Nicole and the Bitchly Duo!

Last week on America’s Next Top Model: After a visit to Wilhelmina Models, Rachel was sent home in a surprise elimination. Meanwhile, Tyra got tired of saying “smiling with your eyes” and shortened it to “smize.” The girls posed semi-nude on horses. Nicole, Brittany and Laura wowed the judges, including guest Lauren Conrad, while Bianca and Courtney ended up in the bottom two. In the end, Courtney was sent home for giving up. Which model goes home tonight? Find out!

Wanna be on top?

LA! Bianca talks about being in the bottom two for a second week. Ashley worries that her dancing may be a hindrance. Then she and Lulu bitch about Bianca, which annoys Nicole.

TYRA MAIL! “How old were you when you learned to walk?” The model wannabes figure this one out: RUNWAY! Ms. J has a Mini-Jay. Kara is impressed. Mini-Jay is 9 years-old Diva Davanna. She is good. She sends the girls back to change while Brittany talks about showing her sexy side. Sundai bores Ms. J. Lul thinks she has a signature walk. Ms. J doesn’t like it. Ms. J sees Brittany’s sexiness. Bianca’s walk is salvageable. Dancing almost works in Ashley’s favor. They practice walking in tandem. Ms. J releases them to practice.

Bianca misses Courtney…till Sundai tells her Courtney talked about her. Then Ashley tells her to put her eyebrows down. Just yells it at her. I think the girls (namely, Lulu and Ashley) think that Bianca is getting the bitch edit…but Ashley is the bitch and Lulu is her sidekick.

TYRA MAIL! “If you don’t walk tall, you’ll come up short.” The girls worry about another surprise elimination. Ashley and Lulu continue their bitch streak on Brittany’s walk.

MALIBU! Ms. J introduces Kevan Hall as their designer. The girls will walk in tandem with tall models. The girls go to hair and make-up. Ann Shoket appearance! The winner of the runway challenge will get an editorial in Seventeen. As the models eat, Lulu talks about Bianca. The girls freak out about their bigger companions. The show begins! Brittany impresses. More about Lulu’s signature walk! Bianca hoped the tranquility of the scene helped her look calm. Laura loved the runway. Critique time. Laura and Brittany get praised. Lulu had no energy. Dance hinders Ashley. And the winner is Brittany! Yay! Take that, Lulu and Ashley! Brittany picks Laura and Kara to share her prize. Laura’s so happy, it’s adorable.

The girls model prom dresses.

Nicole and Brittany try to help Bianca to bring out her soft side. She admits to being in an abusive relationship. Strength helped her leave and God is helping her heal. Ashley and Lulu think Bianca is playing Nicole, calling her naïve. Nicole calls Ashley a mean girl. Bianca prays as the Bitchy duo tries to convince Nicole that Bianca is bad.

TYRA MAIL! “Objects in mirror may be shorter than they appear.” Model wannabes be stumped.

Mr. Jay meets the girls to challenge them to work their proportions to look tall. He sends the girls to hair and make up. Wait. Where’s Sutan? What happened to Sutan? Lulu keeps talking trash. Brittany is surprised that the girls can watch her shoot. She struggles. Kara has potential. Laura rocks it. Mr. Jay struggles with Lulu. Uses “ish” a lot. Jennifer is fabulous. Nicole nails it. Ashley tries to lose the dance. Mr. Jay likes her shoot. Sundai tries to watch her pout. Rae is okay while Erin is gorgeous. Jesus brings out Bianca’s softer side.

Tomorrow someone goes home. The Bitchy Duo gossip while Brittany and Nicole talk about them, particularly their comments to Brittany while she was practicing her walk.

TYRA! PANEL! There are judges, there are prizes, there are Ms. J’s sleeves and there is Jaime Rishar. She’s a petite model and was on the cover of Italian Vogue twice in a row! Erin is first. She can look taller. Nigel likes her looks, Jaime likes her legs. Nigel likes Bianca’s soft face. Tyra praises the back of Bianca’s neck. Brittany looks her height. Tyra and Jaime give her tips. Sundai gets outfit advice. They love her confidence. Laura looks smaller. Tyra praises Jennifer’s photo. Nicole boggles and wows the judges. They let Lulu have it. Kara is strong. Tyra likes how she used the set to her advantage. Rae doesn’t look taller. Nigel tells her about angles. Judges are “eh” on Ashley.

Top Models in Action! Mumbles has been working steadily since winning and finishing her “My Life as a Cover Girl” spots. Speaking of which, anyone else glad we aren’t subjected to Teyona’s spots?

Think any Top Model Wannabes will end up on the CW’s new show The Beautiful Life?

The judges deliberate. Everyone loves Erin. Sundai’s photo impresses Nigel. They like Jennifer’s photo. Lulu is still just average. ELIMINATION! The first girl called is: Kara. Huh. I’d think Nicole. She’s second, followed by: Erin, Sundai, Jennifer, Bianca, Laura, Ashley and Rae. Lulu and Brittany are in the bottom two. Lulu: Striking in person but not in photos. Brittany: Good last week, not so much this week. Was it a fluke? But she stays. Thank goodness. I still like her. Tyra tells her to remember her shoulders. She tells Lulu to study tensions, power and force. What’s Ashley going to do without her sidekick?

Lulu’s exit speech was short, boring and forgettable.
