Excellent recap! Loved your thots on the Hannah situation.

OK...I'll play the devil's advocate here and say that, "I may not agree with what Hannah said, but I'll defend to death her right to say it!" She's entitled to her opinions!

I agree with Paulina that Isis picture was bad, and I think she can do better than that.

I don't like Sheena's attitude but her picture was great!

Yes, I was surprised with Lauren cheese and I LOLed at the final moments..I believe Nekisha is still talking by now! :D

Thanks for the recap!

Wow. Was anyone else as annoyed as me about Nikeysha wanting to stop talking so much and like, 80% of the confessionals were all her saying pretty much the exact same thing? It was also weird how Isis didn't seem too bothered by Hannah's push, but everyone else takes it upon themselves to confront her. Thanks much for your perspective on the subject; I agree, it was very immature.
It surprising to see Isis in the bottom two. Her photo this week wasn't excellent, but it wasn't the worst of the worst either.
The best part of the entire episode; definitely the last few minutes. That was seriously the most righteous/hilarious editing. Someone deserves an Emmy for that.
As for makeovers, I'm really hoping McKey gets rid of that nasty red wig and I hope to God they don't do anything too stupid to Analeigh's fantastic head of hair. We can only hope.

Hannah was ganged up on TOO MUCH.

I really like Lauren but I didn't like the placement of her left hand in the picture. It looks deformed and I'm really surprised that Tyra didn't call her out on it. Best picture this week was Elina's.

On to Sheena--- I agree with Nigel's reaction to her "confession". Any other time and any other model, and Tyra would have come down on her for being dishonest in the first place. Clearly she wants Sheena to stick around.

And what's up with that Tyra mail picture? I agree with Hoolia's take on it.

I was really annoyed that Sheena lied and got away with it even though she asked to "come forth" (who talks like that?)and tell the truth.

Lauren's arm didn't look like a broken doll, it looked like a chicken wing. Her fingers look like they got caught in the U-bend.

I'm done with Hannah and the girls involved in that nonsense. Hannah is ignorant, but that's no excuse to go running away and crying because you don't understand. She should try to understand that the girls originally were just telling her to watch what she says, which is sound advice for anyone.

Great recap Hoolia. I like you more when you're not singing Whitney's praises. :P

I still like Sheena's attitude/personality, but she's such a goner. One thing ANTM judges are consistent on is axing the "hoochified" girl. Tyra's exit speech for Sheena will be something along the lines of "You are just too va-va-voom and not enough Vogue."

I hate Hannah. She can't leave soon enough for me.

Pixiegal, I agree with you about the Hannah situation. Crying because people checked your ignorant comments? Give me a break.

And, apparently, Sheena "talks like that" re: "Come forth" and most of the judges ate it up. :) (Although no one impresses Nigel that easily!) I thought she was going to eliminate herself or complain about being picked on for being so hoochie-esque.

Still loving Joslyn for the win, although that would be a Jasleen duplicate story. Even their names are similar...

Love Elina's modeling with her eyes and Brittany's gorgeous.

My predictions for final three are: Joslyn, Lauren, Marjorie...DISCLAIMER: This opinion is subject to change if they start taking sucky pictures.

About the makeovers...

Ditto someone's comment about Analeigh's hair. Since her hair is the prettiest thing on her, they probably won't cut it off. Only change the color.

Elina - a buzz cut/mohawk to highlight her sexually open-mindedness

Lauren - Cut and brunette

Joslyn - her hair is already long for a black woman, so that means Tyra will chop it off. She might be the one to cry...

Marjorie - definitely gonna get a weave. (Tyra likes the look in her last picture)

McKey - that red has to go. And Tyra will give her some short hairstyle that shows off her face.

Samantha - The blond mall look is boring Tyra. Red weave?

Sheena - A bob. Whatever she gets won't last long because she won't be around much longer. :(

Hannah - I don't care.

Clark - I really don't care.

Brittany - fuller weave

Isis - new fluffy weave and reassignment surgery :)

I don't get the Sheena appeal. Her face just isn't very interesting. I think the makeover will bring her back to her Asian roots - stick straight with bangs

Hanna's push of Isis, while not hard, screamed "Ewwwwww get your boy parts away from me!"

Jocelyn's accent is just like Danielle's, the winner of cycle whatever.

Blahblah, I have to respectively disagree with you about Sheena. Remember Brittany from Cycle... 4 I think. God that was long ago, but yeah she totally made it to the final 4 despite the fact that she looked like a total porn star. At least Sheena's face doesn't have the whole O thing going on, just her bod. Get it together, I still love you babe!

If I was a betting woman though, I'd put good odds on your makeover predictions.

I think Analeigh is really gorgeous, but it might just be her hair?

Clark annoys the hell out of me, loled at the bronzer comment! I guess people forget sometimes that orange skin isn't the norm.

I think part of the reason that Isis was so chill about Hannah is that she's obviously had to deal with shitter things than people not wanting to touch her. (Remember the nasty comments during the first photoshoot?) She really seems like a nice girl, I hope that she gets a kick ass makeover and learns to dress a bit more model-y.

Totally agree that there's a difference between racism and ignorance. I'm not a fan of Hannah's but I think she definitely falls into the latter category.

Elina's was the best picture, IMO. Lauren had a cool pose, but Elina's face and hair were awesome.

Love the screencap of Nigel! His face mirrors my reaction.

You know what will be a lot of fun to watch? When Miss Small-Town-Ignorant Hannah gets called upon to do the obligatory nude photo shot. There's always one in the bunch who "oooh, just doesn't feel comfortable being nude in front of all those strangers, oooh. 'Cuz they don't do things like that where I come from! It's a small town, did I mention that?" I guarantee she'll pull something like that, provided she's even still around. I predict she'll be doing the walk of shame soon - hopefully, with that other nasty, charmless fool Clark (and her inch-thick pancake makeup) following close behind.

I'm on board with the folks that are put off by Sheena's exhibitionism. She's very pretty, but her cheap attitude does not say "fashion" or "runway" to me. She might even have some kind of mental issue about her body that compels her tramp it up the way she does. And she might want to consider getting those tremendous implants out...most professional models have very small boobs. Can you imagine her on the runway with a flimsy dress and no bra, swingin' and swayin'? Don't think that would go over well at the go-sees.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Isis stays sharp. She's got her eyes on the prize AND a lot of heart...which is more than most contestants on this show ever do.

I'm really looking forward to the makeovers. That's always my favorite episode, and OF COURSE someone is going to cry about having their hair cut!!! Most likely, someone from a very small town!!! Where they hate people who aren't like them!!!

Great recap! I was wondering why they made such a big deal of Hannah pushing Isis while Lauren was sitting right next to her and also put her hands out when Isis came close. Why did they make such a big deal about it? I really thought that what the girls said behind the voting booth in the last shoot was much worse.

As far as the makeovers go judging by the previews I've seen Samantha is going to get her hair cut extremely short (She's gonna be the crier) and they're gonna dye Clark's hair brown.

hahaha oh hoolia. i have not yet actually watched an episode from this season, but why bother when i have your amazing recaps to read at work instead of getting shit done?

as i said, i haven't seen her in action, but sheena seems a little annoying to me. agree that she really should have been called out for lying about the boob job. and judging from the pics, it's pretty obvious that they are fake, which makes it even funnier that she tried to lie. LOVE the screengrab of nigel's face.

the only team i'm on is team nigel. mmmm.

great recap, thanks for the hilarity :o)

Nigel just keeps getting better and better.

I thought Cheese did well, but the face was all smashed, which I guess they like, right girl went, too funny end, and too funny recap!!!!!! XOXOXO Hoolia!!!

Oh, Hannah, Hannah, Hannah. I think the push in the pool was more defensive (someone's starting to back into me so I'll protect myself) and not rejection. As soon as she realized she did something stupid she retreated. The two girls were right to sit down and talk to her about it, call her out on her ignorance and let her know it was not cool, and that should have been the end of it. There didn't need to be ad-nauseum discussion behind her back the next day and it was totally unfair for the girls to call for a group meeting and then gang up on her. I would have felt violated, too. Take a clue from the "victim" here, Isis. She handled it with a "whatever" wave of the hand and moved on.

Speaking of Isis, I think she did so poorly in the photo shoot because she was still feeling off from her injections. I wonder if they are daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or what. Good on her for not making excuses, though. I do admire her ability to act like an adult (sometimes a rare commodity on this show!). She has probably been through so much cr@p in her life that the petty machinations of these girls seem like nothing!

I still like Sheena, although I agree with the comment that her attitude isn't exactly "runway." I hope they give her a look during makeovers that de-hoochifies her. I still think she'll be around for a bit though, because she's Tyra's first Asian model.

Hannah reminds me of a Disney character, with that grating "aw shucks" voice/attitude. Not only is she completely ignorant, the worst part of that is that she doesn't seem to mind. I too thought she pushed Isis because Isis is "different."

Isis has handled everything thus far with class and dignity. She's more of a "lady" than some of the others will ever be.

Nice Recap, Hoolia. I do Janice Dickenson so I'm taking pointers and names when it comes to model commentary. Ugh, I am so TOTALLY over Elina, too. When are bisexual bugface dominatrixes gonna go out of vogue? Ugh, not soon enough.

msu11y28, Sheena actually isn't Tyra's first Asian model. There was one earlier named Gina. (She had great cheekbones, but NO personality of any kind. They dropped her pretty fast.)

ShameAboutRaisins, I completely forgot about Gina! Thanks for the reminder. I believe she constantly haunted one of the girls that season too, always asking questions and following her around (Danielle maybe?). Well, there goes my whole theory that Sheena might be around for a while...

Umm, does anyone remember april wilkner from season 1? She made it to the top four along with shandi, mercedes, and the winner yoanna? she was definitely asian and she did really well too.

Ahh. How come there is no Team Analeigh? I've loved her since I saw her picture on the ANTM website, even before the premiere came on, and this episode just made me love her more.

Looking at that first [and second] pic of Sheena you just know that she's f'd in that position and watched just like she is in the pic. Can you say Skanky Ho, children?

cielo_81309-- April was half Asian (I believe her mother was Japanese and her father was a mix of European ethnicities)

Kitty, my Sheena is a goner comment refers to not being in the top 3 (most of the last episode). Top 4 doesn't mean anything to me. Also, a makeover can't de-hoochifie someone. Being a hoochie is all about attitude, so Sheena needs a whole attitude adjustment/season of charm school. I still like her bright-side personality, though.

Someone mentioned Sheena being Tyra's first Asian model. Not true. Since someone already debunked that, I can move on to other things...like mentioning Nigel's obvious crush on April (the half-Asian model from many cycles ago).

Splotchie...oh yes, Sheena was advertising her "skills" when she got into that position. I'm so happy with the ANTM editors this season: 1.) for adding a twinkle to Sheena's eye when she turned herself into a pretzel and 2.) for having Ms. Talks A Lot talking over the closing credits.

"Can you imagine her on the runway with a flimsy dress and no bra, swingin' and swayin'? Don't think that would go over well at the go-sees."

Two words: Tyra Banks

Looking at the makeover show now and oohh I was soooo wrong about Marjorie, Joslyn, Samantha (love her new look!)...It's nice to see the crier get over it so soon this cycle.

Yay, Tyra left Analeigh's length alone!

Clark's still not cute to me, doesn't matter what color her hair is.

When is Tyra gonna learn to stop effing up people with the red weave? Those NEVER turn out good. I'm starting to think Tyra does that to the person she likes the least. LOL

The "football trophy wife" is so pretty!

Hannah's push of Isis was totally because Isis was backing right TF into her - it wasn't anything outwardly mean. I'd have done the same thing no matter what private parts the person had. Hannah's ignorance is mostly in not knowing how to deal with nasty bitches. What those same girls said behind the voting booth to Isis was WAY worse and what should have been called out. We have no idea (thanks editors) what was said before or after Hannah's
typical white girl" comment. That plus the fact that those 2 acted like they wanted to have a heart to heart and share wisdom and then they ran to have a bitch session makes me actually feel for Hannah who I couldn't stand prior to this incident.

Where's the next recap? :(
