Cycle 6, Episodes 6: "The Girl with Two Bad Takes"
Gina was mercifully sent home last week.
Brooke and Molly are both nervous after their critiques from panel.
Nnenna kissed a male model. Her boyfriend found out but now she’s mad at him for being clingy. Makes sense.
Jade talks to the camera like she’s in the Blair Witch Project.
Tyra meets with the final nine on this mac and cheese rug.
Oh no! Then she passes out!
Some of the models try to help her. One of them says to check Tyra’s pulse.
But she was just acting, y’all. She’s ok. Because their lesson today is about ACTING. And Tyra can do it all: model, singer, talk show host, actress.
Tyra then has to confront Furonda who was overwhelmed by the excitement of Tyra passing out.
After Tyra’s intro to acting, the models go to The Groundlings Theater in LA to meet with Jeremy Rowley.
Famous people who’ve gotten their start at The Groundlings include Will Ferrell, Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Coolidge. Even Tyra’s taken classes there.
Jeremy is an actor, writer and comedian. He coincidentally was in Coyote Ugly, which starred Miss Tyra Banks.
And iCarly.
I’m a big fan of improv. I took lots of classes when I lived in Chicago and wish I lived in LA, so I could take classes at The Groundlings.
Jeremy leads them in some improv exercises while they all wear matching tank tops with their names on them.
The next day they go to the set of Wild 'n Out and meet with host Nick Cannon, who’s now a household name and father of 12.
He’s assisted by Leonard Robinson and Rob Hoffman, who’s randomly holding a chicken tender. Leonard was on Insecure. And Rob can just take his shirt off and stop with the chicken.
Nick leads them in a few games, one of which involves rhyming. Jade is not a natural.
Same reaction, Furonda.
Gina would have sucked at this challenge.
Although Jade tries to read her, Furonda is a natural at all of this. She wins and gets a guest role on Veronica Mars.
A lot of the models are getting tired of Nnenna being on the phone all the time fighting with her boyfriend. Look at all these sticky notes!
The models meet with Marvelyn Brown, an HIV activist and author.
Furonda and Nnenna get to be in an HIV PSA as part of the challenge win. It’s a great cause, but the final product looks like someone made it for their college class.
The second part of Furonda’s prize is a walk-on role in Veronica Mars.
She does pretty well and seems like a natural at acting.
Their shoot this week is a commercial for CoverGirl.
Jade’s commercial is … memorable.
A lot of the models’ commercials aren’t great. They only got two takes. Jade called out the show for using her worst take, which I respect. But the judges put her in her place by saying both takes sucked.
Jade ends up in the bottom with Mollie Sue, who sadly is eliminated.
Mollie Sue has gone on to take the fashion world by storm. I will never stop stanning her.
She appears to still be modeling, running her own agency and being a wife and mom.
Yesssss!
Thanks for reading and I hope to see you back here for Cycle 6, Episode 7!
