The
girls break out some serious crazy tonight.
I’m talking change-of-personality crazy. No, not just
Drunk Lisa versus Sober Lisa. It’s much worse than that.
Early
in the episode, Jayla takes off her happy mask and tells
us that she will claw her way to the top if that’s what
it takes. What happened here? I thought Jayla was the
good-natured, Rachel Dratch-y party girl. One good haircut
seems to have pushed her into the land of hateful.
Coryn
reminds us that she can’t stand Lisa and is counting
on her elimination from the show. “She thinks she knows
everything. I’m hoping she goes.” Kim notes, “Lisa needs
to be the center of attention.” Not like Kim herself.
Or the rest of them, for that matter.
Kyle
chimes in, even if more discreetly, “There’s something
weird about Lisa but I can’t put my finger on it.” Cut
to Lisa stumbling around in their backyard drunk, wearing
only some bath bubbles and a cowboy hat, slurring, “I
don’t understand why I don’t have any friends.”
Evil
Jay arrives unannounced (rude!) and presents
a dazzling array of food items in their kitchen. No,
it’s not a cook-off, it’s a skincare workshop—hosted
by supermodel/rock-wife Iman! She is here to tell the
girls that skin care will be the key to their success,
and that some of the best skin care products can be
found right here in the kitchen! However, in real life,
there is no way that Iman is making facial masks out
of her own leftovers. Iman reminds me of a reserved,
unapproachable Tyra. (Iman would not make a fake Top
Model audition tape of herself dancing around in
someone’s backyard in Inglewood. No, that is all
Tyra.)
As
Iman spouts earth-mama sounding advice about vegetables
and skin care and inner beauty, the girls rub the food
all over their faces. This works better with avocado
and lemons than some of the other more questionable
ingredients. I don’t know what Kim slathered all over
herself, but it looks likes like Lisa got trashed and
threw up on her face.
Of
course, the real point of this little potluck is that
it will segue into the next challenge. The girls are
going to be spokesmodels for a banana-honey skin product.
They’ll be given some talking points and are expected
to memorize and use them in a sales pitch for the product.
Inexplicably,
Tyra has hired “stand-up comedian extraordinaire” Chris
Spencer to hear the girls pitch the product and to judge
the challenge. I don’t know why they bothered to hire
a comic when he isn’t even funny. Unless you think it’s
funny when jerky guys interrupt women in order to talk
about themselves.
As
the other girls make their pitches, Lisa tells us that
she has her lines down and feels really confident about
this challenge--which is what Lisa always says. I feel
confident that by the end of the day Lisa will be getting
smashed in the hot tub and the other models will still
hate her.
Comic
Spencer finds Jayla “boring” (i.e. she didn’t
laugh at his unfunny jokes), but Kyle flirts with him
makes a good pitch. Despite having her lines “down,”
Lisa references ingredients that aren’t even in the
product. When she realizes that she is starting to
crash and burn, she jumps up and does some “sexy” dancing
for Spencer. Spencer doesn’t seem to notice that Lisa
has wandered into Anna Nicole Smith territory, he just
finds her “too cocky” (i.e. she had some self-esteem).
Kim
is busted for having a cheat sheet--the talking points
are written on her palm of her hand! Hey, is this how
she got through Wesleyan?
