Recap: Brittany Should Go-See an Anger Management Counselor

antm-05-02-07.JPG
This week's episode was all about versatility. The girls go on go-sees where some impress and others have a SPEC-TAC-UUU-LARRR meltdown. I mean, Brittany, was totally my pick for winner, but that tantrum... Wow. Just wow...

Thankfully, there's no Australian theme this week, and we get a double photo-shoot to make up for last week's complete lack of picture-taking. Also, the competition tightens, as I can see just about every girl left as America's Next Top Model. Yes, I have my favorites, but I think it's possible any of these girls could win. But first thing's first...

Previously on ANTM, the girls went to Australia, where they had to do interviews with funny lingo and a commercial in a funny accent. Yay cultural sensitivity! Not! The commercial brought out Brittany's foible: her short term memory. We've known all along she's a big baby, so she cries about it a lot. Brittany, there were only six of you left! You get plenty of screen time no matter what, so can we please lay off the dramatics this week? Previews tell me that's gonna be a "No." Five girls remain, who goes home tonight?

Nighttime in Sydney. Glamour shots of the Sydney Opera House. The girls ride in the Classmobile on their way back from panel. (Which, did they ship the original Classmobile over? Or is that a classy Australian rental?) The girls, especially Natasha, are thrilled to be in the final five. Renee comments how weird it will be without Jael in the house, since she was so much fun all the time. Yeah, I'm going to miss her for the simple fact that she seems to be the only one that could put Renee in her place.

The sepia tone detones LOSER.

Renee further comments that Brittany used her short-term memory as a crutch. She thinks it unfair that Brittany stayed with that excuse when Jael went home. Dude, there was nothing unfair about Jael going home. It was long overdue. Brittany says she's sad to see Jael go, but wasn't surprised since she (Brittany) does so much better at the photo shoots. Damn, cocky! But true. So true. If there's one thing Brittany does well, it's take a photo.

When the girls get back to their Australian Accommodations, they find Jael Mail. Aw she left each of them a letter, each of which are far more eloquent than Jael ever was on this show. Dionne interviews that she wanted Brittany to get cut, because when they did the acting challenge, Brittany was so excited and had no problem memorizing the lines, but when she choked on the commercial, she blamed her short-term memory problem. Or in Dionne's words: "Short term memory? YOU are LYING!"

Two weeks ago, Brittany was still crying.

Tyra Mail! "There's more to go-see than Kangaroos and Koalas." Go-sees! Yay meltdowns are imminent! The girls walk into Priscilla's Model Management. Priscilla herself greets them, and is joined by Jodhi Meares, one of Priscilla's top models. Um, Jodhi is basically useless and what is with the spelling of your name? Australians... Oh she's only here because she's going to be the next host of Australia's Next Top Model. Whatevs. You're dead to me, Jodhi. I love Priscilla, though, for no other reason than I consider her the Australian Ina Garten, aka, the Barefoot Contessa, aka, my idol.

Priscilla tells the girls they are going to see many designers today who represent lots of different kinds of fashion. Jodhi (grrr) recommends the girls be chameleons today and adapt to appeal to whichever designer they are visiting. The girls will be judged on their personality, portfolio and runway walk. Oooooh, Cha Cha Diva is coming out today! The girl who makes the best impression wins. And of course, there's a very strict time limit. Y'know, just to spice things up a bit. Each girl must be back by 4:30 or she will be disqualified.. But hey, at least they're in an English speaking country. Plus, the show is providing taxis! Cake.

The girls zoom around Sydney. Jaslene says her strategy is to stay calm, cool and collected. It works, and the first designer she visits is impressed with her walk enough to say she'd book her for a job. Renee would also be booked by a designer, despite her weak portfolio.

Brittany's first go-see is a comedy of errors, as she goes to the wrong address. Really, she is one building away and should be able to find it rather simply, but she ends up wandering through some shipping yard. She's confused to say the least.

You know, that famous Australian designer, China Shipping.

As Kramer sez, poise counts. Why do I get the dreaded feeling we'll still be able to hear Brittany whining in the background in future eps?

I thought for sure Dionne was done, because it is clear she's going backwards. What a shame.

Die_MediaWhores [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Great recap! I cracked up at this:

>I think we'll see more of her in the future.>

Heh. As if we see ANY of these truly sad examples of model in the future, unless they are being hired for celebutard reality shows.

Jaslene should win because she's doing such a great job of hiding her Adam's apple. That's a MAN, baby!

Tyra is the most self-absorbed person to exist in this world. To put that into perspective, Donald Trump exists in this world. That "fat" photo in the tabloids is the greatest thing that ever happened to her and she NEVER shuts up about it. Thanks for the mixed signals, Tyty Baby. You say to embrace our bodies, even if we're on the bigger side, yet you don't embrace yours and spend the better part of your camera-fucking schedule explaining to us how NOT FAT you are and how you can still fit into old bikinis. Evs.

Does anyone notice how everytime Tyra introduces the judges she speaks in this OBNOXIOUS BEYOND ALL REASON fake english accent? I can't even watch her do the intros anymore because it bugs so much. She does it every. single. time.

"NIIIgel BAHHHKER... NOTED Fashion Photaaaahgraphah..."

Not only has Brittney never watched "The Amazing Race" she has apparently never watched "America's Next Top Model". "I want to see as many people as possible" are such fricking famous last words. If by this cycle girls aren't giving themselves ample time to get back to the base, they are just braindead.

Natasha's pictures were smokin'. I was actually also really impressed with Renee's. Dionne really needs to go with that mean look. I'm tired of the same pic every week. I think Natasha make win it.

I thought the pee pee thing was bizarre and gross too. and WHY, if you are going to photoshop yourself into skinniness, would you put on the tighest most unflattering jeans ever?

Mrs LT [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I'm really glad Brittany's gone. She was getting really annoying. Big girls don't cry, Brit. They don't cry.
Honestly, I'll say that, as much as I love the girl, I doubt Dionne will win. And Jaslene hasn't wowed me in a while. I really think that it's a matter or Natasha (she's so funny) or Renee.
The Tyra pee-pee dance was really weird. I thought she was talking about the male model at first. Then I realized that she's just an odd duck at times.
Has anyone else noticed just how far Tyra has gone this season in making it all about her? Maybe I'm just noticing it, so correct me if I'm wrong, but now, besides still having pictures of her all over the house, she's on the Tyra Mail too. It used to be just plain cards (no?), but now she has shots of her. Oh Tyra.
How funny was it that the girls didn't shout "TYYYYRAAAA!" when they saw her this time. She seemed pretty disappointed. She also seemed to not like the fact that they figured out that she was shooting them. I can just see her calling up the producers... "Dammit! You're making Tyra Mail too easy! They need to be suprised, you hear!"

Lastly, I'd just like to mention how SMOKIN' those male models were. I'd be all over "America's Next Top Male Model."

(1) What is a six head?

(2) Maybe I missed it, but I didn't think they called Dionne out at panel about asking everybody for free stuff. That just seemed totally inappropriate and unprofessional to me....I was expecting her to get ripped to shreds and was very disappointed that it wasn't even mentioned!

here4beer [TypeKey Profile Page]:

six head= Tyra's forehead (normal people have a 4 head, last cycle Anchal had a 2 head, and Tyra has a 6 head.)


shia0bundan [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Yay! Brittany's FINALLY gone. She takes nice pictures and all but she looks SO awful any other time.

I want a Natasha/Renee final two. I love them both and I don't actually know who I want to win. Natasha is seriously the prettiest girl to ever be on top model. (I thought Renee was prettier a few episodes but her mini-mullet is not flattering).

Dionne, I don't care for. She's humorous and has the best commentary on the show (Jael has nothing on Dionne), but the judges are 100% right.. she always looks mean! I think its her eyebrows or something.

Featherhead [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I was glad that Dionne busted Brittany on her "short-term memory loss", I had forgotten about their acting challenge. She never mentioned it once. Thank God, they finally got rid of her. I couldn't stand the whining and crying anymore!! She needs to Suck It Up!! Natasha is my pick.

twnpeeks [TypeKey Profile Page]:

OMG. Loved the BMD! (Brittany Melt Down). In the pose with the male model, is it just me or does it look like she's holding on to his package for dear life? Not sure if i'm observant or just a pervert.... Oh, and one question, what does wonk eye mean?
I too was surprised that no one called Dionne out on the 'can i have it?' fiascos, I mean that is soo friggin tacky, even us poor trailer folk don't do that!!!!

georgiababe [TypeKey Profile Page]:

As much as I love Natasha, I don't think she'll win. She can't speak English properly, and I think the commercial could ruin her. Same goes for Jaslene. I think she'll be ousted next. She's the classic "Does well in the beginning but the judges don't always like her personality so she doesn't quite make it to the end" storyline. Dionne won't win, because she looks too mean and Tyra will dog her on that from now on. My pick to win is Renee. I think the top two will be Natasha and Renee, but I honestly don't think Natasha will win.

aloveaffairwithtivo [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I'm pretty sure that the "6 head" refers to the number of fingers you can fit onto her forehead...

mutualcraze [TypeKey Profile Page]:

I doubt Renee will win, since she's been given the bitch edit. My pick is Natasha, but Jaslene (who I don't think is attractive at ALL), could take it too.

guy_at_ucla [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Jaslene, oh her language! She does NOT say "cool calm and collected." Instead, she says "cool calm and colleCTIVE" -- and her body is not as "hot" as everyone keeps making her out to be. i mean, maybe for a model, but fuck she's damn skinny.

Still - she's my favorite to win. She sure looked like a "Winner" as one of the designers commented about her.

goo cha-cha! Taking some speaking lessons!
