Marjorie eliminated from 'America's Next Top Model'
Poor Marjorie and her desperate attempt to be the "perfect contestant."
Week after week, her shy awkwardness was picked apart by the judges. There were a lot of tears and a lot of excuses. Her luck ran out this week when Tyra Banks and company gave her the boot. Samantha, the bubbly blond with the short, sassy cut, beat her out with her overall presence.
I knew Marjorie was in trouble from the beginning. Top Model does a horrible job in the editing room. Season after season, the show will focus on one or two girls during the episode so that the audience builds a connection and then BAM!!! One of them is eliminated. The most recent episode was no exception. The cameras zoomed in on Marjorie lamenting being in the bottom two in the previous episode. (Can you say kiss of death?)
It appeared that Marjorie might advance. She had a pretty strong showing during the middle of the episode. She excelled in a challenge that required the girls to shoot a silent commercial with a male model. Surprisingly, her shy awkwardness worked to her advantage. She won a $10,000 shopping spree for her victory. (She decided to split the money evenly with her BFF Analeigh. How sweet.)
Later in the episode, Marjorie kind of crumbled during the photo shoot. She simply came out flat. During the judging, she appeared quiet and reserved. The judges pounced all over that. Tyra told her that she could strike the proper balance between her awkwardness and the mute routine that she was pulling in front of the judges.
Now that Marjorie is out of the way, my money is on McKey to take the title. She's got the goods necessary to win. She's a great model, and she's agreeable. She's been strong from the beginning; she deserves the title.

For the first time in the 11 seasons of the show, I am happy with the final three and will be happy with any of the girls getting the title. It has been quite a good season. No major cattiness , no major dramas... It has been a modeling competition like no other season. I just loved it!
