"Great"

I liked how they did the posing challenges. It was fun to see how comfortable they were jumping on a trampoline and I could not believe how much better some people were than other people. The ice skating challenge was also good. I love how they have to do the poses while focusing on something else that is complicated. It was really funny how Lisa won after doing so bad on the trampoline. It was great to see some of the overconfident girls reactions. The photo shoot as gargoyols on the top of the building was just ok. From watching it on tv it did not seem very intimidating to be up that hign. I didn't mind that Janet was eliminated, since I didn't really like her.moreless

Photoshoot as a 'Fashion Gargoyle"

"Superb"

By Pyro_Bender, Oct 18, 2007

This week's episode was pretty good. Bianca gets on my last nerves. She thinks she is so perfect, when she is just jealous of Lisa, yes, jealous, she obviously is. Lisa did an amazing job this week and I hope she continues to do a great job because she grew on me. The photoshoot was on top of a really tall building and Ambreal was scared of heights so she had a rough time. I thought he picture was horrible. Heather needs to work on he photos because she has too many profiles, which needs to change. I hope Bianca screws up soon because I don't like her!moreless

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES
- ANTM Cycle 6 winner Dani has obviously taken Tyra's advice and worked on her Southern accent--it's greatly faded since her time on the show.
  EDIT SHARE
- Olympic medalist Lloyd Eisler assisted in the ice skate/pose challenge this week. He sparked controversy on the set of Skating With Celebrities when he began an affair with his partner, Kristy Swanson, while married to his wife Marcia, who was 8 months pregnant at the time.
  EDIT SHARE
- For the third week in a row, Heather is Covergirl of the Week.
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Bob Fosse Still comparing Janet's look to that of Liza Minelli, Tyra and the panel start doing side snaps and tipping imaginary bowler hats--moves made famous by choreographer/director Bob Fosse.
  EDIT SHARE
- Sarah: Lisa is insecure. It's kind of annoying, like Debbie Downer. Sarah references a character from Saturday Night Live played by Rachel Dratch, who is constantly drepressing people with her dreary outlook on life.
