You know what always bothered me growing up? The kids who got 95% on a test and would be upset because they didn't get a 100%. I secretly think they were complaining because they wanted a discreet way to brag about their grades. Being the mediocre student that I was, I could never feel bad for them, an A is an A. Far better than my B+. Marjorie is like those kids. She complains all the time about her performance and not doing well yet somehow she’s always one of the first names to be called. It's like, get a grip, we know you're pretty but stop fishing for compliments. Props to Samantha for telling her to stop the Debbie Downer business later in the show. I know it's hard to break habits when you've been raised a certain way, but don't use your lifestyle as an excuse for why you cant perform well, get some happy pills pronto.
This week’s competition was kind of strange. The girls were given "cataloguey" outfits and had to make them fit better by using random items found at a construction site. Finally! Proof that the pictures in clothes magazines are in fact not true to life. How many times have I ordered a seemingly cute, fitted dress only to find that it’s actually a tent? Ummmm, about a bazillion. Unfortunately I can't walk around with a paper clip attached to the back to make it snug. Mckey wins and I am happy for that. She's a nice, sweet girl that is likeable. Her prize is extra shots in the photo shoot. Clark, as stunning as she was last week, spends the entire episode being cocky and saying things like "It's lonely being at the top." Wowzers, really? Where is your humility Clark? What do you guys think? Is it better to be overly confident than lack confidence? Which do you think is easier to work on?
The girls return home to Tyra mail that asks the question "Are you a force of nature, a devastating beauty, or a total disaster?" Obviously there is going to be some sort of earthquake/flood/tornado theme going on. I am always impressed that Tyra can come up with new ideas for photo shoots. This being the eleventh season, you would think that they would have to start repeating some themes, but they haven't. You go Tyra. The girls get dressed up in killer mod dresses and are given different sets to use that make them look like giants as they act out certain disasters. What natural disaster would you want to be? I think I would want to be Forest Fire or Typhoon, something totally uncontrollable. It was a typical photo shoot, most of the girls do alright, nothing fantastic but nothing horrible. I wish Sheena would shine a little more, I think she is so pretty. Mckey's heat wave was AWESOME, she really interacted with the set. Samantha looked gorg with her tidal wave moves and I am glad she won. As for Clark...self-confidence is great, but cockiness isn't. She learns that the hard way when she gets the boot. It's a long fall from the top my friend.
XOXO,
JANA
