SFist Watches: Your Locals On Reality TV
Previously on "America's Next Top Model": Clip show. Feh.
Omigod, the show begins with Elina talking about how she doesn't show emotion because she's from Europe, and unless you're from Europe, you just wouldn't understand. So this show has taught us that Europeans are a bunch of socially awkward misfits who are afraid to cry. Who knew? Of course, Marjorie totally understands, and when confronted by Samantha with the fact that, like, didn't they move to America when they were little? Elina busted out with tears--the tears that are so hard to express because she is European--over what a hurtful thing that was to say to her. Back at the house the other girls continued to be annoyed by Marjorie and Elina's blaming everything on their European..uh..ness.
Challenge! Ron and Richard Harris, the "Aswirl Twins," were back to teach the girls the art of turning around. The girls had to learn how to sell a variety of accessories through completely cheesy movements, and then were confronted by the nightmarish apparition that is James St. James. They were told they would be part of a fashion show for Nony Tochterman of Petro Zillia in which they'd be "invisible models" through the magic of green screening. They each wore green bodysuits which would make them disappear on video screens. It was both stupid and entertaining. Marjorie's dress fell off halfway down her chest, and she had no idea. Elina won the challenge and took Annaleigh and Marjorie to the prize, a Seventeen photo shoot for the holiday issue. This pissed off Samantha because Elina is an atheist, and therefore hates Christmas.
Back at the house Sheena went off on Marjorie and Elina about the European thing, and how Elina won a prize that, despite only tangentially being related to Christmas, was not fair for her to win since she hates holidays. And kittens. And rainbows.
Photo shoot! Or, more accurately, commercial shoot, for Cover Girl, natch. Previous winner Whitney was there to laugh at coach the girls. It would seemingly be easier this season, as the girls were able to read their lines off a teleprompter. Alas, that teleprompter did not have the magic ability to rid Marjorie of her many tics and nervousness, and when Jay told her to try to control herself...she burst into tears. So many European tears this episode!
Panel! Tyra made the girls wear wooden clogs and walk the catwalk. Alas, it was not out of sheer craziness, but because the girls were told they'd be going to Amsterdaaaaaaaaaam!!!!!
Well, not all of them...Marjorie's commercial was full of tics and went by way too fast. Tyra declared Analeigh's commercial the best in the history of the show. Elina looked down too many times, and, again, "held back."
Analeigh was declared this week's winner. Marjorie gets to go to Holland, as does Elina. Joselyn, alas, does not.
Previously on "Survivor: Gabon" Sugar chilled on Exile Island once again, and held on to her Immunity Idol at tribal council. Post-tribal council Ace continued his scheming. He is one weasely bastard who needs to pull his pants up. Srsly. He convinced Sugar to give him the Immunity Idol since the rest of the tribe knew she had it. Uh oh.
Reward challenge! They were playing for a bunch of breakfast treats and coffee and the challenge involved running around in circles carrying a giant fake snake...Just go with it. Kota won and ate their reward with glee in front of LaFong. And, of course, Sugar was sent back to Exile Island. Would she be able to look for another Idol?
Apparently not, as in her Sugar Shack she just cried over how she gets to eat fruit while the rest of her tribe is starving and barely has any rice left. Meanwhile, Kota caught, killed, and cooked a turtle. Yuck.
Immunity Challenge! Teams were tied up into pairs and had to run through a variety of obstacle courses and retrieve flag pole sections. At first it looked like LaFong would lose miserably, but pretty soon they caught up and it was neck-in-neck. When it came to building the flag pole, Ace was a complete ass and didn't accept any help and basically lost the challenge for the team.
Back at camp Ace continued to live under the impression that he was some kind of mastermind, and he seemed to have Matty convinced an alliance with him was the best bet. Sugar told Kenny she had given Ace the Idol, and Kenny convinced her to take it back, which she did. She also admitted Ace is a snake.
Tribal Council! Going into it, it seemed the majority wanted to vote out Kelly, and despite some last minute bickering, that's how it went down. Sugar lives.
