SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV

jessica_Sugar.jpgOmigod, y'all! There's someone on "Survivor: Gabon" we actually kind of know...OK. We've never actually met her, but she starred in a student film a friend made at SFSU, so that almost counts, right? Her name is Jessica Kiper and the student film, written and directed by Alexandra Lacey, is called Weekend at the Casa Munras, and you can watch it at the Free Spirits Film site.

Jessica, who is calling herself "Sugar" on the show, introduced herself as a "retro pin-up model," not an actress. So, guessing that's her strategy? Or something? She was picked second, by a photographer, natch, during the team pickin' portion--Team Kota. They got first place in the first challenge, which won them an extra bag of food.

At their camp site, Sugar tried to make light of the fact that they are all surrounded by potentially man-eating animals, and bathing in the lake wasn't going to be happening any time soon.

In the first immunity challenge Team Kota totally kicked Team Fang's asses, winning immunity and flint. But that wasn't the end, because it was a TWO-HOUR premiere. Lordy.

Nothing of much interest happened with shiny happy Team Kota until the Immunity Challenge, which was also for a reward of fishing gear and involved pushing giant balls around a course, getting keys, and unlocking a gate. Kota won and sent Dan from Team Fang to Exile Island.

Obviously, Sugar lucked out in getting picked for her team, and so far, she hasn't done anything egregious. Let's see if she/they can keep it up!

Previously on "America's Next Top Model" Marjorie posed for a high-end, edgy, boutique hotel ad.

This week Analeigh threw what others were calling a "pity party" for being in the bottom two. No time for pity, girl! You must go bowling! Ah nuts, not actual bowling. Instead the girls had to walk in high-heeled bowling shoes down a bowling lane. Marjorie and her skinny, skinny, SKINNY jeans walked, per Miss J., like the Energizer Bunny.

Of course that little lesson lead to an actual runway challenge that took place in an old bank in which the models were dressed in Jeremy Scott designs and made up to look like cat burglars. Blindfolded cat burglars. The winner and two friends would get a Seventeen magazine spread, and the loser...would go home that night.

Despite being blindfolded, Analeigh decided her best bet would be to smile with her eyes. Marjorie was her usual awkward self. Hannah was a complete and total nightmare.

Jocelyn won the challenge and took Isis and Sheena with her on the win. As for the loser, the J's said, "Thanks, but no thanks" to Hannah, the possibly racist Alaskan, and sent her home.

headless_marjorie.jpgPhoto shoot time! It took place in their pool, with the girls only showing the tops of their heads, with instruction to--yes--smile with their eyes. Nigel was once again their photographer. Marjorie floated out of the water like a "sea mammal" and was declared genius by Jay. Analeigh also got some praise, and it cheered her the hell up. Yo.

Judging time! The judges thought Analeigh saved herself with her leggy pose, while everyone but Paulina liked Marjorie's photo. She deemed it to much like a "headless horseman." Clark-with-no-e had the winning photo. Analeigh was runner-up. And Marjorie is still in the running towards becoming America's next top model. Isis, however, is-is not...Ah, nuts...literally.

Next week: Marjorie goes crazy!

Retro pin-up model? *snort*

 

CBS is so cutting edge. They only missed the 50's retro trend by 10 or so years.
