ANTM: GARGOYLES on ICE!

October 18th, 2007

My fave Lisa won the posing challenge, what what! (photo from CW)

We all know this show has never been unpredictable … but is it just me, or is this season even MORE predictable than ever?

The Rules Of Picking The Bottom 2:

*If your confessional is the first or second of the episode, you’re gone.
*If we’ve never heard from you before and suddenly you’re the episode’s narrator, you’re gone.
*If you’re convinced that you rocked a challenge or a shoot, you didn’t.

That said, this show isn’t my favourite because of its nail-biting eliminations – it’s all about the challenges, the camp, the crying, the fights, the Tyra-isms and the PHOTOSHOOTS!

How is it that 80% of these girls couldn’t grasp the gargoyle concept of last night’s shoot? Hooker stance and cocked hip does not a gargoyle make! (Cough, cough, Chantal and Sarah) Once again, I was digging Lisa (my current fave) and Heather, and was pretty impressed by Ebony, even though I’m still thoroughly unimpressed by her real-time presence. She always looks like she’s spreading lip balm with her mouth.

I’m all for Benny Ninja and everything, but seriously, he’s got more minutes clocked on this season than Tyra. I’m not hating though, not after he made the girls jump on trampolines and pose on ice skates. As Potes from TWoP says, “This week is all about trying to kill the girls, to which I say, tally ho!” Teaching the ‘tards how to pose on a trampoline was funny enough, but watching Heather try to strike a pose mid-air on ice skates had me in stitches. We re-watched it once…twice…thrice… and then seven times in slow-mo. For your viewing pleasure, I have created a re-enactment:

Here’s the original… go to 2:28!

And in conclusion:
*Heather seems to be getting more comfortable with her social surroundings.
*Sarah can suck it.
*Jenah looks haaaarrrrrsh at judging. Small town mallrat harsh.
*Lisa is still Sarah Taylor.
*I loved seeing Dani, but is she even skinnier? And how about that non-accent? (Remember when she got all that guff about how a Top Model needs to enunciate? Girl’s been taking some speech lessons or something)
