America's Next Top Model Cycle 16

 

by Mike Bandy

 

Last night's episode of ANTM began with Molly saying she wants to tell her mom that she got best photo. She was adopted, and feels that she owes a lot to her parents. Nicole said that she would focus on trying to look youthful because Tyra said she looked old.
Ondrei was talking to Dominique and Dalya and told them that two of her brothers died this year - one in a car crash, and one was murdered. Dominique and Dalya were both surprised that Ondrei was handling it so well, and that she was still in the competition.


The next morning, Tyra came over with her nutritionist, Heather Bauer, who showed the girls all about "Cheaties" - things you can eat that seem bad but are actually good. The girls were blindfolded and asked to try different foods and tell which one was healthier. Overall, it was a good lesson for the girls in what they should be eating.


This food discussion spilled over into a food war, when Monique and Jaclyn went into the fridge and found chicken in a bowl that looked suspect, and they wanted to get rid of it. It turned out to be Alexandria's, and she was very upset that they had taken it out of the fridge. Dalya tried to explain to Alexandria how chicken was supposed to be wrapped, and Alexandria yelled at her. She said that Dalya would not have an easy time with her in the house.


The girls got a Tyra Mail: "Tomorrow you will face your worst critic." The next day, the girls went to the Colony Theater in Burbank, where they met up with Nigel and an acting coach. The challenge was to draw a picture of their worst critic, and then come up on stage and act out a confrontation with that person. When it was Ondrei's turn, she was very emotional as she confronted the demons who took her two brothers from her. Nicole confronted her issues with herself, and said afterwards that the experience was cathartic, and really helped her work through things.


That evening, Ondrei was feeling overwhelmed and trying to decide if she should stay in the competition or not. Her boyfriend was very supportive over the phone and said that he'd support any decision she made, but she felt unsure what to do.


Time for the photo shoot! It's at Smashbox Studios, and the photographer was too-delicious-for-words Mike Rosenthal. The girls did a shoot for jewelry, but the catch was that they'd have LIVE BEES crawling all over them! Most of the girls did well; according to Jay, Monique was stunning, Nicole was just okay, and Brittani was a "consummate professional". Ondrei was still having a rough time with things, and Jay said that her shoot was disappointing. Overall, nobody freaked out, aside from Hannah, who was crying through most of the shoot.


Supermodel, actress, and overall dynamo Alek Wek was the guest judge for this week's panel, and Ondrei was up first! She told the panel that she was not 100% herself, and she didn't feel right being in the competition. She thought she'd be strong enough to handle it, but she decided to leave. The panel wished her luck, and she hugged the girls and left.


Now, how to handle elimination?? Tyra said that they'd still judge Ondrei's photo, and if it was the worst that week, nobody would go home, but if it wasn't, someone would go home. On to the photos!


Hannah had a killer shot, even with the tears, Monique looked like a fabulous woman in Shanghai (according to Andre), and Brittani pulled off an amazing shot. Some who were not so good were Dalya, whose shot had her eyes closed because all the shots with her eyes open were "crazy", according to Tyra, and Nicole, who photographed old for the second week in a row.


During deliberation, the panel looked at Ondrei's photo, and while it had a lot in the eyes, it still showed fear. Would anybody be eliminated? The call-outs:


1. Hannah
2. Brittani
3. Monique
4. Mikaela
5. Kasia
6. Dominique
7. Sara
8. Alexandria
9. Jaclyn
10. Molly


Dalya and Nicole, come on down.

 

Nicole was told that she photographs old, but looks like a teenager in person, and Dalya has a gorgeous photo but most of her film was

unusable. Was Ondrei's photo bad enough to save either of them? Nope. Dalya was spared, and Nicole was eliminated.


Tyra told Nicole that she has a career ahead of her, but she doesn't want her walking into agencies photographing old. Nicole said she was disappointed, but knows that her career won't stop here. She said that she's learned from this experience, and that's all she can ask for.
