I like how Tyra says Renne is paying "HOME"age to Steve Irwan.

And I also think it's kind of cool that Tyra's fat photos in that one magazine were taken in Australia, and her hair is exactly the same as in panel .. just to put things in a time perspective.

yay! the low functioning mumbler is gone.

I don't watch this show, but I enjoyed the Dunkaroos picture.

I know Tito - I laughed at that myself. Not all words are pronounced the way that they look Tyra!

I do love this show, but I thought it was so ridiculous that they made the girls go to Australia and do their Cover Girl commercial in an Australian accent. I think when they do these commercials in other languages or accents on the fly with no training basically makes it them making fun of another culture. No wonder Renee channeled, or should I say paid HOME-age to Steve Irwin...if you are not familiar with Australia other than him, what else are you going to use for your cues on how to speak? I mean Dionne sounded Jamaican for Christ's sake. I don't think that is a realistic thing that models have to do, not that this show is realistic, but still...

I seriously never got the Voldemort comparison until this episode... but when I saw that commerical I laughed my ass off! Seriously, couldn't think of a better comparison! Bye bye Ducky, no one cares.

I love Natasha...I'll be setting my Tivo too.

So when is this Tyra episode with Nata supposed to be on?

Since she's going to be a correspondant now, I don't see her as being the winner of Top Model ... I mean, Tyra did say "several episodes" of the Tyra show...
I really want Jaslene to win, but when I envision MLAACG, I see Renee doing it well.

Jael looked like Angelica Huston, Brittany like Rachel Wiesz, and Jaslene is Janice Dickinson, trying to sabotage the show- every time I see her, I envision her getting to the end and revealing her true self, with Man Jay's ripped off head in one hand, Tyra's weave in the other, and a stiletto through Lady Jay's head.

Ugh. Those Australian accents were HORRIBLE. I have actually never heard anyone who isn't Australian do a good Aussie accent. They always come out sort of British, but in a very strange way.

Did you hear Tyra try to do one when she presented someone (I think it was Renee) with her photo? Awful. Tyra, you can't act or do accents, so STOP IT ALREADY! YOU SUCK!

Go Natasha and Renee! And Dionne.

I can't believe no one has mentioned what I thought was the funniest part of the episode! When Tyra comes out with the kangaroo and tells them they are going to Australia, everyone starts yelling and screaming. Like 2 minutes later Natasha finally understands where they are going and thus the delayed screaming. Hilarious!!

Why on earth do they make these girls do the accents? WTF is the point of that? Like they're EVER going to need to put on some accent and sound like a moron.... I swear, these challenges are such a joke.

Oddly, I don't hate anyone who's left. Usually I'm like WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?? But this time it's ok. Natasha is my fave, followed by Dionne (even though she sometimes falls flat) and Brittany (even though she's often a bit too Sandra Bernhardt). And I don't hate Renee or Jaslene, although Renee is an old-looking bitch and Jaslene is a major drag queen. Still, the 2 of them are better than many others we've had in the past I think. So, I feel like we've got a pretty good top 5 -- am I on crack? Maybe I'm just used to them being so ugly that it no longer affects me. GO NATASHA!

I can't believe Jael made it this far. Heck, I can't believe I've made it this far.

Dionne looked good in that commercial, even if she had to fumble that horrible accent.

Thanks for the recap, it was good. however, all the fun is taken out of these recaps because they come up so late. This used to be my favorite site and recaps usually were posted in 2 days or so, but a week??? There is a new episode tomorrow. There are so many other websites that get their recaps up immediately that this site is becoming out of date really fast. It's very sad. I'm bummed.

Yeah sorry for the delay in posting my recaps of late. It's the theatrcial awards season here in NY and part of my job involves checking out the competition, so my evenings have been pretty booked with live theater. But hey, only another two weeks until the Tony cut-off date and my schedule will cear up!

But thank you for the comments and I will make an effort to get these up faster.

thanks krankmills, nice recap, but did anyone catch brittany eating some ben and jerry's while april is giving them their "lesson" on interviewing? she like reaches over to put the pint down. it is an awesome display of disrespecting april's worthless lesson. she should have shared with jaslene...

God, this episode was ridiculous. It makes me long for the days of season 1, where the photo shoots were more fashiony (the snake shoot was flippin' awesome) and the challenges weren't TOO silly. But what can I expect? Tyra just gets crazier by the minute with her head scarves and spider eyelashes. Oh well.

I think this is the first season where I don't have an outright favorite. I know who I don't want to win, though. I would hate to see Renee win, doesn't matter how good the judges think her pictures are, I still think she's a see you next tuesday. I also wouldn't want Natasha to win, I like her alright, she makes for good tv, but I can't stand listening to her talk, so I don't want her to win based on the fact that she'll have to do those insipid cover girl commercials.

K_Mo, I also caught "Brit" with the pint of ice cream in her hand. I was hoping it was that awesome oatmeal cookie fudge flavor.

nyrlieht, I'm surprised that wasn't pointed out, too! That was so funny! Makes you wonder what goes on in that squinty head of Natasha's.

I'm big into Renee as a model, big into Natasha as a human, so I hope one of them gets it.

God Brittany, stop being such a baby you're very photogenic but I want to smack you. She should have shut the hell up about her memory, she talks about it like eleventy times in the episode. Other girls have weaknesses to but they don't even MENTION them in front of the panel. They wait until after the show ends so they can go cry about them on Tyra. DUH.

I like Brit as a model (that pic with the twins was astoundingly good) but gosh i am tired of listening to her cry.

I felt really sorry for that kanga having to be in the room while everyone screamed
