After last week's sad ending, I was hoping for a happy little episode to lift my spirits. This was not it. This was boring.
We begin with Heather talking about how she is sad that Sarah left. This is a lame attempt by the editors to make us think that Heather might be going home. We watchers are way too smart for that. Heather go home? Ha.
We also start with Lisa talking about how she was called first last week and how she needs to keep it up and Ambreal talking again about how she shouldn't be here. This is the editing we know and love.
The girls get their first Tyra mail and it has something to do with being a muse. Chantal, of all people, realizes they will have to be inspiring. Hmmmkay.
They arrive at a Fashion school and meet some designers. Benny Ninja is there to be small, weird, and tell them about their challenge. Which is.....to inspire one of the designers to redesign a horrific dress into an outfit worthy of the catwalk. The dress reminds me of one that Robert from season 3 of Project Runway designed. You remember the one.
Some of the girls really hit it off with their designers. (Jenah, Chantal, Saleisha) Others......
Well Bianca just never gives her designer a chance. She complains that she won't listen to her, but I never see her actually talk to her. Heather is also having trouble. She keeps talking about being a fire sign and while that's neat and all, I have trouble seeing where this fits in at all.
After the dress making, the girls must walk in them on a runway and give a very small description as to why this dress was inspired by them. Bianca works it out, as does Jenah and Saleisha. Heather totally freezes and Lisa fumbles a bit as well. It does seem like a relatively simple challenge, I can totally commiserate with the fear of public speaking.
On hand to judge we have the editor of Seventeen and someone important from Elite Models, who is really creepy looking. They give their critiques and Heather's is rather harsh. I expect she is used to kind of being handled differently at home because she is really upset by this. Saleisha is named the winner and I think Jenah was robbed.
Once home, we see, thanks to subtitles, that Heather calls the shower. Does that really work in real life outside of like.....5th grade? Huh. Anyway, the shower appears to be massive and can comfortably hold many a person. So Saleisha and Lisa jump on in. This does not sit well with Heather who strips right down and jumps in too. She takes the opportunity to say a few choice words about the lack of respect she feels. The girls make a good point and tell Heather that she is in fact, in the shower and could just take the opportunity to shower. This whole scene, like most in the previews, was disappointing.
Photo shoot! The girls are driven out to the middle of nowhere and are made to act like they really think the bus is abandoning them. Who's shooting the video if they are all alone? They see a small mirage coming towards them.....it's jay! He tells them that the photo shoot this week involves a car and some fire. Awesome.
And actually it is a kind of awesome shoot. The girls have this rd convertible that is on fire to pose next too. They are supposed to look pissed off/desperate that they have broken down in the middle of the desert. Most of them pull this off fairly well with the exception of Ambreal, Heather, and Lisa.
At panel, Tyra introduces the judges and we see some creepy ass little puppet popping up behind them. I totally thought I imagined that first time around. But no, it is because everyone is going to China! Well.....not everyone. This was a totally cheap trick and really kinda bitchy of Tyra.
The photos are good, but standouts include Bianca, Jenah, Chantal. Heather had her weakest shoot and Lisa and Ambreal are still too safe.
The girls are called: Bianca, Jenah, Saliesha, Chantal, Heather.
We are left looking at Lisa and Ambreal. Everyone watching is hoping that Tyra will finally let Ambrel go. And so she does. Ambreal seems totally fine with the decision just proving that she is a cool girl, but not a good model.
Next week.....China! And covergirl ads........awesome.
