We are back in the house after Liberty has won the last challenge with her new red hair. Also, Brendi K. and Liz got into a huge blow up backstage. Liz apologizes and they agree to keep their distance.
Tonight it’s an acting screen test challenge. The director is Anthony Hemingway from Glee and American Horror Story. The winner gets a speaking role in one of his upcoming projects. Liz sucks. Riyhan isn’t good either. Khrystyana was good. Sandra was good. Coura was really bad. Finally something she is bad at. Jeana wasn’t great nor was Christina, Rio, Liberty. Shanice ab libs and they like it. Khrystyana won. Liz cries because the director said she was way to much. Even her reaction to being told she is way too much is way too much.
Riyhan is worried about the TV shoot challenge, because she thinks she needs to lose weight before being on TV. Liz woke up late and is at the back of the line for the showers. She thinks the girls are bullying her because they won’t let her break in line. Liz is a trip. And she needs to trip right out the door.
The photo shoot is based on horror photography in uncomfortable looks. They mention Lady Gaga in American Horror Story, but she never had to model wearing torture devices. This is a great idea. Especially for Liz.
Sandra was awful and in danger of leaving. Khrystyana was great again. This is going so fast that we literally get ten seconds of each girl. Riyhan’s insecurities show. Christina is fantastic. Rio got screwed on her headpiece. I am rooting for her. Brendi and Jeana were both good. The photographer LOVED Liz. Well, fuck. I guess she stays another week. Coura is bombing at this too. Did she lose her confidence at the screen test she botched? She looks beautiful but she is totally expressionless and is supposed to be given the came a terrified face. What is going on with the front runner? She cries after the shoot.
There is a lot of footage from inside the house this season. I like it. but if they are going to give it to us then we only need one challenge per episode. We are not getting to see enough of the modeling to know what is going on. Plus the judge is giving us instant feedback before we can make up our own minds.
That night at one a.m. Liz and others are trying to sleep while several of the other girls are partying very loudly downstairs. Liz says she really needs to sleep because if she doesn’t, she gets “emotionally disregulated.” Poor girl apparently hasn’t slept since she got her then. Liz leaves and goes to a hotel. The next morning, Tyra comes to see her in the hotel. Liz says it’s too much for her to live in that house and she went home. I think that was a wise decision for her.
At evaluation, Tyra tells the girls that even though Liz left, someone is still going home. Shanice had a great photo and was in a great mood. Sandra got panned for her photo. Khrystyana got high praise from Drew who said he would publish her photo in Paper in a second. Rhiyhan cries to the judges. Sob story. Thankfully they like Rio and Liberty and Jeana. They loved Erin. I like Christina’s the best! It was good. Brendi K got good feedback too. Kyra was great. Coura’s photo was gorgeous, but she didn’t give the look she was supposed to.
Khrystyana won. Jeana was second, AGAIN. Rhiyhan and Coura are in the bottom two. Rhiyhan goes home.
Did I miss something about why Liz is as bonkers as she is?
Tyra was probably very relieved that Liz wanted to leave. I don’t think Ms. Banks wants one of her ‘models’ to have a full blown breakdown on her show. I hope Liz gets the help she needs (Really. No shade thrown)
This is what? The 3rd week that Jeana came in second but should have been first?
Rio’s photo looked odd and interesting.
Also: anyone else have a hard time keeping all of these contestants straight? I think it’s easier to know who everyone is near the end of the season, when there are fewer of them!
Yes! And they all have weirdly spelled names and my keyboard freaks out when I type the letter that comes after T so it is a PITA to recap.
I feel like I need a cheat sheet of a headshot and a name – I always feel this way with Voice, this show, and Survivor (which I gave up)
I also fell asleep and woke myself up snoring (fuck you, allergies) at 8:17. Looked at Twitter as one does, and saw in my “did you miss these earlier” part of twitter, your tweet that we must watch ANTM and immediately flipped it on.
Saw the tail end of the acting challenge. So much butt hurt over the winner.
I’m glad Liz left, because I might have eye damage from all the eye rolls I would do with her around. Not letting you cut in line is not bullying you for fuck’s sake.
They could of at least shown Liz’s photo – it’s been bothering me that I never got to see it at judging.
Not enough enough scenes of actual modeling and judge critiques – that’s the best part! Hope it gets better.
