ANTM: Go Sees

After a slew of go-sees and a shoot with Tyra Banks, four models remain on America’s Next Top Model. During the go-sees they are judged by their portfolio, runway walk, appearance and personality. Samantha visits the Marlies-Dekkers studio first, and the designer quickly pegs her as too commercial, saying she wouldn’t use her in a show. In fact, Marlies-Dekkers is the most critical of the bunch, telling Elina that her tattoos were troubling and asking Marjorie to relax and stand-up straight. Marjorie was the most painful to watch. In the four hours they had to visit five designers and get back to the modeling agency, Marjorie was only able to find two, and with the two she finds she’s a ball of nerves. When she visits Hans Ubbink the most he says to her is, “thank you, goodbye.” I didn’t think it was possible for the girl to be any more deflated then she already is, but she managed to shrink like a raisin in the sun.

On the other hand, perpetually confident Elina was blind to the fact that the designers weren’t too keen on her either. She ran to Mark Visser’s studio, but he was not thrilled at her enthusiasm—she was sweating. He says, “Now she’s sweating up my clothes.” It was funny to here him try, as politely as possible, to tell her to take off his dress. The designers loved McKey. Monique Collingnon said she’d look stunning in a show and all the other designers nearly trembled in adulation as soon as they saw her face at the door. Analiegh was also well-liked, and Hans Ubbink said she was great.

The girls have to return to the modeling agency where they received their assignments by 5 pm or they’ll be disqualified from winning the challenge prize. Everyone arrives on time except McKey, who, if she had not been disqualified would have won the challenge. In the end Analeigh won $18,000 worth of jewelry and clothing from the five designers. McKey was disappointed but took it in stride. On the other hand Elina, who was not very popular among the designers, commented that Analiegh shouldn’t have won, it should have been herself or McKey.

Back at the house, the girl’s clue to their photo shoot insinuated that they should be prepare to bare all. Samantha was relieved to find out that they wouldn’t actually be naked, but that Tyra would be taking pictures of them without make-up. During the shoot, Tyra said she didn’t enjoy shooting Marjorie because she was so twitchy; Elina kept losing her pose because she was trying so hard; Analeigh, though pretty, definitely needs make-up in order to photograph well; McKey bends herself backwards, using her signature pose to great effect; and Samantha does a good job as well.

Panel high-jinks include Ms. Jay making Elina take off her shirt, which paled in comparison to last week when he took off his pants and threw them at Samantha. In the end though, Marjorie and Elina are in the bottom two with Elina’s controlled over-confidence trumping Marjorie’s twitchyness.
