America’s Next Top Model 4, Episode 6: Brittany Gets Blotto

Christina makes a pretty big fumble when she points to a picture and says she doesn’t know who the girl is – it’s Kiara, the girl who greeted her when she walked into the party. Kahlen talks about when her sister draws on her face, and while Tatiana is nervous, Tiffany stays fully away from the other party guests and just looks at the makeup. Lluvy says she was her usual goofy self. Michelle is worried that her skin still looks a little bad. Jay pulls all the girls aside and informs them that it wasn’t just a normal party, but a challenge as well, with secret judges. He has notes from the judges on each girl.

The judges felt that Tiffany was glued to the product and that Kahlen had a very unique look. Naima was a bit too quiet, and Keenyah came off poised and confident. Christina wasn’t paying attention, and Tatiana was very secretive. Lluvy was eloquent and aware of her features, and Rebecca has a great body. Brittany was worried more about the drinking than the party, and Michelle didn’t look very comfortable at all. All that being said, the winner will get to pick one friend and spend the night at a hotel on the beach. The judges choose Keenyah as the winner. Yay, I love Keenyah! They felt she is the girl who most looks like a Cover Girl. She picks Brittany to join her, and Tiffany tells the camera that maybe Keenyah needs or wants a big sister, but they should be cut together.

The two girls arrive in their room and find all this food and wine; it looks like they are getting the VIP treatment. The other girls arrive back at the loft and find Tyra Mail. It tells them to be ready at 6:30 a.m. Nobody seems happy about the early wake-up call. Keenyah and Brittany have Tyra Mail as well which tells them to enjoy their reward; as an added bonus, they can be “fashionably late” for the shoot tomorrow, which thrills them both since they are sick of getting up early.

Back at the loft, Lluvy says that she feels close to the other girls, but still feels lonely sometimes. She doesn’t think she is beautiful, but does feel that she is unique, and tells this to her boyfriend on the phone. However, she got a lot of good compliments at the party, and she is going to take them and run with them. She’s really starting to grow on me. Her pictures are her biggest fault right now, so that’s what she needs to work on.

In the morning, the girls wake up and head for their shoot. Brittany and Keenyah get up a little later and have breakfast in bed, toasting to many more of the same. The other girls are now driving in the middle of nowhere and arrive at their shoot site. Jay Manuel welcomes them and tells them that the scorching heat will not be the only element they have to deal with today, as a wind machine and rain machine are rolled in. All these things will be combined for a hot and sultry shoot, with the look being a sexy greased-up mechanic. Ooh, kinky! The photographer for the girls is Mathu, and I’m assuming it’s spelled that way because he’s gay. He normally does the girl’s makeup, but he’s also a photographer. The two girls at the hotel are now getting massages and are happy that they get to be late for the shoot.

All the girls at the shoot are changing. Jay decides to put a second girl in the background to make it even more dynamic. How does that make it more dynamic? She’s just sitting in a truck in the background. I REALLY hate Jay Manuel.

Kahlen is the first to go and says that the shoot is a bit extreme, but that’s the job. It’s hard for her to pose and she says the water is very cold. Tiffany goes next, and Mathu says that she nailed it with her poses, although she hated the water. Christina is next and says she think she worked the tire. At this point, Brittany and Keenyah are playing in the ocean since Brittany has never been to California.

Michelle is the next girl to do her shoot, and she is told that she’s being too timid. Jay tells her to have more energy next time, and she walks away feeling worried. Naima follows and says she has to put the competition out of her mind if she wants to succeed. She does very well as usual. Love her! Rebecca is the next to go and just says she doesn’t want to crash and burn. Mathu says that Rebecca has a very safe look going for her. Tatiana is up next, and she looks HOT. Jay even notes that she surprised him. Lluvy is the next girl to go, and Jay tells her to show more energy. She does her shoot, and I’m not sure how the judges will feel about it. Jay just remarks that Lluvy's shoot is “interesting.”

Keenyah and Brittany finally arrive, and Tiffany tells them that they are going to freeze. Keenyah says that everyone is all mad, while she and Brittany are relaxed. Keenyah goes first, and Jay says she did a good job, but she was moving way too fast. Brittany is the last to go, and she says that she doesn’t want to overdo the whole thing since she knows her sexuality is an issue. Jay says that she is very much like an early Janice Dickinson.
