Cycle 5, Episode 8: "The Girl Whose Boyfriend Is Cheating on Her"
Kyle was eliminated last week and leaves a super nice letter wishing everyone left in the house good luck.
Kim can’t figure out how to regulate her emotions without Kyle.
She loves that blue shirt!
The models are taken to a set where ANTM Cycle 3 winner Eva is doing a photoshoot.
Bre is especially geeked.
Both Kim and Nik want to kiss Eva.
Lisa feels a lot of unease in the house, specifically directed at her, so she tries to cut through the tension by doing some character work.
I respect her improvisational skills, but no one in the house is amused.
The models meet a gay guy with the unfortunate name BJ.
He gives them a challenge of directing their own team to develop a personal brand and style for an undisclosed meeting. They have to direct a hair and makeup person, a wardrobe stylist to dress them and an unfortunate personal assistant who has to make a poster for them with super basic art supplies.
The models learn they have to pitch themselves to Benny Medina for a guest spot on “Veronica Mars”.
Benny’s feedback:
Nik is really beautiful, but Benny didn’t want to listen to what she had to say.
Nicole says she’s fun and crazy but Benny finds it odd she doesn’t mention her talent.
Bre gets flustered. Afterwards, Benny calls her a “sexy sister”. Gross.
Jayla drones on and on.
Kim brings up her acting experience. I think she did theatre in high school.
Lisa gets choked up talking about how great she would be if given the opportunity. Benny is not affected. He thinks Lisa almost crying is weird.
Kim wins the prize. She acts in a scene with Kristen Bell and tells her she HASN’T acted much.
What’s the truth, Kim?? This is the full scene. I think she oversold her acting skills to Benny, but she got the part.
Lisa is not happy about not winning and tells Kim passive aggressively that she deserves to win something.
The photoshoot this week is with the MTV Wildboyz: Steve-O, Chris Pontius and Wee Man.
Mr. Jay is wearing a shirt that says “Erotic City”.
Bre turns into the Top Model auntie around the Wildboyz.
Unprovoked, Lisa puts on a diaper.
Despite everyone telling her not to, she then pees in it.
Bre gives the following statement following the incident:
“No woman of class, especially a supermodel in the making, is gonna do something as disgusting as pee on herself at her job.”
Continued.
“Lisa, she’s a sick individual. And if she wins this competition, I hope she uses the $100,000 and checks herself into a psych ward ASAP.”
Follow up questions can be directed to Bre’s press officer.
During panel, the models have to pose with toothpaste and sunglasses and also give a one-minute speech endorsing the fictitious “ANTM Chocolate”.
People get weird with the toothpaste.
Most of the photos aren’t great because there’s so much going on.
I think Kim’s looks the best if you zoom in on her.
Nicole’s photo concept is the reason for this week’s episode title. She caught Kim “The Lesbian” in bed with her man.
Tyra tells Jayla she looks like a blow up doll.
Nik gets told her film from the shoot is the best. I think her body and teeth look great, but her scrunched up face with the super smokey eye photographs weird.
Bre’s skin looks great. But what model would put this in her portfolio?
Lisa’s photo is bad. Apparently, no one told Tyra Lisa peed in a diaper because the judges love her personality at panel.
This is what a beautiful screaming face looks like.
The bottom two are Nicole and Jayla. Tyra tells them they both need to pack their bags…because they’re all going to London!!
So no one gets eliminated!
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you back here for Cycle 5, Episode 9. We’re going to London and Kim gets confronted for badmouthing everyone! If you’re not already, be sure to subscribe to get added to my newsletter.
Fierce and love,
