Nicole!!!!  I thought for sure it was going to be Laura after this episode.  For sure.  She pulled off a great commercial and her runway walk was more “normal” than Nicole’s but Nicole won out in the end.  I love Nicole but her runway was comical.  I’m glad Tyra and Nigel thought it was signature.  I didn’t like Laura’s walk either but Tyra loved it.

I really enjoyed the sequence on the runway with the fabric and the wind.  I thought both girls did an amazing job with part.

It seems like the judges always choose the girl that has the worst commercial.  I remember thinking that the last several cycles.  I guess the emphasis of the top model job is not acting but runway and photo shoots.  And in that regard they totally picked the right person.  Nicole is stunning.  Just standing around she’s gorgeous but you get her in front of the camera and she comes so life.

I am so happy with the results.  Are you?

You know, I’m not really a big fan of the dancing challenges.  Maybe I’m just not in the know but are models required to dance on the runway?  Maybe in very specific shows for certain designers but it can’t be such a huge thing for their career right?  Anyway, I just hate that it totally embarrasses some of the girls.  I know I’m being too sensitive but my heart just breaks for girls like Nicole that can’t dance worth beans.  She seemed to be fine though so I’m just going to shut up now.

Was it just me or were the waves in the photo shoot pretty weak.  I thought they were going to be up above their heads and all around them.  I also thought they would be dressed more like a Hawaiian goddess.  Their wardrobe was pretty lame to me.

Well, I really liked Jennifer but I can totally deal with Laura and Nicole as the final two.  Last week I would have wanted Nicole to win but now I’m not sure I care.  I like them both.  I like Nicole’s look better but Laura is so cute I can barely stand it.  She wants this so bad.

I do know that next weeks Covergirl commercial is going to be painful.  And not just because I saw the previews just because it always is.  Sometimes it’s just hard to watch.

I can’t believe next week is it.  Can you?

ANTM is on Wednesdays at 8pm on The CW.

That cliff jump was pretty spectacular.  It totally didn’t look very high.  Now modeling while jumping off a cliff that’s got to be tricky.  My face would probably have some sort of freak expression on it while I was falling.  The girls did great.

That underwater photo shoot would have freaked me out.  And I mean big time.  When Nicole freaked out and started swimming up and they grabbed her and put the regulator in her mouth I just about had a heart attack.  I can’t believe she was able to calm down after that and pull off such a great picture.  I agree her feet looked wonky but she’s still my favorite.

Someone needs to explain to me what is going on with Erin.  Why is she still here week after week?  What do they see in her that is making some of these other girls go home before her?  It ’s driving me crazy.  Please enlighten me.

ANTM is on Wednesdays at 8pm on The CW.

I know we’re half way through the season but I think we can pick up here and still be OK.  I feel like I know the girls better anyway so now is when it starts getting fun.

Does anyone else think it’s weird that they moved to Hawaii?  Don’t they usually move somewhere that is a major fashion capital?  Or at least a major new fashion stop.  Not that Hawaii isn’t great but I didn’t know they were a mecca for the fashionable.  It’ll make for some pretty photo shoots though.

First of all let me get something off of my chest.  I don’t like this season with the short girls.  Call me a sexist pig but I like my models leggy and tall.  I’m not saying these girls aren’t pretty but when I saw them on the runway with the taller models they just looked short.  They stood out and I didn’t like it.

Also, on all the other seasons Tyra harps on the shorter girls to always wear heels.  Always.  But this season she hasn’t said it once.  Why?  I don’t know but it is seriously driving me crazy.  Why the double standard?  I want to scream every time the girls come into the judging room and they are all wearing flats.

Now on to the girls.  I have two favorites.  I really like Nicole though she is a little on the strange side.  That’s actually what I like about her.  That and her beautiful red hair.  I’m a sucker for red hair.  I also like Jennifer.  I can’t remember what races she was last night but she looked so beautiful.

Erin drives me crazy.  How dare she complain about getting a stunning helicopter ride for her reward.  What a spoiled brat.  She said she would have rather had dinner?  What the what?  Darn her for taking pretty pictures and sticking around so long.

I don’t have any predictions of who is going to win.  Do you or is it too soon?

America’s Next Top Model is on Wednesdays at 8pm on The CW.

I missed the first fifteen minutes of the show so I can’t comment on that part of it but hello.  How hilarious was the pose off?  I loved the stage they had set and I loved the outfits of everyone in the audience.  Celia really did steal the show.  She was awesome.  It did crack me up though when both girls were on the floor posing against each other.  

The photo shoot was great.  Talia really pulled it off.  I thought the girls looking off into space were funny.  I have to be honest though I wouldn’t have thought of making sure we were all looking into the camera or away from the camera at the same time.  I would have looked where ever I darn well felt like.  And Tyra taking pictures with her friends saying “Fierce, now funny face” is a crack up.

I’m sorry to see Kortnie go.  She was really pretty but that just isn’t enough.

But WTF was Celia doing?  That girl just got herself knocked down quite a few rungs in the judges eyes. ” You never rat out your Bs!”  That’s what one of the super models said in a past season.  Seriously.  Way to tattle on Talia.  That was completely uncalled for.  If Talia had wanted to quit she would have quit.  She’s not the most confident girl for sure but she pulled that photo off big time.

Can’t wait for next week to see what happens to Celia.  This should be great.  Do you think she’s going home?  You guys probably know Tyra better than I do.  Will she forgive her?
