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.
