We're Getting Nowhere: "America's Next Top Model" Episode 9.9

If you've needed to catch up on your sleep, the most recent ANTM offered a stellar opportunity. There was hardly any crying or fighting, and despite the proximity of pyrotechnics, the photo shoot was less than hot. The episode was just plain boring.

Nevertheless, there were some developments for us to discuss. Heather worked hard to maintain her composure in the face of criticism, Lisa tripped over her words on the runway, and Bianca struggled to keep her big mouth shut. Again. Most importantly, the models learned that they will soon be doing some international traveling! (Cue group squeal.)

In addition to the Heather/Bianca/Lisa drama, this week we discuss:

  • What happens when the models are forced to write and recite their own speeches on the runway
  • Why Heather, Lisa and Saleisha ended up bathing together in the ANTM communal shower
  • How Dara, Jill and I fared in our respective high school gym classes. I'm not even sure how we landed on this topic, but then we don't call this vlog We're Getting Nowhere for nothing!

Also, in another We're Getting Nowhere bonus feature, the "lost" ANTM contestants, Loquacious, Lorelai and Natalia, meet with FIDM students and inspire their original designs. (Though I'm not sure that "inspire" is really the best word to describe what those models do to those poor students.)

more. high school. PLEASE....

Karman, Dara, Jill - we all want your pics from hs, incl. a re-enactment of the jill towel scene w/the gym teacher..? just a thought...

... singing 'rudolph, the red nosed reindeer'!

TheWeyrd1's picture

Couldn't care less about ANTM...but LOVE you all

I only watch your Vlog's for YOU ALL... I need to go check the tshirt offerings again...I recall a "We're Getting Nowhere" tshirt... I just crack up so much from watching you guys get off topic (in fact, isn't that really the purpose of this vlog!?!) More. WGN. Naked.

 

PS... Jill, nice tat

Abana's picture

Nice tattoos, Jill!

You girls never fail to deliver. When I watched the ANTM episode I was wondering how you girls will work with this material. But you did. And great.

The talk about high school gym classes was hilarious. And Jill with the monkey :-) The off topic stuff is always the best.

 

And on a side note, I was hoping for a full re-enactment of the shower incident with Heather *just kidding*

 

The lost models were funny as usual. And nice tattoos, Jill!

ferpsi88's picture

LOL!

Oh my God, this weeks lost contestant video made me laugh soooooo hard.....that was awesome work. Not that I don't always laugh, but this one was hilarious...Seriously, i got tears in my eyes cause I laughed so hard. Keep up the amazing work:-)

hola... from argentina!

...i think you should talk about anything that you want... no one cares...  i guest that all of us want to laugh and see you and it doesnt matter what subjet you talk...

and it would be great that you talk about any show with lesbian material... here in argentina is very dificult to find shows or films,. is like we are not allowed to see anything, so, it would be great... for example, last monday they put the premiere of South of nowhere (first season), and it was very late, and no one know... so...  

anyway you are awasome!!!

love you guys!!!

Another winner

Great laughs from a horrible episode. You guys did it again. I loved the whole who would you eat that for riff, but I kept waiting for someone to bring up LeBron. :-) And yes we all hate BiJonca. She's still being a real Bunt.
chloe121212's picture

oh my god

 I soo thought Dara was going to say Lebron also

This is why!

This is why people think Lesbians are perverts,Because of GYM TEACHERS.Lurking around corners,peeking at you when your taking a shower,everyone on this blog probably has a story to tell (ok I need to get off this road).The Vblog this week was very good,Each week we all come here to be entertain and you guys successfully pull that off each week as a matter of fact,the more the show sucks, the more entertaining the vblog, so no need for sorry.Hey Jill say fashion show,How cute is this.
Vee's picture

Bitchanca!

I love it when you ladies get sidetracked and go into a discussion so far from the actual intent of this vlog :)

All my gym teacher were men, maybe if I had a woman I would have liked gym class a lot more. That would make an interesting vlog, an entire vlog devoted to High School. The only pictures I have from high school are my student cards and on some of them it looks like mug shots lol

Bitchanca... roflamo That's how I shall refer to her from now on, thanks Dara.

[as Jill tries to fish out something from her mout]

Dara- Hair?!

Karman- Shut up!

LMAO! Hilarious moment :)

That Pillsbury doughboy is one lucky thing ;)

Okay that whole eating cow balls convo was pretty eww. Now I love my girlfriend with all my heart and would do pretty much anything for her but ACTUALLY eating a penis and "nuts" is not one of them. Ewww.

When I saw the episode last wednesday I went looking for Heather's birthday, cause I was curious to know if she was the same fire sign as me (Sagittarius) and found out her birthday is April 11th so she's an Aries. I can't find the link where I found that bit of info though.

Awesome vlog as usual. Loved the "lost contestants" vid too. Jill doing a British accent? That's hot. Oh I notice things no matter how unsignificant they are but the back of Loquacious's hat strangely looked like Finland's flag :P

Nea's picture

What do you mean you

What do you mean you wouldn't eat that for me?

We're gonna talk about this later on, miss thing.
Vee's picture

Pssh!

You wouldn't either not even for me :)
Charlie's picture

Great recap :)

loved this recap. the show was so boring this week, but you ladies totally made up for it :)

Hehe! shower scene ! nuf said.


and Rachel Weisz... i'd definitely think twice. (but still no. eww.)

Karman - "take 'em to China and leave them there!"
i love Jill doing the English accent, *happy dance*

p.s i think when ANTM finishes
you should talk about random subjects,

like highschool /music / favorite apple juice bars ;)

well at least untill the L Word starts :)

Nea's picture

Hey Jillie...

Can you make that cute little monkey say "fashion show" with an English accent? :D

I demand more high school stories. I heart Karman. I was the artist (of which genre... nobody knows) back in high school, too, and skipped as many gym classes as possible without actually failing the class.

And how do you guys make the most mundane things sound like the best thing on earth? You could be reciting the phonebook and I would give you the "brilliant" bunny card...

Thanks again. And again. And again... :)
!Trashhh.'s picture

Wow =]

Jill, you in that hat doing a British accent was freaking HOT. Wow.

Awesome vlog yet again, I liked your stories about school. Jill's gym teacher seemed awful.

I'd do Rachel Weisz too. Yum.

You guys has me almost crying again, I love what you do.

Tash xx

High school...

I want to see dykie pictures of Dara from high school!  and speaking about gay gym teachers, I had one too! Mine was a bit different from your stories because he was a man and when I was in high school he was on the cover of QX (sort of like The Advocate in sweden) so he wasn't really closeted, but still a gay gym teacher!

 Loved the v-log as usual and I too am looking forward to you talking about a show with actual lesbian content!

Zleznjiyh's picture

QX

Your gym teacher was on the cover of QX? That is... ten kinds of awesome.
lesandre's picture

I know!

I know! He was so adorable, talking about his husband and stuff =)
Ladyhawk1709's picture

Awesome!

I was cracking up during the shower scene.. At first I was all like, uuu, they're in the shower... And then Dara showed up with a knife, I had to stop the video and rewind it, cause I was laughing for like 15 minutes... And maybe they should leave the contestant in the middle of nowhere, and make them find their way back, that would've been fun!

 Never had a lesbian gym teacher, but we did have a pervy guy... And I totally get that whole just look at nothing thing in the shower. I did it too.

 Excellent vlog people! Just excellent!

WGN, openin closets across the world....

Sooo, on monday night, i came out to my family and frends. :-) (Was it meant to be that hard tellin my parents?!? lol!) Im a 20yr old girl from a very small town in the UK and i dont mean to sound soppy, cheesy or pathetic and I know youv probably heard this story a thousand times but i just needed to leave a comment to thank you guys for doin these vlogs. Iv been watchin since the first SoN one and theyv kept me sane and tho theyr not the main reason, they did play a huge part in givin me the courage to realise, accept and finally, come out. Anyways, Il leave it there before i make every1 vomit but seriously, thank u....x x x

Heather's an aries?

I wouldn't have guessed it. Maybe it's her syndrome that throws it off the aries track. She is kinda brash and brutally honest tho, and thats definitely a trait, the one that gets me in the most trouble. :)
Pirategrrrl's picture

ha!

Me too ... 

that, and a terribly incurable sense of independence and rebelliousness.

And thus the whirligig of time brings in his revenges....

"Funny on so many levels"

(what everyone else said)

Dara: -CSI?!

Yeah, Karman, that is funny on so many levels. But do you know anything us mortals don't? (Oh I had to ask!)

I don't care what happened on ANTM. You guys are the reason I'd ever watch that show. =)

Oh I wish my gym teacher was gay! She was so hot. Hot!

yayyy

Rocky Mountain Oysters are considered a delicacy by some (not moi, though).

http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/RockyMtnOyster.htm

That said, you have put together yet another wickedly entertaining vlog, ladies! We had a gay gym teacher, it was sort of the unspoken secret at our high school until she got caught with the captain of the girls swim team.  Oy, the scandal!  It was a long time ago.

Dani's picture

I went to high school with heather

I remember heather from high school. I can't tell you her horoscope sign but she is the exact same way on the show as she was in high school. I remember her being a little more frumpy. She was really quiet and I remember talking to her once or twice in class but other than that she was extremely quiet. It's amazing to see how far she's come the past few years and I hope she continues to do well on the show.

Nelfy's picture

more highschool stories!!

as someone already mentioned, I too think you should just talk about random stuff!! I'd love that. and I want to see highschool pictures, please!! what would we have to do to show us some?? great vlog as usual!

and: all I can say is: wow, damn, Jill, you are hot!!

Awesome!

My god girls, that was classic, lol.
 
I loved Jill being spun around by Karman :P Fuunniii.
But the best was Jill pretending to turn herself yellow. for some reason that just cracked me up.
 
Well done girls! Keep it up! You guys ROCK!!

Edelweiss

Dara,

That is too funny.  Everytime I hear Rachel Weisz's name, I too break into the chorus from Edelweiss.

The female gym teachers at my high school dated each other and actually lived together.  My older sister (who is also gay) and I would go to their house to try to spy on them.  Good times...

Melissa Hsu's picture

Thanks!

That was not as hilarious as usually but very entertaining nevertheless and Karman....that hat looks really good on you!

Gym Teachers

My highschool gym teachers were a brother and sister from Newcastle, England named Mr. and Miss Bennett (what a coinkidink!). They were the coolest teachers in the entire school run by Irish Catholic nuns. Miss Bennett, now that I think about it, could have been gay.

High school pics and stories!

I'm not the biggest fan of ANTM, and this episode was really boring. But somehow, you guys managed to save it yet again!

Loved the monkey, Jill, it's adorable :P

Next time there's a boring episode, I say you should forget about recapping it and just tell stories. Your high school stories are a million times better than this entire episode of ANTM! And can we please get some high school photos?

I wish they had just left the girls in the desert, just to see what they would do. If they had made the whole episode just out of clips of that, it still would have been better.

your version was much better than the show...well the whole vlog is better than the show.  a naked shower scene on antm could have been magic.

Sneakers at work...

Dara I"m an OR nurse and we all wear sneakers or clogs or whatever at work along with those nice comfy pj's... er Scrubs. Not so bad at all!

Another fabulous Vlog. I think your talking was better than any episode you could recap. You have a great sense of humor and any stories you tell really hit the mark. Would love to be in on one of those sessions. Nice to see people having genuine fun!

It's like no one gets it. I think she was especially hot when she was toting a gun in Constantine. I tried to watch The Constant Gardener because she was in it, but it was super boring.

Dangit, too bad I can't lipread... I'm now wondering what Jill mouthed. Btw, your top misses one word, chica: calliente!
Is monkey going to make another guest appearance? Dara; Jill got her hand up its an*s *lol*

Please do an entire vlog on your high school stories! If you can talk almost half an hour about a boooooring ANTM epi, you'll have no trouble remeniscing high school :)

Btw I sometimes wear sneakers to work - and I work at *gasp* a district Juvy Court (the other side of the Atlantic, tho.)

Jill mouthed

I couldn't figure out what Jill mouthed about eating "Tull Besticles" when i first watched it, but i just re-watched it (the ANTM WGN's are my favourites by far except for when Liz guested!..) and I figured its something like "maybe if i got to have her in my mouth afterwards..." check it n see, i think im right, and it makes sense!

I dunno if anyone else has written it on here already..

It was pretty cute when Jill was playing with the clipboard when she was like ..."maybe for Rachel Weisz" and i was pretty happy cus I was thinking... "hmmm, maybe for Rachel Weisz" right beforehand.. great minds!

That Ilene Chaiken video is

That Ilene Chaiken video is a good idea! You should pitch it! I'm sure it would help people:p I totally agree about this episode. It made me almost fall asleep while watching... Bitchanca is a difficult issue. At a certain point I thought she was changing a bit, softened up, but then she's suddenly back to bein a bitch. I just don't get her... I'll stick to Bitchanca for that reason;)Btw: why is it that there's always a bitch, every season so far. It's like the makers do it on purpose the make the show more interesting... 

Hey, I am a watersign, what does that mean? I don't know anything about astrology... OMG! Chirpy (?) as the dragon is so cute! That Tyra called it a lion made me laugh so hard!! Oh and to make it clear: you guys rambling on about nonsense isn't boring. For some reason there is no way you can be boring... I wonder what it is.

Dara is so freaking cool

I love when you guys go off topic.

I'm apart of the generation where we didn't have to shower after gym. I was so glad that we didn't have shower but I think it shouldve been necessary for some kids. I think at the begininng each school year, all gym teachers should hand out mini deordorent sticks. I swear little boys can't smell themselves.

You three are the biggest teases ever!

Jill you looked so good in those glasses. Oh so wonderful.

You are so freaking smooth Karman.

The suckier the episode is the more creative you guys are. The dirtier the better! *sighs* I love you guys.
