"America's Next Top Model" Cycle 13: That’s a wee bit drunk

Recommend Blog Post

The remaining 13 girls went to Wilhelmina  -- the agency that will be signing the winner - and had to do impromptu interviews with its casting director. Lulu claimed that she had to be a model because she loves fashion - but could not name a single fashion photographer. Oops. Courtney managed to do a somewhat lackadaisacla runway walk without crutches, but she impressed Nigel and the Mr. Willy. Jennifer apparently has a lazy left eye due to a medical condition I can't spell or pronounce. Nigel asked Rachel - who does musical theater - to perform for them, and she totally blanked, and then did a crappy runway. Mr. Willy said that Bianca's doubly screwed because of her height and her severe look. Not to mantion stank attitude.

After the interviews, one of the girls was eliminated from the competition instantly. Whoops! Reality shows are loving these challenge eliminations this season; the same thing happened on "Top Chef" last week. And the cut went to googly eyed Wal-Mart checkout girl Rachel. In a previous cycle Rachel might have made it way further in the competition, but I feel like there is WAY less chaff this season. The girls seem to be much better, save for their height. I think Kara and Erin are obvious filler, but beyond that, I think all of them have potential.

Then the girls had to meet with a diva photographer, a la the crazy actor photog challenge from Cycle 4. Then Tya came in as a Clark Kent-type nerd model, and after getting into a spat with the photog, transformed into "Supersmize." Oh, it's the "smile with your eyes" challenge! With added Tyra humiliation. My god! The key to smiling with your eyes is apparently thinking of either a hot fudge sundae or your boyfriend kissing you on the neck. I don't think there's been a more ridiculous segment on this show since the Awirl Twins. Brills! Tyra did an amazing smize when working with Lulu; she really is a wonder.

And then! The girls had to go to Supersmize's Fortress of Fierceness while dressed as purple Oompa-Loompahs. They had ninja masks, and had to battle using only their eyes. I cannot make shit like this up. Courtney spanked Erin. Lulu beat Rae. Laura beat Sundai. Kaura beat Nicole. Britany beat Ashley. And Bianca eat Jennifer, although it looked like me like Bianca was falling asleep.

The winners got to go Tyra's favorite restaurant with Mr. Willy for some one-on-one time. The girls got waiter/waitress threads, as they had to wash dishes and wait on the winners. They've done that on this show before.

Back at the house, Bianca and Jennifer got into over Bianca putting dirty dishes into a still-steaming clean dishwasher. Nothing much came of it except that Bianca continued her run of stankassedness.

For the photo shoot, Tyra had the shorties posing with even more diminutive jockeys! HA! Bitch. But the twist: the girls had to do it nude. Well, topless. With weights covering their dirty pillows. That's good; I was worried that the gals would be getting all kinds of uncomfortable rug burns from the horses. Jennifer had major issues with the horse, which wouldn't calm down. Jay said Brittany gave him Italian Vogue. Laura looked absolutely stunning - she loves nudity, go figure. Lulu seemed to do absolutely nothing. Courtney had issues reconciling her slutty outfit and being cute nad innocent. Bianca was given a really trashy long, blonde wig. She looked like a hooker. Jay actually said C11's transgendered contestant Isis was softer than Bianca. Ouch.

Panel. Guest judge: Lauren Conrad from "The Hills." Ugh, for real? I'm hard-pressed to think of a least useful person on this planet. Ashley's shot was TERRIBLE. Tyra chose a test shot for her, because she was so overposed in the rest of her film. I thought Jennifer's photo was gorgeous; her lazy eye came up again, and Tyra gave her tips on how she model past it. Brittany's photo was incredible; she looked 7' tall. Bianca made a stupid crack about her wig before her photo came up, which gave Miss Jay pause, and in her shot she had poo-smelling face. Laura looked outstanding. Rae's photo was a little less impressive than last week, but it was still solid. I loved Nicole's shot; her eyes were bewitching. They loved Erin's photo, and I just didn't see it. She looked like her left arm was cut off. Courtney's shot wasn't great. She looked like Kylie Minogue. She admitted that she gave up during the shoot. Oh, Courtney. Bad idea.

Call-outs: Erin (should have been Brittany or Laura), Brittany, Laura, Nicole, Kara, Jennifer (too high), Sundai, Rae (too low), Lulu, Ashley (no way; should have been in Bottom 2). That left Bianca and Courtney. Bianca got the beatdown for her stupid comment about the wig, after being chastised about her attitude last week. Courtney gave up. ‘Nuff said. That means Courtney got sent home. That's some bullshit. Courtney had a TON of potential, way more than Bianca. And beyond that, she actually got a real shot, not just a test shot, Ashley. But at least she took it pretty well.

Up next: Runway! And Lulu and Ashley pull out the claws on Bianca. Yes. Give me the bitchiness.

I dislike Bianca so much and cannot believe they sent home Courtney over her. I thought Courtney would make it far but you know what it seems like they keep the bitch or drama starter in the show for a while because they need something interesting to happen for ratings. Peopl enjoy watching girls fighting about stupid stuff so I guess Bianca will be on the show for a few more weeks maybe. i hope not though.

I feel for Bianca now that she's shown her vulnerable side. Though I really wanted to see that girl who was working for Jesus. A shame that she removed herself from competition. Now, that would've be fun.
