ANTM: It's a Hoot!

Last time on “ANTM”: Alicia Keys stopped by to have the girls walk in a fashion show for her charity. It was a challenge which Kiara won. Then the girls posed as cheerleaders where we learned Laura had a fear of heights. This was after she had let Kristin share the Tyra Suite with her rather than BFF Leila and they had a big fight where Leila accused Laura of being self-centered and Laura broke down. But Leila ended up falling to the bottom with Brittany at panel and she was sent home. Eight girls remain; who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

Wannabe on top?


The girls come home to see Nastasia’s picture displayed in the house. She celebrates. But they are also reeling about Leila leaving. Nastasia asks Kiara to share the Tyra Suite with her. They explore their wardrobe and celebrate.

Laura says she’s over living with girls. And we see the Laura-Leila fight again. Victoria seems over it as well. Meanwhile, Brittany is still trying to figure out how she and Leila ended up in the bottom two. So is the audience. Brittany says Bryanboy made her feel like crap and Yvonne called him room. I don’t think Bryanboy was insulting Brittany but was just fed up with the entire situation. Elsewhere, Kristin is happy Leila is gone.

Yvonne calls a friend and complains about the days. Victoria thinks Yvonne is over the competition. She complains about not being treated like a human. Welcome to the world of modeling, Yvonne!

CREDITS!

The models are asleep except Victoria, who is on the treadmill. She says she’s really nervous after Leila’s elimination. They then go into a studio where a video game version of Rob introduces a video game version of Chrissy Teigan. They praise video games and reveal they model for them. Next they step out in their sensor outfits and tell them their challenge is to be a video game character. Laura is excited and says she’s a gamer. They bring in a stunt coordinator to school them.

The girls get into their suits as Victoria stretches. Mike, stunt guy, shows them the course they have to run. Laura goes first. She talks about modeling head to toe. Chrissy is impressed as is Taylor. Kristin talks about how Laura is her competition than we see her. The judges laugh at Kristin’s performance, but it seems positive. Yvonne goes next. Brittany doesn’t think she was trying. They speed through Kiara, Allyssa and Nastasia to get us to Victoria. Taylor is impressed with her acting but not her stunt work. Brittany hits the studio, determined to redeem herself. Chrissy and Taylor liked her.

Time to reveal the challenge winner—who will get an appearance in Unchartered 3.

COMMERCIALS!

The judges praise the girls and the winner is…Laura. Oh, I thought it was going to be Brittany. Anyway, Laura is happy. Brittany congratulates her and then gives herself a pep talk in confessional. Chrissy then talks to the models about social media. Especially how to deal with it. She tells them to laugh at themselves and make it entertaining. But to also be real. Laura says it was an eye-opener to her.

LA! Traffic! Laura is surprised she didn’t get a 10 while Nastasia is at the bottom with a 5. But Victoria is focused on her 6. She’s really scared about the competition. Brittany lets out her frustration about the challenge. Oh, fun time! Victoria calls her mom. And she breaks down, per usual. They miss each other. And her mom is her strength. Nothing new there.

COMMERCIALS!

LA! Oh dear Lord, P’trice is back. TYRA MAIL! “The clock is ticking get your booties in gear. It may not be the end of the world, but it’s the wild wild west out there.”

Johnny Wujek says that they are doing steampunk and Laura knows what it is. I went to a steampunk convention this past May myself. It’s not a bad genre. Anyway, their photographer this week is Mike Ruiz. They will be working with steampunk outfits, old trains and temperamental co-star to be met later. They think animals. Kristin says she can’t handle a monkey or a bird. Halfway through hair and makeup is, Mike Ruiz introduces their costar. It’s an owl, with sharp everything. Kristin is like “Damn.”

Laura goes first. Mike and Johnny are impressed by her body shapes. Bryanboy shows up and is impressed as well. Brittany goes to talk to Bryanboy about the panel. He tells her it wasn’t that she stayed, he was just disappointed and he tells her to be confident. Brittany then steps before the camera. Johnny likes her variety and fierceness. Laura is eating and wonders if they have to wait for the other girls to go before they can leave. Umm, you all take the same bus. So, yes.

Nastasia poses with Ruby the Owl and Johnny talks about her height. Kiara goes next and Victoria doesn’t think she does well. Allyssa poses with Ruby, who poops. Kristin takes her turn and is freaking out. Johnny tells her to stop and to model, give him attitude. Laura thinks this could eliminate her. Johnny thinks Yvonne’s skirt isn’t working and so he halts the shoot to change it. She makes a face and Bryanboy calls her out on it.

COMMERCIALS!

We come back to Bryanboy and Yvonne’s discussion. She gives an insincere apology and is sarcastic. Bryanboy is not pleased. Victoria talks about how much Yvonne complains. They change Yvonne’s skirt and Johnny tells her she looks annoyed. Victoria goes last and talks about her backstory. A long backstory…seriously, the people at the con didn’t have these elaborate backstories. Victoria is told to be less romance and more badass.

Kiara tells Yvonne Bryanboy is going to tell the judges but Yvonne is still pissed. And she looks pissed. But she goes to talk to Bryanboy and starts crying. He tells her to wait for panel and that this is an industry where people who judge you.

LA! Kristin asks if she sucked today because she’s nervous. Yvonne says her only hope is that Bryanboy says she got a good shot. Victoria is nervous as well.

COMMERCIALS!

PANEL! Tyra welcomes the girls. There are judges—Kelly Cutrone, Rob Evans and Bryanboy. There are prizes. Did Bryanboy get fashion tips from Ms. J? Anyway, there is scoring. Kiara is first. Kelly doesn’t like the face and looks old. Rob likes her legs. Tyra calls it strong. Bryanboy says social media isn’t too pleased with her. Someone calls her a man. Kelly gives her a 6, Rob a 7 and Tyra an 8. Next is Victoria. Tyra thinks she’s backpedaling and can do better. Kelly thinks it’s a useable shot and Rob thinks it is too safe. Bryanboy says her score is going down online. She then talks to the people “voting” despite the fact the voters are finished. Kelly gives her an 8, Rob a 6 and Tyra a 7. Kelly gave her a high score because she felt Victoria takes criticism well  and can grow.

Kristin follows. Kelly says her face is striking but the body is not great. Bryanboy says her fans are going away. Some guy calls it Model 101. Rob doesn’t like her body. Tyra says the close up is strong. Kelly gives her a 7, Rob a 6 and Tyra an 8. Nastasia is next. Kelly doesn’t like it but Tyra does. Byranboy says her fans like her and is the one to watch. Kelly gives her a 7, Rob a 5 and Tyra a 9 for intensity. Yvonne doesn’t impress Kelly and Rob thinks she can do more. Bryanboy says overtime her fanbase is going away. He brings up what happened at the shoot. She explains as well and Tyra is impressed she admitted she made a mistake and apologizes. Rob gives her a 7, Kelly a 5 and Tyra a 6.

Allyssa is next. Rob thinks she looks awkward while Kelly likes the twisted look to her body. Bryanboy says she’s middle-of-the-road online. Tyra says body is strong but she has dead eyes. Kelly and Tyra give her 8’s while Rob gives her a 7. Brittany is next. Kelly calls her ghostlike while Rob thinks it’s amazing. Tyra calls herself a proud big sister. She says she may have a brand. Bryanboy and her fans were impressed. Kelly gives her a 6, Rob a 9 and Tyra a 10. Last is Laura. Rob thinks it is strong and praises how she absorbs everything. Tyra loves it. Bryanboy says everyone was wowed. He plays a video where some guy praises Laura. Kelly praises her. She gets 10’s all around.

Tyra dismisses the girls.

COMMERCIALS!

ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to…Laura. She is joined by Brittany, Allyssa, Kristin, Kiara, and Nastasia. Our bottom two is Victoria and Yvonne. Victoria: Lost her fire, is quirky but trying to water it down. Yvonne: Strong model but her anger shows and held her back. So who stays? Victoria. She’s too entertaining to send home! Victoria says she can’t breathe so Tyra holds her in case she passes out.

Tyra then tells Yvonne she’s mad and she needs to show the world how amazing she is. Yvonne hugs the girls. She doesn’t blame Bryanboy and says they were both rude. She is sad to leave but is determined to do her best to get back in.

I’m not sorry to see Yvonne go. Now we need to get rid of Kristin—whose picture I did not like. I’m starting to get nervous for Victoria. She’s our weekly dose of fun crazy. We haven’t had that since Jade, though she was also a bitch. We have Kristin for that.

Next week: Road trip! Victoria is breaking down!
