ANTM: Flawsome

Last time on "ANTM": The models went on go-sees to try and book fashion shows. Jourdan and Marvin didn't book any and Jourdan didn't understand because they kept saying it was because her walk was "too good." Tyra eventually clued her in that it was a polite way of saying she was too bland. Renee won the challenge before they posed in a field with mirrors. Chris H rose to the top while Marvin and Phil fell to the bottom. Phil was eliminated but had a chance to comeback right then! Alexandra was revealed to be the comeback kid...for the girls. As Phil, Mike and Jeremy awaited their fate, the episode ended. Who will come back? Who will be eliminated? Find out! 

Top Model! 


We come back to the judging room where we learn Mike is not coming back into the competition. It is down to Jeremy and Phil. And the boy coming back? Jeremy! Cory says he’s surprised but understands why Jeremy won. Phil says he’ll be okay and files out with the other eliminated contestants. Tyra dismisses the contestants, telling them there is no more comeback at this point. They get eliminated, that’s it.

Alexandra and Jeremy celebrate their return on the model mobile. Jourdan is concerned. But Chris H. is celebrating his best photo. Renee does not hold up her end of the bargain and continues speaking anyway. Nina is surprised when Chris picks Alexandra to stay in the Tyra Suite with him. Meanwhile, Alexandra confides that she has a medical condition where her heart rate gets so fast, she loses oxygen. That’s not an anvil or anything, right?

Jeremy is back but what about J2? Nope, that’s definitely cooled. Jeremy sees the other side of Jourdan, who is annoyed by him. She walks off as we go to…CREDITS!

Wanna be on top? 

At the house, Jourdan is still complaining about Jeremy. She says he reminds her of her abusive ex. She says he has to back off.

They meet Kelly to work on a commercial for Quaff. They have to perform in front of a green screen. She sends them off to wardrobe. Alexandra is first up and is told to be a nymph. She has to take direction from some famous director…but it’s really a comedian. Alexandra does commit to the directions. Kelly thinks Chris H. looks awkward. Jourdan says she is fearless and is called profesional. Cory gets to make out with a unicorn while saying the director is an artist. Don snuggles with his water bottle and we breeze by the others. 

Renee comes in and admits to having a fear of plush things. Kelly tries to get her to warm up to the camel by giving it Renee’s mom’s name. It doesn’t work. Things don’t look good for Renee as we go to…

COMMERCIALS!

Renee is still being afraid of the camel as she goes through the commercial. Reggie, our comedian, says she worked through her fear and was impressed by that. If she wins, maybe she can get some help for that phobia.

After the challenge, Kelly reveals it’s really Reggie Watts and says they were tested on how they committed to this challenge. He was impressed by Alexandra and Jourdan. And the winner is Jourdan. No one seems thrilled about that.

At the house, everyone checks their score. Someone (Nina?) is thrilled she got an eight. Jourdan goes through her prizes while Alexandra says she’s pissed she didn’t win. Renee, meanwhile, is upset with her score. Afterwards, Chris H goes through and cleans the kitchen. He notes a lot of the dirty dishes belong to the girls. So he writes them a note and Renee says she doesn’t want to wash it and will just leave there. Chris H. is like “Is someone talking?” Renee curses him out and calls him names. I agree with Nina, about how the note isn’t attacking him. And cleaning your dirty dishes is being respectful, so stop talking about respect, Renee. Renee quotes Jourdan—something about needing love to understand respect which doesn’t really apply here. JUST CLEAN THE DAMN DIRTY DISHES! Jeremy (I think) takes a pot shot at Jourdan’s marriage and she goes nuts on the guys. As a fight breaks out, we go to…

COMMERCIALS!

We come back as Jeremy says he was defending Chris H while Jourdan is standing on furniture. Calmer heads prevail and Cory tells Jourdan to apologize to Chris H. So she does so and Jeremy apologizes as well. He tells her to realize that just as he hurt her, she hurt Chris H. So it seems to be calm, though Renee doesn’t like Chris H.

The contestants go to a high school where Johnny and Tyra meet up with them. Tyra asks them about Flawsome, which Jeremy and Renee know: It’s You+Your flaws+Awesome=Flawsome. It’s using your flaws and making them work. And male supermodel Shaun Ross will pose with them, working his albinism. And Tyra will do a posing teach on set. Then she says “Zendaya, are you here.” Shake It Up’s Zendaya shows up on set. Tyra has been on the show and invited her to be on the shoot. Zendaya sends them to hair and makeup after the teach, which we kinda zoom by.

Tyra does Zendaya’s makeup, putting freckles on her face. Tyra asks her if she was teased in school and Zendaya talks about being really skinny. Anyway, Sarah Silver is back and Cory is up first. She wants him to tone it down a bit but seems to get a good shot. Renee gets the large forehead (or “five head”) and impresses Sarah. Don has skinny legs, which was his flaw in high school. Don says he can work his legs. Chris H makes sure to work his glasses and his “Leyla” (from last cycle) gap. But Sarah thinks he was just awkward. Johnny tries to give him a pep (?) talk. Cory is worried for him and Shaun tries to loosen him up. Nina is worried for him while Renee prays this sends Chris H. home as we go to…

COMMERCIALS!

We come back to Chris H still struggling in his photoshoot. Sarah tells him to use his nerves. Jeremy gives himself a pep talk and Zendaya tells him to “just do it.” Johnny was disappointed in Jeremy. Marvin knows he has to stand out next to a supermodel and an actress. Backstage, Jeremy says he’s tired and Jourdan says she feels great in a tone that says “STAY AWAY FROM ME.” She says she gets distracted by Jeremy being on set and the photographer tells her not to be stiff. Shaun tries to get her not to put herself down until she sees the final result.

Alexandra says she isn’t feeling well because of her nerves. She gets some tips from Tyra and heads to set. Sarah tells her to be casual rather than model. Cory mocks her saying “I want it so bad.” Nina also has her “big eye” flaw. Sarah tells her not to look possessed. And she changes up her look, which they love.

That’s a wrap!

On the way back to the house, Jourdan is nervous about the results. They get skull mail. Someone’s not going to Bali! Alexandra still feels sick while Chris H. is worried about his chances.

COMMERCIALS!

Tyra welcomes the models to panel. There are judges—Kelly, Rob and Bryanboy. There are prizes. Cory is up first. Most comments at first about Shaun but Tyra says she likes it. Kelly doesn’t, saying he doesn’t make her want to buy anything. Scores: 7, 10, 8. Jourdan is next. She looks too modely. Scores: 8, 7, 7. Marvin follows. Kelly says it looks like a campaign while Rob says he’s doing something new. Tyra thinks he is being carried by his good looks. Scores: 8, 7, 8. Next is Chris H. Rob thinks he could’ve shown off the gap more but Kelly likes him. Tyra tells him he could’ve done more. Scores: 9, 7, 7. Don follows him. Rob says he sells the jeans and Kelly agrees though she’s not fond of the pictures. Scores: 7, 10, 9.

Jeremy is next. Rob says it’s the same look while Tyra thinks he killed it. Kelly agrees. Scores: 8, 9, 6. Nina follows. Kelly loves her and Rob praises her. Tyra says it blows her away and that Nina works her flaws, making people want her eyes. Bryanboy says she is queen of social media. Scores: 9, 10, 10. Alexandra is next. Rob doesn’t think she’s working it and Kelly agrees. Tyra says that she looks like Zendaya’s mother. Alexandra is shaking. She admits she feels dizzy and Tyra tries to get her to feel better. Scores: 7, 7, 7. Renee is last. Kelly says the photo looks better and Tyra says she used the teach. But social media wasn’t impressed. Scores: 10, 9, 9. As Tyra dismisses them, Alexandra walks off set and gets a cold towel. She still feels dizzy.

COMMERCIALS!

Backstage, she says she feels bad because she knows this has nothing to do with panel. She curls up on a couch praying she doesn’t end up in the hospital. Tyra says she is still in the running even if she’s not in the room. ELIMINATION! Best photo goes to…Nina. She is joined by: Don, Renee, Jourdan, Cory, Jeremy, and Marvin. The bottom two is Chris H and Alexandra. Alexandra: Beautiful girl but can she do high fashion? Sometimes she can, sometimes she can’t. Chris H: Strong features and a strong model. But he isn’t consistent. So who is going to Bali? He is! He says he’s not happy with himself but he’s happy to have another chance. Tyra says he deserves it. She tells them they are going to Bali and that she will see them soon.

The producer, Ken Mok, goes backstage. He reveals she’s been eliminated. She says she’s disappointed but she’s proud. She says she wants to focus on feeling better and will go on to do awesome things.

*Contestant was brought back

Is it just me or are there more unlikeable contestants than likeable ones this cycle? Chris H, Jeremy, Jourdan and Renee. Though at first, Chris H. was in the right about the dirty dishes. But then the argument spiraled out of the control, not helped by Jourdan and Renee who showed they were more immature than they believe.

Anyway, I feel bad for Alexandra. She was brought back only to be eliminated. But she needs to figure out what’s wrong with her health and then she can embark on her career. Hopefully she finds good management who will help her use her full potential.

Next time: Bali! Underwater runway! Guys vs. Renee!
