Also, how do you say Katarzyna? I've "Kat-r-gena" and K-TAR-zena"!

Well, the way she pronounced it herself in the first episode was like Katarina (as in Katarina Witt, remember her? she had the biggest rack for a figure skater), but you throw in that "zh" sound just after the "r".

Kat-er-ZHEE-na!

It doesnt matter...even if she wins, noone will care 5 minutes after.

I remember Katerina Witt (pronounced Vit) very well. The battle of the Carmens with Debbie Thomas - I was crushed!

I always wondered if the force from the high-velocity spinning of those gigantic breasts created its own gravitational field. I mean, every time I watched her skate, I just knew she was going to fall from trying to heave those things around in all her jumps, but she rarely ever did. For that, she deserved a medal.

Catarrh (pronounced /kəˈtɑr/) is a discharge or mucus blockage caused by the swelling of the mucous membranes.

I didn't care for the whining about her dried up milk ducts, but I thoiught Claire had the most beautiful face. Hated the haircut, though, and I agree it was a bad makeover.

"She could have been the next Shandi, but Shandi caught on rather quickly when it came to her walk."

For shame! There will never be another Shandi!

Haha, blueroses. That was a good moment.

I like Lauren, I don't know why, she's kind of like the underdog. And her look reminds me a bit of Martha Plimpton, who I love. But I doubt she hasn't been practicing, though it does make me wonder. Someone who has that bad a walk must practice. I'm hoping they just haven't chosen to edit it in to the program. I don't think it'd matter either way; she's not getting any better.

I still don't get Anya's accent. But I like her!
Fatima is bitchy and condescending. I'm not a fan of her attitude, though she takes good pictures and will go far.
Whitney can be bitchy but it's great to see a normal sized person doing well.
It's unfortunate that Katarzyna's name is still being mispronounced. That should be kind of a priority for Tyra; she show is clearly a shrine to her, she should try not to look like an ass. At least not for being unable to pronounce a name. They should just shorten it to "Kat;" they can't mess that up.

Does the CW put full episodes online of Top Model? If they do, I can't seem to find it on their site.

Side note: It was fun seeing Nigel Barker at my school today for our Prom fashion show.

chinkie - You are so lucky! Is he as hot in person? I'm so totally jealous.

[chinkie azn jai]

Posted: 4/4/08 at 7:34pm

I'm pretty sure every girl at my school now is in love with him, so I guess yes, he is as hot in person. VERY tall too.

Nigel is the love of my life.

I was just in Union Sq. Park. There was a HUGE crowd of people screaming, yelling, and taking pictures. Police galore. It was Tyra and some of her mo-dells. I wonder if she's here recruiting for next season.

So let's see if we can refresh our minds as to last week's episode...

We start off with a gentle reminder about Claire's totally inappropriate behavior at judging when she jumped for joy and practically threw a whole celebratory parade in her own honor when she wasn't kicked off the show. Make it last, Claire, that's all I have to say. Hold on to that feeling.

The annual dish fight! YAY! I was wondering when it would happen. Ok so, like, Lauren comes in and understandably empties a coffee press with what appears to be nothing but old coffee grinds left in it. Fatima walks in and asjs who threw out her coffee, to which Lauren basically admits to, saying she poured something out that didn't appear to be anything new or to be saved. Naturally, Fatima sees this as a prime opportunity to make a big something out of nothing and demand a full confession, signed apology, lie detector test, four liters of blood and a pap smear. Now, I must admit that the editing makes it appear that Lauren totally overreacts and goes punk all over Fatima's ass in a frightening way, but...1) If anyone has ever known someone like Lauren, this behavior would not be surprising in the least and 2) If I was stuck with Fatima's sh*t-stirring smugness 24/7, I would probably react the same if not worse, so, you go, Lauren! Fatima acts all surprised and shocked and goes on about how Lauren is obviously some psycho mess, which is about the 12th time she's been a huge hypcrite. i wonder if she remembered to SHAVE HER ARMPITS TODAY, little miss "just-admit-the-truth"?

Go sees? So soon? That's no fun. And it is in teams rather than individuals. I really hope they are not depriving us the annual SHAMING OF THE LATE MODELS. Britney's meltdown was so freaking awesome when that happened. Anyway, the two teams are given cell phones which give them the address of their next destination and have GPS display to show them how to get there since they are only allowed to walk. I know. Where's the "challenge"? Well, other than not sucking when you meet the clients, but we actually kind of hope some of them do. And while the editors try and build up a sense of suspense by showing some conflict over who gets to hold the phone and who knows the city, it just falls flat. Nobody is hideously late or gets hit by a car or falls down a flight of steps or anything. Zzzzz... The cute part is when Lauren is all concerned about how to behave in front of the clients so as not to offend them. Seriously, like her behavior is going to be her biggest obstacle at go-sees. Oh, Lauren. Thou gigglest me.

The girls walk for the clients and the results are exactly what you would expect. Anya, whose eyebrows freak me out. Can't she have just a little color on her face? Somewhere? She looks like she should be able to heal roadkill and magnetize your refrigerator. Lauren. Still. Can't. Walk. GOD! One client tells Whitney that she could never get work with her because she's so freakin' huge and another goes on about how her designs cater to all sizes, which basically tells us that the fashion industry cannot agree on anything at any time, so stop trying to bottom-line it for us every week, Tyra.

Stacy Ann is a "people person" (no!) and everyone with which she shares a room gets a contact helium high and starts talking like the Chipettes, so naturally she wins the challenge. She and her team get to appear in a spread in Seventeen (Personally, I would prefer Bora Bora). While none of this is particularly exciting or interesting, something quite notable happens when the winning team is announced. The is a shot of Dom (with hilariously awful hair in which the gel has staged a mutiny on her hea and her hair is now purposely fighting against her) and as she is laughing and celebrating, she opens her mouth really wide and...is that a missing tooth?? WTF??? How did they miss that in every episode since casting? I guess because it is far enough to the side she can conceal it most of the time, but you can tell the cameraman caught it by accident and then not only noticed it, but zooms in on her jack-o-lantern grin. Wow. I wonder if she's going to get Joanie'd or if they just decided she's probably going home soon anyway, so they'll save the money. Or maybe they can stage an entire shoot that would humiliate her with it, like they love to do so much. Find the weakness, then exploit the HELL out of it. Seriously, am I the only one who caught that?

Meanwhile, Lauren recognizes she needs to work on her walk.

YA THINK???

The girls go to the site of their next shoot and see Mister Jay reenact a scene that's supposed to be symbolic of a modeling career (because what isn't) and it's totally irrelevent and doesn't matter because the scene is from Fuerzabruta and can I just say, how the hell did I not know about this show until now??? De La Guarda was one of my favorite theratrical experiences EVER and I am totally going to see this as soon as I can. I'm booking tickets in July and will probably buy every piece of merchandise they sell. Seriously, if you never saw this or De La Guarda SHAME ON YOU!! Moving on, we see some really AWESOME short clips about the show and the girls will have to pose in a shallow pool of water on a thick hard surface of clear mylar, which will be photographed from underneath. It's really pretty cool, but it's about to get totally awesome!!

So Claire comes up with the idea that she is going to "slide" through the water to get a good creative shot. Now, I'm thinking Slip 'n' Slide or something like that. Well, Claire just sort of leans forward and face-plants right into the surprisingly hard surface. Her head literally bounces off like a basketball and Claire immediately has to stop because her neck hurts (and her face and her head and her pride). Mister Jay is all like, "I am not holding your hand through that dumb-ass move". He instructs her to move to the side and let another model play through until she feels better, which is either immediately or sometime later, we can't really tell. Either way, it wasn't long enough for the tears of laughter to fully dry on my newly salted cheeks. Rewind. SPLAT! Rewind. SPLAT! Rewind. SPLAT! This episode may never leave my DVR. Karma, thy name is Fuerzabruta.

So pretty much every girl saw what happened and took notes, careful not to "Claire the mylar" (feel free to use that). Most of them do pretty well, even Dom and her completely deformed face (I cannot get it out of my head). Claire and Lauren are the obvious worst and we know exactly where this is going.

Judging and all that jazz. Dom and Fatima do really well, which makes me mad at first, but then I think of Lauren, and I see the potential for some memorable carnage, so I'm ok with it for now. Whitney is awesome and proves to be making a huge comeback (hee!). Fatima brags about how all her practicing made for such a good photo and Nigel asks her to pose on the spot. As usual, she rather embarassingly does the worst and most cliched pose possible and Nigel totally calls her out on it. Will she ever learn? Let's hope not. Ktrzyna and Anya and Stacy Ann and whoever else is left were all good or ok or didn't suck too much.

So Claire and Lauren in the bottom two just as we were led to believe. Claire is told she is too one-note. Lauren is told...well, the same thing. Again. But Claire is shoved out the door. YAY! She really went from zero to bitch in about two seconds. And I have to agree with the judges. She really didn't show much range nor did she listen to direction. At least Lauren can pull off surprisingly good photos, even if she had an off-week with the shoot this week.

I am so pumped about the next episode! Mutilation (and not genitalia)! Legal problems! Drama! I love this show so much.

*sigh*

Matty, didnt you think it was HILARIOUS last week how stupid those girls looked in that shoot? Lauren almost freakin' drowning in an inch of water...almost as funny as the faceplant!

Looking forward to this weeks recap, but I think I lost my papers in Atlanta....may not be able to come back!
