By Potes | Season 17 | Episode 2 | Aired on 09.21.2011
And then there's Lisa. She proudly tells us (even though that's NOT her word) that she created a hot dog called The Skinny Little Bitch. It's a veggie dog with tomatoes, onions, and no bun. She then says archly that eating a hot dog without a bun might be difficult for someone who isn't daring. Okay, I confess, I am starting to enjoy her a little bit. Even though, after the fashion of her idol Bad Bad Leroy Brown, she often looks like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone. Lisa drops a handful of shredded lettuce in her mouth, and then proceeds to hold her bunless hot dog like a cigarette. Jay tells us that she looks bright and sexy, and everything is a dare. I can never tell if he's being sarcastic or not. And finally there's Bre. Jay tells her that she looks totally chic with her crunk hairdo. She takes an invigorated bite from her hotdog, as a girlfriend would. Jay reminds us that Bre has had a long and emotional day, and says that everything on set because a little soft and weak. She lets out a big sigh, because being your own hotdog-eating girlfriend is exhausting sometimes. And that's a wrap!
Back at the house, the girls get the Tyra Mail of Doom, which foretells someone's elimination. Kayla braids Allison's hair, and admits that it took her a second to grasp the concept of today's shoot. What, that's crazy! I don't see what's so confusing about being free while eating a free hot dog freely. Kayla tells us that she's nervous. She thinks that she's got the whole package way more than some other girls in the house, and would hate to go home over a hot dog shoot. Meanwhile, Bre is still complaining about her haircut. She says that it took her a year to grow her hair back, and she's just drained. She also says that she's bald again, which is not true. What she has going on is worse than bald. Bianca hopes that everything goes well, but is nervous for her BFF. With that, we head to commercials.
When we return, it's panel time. There are prizes, there are judges. Ashlee Simpson is the guest judge, sporting a sleeveless turtleneck with a big heart cut-out on the chest. She looks cheap and insane, right? I might have missed this last week, but as part of her prize package the winner gets a blog on Vogue Italia's web site. Those crafty folks at Vogue Italia, finally getting serious about a Pulitzer.
Dominique is up first for judging, wearing a sequined zebra-print shirt. Upon seeing her photo, Nigel says, "I'm not sure that I see survivor." Well, yes, it's a photo wherein she has chili and guacamole all over her hands. What do these people want? Tyra and Ashlee are fans, though, and Tyra says that Dominique looks like a famous actress who cared less about winning an Academy Award, because she just wanted to get out of there and get her Pink's hot dog. This is a feeling that Tyra knows well, with the exception of the "actress" and "Academy Award" parts. Bianca is up next, and manages to maintain a modicum of dignity by having a photo in which she neither has condiments smeared all over her, nor has her mouth open wide to accept the insertion of a frank. She's just smiling away with a partial hot dog in one hand and a bun in the other. ALT says that it looks very candid, and shows her talent. Ashlee loves it as well.
