Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead!


So it's now down to three. Finally, our prayers were answered and that evil spawn of Satan, Jayla, got sent home. The reason given was she hasn't "grown" like Bree who "takes good direction". Ironically, Bree almost got sent home because she didn't grow enough either...during puberty! She's apparently too short to be a Supermodel. Hopefully she will take directions- to the nearest airport.

I think the contest will be down to Nik and Nicole. They couldn't be more different physically but they are the two least extroverted of the contestants. Nicole is ditzy and sometimes gets this wounded/confused look on her face that almost makes me hear crickets in the background. And Nik, when she puts her hair in a bun and dons glasses looks nothing like a model. But she's got incredible height and poise and striking eyes and beautifully toned skin. Even her crazy curls are glorious. Nicole looks like a doll or like the girl next door. She has a perfect face and looks pretty no matter what. That can't be said about many of the contestants of Top Model, past and present. It probably can't even be said about Tyra!

So the girls were in London still and had no clue how to distinguish between vastly different looks: Mod, Preppy, Punk and Bollywood. Jayla as a "punk" was the most stupid. She had a headband on, a cute pink T, jeans and a little jacket. WHAT? Bree was supposed to be Preppy but her skirt was denim and barely covered her ghetto butt. Nicole had no clue what Bollywood even was so she didn't try and Nik was NOT Mod in her jeans and jacket. Oh well. Moving on...

I like repentance and Bree did hang out all day in London with her arch-nemesis Nicole and apologized to her for being a jerk and throwing away her Red Bull. They had wine and hugged. Awww...

Meanwhile, Nik hung out with Jayla and we were shown clips of Jayla dissing Nik as Jayla made mention of the situation early on in the competition. The old clips showed her true colors even as she presumably apologized. I always felt Nik let it slide too easily and Rafi thought she was mature for it but I reminded him she really had no idea what Jayla said about her and how she hated her. Well, after eliminations Jayla promised to "shadow the winner and make her nothing." Her claws out again, we saw she had no repentance at all. I think Bree's was real.

So let's see who Jayla has to "shadow" with her stick-out ears and wooden face. Nik, Nicole, or Bree? The real underdog right now is short little Bree. It's really between gigantic Nik and pert but stupid Nicole. Meanwhile, I bet Kim has already landed the cover of Out.

    I love your recap, spleengrrrl! I am rooting for either Nik or Nicole. Bree is so mean and immature. I like that she was human enough to apoligize and make up with Nicole.
    I do see Kim, like you said (on the phone), being more successful and becoming some kind of gay icon or role model. You know how the gays are in celebrating everyone who is out...

    You still watch that? Did you watch the "Bo and Hope Through the Years" retrospective on the Soap channel?

    Dear God, no! I think Sammy is good with what's-his-name, Austin's brother.

    Back to the topic ...

    The remaining models are incredibly dumb and illiterate. Lisa would totally have been able to tell them about mod and Bollywood. And she could read the Tyramail without getting hung up on big words like Tyra.

    I got all teared up when Bre and Nicole reconciled. I was about to write Bre off. She was wrong and probably suffering the effects of illness and some sort of mental (or eating) disorder.

    Big words, like Tyra... LOL!
    The girls are stupid. I miss Lisa and Kim. They would've known everything about mod, punk, Bollywood...
    I am rooting for Nik a little more than for Nicole

    Am I correct in presuming the demographic for this is women and gay guys? Because no straight guy I know is watching this show, especially smack in the midst of the best football season in years. I'm so glad I have no knowledge of either bollywood or mod.

    not that there's anything wrong with it...watching this show....
    are you saying ugly, stupid straigh guys can't watch it? Or that all guys who watch football are stupid or ugly? I don't get you

    but, I stand corrected

    By the way, Bree is 5 foot 8 inches tall. She looked short at panel last week because she went bare foot. Dumb. The four four web site has analyzed the shorty issue. Tyra will use it as an out to get rid of Bree. Sad.

    Yes, 5'8" is NOT short but I guess it is for model standards. I remember an episode of "Who's The Boss?" in which Samantha wants to be a model but she ends up being told she's too short. Obviously Alyssa Milano is gorgeous and sexy but I guess you have to be gigantic as well. At least 5' 10" anyway.

    I never thought Alyssa Milano was all that, even when she was getting it on with lesbian vampires (but then again I never saw those films)
