ANTM Goes To The Theater
I had to watch America’s Next Top Model on little youtube videos in 8 minute increments, taking all my notes by hand, instead of how I normally do, right onto the computer. All because my TV lacks the CW. Sooooo sad. My review may not be as extensive as usual. But who knows, maybe I’ll ramble even more than normal.
The show starts with Elina and Samantha complaining about super strict parents. Yes, Elina’s parents do sound like they were on the very strict side, but I think its nice to have parents who are more on the strict side. Kids don’t need more friends growing up, they need parents. Lauren Brie is packing some of her stuff, fully prepared to go home this week. The other girls are busy discussing Analeigh, in front of her, trying to determine if she’s really model material. Poor little thing.
The girls meet up with Tyra, who wants to teach them about having a signature style. Tyra coaches them through a photo shoot, helping them choose their own style. Analeigh is a rebel skater, McKey is a boxer, Samantha thinks her style is in her hands, Lauren Brie is uncertain and says her style is “just me” but Tyra calls her a surfer chick, Sheena says its her butt while Tyra says her style is cultural dance, Josyln says its posing wide but Tyra says its her profile, Elina wants to be the top model of the world, and Marjorie says she’s the Hunchback of Notre Dame. So basically, they either didn’t know their style or picked something stupid. After the shoot, Tyra tells them it was a challenge, and weirdly enough, Marjorie won. Her photos as a hunchback were really pretty good.
Marjorie picked Analeigh to share in the challenge win and the two walk away with some really expensive jewelry.
The chicks then all go to the Orpheum Theater for a photo shoot - The Fiercee Awards. (Sorry, but I think that’s a stupid name.) The theater is really beautiful, though. The shoot is to pose in embarrassing situations at an awards show.
Marjorie has to pee, but she can’t get out of her gown. Samantha is a presenter who can’t see the cue cards. Elina is an over emotional winner who can’t stop crying. Lauren Brie trips going up the stairs. McKey is a nominee who thought she would win but doesn’t. Sheena has someone step on the train of her gown. Joslyn is in the same dress as someone else. Analeigh is an interview with an attitude.
At panel, the pics were interesting, if nothing else. Actually most were pretty good, like McKey, Analeigh, Joslyn and Marjorie. Sheena and Elina were just OK, and Samantha and Lauren Brie were pretty bad. If it was me, we could lose Samantha, Lauren Brie or Sheena, but I think Elina deserves another chance.
Onto eliminations, the girls were called in this order: Marjorie (so she won the challenge and the best pic), Analeigh (so much for all the others thinking she’s not model material), McKey, Samantha (that was a surprise to me), Elina and Joslyn. The bottom two were Sheena and Lauren Brie.
Tyra tells them Lauren Brie has high fashion beauty but lacks personality, Sheena has a great personality but is not truly model-esque. So who goes home? Lauren Brie. I’m not going to miss her. She was still making excuses as she left, saying she felt sorry for them that they couldn’t see she had a great personality. Then she admitted that she had pretty much lost the desire anyway cause it was so hard.
One question I was asking myself was does she know that Brie is a kind of cheese?
