antm 9 the girl who becomes america's next top model

saleisha is the america's next top model

And lo, another season of America"s Next Top Model has come to pass, much in the same vein of seasons past. Yes, it"s formula finale time, as the three remaining contestants struggle their way through a Cover Girl commercial and ad that has something to do with fruit and spritzing and lip gloss. Chantal seems to have her lines down the best, while Jenah struggles and almost needs cue cards. Saleisha also has a hard time nailing her lines, and actually has to take a moment to cry without messing up her eye makeup. Just like Tyra told her to! Imagine that. The first elimination of the episode is super-awkward, as both of the other girls name Jenah as the model with the least potential, and the panel totally makes her cry and elicits some mama issues after she says that the fact that she isn"t spewing rainbows doesn"t mean that she"s not a happy person. She gets eliminated, but wins the real prize of climbing that metaphorical wall and getting to know the self that"s on the other side. Or something like that. Saleisha and Chantal are thus the final two, and have a Seventeen photo shoot before embarking on their final runway challenge. As for the final runway show, Top Model apparently took advantage of the cheap Chinese labor and hired 500 extras to, like, either sit around and pray to the sun or stand around on lead-painted stilts as the girls walk. Sadly, this meant that there was only enough money left over to hire three people to be in the audience. The clothes are truly gorgeous, though. Saleisha Tootie-stomps her way down the catwalk, while Chantal gets tripped up when one of the guys on stilts gets caught on her train and falls down boom. In the end, it is as we all grimly suspected, and Saleisha takes home the crown. We can only hope that she finds as much success as Naima in her burgeoning modeling career.

antm 9 the girls go to the great wall

bianca's booted back

It"s the penultimate episode of the season! Heather is gone, and the others don"t miss her. Jenah is getting stressed, psyched out, and homesick, which doesn"t bode well. The others maintain their focus, with Bianca ready to cut a bitch to get into the final three, Chantal still convinced that modeling is her density, and Saleisha roller skating right along. As promised, the girls head to Beijing, where they get a lesson in four great Chinese beauties from Twiggy and Miss J. They think it"s another culturally irrelevant snoozefest, until they"re given the beauties" outfits to modernize and catwalk-ize. They get $200 and a trip to the mall, and are instructed to stay true to the story of their beauty. Bianca exhibits her stankest move yet as she sends Jenah on a wild Peking duck chase across the street, whence she has just come and found absolutely zilch. Jenah is mad, but she still manages to win the challenge. Yay! I love when stank Bianca is foiled. Jenah and her chosen friend, Chantal, get Chinese couture dresses made just for them. Or, it appears, altered just for them. Jenah also gets a one-on-one runway lesson with Miss J., who actually seems to give her some good tips. The week"s photo shoot takes place at the Great Wall, where the girls get to be the Mongols and Barbarians that they secretly are inside. Tyra is the photographer, which brings out some extra nerves in Jenah. Saleisha jumps in her shoot, and is treated like she"s the second coming of Jesus. Or Tyra. The girls also do a photo together, and Bianca wants to kill Saleisha for getting her bun all up in Bianca"s grille. At panel, Jenah breaks down a bit as she talks about being homesick and being a role model for her sisters. The judges wonder if she really wants to be there, and if she can hack it. Conversely, the judges are sure that Bianca wants to be there, but don"t know if there"s time for her to embark on the very extended learning curve that she needs. They land in the bottom two. In the end, the fact that Bianca is really fun to have around isn"t enough to save her, and she"s booted back to Queens.

antm 9 the girls go on go see adventure

heather heads home

It"s go-see time! The girls head to PT Models Shanghai, which is potentially located in a Motel 6, where they get their instructions, along with a driver and a translator. Heather is nervous, noting that she has a tendency to have "a little problem with first impressions." And also a tendency toward understatement. Though their translators help with directions, once the girls step out of the cab, they"re on their own. You would think that being dropped off outside of the building where they must go would lead to a high success rate, but then you wouldn"t be forgetting that Heather is still in the competition. She wanders around for a long time before actually making it to her first go-see, and once she"s there, the designer calls for eye contact. Bad times. She then ends up actually losing her driver and is pretty much a hopeless case. Saleisha and Bianca overlap on a go-see, and Saleisha deviously pleads ignorance when Bianca asks about the location of another designer that Saleisha has already seen. Turns out the designer is just a few floors up in the same building, and Saleisha"s bitchery is duly noted. Jenah, who is getting pissed about her perceived lack of personality, thinks she"s the best model ever, no matter what anyone else, including designers, tell her. Chantal learns an important lesson about underwear, and she, Jenah, and Heather learn that Shanghai traffic can be a bitch. They are disqualified for being late, which leaves Saleisha and Bianca as the only two challenge contenders. Delightfully, it"s Bianca who wins and sees her face on a boat billboard for the Beijing Olympics. The photo shoot for the week has the girls struggling to stand out amidst a busy backdrop. The fact that Nigel is the photographer doesn"t make things any easier, particularly for Jenah, whose sarcastic attempts at humor irk everyone, including Mr. Barker himself. She gets a bit of abuse for her arrogance and lack of charm at panel, where she lands in the bottom two with Heather. In a real shocker, Jenah gets the photo and Heather gets the Asperboot. Ultimately, I think it"s a cruel-to-be-kind sort of deal, but watching her hunch like Lurch out of the door of the Shanghai penthouse is still pretty sad

antm 9 the girls go to shanghai

lost in translation, lisa leap back home

The girls head to the bright lights and big city of Shanghai, where they act pretty much exactly the same way they did back in L.A. When the six girls are faced with a five-bed penthouse suite, there is a bit of ganging up on Heather, who is more than a little upset at being bedless. To avoid a scenario like last week"s infamous shower scene, Chantal intervenes, and Bianca and Jenah agree to share the big bed so that Heather doesn"t have to sleep in the hallway. The challenge for the week sees the girls learning some martial arts maneuvers, much to Heather"s delight. When they learn that they"ll have to pose on a wire, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon-style, most of the girls are pretty excited. Bianca, however -- who has a fear of heights that we hadn"t yet heard about -- kind of freaks out and ends up being disqualified when she refuses to continue to be airborne. Heather emerges victorious, and she and Chantal get a Shanghai shopping spree. The photo shoot for the week is a combination print ad/commercial for the Cover Girl Queen Collection. The girls get a script to memorize, and also get to ad lib a line about what makes each of them a queen. Too bad the Jays didn"t get to film one of these, too. No one is especially outstanding performing in the commercial, but Chantal and Saleisha rise to the top of the pack, such as it is. Bianca and Jenah get have several takes, and Jenah"s teeth have never looked more enormous. Heather totally sucks and has to be fed all her lines, one by one. Miraculously, she still sucks, though her photo turns out well. Lisa looks frightened, frightening, and miserable the whole time, and is continuously on the verge of tears. There"s nothing easy, breezy, or beautiful about that. The real standout is the guy who yells "Quiet on the set" in Chinese. Where"s his Seventeen cover shoot? Judging sees Heather getting a harsh critique, and she and Lisa land in the bottom two. In the end, Lisa gets sent back to the pole all broken-down and busted.

antm 9 the girl who starts to lose her cool

ambreal is stranded away

This week, Top Model tries to fool you into thinking you"re actually watching the Project Runway premiere as the girls find themselves becoming muses for fashion design students. Each girl has a Bea Arthur-approved powder blue "80s suit that is turned into a fashion-forward garment inspired by her personality. The girls then participate in a runway show in which they have to model said garment in front of a small audience and give a three-sentence speech about what makes them so muse-like. In what I"m sure is a huge shock, Heather has some problems with speaking in front of people, and it really gets her down. Back at home, she takes out her frustrations on the rest of the girls when she calls the shower first, but Saleisha and Lisa dart in before her. Likely traumatized by the time Bianca cut in line for the phone, Heather decides to take a stand. The real mystery here is why everyone showers together and/or hangs out in the bathroom while other people are showering. It"s like a Porky"s 3 fantasy. Let"s hope Heather doesn"t drop the soap. In the end, Heather kind of goes off, and the other girls are a little freaked out by her, and also a little tired of her. I myself am tired of hearing the word "fustrated." The photo shoot for the week finds the girls stranded in the desert, posing with a burning car. It"s all good times until Jenah"s weave goes up Michael Jackson-style. No, no, just kidding. But how awesome would that have been? If there ever was a weave that deserved to be incinerated, that one is it. While Bianca, Chantal, Jenah, and Saleisha sparkle Death Valley-style, Heather, Lisa, and Ambreal struggle to show off their sequined mini-dresses and look annoyed and hot all at the same time. At judging, a very colorful Chinese dragon-lion prances around the room and lets the girls know that the six who make it through judging will be going to Shanghai. Ambreal, however, will have to enjoy some General Tso"s stateside, because she finally gets the axe.

antm 9 the girl who crawl

she ain't heavy she's not a model, sarah's swan song

This week is all about modeling in front of a moving camera -- i.e., how to be a video ho. Or, according to teacher Tyra, a video model. Her master class sees the girls wearing nude leotards, much to the chagrin of retinas everywhere, and she imparts several important lessons to keep you on the correct side of the model/ho line. To wit, when you slide down a wall, your legs should be more or less closed, and when you crawl across the floor, you slide your knees rather than pick them up. It is a line as thin as one fine hair from Tyra"s wig, but we have no choice but to go with it. There are a few recurring themes throughout the episode. The first is that Bianca really likes to talk trash about Heather. Her basic issue is that people baby Heather, and even the judges cut her a lot of slack and hold back on their criticism of her. Like all of Bianca"s verbalizations, it"s stank with a grain of truth. The second theme is that Chantal thinks she"s really, really awesome. I mean, she thinks she"s even awesomer than she previously told us, which is kind of hard to believe. The third theme is that this show has totally given Sarah body image issues. She"s really down on herself, and feels too fat and too thin all at once. The girls get to put all of their new knowledge to use when they partake in a video shoot for Enrique Iglesias"s new single. Lisa gets picked for a little feature bit, to the disappointment of the others. It"s apparently because she"s really tall and has the right look, and has nothing to do with any stripper skills she picked up along the way, because that would be ho-ish. The video"s vampire theme also favors Heather, and so she gets a featured part as well. However, it all proves to be a bit too much for her, and after being on the hot and sweaty shoot all day with no food, she briefly passes out and requires some on-set medical attention. Some oxygen and a banana later, she"s good to go. At panel, Lisa and Heather get kudos for their work, Ambreal is in the middle, much to her delight, and Jenah learns the lesson that she"s not always perfect. However, it"s Chantal and Sarah who are in the final two, with Sarah sent home to deal with her newfound eating disorder on her own.

antm 9 the girl who gets a mango

think before you go, ebony's recycled home

This week is all about spokesmodeling and recyclable materials. Two great tastes that taste great together, I always like to say. Model Tyson Beckford comes to the house and makes the girls serve as spokesmodels for items from the kitchen. The word "moist" is used much too much for my liking. Tyson takes a bite out of Ambreal"s mango, and that is not a euphemism. Heather drops the Asperger"s act long enough to ride Tyson"s jock for a little while and to look especially pretty and not at all awkward throughout the episode. The girls then put their spokesmodel skills to use as they divide into teams of three and create PSAs for Keep A Child Alive, the organization behind the "I am African" ads. Everyone kind of effs up, and Heather, Jenah, and Ambreal win, somewhat inexplicably. While Jenah and Ambreal get gift baskets, Heather is randomly drawn to do a photo shoot for beauty product company Carol"s Daughter. The shoot is photographed by Matthew Rolston and art directed by Mary J. Blige, but the extent of Mary J."s art directing seems to be the suggestion that Heather get a tan. I guess she took the whole "no more drama" thing to heart. Nonetheless, she"s really nice to Heather and even begrudgingly lets Heather hug her. In a little closet slumber party, Ebony shocks the other girls by telling them she wants to go home. She means it, yo. The week"s photo shoot is all about high-fashion recycling, which luckily does not mean that anyone has to wear Tyra"s old Victoria"s Secret shelf bralette. Rather, they each are representing a recyclable material. Heather, as aluminum cans, goes face-on to prove herself to the judges. Saleisha, quite hilariously, is "car parts." Bianca has learned to smile with her eyes, which gets big ups from Jay and the panel, while Ambreal has apparently forgotten how to model. At panel, Nigel wears one of Miss J."s old fros, which is at least better than wearing one of Miss J."s old jock straps. Unsurprisingly, it"s Ebony and Ambreal in the final two. However...shocker! Tyra hands Ebony a photo, but Ebony tells her she doesn"t want to be there. Tyra gives a self-righteous speech about quitters before turning everything around so that it was fate that Ambreal stayed in the competition. We end the episode with a bit from Ebony"s casting video, which is I guess supposed to prove that she was a big waste of time, but really just demonstrates how much the show broke her spirit.

antm 9 the girl who is afraid of heights

janet is waxed off

I know it's been awhile since i last updated my blog but who cares about it anyway. In this episode the girls are trained how to pose in the mid air by guess who... benny ninja ( he's a regular in this cycle... beware miss j). janet was awkward and ambreal is the best since she is a dancer.
then the girl is challenged to pose in an ice skating ring where antm past winner danielle is a judge. Her accent is much much better cos it ain't sound hood anymore.
Once again, janet awkwardness slammed her while ambreal unsurprisingly do better but the challenge is won by lisa.
at the next photo shoot the girl had to be a gargoyle on top of an l.a. skyscraper. Ambreal who is afraid of height had to struggle in the photo shoot.
In the judging room, ambreal and janet was in the bottom two for their worst pictures respectively.
Unfortunately, janet was eliminated.
