America's Next Top Model: The Competition Gets Really Hairy
The girls calm down a bit this week on America's Next Top Model but the competition is stepped up as only half of the original contestants are left on the playing field.
And it turns out the playing field is moving...
Doesn't anybody knock in NYC?
The girls are just kickin' it in the house (and not arguing for once) and Pat Cleveland and Whitney Port walk in the door. They want to take them out on the town and the models even get to wear something from Whitney's collection. The glam squad is on hand to get the girls evening ready and as they primp and preen, Pat gets a one-on-one with each girl and hopes to help them bring out what is within them and let their true personality come through. Why do they insist on pushing this personality thing when clearly, there are a few who are completely personality-free?
The evening turns out to be a real drag
It turns out that the girls get their night out at the hottest drag queen club in town. Miss J shows up and announces a dreaded runway challenge. Poor Alexandra. Last time they did this she became the first contestant in the history of ANTM to fall completely off of a runway.
Angelea does well. Anslee doesn't show any personality. Krista owns her walk and the crowd loves her. She's the unanimous winner and she scores a tiara and a few delicious pieces from Whitney's collection.
Don't be tardy to the party
Once again, Alasia takes her sweet time getting ready to go out and the girls decide to leave her behind in the loft but at least they wait for her in the limo. However, they do make it clear that they are not about to wait for her again.
A hairy situation
The girls get to their photo shoot location and Weaven Steven and Derek J are on hand. The two hairstylists are known for making outfits completely out of hair. One word: Nasty. Somehow, the worst part about it is the smell. Actually, the models and their outfits end up looking really cool. They girls are split into teams. It's extra hard because as they are being photographed the other team is allowed to heckle, which puts more pressure on almost everyone.
Krista is focused and channels Grace Jones in the hope of getting best photo of the week and Mr. Jay is really happy with her shoot. Alexandra's outfit ended up looking less Barbarella and more Wilma Flinstone and the more critiques she received the more she started sucking.
Time to catch some Z's
When the girls arrive at panel everyone is nervous. But the four behind the desk claim to be tired and hope to catch some Z's. And everyone knows that the best way to fall asleep is to count sheep…in New Zealand. So after the judging one will be eliminated and only six will head down under.
The hairy photo shoot ends up producing some nice shots. Jessica doesn't have a "bad hair day." Tyra says that Krista's film was a "joy to go through." Anslee didn't take enough risks. Alasia did the same thing over and over again but she got lucky with a good shot. Alexandra looked awkward but her face looked stunning. Angelea took risks and they liked it. And Raina looked high fashion. It seems like everyone did well—until the judges start deliberating.
The flight to NZ is a full 22 hours long and the girl who gets best picture of the week gets to fly there first class. Krista gets it and she did earn it. And she selects Angelea to ride with her. If there's anyone who doesn't belong in first class…we digress. Anslee and Alexandra end up in the bottom two. Anslee has proven to be nothing more than a beauty model. And we all know that you must model H to T. Alexandra takes decent pictures and the judges are feeling a lack of drive from her. It turns out that Alexandra gets to stay and Anslee is sent home to her family.
Judgement day
It really seems like Alexandra is struggling in just about every aspect of the competition and while the judges recognize this, and her seeming lack of drive, they sent Anslee home. Do you think they made the right decision? Who should have gone home this week? Tell us in the comments.
