Tanya, the next Liza Minelli, comes forward and the judges all express frustration at her need for perfection. Robbie explains that she needs to have flaws for people to relate to her. Tears are running down Tanya's face and the Kimsicle decides it's the perfect occasion to take a sadistically long time to deliver her news. She waits with her perfectly preserved cryogenic smile until Tanya starts to crack around the edges before delivering the news that Tanya is on the board.
And, then, we're left with one spot and three desperate women: Hope the short sociopath; Lori my husbands favorite; and Allana the 6'1" woman with commitment issues. The General loves that Hope went all out for her photos. Lori doesn't like her picture. Allana, strangely enough, looked more confident in her photo than in person. Of course, at that moment, Allana is looking a little like a morning sick horse. The General says that all three women could get work, but the judges' job is to figure out which woman could move to become a superstar. Kim gives the verdict and Hope, the sociopath, gets to stay.
Hope has another crying meltdown, similar to the one she had when she made the semi-finals, and I'm kind of hoping that she doesn't do this every time she wins something. Meanwhile, Lori and Allana slink off stage.
The Kimsicle gives the winners their final pep talk for the day. All of them made it on to the board, but their goal is now to stay on the board. Over the next few weeks they will be living and competing together. But, in the end, only one of them can win and they won't win this competition on looks alone because to be crowned the winner of She's Got the Look they've got to be the complete package.
Melissa tells us that she never thought she'd have another chance for modeling. Sharon tells us she never thought that she would be in print like this, saying "I don't look like a little old lady at all." Hope quit everything for the chance. She just knew that it was going to work out. And, the ambivalent mom is thrilled to have the experience of the lifetime and she hopes that she wins.
So what do you guys think, any favorites yet? Is this going to be the next big thing in the reality show genre or is it just going to fade away into the recesses of Sean Patterson's resume?
See ya next week for gauze, burlap and maybe a trapeze.
Hugs,
Yenta

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

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..?

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!! :)

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!

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

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!

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)
