Top Model: The Girl Who Changes Her Attitude

Apparently, Renee is supposed to have some sort of breakdown in this episode. I’m kind of looking forward to that. It’s like the devil getting his due.
Jael is still depressed over the death of her friend, so Felicia teaches her how to dance to take her mind off things. I feel really bad for Jael. My lifelong best friend died when we were 26 years old. (We were literally friends since birth because we were cousins born six weeks apart.) I have to say that if something like that had happened when I was away, I’d have to go home. But maybe she and her friend weren’t that close.
Renee is complaining that the other girls don’t understand her. Yes, they do, Renee. They understand you are a…well, a word I can’t and won’t say. She actually admitted that she keeps getting into it with the other girls. Well, the first step in getting help is admitting you have a problem, right? She says she’s going to make a change and try to get along with everybody. She starts by drawing a picture of Jael in a straitjacket. Wha?? Jael loves it. I don’t get it. Jael’s a little weird. I guess it’s right up her alley. At least Renee knows how to relate to people on their level.
The girls learn how to pose from a “posing expert” named Benny Ninja. He’s really into voguing. I thought that went out in the ‘80s, but whatever. The girls did really well with their poses. He really seems to like Whitney the best. By the way, they revealed in this episode that Whitney left Dartmouth to be on Top Model. Oh, no you didn’t! Girl…for you to be so smart, that was stupid.
Renee starts playing nice with Brittany now. I can’t believe Brittany is falling for it. Even Diana, Renee’s ally from last week, is turning against her and sees that she’s manipulative. I wouldn’t trust Renee any farther than I could throw her skinny self.
The girls get to wear these super flattering spandex outfits to pose throughout a maze of lasers. It’s pretty hard because they have to do it in two minutes and if they hit one of the lasers, they get buzzed and have to start all over. Renee was the only one who didn’t make it. Awww…boohoo. Whitney won the challenge and got a $40,000 bracelet. Bling bling! Now that’s a prize!
Now Renee feels ganged up on and calls her husband to come and get her. (Do it! Do it!) She’s crying, but nobody else in the house (or America) really cares.
For the photo shoot this week, the girls have to pose as murder victims - everything from a gunshot to electrocution to being pushed down stairs. It’s like a big fat promo for CSI. And CSI: Miami. And CSI: New York. And CSI: Wichita. (Hey, it could happen.) Jael got lucky after burning her face with a curling iron this morning. It fits in with the dead body persona. All the girls did great on the shoot, it seemed. This is going to be a HARD decision for the judges. I could make it really easy on them. Send Renee home!
Before the judges, as expected, everybody got good remarks except Dionne, who’s critique was so-so, and Felicia, who got her first bad critique. I would have never expected it, but Felicia is going home. She would have been one of the last people going into this episode that I would have expected to get booted. Guess that goes to show you have to “bring it” every week. Pardon the cliche.
I don’t buy this little “nice-nice” attempt by Renee at all. She still seems manipulative and two-faced. And I’m usually one who looks for the good in people. Maybe I should lighten up on her. We’ll see if Renee’s little act keeps up. Apparently, next week, she’s supposed to get into it with Whitney about her being a plus-sized model and Whitney quickly puts her in her place. That outta be fun. Till then, keep voguing!
