Just because I decided to take a couple of days off for Thanksgiving, doesn't mean you're going to get away with not reading my recaps. I hope you didn't think I abandoned you. It's just that writing these can be hard work (Oh! My index finger!), but I'm going to suck it up because one of the things I'm thankful for is my readers. Both of you.So the girls in the running took their flight to China Wednesday night as illustrated in a truly cheesy graphic showing their model-y poses superimposed on the side of an airplane.
Things only got loonier from there, especially for my two favorite contestants this season, er cycle — Heather and Lisa.
Heather (pictured) had a mini meltdown when she was left without a bed in their Chinese penthouse. When Saleisha refused to share her oversized bed, I had a quick flashback to last week when Saleisha and Lisa ran in the shower after Heather had called it, now this. Next week, I expect Saleisha to sneak ahead of Heather and commandeer the stove to make an egg white omelet, followed by Heather hitting her over the head, knocking that truly odd hairstyle off of her and saying, "strike three, bitch!"
Seriously though, there are two sides to this. The girls have to know that Heather tends to overreact to little things like this. They also have to know she's the favorite in the competition, so I'm not surprised to see them slightly go out of their way to mess with her (though Chantal DID stand up for her, making me like her a bit for the first time). On the other hand, Heather's completely overreacting and needs to fill her prescriptions for chill pills.
She regained her footing for this week's challenge. Actually, she didn't, because the challenge involved the girls doing martial arts poses while suspended in mid-air. I loved the girls' reactions when the martial artists introduced themselves by staging a fight. It was a mixture incredulousness, fear, and embarrassment (for the guys, because the thing was so cheesy).
Saleisha and Heather (the challenge winner) excelled, while Bianca, who made like Ambreal and revealed a crippling fear of heights, wasn't in the air for more than two seconds before she quit. Good. Though she's been less insufferable the past few weeks, this girl talks WAY too much (or at least she's edited that way). Let's hear more from Heather, who usually has something interesting/funny to say. Let's just not hear more from Chantal (who got to accompany Heather on a shopping spree) because she's still stupid.
Later, the girls got together and shot mostly hideous commercials for Queen Latifah's Cover Girl Line. Honestly, only Saleisha made a commercial which was halfway decent, while Heather and Lisa made commercials that could easily be labeled a disaster. Heather (who knew she could looks so happy?!) and Lisa's pictures were a different story. They were my favorites this week, while Chantal's Sunnybrook Farm shot (Mr. Jay's words) was clearly the worst.
In the panel, Ms. J's hair grew another few inches, while the judges rightly criticized the awfulness of the commercials. We also learned that Nigel apparently hates Jenah, who didn't help matters this week by displaying a crappy "whatevah" attitude.
It came down to Heather and Lisa, with Lisa getting the boot. Such a shame, because she started off with great potential, but completely lost her confidence a few weeks back and never got it back. Honestly, she seemed like she was on the verge of crying for the past three episodes. It was painful. At least now she's out of her misery. I hope.
So what'd you think of this episode? Is Saleisha messing with Heather on purpose (and in a much subtler way than Bianca does) or is it just coincidence? Since they're in Asia, and they did martial arts this week, what stereotypical activity will they have the girls to next week? Maybe math? Finally, with only five, beautiful young ladies standing before you, who do you like to be in the top 3?
