America has voted, and Aryn is going home. HUH? If it makes you feel any better, the panel is just as shocked as we are, and agree with all of us that Jay should have been the one to get the boot. Meanwhile, back at the house, the remaining contestants discuss which contestant they'd like to see leave, and Ben and Ronnie get offended in Aryn's defense. The contestants are "happy" to see Holly and Jay return, by which I mean they act like assholes until the minute the two walk in the door. This week is all about the body being a work of art, and the contestants are stunned when they walk into an art studio and are confronted with a naked woman serving as an art model. The contestants will be posing nude for ten minutes each. They're all terrified. Some of them are nervous, but most of them seem to do well. Katy is complimented for her fluid body, and she and Holly do well with holding their poses, while Jacki, Jay, and Casey have a bit of a hard time. Meanwhile, Perry and Stephanie are standouts. Ben is worried about his wife -- and especially worried that his friendship with Ronnie is being misunderstood back home. Later, the models must use their art class experience to work together to make pieces of a portrait. They will be photographed together in two groups: all the girls in one group, and all the boys in the other. Each group gets to choose one member of the opposite sex to join them in the shot. The guys choose Shannon, and the girls pick Perry. Before he begins, the photographer tells all the models that if, during the group shot, someone is not cutting the mustard, he will remove that person from the shot and keep shooting without him or her. From the boys' shot, he removes Casey and Jay. For the ladies' shot, however, he is so pleased, he leaves them all in. Their assignment is to be painted head to toe and participate in a living art installation as a group. The installation will be built around a "leading lady," and to decide to gets that role, each girl must try to walk in a pair of spike-heeled toe shoes. Stephanie manages to do it while the others nearly break their ankles. They look really fantastic, all covered in black and sparkles. Back at home, the models have a teacher/schoolgirl night, or something? Frankie raps? I don't know -- the show is not exactly lingering on anything this week. Then the boys go sit alone and compliment each other and talk about how much they love each other, and don't like the girls. The catwalk challenge this week is to wear some crazy Viktor & Rolf and Lacroix creations and work the runway like human statues. They all look great, but Katy gets busted for seeming distracted, and Casey nearly cries when they notice that he seems a little off. They love Holly this week, which is gratifying, and say that Shannon could be doing Paris couture right now. Finally, the bottom three are chosen, and into the pit go Katy (not again!), Jay (yes, again), and Casey (oh no!). Want more? The full recap starts right below!
Last week, Dominic went home, and the models had to get all sexy with each other in a photo shoot. Holly, Aryn, and Jay performed badly, according to the panel, and went up for the vote. It's generally agreed by the entire universe as a whole that Jay should be the one to go. He is very handsome, and maybe would be a great sports model -- or hell, a toothpaste model -- but he's not qualified to be a supermodel, from what I can tell. Of course, the whole idea that there are qualifications to be a supermodel is hilarious, anyway. The bottom three pack up to go face the music. "You better be coming back," Stephanie tells Holly, "or else you're going to see a Stephanie-shaped hole through this window." Aw. Ben and Ronnie tease Aryn about how much they'll miss her -- they're really just kidding, though. "You're not going anywhere," says Ronnie. Meanwhile, Casey asks Jay if he's nervous, and Jay says he's not ready to go. "Don't worry," Casey tells him. "One of the girls will go home." From his bed, Frankie pipes up hopefully: "Holly'll go home, fo' sho." Shut up, frankie, ye who are now so very lower-cased. Oh, how the pretty have fallen. week, I'm going to start chopping letters off your name.
At the panel, Niki gets all serious and tells the bottom three that they have "disappointed us." Dang, Niki. Y'all, they give her the dumbest lines. But, she's so beautiful! And, is it just me, or has she lost at least twenty pounds since this show started? Anyway, Holly's safe, and they don't draw it out any more than necessary -- Aryn's going home. It's an injustice, but you can't blame Jay, you know? He very sincerely wraps Aryn in his arms and tells her not to let this stop her, and to keep going. Well, she has to keep going...straight off the catwalk. The members of the panel are visibly pained to watch her walk away. Backstage, Aryn cries, and tells the cameras that she deserved a chance, and had a lot of potential. "It's hard to hear that America didn't agree," she says, and back up front, the panel echoes this. "Did America make the right vote?" Niki asks, and Jennifer immediately says that she's not so sure. She thinks that Aryn should have stayed and that Jay should have gone. Well, bitches, why did you put Aryn and Holly up against him? They split the ladies' vote, Nader-style!
Back at the house, the waiting models have a totally staged and ridiculous conversation about which contestant they want to see return. Several of them, including frankie, think Jay and Aryn are coming back, for some reason -- meaning that's who they'd like to see come back. Ben kind of crappily says that he'd like to see Holly go home, and Jacki jumps in to compare Holly and Aryn, managing to put them both down. Wow, I don't like Jacki's personality on this show. She talks some smack about Aryn, saying something vague about how Aryn doesn't really want to come back for herself, and that she hasn't been working out as much, or something? She comes off as nothing less than smug, and it pisses off Ben, who sarcastically says that if Jacki would ever speak to Aryn, she'd know how much Aryn wanted to stay. "Well," Jacki shoots back, "I don't sleep with her every day, so I wouldn't know." SNAP. Ben gets serious: "Well, neither do I, so shut your fucking mouth." Jacki remains snitty and tries to laugh it off, but if girl's smart, she would be scared right now. Before it gets ugly, we cut to the triumphantly returning Jay, coming in alone. They all beg to know which girl is with him, but he won't give it up, telling them to guess. "Aryn!" some of them (including frankie), shout hopefully. But, ah, it's Holly. Jay runs out and returns, carrying her on his shoulders, which is cute; frankie, Ben, and Ronnie don't do too well concealing their disappointment. Come on, you jerks, doesn't a supermodel always find a way to be polite? Obviously not. "Sorry man," Ben snarks at frankie, disappointing me down to my soul with his rudeness, and frankie continues to act like an ass, but not nearly as much of an ass as Casey, who eagerly gossips to Jay that all the girls who now seem happy to see Holly were just saying that they wanted her to go home. Dude, shut up. ALL OF YOU SHUT UP. You know which contestants are not talking, and who I love even more for it? Stephanie and Shannon. You know why, probably? They have good parents who told each of them, as they walked out the door to participate in this travesty: "Don't be a BITCH on TV. I mean, wear a thong, pose as a lesbian, whatever, but don't be a bitch." It's a very simple rule.
Outside, Ben and Ronnie interview that they feel guilty for talking Aryn up before she left. Both say that they'll miss her. "All we got is each other now," Ben says, mock-flirtatiously, and Ronnie giggles along. Later, Ben tells Jay how much he wanted to "slap" Jacki for saying that sleeping-together thing about him and Aryn. Jay is amazed, but stays quiet on the issue -- now, Jay can't take a good picture, but he is trying not to embarrass his mama, so he shuts up. See how easy? My favorite part of this conversation is how Ben is complaining about how much "fakeness" there is in the house. Fakeness in a house full of people competing for a job in an industry where one's sole qualification towards success is to...be fake? Yeah, there's a little of that. Ben says some other bullmess about how he and Ronnie were basically "like big brothers" to Aryn, and that she liked to hang out with them and talk. That's probably true, but when I talk to my male friends, I somehow keep myself from lying on top of them. Especially the married ones. When there's a camera around.
The models all load up and head to the famous and fantastic Parsons School for Design. They walk in the door and are immediately confronted with a fully naked woman. Hello, nurse! Much guffawing goes on, since the models are pretty surprised, but they quickly catch on. "I wanna be nude," says frankie, leering at the art model. Well, he's soon to get his chance. Tyson peeks out from behind a screen to explain that this week is "all about the body." The kids will each have to pose nude for an art class, for ten minutes. The biggest deal about it is that they must focus and have good concentration and try not to move at all. They don't seem as nervous about it as I would expect, but hell, who knows? All we get here are quick shots of everyone strategically shielded. "Dude," says Jacki, as they come out in their robes, "we are naked." Katy, for one, is so jittery that she can barely talk, but when it comes time for her to go out, she seems to do it with no problem. The art instructor comments to the camera that, for life-drawing, Katy has a great body. "Now, y'all make me look skinny," she jokes to the students, later adding that she's proud she was able to do it. However, she thinks that Holly might have a problem with the nude thing when it's her turn. This appears to be the case: Holly says she's not even comfortable in a bathing suit. "My fiancé's not even seen me nekkid," she adds, but again, when she gets up there to pose, she seems great. Meanwhile, in the robing room, Ronnie and Casey joke about what they'll say if they become, um, excited during the exercise. "Hey," Casey says, "I'll just say, 'you, in the blue, that one's for you.'"
frankie is so thrilled to be naked, he whips off his robe as soon as he walks in the door, forcing the art instructor to shake hands with a naked man, which is hilarious. We see frankie's naked ass, by the way; we see a lot of naked asses, and I wonder again what sort of deal Bravo has going where they can show asses without getting fined. Seems like Shannon and frankie do all right, but Jay and Casey both get sloppy. Casey, in particular, is very shaky. "It was really difficult for him," says the art guy. Stephanie and Perry, of course, do perfectly, but when Jacki comes out, she's so nervous she breaks out in hives. She pushes through it, though. It seems like a bunch of young people getting naked would create good opportunities for interesting television, and yet...those opportunities do not appear to manifest themselves, because it's not interesting in the least.
Back at the house -- or earlier, who knows? Ben's wearing the same shirt as he was "last night" -- Ben and Ronnie chat. Ben's concerned about his wife, who has apparently lost about fifteen pounds in two weeks, so worried is she about what's going on with Ben in New York. Man, I feel for that poor girl. Because what's going on with him is fucked up. Somehow, this turns quickly into a conversation about Ben and Ronnie's "relationship" and how they both think it's so awesome that they are friends. Ronnie says that if Ben were gay and unmarried, this would be the "perfect equation" for Ronnie, but that he would never cross a line. They move into a completely staged moment about the mutual respect between them. "Some people don't realize that," Ben says, "and it's hard, because we know what's true..." Ben adds that, back home, he's always been seen as a jail guard and a hard-ass, and that this is difficult, because he does love his wife and she's the only one back home who's supporting him right now. Sweet Ronnie says that, you know, actions speak a lot louder than words. That's true, I guess. Unfortunately, he's apparently forgotten that there is a camera around recording his actions, which are edited to speak not only loudly, but lewdly. They cut to him saying something about how he and Ben are going to "work together" and "do it," which makes no sense, and the whole thing only serves to make Ronnie look desperate, and Ben look like he's manipulating everyone's feelings to keep both Ronnie and his wife on the hook. That's hard for me to say, because I like him and I'm sure he's not doing it maliciously, but nonetheless, it looks like that's what's going on.
The day, the models arrive at some cool-looking house to apply the lessons on focus, learned during the art modeling, to a group portrait shoot. Niki tells them to think of this famous Herb Ritts photo to prepare. "They all connected," she says, "and they all connected with the lens as well." So, we think for a moment that they will all be posing nude together, but in fact, that is not the case. In fact, they will be posing together in two groups, fully clothed: all the girls together and all the guys together. The twist is that the boys get to choose one girl to be with them, and the girls can choose likewise. After some hemming and hawing, Ronnie puts in a big vote for Shannon. Casey appears reluctant to agree, but Shannon gets the vote. Meanwhile, on the girls' side, Jacki spitefully suggests that they pick frankie. "No, no, no," says Holly, shaking her head. He's an ass, but he's so pretty, so I worry that Holly is hampering herself, until they decide, as a group, on Perry. You must admit, the man's good. This is all a little ridiculous, seeing as how they haven't even seen each other in the clothes yet, but whatever, it's all about the dramz. Stephanie jokes that the one danger is Perry stealing the show from the girls' shoot, but if he does, she says, they can just kick him out. Ah, but speaking of kicking people out, the photographer has yet another twist to reveal. He really needs them to focus and work together. He may have them posing for a long time, making small adjustments, and if he takes the first picture and sees that it might look better with someone removed, he'll kick that person out of the shot and take it again without him or her. The kids all look mortified at this possibility. Holly rightly says that getting the boot during the photograph would probably land you in the bottom three: "I'm really scared."
The boys, plus Shannon, emerge from wardrobe and makeup looking collectively stunning. They're dressed in really gorgeous 1930s English house party-ish clothes, and pose all folded over each other on a lounge. Slightly amusing? Ronnie's wearing a tam o'shanter and I kind of can't stop laughing about it. Shannon's excited about having been chosen to be in the boys' shoot; every chance she gets to be shot, she says, means more chances she has to get good pictures for her portfolio. Smart girl. Jacki bitches about this backstage.
Jennifer arrives to observe the shoot, and I get cracked up remembering someone's comment on the forum about her resemblance to Janice. Now, Jennifer's very beautiful -- and, my God, the woman's hair is gorgeous -- but now I can't stop looking at her and thinking about how "CHANDLAH is in YEMEN."
Apparently something is "going on" in the shoot that troubles the photographer, and he finally decides to reshoot it without Casey and Jay. They are sitting together, by the way so, way to make Jay feel like he is tainting everyone's chances. Casey says in an interview that people were sitting on his legs and that made him uncomfortable. It really hurts Casey, and it's heartbreaking to see him try to hold it together to shake the photographer's hand. The guy says that Casey was just limited in his facial expressions, and uncomfortable.
It's the girls' turn, and they come in to say hello to the boys and quiz them on the way to their shoot. frankie pompously says that this will be different from "any shoot [they've] ever done." Different from...the whole other three shoots? Okay. Stephanie pulls no punches asking if any of the boys got ejected, and continues to grill Casey and Jay after they admit it, not even bothering to express any sympathy. Even weirder, when the camera turns to Jay, for a split second, he looks really natural and kind of like a supermodel.
Perry, decked out in a white dinner jacket and black tie, sits among the beauties as they loll around looking like they've just danced the Charleston all night after a long day of lawn tennis. Beautiful. All of them look so good in the photo that none gets kicked out, but the photog can't let it go by without a comment that Katy seemed "distracted" between shots. Whatever -- if they'd show some evidence of that, it would be one thing, but a .003-second snip of her glancing to the left does not "distracted" make. He recaps by mentioning the boys' shoot again, saying that once he removed Casey and Jay, the whole thing improved, but when they show the group shot with those guys out, it looks far worse to me than the original did. Ronnie, in particular, is hunched over on the side like he's been thrown off-balance by his natty tam, and is having to use all his focus to keep from o'shantering right to the floor.
Back at the house, the kids come in to find a wall of frames -- mostly blank, but with three filled with shots from the first three weeks: Holly in Times Square; Jacki in the suspension shot; and, nearly making me stroke out with laughter, Perry licking Casey's forehead during the chemistry exercise. I guess these photos represent the "winners" of the first three weeks? Who knows? They have never really explained what being the winner even means. I have almost recovered my wits when Casey says in an interview that he was feeling really bad about being cut from the photo, but coming home to see the picture of him and Perry reminded him that he can succeed. They flash on the photo again, and once again it kills me -- I mean, they look hot, but the hilarity of taking professional pride and waxing fond about a photo of yourself being licked while wearing pink briefs and putting on your "O-face" is really too much. He's just so young, is the thing, and people under twenty should not be allowed to speak on TV.
The morning, the models go to meet Cory at a studio, where he waits with Mary Shook, from Make Up For Ever. Cory's so excited to tell them that their assignment will be to become transformed in full body makeup and work together as a living art installation. As an added bonus, one girl will be chosen to be the leading lady of the thing -- the centerpiece around which the performance art revolves. So, who will it be? Let's see, let's see...should we choose a girl based on her performance ability? Based on her knowledge of art? Based on her physical presence? Based on...anything having to do with art or modeling or acting or this contest? Nah. Instead, we'll make each girl put on these spike-heeled toe shoes and try to walk in them. If only I could find a photo of these damn "shoes." They are an insult to feet, and whatever whore supply warehouse they bought them from does not have them for sale on the internet. Either that, or I don't know what to call them when Googling. For God's sake, don't tell me!
Okay, wait, I just found them. Ballet shoes with heels attached. Please make sure you read the sections on "pain and injury" and "not suited for normal use" OH MY GAAAAAHD! "Furthermore, as mentioned previously, while it is possible to walk up staircases wearing ballet shoes and boots with high heels attached, it is not possible to walk down staircases wearing them. One can easily fall down with serious injury and, possibly, break her neck. So, the use of ballet shoes and boots with high heels attached is usually limited to BDSM scenes or under BDSM conditions." Lord, please help me. Under BDSM Conditions. That's what happens after the President declares martial law. I have found a few places for you to purchase this fine footwear, but Heaven help you if you click any of these links at work, so just Google "extreme high heel ballet" and may God have mercy on your soul. Listen, am I the only one who did not know about fetish ballet shoes? Thank you for keeping them from me all this time. I just watched a Danish woman on YouTube ride a scooter in high heels and a black patent dress...I don't even know if I'm awake anymore.
So, what was I saying? Ah, yes. Each of the girls must try to walk in these ridiculous shoes. The only one who can do it without nearly breaking an ankle is Stephanie. She is very excited to be queen bee of this project, since she is an art student, and art is her "thing." I like Stephanie, but sometimes her speaking voice sounds a little slurry, and I ain't feeling it. Of course, I prefer to hear her talk more than I do Jacki, who is aggressive about everything she says. All the kids come out to get painted up with pitch black paint and get diamond-ish stones placed on their naked selves, along with various weird props. Jay, wearing a headpiece that's more like a headbush, says in an interview that this is his opportunity to show the panel that he will do anything to stay. Except, in the interview, you cannot see his face at all. It's just this mass of leaves speaking plaintively, as in the Book of Exodus to Moses in the wilderness. I hope that was a little funny moment for the cameras and that Jay was in on it, because it's the biggest laugh I've had in these four weeks.
I wish they had shown more of the makeup time, because the models as finished products are pretty amazing. Stephanie comes out first with a huge cape and some crazy platform shoes. It's stupid that she has to walk down a flight of stairs to get to the floor where they are performing, but she handles it as well as can be expected, really. Who even knows if they had any time to rehearse? Each model then emerges through the same door and goes to hide under Stephanie's cape. They all look incredible, though a few are a little nervous about wearing nothing but a g-string and body paint. However, Ben points out that the paint makes you kind of feel like you're wearing clothes, so you can forget that you're basically nude in front of an entire gallery of people. After they all manage to make it to Stephanie without falling down the steps, they strike various poses and then leave with veils over their faces? I know it's art, but throw us a bone here, people -- they say nothing about the concept or what it might mean. Mary the makeup lady says that everyone did very well, especially Stephanie, but that her bottom two are Ben and Katy, who were a bit stiff in the beginning.
That night, the models have a house party with the theme "Professors and College Girls." I...don't know. It's so cheesy, but it's quite cute. I mean, it makes no sense, but Perry makes me laugh, dressed in his beret and painted mustache, playing the acting coach. Casey with wild hair, is the wacky science teacher. Jay, in an awful gold suit, is the African-American History teacher. That young man is a great sport, honestly. And frankie, Perry says, "is the washed-up, wannabe, has-been, never-made-it-before Rock And Roll History teacher." The girls all get dressed up as slutty coeds and laugh and laugh at the boys attempting to "teach them lessons," mostly consisting of squeezing their knees and saying "about your grade..."
Mostly, the party seems to be an excuse for the boys to go off in a room together and talk about how fantastic they are, and how girls are stupid. frankie, um, raps? Yes. Ben looks on in mild surprise as frankie "spits" that all of them are "boys for life." Siiiiiigh. Perry gets on my nerves for the first time in weeks as he enumerates frankie's many attributes. "If the Earth were made over," he says, "like, frankie would be the meteor that hit it." He says that people mistake frankie's confidence for cockiness, but that that those people are jus' jellus. There's a moment here where frankie looks kind of humbled by the compliments, but naturally, he ruins it. "There's two rules in life," he says, and I hope for his sake he's drunk. "One is, to never sweat the small things, and the second is that everything's a small thing." Oh, people. You know that's the only book he's ever read. It gets even more awkward when they move on to Casey, who they say is a huge talent and very spiritual in nature, but Perry interrupts. He just wants them to know that they're his boys and that he doesn't really care about the girls; he loves them all and this is like a fraternity. "Except, like," Casey jokes, "really, really good-looking." Dudes, you are such...women.
The day (there are so many damn segments in this ep!), the models meet Niki backstage at the catwalk. This week's assignment will be to draw upon what they've learned in their other projects and carry themselves down the runway as if they were living pieces of sculpture, while wearing Lacroix or Viktor & Rolf designs. frankie is out first in a, well, it's a dress, but I must say he rocks it. He acknowledges the challenge of making it look masculine, and does a good job. Speaking of rocking it, Holly is en fuego in a black and red creation seemingly made of film strips. She looks as high-fashion as possible. In an interview, she says she feels revived. Katy doesn't do so hot, though we hear in an interview that she had a lot of fun on the catwalk. Her dress is less than flattering and her poses aren't very convincing. Casey looks cool, but his face betrays his nerves, I think. Meanwhile, Ronnie and Shannon look awesome, and Jay looks a little awkward, but better. Stephanie says that her knowledge of art helped her in all her challenges this week, but nothing can help the silver leotard she's wearing, I'm sorry. Also not happening is Ben's ensemble: a camo jacket that looks like someone has stuffed newspaper into the sleeves. He still seems kind of stiff, and the crazy outfit doesn't help. Jacki looks good, blah blah, as does Perry, who steps onto the runway and strikes a pose with both arms extended so to show off the panels of his tunic.
And now time for the cringe-worthy Q&A. I hate this part. They ask Katy how she felt in the dress, and she says that it was constricting at the bottom, but that she tried to be graceful. Cory says that her walk was good, but her poses were bad -- particularly her final pose, in which she was the only model to turn her back on the panel. Instead of saying she did that on purpose -- maybe to differentiate herself or show the back of the dress -- she admits that she wasn't thinking. Ugh! Work with me, Katy: you need to sell yourself better. Jennifer twists the knife, and saying they often hear that Katy's distracted. Niki moves on to Ben and says that his catwalk was better. Jenn, however, quickly points out that the feedback from the art show was that he was nervous and looked uncomfortable. He admits that he didn't find the exercise relevant and that he was not at all comfortable during the drawing class. My goodness, this is excruciatingly boring. Cory says that when Perry first raised his arms at the end of the catwalk, he wondered what was going on. "But then it occurred to me," Cory says in such serious tones it makes me roll my eyes, "'he's doing his job. He's showing the garment.'" Perry smiles, knowing he's awesome. Niki asks Stephanie, since this was her week with all the art stuff, what will happen week if the theme is something she's not into. The way it's edited, Stephanie doesn't answer the question at all, instead rambling on that she's like, an artist and like, can't believe she got to show it.
Time to rip on Jay. Niki asks him how it felt to get dismissed from the photo. He says that he'd like to have known the reasons for being asked to leave, but that he decided just to move on and stay positive. Jennifer gets kind of mean with him, saying she knows that he's trying hard, but that they're still not getting good feedback from photographers. She suggests that maybe Jay's just not photogenic: "There are some amazing-looking people out there who are just not supposed to be models." Jay's face says it all: "Biiiiitch." Casey, too, got dumped out of the photo shoot, and when trying to express his feelings about it, he gets really sad. Niki and Jennifer both give him the mother eyes when he explains that this week has just been hard for him -- he got thrown off when he was removed from the photo. Cory tells him that he has such a beautiful face, and that that is very rare. It's weird, he adds, that Casey was so comfortable with the chemistry-head-licking shoot, but not with this one. Y'all, Casey almost cries and I want to kidnap him and take him away from the meanies.
Blarrrgh. Is this part still going on? Yes. Niki says that Holly had a bad week last week, but that this week she ruled, especially on the catwalk. Cory is highly complimentary of her high-editorial pose at the end with the hunched shoulders/hand on waist. "It was perfection," he says, to her great delight, and Holly says that this style of modeling is exactly what she wants to do.
The panel goes into their private discussion and...they say the same old stuff. Stephanie's good. Katy gets distracted (though kudos to her in the photo shoot). Jay's not photogenic. Ben seems uncomfortable with himself, though Tyson says that they can fix it. Perry is awesome. "If I was a girl," Tyson says, "I'd date him." Heee. They love Holly again. Casey fell apart a little. Shannon gets better and better. "She could be doing Paris couture right now," says Jenn. If Shannon heard that from backstage, I hope she jumped in a cab and went straight to Paris.
It's time for the panel to bring out the top three and bottom four and once again force Niki to repeat everything she just got finished saying twice over. Stephanie wins the week, and she, Holly, and Shannon are dismissed as safe. Katy's face shows that she knows she's going down again. Along with her, Ben, Casey, and Jay remain. This week, Ben's safe, and Casey, Katy, and Jay are in the hopper. If Casey gets sent home, it will be a crime, and now I've decided I like Jay and want him to stay in to spite the Jennifer lady. And, of course, I still love Katy, so this episode will be painful, indeed, because someone has to go.
