Episode Report Card Potes: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Pretty Things
By Potes | Season 6 | Episode 3 | Aired on 03.21.2006
Some crew members have to carry Danielle backstage. One of them suggests calling a doctor. It is a bad time for Danielle as we head to commercials.
When we return, we are privy to Danielle's backstage dilemma. She is attended by the improbably named Doctor Pogharian and Nurse Halgaziam. Maybe this is all a part of Tyra's dream? Danielle explains that, when she fell, her pinky toe came out of the shoe and twisted. Ouch. The suspiciously named and additionally very fat Pogharian/Halgaziam medical team tells Danielle, "You probably just strained...sprained it." Uh, okay. First: "probably"? You're a doctor, make a diagnosis with some confidence. And second: "strained...sprained"? Are they kidding? They probably bled Danielle with leeches and told her to eat some pennies and she'd be fine. Poor Danielle.
The girls return back before Panel, Danielle on crutches. She explains to the panel that she sprained her baby toe, but that it's all good. She's a trooper, that Danielle. Jade is first before the panel. She held it together well with the stripper shoes, and also won the challenge this week. The judges clap. Jade's photo gets good comments. Sara's walk in the crazy heels was good. Her photo gets mixed reviews. Nnenna showed frustration in her face during the challenge. Her full-body shot is great, but the close up is mediocre. Next is Leslie. We all know she has walking problems. Her photo is awesome, and inspires Nigel's lust. Nigel likes that Danielle smiles through the pain. Her photo is gorgeous and gets raves from the entire panel. Jared calls Brooke a closet drag queen. "Closet"? Her photo is horrible and jowly. I totally think they pick bad photos for her on purpose, though I suspect that will end soon. Jared speaks of Gina's freakout during the challenge. Her Sleeping Beauty photo is too wide awake for the judges. It's pretty, but the wrong feel. The judges talk about Kari's propensity for falling. She starts crying in front of the Panel because she wanted to do well, but was a mess. Her photo is very meh. The judges call her "apple pie." Nigel tells her to tone up a little bit -- nothing drastic, but she needs to be firmer. I think that's sound advice. And then, Furonda. She looks ridiculous as always. Joanie gets kudos on the walk. Her body in the fairy-tale photo is exquisite. Mollie Sue walked okay. Her photo lacks twinkle, she is an empty shell, blah blah blah blah no personality blah.
The judges deliberate. Mollie Sue falls flat, but Twiggy likes her. Jade and Danielle will both fly through without any problems. Brooke, for the thousandth time, is all wrong but she's right. Nnenna has the makings of a top model, but Twiggy wants to see her personality. Nigel says that Furonda, in her photo, looks like a squashed insect under a petri dish. "'Pastry dish'?" asks Miss J. Ugh, shut up. Kari isn't a runway girl, says Jared, but Nigel says that she's easy to mold and that designers might like that. Leslie needs practice walking. Her photo is sexy, but needs to be more model-y. Sara is beautiful, but needs to work her awkwardness. Gina is a hot mess. Joanie's walk was the best, according to Twiggy, but her face can't take different hairstyles. It's the jaw. The judges have made their decision.
