America’s Next Top Model 7, Episode 4: Step Right Up, Folks!

Eugena won the challenge and is congratulated. Tyra says that she’d buy the feather and nose that Eugena wore, and she sold it and looked fabulous. It totally worked.

Brooke as the rubber girl could have showed more proportion. She did great with the body, but it was the face that let the judges down. She just can’t seem to land the face.

The twins look great and Twiggy loves their photo. Tyra tells Amanda that she had some light issues and really needs to be aware as to where the light is shining. Michelle gets no criticism or compliments, from what we are shown.

Anchal, as usual, is told that she looks beautiful. She appears to be a small giant, but looks great. I’m so sick of everyone having to constantly tell Anchal how great she looks. We get it! She gets it! Everyone gets it! Ugh!

Jaeda’s picture isn’t very well-received. Tyra says that maybe she looks a little too strong and showed too much bad acting in the face. She comes across as “snarly,” says Twiggy.

Melrose steps forward next and her picture is universally loved as always. She’s totally going to get to the final three, I can feel it. Nigel likes it, even though it’s disturbing.

Right away Nigel asks Megg if something is wrong. They look at her photo and it’s really terrible. Megg says she is scared and knows she is capable of so much better than that. She hates the photo, and with good reason!

CariDee is last, and right when she steps forward, Tyra tells her she looks chic. They love her body language in her photo this week and really feel that she modeled the elephant nose amazingly. Now it’s time to deliberate, and as the girls head out, we see Megg still whimpering.

The judges deliberate and have this to say about each of the girls: Melrose is loved this week, and everyone feels that she worked the “ugly face.” Brooke is sweet, and you just want to put her on a cupcake, but she really does have issues delivering in the face. Eugena was dead for most of her photos and pulled out one lucky shot that looks amazing. A.J. is in and has really been bringing “model” to her photos. She’s the only girl that came off as “high fashion” for this shoot.

Megg was a disaster. The judges love her personality but don’t feel like she has turned in one “amazing” photo yet. Amanda and Michelle are allegedly judged separately, but the judges still talk about them as one, saying Amanda has a quirkiness that they all like and Michelle really knows how to work her angles. Anchal is beautiful (rolling eyes) but Twiggy doesn’t think she’s a model. She just doesn’t see it.

CariDee had the best shot this week, to Twiggy, and all the judges throw some praise her way. I have to admit, CariDee is definitely one of my favorites this season, right next to Brooke. Finally, the judges feel that Jaeda had to be pushed too much. However, the funniest is that Twiggy says she was scared of Jaeda’s abs in her photo this week, not realizing that they were airbrushed on. Thank goodness Tyra let her in on the secret!

The girls walk back in. Tyra says that she has ten girls in front of her, but only nine photos, and the first name she’s going to call is… CariDee! She is followed by Eugena, A.J., Melrose, Michelle, Anchal, Amanda, and then Brooke.

Jaeda and Megg step forward. Tyra only has one photo left. The judges see potential in both of them. Megg has a magic about her that just won’t come through in her pictures, while Jaeda has had the biggest transformation in terms of makeover but still hasn’t learned how to work her look. They both have the goods, but neither of them is bringing the goods to their photo shoots. However, one girl is going to be given another chance, and that girl is… Jaeda!

Before Megg leaves, she thanks the judges for the opportunity and says she’ll become stronger because of this. She gives the girls their hugs and gives a hug to Tyra, telling the camera that she is going to miss the other girls. However, now she wants to go home, start a two-person band, and be a musician/model. Even though she didn’t win, the experience is good enough.

Next week, Michelle figures out that she’s not receiving enough camera time and decides to tell some of the other girls in the house that she “might be gay.” Oh, geez. Also, Janice is back, and it looks like the girls will be giving her an interview, and someone ticks her off. It appears to be Brooke, but you never know!

I’ve been on a roll this season. I pegged Megg as the next to go and said Brooke would be in the bottom two with her. Brooke was in the bottom three this week, so I wasn’t far off at all and pegged the girl that went home. Here’s how I see it shaping up for next week:

A.J.
CariDee
Melrose
Michelle
Anchal
Amanda
Eugena
Jaeda
Brooke
