Hairy Situation

(Picture from The CW)

Was anyone else having nightmares last night after watching Top Model? Between the pimped out Oompa Loompa "Weaven Steven" and the Sasquatch dresses, that's the stuff night terrors are made of...

I thought last nights episode had some pretty amusing scenes. For starters, during the runway challenge at the drag queen bar, Alexandra mentioned that she had alot of pressure on her since she "fell completely off the stage" during her last runway walk. She didn't elaborate to include that during that same challenge she also fell halfway down a flight of stairs during her entrance, or that a loud scream accompanied her falling off the stage. Maybe the trauma has made her memory fuzzy or perhaps she thought we wouldn't remember (I know I wasn't the only one who hit rewind atleast once!).

Then there was the horribly awkward moment when the judges were choosing the winner of the runway challenge by a clap-o-meter. All the girls were getting some sort of applause... even Clydesdale clomping Alexandra (who disappointingly managed to stay standing) and the not very memorable Jessica. Then they call Anslee's name and...... nothing....dead silence... (they should have super imposed some cricket noises for affect). It was one of those moments where someone else's embarrassment actually makes you uncomfortable.

Moving on. I think my favorite scene of the night was when Alasia was running late and all the girls headed down to the limo without her. Alasia, after finishing primping, walks to the elevator and pushes the button. She stands for a bit. No elevator. Then she tries the always trusted, but never works, tactic of continually pushing the button in a rapid fire manner. Still nothing. At this point I think most people would have thought to use the stairs... some maybe sooner... but nope, not Alasia. She seeks confirmation from the cameraman that they indeed too see that the elevator is not coming. Finally they cut to Alasia making her way down the stairs (I'm pretty sure she didn't come up with this idea herself) and she is saying "Oh I've never been down this way before... I'm scared", because you know, the Top Model house is probably a very dangerous place (maybe she thought Weaven Steven might jump out at any moment... that would strike fear in anyone's heart).

Krista ended up winning best picture this week... I think she is pretty but she needs a sandwich, maybe two. I am always shocked at which pictures the judges end up liking. Like when Angelea's picture came up, I was horrified (I may have even let out a screech) and I thought for sure she would get a bad critique. I mean she looked like a woolly mammoth being held at gun point or maybe Weaven Steven smiled (with his mouth full of gold teeth) and surprised her... okay I'm done with that now... I promise.

Next week the girls head to New Zealand and it's time for the "Go Sees". Since finding the stairs seems to be in issue for some...it should be entertaining. I am curious to see how goes next. I'm thinking it might be Alexandra's time. Do you have any thoughts on who might win? Anyone you can't wait to see gone? I'd love to hear your opinions.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled life.
