Birds of the Jungle on ANTM
This week on America’s Next Top Model the girls start out at a dance hall to learn the samba. I wanted to get up and dance right along with them. The samba looks like fun. The only one of the girls that really seemed to have any natural rhythym was Aminat. Also, Paulina Porizkova told Celia that she was old and that desperation wasn’t sexy. I find it humorous that someone is considered old at 25. In my book, girls at that age have barely finished cooking.
The challenge is to dance the samba with a partner, as though they were at a photo shoot. The prize is $7000 worth of jewelry. Aminat and Celia were the best, and Allison and Teyona were not so good. Celia was the winner, which surprised me, cause I thought for sure it was Aminat. The jewelry consisted of one pair of earrings and a necklace. If that’s $7000 worth, I’m glad I don’t wear jewelry.
For the photo shoot, the girls are given really wild hair and makeup. Then they are driven out of the city for about two hours, into the jungle. They find out that Tyra is going to be the photographer. The girls are to be birds, so they are dressed with feathers. I do wonder what they are selling, since Allison, the first one out, is dressed in a white corset, red painties, a black feathery bra and yellow heels.
The shoot did look interesting, but I would not have been happy standing around in the jungle, with all the bugs and whatever. I am not a fan of creepy, crawly stuff. The pictures looked very cool, but then Tyra always does a great job.
Going into panel, the girls are called in this order: Allison, Teyona. The bottom two are: Aminat and Celia. Tyra tells them: They both have something in common, strength from the neck down. Aminat has a problem with the way light hits her face in photos; Celia’s face is strong but maybe too mature. Who stays in the competition: Aminat.
Celia goes home. Just when I was thinking she might actually win, too.

Celia was my favorite.
And if she’s old, then I’m old… thanks, Paulina! Also, does anyone else find it a little hypocritical that Paulina is calling Celia old… :p

I liked Celia originally, but then she started to get on my nerves a little.
I did think that about Paulina saying Celia is old when she’s so old. Celia was probably thinking the same thing, too!

Eh..I don’t think Celia looks too old. The problem is she is cross-eyed and looks kind of like she has Downs Syndrome. Go Celia!!! she could be the first Downs Syndrome model ever!!
