Double elimination on America's Next Top Model

John-John Williams IV reports on this week's ANTM:

Poor Courtney! She came to America's Next Top Model with a broken foot. After last night's episode she left with shattered dreams. That's right. The lively cheerleader from Plantation, Fla., was sent packing after essentially giving up during a nude photo shoot.

The episode started with a surprise visit to Wilhelmina Models. The contestants each to complete an interview with the president of Wilhelmina Models, Sean Patterson. What they didn't know was that there would be an immediate elimination based on the interview. (I'll get to that in a little bit.)

During the interview, we learned that Jennifer has a lazy eye. (Ouch!)

Rachel was kicked out of the competition because Sean Patterson said she "didn't have what it takes to be a Wilhelmina Model."

Rachel was in disbelief. She started to cry.

"I expecting for someone to pop out and say 'Just kidding'," Rachel said in her confessional. "And they never came. I have to go home."

 

The next day the girls met up with Tyra for an extremely corny exercise in "smiling with your eyes." Tyra took on this superhero persona "Super Smize." It was way over-the-top. The hopeful contestants played along with the it, which made it that much more annoying.

Anywho, the girls split into two teams and challenged each other's ability to smile with their eyes. The winning team got a sit down dinner with Sean Patterson. The losers had to clean dishes.

The winning team of Courtney, Lulu, Bianca, Brittany, Laura and Kara also got to wear lovely dresses hand-picked by Sean Patterson.

After dinner, the contestants went home, where drama unfolded between Bianca and Jennifer who argued about dishes in the dishwasher. (Seriously?)

The next day the girls went to horseracing track, where they found that they had to pose topless with a jockey and a horse.

Jay Manuel said that: Jennifer struggled; Brittany gave him Italian Vogue; Erin did a good job; Courtney looked like Barbarella in a wrestling ring; Bianca looked like a "she-man"; and Bianca did great.  

After the photo shoot, Courtney complained about her experience on the shoot. Brittany jumped in and disagreed with her, which ticked off Courtney.

During the judging panel, the girls were surprised to see that Lauren Conrad of The Hills was the week's guest judge.

Erin, who had a stunning photo, according to the judges, won the competition.

It came to no surprise that Bianca and Courtney were in the bottom two. Bianca had an attitude because she didn't like the blonde wig she was forced to wear. Courtney had an attitude because she was told she needed to wear her protective boot. Tyra said that Courtney sabotaged herself and sent her home.

Being forced to watch this with my wife. That being said, I had to say that Bianca totally looked like a transvestite with that wig on!

You forgot to mention why Rachel got kicked out after her interview with the Wilhelmina guy - because they asked her to sing something and she just stood there and you could hear crickets chirping because she couldn't think of anything to sing. Don't tell people that you like to perform and then just stand there like a bump on a log!

may the best person wins which is Erin
