Pass the Dutchie

America's Next Top Model - Season 11, Episode 8

The final six head for Amsterdam, and spend the first several minutes directly ripping off The Amazing Race for a challenge. The girls are paired off for said segment, and sworn enemies Samantha and Elina find themselves the unlikely victors. The friendship forged by the win doesn't last long, as they get into a stupid fight about prostitution that isn't worth revisiting. The later challenge is also done in pairs, and involves posing in brothel windows. Samantha wins again, this time with McKey.

The photo shoot is a relatively simple one; it's just the girls giving their best editorial pose on a boat. Analeigh is undeservedly praised, as is Marjorie, who knows how to work the hunched back, but not much else. McKey and Samantha both get very good shots, and McKey claims the coveted first-called position. Meanwhile, Elina is still stiff as a board in her photos, but it's poor Sheena who gets eliminated for being unable to find the balance between hooch and beauty.

Next week on America's Next Top Model: Tyra pretends to be an artistic photographer again. Let's all give her ego a few strokes, and maybe she'll quit with that nonsense.

Overall Grade: B
