Cheering~"Oddly enough no matter how pretty they are, Jay is still prettier. I am a big Jay fan so I say this with affection. The upkeep on Jay must be tremendous, we have the advanced tanorexia, the extra white teeth, the styled and colored locks, and all the gym time to stay so buff. I'm surprised he has time for TV. But I'm glad he does..."

OMG! I posted the reminder and completely forgot to watch! At least I got to read the recap. (I think it's broadcast again before next week, though, right?)

Oh Pea don't worry it will rerun, besides they didn't really do anything. The drama starts next week when they get to the house.

Cheering!!! So glad you skipped Top Chef!!
TDF..I think I just made that up..(too dam# funny)
It's so hard at the beginning to learn all their names.
I read books, I know stuff girl, Kittywax girl, Asberger syndrome girl, stripper girl...that's how I remember them. I do find it interesting how they aren't that attractive and then you see their photos and it's like WOW.

Thanks for yet again, an awesome recap. I think you missed your calling...you should be writing!
I'm already looking forward to next week!

Hey, what about the one who pulled that wad of paper from her nose, during her interview?! Good lord.

She was the almost plus size model wasn't she? Poor thing was trying to stand out and be memorable and I just wanted to forget her.

Jolly green models...yep they're going green. Tyra is all about saving the planet, one model at a time. We have the bio-green machine taking the girls to the house, which is probably made from recycled models. It's also full of tips on how to conserve; and I'm sure the models will follow them. I expect a visit from Al Gore to the house, maybe he'll even be a guest judge. He invented modeling you know.

They did the photo shoot with an anti-smoking theme. Bianca with the purple hair was trying to pick a fight with Lisa the lapdancer. There was a calm threat of throwing a cell phone at someones head. Then Bianca plays the stripper card on Lisa! Oh yes, she went there! All the drama was giving Heather a headache. Me too girl, get your own ice pack. I thought several girls did well on the shoot. Lisa was beautiful. Mila not so much. Heather took a strong picture. Ebony was trying to be nice to everyone which I think she thought meant she had to screw up her photos. She looked kind of stiff. But I'm not on the panel so what do I know.

At the house poor Heather tries to explain her condition, which really sets her apart from the others and gives them something to pick on. It's a cruel fact of nature, a pack of wild models will go after the weakest. I have to turn away, this is worse than Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom. I'll adjust the icepack to avoid seeing the painful reality. That's what I get for watching reality TV.

Now we have the challenge at Old Navy. The models get to pick out some stylin' clothes. Benny Ninja the poser (poser,what a great ripoff job) is there to remind us to, "not be boring". Benny is actually channeling Cyndi Lauper from back in the 80's. The girls trash the store trying to find the right stuff. I can't help but feel sorry for the poor retail clerk who had to clean up after them. Minimum wage, maximum rage...that's all I'm sayin'. I think Saleishia won the challenge as having the best style. I can see her clearly, but I'm not sure that's her name. (I had brain freeze from the headache ice pack). Anyway she gets to be in an Old Navy ad.

At the judging table I had to drag out my Tyra to English dictionary. We learned a new word..."hoochify". I love educational tv, this episode was brought to you by the letter H for hoochify. Anyway Ebony and Mila are in the bottom two. Mila goes home. You think the show's over right, but wait then Tyra drops the real news, smoking is banned at the house. Oh this should be funn, catty girls facing nicotine withdrawal. Hide the knives.

Cheering that was too funnny!!! Thanks for the recap!!

We didn't have to wait long to see the real biatch in the house. Unless the producers are editing it all weird, Bianca is the front runner. I think if you lift her purple hair you'll see the mark of the beast. She's watching her "friend" Kimberly practice walking. She gives her tips and then admits to the camera she is giving her bad information to make her look worse. (Like Kimberly needed that) Now Bianca is jealous of Heather's disability because people pity her and that's just not Fair! Bianca dear, being a nasty biatch is a disability too, so is having purple hair.

The girls have to walk for Ms J in straight jackets while in a mental hospital setting. His best tip for runway walking was "it's so important to use your legs" like this is new information. Crazy! But then they are in straight jackets. I'm writing it all down, use legs to walk... got it! The challenge is a couture fashion show on the runway and the winner goes to Paris in the designers fashion show. KEWL! Ebony tried to knock someone off the runway with her hair. It looked deliberate in the replay. I wanted to penalize her 15 yards but the referee missed the call. Heather can't keep up with her neck. Saleisha wins. She did a great job. I'm probably spelling that wrong, but work with me here.

The photo shoot was high fashion rock climbing. I did that just last weekend. With the exception of a few girls this seemed to come naturally to our models. Most of them took good pictures. I don't know if the competition is getting better or if these girls climb rock walls in heels all the time but it seemed easy to most of them. Bianca seemed angry at the wall. Well after all, it was getting alot of attention. It was in every picture, how unfair! Wow Ebony, those are some long legs. They look freakishly long to me even against all the other model wannabes with their long legs. It seems she could just step over the wall. But then what fun is that?

Speaking of fun our smart girl Victoria is about to have a smack down with Twiggy,the kindest judge up there. (She's the Paula Abdul of ANTM) Whenever Twiggy says something to her, Victoria has a comeback. She may be smart, she reads books after all, but it's best not to sass the judges. Janice Dickinson would have jumped over the table and kicked her butt already. I miss that.

Angry rock wall hater Bianca and Kimberly are in the bottom two. Bianca and the wall are encouraged to talk things out. Kimberly, who took too much bad advice from Bianca goes home. Wonder who's mad now?

Please let next week be the makeover or I'm gonna fly to L.A. & dye Bianca's purple hair myself.

I was so excited about "Pushing Daisies" that I totally forgot about my TM girls! The recap makes it all better, though, Lynne. Note to self: life without Tivo is cruel.

Oh Pea, you really didn't miss much. Just don't miss makeover week!!!!
Cheerings recaps are better than the show anyway.;-)

Cheering, I don't watch the show, but your recaps make me want to check it out. I don't believe the show could be anywhere as interesting as your recaps. You're a natural.

I love this show, it's a hoot. But it all really starts next week...Makeovers!!!
So jump in and watch. We'll catch up every Thursday dbuck. OL is right, not that much is happening yet though.

Pea did you like Pushing Daisies?

The makeovers show is NOT to be missed--I can't wait!
Cheering, I loved Pushing Daisies. One of the most original shows I've ever seen.

what is antm 9

America's Next Top Model- home of the most clueless reality show contestants outside of VH1.

America's Next Top Model- home of the most clueless reality show contestants outside of VH1.

Oh..... Don't think I'll be watching that one

It's here, better than Christmas morning, with even more excitement, drama and tears...it's Makeover Day!! Just like Santa, (minus a few pounds)Tyra will be pulling all kind of tricks from her bag. Get out the tissues, someone is gonna cry.

Ebony feels lonely without her hair. Really? Hair has always been there for me too, it is a good and faithful companion. It keeps me company most days. Maybe I could see what she means, but not so much, since she has more hair now than before. I think she misses her bangs. She has a Cher-Pochantas look now. Bianca's purple hair is gone. Purple=damaged. They shaved her hair really close (nearly bald) because of it's condition and give her a Beyounce look wig. She was crying, I don't blame her. Chantal is in love with her hair, it's all she can do to leave it alone. I thought Bianca was gonna get up and stab her with the shears. Chantal sweetie, when a girl is being shaved bald right next to you, make love to your new extensions in private. Lisa's hair is alot shorter, hope she straightens it. I thought it looked a bit like my grandmas overpermed, too short hair. (Sorry grandma) Jenah has long blond hair, I liked hers better before. But she seems happy. I suppose Tyra knows best.

Jay was evidently having a bad hair day himself. He was hiding it under his rat pack hat that he bought from Frank Sinatra's estate sale. Oddly enough the hat sat too high on his head for me, like it was resting on the little spikes of overmoused hair. He probably had a date later and didn't want hat-hair. I want Ms J to get the next makeover, his fro needs to go.

The challenge is makeup application with limited mirror space. Nigel is there and he shows off his pretty wife. (Bummer, I was hoping to one day be Mrs. Nigel) Anyway she's almost as pretty as Nigel and gives advice to our models as she helps judge the new look. Sarah wins the challenge.

The photo shoot is plant life. We have models pretending to be a rose, tulip and weed. Not that kind of weed, but Heather did a great job with the weed look, she tends to scare me anyway. Victoria was a cactus, and not a very good one. She's overthinking according to Jay. Well she is smart after all what did we expect? Sarah was ivy and she did a great job. Chantal is babies breath. She was a big baby. She cried when she felt over directed. She wasn't "the best babies breath she could be". She said she's wanted this since kindergarten. I was blissfully unaware of modeling back then. When I was in kindergarten, all I wanted was a longer recess and chocolate milk.

At the judges table Victoria and Ebony still have attitude problems. Too smart for her own good Victoria gets testy with the judges again. The judges liked Heather's, Jenah's, Sarah's and Ebony's pictures. Saleisha and Victoria are in the bottom two. Just so you know...karma is nasty; earlier in the show Saleisha says she will never be in the bottom two. Never say never.

But Victoria goes home where she can be smart and testy to everyone else. At least she has a new do to take home.

Lynne and OL, L'il Pea #3 was watching with me last night, and he had the perfect thing to add to Lynne's recap: "Mom, what flower was she (referring to Saleisha) supposed to be?" "She's a tulip." "She should have been a mushroom with that hair!"

So true! That poor thing, I'd rather be Bianca and have the wig.

That's great...a high fashion mushroom! Luv it!


Lynn, you made me LOL several times but I love your comment about kindergarten...me too gull...longer recess, gym everyday and chocolate milk!!:rofl: Soleisha needed to be humbled a bit.

Hey, can you believe that there was a Solisa on the Bachelor and then a Soleisha on ANTM...now you can see how/why I get my reality show mixed up!

Oh yes Solisa the Christian girl who can't keep her clothes on. I can ceratinly understand the confusion. I'd love to spend a few days in Kindergarten again, come with me.

Victoria is gone, so who will help the models with all the "smart" stuff? Don't worry they won't be lost. Janet is stepping into the mom role in the house. She is on them to keep the house clean. There did seem to be alot of dirty dishes. Which makes me wonder how this happens as they don't eat. But we can't dwell on that mystery, Heather is handing out advice to the other models. She can replace living legend Twiggy if she gets eliminated from the competition. A girl has to have options.

Benny the poser is back. I was hoping we were done with him. The girls have to do air emotions on a trampoline...funn! Well not for everyone. Then Benny takes it a step further, the models have to pose in the air, on ice. Alright some basic science, ice is hard. Models are practically skin and bones. Somebody is gonna die. Dani/Danielle is back to help judge. She looks wonderful and Tyra was right. Dani needed to fix her teeth and lose the accent, big improvement. So back to the challenge, no one got hurt, except me. I got a stitch in my side from laughing at Heather. She seemed to have gained alot of weight or was attacked by gravity because the skater couldn't lift her. Ebony was making the best faces I'd seen in a long time. Hilarious! Lisa wins the challenge and got to shoot an ad with Dani/Danielle for Seventeen. When she gets back to the house she's feeling unloved.
She made herself feel better by uttering the classic line used by models and Cheney, "I'm not here to make friends."

The photo shoot was to be model gargoyles on a skyscraper rooftop. Poor Ambreal can barely get up the stairs she's so scared. Alot of models seem to be afraid of heights. Since they are already taller than the rest of us and tower around on big heels you'd think they'd get used to heights. Not so much. Heather looked good. Lisa looked great but she is thinking too much according to Jay. Obviously thinking and modeling do not go well together. (Ask Victoria) Ebony looked good. Sarah didn't seem to know what a gargoyle was she just posed in normal model fashion.

The judges liked Lisa, Chantal and Heather (well actually they like only part of her, since she refuses to face the camera) Saliesha looks better this week too, probably cause they hid her hair. Lil Pea 3 is right I can't get the mushroom thing out of my head, but she's a much better gragoyle. Ebony is still giving attitude to the judges. She revealed her painful secret, she doesn't smile because she thinks her gums are too big. I understand, it's really hard to lose weight in your gums. You can exercise all day and do low carb, low fat diets, they just don't budge. I'm pretty sure even lipo won't help. There is a big gum support group (BGSG) for that. They help you learn how to dress in ways that cover the problem area and how to deal with this affliction. :roll: Dang get over yourself!

Bottom two-Ambreal and Janet. Janet goes home. Now the house is really going to go down the drain. Who's going to clean and nag?
