America’s Next Top Model 3, Episode 6: Who Fingered my Brownies?

Yaya is already dreading this, and doesn’t want to get in the fatigues, while Ann says she can’t wait. As the girls begin the course, I can tell that it doesn’t look like much fun at all. Ann tells the camera that she has always been the best, or one of the best at everything she does, and Yaya agrees by telling the camera that Ann is easily the most competitive girl there. Cassie seems to be doing everything minimally, and complains the whole time, which makes Eva tell the camera that Cassie is a punk. Amanda admits that she wants the Captain to yell at her. Cassie admits that she doesn’t want to be there.

After their drills are over, Eva says that the point was to teach them perseverance and tenacity, and that’s what it did. The Captain tells the girls he will see them all again soon. As the girls head to another location, they walk in and find the Captain waiting for them. He greets them and tells them that they didn’t expect to see him so soon, then informs the girls that for their challenge today, they will have to race to the top of a 14-story high rise. Whoever wins, will be greatly rewarded. Yaya seems confident in the task, and so does Ann, while Cassie just states she doesn’t want to be last.

Eva is the first girl to go, and is followed by the rest. Eva admits that, halfway to the top, she has no breath. Kelle begins to walk and admits that she’s not an athlete. Toccara think she is doing well, and moves fast until about the halfway point. Yaya says she might have slowed down, but she never stopped, while Ann admits that she never fails at anything and always finishes. Cassie states again that she doesn’t want to be last. When Eva reaches the top, she is informed of her time, and told she now has to do a photo shoot. She can’t even breathe and is gagging, but smiles anyway and just goes with it. Kelle follows with her shoot, and as do Cassie and Yaya. Ann worries about the pictures, while Amanda just strolls over and strikes a pose, as does Norelle. Nicole actually looks pretty hot in her shoot, while Toccara tries to say, “No I don’t” when the Captain tells her she has a shoot, which she hates.

The Captain (I feel like I’m talking about Captain Crunch) gathers up all the girls and says he’s proud that nobody quit. Kelle came in last, followed by Norelle, Toccara, Amanda, and Cassie, who is thrilled she wasn’t last. Nicole, Eva, follow, and between Yaya and Ann, Yaya is the winner with a time of 1:10. That’s great! She is allowed to pick one person, and chooses Toccara. They will both receive an evening at Clay spa, being pampered on the roof. The other girls have to walk home! As the ladies get pampered with facials, Eva tells the camera that the person that needed a facial, got one. Eva, you bitch! Yaya tells Toccara that she keeps getting criticized for having dancer poses in her pictures, and is struggling with not being able to show a part of her.

The girls continue to walk home, and Cassie states that New York has disappointed her because it’s dirty and expensive. Kelle is the tour guide from the group, and states that finally it’s something she can do, as she trips on the curb. When the girls finally get home, Cassie says she isn’t feeing the competition right now, and doesn’t want to be there. She feels like her spirit is gone, and cries to her boyfriend on the phone, asking him if he’d be mad if she came home early.

Tyra mail tells the girls that they will get a jump-start to their day at 7:30 and to be ready. As the next day arrives, the girls arrive at the shoot, and are greeted by Jay Manuel, who is standing in front of an airplane. He says that although some of them still have issues posing on the ground, today’s shoot will challenge the girls to pose while in flight. Ann is scared of airplanes and is already shaking.

The girls get their hair and makeup done, and in the middle of it all, Jay takes the girls and tells them that the shoot is for YJ Stinger and energy drink. This will be an action shoot, and the girls will have to jump on a trampoline with the drink while their pictures are being taken. Kelle speaks up and tells Jay that she needs to be told if she is doing something wrong, and not just be told that she is doing well. Jay takes this the wrong way and tells Kelle that he can’t baby her through every frame. Ann tells the camera that Kelle wasn’t asking to be babied, but simply wanted to be told if she was doing something wrong. I agree with Ann. Jay is really becoming a jerk this season, and is starting to think he’s the sh*t. All Kelle wanted to know was the truth – if she was doing good or bad, and for him to not lie to her!

Cassie is the first girl to go, and although the photographer likes her, he wants her to give more variety. Eva goes next, and Jay says she was excited and had energy, but no range. Toccara is up next and her boobs are flopping everywhere, but the photographer likes her a lot. Nicole is next,and looks amazing in her makeup. She admits that the shoot was rough. Norelle goes next, and the photographer calls her bony and scrawny, which makes her have issues with positioning. Kelle is up, and she says the dress they gave her makes her boobs come out – sure enough, out they pop! They have to find Kelle another dress, and when they do, she is finally able to do her thing. She doesn’t look too great though, and Jay feels that she’s too self-conscience about her shots. Kelle starts to cry as she tells the camera that she has nothing positive to go on.

Ann goes next and her dress is very risqué, but she put a lot into her shot. Jay tells her that less is more, and tells the camera that Ann’s shoot is a big flop, and that she scraped her chin and elbow, as he makes fun of the faces she made. I’m so over Jay.
