Last Night's Model

Here I go again, posting before you guys get a chance to respond. (Well, 2 of you did- thanks!)

But I just HAVE to write about last night's Model! It was crrrrrrazy funny!

First, Natasha, the silly, oblivious Russian import had a HORRIBLE photo shoot, even worse than her first (when she didn't know how to model yet and was stiff) because she was "sick". Well, lots of models have been sick before and delivered terrific shoots. One of my favorites, Joanie, felt ill when she posed like a mermaid in Thailand because she was hanging from the ceiling and was nauseated. Also, Carrie Dee suffered hypothermia in a swimming pool last year and she looked wonderful. If only we could all look hot while we felt like crap. (Or even when we feel good!)

Well, even though Nata did so poorly and for such a lame reason (she just had a cold or something while past sickies have had serious problems), she still always knows how to sell it at judging. You see, the judges asked the other 3 girls to name the best and worst among them and all 3 of them said Nata was the worst. The judges commented that they found this terribly puzzling as Nata is always warm and funny and even though they know they don't live in the house with the models and there could be something fishy going on they don't know about, it didn't make sense for the models to hate her so much. Unless...

They put her in the bottom 2 and deservedly so as she sucked bad in the photo shoot. But the other bottom dweller was Brown/Hoolahay/I-forget-her-real-name contestant who seems to have a problem not scowling in photographs or keeping up glamourous appearances in person, constantly reverting to "mall" looks. So as tension built, Tyra banks said, "Two beautiful girls stand before me but I am only holding one picture in my hands..." and did her usual spiel about why they might get eliminated. Brown was told she coudn't pose without help and always looked mean.

To Nata she said, "The judges wonder why all the girls don't like you when you have been so warm and funny here with us. Could there be something to their comments?" and she waited a moment. She then pulled out the photo...of Nata.

"We think they're just jealous."

Oooooohhhhh! You should have SEEN Jaslene's and Rene's faces. Color them READ. (Not red, READ: As in Tyra, Twiggy, Nigel and Miss Jay just READ YOU, hoochies!)

So let's see how much farther Natasha goes with her stupid delusions that she's done a great job even when she's been horrible. (I didn't get into her aboriginal "dance")

By the way, her priceless response to all the catty backstabbing? She said, "If it were [Victoria's Secret] Giselle Bunchen standing behind me I'd say she was the worst too because she'd be my biggest competition. And it's better to be talked about than to be unnoticed." Yeah, grrrl!

    Nice recap. Last night's episode was fabulous and sooooo fun!!!

    I like Natasha (the Russian mail order bride), and like (white trash-teenage mom) Renee's look, but I am rooting for Jaslene (the Puerto Rican Chicago ghetto diva)!

    Ugh! I'm SO over Jaslene. I mean, she'll probably win and in a way deserve it as she has been taking good pictures from Day One, BUT...she might just be a one-trick pony. If she wins, I'll TRY to be happy for her.
