The Road to the Final Four - 
by J-Unit
The whole time that America's Next Top Model has been filming in South Africa, we've had all of the standard tourist shots of Cape Town, the frolicking time on the safari, and the whimsical kloofing trip. The girls have been learning about the modeling industry, but Tyra doesn't think that is the only lesson they should learn. With only four people remaining emotions are already running high, and after a trip to a ghetto and a prison brings them face to face with South Africa's apartheid past, things really start to boil over.
Last week was one of the more interesting judging panels. Instead of Tyra, Janice, Nigel, and Nolé critiquing everybody's performance, each girl got to have their say about the others. Naima said it was one of the more difficult things she had to go through, but it was great because everybody really got a chance to see what people were thinking in this competition. At this time last week, everybody was eating with Tyra, Kahlen was crying, and Brittany was saying how great it was because all of them were actually friends.
That feel-good attitude didn't really last very long. Living with a person is difficult, especially when you don't have a choice in who your roommates are. The girls have had to deal with each other, and they have been pretty friendly. YaYa would have felt very good at how much "respeito"(respect) was shared among everybody, but such smooth sailing can only last so long. Keenya starts talking about how she wasn't going to hold back for anything, and when it came time to critique people, she couldn't think about who was her friend or not. Brittany tries to get a word in, but Keenya says a few words about interrupting. They get into a little fight about who interrupts who more, and who was rude to who and shit like that. We saw the rift between these two build last week, and perhaps it was inevitable because of how close they were, but if these two can't get along, there isn't much hope for the rest of them.
Although Keenya interrupts people, it is not her worst trait in this competition. I do have to say that interrupting people is probably my worst trait, and all of my friends have to develop a sort of a conversation Tivo if they are ever going to get a point across. But anyway, Keenya's biggest problem is the food. It's not that she just isn't eating right, the thought of food is all-consuming. When she and Kahlen discuss the latest Tyra mail, Keenya's mind can't go thirty seconds without thinking about the chocolate muffin that is in Kahlen's hand. Clearly Keenya has to start smoking cigarettes to sate her appetite or curb that oral fixation she has. I thought it was one of the first things you learned in Modeling 101.
