America’s Next Top Model: Who Won $$$, Who Cut Her Thumb, and Who Got Cut?

Cycle ten of America’s Next Top Model brought us an episode last night that has me loving Anya and loathing Whitney. Curious as to why?

So, we started out with fourteen girls, and now we have seven. I’ve never been so great at math, but I think that’s half down! So, it was time for the model’s to reflect. How did they feel?

Whitney voiced what I think a lot of fans are still thinking - they’re surprised Claire was eliminated. Lauren, our resident model underdog, said that she felt she really could be a model now. (This claim seems dubious when you watch her in action, though. She needs so much work in social situations, with her walk, etc…) Stacy-Ann said the competition now was FIERCE. That’s the lingo for any Top Model wannabe who has been schooled by Tyra Banks. Tyra has said that word more times on this show than anyone should say it in their entire life. Get.A.Thesaurus.

There was a whole drama with Fatima not having travel documents to leave the USA. She explained this to her fellow contestants. I don’t know what it is - but Fatima has mellowed and I like her now. Weird? Weird. Anya was supportive and nice, and Whitney looked pleased as a peach. I don’t know where that expression comes from, or how a peach can be pleased - but, whatever. She was damn happy.

Whitney has been giving more and more attitude and it’s not cool. I will go so far as to call it hellishly annoying. She has something negative to say about everyone, and whines about her plight as a plus-sized model. I’m not saying it’s easy for her or a girl in the modeling industry who isn’t a size two, but this record on repeat needs to get some sort of new perspective, or something. I think I lost my metaphor… But you know what I mean? Maybe it wouldn’t even bug me if she was a nice person who could exhibit more than bitterness towards everyone.

During the episode, Lauren was slicing an onion and cut her thumb badly enough that it warranted a hospital visit. Whitney had a nice comment of, “apparently Lauren doesn’t know how to use a knife” - geez. Accidents happen!

The ANTM contestants were delivered Jay Godfrey dresses to wear to a 7-UP party. Niiiice. (The dresses, I don’t know about the party.) Dominique couldn’t remember the name of the designer at the party. Niiiice. Guess who was partying with the contestants? April from America’s Next Top Model Cycle 2! I loved her! At the party, Anya did great, and I’m glad. I really have warmed up to her. Lauren swore on the red (green) carpet and that will probably remind Tyra of the cycle one winner aka the one whose name we shall not speak!

When Anya won the challenge, Whitney complained, saying Anya wasn’t the brightest star in the sky. That insult? Pretty lame. And what did Anya get for winning? Well, Anya not only got to do a photo shoot, she got $10,000!!!! Um, WOW!

Fatima finally got her travel documents, but missed the photo shoot. Tyra was mad with Fatima, of course. She said it like, five times.

What was the outcome of the shoot? Which, by the way - was gorgeous because they were evoking vintage jet-setters. Well, Anya did great in the photo shoot, and Dominique and Whitney did awful. The juding panel was right after the shoot. It was there because then they were going abroad aka overseas aka somewhere fabulous. So, probably not Nebraska.

Anya was called first. No surprise to me! The last two were Fatima and Stacy-Ann. Also predictable. While Tyra made a big deal out of Fatima missing the photo shoot, she still won out over Stacy-Ann. And that, my dear friends, is a huge blow. When a girl who doesn’t even have a photo beats you - well, ouch.

And then there were six.

And they’re off to Rome.

If you think the girls on Top Model are catty, you haven’t seen Girlicious yet. (And that means you’re smart.)
