Afterwards Colleen tells the girls she really appreciated all their spirit and energy. Heather is very elegant but needs to work on her posture, Bianca's face should have been softer, and Kimberly's...soul was empty? Oh, Colleen, I guess the "spirit and energy" comment should have tipped me off that you were one of those people (you know; the ones who give you salt rock lamps for Christmas and energy bracelets for your birthday and then try telling you all the wonderful health benefits of drinking herbal tea with just a hint of cat urine while you search the room for exits?).
Colleen also hints that she and Mizz Jay thought that Ebony knocked into Sarah deliberately. Ebony is shocked that they noticed... I mean felt that way. Although, if you replay it, you can tell Ebony tries to lean away from her and Sarah is the one that doesn't give any leeway. I actually think Ebony is nice but no one believes it, is it just me?
I love being right all the time.
Anywho, as she gears them up to tell them the winner I fall to my knees and pray for the first time ever in my life (and with my track record there's no way anyone would listen), for the love of god please don't pick Bianca. And the winner is.....Saleisha! YAY!
As the commercial break starts Cakes realizes we had no more wine so I go to see if there's any rubbing alcohol when I hear the most annoying commercial voice EVER. Oh, it's just Jaslene in her CoverGirl commercial. You know, the one that suspiciously only airs during ANTM.
Jaslene: "This is my life as a CovahGirl."
Cakes: "She really doesn't have the voice to be in commercials"
Pach: Emulating the fierceness, "This is the only commercial I eva made."
Back from break - Tyra Mail! Cakes astutely observes that the Tyra Mail has gotten majorly dumbed down over time because the models just plain couldn't figure the damn things out. Now, instead of fancy rhyming riddles, it's "Tomorrow you will do a photo shoot on a rock wall," and they're all "wait... like, in outer space?!"
Matthew Jordan Smith is the photographer for this weeks shoot. He is one of the big wigs who shot early pictures of Tyra... when she was skinny and super hot and people wanted pictures of her.
I kid, I kid! T-Bo, let's do lunch!
The models will be taking pictures up on a harness against a rock wall. How earthy! Lisa is up first and tells the camera she's afraid of heights but tried really hard not to show it. I'm sorry, Lisa, did you say you're afraid of heights or aroused by them?
On-belay indeed!
All the girls have some strange makeup going on, but Janet's was the most unfortunate. I think the makeup artist, in following the earth-tone theme, allowed a bird to defecate on her face and had Janet smear it across her forehead. How else do you explain this?
Bird poo's SO hot right now.
Saleisha is really excited about this because some of these girls have never been in a photo shoot and she has. Dude, you have got to stop, because while I'm glad you're saving this for confessionals and not pissing off the other girls with it, I absolutely cannot listen to you talk about your already burgeoning career anymore. My ears have started bleeding, for serious. Meanwhile, if she's done so much in the industry already, why does she need to do this show?
Victoria is up and babbles incoherently while frolicking around in her dress. All I hear is "Yale, blah blah blah Yale yadda yadda Yale. I WENT TO YALE." Jay asked her afterwards what she was thinking while she was up there and she thinks about this for a moment before saying "I felt like a sea nymph on acid scaling a wall in the sunshine." Wow. Insert screeching noise here. Should've just said Yale.
Heather's makeup and hair make her straight up look like a bird. Not a model with poo smeared on her face like Janet, but an actual bird. When she got down the girls cheered for her and said they were really proud of her. Aww, T-Bo you picked a really good bunch! Not a bunch of good models per se, just a bunch of (seemingly) good people. Kimberly and Bianca not included. Team Cycle 9!

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!!
