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.
