Puzzle Me
Pretty
October 14
Last time, the models met
the hosts, and four of them went home, two for being too dumb, and two
for not strutting their stuff. The challenge continues with 12 smart
models...
Morning after, and if you
really want to go to the bathroom, then decipher THIS: MDCLXVI. Correct:
1666. You can go pee now.
Meanwhile, downstairs,
Jesse, after taking flack for not having a toned core, is hitting the
gym. The gym looks like it's hitting back.
Every day, Mary Alice sends
the models a "note du jour" to explain what the next challenge is.
"Knowledge is power. In today's Edge Challenge, what you know will bring
you great rewards." The models are divided into teams...
Pickel & Aussie Rachael
Andre & Lisa
Brett & Angela
Jesse & Erika
VJ & Blonde Rachel
Daniel & Mandy Lynn
"Mary Alice, can you repeat
the question? Mandy Lynn's boobs were staring at me." Yeah... they're...
staring at us, too... Through a black box. Damn you, VH1.
All over the house, an hour
of power cramming commences. The only thing is, there is one
encyclopedia in the entire house, and VJ & Rachel are bogarding it.
Edge Challenge: Puzzle Me
Pretty
The prize for this game
show? Clothes... makeup... accessories... and basically an EDGE for you
to use in the callback challenge later, a photo shoot. And yes, this is
a total Jeopardy! rip, in that a) the questions are arranged in groups
of categories and b) the easy ones are worth less (fishnet stockings,
hair accessories, and breast cutlets to name a few), whilst the harder
ones are worth things like a make-up artist, a full rack... of clothes,
twice as many shots, a VO5 hair stylist (yay, product placement), and a
chance to steal an item from another team.
Oh and the items won today
will be the only things that will be used in the challenge. Simply put,
win nothing... pose butt-ass naked, or as Ben would put it... "No
clothes, no props, no dignity... NOTHING."
The categories are...
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
WHAT DOES IT STAND FOR?
BEFORE I WAS BORN
PRESIDENTIAL FASHION
WHERE IN THE WORLD
HOMOPHONIA
Prizes...
Pickel & Aussie Rachael:
Dr./nurse's outfits, hair products, make-up artist, blow dryer/curling
iron, box of shoes
Andre & Lisa: lingerie, box of props, lipstick, cosmetics kit
Brett & Angela: chair/table, flowers
Jesse & Erika: body paint, full-size bed
VJ & Blonde Rachel: Western wear, fishnet stockings
Daniel & Mandy Lynn: VO5 hair stylist, a full rack of clothes, ladder
So VJ and Rachel are left
with ... not much. But what they have, they're using. And that's good.
Andre and Lisa, on the other hand... they can't help but fighting. Andre
thinks he's better than everyone (mainly because of the results of the
challenge), but Lisa is stressing chemistry.
The next morning, the models
were supposed to be up bright and early. Key words: supposed to. Mary
Alice has to go out and wake them up herself. They meet outside and are
given terry-cloth robes. THAT... is all that they're given for the
Callback Challenge. And to even out any advantages that some
pre-primping may have given, we're all going swimming.
Callback Challenge:
Photo Shoot.
World-renowned photographer
Robert Erdmann is going to shoot you. The best pictures will be allowed
to have a callback. Shoot the worst? You may be shot on sight by Ben's
razor tongue.
Mandy Lynn's confident that
she's coming out of this with a callback. VJ & Rachel have a hard
time... a VERY hard time... hiding the fact that there may be something
something going on.
Some spot assessments:
- Looks like the chemistry
was good for Pickel and Aussie Rachel, despite her hogging the camera.
- VJ & Rachel had ... chemistry. Heh.
- Andre is calling all the shots for Lisa.
- Robert spends too much time on Mandy Lynn. And her boobs.
- Brett & Angela go with color as opposed to black and white.
- Robert wants to see less of the bed and more of Jesse. Big trouble for
Jesse.
And Andre will continue to
deny being "difficult". Oh please, you're a perfectionist... A perfect
diva is more like it.
All the photos were good,
though. BUT... there has to be a but... Daniel & Mandy Lynn did not have
a good picture. Jesse & Erika... had the WORST picture. Erika's boring
and Jesse's fat. That's not good.
The callback goes to...
Pickel & Rachael. It was between them and Andre & Lisa. And, ... well,
let's have Mary Alice talk about it...
"It's a strong photograph,
but I would never pick a photograph that promotes violence or violence
against women. You were strangling her with the pearls, and ultimately,
that is not an image I would want to promote."
Daniel is still thinking
about his "stiffness". Andre is still thinking about his "violence". He
expected far more than "safe".
Elimination
We've had teams of two, but
in the end, only one will go home tonight. It won't be Rachel. It won't
be Pickel.
On the block: Erika & Jesse
and Daniel & Mandy Lynn. Daniel is smart and gorgeous, but had a bad
day. He needs to use his brains to become a better model. He'll be back
to try again, though. Mandy Lynn was pathetic at the quiz, but she takes
direction well. Hopefully, she'll dye her hair before next round.
Which leaves Erika & Jesse.
Neither cut it. Jesse is smart, but is he a model? Erika needed to work
high heels 24/7. She's just seeing them tonight. That, and the
appearance of not caring... means that.. "like the conventional paradigm
in the pre-Copernican era of geocentric cosmology... you have been
invalidated." Jesse is still safe, but he is on that treadmill tomorrow
at 8am.
The competition is tough...
and it's going to get tougher, as 11 models remain in the hunt for $100K
and the title of America's Most Smartest Model... but not before we eat
some cake. Yum. |
