America’s Next Top Model Cycle 11: See Ya Nikeysha!

September 10, 2008 06:48:55 by Britteny Elrick

Tonight on America’s Next Top Model, the models start to get a little too personal… Plus they get a lesson in extreme posing from Benny Ninja. They use the skills they have acquired to pose in their next photo shoot, Ladder of Success, where they have to pose on a ladder which is hanging from a hot air balloon. Unfortunately, the model house isn’t big enough for one girl’s personality…

Since she won the best picture last week, Marjorie’s picture is up on display in the house.

TYRA MAIL: Don’t get it twisted when you bend over backwards to be on top…

The girls ariveat their destination to findBenny Ninja, aposing instructor. He then tells them that sometimes they not only have to think outside the box, but…. then he turns around a giant box andshows them Brie, a model/contortionistwho is posing inside the box. He asks if anyone has natural flexibility and all the girls say, “Sheena!” He tells them that they will be posing in fabric tubes. All the girls stand inside a large, red fabric tube that is hanging from the ceiling as Benny coaches them on posing.

TYRA MAIL: Did you learn your lesson? If so, you’ve got this one in the bag.

The girls get into the hot tub and play truth or dare [with no nudity]. Clark is dared to kiss Elina. Elina says she saw “fireworks” [she has a crush on Clark] and says she was very excited.

Hannah is rather uncomfortable with all the overly sexual girls in the house. Isis accidentally danced next to her in the hot tub and Hannah pushed her away. Later on, Brittany and Sheena tell her she needs to be more careful of how she comes across, and Hannah starts to cry and says that she is the whitest girl in the house. Isis talks about taking her hormonal injections. She asksAnaleigh if she can distract her while she gives herself her shots.

The girls arrive in a theater to find Benny yet again. He tells them they will be posing forTarina Tarantino and modeling her accessories and bags. They are going to be judged on how well they are able to pose, sell, and inspire various accessories while doing extreme poses. Elina wins! She gets to take home a bag with assorted accessories.

TYRA MAIL:If you want to be on top then you better start climbing that ladder!

Sheena and Brittany talk to the other girls about their conversation with Hannah. Some of the girls decide to call a meeting about theIsis ordeal. They straight up ask Hannah if she is prejudice. Hannah asks, “Am I racist? No. I’m going to bed now, but thanks for critiquing me.” She goes off and cries. Hannah talks to McKey and she feels that she has been misunderstood in the house.

The girls arrive at the third location to findJay Manuel in a hot air balloon. He tells them they will be posingon a ladder hangingoff the side of the balloon. Mike Ruiz is the guest photographer. Nikeysha feels she really has something to prove this week after being in the bottom two last week.

Lauren Brie is first. She is super nervous and it’s very windy outside. Jay tells her that the wind was too much so they brought in a crane to hold the ladder and simulate the balloon. They loved Lauren and she did great poses. Elina was next and was equally impressive. Analeigh was much more fearful than the rest of the girls and it showed in her poses. Sheena did ok, but her poses were still a bit “hoochy.” Isis was strong, but not elegant enough. Nikeysha had an issue with her dress blowing up and exposing her underware, and Jay tells her she looked a bit regular. Brittany didn’t know how to harness her power. Joslyn did an amazing job. Clark wasn’t posing for her body height. Hannah feels like a fish out of water and they struggle to get her to be different. Samantha wasn’t aware of her garment and didn’t work it. McKey wasn’t holding her pose long enough. Marjorie did a gorgeous job.

TYRA MAIL: Someone is going home tomorrow and that will leave twelve!

Judging time with guest judge Tarina Tarantino. ForAnaleigh’s shot, they didn’t see committment. Samantha’s picture looked too full figured and lumpy - she wasn’t aware of the garment. Hannah’s was different and had good angles, but her face wasn’t great. Niykesha is next, and Tyra asks her what she eats because she is so thin, but they think her face looks great. Lauren’s photo got a wonderful response, Tyra says it could be a Dior ad. McKey’s photo was great, but she switched poses too quick. Clark had a great picture and they thought she looked European for the first time. Isis, they said, looks sexy, confident, and strong… Paulina disagrees. Marjorie has a confident, great picture and she gets nervous at the comments. Elina has a stunning picture and they compare her to Angelina Jolie. Sheena has a “goddess like” picture and they ask if her boobs are real - she says yes. Brittany’s picture looks “high end.” Joslyn gets a great review.

After the judging, Sheena comes forward and admits her boobs are not real. She says it was a stupid decision she made at a young age and Tyra says she knew all along, but she thinks it is beautiful that she came forward.

First, Tyra calls the week’s winner, Lauren Brie! The judges agree that it is one of the best photos in the history of ANTM! Elina is the next to be called, then Joslyn, Marjorie, McKey, Samantha, Sheena, Hannah, Clark, Brittany, and Analeigh. Nikeysha and Isis are in the bottom two. Tyra tells Nikeysha she was mediocre and that she never listens [and she interrupts her again]. She tells Isis that she didn’t look like a model today, and that they aren’t sure if she just got lucky with her picture last week. Then she says that maybe it wasn’t just luck and hands Isis her photo. Tyra tells her not to be so “high school.” Nikeysha goes home.
