ANTM: 8.2

by

In three acts: pose, duel and eradicate.

I know that it is early, but I am not feeling this cycle of ANTM. Anyone else got trainee model fatigue? Underwhelmed with this week’s school themed episode? Even the in-house bickering was boring. I think I need the Tyra sanctioned make-over episode as it is always good for meltdowns, and for the girls to be whittled down to a manageable number.

This week’s challenge was high school prom themed, and it was all very Romy and Michelle. It is amazing how tricky it is for three girls to do synchronized walking - all that boot camp marching is not paying off. I was confused as to why the Master of Ceremonies kept stressing it was a live fashion show.. hmm as apposed to those taped shows in Milan and Paris??? Amazed how many of the girls crashed into one another, but the highlight was when Sarah flashed the audience (sadly this was not brought up at her elim). Hubris struck Jaslene as she had her trade mark fierce walk ripped to pieces by the Master. She needn’t have worried as the prize (won by Brittany) wasn’t all that to write home about… a gigantic ghetto fabulous trophy.

The photo shoot was ‘High School Cliches’ the girls were styled as nerds, teacher’s pet, girl with bad rep, jock, class clown, etc. I think Jael came off best as she happily admitted that she like her exaggerated nerd outfit so much she’d wear it in real life. In the elimination round it came down to ‘Teacher’s Pet’ (Natasha) vs. ‘Girl with a Bad Rep’ (Samantha), the latter went home.

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls). This blog will review, recap, share spoilers and other cool finds related to the CW's programming.
