Episode Report Card Potes: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Down At Snaggle Rock
By Potes | Season 6 | Episode 7 | Aired on 04.18.2006
The girls all meet up with Deprise and Jeff, who let them in on the fact that Deprise is an actress. Danielle interviews that she didn't see that coming. Deprise apologizes and says that she felt guilty. Lies! The challenge was, of course, to see whether the girls could deal with harsh criticism and still be able to do their job and take a good photo. In case you didn't get that from the three times they've already said it. The winner of the challenge is Jade. Jeff notes that she didn't seem fazed by anything they threw at her. And whether this because she's dumb, or rabidly egotistical, or knew that Deprise was an actor, or is just good at taking criticism, you have to kind of hand it to her. I'm okay giving her some credit, because I'm sure she'll do something soon enough to make me despise her once more. And, sure enough, Jade does that thing where she pats herself on the shoulders to commend her own victory, and I am back to thinking that she's a big jerk. Still, that was six good seconds of respecting Jade I got in, there. It's a new world record! Jade chooses Nnenna to share in the victory, and Jeff tells them that they'll each have a big surprise waiting for them. Joanie interviews that she's not surprised about Jade's victory because Jade is used to being harsh, so she can handle someone being harsh to her.
When the girls get home, there are two giant boxes, one for Nnenna and one for Jade. Nnenna goes to touch hers, and Jade's box starts to move. Please let it be monsters! Jade goes around the back of the box and starts to squeal. But alas, it is a squeal of joy rather than terror, because the box holds Jade's mom, Diana. And if you think I'm going to rag on someone's mom, you've got me all wrong. Okay, unless that person is Tyra's mom. I'm not made of stone, people. Jade's mom is pretty. Jade gives her a big hug and starts crying. Awww, she's half-human. The contents of the other box are instantly recognizable by the scraggly 'stache and stinking aura of need. Yes, it is Nnenna's boyfriend, John. Karma, meet Nnenna. Brooke interviews that Jade's reaction to her mom was very sweet, and that she's never seen that side of Jade before. Of Nnenna, Brooke says, "Nnenna is hugging her boyfriend." We see an awkward and stony Nnenna being embraced by John. She can barely even look him in the eye. Oh, young lovers, together again. It really makes you believe in romance, doesn't it? Nnenna interviews that for a split second she was excited...because she thought it might be one of her sisters. Ouch. She says that was wishful thinking, because it turned out to be John. She says "John" with the same inflection that she would use to say "a box full of fresh shit." Nnenna describes her reaction to John as indifference. At least she's honest. Well, for the moment. Danielle interviews that John's being there is going to be difficult for Nnenna and will cause tension. I'm sure the producers are very worried about this, because it's not what they planned at all. Commercials.
