This week is all about trying to kill the girls, to which I say, tally ho! Apparent new regular Benny Ninja is at the helm of two-thirds of the attempts, the first being when he teaches them about posing with movement on a trampoline. Isn't the trampoline at least as dangerous as horseshoes, by which I mean hasn't it been outlawed yet? Ebony and Heather narrowly escape injury, while Ambreal apparently is a natural at bouncing and emoting. In the midst of all this, Janet is our prime narrator and interviewee, which is of course the certain kiss of death. She briefly establishes herself as the "mama" of the house, and as such harps about how the place is such a pigsty and practices her runway walking instead of practicing running naked through the house, as several of the other girls do.
The second death attempt sees the girls posing not only in the air but on the ice, as celebrated pairs ice-skater or -dancer Lloyd Eisler gives them a little flip action while Benny Ninja yells out one of three emotions. Lisa wins over the judges with her in-air-on-ice depiction of "sorrow," despite the fact that the other girls thought she sucked, and wins the chance to be in an ad in Seventeen along with Season 6 winner and challenge judge Dani, nee Danielle. She picks Janet and Ebony to partake in the prize with her. When they return from their day of shooting, Lisa encounters a whole load of stank from several of the other girls. And where stank is involved, you will most certainly find Bianca, who interrupts Lisa's tale of how fun the day was by asking her if her makeup is causing her to break out. Sure, it's cruel in a casual sort of way, but I'm really just glad to see she has her spirit back.
Our final death attempt occurs at the week's shoot, which takes place atop a high building and sees the girls posing as high-fashion gargoyles. If you're skeptical about how this differs from their everyday looks, you're not alone. Ambreal is seriously afraid of heights, but manages to pull through and get the shoot done. Ebony and Bianca both really turn it out, while Janet is preoccupied with the exposure of her white granny bloomers. In the end, it is Janet and Ambreal in the final two, with Mama Hot Wax getting sent back to Georgia. The greatest part about Janet's elimination is that Tyra can barely muster up any enthusiasm and gives her a half-hearted "I hope you continue to try to be a model" as a goodbye. My guess is that this terse send-off is a result of some particularly nasty ingrown hairs from the last Brazilian. Want more? The full recap starts right below!
Previously on ANTM: Makeovers! As usual, these brought joy and pain, sunshine, and...well, more pain in the case of Bianca, who got hit up Sinead O'Connor-style. The girls posed as flowers for their photo shoot, but Victoria and Saleisha wilted under the pressure. Victoria's prickly attitude at judging sealed the deal, and, apparently, led Tyra to believe she was about to assault her with a Jimmy Choo. Of all the dumb things Tyra has ever done -- well, at least the ones I know about, because I'm sure there are more hidden deep within the ANTM footage vaults -- this is by far my favorite. Na na na na na na!
We begin the episode with Saleisha noting, as one might guess, that she does not want to be in the bottom two again. She wants to wow the judges. She wants them to be speechless. I very often want them to be speechless, but for different reasons entirely. We then cut to shots of the f'ing disgusting house, with mountains of piled-up dishes in the sink and spilled milk on the floor. It's really nasty. Janet gives the other girls a talking-to about respecting the beautiful house they live in. It's hard to concentrate on what she's saying, because there appears to be a rotting turkey carcass right behind her. I don't think this is what Tyra meant by "going green." Janet wants to put together a chores list. Jenah says that Janet has become the mom of the house -- much like her name- and hairstyle-sake, Janet Wood of Three's Company -- and it's kind of annoying. Janet tells us that she's constantly trying to focus and improve, and that being one of the shorter girls in the house and "curvy" she's fighting against a lot. The editors are surely not fighting against the fact that she's going to be eliminated this episode.
Out on one of the many porches, Heather gives her critique of the other girls as models. Lisa, she says, needs to work on her face. Ebony needs work all around. Janet is pretty good and has a slammin' body, but Heather just doesn't know. Chantal interviews, "Heather, geez, how do you really feel?" It's true. Heather doesn't actually seem like she's being catty, though. It's like she doesn't even know that she should be whispering right now. I know, I know. You say ass-bur-jers, I say oz-bur-gers. Bianca tells Heather that she's a judge now, then asks Heather to evaluate her. Heather says, without missing a beat, "You need to pull from inside the emotions like so that they look more true." Well, she's at least as articulate as Twiggy. Bianca asks Heather what her own problem is, and she says it's her awkward body. What about the moles?
Elsewhere, Ambreal sings a song about how she thinks of our caressing in times when she's stressing. We're right there for her. Awww, I didn't know she cared! Ambreal says that she's a musical theater major at Howard and goes around singing all the time. I'm sure that's not annoying at all. Ambreal feels confident, because she's high up on the list of top models and knows that it's her time to shine. I feel like a thunderclap could be edited in here, just so there's no question of the impending doom.
Lisa, on the other hand, talks about how she overthinks everything. Saleisha, always eager to interject a helpful annoyance, adds that that will take over the photo shoot. Lisa tells us that she thought about it all when she entered the competition, but she is so focused on fixing her problem areas that she's making it worse. It's called choking, babe. Sarah tells us that Lisa is insecure and her Debbie Downer-ish-ness is kind of annoying. Couldn't you totally see it: "Hey, Lisa, you're really squinting. Do you need to get the prescription for your glasses updated?" "Nope -- the syphilis I contracted in foster care must finally be taking hold!" Wah wah wah.
Tyra Mail! "It's time to respect your clocks! Spring forward, fall back." Maybe they're going to have a bounce-off for the love of Flava Flav? Chantal actually asks if it's "that time." Yes, you're all going to go on a field trip to the bank to open Daylight Savings Accounts. Sigh.
The girls enter a gymnastics center, where Benny Ninja awaits them. He says he hopes the girls remember him from the Old Navy challenge. That happened, like, ten minutes ago. Today, Benny is going to teach the girls how to pose with movement, for those times when a photographer might want them to jump. So he's going to instruct them how to convey emotion while they're in the air. He says it's very simple, and bounces on a trampoline saying, "Hit a look!" repeatedly. How about, "Hit the posing consultant!" The goodwill left over from the Paris Is Burning House of Ninja is starting to wane.
Janet gives the trampoline a shot first and talks about how much she would hate to go home. Well, get ready to hate your life then, my elfin friend. She has a hard time getting into posing while bouncing. Sarah is , followed by Bianca. Benny tells Bianca to think outside the box, and she totally falls ass-down on the trampoline. He says, "That's the end of the box." If she had been turned 75 degrees to the right, it really would have been the end of the box. Trampolines are dangerous! As evidence, Jenah falls right off, and Ebony does, like, three face-plants. Saleisha tells us that Ebony is so crazy and she loves her. Why is she always such a stooge at panel, then? Chantal is great on the trampoline -- I bet she's a cheerleader. Heather...well, as she says, she's not a physical person. She is the anti-Chantal in all ways. And at times, she kind of looks like she crawled out of her delightful coffin-slumber to be at these challenges. What? She's really pale! Ambreal, meanwhile, is amaaaaazing. She's had some dance classes in the past, which she acknowledges help in this situation. Lisa plain old sucks. Chantal conjectures that she's not really trying. Benny says that she held off a lot, and needs more confidence in herself. An out-of-breath Benny gives the girls a few words of encouragement and bounces off.
Back at home, Jenah and Sarah streak through the house and jump in the pool. Blurred bits! My favorite. Bianca says this really is like ANTM summer camp. It's like T-Zone, but with more gays doing your hair and makeup. Janet, meanwhile, says she's a lot more mature than the other girls and can't be swayed by how they play pattycake and get naked. She actually says "pattycake." Is that a double-entendre? Janet is all about practicing. A fat lot of good it does her, but you can't say that she didn't put in the effort.
, the girls head to an ice rink. Heather tells us quite emphatically that it was, "Freezing! Ass! Cold!" She thought to herself, "Oh crap. Ice." Heather is so weird but also a riot. Benny Ninja meets the girls once again and tells them that today they are going to pose not only in the air, but on the ice. AT THE SAME TIME! Lisa, who has never been to an ice-skating rink in her life, speculates that they're trying to kill the models. Lo, I have prayed for this day! Commercials.
When we return, the models are a tad bit nervous about their impending deaths. Sarah, in a voice reminiscent of Grover crossed with Bea Arthur, interviews that she is very tall and long and awkward, and does not want to be flipped on her head by a very small man. I, however, want nothing more. Benny tells the models that they won't be judged on how well they skate, but how well they pose. Work that bloody gash! Benny then introduces famous skater and frightening goatee enthusiast Lloyd Eisler. ["Also, because Potes is apparently not trashy enough to care: That's Kristy Swanson enthusiast and scandalhound Lloyd Eisler, who was paired with Swanson on the execrable Skating With Celebrities while he was still married and his wife was pregnant, and who left said pregnant wife to be with Swanson, and who later was present when said formerly pregnant former wife and Swanson got in a slapfight resulting in assault charges." -- Miss Alli] Eisler tells us that in pairs skating, the boy is the frame, and the girl is the picture. In this case, the picture of desperation. During the challenge, Benny will give the girls an emotion to convey in their pose. I'm guessing "fear" would be too easy. Ambreal is feeling good about her chances, since she did so well in the trampoline lesson. Benny introduces two fashion experts who will be judging the girls: Ann Shoket, editor-in-chief of Seventeen, and...Cycle 6 winner Dani nee Danielle! Dani looks awesome, and has made great strides in taming her accent. I do enjoy her.
The girls practice their flips standing first, then take the ice. Janet is up first, and has to convey anger. Or, as she interprets it, "A blind person smelling something bad." Ann Shoket thinks that Janet's attempt was on par with the stink of the invisible thing she was smelling. Jenah expresses sorrow, and Sarah gets anger, or as she interprets it, "Nothing." Bianca's emotion is joy, and she puts on a big smile, which Ann Shoket loves. Chantal also gets joy, and also puts on a big smile. Dani says that Chantal did well, and that she's keeping an eye on her. Heather's emotion is anger, but it's hard to even get to the point of thinking about emotions as her poor skating partner cannot lift her at all. She tells us that her body was not cooperating. Maybe her body can't look her in the eye because of the Asperger's?
Lisa is up , and Benny gives her sorrow. If, as Lisa did, a person has spent six years in foster care and seen every kind of hurt, I imagine this one comes easy. The judges think it's beautiful, even though to me she just looks confused. Bianca, as will come as no surprise, thinks that Lisa's pose was cheesy and clumsy and not at all graceful, but Ann thinks that Lisa's energy radiated throughout the rink. Saleisha expresses joy fairly well, though I'm sure it would have been better if she had been reunited with her roller skates and lifted by Jo. Ebony...is a hot mess per usual. Ambreal tells us that Benny likes exaggerated things, so she went a little over the top on the joy.
Benny gives his critique. Ambreal was too cheesy; Lisa was extremely focused with body placement and was on par. Janet's eyes got lost and she needs to commit. Dani says that Heather made her nervous. Heather makes everybody nervous. Bianca's commitment to the poses was good. Ebony's sorrow, says Ann, was as corny as a cornfield. Or, as corny as saying something is as corny as a cornfield. The winner of the competition will get to show off her poses in an ad in Seventeen for Akademiks, also featuring Danielle! And the winner is...Lisa. Wow! Lisa is excited. Jenah, Ambreal and Saleisha do not look at all happy for her. Benny tells us that the judges made a unanimous decision. And I mean, given the general suckitude of the field, I don't know that this is too high a compliment. Still, good prize. Lisa gets to pick two friends, and goes with Janet and Ebony. Again, Jenah, Ambreal and Saleisha are pissed.
Sarah tells us that she's kind of surprised Lisa won, since she sucked. Sarah thought Bianca, Jenah or Ambreal would have gotten it. Everyone discusses it in the limo, and someone notes that Am is pissed. She's all off to the side, reading a leaflet or something. The hell? Back at home, Ambreal interviews that she's pissed off, but happy for Lisa, even though she didn't think Lisa did that well. Yeah, she seems sooooo happy for Lisa right now. How magnanimous of her. Ambreal says she feels like she does well, but then always gets the critique that she does too much. She gets a few tears. Oh, buck up, Miss Entitlement.
We cut to Lisa, Janet and Ebony on the Akademiks advertorial shoot. Lisa tells us how fly everything and everybody was. Ebony tells us that Lisa did really well. Marc Baptiste, the photographer, says that Lisa has the complete package. The photos do look pretty good, though Janet is conspicuously a short Caucasian.
Back at home, Bianca quite accurately points out that Ambreal is hating on Lisa's challenge win and is "a tad bit jealous." They talk about who's going to go home, and a few people say Lisa, though Chantal adds that she takes such a good picture. Jenah cattily says that she thinks they all know who they'd vote off. Or DO they? The challenge winners come home and tell the other girls how much fun the shoot was. Everyone acts more or less disinterested. And then, Bianca can't resist. She asks Lisa, "Is that makeup making you break out?" "Is that makeup making you break out" is the new "You're borderline plus-size." Janet instantly points out that Bianca is hatin'. Lisa interviews that she really doesn't get it -- if it's jealousy or intimidation or the fact that they don't like her personality, which she says is okay, too. My guess is all of the above.
Meanwhile, apparently not everyone hates Lisa, because Saleisha is telling her all the shit the other girls talked about her. They apparently said it would be nice if she weren't there. Well, maybe it would be. Maybe they're sick of waking up from a nap to find her giving them a lap dance, you know? Maybe they don't like it when she forces them to put a dollar in her g-string for old times' sake. Lisa says this makes her want to work even harder and spit in the faces of the other girls when they go home. She gives the customary disliked-girl's interview, saying she's not there to make friends and doesn't care what they think. And, she adds, whether they like it or not, she's still there. Commercials.
And you know who's still there whether we like it or not? Yeah, it's Jaslene.
When we return, there is Tyra Mail. "When you're on top, never look down." Screams! Excitement! Jenah wonders if they'll be jumping out of a plane. Saleisha simply says, "We're high." Oh, I have no doubt. Ambreal interviews that she does not do heights at all. She'll do what she has to do, but isn't looking forward to the shoot. To add to Ambreal's annoyance at the sorry state of her life, Janet asks if she'll help her with posing. Ambreal begrudgingly says that she's tired, but she'll do it. Janet interviews a variation on all of her other interviews, saying that she knows she can improve and just has to watch her body angles.
The girls head to the Omni Hotel in downtown L.A. and go up to the roof. Saleisha and Sarah have to hold both of Ambreal's hands as they lead her up the stairs. Jay makes note of the fact that she's crying and does not look happy, and she admits her fear of heights to him. She says that she feels like a baby, but can't help what she's scared of. I want to throw her in a very small, dark tank of water with a clown and a shark, to see if she can help being scared of any of those things. Jay tells the girls that sometimes the world of fashion is going to take them to new heights and push them to the edge of their limits. To wit, for this shoot they are going to be -- say it with me now -- high-fashion gargoyles. They thought about doing this shoot last year, but figured it would give Jaslene an unfair advantage. The girls will pose on a platform to give the illusion that they're on the edge of a building. Mike Rosenthal of the "harmful side effects of smoking" shoot will be the photographer. What's with all the repeats so early in the season? We want fresh blood!
The girls head back downstairs for hair and makeup, and we see wardrobe stylists Anda and Masha, along with hairstylist Christian Marc. The girls have lots of black makeup and leather and generally look like S&M drag-queen versions of Madonna circa the Blonde Ambition tour. Heather is up first, and interviews that she's a little frustrated because she did badly in the challenge, but she'll be happy with a good picture. Jay asks Heather to give some poses where she looks in the camera, then gives her the high praise that she really did look like a fashion gargoyle creature. She's pleased. Jenah is up , and she admits to being scared of heights but says she likes the rush of the fear. She's probably scared of heights the way that, like, the human race is scared of heights. At least we know she's intelligent enough to be cognizant of the fact that plummeting to her death would be unpleasant.
Sarah's up and is just kind of posing like a big turd. Well, a turd with limbs who can put one arm up in the air. She has no idea what she's doing and is particularly uninspired. Jay seems to agree. Have you guys noticed that sometimes Sarah seems to lose her chin? It's like it just blends in with her neck or something. It makes me want to call her Chinless Jones. Then there's Janet, who interviews that a photo shoot can make or break you. She's concerned that what might break her is her white underwear. Mike tells her to put an arm in front of it and you can hardly see it. Jay says he's not sure if Janet "got" the photo shoot, and also isn't sure if she could do it on her own without constant prodding to let go. Saleisha is , and her legs look so long, I can't even tell you. Jay tells her that her shoot came off a little men's-magazine-ish. She's mad, because she really wanted to knock him out today. I really want to knock him out all the time. Jay tells her to bring it time.
up is Chantal, who makes up for the debacle of last week. Jay tells her she did a great job. Then we have Bianca, who turns the shoot out. Jay congratulates her and tells her to go about her business. I've been dog-sitting for the past two weeks, so this makes me think that he wants Bianca to go poop on the other side of the roof. She'd probably do it too, given her grimy nature. Lisa is , and, as we have learned earlier in the episode, is prone to thinking too much. She starts off slow but eventually lets go and gets some praise from Jay. Mike tells her that when she's not thinking about it too much, she comes up with the best stuff. Jay tells her not to worry about screwing up.
Ambreal is . Jay assures her that she's totally safe. She interviews that she's really scared, but she really wants to stay in the competition, so she has to man up and do it. Jay notes that she has the same face in every picture, which is her biggest problem overall. He tells Ambreal that he's glad she got over her fear, but he wishes she had more creativity and thinks she should be further along. Ambreal is upset for not doing as well as she could have. Then we have Ebony. Based on her normal demeanor, Jay thought the shoot was going to be quite dull. But surprise, surprise, Ebony turns it out. He asks, "How in the hell does she do that?" He asks what her secret is, since she always stands there as dull as dishwater, but as soon as they start shooting, she looks so good. Ebony doesn't know how she does it. Jay says he can't believe she was that good.
Back at the house, there is Tyra Mail. Judging tomorrow, and 1/10 of the girls will be sent home. Janet tells Lisa and Saleisha that she thought her shoot was good, and that it was something that Jay didn't expect from her. That is probably only true if he actually expected her to do well, which I doubt. Lisa thinks she's at the 50/50 point. She interviews that her goal, while there are still a good number of girls there, is to get called first. Ambreal is really nervous. She confessionalizes that she defeated herself with the heights thing, and it was really upsetting. She prays to God that she's not the fourth girl to leave, and adds that it feels like the devil is really after her right now. I somehow suspect that the devil is more intimately involved with Tyra's talk show, but okay. Commercials.
The girls enter panel, where Tyra actually looks pretty chic if a bit '80s in a strapless black dress. There are prizes, there are judges. Miss J.'s Chia fro is a little bigger than last week, and Twiggy is super-relieved that Victoria isn't there to sass her anymore. Benny Ninja is the guest judge. He's wearing a little cowboy hat and looks like a dead ringer for Blaine Edwards of Men on Film.
Ebony is up first for evaluation. She's still doing the weird thing where she chews her lips, but the judges love her photo. Nigel says it's broken and looks a little weird, but in a fashion way. In other words, and I know you're surprised to hear this sentiment come out of Nigel's mouth, it's so wrong it's right. Tyra thinks the photo is absolutely stunning. She notes that Ebony didn't seem to have fear on top of the building, but does appear like she's afraid to smile. Ebony admits that she is a little, because she thinks her gums are too big. Oooh, they kind of are on the corners of her mouth. You know what I'm talking about. Tyra gives her a lesson in requesting candy from strangers, noting that if you do so with a giant smile, you're much more likely to get the piece without the razor blade in it. In other words, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, sweetheart. I learned this lesson from a cab driver who also apparently gave Linda Blair life advice about getting out of an abusive relationship. Good times. Ebony smiles, and I swear all I can see are gums.
Chantal is , and the judges give a, "Woo!" Twiggy says that the photo could have been raunchy, but isn't. Nigel makes fun of Twiggy for not finding the shot raunchy, but Tyra says that some shots of women in high-fashion magazines are actually sexy. She uses Gisele as an example, saying that she still brings a fashion element to the slutty poses she uses while wearing nothing but underwear. Point taken. is Ambreal. Miss J. says she looks like a fashionable robot. She does! More specifically, she looks like she's doing the robot. Nigel says that she looks like she's being comedic, and Benny adds that she's good at twisting her body, but doesn't have to have a twist in every shot. Miss J. asks if she was afraid on the roof, and she admits she was. Tyra thought that Ambreal looked extremely uncomfortable in her film, and gives the advice that when you're wearing an outfit with big shoulder pads, you need to pull up your neck. Bea Arthur must have heeded this lesson, because I can't think of a single Golden Girls-era caftan in which she lost her neck. Even though, as Tyra points out, actresses are allowed to have stubby necks.
Sarah is . Nigel doesn't see gargoyle at all. He says it's a pretty picture, but not at all what they asked for. It is true that she's just standing there with her hands on her hips. I've never seen a gargoyle do that once. Twiggy tells her that, on a real shoot, this could have cost the client money and her a job. Bianca is , and gets kudos on her whole look. She tells the panel that she's feeling her haircut. Her photo is one of the best of the bunch, according to Nigel, and Tyra thinks it's her first really effective picture. She commends Bianca on the open squint of her eyes, and tells her to study the picture and be better more often.
Then we have Janet. Twiggy says that Janet's face is very intense, and that she actually loves the photograph. Nigel, however, doesn't see many angles in the body, and notes that she looks small and compact. Janet brings up the bit about covering up her underwear, and Nigel tells her that her underwear could have been Photoshopped in a second. Benny tells her that she can't pay attention to those little details, and Tyra says that when you're doing editorial, you just have to get the shot and "embody yourself." I feel like Tyra was playing around with her magnetic fridge poetry one day and stumbled upon "embody yourself," and was like, "YES." In any case, if you're a catalogue model, you do need to have a sense of what color underwear you're wearing. Good to know. In any case, I think Janet knows she's screwed.
Lisa is . Twiggy loves her body shape, and says Lisa's photo is her favorite of the day. Nigel commends her on the intensity of her face, and Twiggy says it's beautiful and scary. Lisa, whose hair is straightened, says that she had fun with it. Tyra notes that something's different with Lisa and she seems sad. Lisa says that there's been a separation, and ever since she won the challenge, some girls in the house have become more distant and catty. Jenah and Sarah exchange a distant and catty look. Lisa continues that a lot of girls wish she weren't there and think it would be better without her. Tyra tells Lisa never to dull her shine for someone else. Miss J. says, "Jealousy, jealousy," under his breath. I'm sure this whole incident is going to make the girls like her a lot more.
Heather is , and she gets a shout-out for showing some confidence as she walks up. Nigel says that Heather's shot is beautiful, but he hasn't seen her from the front yet in a photo. Heather says she wasn't trying to do that, and Tyra tells her it's her comfort zone. Now she has to break the comfort zone. Tyra says it's about confidence, and Heather needs to realize that she looks stunning straight on. Miss J. says that Heather can be America's Top Profile Model. Jenah's photo is beautiful. Tyra loves that it's strong as opposed to the soft, serene Jenah they're used to seeing. She adds that Jenah needs to be a little more polished when she comes to panel. Oh, give her a break, she's got the weave of death. Benny says that Jenah has a way of exuding sunlight in her face, and he likes the fact that she's beginning to use her body and risk it. What does any of that even mean? Saleisha's picture is good, and Nigel says it could be an ad. Tyra is proud of Saleisha, because she looked more high-fashion and pushed it in terms of her performance. She thinks that being in the bottom two was a wake-up call for Saleisha.
The judges deliberate. Nigel says that from week to week, you want to see progression, and Ebony is changing. Tyra brings up the fact that she's such a weirdo in person, and Nigel says this is the last time they can tell Ebony to be more personable. Miss J. wants to see Chantal less sexy, but Twiggy thinks that in the pictures of the past few weeks, she's looked more pretty and demure. Chantal's photo is one of her favorites of the week. Miss J. still doesn't see Ambreal as a high-fashion model, and Benny starts to vogue just to regain some of his cred. Sarah dropped the ball, according to Nigel, and missed the point. Twiggy thinks that Bianca's photo is beautiful and looks high fashion, and Benny agrees that she sold it. Janet does not look like a model to her, but her face is pretty. Tyra says she looks like Liza, and Benny says that's her personality. It is? Lisa's photo is Twiggy's favorite, and Benny adds that she needs to get some confidence and not let anyone destroy or derail where she's going. Nigel wants to see another side of Heather. Twiggy says that Jenah is extraordinary, but Tyra notes that she comes to judging looking like crap. Again, the weave. I mean, seriously you guys, it's not the girl's fault. Twiggy thinks that Saleisha has the potential of being a top model, and Tyra's happy to see the confidence in her photo.
The girls stand before the panel. Excuse me, the ten beautiful ladies stand before the panel. But Tyra only has nine photos in her hand. The first name she's going to call is...Lisa. Take that, haters! Tyra then calls Bianca, Ebony, Chantal, Jenah, Saleisha, Heather, and Sarah. This leaves Ambreal and, of course, Janet. They're both beautiful, striking women, but are they beautiful, striking models? Well, I mean, no. The girls shine so brightly, but their pictures aren't as strong. Nonetheless, Tyra hands Ambreal a photo, which means that Janet is sent home. Tyra hugs her and says, "I hope you continue to try to model." HA! That was cold. Janet says that the girls were all so cool (again...HA!) and adds that they'll be lost without her, and that Mama Janet has left the building. She says that it's sad, because she's visualized being a part of something like this for so long, and it's always bittersweet when you have to leave. But she thinks there's a place in the fashion industry, and can't wait to see where this takes her. Well, models need ass-waxings too, I guess.
