Aimee is in awe of all the compliments she’s gotten. Claire is missing her husband and daughter. Apparently she still pumps her breast milk for her daughter. I assume she then ships that? Not quite sure how that works.
Then we have our first fight — Dominique sets her alarm way early and since the girls sleep in one room, it’s torquing a lot of people off, especially Claire. The editors make it seem like this fight goes on all day. Lauren calls Dominique verbal diarrhea. So of course Dominique goes in the phone room and talks to her mom. She feels hurt. Boo-hoo Dominique. I’d want to slap you too if you let your alarm go off seven times without shutting it off.
Tyra Mail! The girls are sick and Tyra’s going to make them better. Uh-oh. Tyra plays chauffeur. Well, we’re led to believe that she’s driving. She tells them to go upstairs and get dressed. So all of our models wear matching red outfits for a Tyra runway class. There’s a lot of fierceness and ‘feel it.’ Tyra fakes an injury and goes into a weird fake voguing. This transitions into Tyra’s ‘beauty and pain’ lesson. Model secret — when all else fails, fake an injury while looking fierce.
Tyra challenges the girls to a pose-off. The girls were given a specific pain to convey, but beautifully. Lots of girls do well. Lauren gets sore palms. Come on — sore palms?
TyraMail! Tyra’s been aching to tell the girls that tonight’s lesson was a challenge. Anya is told via TyraMail that she’s won a one-on-one photo shoot with Nigel. She’s super excited. Next day, she heads to the photo shoot. For some reason they need shots of her naked on a bed. We’re not told why they need naked shots. We’re told that clothes date photos, which is true, but we’re not told what the photos are for. Aimee’s glad it wasn’t her, since she was raised Mormon.
Later at the ranch, Dominique is feeling poorly and for some reason the girls who have been fighting with her are talking about her in the same room. It’s way snotty.
Aimee talks about her passion for modeling and how she really wants it to be her career. I hate to break it to her, but she’ll have to be naked.
Photo shoot — the girls go to Brooklyn and have to embody a certain style of music. Fatima has to be a heavy metal rocker chick. Jay notes that when she gets in front of the camera, she gets posy. Katarzyna is an emo girl. Lauren is a poppy girl. Claire is country, but kind of in a Dolly Parton-kd lang weird hybrid. Dominique is a hippy girl, a draggy hippy girl. Anya is punk girl. Stacy-ann is the House DJ club kid. The photographer found her too posy. Aimee is R&B in a gold lamé dress. She’s stiff. Whitney is grunge girl up on an old diving board. Jay calls her genius.
TyraMail! Guess what, someone’s getting eliminated from America’s Next Top Model. Shocking, I know. Aimee confesses that she didn’t know what to do. Claire is also worried. Lauren is worried. A house full of worried girls.
Time for panel. Whitney’s up first and the judges love her. Tyra was shocked by Fatima, but in a good way. Anya is reminded to find her light. Lauren is told to be more present at panel. Paulina tells Aimee she’s not working. Stacy-ann is called obvious. Miss Jay calls emo white music, but the judges love Katarzyna. Claire is told that she had a terrible shot. The judges love Dominique’s shot. A lot of conflict and drama!
But Claire is still throwing down the Cover Girl of the Week contest. We’ll see if that happens next week.
Panel highlights: Paulina calls Aimee a bad Las Vegas garbage performer. Ouch. The judges decide to chop off Katarzyna’s hair based on this photo shoot. Stacy-ann is called a Jamaican DJ.
In a shocking conclusion, Aimee and Claire are in the bottom two. Tyra calls them neck and neck in having the worst photos. What’s not a shock is that Claire stays. She first has to give a big cheer for herself. Once she’s told that she’s still in the running towards becoming America’s Next Top Model, then she goes back to comfort Aimee. A little snotty there, Claire. Miss Jay removes her velcro name from his vest. Dramatic.
Next week, we have an early go-see challenge and Lauren goes ballistic. Fun!
