This week, the models are still in Greece, and are still thinking that Top Model will finally change their lives this time around! Remember the winner of season 10? How about season 15? Neither do I, so good luck, ladies!
The ladies’ first challenge this week is to write a blog, part of their winning package. Nigel comes to tell the girls that they are going to be judged by the editor of Vogue Italia. Her eyes must be bleeding and her magazine must seriously be hurting. The girls have to pick an outfit and take photographs of themselves for the blog.
Oh, how much do I want to read these!
The next twist is insanely horrifying to me. Tyra Banks has written a New York Times bestselling book called Modelland. She’s been working on it for the last four to five years. Everyone needs to read this. Where does Tyra find the time? Or the newfound control over the English language?
The girls are going to pose for a motion editorial based on Tyra’s book. They are going to shoot for two days—and the pictures will be used for two weeks of judging. The girls have to pose as cats, squirt whipped cream into their mouths and be other incarnations of crazy as imagined from the mind of the genius.
Nigel returns to the house in Greece to tell the girls who won the blog challenge, and the travel vacation back to Greece with a family. The editor apparently liked them all, which is totally boring to hear, but, of course, there can only be one winner. It’s Angelea, who we learn is attending broadcast journalism at home, playing into her claim for (hometown) fame.
On the second day, Tyson Beckford returns to pose with the girls for the Modelland shoot. He is a well-known supermodel, but I only remember him from when he was on this show before. Right? We don’t want the girls on this shoot, really, we just want T-Y-R-A who looks fierce in a pink cat suit and yellow eye shadow.
I hate to say it, but the video product is really cool and scary at the same time. There is weird music, and models in long flowing dresses, and yelling and music like you’re drunk in a club somewhere. It’s trippy, man. But then it gets stupid when they have to whisper the lead character Tookie’s name.
Best photo goes to Lisa, who is wearing neon green spandex pants. Unusual. Sweet Laura is sent back to the farm.
