America's Next Top Model: Haters Never Prosper
But things look up when Sean announces that they are there to experience a day in the life of a working model -- they are there for the go-sees! Not only will the gals be seeing modeling agencies, but they'll also be visiting an ad agency so they can read for their casting directors.They must do all five go-sees but must be back promptly by 4 p.m. Two bits of bad news -- they get cars but must navigate by maps and they have to travel in teams of two: Jennifer and Erin, Brittany and Kara, Sundai and Rae, and Nicole and Laura.
Go-see gaffs
Kara shows up at Neil Lane jewelers and doesn't have pierced ears. She's out! Sundai and Rae, also out. But he did think that Brittany was glamorous and would use her for a campaign. Erin was too nervous at Rozae Nichols but if she worked on her confidence she'd get hired. Jennifer was wearing too much makeup and wouldn't get the job. WongDoody is the ad agency and the girls read for on-air promotion for a hot new TV show. In some crazy mixed up backwards world the casting folks adore Nicole and don't like Laura at all. It's awkward. Several clients even thought that Kara looked greasy and shaggy! Oh the horror!
After a long day everyone gets back on time except for Sundai and Rae, who were 15 minutes late! Sean won't even deal with them and he banishes them to the lobby.
The winner gets to appear in a nationally televised commercial and a piece from each of the designers that they saw. Finally! Can they all get some clothing? But alas, there can only be one winner and it's Nicole. Maybe she can loan Sundai and Laura some new garb...but somehow, we doubt she will.
We were bummed that they didn't share which girls would have been hired at which agencies. We have our own opinion but we'd like solid facts to go by here!
There's more after the jump - read on!
Photo…shoot me now
The photo shoot this week was inspired by the beauty and grace of martial arts. Half of the shoot was done on the ground and in the second half the models were be suspended in the air by a harness. The hair and makeup was absolutely exceptional on every girl (especially after the fright wigs of last week!) and the models got to use their weapon of choice. Some chose wisely. Nicole decided to go simple, which allowed her to use her body more, but others let the harness and the weaponry get them down. Sundai did terrible. Kara did not channel her anger properly and her discomfort ended up translating to her photos. Brittany was really uncoordinated on the wire but made it work anyway.
Nicole can do no wrong!
Not only did Nicole kick butt in the go-see challenge but she took best photo for the week as well. Laura got runner-up for best photo and she never disappoints. Sundai and Kara end up at the bottom two, and in the end it's Kara who is sent home. She is devastated and disappointed in herself, but it just goes to show that when you concentrate too much on what others are doing, you aren't focusing on yourself enough. She is such a lovely girl but she let her anger get the best of her. We’ll miss her great quotes.
The unusual high point of the eppy
We absolutely loved the Cover Girl "Top Models in Action" commercial featuring a favorite freckle-face from last cycle -- Fo! We loved catching up with her and her fabulous new life! She's signed with New Model Management and now lives in LA, where she's booked major campaigns for Abercrombie, Nike, Target and more! And her next move is to conquer the European market. Go Fo! We're so happy for her. Definitely no more tears.
Overheard model-speak
"Even though people see me as a small town girl, I've been out of the small town a whole bunch." Laura
"[Nicole] has the social graces of a fetus." Kara
"Nicole is going to be in a commercial. I'm gonna channel this anger into the next photo shoot and kick her ass. And at panel when they're like, 'This picture's awesome. What was your inspiration?' And I'll be like, Nicole...you know...I hate her." Kara
"The harness is terrible. My skin is oozing out the sides and I have diaper rash, the harness way." Nicole
