Top Model!
LA! Renee talks about how two people were sent home. And we get to see Marvin cry. Chris H apologizes for hitting people in the nuts and explains he was being foolish. He says he’s going to be cool and respect the others. And than Marvin starts crying…did the CW really try to get #boydrama trending? Anyway, he says he’s going to miss Kanani and Jeremy and he’d be a complete mess if Phil left. Like he isn’t a mess now? Cory’s like “Man up!”
At home, Jourdan’s face is once again on the screen. She talks about the negativity because she won. Renee says that when she beats Jourdan, it will be sweet. Marvin is still crying now that Jeremy gave him a note. He talks to it about Don and cries about how many people are leaving.
I think he needs a tissue box.
Wanna be on top?
Phil says he’s going crazy because he can’t run or bike. And he talks about his ADHD as he tries to jump over Jiana. But she’s like “No. Not going to happen. I did not sign up for Dancing with the Stars.” So Phil jumps over Marvin’s head as Jiana goes on about bringing it and the usual competition stuff.
The next day, Kelly meets them for their challenge and talks about My Every Need dot com. She tells them not bleep it up and Phil’s like, “Noted.” Kelly quizzes them on fashion. Every correct answer gets them money to put together a killer look. Winner gets a $2000 gift card. But first, they have to strip to their underwear and everyone is wearing black so no embarrassing boxers on the guys. Kelly starts the quiz. They are acknowledging Adrienne? Really? Wow. I’ll admit I first learned about Donatella Versace from Maya Rudolph’s impersonation on SNL. Phil has earned the least amount of money. Kelly releases them to go shopping. Marvin focuses on putting together his outfit and doesn’t cry.
Chris H is helping Nina. China not dead after all? Jiana is overwhelmed while Cory works his budget. Jourdan picks out the little black dress. Renee hopes her fashion sense helps her while Phil knows he is to blame for his lack of money. Renee is trying to find shows and Marvin’s like “He’s helping me.” She curses him while Marvin starts to get antsy as the guy is taking forever.

The guy is helping everyone but Marvin. Then he gives Marvin his shoes. Kelly introduces stylist Monica Rose, who works with the Kardashians and others. She’s the judge. She likes Jourdan’s dress but not the shoes. She asks if Cory was wearing men’s pants. Kelly made Marvin roll his pant legs down and Chris H does the same behind him. Monica isn’t feeling the shirt on Chris. She says Jiana’s dress is sexy and “bondage.” Jiana is a bit put off by it. Phil is wearing woman’s clothing and Monica says she’s uncomfortable. Kelly and Monica think he’s mocking the competition. She likes Nina’s look but not the shoes. Don explains his choices and Monica likes it. Don says he was hypnotizing Monica. She likes Renee’s choices but not together. And the challenge winner is…Don! He gets the gift card. And ice cream. He brings Marvin and Renee.
Don is trying to set up Marvin and Renee. Aww. Cory, Jiana and Phil have five’s. Jiana goes to cry about how she is falling toward the bottom. Marvin didn’t think Chris deserved a seven and he starts to talk smack. And now the hashtag is ChrisvsMarvin. Somehow women come up and Cory’s like neither of you are scoring so…You know what? I want Cory to pair up with Sophie and Ashley from the Americans vs. Brits cycle to do color commentary. As Chris and Marvin argue, we go to…

Nina calms down Chris (CHINA LIVES) while Don tries to calm Marvin down. Marvin keeps mumbling on…
The next day, we go to the Lanark Art Gallery. Photos of Tyra as different supermodels decorate the walls. Tyra then appears to say it’s a global art exhibit. And they get to be a part of it as living art exhibits. Paint will be thrown on them as Udo takes their picture. Everyone hits wardrobe and makeup. Tyra does Jourdan’s. Johnny then directs her shoot. She says it’s hard to keep posing as paint is tossed on you. This reminds me of the slushie challenge from “The Glee Project” (RIP). She does well.
Don is told to remember his neck. Cory rocks it again. And he loves it. Meanwhile, Chris H gets his makeup done by Tyra then goes to pose. Marvin watches. Renee says he struggles and Johnny says he’s doing a crazy eye thing. Chris says Marvin is getting to him. Marvin’s like “Hee, hee, hee…”
COMMERCIALS!
We come back to Chris’ crazy eyes and he says he just wants to get a really great shot. Johnny tells him to let go and not overthink it. Chris tries to get a hug. Marvin thinks his eyes are open but Johnny reveals they were closed. Cory thinks Marvin’s not in the shoot and Chris wants him to go home. He calls Marvin fake as Marvin struggles. Johnny doesn’t think he was listening to direction.
Renee gets her makeup done by Tyra and gets some angle tips. Johnny tells Renee to relax her face and gets a good shot from her. Jiana reveals she hates to be sticky. Johnny says her face looks dead and tells her to shoot in profile for her face. He tells her to learn her angles. Johnny tells Nina to commit to a pose and hold it. And Nina rocks it when she does. And Phil gets Tyra doing his makeup. He gets a beard trim and they pull his hair back. He hopes to get a good shot to counter his bad challenge score. Johnny thinks he’s being too safe. Don is worried that Phil might go home.
That’s a wrap!
At home, Chris H jumps into the girl’s shower to their annoyance. He asks why they are making a big deal. Because it’s their shower? She asks Cory why Chris is using their shower. He and Don don’t know. Jourdan’s like “Use another shower” and Chris is like “I did you a favor. I used up the cold water.” Really, dude? He’s like “Lay off me.”
While Chris argues downstairs, Marvin is dejected in the shower and worried he’s going home. He tells Don and Phil that he feels disconnected. They don’t know how to help. Phil asks if Marvin’s pushing away and he agrees. Phil tells him he can take care of himself and Don says he can talk to them no matter what. This is a sweet moment. Aww.
Marvin still needs a tissue box.
COMMERCIALS!
Tyra welcomes them to judging. There are judges—Kelly, Rob and Bryanboy. There are prizes. Marvin goes first. Rob likes the pose thought Kelly thinks it looks like he has a back ache. Tyra thought he was too tense and Bryanboy says social media wasn’t impressed. Scores: 7, 8, 9. Don is next and they applaud him for winning the challenge. Kelly doesn’t think it’s fashion. Rob tells him to work his body and Tyra says she sees athlete than model. Scores: 7, 6, 8. Jourdan follows. Rob likes that she gave neck after Tyra told her to do. Tyra and Kelly loves it. Bryanboy calls her the “Queen of social media.” Scores: 10, 10, 10. Tyra says the picture is in the top 20 best photos of Top Model history. When Phil steps forward, Tyra notes he struggled at the challenge. Phil reveals he’s wearing Johnny’s hat and Tyra gives him a makeover. Kelly doesn’t like the photo and Rob says he looks soft. Tyra likes the face but not the arm. A social media person calls him a lost baby Jesus. Scores: 5, 7, 6
Renee is next. Tyra says asking the questions helped her to excel. She compares her to Fatima (Cycle 10). Oh, Fatima. Kelly thinks she looks a bit mature. Scores: 7, 10, 8. Jiana is next. Kelly calls her the ghost of the Titanic. Rob says she looks awkward. Scores: 5, 7, 6. Chris H gets a makeover as well. Kelly loves the shot but Tyra wanted him to relax a bit more. Rob says Marvin looks more toned than Chris H and so he has to work harder. Scores: 9, 7, 8. Kelly thinks Cory’s shot is a bit “Friday the 13th.” Ha! Tyra likes it. Scores: 8, 9, 8. Nina is last. Rob thinks her shot is a bit safe but Kelly loves it. Tyra calls her strong and powerful. And says she’s playing against type and it works. Scores: 9, 8, 7. Tyra dismisses them as we go to…
COMMERCIALS!
ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to…Jourdan. She is joined by: Renee, Nina, Chris, Cory, Don, and Marvin. Which leaves Jiana and Phil in the bottom two. Phil: He has potential but falls apart under pressure. Jiana: Started off strong but went downhill. Does she understands her own beauty? Who stays? Phil. Jiana collapses to the floor as Phil tries to hug her. He takes his picture and then hugs her.
Tyra tells her the moment happened—she wasn’t called. But there is potential and if she takes strong pictures, she can comeback. Tyra tells her to look at it as a speed bump and to keep her eye on the other side. Jiana and Phil hug as Jiana says she screw it up. She thinks Phil will do fine.
America’s Next Top Model:
Renee
Nina
Marvin
Cory
Jourdan
And Jiana goes. I’m sad, she was one of the good ones. Though I guess she doesn’t have to worry about drowning in Marvin’s tears. He was a mess this episode, wasn’t he? Hopefully he pulls himself together because I think he could take it all. Though Cory and Jourdan could give him quite a fight. We’ll see.
Next week: Runway! Boys vs. Girls!
