Leaving LA, our weary judges head south landing in Dallas. And, we start with a montage of a few women that aren't going to make it, including a Dallas cheerleader hopeful who ends her routine by jumping and landing in a split. Robbie observes that her husband must luuuuuuvvvvv her. I also picked up a new piece of trivia from this segment. One of the contestants, unfortunately named Fifi, explains that her name really means daddy's little girl. I never knew that and, apparently, neither did Robbie who's struck with the revelation that, OMG, he should have been named Fifi. We also see clips of Ronica who lives on a farm, Ruth who's hoping to overcome the limitations of her 4'9' height, and Eleanor. Eleanor's appearance is a little startling, prompting Robbie to hiss "Donatella Versace," but I was thinking more along the lines of Rocky Horror Picture show myself.

It wasn't a good look for Uncle Fester either.

Eleanor proudly tells our judges that she hasn't had any cosmetic surgery. And our judges struggle to find an appropriate response.

Maybe you should consider it.

Next up is Alana a 37 year-old, 6'1' pretty blond woman who describes herself as a lover not a fighter. She tells the judges that she modeled before, but she didn't take it seriously. She says her confidence level wasn't high enough and she messed it up. Alana also reveals that she's never had children and she's never been married. But, most importantly, she wants this chance really badly. Our fearless leader is conflicted and wants to know what his co-judges think. Robbie is concerned about her height, but he says yes. Bev is thinking more along the lines of a 'no', pointing out that Alana has never committed to anything. Alana has a passing facial moment that clearly expresses exactly what she's mentally saying to Bev and it's not nice. However, Bev says that if Alana ís truly committing to this competition, then yes.

I'll commit you, b*tch!

At age 37, Sharice has had a lifelong dream of posing with a lion as a Siamese twin, because as she tells the judges, "thats artistic." The judges are intrigued enough to ask for a demo. However, they don't bring out a lion for her to demonstrate with, instead they give her Robbie. And, after the way Sharice's eyes have been popping out Robbie's looking a little skerd, kind of like the cowardly lion. But, Robbie's a good sport and goes up on the stage to lie down for Sharice's dream shot.

Robert's last moment as a virgin.

Roxanne comes out next, looking as Robbie says, like Annette Bening and really the resemblance is pretty strong. Sean comments that the word that comes to mind when he sees her is poise. Bev asks Roxanne if she dances and, oddly enough, Roxanne answers that she's a belly dancer. Somehow, belly dancing just doesn't jive with the Annette Bening look, but Roxanne does some shaking for them. The judges love her and she passes with Sean saying, "that's what we're looking for."

The new face for Secret Antipersperant.

Kathy has that tall, thin thing going on and the General wants to know why she
decided to pursue modeling at age 39. Kathy tells him that she grew up with a strange obsession for fashion and style, but she went to college, got married, and had a couple of kids, ages nine and eleven. The General asks if it would mean a lot to her for her kids to see her succeed as a model. Kathy says she struggles with the idea because she doesn't want to leave her kids. The General is torn. Robbie is also torn, but he thinks, yes. Bev says no, because she doesn't think Kathy is going to want to leave her children. Kathy agrees that it may not be her time. The General assumes his duties as our fearless leader and passes Kathy because he's convinced that if she doesn't try she's going to regret it for all of her life.

paula was on sci fi channel's who wants to be a superhero season 2 as "whip snap" and the website says her age was 31 (that show aired in the summer of 2007).

yentapatrol:

Intense: You completely made my day!!! I knew there was something off about the way she gave her age. But I don't understand why they caught Sharon and not Paula? Anyhoo, thanks for the info, I'll see what I can dig up on her superhero gig.
Hugs,
Yenta

tvkitty:

yenta I'm so excited you are recapping this show. I caught the first episode and I am already in love w/ it. I love Sharon and the soccer mom chick.

I thought there was something suspicious about Paula. She really reminds me of that tough girl that was on ANTM last season... the one that tried out the year before too..?

smolls:

tvkitty - you're thinking of Marvita and she totally remindes me of her too!!

I'm so happy someone is recapping this show -- and I'm really happy I didn't forget to DVR it.

I really like Sharon - she seems really genuine and full of personality and I like the French lady - she's gorgeous!

Can't wait to see what the coming episodes bring and I LOVE that Robert Verdi is a judge...he cracks me up!! :)

juddfan:

Man! I keep missing all these new shows that I might even like . . . after this frothy recap, Yenta, I think I'm hooked!!! Can't believe the bit about the multiple personality, and too funny all the Kimsicle references. From the pics, I'm not getting Hope in the mix, she's too young looking to me . . . Love me some tough looking women, like a Marvita or a Paula . . . can't wait to catch the show!

yentapatrol:

tvkitty, I'll have to pay more attention to the soccermom, I'm embarrassed to admit that I kind of glossed over her in my own mind.

Smolls, we can be the I heart Robert Verdi club. I'll order t-shirts, or maybe sunglasses...: )

Juddfan, after 8 weeks of Viva Hollywood, I have high hopes born out of desperation. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this continues to be hoot.

Hugs,
Yenta

melpadgett:

Paula is TOTALLY marvita's mom/sister!!!

I am rooting for the French lady...I don't like the fake tan perfect Liza minelli mom....
Hope is fun and cool, but looks too young for this show!

Love Robert Verdi and Kim Alexis is a total robot!

intense:

you know kim alexis doesn't seem so bad after you watch Haylie duff be the "mentor" on the search for ell woods.

juddfan:

Well, I did get to see the show on line, and super kuddos for the recap, it was like your words in pictures . . . and YES, Beverly does not move in her face, even her lips move a little crooked from uneven freezing--but she's gorgeous just the same, gotta give it up to Granny, she looks fan-f'in-tastic!!! How she kept her skin so smooth, I'll never know. Didn't like the swedish blonde, but after the scenes for next week, I'm utterly intriqued--she took up bass at 39--my kinda girl!!! Can't wait to see why she thinks she's there for comic relief . . . lastly, me kinda likey Sean Patterson--which is surprising, as those types usually curdle my milk! ( I mean the hollywood muckity-muck types)
