ANTM Goes Chiquita Bananas
The final six chicks of America’s Next Top Model start out in Brazil this week. They are teamed up and they go right into a challenge. They have to find the favorite flower of The Girl from Ipanema (birds of paradise), and then they have to find the Girl from Ipanema (in some park). Apparently, a real person inspired the song and they met her, but she looked way too young. The winners were Natalie and Fo. Their prize in a basket of flip flops with crystals in them. I do not wear flip flops and I abhor the whatever fashion rule that makes wearing them in public acceptable.
Carmen Miranda
The girls are then styled like Carmen Miranda and are told to bring the sex appeal. Natalie’s happy, cause apparently she considers that sex appeal is all she has to offer. Scarily, the girls barely seem to know who Carmen Miranda is or to know the Chiquita Banana song. (I know it!)
The girls go into panel and we get a look at their pics. Honestly, by this point in the competition, I’d expect them to be better. (ANTM is in over 120 countries. Do they all air twice a year? Does the world need 240 more top models every year?) The judges tell Aminat that she is boring. Natalie talks back and says that Jay told her to pose the same way for all 50 frames. Celia is missing the spark. Allison was probably one of the few that looked good. Fo looked more like Carmen Miranda than a model. Teyona looked like Carmen Miranda with attitude.
Into eliminations, the girls are called in this order: Allison, Teyona, Fo, Celia. The bottom two are: Aminat and Natalie. Tyra tells them: Natalie is one of the prettiest girls in the bunch and an obvious model, but she is uninspiring; Aminat has the best body in the group, but she thinks she is doing more than she really is doing. Who stays? Aminat.
Natalie goes home and I’m glad, cause I never really liked her attitude.

Ty-Ty STOP RIGGING ANTM. I refuse to watch the show again until the best candidate actually wins. OH hell, its too late. Now that Allison lost, I’ll never watch this crap show again.
Good Luck with your career Allison!!! The Top Model doesn’t mean much anyways, just ask Adrienne Curry!!
