We are now three hours into this season of "America's Next Top Model," and we're already starting to learn quite a bit about this crop of contestants. For example, Ren hates everyone -- and Alasia hates Ren. We also learned that Raina has huge eyebrows that Naduah is the female version of Coach from "Survivor." Fun season -- I already miss Nicole and Laura from last season, but there's plenty of drama thus far.
This week of "Top Model" started out with the all-too-familiar "nude challenge," where the girls had to sell one product while wearing nothing else (like a hat, or sunglasses...or a watch). Jessica was declared the best of the group, whereas Alasia shocked everyone for having one of the most uncomfortable-looking shots in the history of the show. We saw a lot of her bum -- probably more than any of us wanted to see. However, because new judge Andre Leon Talley loved the "rear shot," she managed to stick around over the all-too-cocky Gabrielle.
Then, we got to see the models take on a whole new sort of challenge: managing their speed on the runway to avoid getting his by a pendulum. This segment had easily the best moment of the episode, as Alexandra was completely thrown off. First, she fell down the stairs -- then she was knocked off the stage. In a confessional, she talked about how she wanted to look "fierce" when instead she just looked pouty and mad. (Speaking of pouty and mad, why is Ren not quitting the competition since she obviously wants to?)
The challenge for the remaining twelve models was both tricky and quite frankly strange: squirting some perfume on you that fades over time. (Why would anyone want them stuff?) Anyway, the contestants had to pose in the rain while trying to make a halfway decent facial expression. Some people (such as Raina and Tatiana, the "volunteer" mortician) succeeded, whereas Naduah and Ren managed to completely fail.
But...Ren managed to stay even though she doesn't want to be there! Naduah went home, which was easily a disappointment since she was the most original of any of the remaining girls.
