Aren't Models Supposed to be Pretty?

As predicted, my fave Ms. Jessica was sent home for being too pretty. She is clearly the prettiest of the bunch, and so of course she couldn't stick around. Instead, we have to sit through big chin Celia and alien Teyona.

On a happier note - it was makeover day!! It's rather early for makeovers, but I don't mind. To see how everyone changed their look, click here.

As always there were some hits and misses. London's blonde 'do looks ridiculous and even Tyra admitted Teyona's weave was "whack." Jessica looked great, but clearly it didn't matter. In this season, Tyra decided that the models would get their new look without knowing how it would look in the end. The hairdresser grabbed Natalie's hair and started to cut, until she freaked out and made him stop. The Jays gave Natalie a disapproving look when she refused to let the hairdresser (some famous guy whose name escapes me) do anything to her. It turns out they had no intention of cutting Natalie's hair, they just wanted her to trust them. They all laugh and that's the end! She still freaked out and refused to get a cut, even if that wasn't the plan. Cassandra from cycle 5 got sent home for behavior like that. The only other meltdown was Fo, who doesn't know how to be sexy without her hair. IF being selected for the show doesn't make you feel pretty than I don't know what can.

The challenge in this ep was for the girls to light themselves. It was also a group shot, so they had to outshine the others in the shot. I'm sure the task was hard, and watching the girls was rough. Nigel was the photographer! Which is always nice when we get more hotty Nigel time. His faves were Tayana, London and Celia. Jessica couldn't make it work, and Fo freaked out about her silly hair. A few were accused of fading into the background, but it didn't make sense because those girls WERE in the background, while the others clearly stood in the foreground for their picture.

At panel, predictably two of my favorites were stuck waiting at the end in the final two. Teyana was called first, and though she isn't really a favorite of mine, her picture did turn out nice. You'll notice she is in front... A good picture doesn't make her pretty, unfortunately.

In the end panel decided that Fo can get over her hair sadness, and Jessica just can't help but be pretty and so she was sent home.

Now that Jessica is gone and Fo is annoying about her hair, I no longer have a favorite. Maybe I could get on board with Alison, but her eyes creep me out. Perhaps as the weeks go on, someone will emerge as my new favorite.

I'll let you know.
