Gaybashing! Stomach flu! Dicks made out of snow! This episode of Make Me a Supermodel has it all! Will our favored son come to see the errors of his ways, or forever be banished from the catwalk by America?
Better make some room in that mouth for your foot.
Yay! In the little recap of last week's episode, we get to see Feministephanie sent home again! Hope she's enjoying working at Barnes and Noble for the rest of her life with that art degree!
The rest of the models wake up to a wintry New York morning. Ben, Perry, and Jacki are up for elimination. Perry prays to the modeling gods, and says, "In the names of GQ, Calvin, Tommy, and Nautica, please grace me with your presence." Maybe they would have in about 1996, when any of them were mildly relevant. I think the modeling gods might punish Perry for his ignorance. Beautiful Frankie wants to know why their bedroom can't stay out of the bottom three. It's probably because, I don't know, two thirds of the occupants are completely obnoxious. (Sorry - Casey is still totally adorable and humble and sweet.)
Perry, Jacki, and Ben report to panel. Niki opted out this week to get some toner on her brassy highlights. Tyson, wearing all purple, looks like a buff version of Grimace.
"You guys seen the Hamburgler anywhere around here?"
The results are in - and Jacki is out! She can't believe it. I can't believe it. She can model circles around Ben and Beautiful Frankie. It's like America decided to go to a big NKOTB concert, but kicked out Jordan Knight first. Not a whole lot of talent left. (Shut up, Joey fans.) Jacki was robbed.
And with that, there are 5 dudes and 2 girls left in the house. Ben walks in the front door and Holly says his name with a hilarious amount of incredulity. We're shocked too, honey. Then Ben tells us that he learned a valuable lesson this week. That arrogance isn't a supermodel quality. Then he says, "Come here, sweetheart," and Perry rushes in. Oh Ben, don't be made into a pawn in Perry's giant game of ego-chess. Despite playing along with his stupid joke, Ben tells us that he wishes it would have been Perry that had left. So does Ronnie. So does Shannon. Would this show be more or less interesting if the models got to vote each other off?
After Holly and Shannon participate in the requisite girl power talk, the models get a message on the kitchen chalkboard. Did a bum sneak in or something while they were upstairs? Nope! Just a PA delivering the poor man's version of Tyra Mail. The chalkboard says to prepare for a winter weekend away from the house. They're instructed to leave at 3:00AM.
Shannon says that she's been sick and nauseated all week, which looks like dangerous foreshadowing for our resident string bean.
The models show up at Wyndham Mountain, on a ski slope. Niki pulls up on a snowmobile with a hippie wearing a shit-eating grin, who just so happens to be the ex-photo editor for Harper's Bazaar. By the looks of him, apparently now he just eats magic mushrooms and stares at the coffee table all day.
"Duuuuude....wait, what?"
Niki tells us that this week is about speed and motion; going fast and capturing the moment. A supermodel must learn to keep his face and body in control for all frames. I. LOVE. THESE. SHOOTS. Because it inevitably means everyone's going to be falling on their asses.
The hippie reviewed the models' portfolios, and put them into groups based on looks and personality. He tells them that their job is to look like rich kids that everyone wants to be. The model who does the worst during the shoot will be sent back to New York, while the rest of them will stay in a cabin at the resort. Shannon's so overcome with gratitude that she keels over. Wait, no, not gratitude. Nausea.

Sparkle- tough episode to recap! So much going on but you were fierce (oops- other gay show) as always. I don't think Jacki could have won over Holly and Shannon so yeah, I'm glad she left. This week I think it will be Ben. Not just 'cause the gay remarks which seemed scripted-( like a PA whispered in his ear "say some shit about their "mound" looking like a dick and how gay that is!") and he is too stupid to ignore it. On the other hand, Ben might be retaliating against his own hidden deire for Ronnie and purposely trying to sabotage the only chance he may have for real, true love with another man. HA! He's just a backwoods hick without an edit button.
Best moment for me was when Tyson says to Casey "I have one word for your performance- JUST OKAY." Uh Tyson, math is hard and no one said a supermodel needed to know English either but you may be- TWO WORDS- "stu-pid."

It was like Ben knew he was going home this week, and wanted to be het again, so he brought on the hating! Very ugly, and stupid, with all the flirting he's been doing. I call guys girls all the time, but it's with love . . . and (I think) not offensive--but just in case, I'll stick to guys here.
BF lost his fire after this one, I have a feeling he'll be back with Franchesca soon!
Anyhoo, so right in the recap, bringing on the gay hate is the kiss of death! (TG!)

I agree w/ Bingo Blog Boy... I think Ben was scared about his feelings for Ronnie and lashed out because of it. Plus he probably knows he's gonna get cut soon and is afraid to go back to his prison guard job after the Ronlove... I say up with ronster...I love him!

I agree -- Ben is on his way out this evening.
