Watching The CW

I’m feeling pretty sick today. The doc says I have pneumonia. So my traditional recap of America’s Next Top Model is going to be a little less, um, recappy.

The ep starts out with all the girls complaining about how Sandra’s pic was not the best. Then they are visited by Toccara from Cycle 3. I really liked her. Toccara brings them some clothes as presents and then they have a sleepover while she talks to the models about personality and confidence.

Then they meet with Benny Ninja who talks to the chicks about posing and confidence. Their challenge is then to have a pose off with a live audience. Celia was the winner and she really did look great.

Next they have a photo shoot at Ellis Island, using old film with a long exposure, posing as immigrants with Benny as their husband and some children.

After all the cycles of this show that I’ve seen, I shouldn’t be surprised anymore when the person who is the worst is the one who thinks she’s the best. But sometimes I wonder if any of these girls have ever watched the show before, when they start acting all ridiculous and like they are better than everyone else. I am referring here, mostly to Sandra, but she’s not the only one with a ‘tude. Just the one who is annoying me the most this week.

The pics from the shoot came out looking really cool. I love that old fashioned look.

Going into panel, the girls are called in this order: Tahlia, Teyona, Allison, Natalie, London, Aminat, Celia, Fo. The bottom two are Sandra and Kortnie. Tyra tells them: Its interesting that its the two of them cause they are both so pretty; Kortnie, when they are in person with her she has such an alertness, but her pictures don’t have that; Sandra is a disappointment because she is just resting on being pretty and Benny Ninja said her performance was disappointing.

So who stays: Sandra. Oh, yuck! But Kortnie is gone and I’m really OK with that.

Then Celia gets up and says that Tahlia told them she did not want to be in the competition and that its unfair for Kortnie to go home when Tahlia doesn’t want to be there. Tyra puts her right back in place. Good old Tyra. I never thought of Celia as a trouble maker before, but she really should have kept her mouth shut and minded her own business.
