! Otherwise there is really no point. Thanks!!
