The Last Supper

Last week on ANTM: It was go-sees! And with the exception of Chelsey, the girls went to only one go-see (Versace). Chelsey won the challenge as she went to two go-sees. Later, Nigel shot the girls as statues who come to life because of their sculptor’s love. Ann and Kayla excelled again while Jane had a breakdown. In judging, she fell to the bottom with Chris but the latter was sent home for not being as strong as the other two. Four girls remain, so the winner will be crowned next week! Who won’t be making it? Find out tonight!

Wanna be on top?

MILAN! The top four celebrate being the top four in the Milan Model Mobile. Jane talks about needing to show her personality as we see her crying at panel. Ann says she’s trying to study and Chelsey insults her. We get reminded that Chelsey’s done this before. Kayla enjoys looking at her picture, doing a celebratory dance. Jane’s funny: “You just like to gyrate your hips.” She asks Chelsey to come and see the picture, but Ann and Jane come instead. Jane wants Kayla to shut up and Ann’s shy, y’all. Just in case, you know, you missed the entire season.

TYRA MAIL! “Modeling 100% you and 50% who you know.” The girls think they may be running into some of their predecessors. They run into Ms. J. Who talks about personality and first impressions. He/She/It introduces them to Barbara Terrinoni, who the caption says is an acting coach. Ann remembers how she bombed the commercial. Barbara tells Jane to project her voice. She tells Ann to smile before moving on to having the girls to be emotions. Is Ms. J not wearing a shirt? Anyway, the girls are meeting a big important guest. They are told not to clam up and to remember they have personalities.

The Milan Model Mobile takes them to meet that person as the music gets all dramatic. The girls ride an elevator until they get to Vogue Italia.

Commercials!

When we come back, Andre Leon Talley introduces Franca Sozzani. She’s the editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia. They have to present themselves to Franca. And it’s a challenge! Kayla is up first. She explains her book but realizes she didn’t really explain herself. Chelsey is next and speaks a little Italian. Franca doesn’t seem impressed by Idaho. Ann is next and projects her voice. She doesn’t speak as much as the other two. Jane is the last one. She trails off a bit and is nervous. Franca thinks Kayla needs more character and that Chelsey did. She says Ann is stunning in pictures, not sure about person. And she calls Jane pretty but not sure about character. The challenge winner will get to go with Andre Leon Talley to see Leonardo di Vinci’s “The Last Supper” with a friend. She and that friend will get to stay at a top Milan hotel. And Chelsey wins. She brings Kayla with her. So, Jane and Ann ride the bus back home.

Andre takes the two to see the painting. Chelsey reveals she is Catholic and starts to cry. One thing I’ve always wondered—do they let the girls go to their respective places of worship. Back at the house, Ann and Jane throw their own party—complete with “The Last Supper” drawn by Ann. Chelsey and Ann realize their hotel is in a mall as they see Gucci across the street. Room service brings them champagne and food. They toast themselves and hope to be the final two. I think they may be.

TYRA MAIL! “Movement creates energy. Tomorrow, you’ll be models on the move.” Jane and Ann hop on the Milan Model Mobile to pick up Chelsey and Kayla, who rub their win in the other girls’ faces. Mr. Jay greets them in Verona. He says this shoot will involve acting. And they will be holding to the precedent of the past few cycles—at tonight’s panel, two girls will be eliminated.

Commercials.

Fair Verona, where we lay our scene. Tyra comes running out. She says she’ll be directing them in a motion editorial. Kayla has a “What the hell?” look on her face. And they’ll be in couture! Valentina Serra, the stylist for Vogue Italia, will be their stylist today. Kayla says she loved playing dress up, but the ones she liked didn’t fit her. Tyra tells them to think Alice in Wonderland, a thirteen years-old discovering the place for the first time. Chelsey is first. Tyra stops her because her wonder was always in her mouth, but Chelsey corrects.

Ann is next and Tyra loves her. She is really good. Jane tells Tyra some of her ideas and she thinks she gave Tyra some personality. Kayla sends her to a door to get her silhouette. I love how they did her hair. Tyra loves her. Ann goes again and Tyra loves it. I also love Mr. Jay and Tyra doing it together. Chelsey is next, getting to flip her hair, as does Jane. They run to change into the men’s clothes. Juliet dressing up as Romeo. She thinks Jane was stiff and tells Ann to work the weirdness. They continue with each girl whispering their name over and over. Then the last scene is them rolling in bushes.

That’s a wrap!

Oh Lord, I don’t pity the panel. I can’t choose from that who will be sent back Stateside tonight.

Coming up: Tyra’s directorial debut.

Tyra doesn’t like her initial outfit so she changes. Franca gives it her approval. So, there are judges—Nigel and Andre. And the guest judge is Franca. There are prizes. Chelsey’s motion editorial is first. She gets applause for being the challenge winner. For now, they just show the best of her shoots. Nigel is surprised. So is Franca. Tyra says she was impressed. She tells Chelsey not to get nervous though because there was an important yet unusable shot. Jane is next. I could totally see Jane on a Calvin Klein commercial. Nigel says the camera loves her but it doesn’t seem believable. The others agree but Tyra says she thought her face stood out on set. Ann is the third up. Andre loves her outfit. Franca calls her photogenic and Nigel tells her about angles. She tells Ann to work on her walk. Kayla is last. Nigel calls her the most believable. Franca says she’s good for some photographers, which Tyra says is a compliment. Okay? Anyway, time to deliberate and who will end up in a Roberto Cavali fashion show.

Commercials.

The judges debate the top four. About the surprises, about their faces, their talent, their potential. ELIMINATION! The first name is Ann. Oh my goodness! Ann made it to the final! I’m so happy! Chelsey, Kayla and Jane are asked to step forward. Chelsey: Love and knowledge of fashion, passionate. Pictures are just really good, not mind-blowing. Kayla: Different, interesting. A top photographer would create beauty but hasn’t mastered her body or angles. Jane: Pretty pictures, beautiful bone structure, no personality. But yesterday, she pushed through all the hair on her face and sold it. So, who is walking off against Ann? Chelsey. Sorry, Kayla and Jane. Tyra hugs Kayla and tells her that she goes into acting as well. Kayla says she’s happy with how far she came. And she’s proud of who she is. Tyra tells Jane she loved them, tells her to sign with an agency and she will dazzle. Jane says she’s disappointed but impressed she came this far. She thinks she could have a career but will still graduate from Princeton.

Next week: The finale! Someone will get crowned America’s Next Top Model! Will it be awkward Ann or professional Chelsey? Find out!

Go, Ann! Work on that walk and take this all! Though Chelsey is serious competition. She has a better walk, has personality and the knowledge. But it’s interesting to think back to the major Chelsey-Ann rivalry edit this cycle got and realize how it was predicting this moment. Well, can’t wait for next week! Who do you think will win?
