How much did I love last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model? It was like everything I could ever dream for–my favorite model rocked that shit, the bitchy entitled chick got sent home and a samurai-themed photo shoot that didn’t look like it was inspired by a Lisa Frank trapper-keeper. I basically had a Tygasm.
Has anyone else been watching this cycle? ::crickets:: Well, too bad. That’s not going to stop me from doing these little recaps, because this has been one of my favorite cycles ever. Um, did I ever mention how much I hate calling seasons of ANTM “cycles”? It reminds me of menstruation or something.

To check out this week’s photo shoot, follow the JUMP:
BRITTANY: The guest judge kept calling this photo “sexy”. Apparently the guest judge gets turned on by “I’m going to kill you” looks. I’m starting to like Brit more as a model than a person, and I wish she’d show a little more personality.
ERIN: Erin got acrobatic on this shit! The judges criticized her for not showing enough confidence in her facial expressions, which I’d completely agree with. Much like Brittany, I like Erin more as a model than a person.
JENNIFER: I must have some skewed perspective on beauty, because I gave Jennifer a lot more credit than the judges did. She was relatively close to the bottom two! When this photo shoot leaked before the episode, I was actually worried they’d choose her for best picture (which Nicole understandably deserved).
LAURA: Unlike Brittany and Erin, I like Laura more as a person than a model. Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s absolutely stunning. But I’d rather sit on her porch down south, drinking sweet tea with her and her fashion-designer grandma.
NICOLE: Can they just let her win the competition already? I don’t care if she occasionally talks like an emotionless robot, Nicole is the most model-like girl in the running. In fact, when they went on go-sees earlier in the episode, nearly all the clients said they’d book her.
RAE: This is another instance where I thought the judges were completely wrong. Rae deserved to be chosen sooner in the final deliberation. She especially deserved to be chosen before Erin.
SUNDAI: Finally! I’ve been waiting for the judges to give Sundai a kick in the ass. She’s been getting by on mere cuteness, and now this might be the wake-up call she needs. Hopefully, we’ll see some improvement next week.
KARA: Well, this was long overdue. Whether it’s bad editing or poor performance, this has to be the least convincing samurai photo I’ve ever seen. She doesn’t look like she’s going to kick my ass. She looks like… well, atrocious. Good riddance!
I pretty much agree with you on everyone except Jennifer. I thought her photos were crap. I would have put her in the bottom two with Kara.
I love this cycle of ANTM too, however, I’ve got to say your recapping of it is totally redundant, there are so many others who do this (and sadly, do it better, no offense meant, there are just some hilariously funny people out there, rich from four four comes to mind). I had been blogging about ANTM since cycle 5 ended, and I gave it up before last cycle since I could tell it was just redundant and a poor imitation of rich at four four and other people too.
You are so wrong,Jennifer rocked the shoot,and even tho she’s not ‘model-ish’,she kicks ass here!She deserved to be near top!Haters.
sigh, Kara isn’t a samurai u ignorant twat, it’s Baguazhang, Chinese fencing, and it’s gorgeous to watch. Looks like Nicole is using something similar. Rae is using a halberd-like weapon called a Ji (gee) and most everyone else looks like they’re using a Korean broadsword.
