“You are so lucky.”
It seems my girl, Lauren, has a bit of a temper. I think Fatima is awful and all, but I don’t think she deserved to be on the receiving end of all that! Also, the Tyra mail? I think Lauren is just as fed up with the screaming and running and say…ing…each…word…real…ly…slow..ly as the rest of us. I have said it before and someone always mentions it in the comments, HOW FREAKING ANNOYING IS THAT?! That shit better not be around next cycle because I have already had it with this show and don’t know how much more I can take!
This weeks challenge is go sees. This time they break them up in to teams to do it. Of course, Lauren can’t walk. Whitney is too plus sized. Blah-di-blah-di-blah. Stacy Ann, Claire, Dominique and Whitney’s team win. Their prize? A summer beauty shoot in Seventeen magazine. Dominique proceeds to babble about how she was 5 and always wanted to be in Seventeen or some nonsense. Too bad the bitch looks about 50, so the whole 17 thing? I don’t think so.
The photo shoot is some weird plasticy floor sheet with water on it and they have be fluid and move gracefully while being shot from below. On to the photos.

Fatima – Nigel doesn’t like her and thinks she got lucky with the shot. Someone needs to listen to Nigel because Fatima is not good. Plus, she is far too skinny for the runway. She is grossly thin.

Dominique looks like a bug on the windshield. Seriously. What was up with her outfit during judging too? SHEER leggings and a “dress” that doesn’t cover your ass. C’mon. She was looking like Melrose in the freakshow photoshoot. Old womans face on a young girl’s body. Except in the case it was a hooker’s body.

Anya’s face looks weird in the shot. I don’t like it. I don’t see the fascination with her either. Maybe it is her Russian via Hawaii accent.

Kat got her hair cut, basically it is the same as her “emo hair“. She looks like she is swimming in this photo. The judges are loving her new hair.

Stacy Ann. Her face looks pretty bad in the photo. She needs to leave, but not before Dominique.

Whitney. She smiled in the water and turned out a fetus like shot. Okay, whatever.

Claire face planted diving into the water. Her face looks smushed up.

Lauren had a really rough time with this shoot and it showed. This was one of her worst photos.
Bottom two were Lauren and Claire. Claire went home. I really thought they were going to send Lauren home. Tyra continues to send all the modely girls home and keep the worst girls and make them Top Models. Perfect example of that: Dora the Explorer aka Saleisha. Ugh.

I’m so glad Lauren is still around. She needs to be a bit less grumpy but I still love her. I’d be frigid too, if I was surrounded by stupid people all the time. Like Fatima. I dislike her immensely.
Whitney is growing on me, definitely. Stacy Ann needs to get a new voice, already.
Also why didn’t they say anything about Anya’s hair at panel? It was NASTY! That girl needs to learn to put herself together.

Claire was amazing. I don’t think Tyra can recognize talent because she doesn’t have any. Worst top two ever, I didn’t want either to go home.
I love how after every Tyra Mail, they all clap. I’m sure they were instructed to do so.

I’ve always liked Nigel – they SHOULD listen to him! He is onto something with Fatima.
I can’t stand Saleisha’s Cover Girl promo commercials. She is terrible!

You’d think we’d be used to the Tyra bullshit by now….I don’t really think this photoshoot was very fair…why? um they all look the same to me

I really liked this photoshoot and I think that the pics are awesome, but all of their faces look busted. Whitney kicks ass again and I’m so glad that the breast milk drinker went home.

Haha, I love all your commentary on the photos. I felt the same way about most of them. And gah, Claire. I liked her. A lot. Boo. I hope Dom goes home next, seriously, ho needs to go.

I was suprised they kept Lauren. I like her but I thought Claire did better, since she has a better walk and all.
I also don’t like the Saleisha Cover Girl commercials.
But Dominque LOOKED the worst at panel, so I think she should have gone. Well, besides that I don’t like her. Then Fatima, like you say. B*tch thinks she’s better than everyone else

Um. Claire and Lauren totally turned me off this week. What is with the attitude and such? I still like Lauren, but she seems completely two-faced. As for Claire, after she did her whole, “YES!” thing when Aimee went hope, I stopped liking her. Just because she and Dominique don’t get along, I don’t think she needs to act like a three year old. Her stubborness and unwillingness to listen to Jay or the judges (face plant? Neck? Yes.) kinda demonstrate that.
I really am beginning to like Anya. I think she needs to work on her walk a bit, and her presence, but I am loving the quality of photos she takes. Her presence needs to become a bit more commanding, but I’m gunning for Whitney, Anya, and Katarzyna to open up and really kick ass on this season. Lauren, as beautiful her pictures are, she’s disappointing me a bit. Especially because that photo shoot looked like it would have been so much fun.

Is it just me or are they going overboard with creative photo shoots and are they really losing the quality of the photos? I’m getting annoyed that I really haven’t been blown away by any of the photos so far…the paint one was cool but I mean c’mon, can you come up with a budget over $40?
I will miss Claire. My money is now on weirdo Anya. Also, Tyra? Please cut the read-along and please stop calling Kat, Neutrogena.

Ugh! I hate that sing-songy reader board ritual, too. Make it stop!
Thanks for the recap. It was pre-empted last night for baseball.

Seriously. FFS. Saleisha sucked AAAAASSSSS.
My problem is that this is the THIRD season in a row that bitches I hate are making it through for no reason. Tyra is crazy.

I’m still sad that I have been missing this. I just can’t seem to remember ANTM comes on before Top Chef. *shrugs*
Dominique really DID look like a bug on a windshield. Bleh. The idea behind these photos looks pretty cool, though.

It’s interesting to see Whitney struggle with the plus size thing and not get way bogged down. She seems to have the most potential of all the plus size girls. Also, it makes me crazy that she is “plus sized” at a size 10.
I am so freaking sick of Dom–I hate to even see her. I think they want her to go home, they said she had a good photo, but still put her in the bottom two.
Lauren needs to wear heels all day and work on the Frankenstein walk. I love her, but she needs to get it together. I suck in heels too, but I would figure it out if my dream job was on the line.

This might have been the stupidest photo shoot in the history of ANTM. You couldn’t even see their faces!
Also, this is the first season in a while where it’s hard to predict the top three. Katrzxslrkszdsfdfadfsdfyna, Anya, and Whitney and/or Fatima are gonna be there–I think. Who knows.

omg, i hated lauren in this episode! i wanted her to leave so badly…it was kinda funny when claire face-planted into the sheet though. lol esp since jay had just told her not to! also agree with you about fatima being way too skinny – it’s just gross! she looks totally malnourished. I loved kat’s new hair – looks so fresh!
can’t wait for next week’s

I didn’t get to watch this week’s episode, so thanks for the rundown. I’m really sad to hear that Claire left, though! She was by far one of the most talented of the group, in my opinion. However, I do like Lauren, so i’m glad she stayed. Let’s hope one of the actual bad ones leave next week. HOPE!
Also, yes, reading the Tyra Mail? SO. ANNOYING.

Great recap as always! The Tyra mail: Listen! To! Us! We! Can! Read!
I have my fiance hating DoMANique. During the go-sees he couldn’t wait for her to have to model a bikini, because there was “no way that she could keep her p**** in that! He cracks me up!

I loved Claire and didn’t want her to go! Now I am rooting for Whitney.

I almost glad that I don’t watch anymore. I don’t think I could handle the way she does things. She doesn’t ever send the bad ones home.

Dora the explorer! HAHAHA..That is amazing.
I enjoyed Whitney and Anya’s photos the most this week. I’m glad they kept Lauren, though Claire was one of my favorites. I think after last weeks episode where she went off on Dominique, people stopped liking her as much. It didn’t effect my opinion of her, but it made me want to keep Lauren more. More awkward girls, please!
Dominique…Stacy Anne…seriously, how are they still here?

Man I hate Dominique so much. She needs to die. Now! And now that Amiee and Claire are gone I can only predict Kat. And seriously, Tyra needs to stop making a joke out of her name. Every time she does I think Kat dies a little on the inside.

Dude. I used to hate Dominique, but now? I think “loathe” applies. That’s harsher than just plain hate, right? The worst part – she hasn’t been doing horribly (well, not as bad as usual) in the competition, which has given her already over-inflated ego a boost.
I don’t mind Saleisha all that much. Now, Jaslene? Seriously, ANTM took a big credibility hit for me when she won. But then again, I’m not a talent agent, so what do I know? All I know is… Jaslene is pretty damned repulsive, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how she won.
Hopefully, the next three weeks will bring three cheers of “Finally!” One for Dominique, one for Stacy Ann, and one for Fatima. Order isn’t important; just get rid of those three already!

I don’t understand how someone as gangly as Lauren could possibly be a model. And that temper! Where the HELL did that come from??

Didn’t you love when Nigel said Dominique had a “something about Mary” thing going on at last judging. I laughed literally so loud in my living room I scared my dog- only because as soon as I saw her weird cowlick – I thought.. omg, something about mary. Nigel called her out- classic.
