They are waiting in a trailer (why? I don't know) when Jesse walks in to introduce them to... Enrique! Saleisha likey and tells us that he is so super Latin sexy. Hands off, Ringo. Jesse informs them that all of the girls will be in the music video but one girl will be featured. Enrique makes his way around the tightly packed trailer (seriously, wouldn't it be a lot easier to choose someone based on looks if you could, I don't know, see them all?) and comments on what a hard decision it's going to be.
Primero, do I look sexy right now? Y segundo, how do I break it to them that this is all a lie?
The music video is to "Tired of Being Sorry" and is supposed to have a vampire-esque theme to it. They end up choosing Lisa as the featured girl. Yay! But what's this? They've also decided to feature Heather. I am seriously starting to think this season has a little more sting-pulling behind the scenes than others. What gives?!
Okay, okay, she does have the Goth look going for her. And it turns out all she has to do is stare at Enrique in such a way I worry she really is a vampire looking to make Enrique Tired of Being Bitten (hiyo!), especially considering the fact that during the jumping scene (I don't really know what else to call it, they're all instructed to "go" and everyone just jumps up and down for a while) Heather informs us that she hasn't eaten since breakfast and its now 8pm.
This is where I get angry. And, readers, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Why hasn't she eaten since breakfast? What have the girls been doing all day (aside from the video) that they haven't had any access to food? Shouldn't a music video shoot that's in a creepy underground vampire-lair dance-hall basement have craft service, or water, or at least some vials of blood? I've got an idea, instead of a music video next season, why not just throw the girls in a sweatshop for a while and the last model standing wins one less shift?
I'm not really sure why they made a big deal out of the "featured girl", because they didn't really get much more screen time than the others. Although they did get to encounter LA IGLESIAS! Lisa even got to stick her leg in front of him and try to vampire seduce him.
Jenah's assignment was to stand and stare. And, I know I bash the girl a lot, but I also give credit where it's due; Jenah looked FINE all done up for the music video.
STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD!!!
Chantal's cameo had her up against a wall looking annoyed. Or is she trying to look like a vampire? Maybe a badass? I can't really tell. Her assignment was to be watching Enrique from across the room... I don't know Jesse, what's her motivation? Where's the emotion? The director notices that she looks a little stiff but Chantal thinks that she nailed it.
Ambreal was lucky enough to get the wall slide. Like I said, anyone can freaking do this, so obviously she did a fine job. Looks like you got the golden ticket m'lady. I guess we're hanging on to you for another week.
So, back to Heather not eating all day. Sarah tells us that she looks over at one point and sees Heather crouched over on the side of the room. She goes to talk to her and tells her she needs some water. Sarah tries to walk her out when Heather passes out. Enrique is walking by as this happens and looks scared/pissed off. Oh E, you're so moody!
You've GOT to be kidding.
Heather looks ghastly white and they bring in the medics and sit her down with some Oxygen. Everyone is all kinds of freaked out and she even passes out for a minute. THIS is what happens when YOU DON'T EAT. Here's a little basic algebra for those of you looking to expand your minds...
No food + no water + vampire rave = not the smartest idea + possible vomiting + (if you're lucky) finally fitting into that dress you bought that's a little snug but you refuse to return it because you just need to lose like ONE pound, which is totally do-able!
Anyway, aside from Heather's minor brush with death, the girls all had a blast. I myself am pretty excited to see the video in its entirety.

ugh i was so mad about sarah this week. tyra is a big ole hypocrite. love your body! just dont change it from the size we cast you at or your ass is grass. what a b. of course the girl is gonna lose weight living with a bunch of tiny model girls. im sure their eating habits and the food that is in the house is different than what sarah is used to!
and i almost jumped through my tv and killed bianca when she was standing in front of the mirror saying she was the heaviest girl in the house when sarah was standing right next to her. seriously.
whew...had to vent. antm is getting hard on my nerves.

Tyra isn't interested in having a plus sized model on the show or winning the show - so why does she keep putting them in the mix. What a bitch.

I'm Still trying to figure out exactly why Bianca is still on this show. I thought she did just as poorly in the video as Chantal did. She's stiff as a board in all of her pictures & She's got the personality of a rabid tasmanian devil - Oh Wait - THAT'S WHY SHE'S STILL THERE!!!
I personally didn't think that Sarah did all that badly & it didn't look to me like she was losing weight (Her thighs were huge!) & her pictures were always good... I know, I know, I'm not a professional pretty picture taker like Nigel, but the girl didn't look any different from her earlier pictures.
But that's just my opinion...

Lester, I think Tyra adds a "plus-sized" girl to the mix for the sake of her image, just to say she supports positive body images, blahblahblah. Some of the best contestants are the bigger girls, but they ALWAYS get cut too early.
Funny recap, Pachita. Thanks for reminding me that I used to like Enrrrrrique Iglesias back in college. Also, I haven't seen this show in awhile but it seems from your latest recaps that Heather is probably going to win. They are really trying to sell us on her disabled awesomeness. From what I've seen so far, I don't think any of them are as good as previous contestants.

I'm sorry...I have to agree with the judges on the whole Sarah thing...you never see a normal sized model...models are either plus sized or super skinny, like Tyra said...Sarah would never make it in the industry and to be honest, I'm not really sure why they cast her in the first place, being that that is what they said from the beginning.
Bianca seems to have mutiple personality disorder...I don't love any of the girls really. It's funny bc mtv and vh1 have been showing marathons of earlier seaons and they were so much more likeable!

Good point, Yankeesfan. Sarah was never really one of the power-players.
Actually, I was watching the earlier episodes this weekend as well and it used to be a whole different show. What I thought was hilarious (and its probably what prompted my comments on the plus sized models) is that in the very first episode Janice Dickinson said during the deliberation "I just don't think America's Next Top Model will ever be plus sized, it just won't happen, that's not the way the industry works" or something like that.

thanks for looking up the video, Pachita, saves me the trouble, as I immediately went to indemand hunting . . . .what a rip--like anyone would even know it was our grrls in there . . . the Bianca shot had to go, though, and I thought Sarah was sporatically fierce in her shot, but I guess being that self-conscious wasn't going to serve her in the end anyway--imagine a modeling show wanting you to gain weight to be a plus size . . . sigh . . . . I actually do find this to be a likable cast, not sure why, guess the strippa and Heather fill quite a void . . . I was glad to see the wonders a banana could do in bringing someone back to life . . . now I only hope this isn't running against Project Runnway, my other fave . . . is it too much to ask?! thanks for the recap!!!!

How about having the previous winners of ANTM be the models for PR. I would love to see Adrianne or CariDee working the runway for Nina and MK.
Or how about a PR challenge to design a frock for Miss Jay. ;-)

as much as i l love heather. there is no way she will win. she can't speak well and a cover girl model must be able to complete a sentence. BUT damn she is sexy as hell. i call jenah and salesha the 2 front runners.
