America's Next Top Model 4, Episode 4: You Look Fine, What’s Your Sign?

Here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Brandy is the last girl to go. She asks the photographer “Should I look fierce?” and he looks at her like she has six heads. As I’m sure you can imagine, he gives her a hard time, and Brandy says that’s hard for her to hide her emotions – and it shows. Brandy hates to be associated with anger, but knows that the judges see her that way, and is trying to change.

Back at the holding room, Brandy comments that Tatiana always manages to make snide remarks. Apparently, Tatiana makes fun of Brandy, who starts screaming ant shouting back at her that “She doesn’t know her.” Oh dear, I feel like I’m on Maury. Naima says that Brandy looks for excuses to be mad, as Brandy tells Tatiana that she would be “toe up” if she wouldn’t be eliminated for hitting someone. I’m loving this. Christina thinks there is going to be a fight. Brandy seriously needs to curb it.

Apparently, the fight finally ends. The girls head to the court where they find Jay Manuel with the photographer. He tells them that this was their challenge. He has been watching them the whole time, and Kahlen says that you “Just don’t do that to people.” I don’t understand… what did he do that was so wrong? Jay says that the winner will get to go to dinner with someone special, and the photographer gets to pick the winner. He says that he picks Naima, and she gets to pick two people to join her. Naima goes with Tiffany and Kahlen. I’m not sure if I like Kahlen or dislike her. The first person to email me and tell me if I like or dislike her will win.

The girls arrive at the restaurant, and as they are sitting down, in comes Serena Williams! She gives Naima a signed racquet. Serena tells them all how beautiful they are, as Tiffany says that she wasn’t sure if she would get along with Serena or not. Serena informs them that she has her own clothing line, and then has them walk for her. She seems to like everyone’s walk, as Tiffany says that she likes Serena and she is glad that she met her.

The girls get their next piece of Tyra mail, and it tells them that lions roar, so get ready to soar. I don’t get it. Michelle is ready to fly up in the air. I’m sure she is. Later, the girls arrive at their shoot. Since there are 12 of them left, they will each represent a sign of the Zodiac. Not only that, but it will be made into a calendar! There will be a stunt coordinator on hand to help them, since they will be lifted into the air for this shoot. Sounds interesting!

The first girl up is Naima, and she is Capricorn, the goat. Jay thought that being a dancer, she would have better movement. I’m a Naima fan, but I don’t think this was the shoot for her. Kahlen is Aires, the ram. She looks great, but has some problems with balance. Noelle is up next, and she is Leo, the lion. I like the makeup, but I don’t think she was very flexible for the shoot. Neither does Jay.

Keenyah is the next girl to go, and she is Taurus, the bull. Everything looks good. Brittany is Sagittarius, and after she is finished, Jay tells her that there was nothing hootchie about her shot. That’s always a good thing.

Okay, let me start by saying that I love Tiffany. This is now my favorite part of this episode. Tiffany says to Brandy, in these exact words: “I’m Cancer, why I gotta be a skrimp?” Brandy replies “I wish I was a skrimp!” Could someone clarify what a skrimp is to me? I almost died! Anyway, Tiffany is the next to get her shot done, and she realizes she is a crab, not a “skrimp.” She’s very concentrated during her shoot, and Jay thinks she is making leaps and bounds. Christina goes next, and she is Libra, representing scales. I’m not a fan of her get-up. Tatiana is Gemini, and since I’m a Gemini, I hope she doesn’t get eliminated. Is that wrong?

Brandy is now getting upset because she doesn’t think the photographer knows what to do with her hair since it’s so short. Uh-oh, she’s getting impatient! Rebecca goes next though, and she’s Virgo, the virgin. She doesn’t look like a virgin. Michelle represents Aquarius and it seems like everyone loves her shot, including me! Lluvy is supposed to be Pisces, the fish. It’s not pretty, and I’ll leave it at that.

In the holding room, Tiffany tells the camera that Brandy has a right to get upset. When you are around girls that have a big mouth, like Tatiana, you are going to get upset. She feels that Brandy is sweet most of the time, but only has an attitude when she feels like someone is attacking her. At this point, we see Brandy taking her photo as Scorpio, the scorpion. I love her makeup. Jay wants more from her though. As Brandy finishes, she heads to the holding room, knowing that people are talking about her.

Fighting erupts in the back room with Tatiana and Brandy again. Naima knows that it’s petty to be fighting, as Tiffany comes to Brandy’s defense. She feels that she has to protect Brandy, and won’t let people to continue to come at her with negativity. Tatiana proclaims that it’s over, as Tiffany says that she has a new strategy, and it revolves around her being herself, so people can take it or leave it. Naima seems to respect this, and tells the camera that Tiffany can be very motherly at times. The girls get Tyra mail and it says someone is going home tomorrow. Brandy just knows that with so few girls left, the fakeness will show.
