America’s Next Top Model 18, Episode 5: “Nailed That and a Bag of Chips!”

It’s Kyle’s turn and she has found her motivation! It is a competition and she is ready to go! Looks like Kyle will not be leaving on her own accord anytime soon. Jay tells her good job and moves on to AzMarie. The other models want to be AzMarie so badly, telling us that she nailed her shoot in just seven shots. Good for Az!

Seymone is next up. Jay looks at the photo and says, “Nailed that and a bag of chips!” Jay even says today was her best shot. Eboni is next up and doesn’t take any advice from Jay as usual, but still has a great shoot. In Jay’s words, that’s a wrap!

The models head back to LA for panel. After introducing the judges, including guest judge Beverly Johnson, and reminding the contestants what they will receive if they win, it’s time to start. First up are the Brits, starting with Alisha. Kelly tells Alisha there is a true super model living in her, but unfortunately, things are not connecting. Sophie walks to the panel next. Sophie’s eyes are what draws Nigel in and is what tells the story. Beverly also loves the high fashion look of her photo.

Catharine recaps her work in Toronto, saying she booked no runway gigs. After her tears, her best shot is shown and, for Nigel, it is his favorite shot he’s seen so far. Tyra says she was “smizing. Ashley is next up to see her best shot. Unfortunately, “fear” comes through for Nigel and Kelly even tells Ashley she has lost herself. Last up for the Brits, Annaliese’s “dinosauristic” photo earns praise and she is even compared to Beverly Johnson.

For Team USA, Laura is first up to hear from Tyra. “Beautiful” and “stunning” are two words used by Nigel to describe Laura’s photo. Laura finally opens up about her best friend dying in a motorcycle accident before the show and says she channeled that emotion into her photo shoot. Kyle is up next and Beverly tells her that her eyes are extraordinary. AzMarie hears “hot” from Beverly and all the judges simply LOVE her photo.

Nigel tells Seymone that this is truly the best shot out of all the photos. Eboni is also told her photo is gorgeous. Tyra even tells her that the photo is slamming.

The judges then deliberate about who should stay and who should go… Honestly, I am always a bit confused why they spend time “deliberating” and showing us the footage. They say the same things they already told the models…

Anyway, the 10 beautiful models are brought back to the runway, with Tyra holding the nine photos of the girls who will continue. The winner of the “Best Photo” for this week is…

Eboni! Good for her!

Runner up for “Best Photo” is AzMarie. AzMarie is definitely a frontrunner in this competition. The order for the other models safe is as follows: Sophie, Seymone, Laura, and Kyle, leaving four Brits waiting for pictures.

Alisha and Annaliese are called and sent through to the next round. Catharine and Ashley step up to hear from Tyra who stays and who goes. Tyra recaps the performances from the two girls. They both booked zero castings. However, Catharine’s photo made up for it, leaving Ashley heading home – tonight. For Tyra, if Catharine felt as good about herself as she looks, she would have booked some jobs.

Tyra says goodbye to Ashley, telling Ashley she should become a presenter because she has an amazing personality. Ashley is both happy and sad, having learned so much about herself throughout this competition.

We say goodbye to Ashley and prepare for another week of model mayhem! The models get to shoot a music video next week! As for now, that’s a wrap!
