Top Model: The Girls Go to the Great Wall

Oh, what a beautiful moooorning! Oh, what a beautiful daaaay!!
Why am I so chipper this morning? Why did I sleep so well last night? Okay, so maybe it’s because my dog didn’t wake me up 14 times to go potty. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because justice has been served and all is right in Top Model world.
I have to admit, I was a bit shocked by the elimination. While I knew Bianca would be in the bottom two, I really thought Jenah would go home. All signs pointed to it. Those sneaky editors heard that we could predict the eliminee and decided to pull one over on us. This is about the most shocking elimination to me ever on Top Model - except when Dionne was eliminated over Natasha last cycle. Which was also on the top four episode...hmmmm…
Anyway, in honor of Bianca and her stellar attitude, I provide this retrospect using some of her quotes from this episode that embody the joy that is Bianca. I just wanted to spread some of her happiness and cheer…
“Heather would be in her own world - just zoned out, she was not even trying. So it really doesn’t make much of a difference when she’s not here.”
“Chantal is Miss Perky all the time. She’s so happy to be here. She’s so happy about life. I’m just like ‘Shut up! You know, shut up!’”
“Okay, is it over? This is not my kind of thing, but when in China, do like the Chinese.” (This was about the dancing of the “Four Beauties.")
“You need to go across the street. There’s so much stuff over there.” (To Jenah after she’d already been across the street and found nothing.) Then - “Jenah just runs out to get to these stores and it makes me feel a lot better… There are no friends in competition. There are only competitors.”
“I could care less. I’m not gonna wear no couture dress anywhere.” (After she lost the challenge to Jenah, who won a custom made Chinese couture dress and shared her prize with Chantal. Somebody should tell her that the correct saying is “I couldn’t care less.")
“I’m ready for it to be over. I came here to win. I’m gonna win and then I’m gonna model. Period. I’m tired of everything. Everything is just frustrating to me now.”
“Saliesha put her bun in front of my face and I could like really kill her.” (This was during the group photo.)
“Chantal is just like - she’s just bland. Like, her pictures are okay, but her personality is just so giggly.”
“Saleisha’s had a lot of experience, so for her to come here and not be amazing, that just sucks on her part.”
So, anyway, I’m not going to say I’m sad to see Bianca go, although her tears at the end were pretty pitiful. Since she’s only 18 years old, maybe with some more maturing and life experience, she’ll start to be as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.
I really have no idea who is going to be in the final two. It seems like Jenah would be the next to go, but she could have an amazing turnaround next week. And the preview showed Saleisha having a bit of a meltdown during the commercial shoot. We’ll see, I guess. Can’t wait to talk with y’all next week when we know who is “America’s Next Top Model”!

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
*confetti flies*
*pops open champagne*
yippy! whoo hoo!
i think that about sums up my opinion about this one edie!
I knew you’d be happy, too, jade! Who do you want to win it? Or do you care who wins it now that Bianca is out? I’m not really sure myself.
I think that Bianca should have gone home a loooong time ago, like episode 2. she had a poor attitude, and is way to immature. Its like Tyra doesnt even sit back and watch these tapings before they are aired, because she acts like she has no idea whats going on in the house, only how they perform at panel and on the photoshoots. I think she should moniter whats going on, because after all, you want Americas Next Top Model to be a role model right. Not some bit@#y wannabe. In my opinion, they should have kept Heather around, I think she would have done amazing. But I think that Salicia gets my vote. I do like all the three remaining, but Jenah needs something done to her teeth, Chantal is kind of ditzy, but Salicia has all the knowledge and experience!
Hi, brittany! I agree with you about Tyra knowing what’s going on in the house. Seems like if they are recording everything, she should be able to monitor that. And after she gave that long speech at the beginning of this cycle about America’s Next Top Model being a role model, she should care about how they act outside of their challenges and photo shoots.
I like Saleisha, too, and I heard a spoiler that she ends up being the winner. The sources were a little sketchy, so I won’t believe it until I see it. I’ve got this little nagging feeling it might just be Jenah, but who knows? I think Chantal might be the next out, though. I guess we’ll see.
hey britney
i thought i one who noticed her teeth were messed up! she could have gone to the dentist like the chick a few seasons back, remember?
yeah, they sent danielle and joanie to the dentist to get their teeth fixed, so i dont know why they couldnt have jenah lol!
