S21.E04: The Guy Who Gets A Beard Weave

[Tara Ariano]

A love triangle in the house causes some models to underperform at an optical illusion photo shoot. Later, during makeover day, one model unveils a never-before-seen look, while another suffers a breakdown.

[rustyspigot]

Uh, hahahahahaha!. This is what happens when you hate on the gays, Denzel. SO bad with the "beard weave". a bitch needs to pour beer in that beard weave.

 

I laughed a lot this episode. And Tyra's hair didn't look completely terrible. Kari and Romeo got the piss blond hair! That seems right.

[le bordel chaud]

VERY pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I thought Chantelle's makeover was great, but her photos have not been impressive at all. On the other hand, Kari's makeover is a hot mess and I don't see how she can recover from it. Especially considering she didn't read as model to begin with. Tyra Tyra what is you thinking? That shit would be appropriate for America's Next Top Porn Star. :shudders:

Continuing to love Matthew. I wish he would be bi-curious for me! The Romeo shit continues to be uninspired and offensive. And the fuck is Denzel's beard?? That managed to look cheap, fake, and fug at the same time!

Absolutely loved Ben's photo. He could be a contender!

So basically they had Romeo talk shit about everyone and they just choose to show the one that highlights the person going home each week....right? 

 

With the hairstyle they gave her for the photo shoot, Kari looked like the Russian woman from Dodgeball.

Denzel's going to be the best-looking Wise Man in the third-grade Christmas pageant!

[belligerent]

I was hoping that Denzel would be the one to get the beard weave but that was not the beard weave I was hoping for...  I have put fake beards on myself that have looked way more real than that.  I think he'd look good with a longer, natural-looking beard.  It wouldn't work for all shoots, no, but I like beards...

 

Speaking of beards... I can't believe that Matthew and Will might actually turn into a thing, since I said I would like to see that.  Rarely do things I want to happen actually happen on television.  I just hope the other people in the house will leave Matthew alone to let him figure it out.

 

The buzz is a much better look for adam but he's still a douche and he's still too short...

[phoenix780]

Did the Matthew/Will kiss happen when the cameras weren't running or something?  I saw a couple women kissing in the promo as part of some game, and a pair of people went into the shower, so the exclusion of actual footage (especially since it was a major point of discussion) is a little odd.  Also...if we're going the sex-crazed kids route, I'd appreciate the show throwing in a little something for me to enjoy in that arena.

 

Does Tyra think I can't compare numbers?  I'm no math-magician, but the girl who went home did not have the lowest social media scores, they were not what decided things despite Tyra's declaration.  She was, however, from Toronto- didn't know that before, but I feel like they showed it a lot tonight- and I don't know how I feel about that on America's Next Top Model so I'm kind of OK with her leaving for now.

 

Poor Kari.  Tyra destroyed her after a few of the boys said she was the most attractive in the house.  And poor Keith, for saying in an interview that Kari did look like a stripper.  I feel like he lost the competition right there.    

 

Tonight I learned that it's not bleached eyebrows that bother me.  It's the weird skin around them that does.  They must get a little burned or something in the bleaching process, it's like a layer of skin gets peeled off.  It looks painful, and gross, imho.

 

I thought the beard weave made Denzel look like a woman dressing as a man, maybe for fun, maybe as part of some wacky plot in a movie/tv show.  They should make him keep it.  And then bleach it.

[yourbutt]

I don't understand why the colorists on this show always feel the need to bleach eyebrows to match the (awful) blond dye jobs. It rarely looks good. Poor Kari's hair looks awful, but at least with a darker brow color it wouldn't be quite so bad.

 

Also, THAT BEARD. Why.

 

And why didn't Denzel get chewed out at panel for his little tantrum? I totally expected a Tyra lecture and was very disappointed when it didn't happen. Maybe they thought the beard was punishment enough.

 

 

 

 

[snakenax]

I find it funny how they make it seem like a surprise Keith got no makeover. He's completely hairless and while I wouldn't put it past Tyra to put a wig so thirsty even Drag Race wouldn't accept it on a bald man, i'd still err on the side that if someone has nothing to makeover they probably won't get one. Which isn't to say they won't force a makeover, like last season how Cory's bald makeover was entirely because with a already buzzed head that was the only makeover they could do.

 

What is with the headscarf on Tyra? It's just really unflattering.

 

The makeovers were actually mostly good. I like the shorter hair on Mirijana, it makes her look more severe and less dopehead than before. Kari's was just plain awful, but she's like the fillerest filler ever so she should just feel lucky that eventually she can pawn that weave for ten bucks(eight more than Tyra paid for it!). The beardweave isn't a bad idea, but I found in execution it looks really obvious and fake, especially when you see the bottom because real beards don't work that way. Chantelle's weave actually looks good.. right now, in two episodes it will probably have possums nesting in it.

 

I think Romeo's went the opposite direction it should have, ice blond hair makes him look more young and twinky like a porn star, while dying his hair jet black would have really brought the whole alternative look together. I like Raelia's in look, though I think if they're worried about her looking too mens magazine that look pushes her much more in that direction. I can't tell a lick of difference with Lenox and Matthew outside of standard beauty salon primping. Ben and Adam look much, much better with their hair buzzed, especially Adam who really needed it. Shei's makeover is.. stupid, but it doesn't look terrible on her, but it's the kind of hairstyle you get temporarily for a specific shoot rather than a general style. I don't like Will's, he has such a strong Nordic face that putting him in a more traditional modely hair style would have been far better, the more alt buzzed sides look removes the versatility his look had.

 

Overall this group of dysfunctional creatures is turning out much less loathsome than I thought they would be. Even Adam's dbagness leans less towards active dislike and more towards 'I think this person is so socially confident they wrap around to socially awkward'. I can't say I actively like any of them in the way I did Adrienne, Else, Mercedes, April or Naima but I only find Romeo truly dislikable, and he's so cartoonish I just can't take him seriously.

 

I liked the shoot and overall liked the results. Ben definitely deserved to win, that was actually a shockingly good photo for ANTM(I could actually see it breaking into the top 20 overall for the show). I still find it funny that Romeo, without people seeing his personality, is getting by far the worst fan vote. Sad to see Chantelle go since I really liked her look/attitude, especially since she has a lot more potential than Kari.

[AjaAja]

I only saw the second half of the show and haven't seen the previous episodes and frankly, what I saw doesn't compel me to go back and watch them. I didn't know the show started up again or that it moved to Monday (though I wasn't really planning on watching this cycle). 

 

I suppose it's not a surprise that I have no idea what's going on but I can tell whatever it is, it's a hot mess of hook-up drama, which I have no interest in watching. Matthew/Will is certainly an uncommon match-up but hook-up drama is still hook-up drama. It was just awkward with people demanding Matthew update his sexual orientation status to fit their own cognitive constructs and the fact that he was quite defensive about it (this certainly doesn't mean that he's not "straight" but it only made it more awkward and torturous to watch). It would be nice to have a third party with some sense to help rescue the poor guy (Will's too much a part of it to be considered a third party). Men in our society are brought up to be too insecure about their sexuality; I can kiss my girlfriends just fine without anyone questioning whether I'm attracted to other women.  

 

Frankly, this cycle does not look very promising and I've stayed through a lot with this show. Adding guys seems to have turned the show into just another trashy reality-tv show (it was a lot of things before but at least it wasn't trashy). Some/Many of the guys probably applied for the wrong reasons; it's funny though: I agree with Matthew that [they wasted their time because] the pickings are slim. It is nice to see some familiar posters from TWOP since it's demise so I might if only for that reason.

[chocolatine]

a bitch needs to pour beer in that beard weave.

 

 

Surely you mean a stank ho needs to pour beer on that beard weave! I'm glad the beard is easy to put on and off - Denzel would be ill-advised to go through an airport security line having it on.

 

That was such a bullshit moment when Miss J was telling Kari that her type of makeover is something that's regularly asked of working models. I would bet money that no legit modeling agency would ask a girl to get a hairstyle that's (a) unflattering and (b) cheap-looking. 

 

Shei's makeover was just ridiculous. I have no other words. Will's already too tall for a male model, so of course he needed his hair to add three more inches to his height. At least I'm glad there was minimal intervention with Lenox's gorgeous hair. I found it hilarious that Romeo actually needs prescription lenses but can't wear them now because of the colored contacts. Can he still cast spells when he can barely see?

 

Finally, I was surprised how much booze there seems to be in the house. First and foremost, with some models under 21 I don't think it's a good idea to have alcohol in the house at all. Secondly, drinking before a photo shoot doesn't make anyone look better, especially with Tyra's "boom boom boom" expectations set so high.

[tv echo]

That white hair on Kari and the beard on Denzel were both incredibly unflattering and silly.  You can tell they're cannon fodder to Tyra and are going to be eliminated soon - along with Shei, with her ridiculous makeover... excuse me, Ty-over.  Every season, Tyra does what she can to manipulate results (picking the "best" photos, judging scores) and I think the makeovers are part of her shenanigans.

 

I think Tyra has a thing for Keith.  She's always simpering at him and giving him high marks during the judging panel.  Mirijana better watch out.  Whenever Tyra starts the judging panel and gives her speech about what the winner will get, she always has this strangely off-putting facial expression - like she's trying to "smize" and be seductive and smug at the same time.

 

Now I either mute the sound or change channels during all the model house drama, and only watch the actual modeling and judging sessions.

But it is conducive to same-sex kissing!  So bring on the booze!

 

Kari looks so awful she should sue!  Denzel's merkin (or should I call it poetic justice?) looks horrendous.  Best makeovers were really just better haircuts:  Will, Matt, Ben and Adam.  The shorter do's really accentuate their faces.  Agree with poster above that Adam will in no way get past the fact that he's a shorty.  I didn't notice Ben's gorgeous cheekbones til last night.

 

Was I the only one who was totally baffled at Tyra saying to Shei "We're going to make you black and white?"  I was on my couch wondering how the hell they were going to do that!

[Nonlinear]

Shei's hair and one eyebrow dyed blonde looks terrible! How can she make that look work for her even if she tried without looking ridiculous? And Denzel's beard looks it costs a dollar.

 

Is she DNA testing the contestants for a future photo shoot theme?

Edited September 9, 2014 by Nonlinear

[Primetimer]

The models waste their time arguing about bisexuality while Tyra is busy stealing their DNA.

Read the story

[PityFree]

I am so tempted to order that DNA test for myself. 

 

Anyway... the fake beard on Denzel was beyond horrible. I don't think even Tyra's adjustment to the shape will do anything to fix it. Do people even do that in RL if they are not dressing for a play or Halloween? I doubt it. Tyra is cray.

 

I have heard (only heard - because I am not a witch or anything) that it is extremely bad for witches or practitioners of voodoo, etc. to putting bad spells/curses on people because it results in that energy coming back to the spell/curse maker. Makes sense if you think about the concepts of karma or "what goes around comes around" I wonder what Romeo's comeuppance will be?

 

I also don't why the models are staying up late, binge drinking, etc. None of them (save Lenox and other youngest ones) are youthful enough to keep that up and still look or feel good the next day. My theory on how Adam does not get hangovers: he is constantly drunk.

My guess is it really was just a peck on the lips and not the full-on makeout session that they would have you believe, hence no video.

 

Denzel's beard - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I don't think I have ever laughed this much during an ANTM episode.  Every time I saw it I burst out laughing.  I wore a fake mustache for Halloween one year and it looked more real than that thing.

Edited September 9, 2014 by recurring dream

[Wootini]

I have seen some fake-ass beards on TV shows and movies, but that thing they glued to Denzel's face HAS to be the worst yet! Bwa ha ha ha!

 

Clearly casting boys and girls for last season didn't have the result that Tyra was going for, so she made sure that this time she cast a few contestants who she knew would be tramping it up, especially since they seem to have hot and cold running alcohol in that house. Seriously, I don't remember this much liquor last season! (And as an aside, Janice would be ripping them all a new one for drinking like that. I remember an episode of her own short-lived modeling series where she sent them all to a cocktail party the night before a shoot and then at the shoot berated all the models for having puffy eyes because they were drinking the night before. They were all "But you sent us to a cocktail party!" And Janice is all "You aren't supposed to drink the night before a shoot, stupid!" It's a trap!)

 

Marijana's makeover helps her immensely. She now looks more like a fashion model than just some chick off the street. Of course, looking like a model won't help her actually act like a model. She's too busy flirting with whoever catches her eye next. I mean, good lord. She kept flirting with Denzel even with that... THING on his face! Poor Matthew. Although if he gets Will out of this, that's a good deal. I just wish they'd caught that drunken kiss on camera. THAT I would've loved to have seen. And I'm glad Will finally spoke up at the end of that seriously horrible conversation to tell them that even though they claim they're not being judgmental, that everything coming out of their mouths is totally judgmental and pretty homophobic. So STFU.

 

Oh, right. Photos. They took photos this week, right? Yeah, whatever. That's clearly not the focus of this show anymore. 

[JustaPerson]

I love how the shot of Denzel looking pissed off after his optical illusion shoot also featured Ben in the background eating lunch. Kinda took the *drama* out of the moment. 

 

My favorites right now are probably Matthew, Ben, and Will. If Matthew and Will don't go anywhere romantically, I'd love it if they became genuine friends. 

 

ETA: Why does Denzel with that beard weave look like an uglier version of Tim Howard?

Edited September 9, 2014 by JustaPerson

[JennB]

@Wootini, I was also glad that Matthew was so casual about the kiss, and about homosexuality in general. "I'm straight, but I'll kiss a dude and tell him he's hot. What's the big deal?" And he basically said that even if he were gay, it's not an issue. I liked his attitude about the whole thing, while the others were trying to bring in the homosexual panic.

[ShadowDenizen]

Wow, they must really hate Denzel. That fake-beard was hideous! (Though it could be viewed as payback for bringing the gay-panic into the house.)

 

My favorites right now are probably Matthew, Ben, and Will. If Matthew and Will don't go anywhere romantically, I'd love it if they became genuine friends.

 

I liked both Adam and Ben's makeovers; very flattering for them. And I think Matthew was quite attractive before, and more so now. I hope he and WIll can sort our whatever-it-is they have between them without the house flipping another gasket; this is like a BETTER version of Zankie, since neither of these two is an insufferable prat. (And, on that note how is it that Matt and Will can have a (suppsedly) chaste kiss, and not ONE WORD about the two others jumping into the shower together??)

 

I was surprised that Chantalle was booted; I sure thought Kari got the "Losers Edit" this week.

 

And Keith? Dude is seriously in for a fall on this show. NO makeover? Really? That's never a good sign for down-the-road.

I was surprised too.  I expected her to be pushed to the end with inflated scores by Tyra.  I am glad to see that didn't happen.  I would have preferred to see someone else go but at least we see she was not rigged to stay which I anticipated.

Me too, but I'm dreading what Tyra plans to do with it.  I'm imagining a parade of ethnic stereotypes in the name of art.  

 

The Matthew/Will stuff...for some reason the way y'all have talked about it is making me flash back to the model show on Bravo, first season, with the gay-straight bromance.  Good times, that show.

 

I was surprised that Chantalle was booted; I sure thought Kari got the "Losers Edit" this week.

 

I think she had way more attitude than we saw.  I think she grumbled about how the black/white makeover better not be her, a totally legit concern but it made me wonder how much she's willing to play within Tyra's World.  

 

Although her departure is kind of awesome because it suggests Tyra's a pretty bad model scout.  Didn't her ice cream truck guy last season go out around this same time?

[snakenax]

Well on the one hand, when they did a 'mix different cultural appearances together' photoshoot in a previous season it turned out really amazing and tasteful. On the other hand, that was back when the show's photoshoots overall edged more towards tasteful and not ridiculous.

[millielee]

Ah, yeah, Ben and Ronnie from Make Me a Supermodel. I don't know how I even remember their names, that was six years ago!

 

I kept on laughing and laughing at the beard weave. Every year I think that the Ty-overs can't get any worse, but Tyra keeps on bringing out something so crazy I never would've even thought about. Can't even begin to think how the beard was supposed to look like, but I guess we'll see next week. 

 

Adam is actually quite good-looking now that he got the haircut. 

[Kat]

 

I don't understand why the colorists on this show always feel the need to bleach eyebrows to match the (awful) blond dye jobs. It rarely looks good. Poor Kari's hair looks awful, but at least with a darker brow color it wouldn't be quite so bad.

Thank you! Real professional colorists do not fully bleach eyebrows like they do to at least one person every gawdamn cycle of this shit show! Kari looked AWFUL. I suppose(?) I get why they bleached Shei's one eyebrow because they were going for a full black/white look, which is f*cking ridiculous in its own right.

 

There are no words to describe the horror of that thing on Denzel's face. Completely and utterly RIDICULOUS.

 

Ben's photo was far and away the best one and he had one of the best makeovers, so I'm glad he won. While Adam looks better, he's still the tooliest tool in the toolbox and I need him off my screen PRONTO.

 

Can we have an 8 person elimination next week and just have the rest of this season be about Ben, Lennox, Matthew, and Will? They are absolutely the only people I care about. 

[NorthstarATL]

So was Denzel's fake beard supposed to symbolize Matthew's struggling sexuality? Because there is no other reason for that other than an braham Lincoln play. Kari's makeover was/is hideous! I was also surprised that Chantelle got the boot, but I guess the skin condition drama had played itself out (unless, of course, she gets a bigger spotlight by being a returnee later on.) Hopefully, someone will realize that the witchy drama has also run its course.

  I think I was right about Adam. The shaved head is more serious, his call home was not to his frat, and he didn't overact for his shoot. (Still, nothing's going to make him younger or taller.)

[panthergirl13]

Poor Kari.  Tyra destroyed her after a few of the boys said she was the most attractive in the house. 

 

Coincidence? I don't think so.

 

And in what universe is that piss-yellow color called 'platinum'? The last straw (har har) was giving her piss-yellow eyebrows, making her look like Anthony Soprano after his binge drinking night in NYC.

[aradia22]

Not impressed with the drama or the photoshoot this episode. I should have fastforwarded. I did appreciate having a photoshoot that they might do in the real world and not something designed just to torment them.

 

Makeovers...

Adam looks more like a model and less like a surfer being photographed for a shoot or a fitness magazine now. I don't think the buzzcut was right for Ben though.

The pompadour is very popular for guys now but I think shaving the sides and making it so high makes Will's head seem weirdly proportioned. He's already very tall and he has a big forehead and this makes him look more awkward. 

Denzel's beard is hilarious. It looks so fake and awful.

The bob isn't awful but I think the color Mirjana got is wrong for her.

Chantelle's hair is pretty but not spectacular.

I feel like Romeo got the better version of Will's look.

They gave Raelia Whitney Houston hair. I think she can work it but it doesn't improve her look.

Shei's new look is so stupid. At least Denzel just has a fake beard. What the hell, Tyra? Why would you do this to Shei?

So Kari's hair is terrible. But I feel like it wouldn't be as bad if they hadn't dyed her eyebrows to match. It's doing something weird to her brow and the space between her eyes. It's less antelope and more alien neanderthal now.

Did they do anything to Lennox?

 

Ancestry.com? Line? Why is there so much product placement?

Ugh, Romeo can go. Like now. Just go now. He's not wiccan. He's an idiot.

 

Photos...

Matt's came across like he was doing a trick on the scooter which was good but he shortened his body a lot.

Shei kept herself fairly long and lean but the problem is it comes across too casual. Without the optical illusion it's super boring. That elegance and effortlessness is working against her here.

Yay, Will! I think he did well this week.

Denzel has the same problem as Shei. It looks like a normal, boring photo.

Not that impressed with Mirjana. Kelly talked about angles but I think they could have been more extreme. It did feel lazy. I am starting to hate her so I acknowledge that my dislike could be a factor in that judgment.

Ben's felt more like a action shot than a lot of the others. I liked it. But then I like him. Possibly because they haven't focused on him that much and he stays out of the drama. The worst thing you can say about him right now is he's friends with Adam. Whatever, I like having a hamster to root for.

I like the idea of Chantelle's photo. With the styling and the pose it feels more whimsical than the others. It gives me an Alice in Wonderland vibe. But she seems to be holding a lot of tension in her upper body and her face isn't doing anything.

I'm not sure if I like Raelia's photo but I think the outfit might be the problem. It's got that kind of broken doll look which is interesting. 

Adam looked so short in his photo. It's like every part of his body was doing the wrong thing if the goal was to look taller.

Lennox's photo wasn't awful but I felt like I was looking at a photo from the short season of Top Model.

Keith also made himself look really short. He did look good in the suit though. 

I didn't get a good idea of how Romeo did since he was upside down. I feel like it wasn't amazing though.

I don't know how to explain Kari's photo. 

 

Next week looks hilarious.

[candall]

I just watched the makeover segment.  Kari's the only one who isn't shown Before & After, split screen style.  Did they just forget? <snort>

 

I haven't watched this in eons, but I remember that production took pity on one or two people and adjusted their makeovers.  Maybe they'll relent enough to fix those glowworms above her eyes.

 

(P.S.  Still having after-laughs about the third grade Christmas pageant.)

[Wootini]

Romeo is so very clearly playing up his "black magic" for the extra camera time. Mentioning that he'd asked production for supplies to make voodoo dolls? I'm surprised they didn't give it to him, because I can only assume they gave him the candles and whatnot he'd used to make his little altar or whatever on the back porch...

 

I would think that actual wiccans would be getting upset at this dimbulb's portrayal of them… if I thought any wiccans actually watched this program! ;-)

[milkyaqua]

I'm probably more meh than anything because I spoiled myself with all of the photos months ago when they first came out.

 

I'm still liking the folks I did initially like Matt, Will (even if they are too tall), Lenox and Shei.  I wasn't too big on Chantelle but she has worked since her boot more than the others.  Still don't get Tyson clone Keith and Denzel (too short) does nothing for me.  Adam just is a nonentity along with Kari.

 

Ben's photo this week was good but I'm thinking that's a fluke.

 

Tyra continues to look silly and what was that DNA test about?  The same-sex kiss thing was ridiculous.  I hate when people try to put people in a box.  I really hated how they all sounded so accusatory like Matt had committed a crime.  Get over your small-minded selves, gah!

[Qoass]

I suspect that the DNA testing will show that Mirjana is Leah Remini's long lost sister and that Shei is closely related to Cruella De Vil.

[aradia22]

 

Tyra continues to look silly and what was that DNA test about?

Product placement for ancestry.com and also maybe justification for another photoshoot of questionable cultural sensitivity where they dress up as Natives or dump on a boatload of fake tanner? Though I think they're going to be spiders or something equally stupid next week. I can't wait! If they can't find great models I at least want to be entertained.

[candall]

I thought Keith looked elegant in his suits and I'm annoyed at Tyra for telling him to get himself into some jeans and T's.

 

Ninety seconds later she's preaching the gospel about being different is a gooooooood thing.  "Be interesting!  Stand OUT!" 

 

(I see 14 people before me and only one of them is dressed like a professional. . .)

[aradia22]

 

I think Romeo's went the opposite direction it should have, ice blond hair makes him look more young and twinky like a porn star, while dying his hair jet black would have really brought the whole alternative look together.

I think that was what they were going for. With jet black hair he'd blend in with every other skinny guy with tattoos and piercings. 

 

That was such a bullshit moment when Miss J was telling Kari that her type of makeover is something that's regularly asked of working models. I would bet money that no legit modeling agency would ask a girl to get a hairstyle that's (a) unflattering and (b) cheap-looking.

YUP. It was kind of sad that she was trying to fight her way through it to not be the girl who has a breakdown and also to probably try and convince herself that it didn't look bad. But it did. Tyra and J are being ridiculous trying to convince her that this makes her look more like a model.

 

I also don't why the models are staying up late, binge drinking, etc. None of them (save Lenox and other youngest ones) are youthful enough to keep that up and still look or feel good the next day. My theory on how Adam does not get hangovers: he is constantly drunk.

I was kind of baffled. I know models and celebs do their share of partying but my guess is that the editors are blowing things out of proportion because if they get wasted every night there's no way they can look good for shoots or maintain the kinds of physiques they need to maintain. It would eventually show.

 

I get why they bleached Shei's one eyebrow because they were going for a full black/white look, which is f*cking ridiculous in its own right.

Yes! It would be terrible either way but the matching eyebrows make it worse. It just feels so cartoonish. There's a way to do two-toned hair that actually has a more editorial, sophisticated look. Why does this salon keep cooperating with Tyra's crazy ideas? It makes them look like a terrible business that can't even dye someone blond properly.

he's even lazy when it comes to his 'voodoo'! He should have been out there at the salon gathering up the hair clippings!

[Pogojoco]

So....why can't Denzel just grow a beard? He has a goatee naturally and it might take a week or two but um, yeah. Grow it. 

[aradia22]

Some guys can't grow a lot of facial hair. Either it grows in sparsely or it will just never get that long. It's not a matter of waiting.

First off - do Tyra and team know what "optical illusion" means? None of those photos looked like they were defying gravity, they looked like a bunch of photos turned sideways.

I know I just said Kari looked plain last week, but man, Tyra just made her look BUSTED. Somehow, the matching eyebrows make it worse. I think it's because they're too light, so they're blending into her skin.

I just don't understand Shei's makeover, but quite honestly, when they found the "half black, half white" makeover card, I thought it was going to be Chantelle, so I'm actually shocked Tyra didn't go for that.

The beard weave is just hilarious. It looks so comically terrible.

Ben looks about 10,000 times better with his makeover; it makes him look less goofy looking. And his photo was fantastic. And his social media score is crazy high; I'm guessing that alone will help keep him around for awhile.

I could not stop laughing at the faces Keith was making while Matthew was trying to explain that he didn't label his sexuality.

Lennox has shot up to my favorite after declaring that while there was a lot of drama, she wasn't going to complain, because she loved watching drama.

.  Recap:

 

- Alcohol was allowed and could be given at anytime while in the house

- Raelia asked Matthew to take his pants off

- Romeo dared Matthew to kiss Will

- Matthew didn't get along with Yu Tsai at the photoshoots.
..BTS he would call Yu "Sweet & Sour Chicken"

 

- Ben originally had a skateboard as his prop in this week's photoshoot

- Ben kinda spoiled his DNA test which he revealed was Native American

- Matthew thought calling the makeovers "Ty-overs" was stupid.

- A possible reunion is in the talks with the CW.

Some guys can't grow a lot of facial hair. Either it grows in sparsely or it will just never get that long. It's not a matter of waiting. 

I`m aware that some dudes can`t do it (my father is one), but I very much doubt a sparse real beard would look worse than the weird Abe Lincoln thing. And I also really doubt they tried to get that information on Denzel. Try to grow the beard and see what it looks like. Just try it and see.

 

Weird and fake and stupid is what Tyra wanted. Because this show is terrible. 

 

Also, you could visibly see Keith attraction to Kari dying on screen....I`m sure it thrilled Tyra to see it.

Kari looks so awful she should sue!

 

You're better than me. I was thinking Kari should beat Tyra's ass. Especially if she had gone home with that look.

 

Now that said: At this point in the game nothing about the "Ty-overs" (WTFF??) should surprise anybody. Chantelle's going on about not wanting to lose her hair was stupid. She should consider herself lucky that she got a new weave to take back to Canada with her.

 

Besides looking 1000 percent better with the new haircut, that little shimmy Ben did at FCO? Adorbs. I think I might finally have someone to root for now.

Wait, did Matthew say that Marijana has a boyfriend? Like outside the show?

Marjana said in the last episode that she has a boyfriend back home.

[snakenax]

Yeah, Mirijana has a boyfriend, they showed a photo of her and him at some point this episode. It's kind of basic pretty teen girl drama, in that as soon as she's away from her boyfriend for five seconds she's flirting with a new guy to be her boyfriend. While the show has had 18 year olds on it before, I think she might be one of the most.. 18 year oldy of them they've had.

I really enjoyed this episode because it was jam-packed with classic ANTM drama.  And when my second-favorite girl was sent home (my favorite is Lenox), I could stop the Jade voice in my head from shouting "THIS IS NOT CANADA'S NEXT TOP MODEL," so I was okay with it.

[JustaPerson]

Wow...and one bats an eye when she and Denzel get in the shower together and flirt intensely? I'm surprised Matthew didn't throw that in her face while she and the others were giving Matthew their "input" on his kiss with Will. I did like his joke about kissing the prettiest girl in the house and Shei cracking up. I really appreciate that Shei didn't say anything about it. She was just curious about what happened but other than that she didn't say anything else.

Is it evil of me to hope for some Shandi-like drama with her?

What about the girl who complained about missing prom or graduation?
