So last week on ANTM, one of the plus size models was kicked off the show. This week, the other plus size model Whitney was determined to stay on the show despite being told every week that she doesn’t photograph like a model.
Also this week, Renee, the blonde girl, is really ostracized by the other girl, but for her own actions in previous weeks. She starts off the show talking about how much she hates the other girls in the house and how they hate her. She especially is angry at Sara because she wan the challenge the week before without merit. Sara had been given clothes and accessories by her own group but took credit for putting her ensemble together.
Tyra Mail! The girls find out that they will be meeting someone and possibly changing their name. They meet Lesley Hornby who is otherwise known as the famous model, Twiggy. She talks to the girls about the importance of having a catchy name and then brings out a for ANTM model, Melrose, formerly known as Melissa Rose.
Twiggy instructs them to write down a new nickname for themselves that would be their model names. Then she informs them that they will be using these names at a celebrity party they will attend that night. She also tells them how to act at a party giving them three suggestions. 1) Be eloquent. 2) Don’t Manipulate the conversation. 3) Humor. Try to be witty but not over the top.
Tyra Mail! The girls get a letter saying beware of funky cold medina at the party. The girls have no idea what that means but when they arrive, they see Tyra’s manager, Benny Medina, in an open glass room in the back of an elegant pool party. At the party there is also Bill Mahar, Tia and Tamara Mowry, Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton, and 50 Cent.
The girls are asked one by one to come in to meet Medina with other famous photographers and producers and supermodel Beverly Johnson, who are with him. They introduce themselves with their new names and make an impression. Jaslene and Jael keep their names which is appreciated since they are so different. Renee is chastised for her name Nayim which sounds like “name”. Whitney is also chastised for picking Whittel. But Deon impresses him with her elegance and also her name, Wholahay.
During all the interviews, Jael is bothering 50 Cent who is an out of control rapper. He asks her to leave him alone and she comes back to him with a drink. He tells her, “You ain’t supposed to be over here.” She replies, “Well, your eyes were calling me.” Then he says, “I asked you to leave.” And he pushes her in the pool. But Jael doesn’t stop. She swims around in the pool, laughing and having a good old time. The other models sit back and watch the horror except for Natasha. She decides to jump in with Jael. Needless to say, Medina is not impressed when they come in looking like wet dogs. He scolds them for messing with 50 Cent and tells them they look terrible.
After the party, Renee and Jael get into a verbal tussle at home when Jael tells her that she disrespected them all by saying that at least the party would give her some stimulating conversation. Jael curses at her for disrespecting people and Renee curses back saying she gets disrespected as well.
After the fight, it’s a photo shoot! The girls have to pick four personalities they want to portray. Most everyone does a good job except for Sara, Whitney and Jasleen. Jael is said to have had her best photo shoot ever.
After this photo shoot, Tyra has a sitdown with the girls about all of their issues they are having. Tyra finds out that pretty much everyone hates Renee. Tyra asks everyone to go around and say why which ends in Renee crying. So she apologizes to people for the things she’s said to them and she tells everyone that it’s something inside of her because she is missing her family so much.
At the voting session, the girls all line up and take their criticism. Jael has the best photos of course and is picked first. The rest of the girls follow with Whitey and Sara left behind. Tyra tells Whitney that her photos are pretty again but they don’t see the model in her. She needs more range. Sara is told again that her photos are “posey”. They don’t look genuine so she is sent home.
America’s Next Top Model airs Wednesday nights on the CW at 8pm.
