And a bigger crop of mediocrity has yet to be seen. Wow, what planet did i descend from to think that you at least had to be pretty to be a model?
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!
Back by popular demand (ok, like 3 people asked about them)... Cycle Six recaps will be on and poppin' every Tuesday (or so).
Anyway, enough of me jerking myself off... i watched the premiere with Boyfriend. (hold the applause, details later.) I was trying to explain to him how important it was that I watch the show, even though I know who the final 13 were. He didn't understand. I told him that Tyra is evil and she has us all in her evil grasp. I'm forced to watch. And therefore, so is he.
Just a quick blurb about the 12 that are on tonight before I recap the show. BTW - the makeover shows are my absolute favorite shows to watch. A new surprise every time!
Furonda - out the gate she was a favorite. Why? because she is so fabulously ghetto. Her favorite show is Being Bobby Brown and her favorite food is corn. That's right corn. Not corn on the cob, not corn pudding, not arroz corn pollo, just fucking corn. How fabulous is that? Once I saw her in full glory... well not so cute. Her skin resembles the potholes on my lawn and if she don't relax and brush down the back of her head, she betta.
Jade - Because we're all diverse and shit, I pegged Jade as one who would take home the prize. Three white girls and two black(ish) girls means it's time for a mutt or some other ethnicity to win. She actually looked pretty striking in her photo. Once on the show... well Jade is about the biggest insecure bitch, well ever. Her myspace page indicates that we should have recognized her from Jay-Z's Change Clothes video and BET's Rip the Runway. Seeing as Rip the Runway was a pretty recent event, Jade's ass is gonna be sent packing pretty soon. BTW - Still laughing hysterically from Jade's misguided notion that anyone should recognize her senior citizen ass.
Wendy - Poor Wendy. She tried out like 4 times and finally God and George W. Bush intervened on her behalf. Send in Hurricane Katrina and poor Wendy is finally worth being exploited by Tyra Banks. Sad. Wendy's nose is so damn large, i can see it from my bedroom window. Not cute.
Nnenna - will also be referred to a Nnnnnnennnnna or NNNNNNenna or whenever i get tired of typing N's. I love her. She should win but she probably won't. She's tragic too, with all the momma dying and being sent from Nigeria and the dad not wanting her to model. Watch for the subplot exploitation. Tyra will probably fly the whole family over from Africa and give them Kia Rio's or something. She so wants to be Oprah. And it ain't happening.
Danielle - I'm not sure what's worse, the huge gap between her fronts or the mustache she so proudly sports. Her photos are actually pretty striking and she has that "i'll kick your ass" air to her. I'm leaving her alone cuz I wasn't actually raised in the projects, I just act like it.
Gina - Not. Pretty. At. All. How in the name of beejeesus did they find the most awkward looking asian girl out there?
Kari, Brooke, Joanie, Sara and Mollie Sue - All interchangable white girls. It may go down to the wire but i don't think any of them are winners.
Leslie - a so-called chameleon. So far the only thing she's changed into is a smooth magazine cover girl. Has a really corny tattoo that she copied from Angelina Jolie.
On to the show!
Well jade takes center stage and immediately begins being a know it all bitch. Never fear. Furonda has promised to put the smack down is Jade gets rowdy with her. We see Wendy and she begins crying immediately and more talk about Katrina .
We break to the salon and Miss Jay has tricolor damn sponge rollers in her hair. Tyra is waaaaayyyyyy too happy to tell these chicks about how they are gonna be tore up from the floor up. Jade makes a comment that hair is where it is at in the modeling world. So i'm pretty damn thrilled to here they are cutting her hair and dyeing it. So far I am not impressed with the so-called make overs. They shaved Nnnnnnnennnnna bald and wow, she still looks pretty fantastic. Most of the chicks got weaves and extensions and Mr. Jay is blowing smoke up all their asses telling them about their personal styles. Shit like hip hop glam and all american chic and simplistic chic. How about shabby chic because this is the sorriest bunch of females assembled outside of a pissy project hallway.
Jade is going on and on and on and on about how she doesn't like her makeover. She actually said the judges are trying to make it harder for her because they know she is something special. LOL. Please, my friends, check back in your mental rolodexes and remember that each broad that complained about her makeover was given the boot. Jade doesn't have long to annoy the fuck out of me.
Oh shit! Furonda has tips for personal interaction!!!! I need for UPN to post those tips somewhere. Some of the rules are "unless it is an emergency item, please don't ask me for anything" and "the best person to talk about me is with me" LOL. Furonda's weave has given her a Beyonce type complex. She is now the shit and all other girls must vacate the group - and 5 out of 5 people disagree. Whatever.
The girls are on their way to a fashion show to pick out an outfit that matches their aformentioned bullshit style. Gay Jay is challenging them to pick their outfit and they have to travel to see Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist. They have 15 minutes to do hair, makeup and dress. They are advised by Naima, one of the most UNremarkable top models to date. Jade is bitching about not being able to find makeup to match her skin tone. Waaah Waaah Waah. Well the winner gets a $5000 shopping spree... and it is the lovely Nnnnnnnennnnna! Yeah!
Awww, man... they are in Nanette Lepore! Why not me, Lord!!!!
Jade ain't trying to do a phone check, bitch is she? Then she sits there and tells the girls that she is the undiscovered top model. She is so great and everyone else sucks. So she gets funky on Furonda and tells her she looks a fool with her broke ass crown and then calls Wendy J. Lo. Wow... she really meant it when she said that this isn't America's Next Top Best Friend. Corny ass broad. I wish she would... I see Furonda didn't take her on. She betta not snap on Danielle. That girl looks like she'd rather cut a nigga than look at her.
Tyra mail!!! And the challenge clue is: Don't blow your cover. Ummmm, what the fuck does that mean?
Oh, ok. They about to make these heffas pose on ice. LOL. They are cold already and they just walked in the building. Wow it's 20 degrees and they got these chicks half naked. Good Lawd! Again, these are the most unappealing model wannabes ever. It's funny how Jade had a totally shitty shoot, but she leapt to criticize Furonda. Ugh. I hope they send Jade home TOday.
Newsflash: My sister just informed me that Jamie Foxx has a video for DJ Play a Love Song. That is my shit!!! Now I have to stalk MTV Jams and VH1 Soul to catch it "b-b-b-b-b-beat it, beat it!"
Judging. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Tyra gets more bullshit as the cycles progress.
Jade is... oh my God...she is unbelievable. She's not getting along with the girls in the house, her eyes are too squinty, the makeup is too heavy, she's so strong and such a threat. I would have been hard pressed if I were a judge, not to fling my shoe at her big alien head. Nigel (we love Nigel) told her to shut the hell up and leave her baggage outside of judging. Yeah, Nigel!
OK - We're back and Tyra has on her serious face and she is speaking in her serious voice. She's slowly but surely counting 'em down... who's gonna be left standing there? Hmmm... Wendy and Jade.
Wendy's out. How fucked up is that? Her parents may still be sleeping in their car after the hurricane! (i know, boo to me!)
