This week is was sad to see Natalie get sent home and mostly because she was so good lookin!  But we all know that you will not be a model just because you are pretty.  When the judges went through ther photos, they all looked the SAME.  I am not sure why I didn’t see that the first time around, but she really only had ONE look.  We know the judges hate that, so she was sent home.  My predictions were wrong, again, but I think I have next week pegged!  Let’s move on.

The Challenge

Now that the models are in Brazil, they got to see some of the sites, but as soon as they got off the plane, it was challenge time.  The models were taught a thing or two, but first they had to collect flowers from a shop and delivery them to the Botanical Gardens.  With the girls teamed up and address in hand, they rushed to a cab and proceeded to race to the flower shop.  After a little back and forth and when all is said and done, Natalie and Fo where the winners.

There was a second challenge, which was a photo shoot involving Capoeira.  This was to teach the models how to move and there were to pose at the same time.  The models didn’t do all that great, well, accept Fo of course.  Teyona really didn’t grasp the whole concept and her photo looked like crap.  I think she has over stayed her welcome., but what do I know.  Needless to say, Fo won this competition and she was able to gain 50% more photos, by taking them away from someone else.

Can you guess who she chose?  Yup, Teyona and man was she pissed.  Fo felt slighted in last weeks challenge, but Teyona made it 110% clear as mud that she was not upset to have 50% less frames.

The Photo Shoot

The shoot was centered around the chiquita banana lady.  The models had fruit hats and were staged in parts of Brazil that resembled a certain poor quality of life.  With make up on and lighting natural, the models tried their best to give the impression they were the chiquita banana lady, without doing exactly that.  I know, I was just as confused and it sucks because Fo was just as confused and ended up having a real bad shoot, even with extra frames.

Allison, on the other hand, did awesome and for once, she didn’t look like a doll froma horror film with her mouth wide open.  It was nice to see a good shot of her for a change and, she was the number one photo of the week.

In the Mean While

All Natalie did since arriving in Brazil was complain.  She acted like being in the hottest location for models was no big deal and really just wanted to find a pool.  This and that was annoying her and even when she was being critiqued for her poor photo performance, she blamed it all on Jay who “told her everything looked great”.  That was sad and I think that her arrogance really was showing at that point.  Oh well, she had a shot, but now we are down to 5 models.

Bottom 2 Prediction for Next Week:  Allison & Aminat (again)
