We rejoin our girls in the limo on their way back from judging. If you recall it was the judging where Ebony decided that Tyra was not the nice, lovable person she thought she was. The girls seem happy with ebony's decision, although considering how miserable Ebony seemed two weeks ago, i can't imagine that she'd be much fun to hang out with.
We then jump to Sarah commenting on how everyone thinks she is losing weight. I think this is deceiving to us in the viewing world because I think she looks fine. Then I remember, She is a NORMAL sized person. No wonder. However, I worry about this little confession so early in the episode as this spot is usually reserved for the girl who is sent home. However, the editors have decided to actually make me wonder a bit this episode. They give me a clip of Chantal talking about how confident she is and how much she believes in herself. Never a good thing to say. Need proof? See Saleisha's "I'll never be in the bottom two."
We are gathered around the pool and Bianca is complaining that Heather takes great pictures without trying. See that doesn't seem like much of an insult. It's more of some sort of backwards compliment. What's weird however, is that even though Heather is sitting literally three feet from Bianca and is involved in the conversation, Bianca continues to refer to her in the third person. Essentially, instead of saying, "You don't have to try in pictures." She says, "Heather doesn't have to try in pictures." It's weird.
The others totally back up Heather and kinda stop Bianca's shit in her tracks. It's kinda great.
The next day brings us to a dance studio where the girls don leotards. Thankfully, Tyra's has a skirt. She "teaches" the girls to be sexy. She is weirdly out of breath for most of this segment, so maybe being sexy is tiring profession. She goes on to tell the girls about being in music videos and how she, the great Tyra, has done many music videos and each one was awesome because of her. And then they prance across the floor. They also slide down walls and crawl across the floor. All very sexily of course. Do models routinely have to slide down a wall for photo shoots? Huh.
And now we're hugging ourselves. You totally know that Tyra hugs herself everyday and tells herself that she loves her. Ridiculous. This part was so boring. Not even Bianca's continued hatred of Heather was entertaining. And for the record, Bianca is totally right in this case. Heather looked a damn mess crawling across that floor. And Tim Burtonesque? Nice word choice there Tyra. I love Tim Burton, but who really wants to be compared to Edward Scissorhands here....
And back to the house. Sarah gets more air time and this is sad. I like her. She seems so normal.
There is Tyra mail and did you know that Heather is awkward occasionally? I know. Strange. She calls out to the girls about the Tyra Mail and the editors inform us that no one can hear and somehow this makes her awkward. Silly editors.
On to the Music Video shoot for.....wait for it.....Enrique Iglesias. Yeah that one Latin singer. No, no Ricky Martin. No, not the guy married to Jlo. I'm just kidding. I remember Bailamos. Enrique actually looks pretty good. Hope my mom is watching. She loved her some Enrique back in the mole days.
Anyway. Video shoot. The idea has something to do with vampires which kind of makes sense seeing as how the girls are all hoochied up and wearing leather and such. I could kind of see where they would go for a dark vampire/goth theme for the club atmosphere. However, watching the video at end of the episode, I realize that Enrique actually sings something about vampires. So the song is actually about vampires? Sad, because the music is sort of catchy.
Jaslene has a billboard!
Lisa gets picked to be the "featured" girl in the video, expect she's not really. They treat this as a challenge win, but Lisa didn't have to do a dang thing for it. They just liked her looks for the video. Kinda lame. However, she does turn out a pretty wicked cool shot. Especially that leg. I think maybe her legs could win this if they left the rest of her behind.
Heather also delivers a pretty cool shot, if only looking slightly demonic. I think that is part of Heathers charm. The rest of the girls are all kinda of static.
Then, the drama we were promised from the previews. Heather collapses! Because she didn't eat much that day and was really hot and dehydrated. A little scary yes, but life threatening it is not. it's nice to see the other girls so concerned though. However,
Heather drinks some water and is OKAY. Thank goodness. I was worried. We wrap up the shoot and head back to the house.
And right to judging. No pho-tos this week. Instead we get to see the video of the girls from the music video. They love Lisa and her legs. Ambreal is too hoochie. I find that critique odd because I actually thought she looked totally vacant. They like Saleisha and Sarah in their little duo shot. They give Sarah some more crap about her weight. What is the girl supposed to do? We can't all eat our ribs everyday Tyra.
Heather is great and awkward and great. Jenah is not sexy. Chantal is holding back. Figured out the bottom two yet? If not, this must the the first time you've watched the show. Go back and reread the first paragraph of this recap.
Deliberation. Lisa, Heather and Saleisha are great. Ambreal is flat for some. Jenah is not deliver this week. Chantal is boring. And then this. They get on Sarah for losing weight again which okay
whatever, but then Tyra says, "She entered this competition as a plus-sized girl and now she's not." What? Sarah was never plus sized. She was, as Tyra called it, "real-sized". I take that to be about size 6-10. On my tv screen, Sarah does appear to be at the smaller scale of that, but come on. Even in these flashback clips, she was never the size 12-14 that plus sized girls are supposed to be. Angry.
Tyra only has 7 pho-tos in her hands. They go to: Lisa, Heather, Saleisha, Bianca, Ambreal, Jenah. Chantal and Sarah are bottom two. They are faulted for "coasting" and not being the best in the competition which seems like a silly critique, but whatever Ms. Banks. Chantal gets the photo and I pout.
Bye, Sarah. Tyra was just angry that you could lose weight so easily.
Next week:
The girls get stranded in the desert. Whoever can make it back to civilization and turn out the fiercest picture wins. Or something like that.
