Aunt Tyra Wants You to Vote!

Hour Two! We learn that Samantha is like Cycle 7’s Brooke—she’s missing graduation and prom to compete. Hopefully she doesn’t get eliminated on her graduation day like poor Brooke. The girls are on a rooftop. Two Brittany’s change their name. Cage Girl now goes by McKey, but I will still call her Cage Girl. Another Brittney goes by Sharaun (Shuran). The Jays, leaving the robot theme behind, tell the girls to get in their party bus and go to their new house. And we can go back to calling them Mr. Jay and Ms. J.

Tyra did her own awards show. And was there any competition for biggest makeover meltdown than Jaeda? I mean, come on. Continually bitching about the HAIR! The girls question Isis about hiding her junk (and yes, I will continue to refer to Isis with female pronouns). POOL PARTY! McKey seems to be bonding with Isis. Clark and Hannah are talking about Isis and they are uncomfortable. And Clark believes Isis doesn’t belong in the competition. Maybe her quest to be the house bitch will work, unlike Ebony who broke down quickly.

McKey fights and they steal something off the Rocky soundtrack. TYRA MAIL! Oh thank god they got read of the neon scroll. That was annoying last cycle. So, the girls board the bus and go to the Magic Castle. Ed Alonzo, he looks familiar, why does he look familiar? Anyway, he does some magic tricks with the help of the Jays. And he brings on NIGEL BARKER! *Drool* He then brings on Paulina. Oh thank god they brought her back. The four tell the girls they will be interviewing them to find out the real models. Ed Alonzo disappears.

It’s like speed dating! ShaRaun is up first, followed by McKey. When Lauren asks for tips about posing, Jay tells her to smile with her eyes. Oh, that phrase. Memorize it, love it. Tyra will repeat it over the cycle. Trust me. Oh, and my friend thinks Ed Alonzo vaguely resembles Alan Cumming. The girls return home to find a giant present on their lawn. They got shoes, jeans, dresses…I want that present. Marjorie and Sheena bond and Sheena thinks Marjorie needs to boost her self-esteem. The Tyra Mail says fashion isn’t the only way to make a statement.

The girls walk in to see Mr. Jay in a voting booth surrounded by an elephant and a donkey. Oh, we are now going to be encourage to vote. And the 18 years-old will be registered. ShaRaun is excited as her first election is the presidential one. So was mine…Four years ago. And Mike Rosenthal is our photographer.

Marjorie: Immigration. She’s a bit awkward, but if Amanda and Michelle taught us, awkward works.

Brittany: Military.

Clark: Bureaucracy, which she doesn’t even know. McKey doesn’t tell her, probably thinking she’s an idiot. And she’s getting the pretty Barbie, same face comments.

McKey: Environment. She doesn’t know how to be sexy until Mr. Jay tells her to start cage fighting. And the Rocky soundtrack kicks back in.

WHITNEY! We see her running around and trying on clothes. She talks about confidence and lip gloss.

Hannah: Nuclear Weapons.

Elina: Foreign policy. She’s smiling with her eyes. Tyra’s going to love her.

Isis: Privacy. ShaRaun doesn’t think she’ll be sexy as a man. The girls make nasty comments about her behind a voting booth. Isis says she’s going to stay there, though it looks like the confessional come from last episode.

Sheena: Gas prices. Jay tries to have her pull in the sexuality, yelling “Hooch!” when he thinks she’s going overboard.

Joslyn: Unemployment. Gets an “almost Tyra Banks hot.”

Analeigh:

ShaRaun: Homeland Security. She looks like she’s about to take flight due to the wind machine. Jay says she was stiff and unsexy.

Samantha: Economy. Worked it from the first shot.

Lauren Brie: Education.

Nikeysha: Cloning. She gets to pose with herself!

TYRA MAIL! Someone will be eliminated. Who? Marjorie thinks she’s going to get negative criticisms but realizes she needs to toughen up.

PANEL! Tyra blahs on about voting, suffragettes, etc. Prizes (Contract with Elite Model Management, Cover and 6 Page spread in Seventeen Magazine and a contract with Cover Girl). We meet the judges. Marjorie gets positive reviews. Nikeysha is already being tacked as the one who can’t take critiques. Tyra has a brother? In the Air Force? Hannah is accused of being too-Gossip Girl but yells it’s her favorite show. My sister loves the fact she doesn’t realize they are making fun of her. Judges debate.

ELIMINATION! Marjorie is the first and gets her pictures displayed in the house. Followed by: Isis, McKey, Joslyn, Elina, Samantha, Brittany, Sheena, Analeigh, Clark, Lauren Brie, and Hannah. Nikeysha and ShaRaun are in the bottom two. Nikeysha stays as ShaRaun is the first eliminate the one we’ll all be “Who?” when she flashes in the clip show. Tyra hugs ShaRaun, the girls cry and wave good-bye. ShaRaun leaves.

Next week: Kim and Sarah Round Two (I called it!), someone accuses Hannah of being racist.

I love Sheena and Marjorie. My sister likes Isis. Who do you want to see on top?
