ANTM ALL-STARS EPISODE RECAP
Episode 11: “Tyra Banks: Model, novelist, and mayor of Crazytown”
The Challenge
- Write a style blog to impress Franca Sozzani (editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia).
- Find a location, take photos, and then write your blog—in three hours.
- “Take me where you’d take your girlfriend to make love!” Lisa to cabby.
- Early hint that things are quickly descending into madness: Angelea won.
The Photo Shoot
- The ladies filmed a “motion editorial“ based on Tyra’s first (first!?) novel, Modelland—directed, of course, by Tyra Banks.
- Each girl represented a different version of the book’s main character, Tookie De La Crème (no, sadly, I’m not making any of this up).
- Tookie is obsessed with whipped cream and a doll named Bellisima.
- Oh, and all of Modelland smells like blood oranges. Duh.
- “Run like a normal person! Run like a normal person!” Tyra to Angelea.
- Lisa killed it at being creepy with Bellisima, the baby doll.
- Laura had to squirt whipped cream in her mouth—but not look sexual.
- Allison’s vampire eyes acted up again.
- In what can only be described as unfortunate, Tyra reenacted a scene from Modelland in which she sticks Tyson Beckford’s thumb in her mouth.
- We all realized that ANTM is actually just Tyra Banks’ live-action blog.
The Judgment
- Part one of the Modelland motion editorial aired. Doves cried.
- The judges must have blacked-out at some point, because they all agreed that Angelea did a great job.
- [Note to Nigel: please stop eye-humping the contestants. That is all.]
- Bottom two: Allison and Laura.
- Allison was told she needed to get her vampire eyes under control.
- Laura was scolded for being too sexy (whipped cream, people!).
- Deliberation lasted a record-breaking 1.5 hours.
- Laura was sent home and my friends and I brainstormed appropriate acts of rage just in case Angelea wins next week.
