Episode Report Card Potes: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Do Mess With Texas
By Potes | Season 5 | Episode 3 | Aired on 09.27.2005
The judges want Ebony to show off the sexiness of her braids, which she had pulled back for panel. She lets her hair down and flings it around enthusiastically, which the judges love. The entire panel is disappointed with Ebony's photo, in which she has several braids covering her face. Miss J. says, "Hair in the face is for ugly girls." The judges give Lisa a tongue bath for her photo even though she looks cross-eyed. She tells the judges how she's posed incessantly in the mirror since she was seven, which maybe explains some of her personality deficiencies. The other models kind of roll their eyes at her.
James St. James notes that Nicole has a real sex-kitten look about her and makes him think naughty things. Nigel says, "I'm glad you said that. I could never get away with that." I don't like it when Nigel gets creepy. The judges like Diane's look, with the exception of her giant belt. Everyone loves Nicole's photo, and Nigel says it's the best of anyone so far. Twiggy and James both want to run out and get the outfit she's wearing in the photo. Twiggy chirps, "I saw it first!" Tyra says that Diane is too reserved, and that she'd like Diane to bring more life to the photos. Miss J. says that it looks like she's not comfortable with her body, but that she is in fact in the competition because of her body. Interesting.
The judges once again tell Nik to put her crazy curly hair all around. I can see why she'd want to pull it back, because it must be annoying to her, but she really looks great with it down. Her photo gets high praise from the judges, and deservedly so. On Bre, Miss J. says, "That's black Town and Country, babycakes." Tyra sends the girls off so that the judges can deliberate as we cut to commercials.
And Lisa won Cover Girl of the Week last week, perhaps because of her awesome comment about Sarah's crazy cantaloupe lips.
We return to the judges' discussion. Twiggy thinks Cassandra's photo isn't quite there yet, but she's still rooting for her. Nigel thinks Cassandra is a bit lost as a person. James says that she sometimes looks a little pinched, like she just ate a pickle. The judges give Jayla an A for effort and a C for actual results. They are also sad that Diane doesn't fit into the jolly, fat mold that they spent all that extra plastic making. James also thinks she's ungainly. Twiggy praises Nicole to the high heavens. Miss J. says that he thinks Kyle looks like a socialite's daughter. Twiggy adds that models all used to be socialites' daughters in England until she came along in the 1960s, and that she was the first working-class model. Tyra says, "We don't say 'working-class,' we say 'ghetto.'" Tyra Banks: model, producer, talk-show host, and Professor of Socioeconomics. Twiggy says in a cute British accent that she guesses she's "ghet-to." Tyra laughs her ghetto laugh. James says that some girls have no bad angle, but that Kim isn't one of them. Miss J. loves the fluidity of Lisa's body. The judges hate Ebony's shot, and Miss J. says that she looks like she needs an enema. Of all people, he should know. James St. James says that Coryn is going for Beyoncé but gets RuPaul. Sarah's photo looks like an ad for St. John. Bre gets a big meh all around while Twiggy praises Nik's everything, but especially her bottom. Who knew Twiggy was an ass man?
