America's Next Top Model

This week the girls learned about acting. They were taken to a grand place with a gorgeous staircase. It looked like an old fashioned theater. Anyways, actress Tia Mowry walked down those stairs to greet them. She told them that the point of acting is being able to play different roles no matter what your personality is. The girls were told to get a hat and become the person it represents. Everyone actually did a good job. I think it's fun to act, I loved it in grade school. After their lesson they went to test their skills with actor Efren Ramirez. They were given three specific characters: the over-dramatic one, the diva witch, and the perky one. It was pretty funny watching the girls prance around the stage being the perky one and it was all very dramatized, especially when the girls were being over dramatic which is fine, because it's acting. I honestly don't know why I stopped acting. I was pretty good at it and I loved being on stage and making everyone laugh. Oh the glory days...

Well, Renee won the challenge and she picked Dionne as her friend for their prizes. They got T-shirts and they were both like "okay, is this it?" I didn't think that would be it, but then it went to the next scene and I was really starting to believe that that was the only thing they were getting. Tyra did something really special, though. Both Renee and Dionne have a family and Tyra brought them to the mansion. There were lots of tears of joy and it was really beautiful. I just felt horrible for Natasha, though, because since she didn't win and wasn't picked as the friend, she didn't get to see her baby and husband. She was so crushed. I would have been too, it was seriously so sad.

The girls then got a surprise shoot. I love it everytime the show says this. Every shoot is going to be a surprise for them morons...they're not told beforehand what they're doing any week. Well, the "surprise" was the models from previous seasons. The girls were going to be acting out those model's most outrageous moments in the series. I'm beginning to like Natasha and I really hoped that the shock of not seeing her family the previous day wouldn't affect her shoot. I had the feeling it would, though. She definitely proved me wrong. She had one of the best shoots, which was pretty cool. Dionne did very well too and of course, Brittney. Jael needs to step it up for me. She's my favorite character but she's starting to lag a bit. I've been really surprised with Renee too. I couldn't even stand looking at her and hearing her voice, but she was actually trying this episode to have a better attitude and I think seeing her family helped a ton. I hope she continues and really learned her lesson.

I'm really sad that Whitney was the one who was sent home. Yes, she wasn't doing such a very good job, but I always feel like the plus-size girls (she was a friggin' size 8--not plus) are like charity cases. You know they're never going to win, and that they're not even really going to go very far, competing against the other girls.

I think maybe there needs to be an America's Next Top Plus-Size Model show all on its own, that helps the girls learn about the special difficulties of being a plus size model.

I agree, and I know, I'm a size 9...but I just don't think Whitney has what it takes to be a model, plus-size or not. I agreed with the judges on that one.
