Pachita -- I just wanted to finally comment and let you know how much I enjoy your recaps -- I let myself take a break to read them in between replying to the 300+ emails I get a day for my main job, which involves an social networking company that rhymes with Spacehook. Jenah's face is my equivalent of the Boogeyman that haunts Molly's dreams in "Heroes."

Great recap! Lloyd Eisler is a Canadian pairs figure skater. He was on that Fox show Skating with Celebrities where he was paired with Kristy Swanson. Sadly, I did watch that show...moving on... He and Kristy had an affair while Lloyd's wife was pregnant and now Lloyd and Kristy are married and have a baby of their own.

Ok, I haven't watched the show so I am temporarily avoiding the recap, but I saw the Gargoyles screencap and was psyched! I did love that show, I was so bummed when it was over. Ah yes, cross-species romances, nothing better than that! :)

I love your recaps they are hilarious! Team Lisa!

Hey 'Chita!

Another awsome recap!

And I too LOVED Gargoyles on saturday morning! Did you also watch X-Men too? I would watch these with my son. *cough* excuse *cough*

In my day it was GI Joe, Transformers and Thundercats. LION-O, HOOOOOOO!

I'm giving Heather a pass this episode because she's been taking it and now she's dishing it out. But just the one pass...

I am SO sick of the editing on this show revealing who's getting the boot in the first 3 minutes. In the opening scene, when Janet posted the list of chores on the fridge, Victoria's name was on it. As in, Victoria hadn't been booted yet, and they used this scene out of chronological order just to set up a storyline for Janet's imminent doom. Maybe I need help for noticing things like that, but c'mon, editors!

And I agree, Jenah looks like a cave dweller in The Descent.

Great recap, Pachita!

While I think that Janet did deserve to go home, several of these photos did not look at all "gargoyle-y" either but she was the only one that judges picked on about that. There's a total lack of inconsistency with the judges critiques.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

Sweetblondie - it's like we're the same person! Throw in a little HeMan and SheRa and you've got my entire childhood lineup, no joke.

Lolo - WOW, great eye. I def did not notice that but will have to double check when I get home!!

I think I'll send a strongly worded letter to the Bo begging her to let me take over editing. A friend told me that there was some drama with the writers going on strike or something and that's why its so basic and formulaic, anyone else have any info on that?

Umm...first off, TEAM LISA! Loved her from the minute I saw her and she just rocks my world, strippa and all.

Secondly...screw Heather. I thought she was nice and I was all "Aww...asperger's!" but um, can we say bitch? I could not believe the BS that was flying out of her mouth at the speed of light describing the other girls. I would just have been like, "The judges lied. You're not pretty." and be done with her. Blech.

Jenah is so not as attractive as they're making her out to be---she's absolutely horrifying sometimes...and a little weird. She keeps talking about how "different" she is...but she's not. She's skinny, bleach blonde and bug-eyed. I've definitely seen that brand of model.

I had Janet called from the opening scene too..come on ANTM, throw me a curveball!

sigh, but i do love the recaps! : )

Please, post that hilarious picture of Heather as many times as you want. Heck, I'm one of those people who still hasn't gotten enough of the Lisi face-plant pic from last season's Survivor! (If you can ever find a way to work it in, I'd certainly appreciate it!)

Great recap Pachita!

I was real disappointed in the posing challenge on the ice. Have none of these girls ever seen actual ice skating? I didn't think any of them used their body enough, it was all in their face.

Also, Jenah's hair, yikes! Same thing happened to Brit's in the last cycle and they had to rip it out. I think they should stop giving weaves to girls who have no clew what to do with them!

Nice recap, Pachita. One nit-pick, though: you sure are fickle because I remember you being on Team I Don't Remember Lisa's Name Because She's Boring in the first couple recaps. Way to jump on board the Lisa train now that it's pulling away from the station.

Btw, horn-tooting time: I called Lisa as the strongest of the competitors from jump and predict her to win.

Oops, my apologies, Pachita. On second thought, I'm confusing you with another recapper-of-ANTM who-shall-not-be-named.

Team Lisa!!

Ok, carry on.

Somebody please tell me how to post a screencap for this post...html, img..??? I have a great side by side screenshot for jenah...its all i can think of everytime i look at her

ny2duval -

If you'd like, you can email it to me as a jpeg... it needs to be uploaded into the server and I can add it on to next weeks? I don't know that a picture can be put into the comments section...

Lolo- I too noticed the victoria thing

Great recap pach, jenah's hair reminds me of amy winehouse's which is DISGUSTING

i'm not an expert on Asperger's, but i do know that Heather's comments fit in with the poor social skills and inability to appreciate social context cues aspects of the disorder. i thought that she was being way too honest--because she may not realize that her comments could be perceived as bitchy--but i didn't think that she was trying to be mean. it seemed like someone was asking her questions and she was giving her honest opinion. she was certainly honest about what she thinks she needs to improve on, so i don't think she was being bitchy at all. it's hard to tell with the editing, but that's just my opinion.

someone really needs to give Jenah some advice on how to take care of her nappy weave. she looks like a junky. (that was me intentionally being bitchy, just to be clear)

oh, and as for gargoyles--i can't even tell you how much i love that show--and not just because the voices were actors from star trek tng. i still watch it on toondisney. what? it's a good show!

Thanks p.q - that hadn't occurred to me about Heather, but does make sense...

And you just BLEW. MY. MIND. They still play Gargoyles?!?! Consider it recorded. :)

Hey pachita I couldn't find you email address on the site anywhere so I sent it to the staff address requesting a forward to you.

Pachita:

You missed a killer movie this past weekend on the one and only Sci Fi network. A group of Nazis reanimated stone gargoyles to fight in World War 2. it rocked.

I, too, was disappointed this week at how it only took about 2 minutes to figure out who was going home.

However, I do have to give props to the editors for the fake-out from episode one- I was fully prepared to have Ebony be the bitch queen of the series, and am surprised at how show and nice she seems to be.

They totally faked us out with Bianca.

At last I have seen the blessed episode (f*n Tivo (and not T.Vo the recapper--u rule!)

Well, I did have a heads up that Miss Janet of the white undies was toast this week, and yep, couldn'ta missed it from the start . . . . . lame guys, I liked her, but she was too short and guess not too great on the faking it for posing . . . She never really did shine like she did at the first interview with the Kitty kat wax and swift spank on T-bo. (possibly my favorite ANTM moment evah!)

Thanks for another joyous recap, Patch--had to read it b4 I started work, ugh! I too, have a drawer of crotchless panties for laundry day . . . hmmm . . . these wonder twin moments have to stop!!!!!! or not!

Much love to you and Cakes, and frankly, the poses were not very Gargoyle . . . don't they crouch all the time, do they ever stand and jazzersize!? I was thinking more psuedo doggie style poses than stand up and catch wind . . .

I also agree with PQ on the Heather rant--I found it fun to hear her go at it, but, in a sense, it was her observations, fairly constructive, and dead-on to me! Go Heather, Lisa, and Ebony!!!!

So I'm guessing that a lot of viewers of America's Next Top Model have no clue as to what Aspergers is.
I've have cared for children and adults all along the autism spectrum.
The fact that Heather has been strong and brave enough to even come on the show fascinates me.
Having Aspergers is as if your brain has no filters. Any thoughts will come out, good, bad, mundane. There is no scale or perception. She won't know what she's saying is bitchy. To her it's just honesty. And physically she's amazing. People suffering on the autism spectrum struggle with their motor neuron capabilties. I know sufferers who can't even open a bottle of soda so for her to attempt an ice skating or trampoline challenge just blows me away.
Big up the gorgeous and fascinating Heather.

Lloyd Eisler is a Canadian pairs figure skater. He and his (skating) partner Isabelle Brasseur went on to perform some of the most inventive and dangerous stunts in the history of ice-skating. They are always a thrill to watch - I've seen them at Stars on Ice three times. He strikes me as being a bit of a douchebag though - and his horrendous facial hair only backs that up.

Go Lisa and Heather and Ebony! I hate Bianca's voice - I hope she crashes and burns. Same for Jenah -she is so bug-eyed and creepy. Chantal is stuck up and annoying. Ambreal and Sarah I like, but they are forgettable. Saleisha is okay, but she just isn't my favorite.

And woot for Gargoyles! I too watched that show all the time when I was younger - my brother and I used to play Gargoyles (where we pretended we were them) and with Gargoyle action figures and Barbies all the time (my Barbies were neighbours with his Gargoyles - it was a good time).

Great recap!
