Easy, Breezy, Beautiful...

Last week: Clip show! The week before that: Tyra teach! Signature poses! Fiercee awards! Lauren Brie went home!

Seven models remain, who will be packing their Prada bag tonight?

On the bus, Sheena is recovering from being in the bottom two while Elina complains about Tyra not thinking she completely let-go. She bonds with Marjorie over being from Europe and how they were raised differed from the Americans. Sam once again shows why the rest of the world hates us when she asks if the girls moved here when they were younger so didn’t they have 11 years to adjust? Umm, Sam, it’s how they’re parents raised you—their parents are going to stop being European because they moved to America. The other girls tell them to stop using “immigrant” as an excuse.

Tyra Mail! “Work it, Sell it, Own it. Love, Tyra.” It’s the Aswirl Twins! They will once again teach the girls to work an accessory. They demonstrate their technique and then the models give it a shot. Marjorie is reminded to make sure she can get out of the skirt she tries on. The girls smell a challenge. And then some guy comes out in one of those motion capture suit—so on the screen you just see the clothes. The person takes off the hood to reveal James St. James! Wow, first the aswirl twins and now James St. James? He introduces Nony Tochtermann, whose outfits they will be modeling in the motion capture suits. She reminds them to sell the outfits. REMEMBER THAT SAM!

James St. James trades the motion capture suit for Wilma Flintstone’s rocks to introduce Ann Shoket, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen magazine. She says she is the judge and the winner will be featured in a holiday spread. Elina has problems breathing in the motion capture suit and she says she starts to panic. Maybe that’s what Tyra wants—for her to let go!

However, Elina says it was all forgotten once the music started and she walked down the runway. The others girl continue—Nony doesn’t look too thrilled. She scolds Joslyn for looking like a strip show. Sheena did too much movement. Marjorie’s dress fell down. Elina was praised. And Ann says the winner is Elina! She chooses Analeigh and Marjorie to share the prize. Samantha is upset and says that Elina is an atheist and doesn’t like the holidays like she does! But Elina, Marjorie and Analeigh have a fun shoot—and look good.

Tyra Mail! “A well-read model is always prompt. Love, Tyra.” The girls figure out it must be commercials. My sister thinks they are getting easier with these clues.

Joslyn says she wasn’t feeling well—My sister thinks she looks like a cross between Furonda and Tiffany. And then Sheena starts yelling at Marjorie and Elina because Marjorie laughed. Elina is confrontational and so is Sheena, so this is good but not as good as the Whitney v. Dominique battle from last cycle.

Whitney is a Cover Girl and doing photo shoots!

And we’re back! I missed the first part after the commercials because my sister needed my help going in the attic. I came back to hear Joslyn complaining about how she’s too sick to focus on her lines. So it is commercial time! Elina goes first and needs Jay to remind her to be conversational. McKey goes past the cue line. Is it bad I wish she fell down the stairs? Analeigh nails it—it looks like a Cover Girl commercial.

And then Joslyn is sick in a trash can.

Marjorie is next. Jay’s worried about her nerves. Jay calls cut and Marjorie starts to cry. Jay reminds her that the judges will get pickier and not coddle her for the rest of the competition. She nails it though. Sheena’s next. She likes turquoise and believes in the product. The director praises her. Jay tells Joslyn that if she feels sick to stop him and he won’t hold it against her. And she keeps laughing. I know usually yawn when I’m nauseous. Maybe Joslyn laughs? But it wraps. Jay and the Director hug!

Tyra Mail! “Tomorrow you will meet with the judges. Only six will continue on in the hopes of becoming America’s Next Top Model.” Sheena wishes Elina or Marjorie will go because they are hateful towards her. Marjorie worries about her breakdown on set.

PANEL! Prizes, judges, Mr. J’s bling, guest judge Frank Ockenfels, the commercial director. OH MY GOD IT’S A JUDGING CHALLENGE! INVOLVING CLOGS! I miss the judging challenge. Sam struggles a bit and you hear her fall off camera. And the clogs are important because the girls are going to AMSTERDAM! And the aswirl twins come in as windmills and the panel dresses up like Heidi. However, only six will go to Holland. Sam is first on the chopping block: She’s told to watch her annunciation and connect with the words. Marjorie: She sped right through that. Ms. J imitates a chicken to mock Marjorie’s head movements. Analeigh: Tyra praises her. She says it’s the best in the history of the show. She’s cited for using the product. Joslyn: Noted for a fake left, using her arms to inflect. Elina: Told to maintain eye contact. And is once again told to let go. Sheena: Ms. J makes fun of her movement. McKey: Gets the good picture, bad commercial comment.

Top Models in Action: Jaslene, Cycle 8’s winner. She continues to get photo shoots, walks the runway and does campaigns for Lot 29.

The judges deliberate. Tyra gets cuddly with Nigel. Paulina forgets Joslyn while Nigel doesn’t like the wink. Sheena is compared to a rattlesnake. Paulina says they don’t have models in the competition that are both photo and commercial models, except her and Tyra. Tyra says they should come out of retirement.

ELIMINATION! The first name called: Analeigh. Also going overseas are: Sheena, Samantha (oh good lord), Marjorie, and McKey. That leaves Joslyn and Elina in the bottom two. Oh boy, this is hard to call. Elina takes great pictures but isn’t so forthcoming with her personality. Joslyn has personality but has been sliding for weeks. But we all know Tyra loves her some personality. Joslyn is called a survivor but Elina is chosen to go to Amsterdam. Elina starts crying and looks genuinely happy. Tyra hugs Joslyn and tells her there is no pity points. She is told to practice. Then there is a group hug. Joslyn says she’ll survive and we’ll see her again.

Next: The girls go to Amsterdam! And do more running than on an episode of Doctor Who. They model in the red light district.

So, is Sheena going to be the new bitch of the house? Will Sam be chased out of Amsterdam for being the stereotypical American? Anyone else hoping that either Marjorie or Elina tells someone who complains about their complaining and say, “Guess what? We’re in Europe now!”?
