We're Getting Nowhere: "America's Next Top Model" Episode 9.6

This week on ANTM (Episode 9.6), something unprecedented occurred. [Spoiler alert!!] And no, it was not a thoughtful discussion between the contestants about the problematic nature of accurate representation on reality television. The twist was that when Ambreal and Ebony found themselves in the bottom two and Ebony was spared, she quit the show anyway! Whaaaaat? Quit? Would you be surprised to know that Tyra hates quitters? Neither were we.

This week, we discuss:

  • The universal appeal of Tyson Beckford (1 out of 3 lesbians agree!)
  • What (extra virgin) olive oil, caulk and kiełbasa have in common
  • Why spokesmodels shouldn't have to write their own scripts

Also, in another We're Getting Nowhere bonus feature, we'll see a very special PSA from the "lost" ANTM contestants, Loquacious, Lorelai and Natalia. How does one turn public service into an opportunity for fisticuffs? Watch and learn.

    Dara....you have such....

    Deceptively large "guns"...and kinda sexy too...
    very sleepy marissa's picture

    I've got a crush...

    ...on mischievous Dara.

    I love the instances where you pipe up with a comment that's -totally- wrong, (horse movies?) that elicits everyone to pause for a second, their eyes as wide as dinner plates. O.O

    And your smug, self-satisfied chesire cat smile at that instant. ^_^

    Adore the dimples.

    I wouldn't say that you have an accent, but it seems, sometimes, that you may have the habit of over-enunciating your words.

    Phoenix21's picture

    I agree

    I am in love with Dara. And I gotta say she is hot as a butch. I don't really go for butch either, but DAMN!!!

    ...

    Wow. very sleepy marissa, you just helped me articulate that.

    Perfectly put.

    wow

    You know its actally kinda sad the fact i just watched that, its 2am here in sydney, i have to work at 7, and the new season of ANTM isnt even on yet. 
    BUT ITS SO WORTH IT
    love you, love everything about you, planning on being you next halloween.... maybe not.

    Dara..those arms...woah im not sure if i should be atracted or intimidated...but then again you and tyson DID have a lot of chemistry...not as much as you and karman tho (kinda disturbing, but o so amusing)

    good work guys, once again.
    see ya next week,
    same bat time, same bat channel!

    I'm sure of which option I'd

    I'm sure of which option I'd choose on the attracted or intimidated issue. I find Daras guns just plain hot and her accent is cute. I think I am biased though. She had me in her maniacal fan base from the moment she mentioned 'Everybody Poops'.

    Seriously, the Karman on "Tyson" action was just plain weird. It's like watching your cousins kiss...

    Great job on the blog! Karman needs to shock Jill more often her "thinking of Tyson" face was priceless.

    Haha I saw the book in Steve Carell's new film:

    At times it was

    At times it was uncomfortable for me to watch because Jill was so drunk, I kind of felt sorry for her girlfriend.

    Anyways, I think this is the last vblog for me. Best of luck to all of you!

    Considering...

    ... the hours these girls apparently put into this specific vlog, you'd think anyone would get a little giggly and giddy and not necessarely drunk. Just saying.

    Go Jillie B!

    Chief Vitalstatistix's picture

    Agree

    I agree. They didn't seem drunk to me, just giddy and tired.
    jennifer from pittsburgh's picture

    huh?

    I'm having a 'huh?' moment. She didn't seem drunk to me at all. I mean, drunk is the old lady at the liquor store getting all hysterical because of the recent Big Foot sighting. That's drunk.
    gali's picture

    Huh indeed!

    well, clearly her girlfriend is suffering tremendously! I mean she already let known as much.

    I say let's start a support group for Jill Bennett 's girlfriend! :)

     

    "call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"

    fiddy's picture

    HA! I'm all for the group if I

    I'm all for the group if I get to makeout with Jamie, erm I mean comfort her ! ;)
    jennifer from pittsburgh's picture

    I meant to reply to this

    I meant to reply to this earlier but I was rolling pennies. The thing is, a support group is supposed to be supportive and I see me mostly being an asshat. So there's that. Then, there's the whole thing about how there's a court order barring me from being in charge of anything until 2010. Just a misunderstanding between me and the Rainbow Coalition, but still.
    gali's picture

    :)

    Naturally since I came up with the idea I'd be the one in charge so you wouldn't really be defying the court order J.!

    And F. since I'd be in charge I was thinking that'd be my role ;)

    But it being a group we should all be willing to go the distance! :)

     

    "call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"

    fiddy's picture

    LOL

    So you're in charge? That worked out very nice for you :D It was my plan to makeout with Jamie and make it all better, so it's not fair!

    Maybe we can swap sometimes? ;)

    gali's picture

    Hey, may the most comforting

    Hey, may the most comforting comforter win! ( I am pretty confident ;))

    Cocky,ey?:p I got mad skillz.  I'm very good at "comforting", so bring your best game sister:D

    I know you guys are only

    I know you guys are only kidding but its still kind of creepy to discuss making out with people's girlfriends, its not like you are talking about charecters on a show or something.
    gali's picture

    Hey!

    Naturally we were kidding but also I was talking of comforting myself and it was actually all meant in sarcasm as a response to somebody making a really personal remark! Sorry if you didn't get that part. It was in fact a joke about the FICTIONAL characters of Jill the alcoholic and Jamie the long suffering girlfriend.

    Even so, maybe if you watched all the vlogs you'd find they are making the same jokes themselves so I do not think either Jamie or Jill were "creeped out" themselves. I presume...them being adults they would have let us know if they were.

    However...just in case they were... I apologise for any "creeping out" of either of them, to them!

    And I think it is a bit silly of you to come with this comment this long after the fact especially since clearly the joke has long been discontinued. But rejoice!!! another 5 points for you.

     

    "call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"

    lushbliss's picture

    humm didnt mean for it to

    humm didnt mean for it to turn into an issue. I agree with you on the initial "personal remark" and fully understand the sarcasm but, personally I just thought it was a touch weird. Being that I dont know any of them I cant speak for what they think...so I wont. I watch all the Vlogs and hear the jokes and could care less about points, so apolgies if I stepped on any toes. I certianly didnt intend for you feel the need to defend yourself.
    gali's picture

    "being that I don't know

    "being that I don't know any of them I cant speak for what they think"

    But you did, didn't you? And if you say to someone their comments are "creepy" you are making an issue out of it and yes, I will feel the need to defend myself.

     

    "call me old fashioned but I prefer feminism that leaves a little something to the imagination!"

    lushbliss's picture

    mmm youre funny, you

    mmm youre funny, you apologized to them and if you thought you hadnt done anything you shouldnt have felt the need to do so. Honestly, in light of recent "events"...

    Im not going to respond to whatever sassy comment you decide to make so go to town if you feel the need.

    gali's picture

    Haha...me apologising just

    Haha...me apologising just means I am polite enough to realise different people have different sensibilities and that I care enough about not accidentally hurting someone's feelings to apologise just in case I did! To the people concerned I mean...not the ones( you) who feel the need to be "troubled" in other people's places.

    I have no idea what recent events you are alluding to but kudo's to you for your attempt at a "graceful" exit! :)

    Sobriety

    Hey everyone-- Thank you all for your concern, but let me assure you that we were not drunk when we shot our video blog. Sadly, that's just how we are--even when we're sober.
    Nea's picture

    Hey...

    Lose the "sadly" - you are absolutely amazing as you are. Don't apologize.

    :)

    No need to apologize to

    No need to apologize to someone who obviously has a stick up their ass.

    fexy lifps n dry drunkeness

    for the Karman Kregloe Appreciation Soc.: KARMAN - your "disturbing" Tyson sequence is disturbingly hoooooooottttt!!!!!!!!!! Love you!!!

    And no worries about lisps n stuff. it's just cool with you and fits you good. (mind you - when i was at my early teens, i was supposed to go to therapy for it etc... but i always refused.. no need of those green peops.. and now i am even quite decent at vo-recordings in the studio :-))

    plus - even if all of you had been a little drunk (no mean implications intended 'tho - what the f*ck!) at the recording... after 5 hrs +.... châpeau to all of you for your stamina to keep it up... technical problems are sooo fatiguating! (ps: we all drink at parties - so what the heck's  wrong with being funny for a vlog???? c'mon to those watching guys - there's nothing wrong with that..!!! I even considered having a little drink for inspiration before i took my 4 hrs A-level essay in literature - but didn't cause it was in the morining :-))).

    LOVE YOU GUYS - GREAT WORK, Karman, Dara, Jill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep going!!!

    No Apologies Necessary

    I love you all just the way you are. I didn't think you acted any differently than you had in the prior Vlogs, which have proved to be very popular with many of the folks here. So it isn't everyone's cup of tea. I wouldn't have you, Jill, or Dara any other way.

     Ditto what Vee said.

    Absolutely NOOO apology

    Absolutely NOOO apology needed! Sobriety as great as it is.. I in my own way am hoping/praying you guys have fun (which if you ask me requires a lot of the time a tad bit of indulgence ((drinking)) esp. when your working.. Which is totally and absolutely accepted. If you don't drink, don't watch. Get a life first, and when you do. Tune back in.

     From a regular (everyday) user of AfterEllen and devoted watcher of the "We're Getting Nowhere" vlog. I say.. You're all amazing and you three are the reason for my obsession with this site. Thanks for everything

    Jill again.. You're amazing. You're very witty and if you don't mind me saying.. drop dead sexy! I'm constantly entertained and in love with you guys!

    That was such a rude

    That was such a rude comment, seems to me like there is a bit of anger or perhaps jeolousy behind that comment.

    I thought you girls were awesome as usual, keep up the hilarity :D

    fiddy's picture

    I think you're very right

    I think you're very right about the jealousy bit.  It's like someone already said, that poster gives off Bianca vibes, when you're insecure and miserable in your own life you try to sting at others who have everything you want to have. Friends, beautiful gf, job, etc..
    Jaded4204's picture

    More Jill Drunk. PLEASE!!!

    I kinda feel sorry for you right now(Monte). Really, grow up.. It's a damn funny lesbian vlog. And it's freakin awesome.. How many other of those do you know of? This Vlog has devoted weekly watchers. That love, and adore each of the women that do it. Get freakin real.. you're obviously not a regular watcher of the "Terrible Three" blog. We don't need/want negative comments here. Thanks!

     Jill I LOVE YOU!! You are GREAT! Even when your a little on the tipsy side. I actually enjoy it must that way. I envy Jamie.. Oh SOO much!

     Karman and Dara. You guys are amazing! You crack me up.

     GREAT VLOG! GREAT EVERYTHING! Love it every week

    gali's picture

    Respectfully

    Have to distance myself from any remarks made concerning "negative" comments here!

    Personally I have no problem with critical remarks. ;)

    Only with inappropriate negative remarks. I mean, I feel Monte has the right to think Jill was drunk and she has the right to have a problem with this and say so!

    Personally I only had a problem with her remark on the relationship between Jill and her girlfriend! Think it was inappropriate.

    But I think it is equally inappropriate to say "we don't need/want negative comments here"! At the very least please don't speak for "us" when you state "your" opinion.

    oh, go on with the lisps and

    oh, go on with the lisps and the accents. I get through deathly boring days with the help of accents and lisps. Karman, will you say "She sells seashells by the seashore" next week? just for your obsessive fans?

    That was AWESOME. I think I'm gonna be Natalia next Halloween. Haha!

    You three never fail to crack me up. And Jill, you're the funniest person. Like, ever. I adore you!

    Keep it up you guys, I love what you do and you make all of us smile.

    mel brooks rocks! i love dara and karman's obscure references...glad i'm not the only one who gets them...

     also, who cares if they are "under the influence"? they're still funny! and if i was hanging out with my friends doing something fun and creative for 5 hours, you better believe i'd be having a cocktail or two, or three, or...

    I think a rousing rendition of 'Puttin' on the Ritz' is in order

    It'd go with the accent tomfoolery.

     Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper..

    THOOPA DOOPA!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who occasionally says "Blucher!" for the inevitable reaction.

    love Young Frankenstein

    I couldn't stop laughing when Dara and Karman kept cracking each other up, and Jill was trying to be all serious and move the vlog along.  Too funny!
