Recapping "Top Model" 11.7 "The Fiercee Awards" in three lines or less

Unfortunately, schedule conflicts are preventing Stacie Ponder from recapping the rest of America's Next Top Model this season.

So I'm going to recap tonight's episode for you — using only three lines of (fake) dialogue.

First, here's the official episode description:

Tyra surprises the remaining girls with a one-on-one photo shoot to teach each girl how to find their most flattering pose. Back in the house, some girls question whether or not they have the look and drive to continue in the competition. This week’s photo challenge takes the girls to Los Angeles’ famous Orpheum Theatre, where they show off their best backstage award show snafu pose. The ladies do their best to replicate being caught in the restroom as well as revealing raw emotions during a phony acceptance speech. After the judges deliberate, one girl is sent home.

Now here's my recap:

MARJORIE: Awkward moments are my specialty!
ELINA: Must. Show. My. Emotions.
SHEENA: In the bottom two with Lauren Brie? Oh for hizzle! I better show my personality next time, yo.

Now it's your turn — give us your take on the episode, in three lines or less (it's harder than it looks!).

And with only a handful of models left, let us know who you think will be [cue the fierce music] America's. Next. Top. Model!

    I want Elina to win..as to

    I want Elina to win..as to who i think will win though, I have no idea.
    GustavChristoff's picture

    how about this...

    Marjorie: I'm a hunchback, and I gotta go!
    Tyra: I love it, Lauren Brie not so much.
    Lauren Brie: Wasn't I supposed to float?

    or how about:

    Elina: I had to cry, and it wasn't even for Tyra, lame.
    Tyra: Not enough emotion, but you're pretty.
    Paulina: you get my fake-pity smile.

    Blah

    I found it annoying how Lauren Brie had amaaaaaazing photos up until this ONE...and she was still sent home. That's rediculous 

     

    -----------
    You're Everywhere to me.

    Agreed

    I completely agree. Lauren Brie (why is she the only girl who gets a surname? Did I miss something?) has had the best photos almost every week, whilst others like Sheena and Annaleigh have yet to produce a single photo that looks halfway professional. Hmm!

    She did have great photos.

    She did have great photos.

    But she had the personality of a saltine cracker. Either that or some very unfortunate editing. Unfortunately top model is about the whole package and not just the photographs.

    Well my 2nd favorite

    Got sent home last night. I was hoping she would be in the final to with Elina. If Elina don't win  its anoter Trya mistake. I dont think none of the winners have ever made it big other then 1 or 2. But yea I want Elina to win.

    PS: there was a redhead that won a few years back I believe! Does anyone remember what her name was and if she has done anything since the show?

    Yay for Marjorie winning

    Yay for Marjorie winning the challenge AND best photo! I know her awkwardness makes her chances of winning the whole thing pretty slim, but she'll always be #1 in my heart. Analeigh is also incredibly adorable and together, those two are almost (but not quite) too much adorable-ness in one place. However, since "adorable" doesn't tend to win modeling contests, my guess is that McKey will win. She's been the most consistet this season and has a really interesting face. 

    But I welcome the opportunity to be proven wrong and find Marjorie standing as the victor at the end.

    Totally Agree

    OMG I love Marjorie, I don't know what it is but she gets me with her adorable awkwardness everytime!

    Ps. Love the Architecture in Helsinki avatar they're one of my favs.

    I thought she deserved to win

    Many people I talked to did not believe that she deserved to win. But I loved her. I thought Whitney was gorgeous and that she took great pictures. Plus I just think there needs to more more curvacious girls in the media to show young girls that you do not have to starve yourself to look pretty.

    She took OK pictures

    Withney took OK pictures and had a very annoying personnality

    I don't think she deserved to win

    On the other hand NIK PACE from CYCLE 6 should have win over Nicole!! 

    OUH LA LA

    I Caught fire's picture

    Marjorie gets her deserved

    Marjorie gets her deserved wins and some more self-confidence.
    Lauren Brie's lack of personality catches up with her.
    Joslyn manages to coast by since others just suck less.

    I Caught fire's picture

    I am also placing my bets

    I am also placing my bets on McKey.
    She's my favorite and is the most well-rounded.

    Analeigh is quite adorable but that won't be enough...
    Marjorie is also adorable but I'm not sure she's fluent enough to be able to do commercials or speak in general...
    Elina is too much of a control freak.
    The rest of them aren't really all that memorable to me.

    Been saying....

    ....since day one that mckey was the one to beat and that it would be her and sam, but the curse of the blondes would give mckey the win, glad to see others are startin to get there w/me!

    our bi ukrainian bombshell...

    I WANT ELINA TO WIN PLEAAAAAAASSEEEEEE last episode she was hanging by a thin string because... whatever they were trying to pull off by that photoshoot... (her rol was supposed to be an over emotional actrees accepting the fiercee award... actually she didn't look over emotional. I mean.. she said that she came from Ukraine when she was about 8 years old and that Europeans simply don't show that much of emotions.. and that it is unacceptable.. (and also I'm part european and I show emotions a lot hehehe but then again I wasn't raised in Europe) but there.. we have our other European bombshell.. ah oui oui mademoiselle Marjorie... notre mademoiselle française.... and she's a ball of awkwardness and emotion.. what's up with that... Elina better bring it on the next photoshoot because she is hanging thin there.. and I HOPE she wins!!!!! For me it's between Elina of course and Mckey.. which I think is strong looking and cool...

    I want Elina and Mckey

    I want

    McKey to win! I'm really glad they sent Lauren Brie home. I couldn't stand her. Did anyone else think it was funny when she said that Marjorie and Annaleigh were the couple of the house? I was like hmmmmm... I sort of remember you and Clark being attached to the hip when she was there. I really did not like her attitude. All I can remember about her is how she was always talking badly about the other girls (especially Iris). I didn't find her to be that beautiful either. She just seemed like every other girl that I see everyday. The other girls have a unique beauty to them. Especially McKey lol.

    For ME

    I was a fan of Elina from the first show B4 she came out. Now that she is out I really want her to win.

    elina is hawtttt elina

    elina is hawtttt
    elina looks hawt when she is crying
    i think elina should win :D

    yes she's so hot she gets a "w" in there
    ahaha

    okay seriously

    suprisingly there is no one i really hate this cycle, though majorie is starting to get on my nerves a bit but she does take a good picture. I thought they didn't pick elina's best picture, they didn't they show one of her REALLY in tears?

    Acidian's picture

    Marjorie j'adore

    Kyphosis and Urination excelled for Marjorie

    Elina needs to turn her control barrier down

    Lauren Bire learns that one can't defy the laws of gravity

    --------------------------------------------

    I really like Marjorie this season. I can relate the the mousyness and the emotionalness (and yes, I'm European. I am overly emotional and here in Europe for some reason we tend to be more insecure). From the first episode on I started like Marjorie more and hope she can make it far.

    I thought the whole Lauren Brie comment about then being a couple and then actually showing them together was adorable >_<

    Analeigh is adorable too. Her voice is a bit too soft at times and I start drifting somewhere else when I hear it at times. Too cute!! >_<

    Apart from that I really like Sam. In the confessions, her wierd faces and gestures and she is being edited like a really fun and nice girl.

    Of course I cannot not mention Elina. It is good to be in control but unless she wants to continue she has got to let the control go (at least partially). Not cause being a control freak is bad but because Tyra will eventually use it as an excuse to send her home. <_<

    Cycle 11 adds on to my best cycles list (together with Cycle 5 and Cycle 7)

    Team Elina

    Although I love Majore and she takes magnificant pictures, and McKey also takes great photos, the only one that screams model to me is Elina. She's just got that model essence about her. She has such amazing features and is just as stunning even when shes not all done up.
    Paperback-Writer's picture

    No more recaps?! Aw,

    No more recaps?! Aw, shucks.

    I so grinned a little when Lauren mentioned the whole "house couple" thing with Analeigh and Marjorie, especially since Marjorie looks a little gay.

    Analeigh is gorgeous, I don't care what Lauren (expected her), Elina (lost major points), and Marjorie (you don't talk crap about your spouse) said. Analeigh looked like a model to me. She's the underdog, but that doesn't mean she's crap. At least she was mentioned.

    What was it they said in grades school? It feels better to be ragged on than to be completely ignored? Sometimes thou dost protest too much.

    I'm so glad Elina broke down. Good for her. I think she'll realize how much better she'll feel. Although, hey, if you need a shoulder to cry on....or if you feel like have control all the time, I certainly would be fine being controlled anywhere ;)

    Very cool she's ukranian. I wonder if she can speak it? Just wondering, because its ridiculous that when Marjorie appears out comes the accordians and the "j'adore" "merci" "baquet", while Elina had essentially the same god damn life (hello? didn't they both come to america around 8-9ish?

    Some of Tyra's Mistakes....

    i gotta say...

     PREVIOUS ANTM WINNERS and some of tyra's mistakes...  

    first on cycle 4, i wanted Kahlen to win, but they chose naima insted... on cycle 6, Everyone knows how good Joanie poses and her personality was just.. great!! but tyra chose Daniel and she's just.. OK... nothing special... On cycle 7, i really dont understand why they eliminated Aj earlier in the competition... she should at least be in the top 3 or somthing.... anyway on cycle 8, there were alot of goregous contestants, it's like the best cycle.., i still dont understand why tyra eliminated Renee for being old... i mean, she was 24 then... how can that be old, and besides, she takes really fierce photos... seriously... Oh and.. Samantha was really pretty btw... but got eliminated really earily... cause she was so conservative... but anyway, moving on to cycle 10, cause cycle 9 was boring, nothing much to talk about. so.. on cycle 10... what's up with MARVITA?! why is she even IN?!! seriously... oh and.. i still can't believe that whitney won... i mean.. she was just.. "OK"... she' playing safe!! it would be better if it was anya or katarzyna who won... anyway, it's all just my opinion.. i restpect your opinion, i just don't want to hear it!

     

    anyway, if Elina or Marjorie will NOT win, then that is gonna be a Big mistake... just like the time when they sent Lauren Brie home!!!
