Episode Report Card Potes: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Hating Ass Bitches
By Potes | Season 17 | Episode 10 | Aired on 11.16.2011
When we return, the girls head to the bar of the Blue Palace Resort and Spa, where they meet Miss J. He is wearing a sort of brown toga-muumuu, and his hair is fashioned like a braided curtain tassel. He tells the ladies that they've been judged by the experts, and now it's time to be judged by their peers. Yes, this is the day when all the models are encouraged to bitch at each other! We knew this moment would come. The challenge is set up like a casting, where the girls will walk for one another and go through portfolio review and the like. Wizened soothsayer Laura nails it again when she says, "Oh my gosh, this is gonna be a train wreck." Miss J. encourages the girls not to hold back, under the guise that all-stars must be able to give and take constructive criticism. We then pan back and see that Miss J. is wearing men's dress socks and shoes with his toga and curtain tassle hair. I don't even know anymore, people.
Laura is first to walk, and Dominique says that she's a little country, but is also a white girl with sass. It's the best kind of white girl to be! Angelea tells us that Lisa's walk was sloppy, and adds a definitive, "I can't see her walking on any type of runway ever in life." Even at the airport, someone will be waiting for Lisa with a wheelchair, just so there are no close calls. It's less painful for everyone that way. Lisa gets in her own jabs, saying that she doesn't see Allison having any confidence, and would make her walk again. Angelea walks, but instead of hearing any commentary on the walk itself, Lisa tells us that Angelea gets crabby, and her attitude is really bad. We see Dominique walk, and while Lisa says that she's sexy and confident, Angelea tells her that she tried to give so much attitude that she ended up stumbling. That seems more factual than crabby, but it's certainly not said with kindness. I do have to take a moment here to note that, even though Dominique's inclusion in this lineup has heretofore been a little puzzling to me, she's pretty freaking hot. At this challenge, every other girl looks a total burning mess, and Dominique is turning it out. She's got a banging bod, and seems to have the basics of proper grooming down, unlike the rest of her cohort.
The girls then turn their attention to portfolios. Laura tells Dominique that though her face looks amazing in one shot, her legs make it appear as though she's farting. Even the wisest soothsayer can't consistently maintain a way with words, okay? Dominique doesn't enjoy Lisa's stilt photo, while Angelea doesn't care for Laura's Nene Leakes photo. Miss J. asks Laura how she feels she's doing so far in this competition, and Laura says she's learned so much since her cycle and is really strong, and feels she has a shot at winning it. The trickery continues as Miss J. asks Laura to name one girl who doesn't deserve to win ANTM All-Stars. Laura replies that, even if it means she doesn't win the challenge, she can't say that anyone doesn't deserve to be there. Allison tows the same line as Laura, as does Lisa. I didn't expect that kind of tact from D'Amato, but there you go.
