The Girl Who Kissed A Male Model

America's Next Top Model - Season 6, Episode 5

Tonight's all about the poses. In a modeling competition? Shut the fuck up! First, a double team of Janice and Fugly Lisa educate the girls on editorial poses versus commercial poses. Janice totally plays Gina like a violin, tricking her into trashing Jade, then yelling at her for it. Awesome. Speaking of Gina, she continues her uninterrupted reign of sucking, but now she's got a handy excuse: Jade. Jade is mean to her, so that must be why Gina's not performing well in the competition. Wow, I didn't know Jade had the power to make other people ugly and stupid. That's uncanny.

The first challenge is a quick change and "commercial" pose representing each of the four seasons. Gina and Brooke are horrible as always. Sarah and Nnenna are terrific, the latter winning the challenge. What does she win? A bunch of clothes from Sears. Um, nice. Later, we get a tiresome Tyra-as-Oprah moment which are coming fast and furious these days. She asks the girls what they'd like to do once modeling is out of the picture. Funniest answer awarded to Jade, for her wish to be a kindergarten teacher. Danielle is completely hilarious throughout the entire episode, but wins the most points for vowing to home-school her child before she ever lets him/her set foot in Jade's classroom. She's fast becoming my favorite contestant. Turns out the photo shoot is the girls styled as if they were the careers they outlined for Tyra. Plus, they get a delightful accessory. Male models. Hands off Skyler; he's totally mine. Nnenna, having issues with a clingy boyfriend at home, seizes the opportunity to lip lock her companion at the end of her shoot. I'm sure that'll end well for her.

As far as photos go, Joanie kills it as a stay-at-home mom. She's a sleeper, that one. There are strong showings from Leslie, Danielle, Sara, and Furonda as well. On the other end are.... Guess. Go on. If you chose Gina and Brooke, go to the head of the class. Brooke may be ugly, but she's got some potential. Yes, it's Gina, who had absolutely no business being in this competition anyway, who finally gets her walking papers. Bout damn time.
