Watching The CW

I think that the episodes get stronger the further into the cycle we get. It is easier to keep a track of who’s who when we are down to 9 or so girls, and we start to get more time spent on the photo shoots and challenges. Plus, we can start to look forward to when they whittle down the numbers enough for them to go overseas and get the girls really out of their comfort zone. I love it when they have to do their “go sees” and they get lost in Jo’berg, Paris or wherever. Kinda hoping they go to London this year so they could show Britain’s Next Top Model how it is really done.

This show was really all about how mean Sarah was and how much Dionne is improving. Sarah managed to put everyone’s nose out of joint by taking credit for an outfit that the other girls in her team put together, and of course won a prize. Thankfully it was not a bracelet like last week otherwise there would have bloodshed on the catwalk, but it was the option for additional frames at the end of her photo shoot and the opportunity to review them. The first mini-challenge slash lesson was with some ladies from Elite and this really was their first exposure to the types of people who will be getting them work. Sadly, Jael’s attitude whilst fun for her co-models is not professional enough and I think that next week she will be one of the final two.

The photo shoot was crossing dressing but the powers that be at ANTM have to get such big, butch drag queens to pose along side our girls? The hands down best bit was Natasha as a ‘Hip Hop’ boy she was completely in character, fashioned herself a metal tooth and nailed it. At the elimination Tyra was too cute for school with her bangs and what is up with Miss J. and the ruffles??? I thought Tyra was joking when she said that for every girl eliminated Miss J. would add a ruffle. Any how, Dionne improved her look from last weeks mall rat effort to fierce would-be supermodel. The plus sized gals were the final two and Diana went home. For some weird reason she photographs like a plain Jane.

Just a couple of things - is it just me or do a lot of the girls have bad skin and why has Renee started wearing head scarfs like Jemima Khan?
