And we set the tone for this episode when Perry announces, "this is how I do the dishes." Then he yells upstairs, "Shannon! Dishes!" She yells back for him to learn how to wipe his own ass, and he tells her that she should wipe it. This doesn't bode well for the male/female dynamic in the house. Jacki tells us that the boys don't respect the girls, and she's getting sick of it. Then again, she does talk shit on all the boys' BFFs when they aren't there, so what does she really expect?
Later on, the models head to Bleeker Street Theater to meet Tyson. He tells them that this week is all about storytelling. Feminstephanie is dressed for exploring the tundra.
"The story that I'll be telling is Julie of the Wolves."
Tyson says the models are to use their body language and movement to play a scene. The photographer adds that they need to convey emotion, drama, and a sense of story. They're broken into groups of three, and Jacki, Perry, and Ben go first.
Their storyline is that Perry pissed away Jacki's money, and Ben is a friend of the couple who doesn't want them to fight. Perry wastes no time, and dives in with "Fat ass bitch!" That really gets the shoot rolling, as Jacki is screaming right back at him in no time. Ben really does have to hold her back. Jacki says afterward that Perry really helped motivate her because he made it personal. You just know those two are going to end up in bed together before the end of the season.
Ben, who is also likely going to end up in bed with another cast member before the show's over, says that at one point when Perry was coming at him, his prison guard instincts took over, and he really wanted to hit Perry. You and me both, buddy. You and me and probably all of America, both.
But all's well that ends well, I guess. After the shoot, our Machiavellian trio check out the frames on the photographer's computer, and everyone's giggling about how great the shots came out.
The next scenario consists of Frankie, who has been spurned by Holly to get engaged to Ronnie. Good choice, if I do say so myself. I'd rather have a gay fiancee than Frankie as my fiancee.
Beautiful Frankie, trying to get into character, starts mumbling to himself. "Nobody can love her like I can, man. Nobody, bro." Tyson is egging him on while Frankie sneers at Ronnie groping Holly. I love the reality of all of this: a gay dude groping a virgin while her secret archnemesis looks on with tears in his eyes. It's almost Shakespearean.
"Et tu, Ronnie?"
The final shoot's scenario is that Shannon is the other woman between Casey and Feministephanie.
I'd cheat on someone who wore these pants too.
Shannon totally steals the show, as usual. She's straddling Casey, who is laying(lying?) on the couch, while Feminstephanie is behind them. The photographer says that Casey was good, but needed to bring more. Casey says that Shannon did well, but Feminstephanie needed a kick in the bum (sic). Feministephanie pulls Shannon's hair a little, but never really gets into it. She says she's not the type of person who fights and screams and yells. Obviously. She is totally the type who stabs you in the back and tries to turn all your friends against you. I could have called that on day one.
The photographer says they all did well, but his favorites from each shoot were Shannon, Holly, and Perry, and I drop dead from the shock.
Later that night, Shannon has decided to have a talk with the boys in the house about respect. She calls Perry an alpha dog, which he eats up with a spoon. Jacki says that if Perry told Beautiful Frankie he had an itch, Frankie would scratch, which is so awesome and probably true. Frankie says, "do you actually think I would be somebody's bitch?"
I'd say that this picture is worth a thousand snarks.
The next morning, Tyson shows up at the house to give them their catwalk assignments. They're going to be walking in pairs, performing assigned characters to tell a story. Tyson asks for a slick, choreographed performance on the runway. Fat chance. Tyson tells them that one person will have to walk alone, since they have an odd number. Jacki volunteers because she doesn't work well with others and wants to stand out, which is probably a smart move.

Anyone else notice that Jacki wasn't on the runway for the critique or the eliminations?

I have come to the conclusion that all of these models are not as good as they think they are...especially Frankie. Bitch needs to go. So made that he is still around and Stephanie is gone:(
Come on Sparkles. i know you apoligized, but the tardiness of the recap was simply unacceptable.
You've got to do better than this. Thought you quit on us.

First of all- cut Sparkles some slack bfrank! These are the best recaps on this website and if she has to do some "save the job or I'll starve and this shit don't pay all that much" outside work then so be it!
The phone call between Perry and his girlfriend was so freakin fake. It was as if he had the script but she froze up and/or lost one of the pages of her script. I can imagine the producers on the phone with her "now you are pissed at Perry, right?" "No, not reall-" "Yes you are! If you want him to stay in this competition, YOU ARE REALLY PISSED!" "O-kay. I guess so..."
Best line in the show is when Tyson says "Is Ben sucking the (whatever he said here) out of you?" to Ronnie and he says it with a straight face! And no one laughs or giggles like 4th graders! Maybe it will be on the DVD in the extras. I can only hope.

bingo blog boy is right.
Sorry Sparkles.
You really are doing a good job. Didn't mean to be harsh, BUT the recap's lateness shook me up a bit.
