Drag, hair and New Zealand highlight 'America's Next Top Model'

Here's John-John on ANTM!:

The episode starts with Angelea bragging about having the best picture. Krista makes it her mission to take the best photo this episode. This could either result in Krista taking the best photo of the week, or Krista getting sent home.

Alexandra is lamenting about why she has been doing well in the competition.

Raina and Jessica are talking about missing Brenda.

"If Jessica goes home, I don't know what I'll do," Raina says in the confessional.

Menawhile, Alasia says that the competition is one of self discovery.

 "I do have a lot of work to do. Modeling is not anything you can learn overnight," Alasia says.

Anslee talks about being on the show for herself and her daughter. (Great job editing this week, America's Next Top Model. You've given each contestant equal screen time early in the show making it almost impossible to predict which girl is going home.)

The girls get surprise visitors to the loft — former model and agent, Pat Cleveland, and fashion designer and star of The City, Whitney Port.

The girls get to wear one of Whitney's designs for a night on the town. In addition, the girls will get a little one-on-one time with Pat Cleveland to discuss themselves. After hair, makeup, the girls are ready to hit the town.

The episode gets dragalicous when the girls find out that they will be featured in a runway challenge at a drag club.

The girls learn that they will be required to participate in a runway challenge with personality, according to Miss J Alexander said.

Alexandra is nervous after falling clear off the runway earlier in the season.

Alexandra doesn't fall, but didn't do a great job. She essentially stomps down the runway. (Not good.)

Angelea, who confesses that she is compared to drag queens, does a great job on the runway. Krista completely owns the runway. She receives great feedback.

"She was owning it," Jessica says about Krista.

Anslee gets booed. When it comes time for the audience vote, no one even cheers for her.

Krista wins the challenge. As a result, Krista receives six pieces from Whitney Port's clothing collection. Angelea gets five pieces from Whitney Port's collection because she had the best photo from the previous episode.

Back at the house the girls find another message about the next day being a challenge.

Alasia is late to the limo ride to the challenge. She makes it to the limo and bites her tongue as her fellow contestants make nasty remarks about her.

The girls meet up with Mr. Jay Manuel where they learn that they are going to be posing in outfits made of hair.

Hairstylists/designers Derek J and Weaven Steven serve as team captains as the girls are split into teams.

Alasia, Jessica and Alexandra are with Derek J. Angelea, Krista, Anslee, and Raina are with Weaven Steven.

 The girls are encouraged to heckle each other during the photo shoot. The heckling doesn't really add much to the episode.

Angelea gets a quick pointer from Mr. Jay and then turns out some excellent photos. Krista's goal is to get a number one photo. She imitates Grace Jones. It works. She does a stunning job. Alasia looks lost during her photo, according to Mr. Jay. Alexandra looks like a fish in water, according to Mr. Jay.

At the judging panel, Whitney Port is the guest of the week.

Tyra does this lame skit about counting sheep to tell the girls that they will be going to New Zealand next episode. That's right. The girls are going to the fashion capital of New Zealand? Seriously Tyra? We'll see how much high fashion the small island country will produce next week.

Anywho, back to the judging. Jessica gets great feedback. Krista's film is a joy to go through, Tyra says.

Anslee doesn't take enough risks, according to Tyra. Alasia's feet are high fashion, according to Andre Leon Talley. She doesn't take enough different types of photos, according to Tyra. The judges' drop kick Alexandra's photo. Angelea gets good feedback. Raina looks high fashion, according to Andre Leon.

Krista achieves her goal of winning best photo. As a result she'll fly first class to New Zealand. Angelea is next, followed by Raina, Jessica, and Alasia. Anslee and Alexandra are in the bottom two.

Anslee might be just a beauty model, Tyra says. Anslee takes great photos from the neck up. The rest of her body needs work with posing. Her photos become a little bland, Tyra adds.

Alexandra takes pretty decent pictures with occasional outstanding photos, according to Tyra. The judges feel a lack of drive and desire in Alexandra, according to Tyra.


Anslee thanks Tyra for the opportunity. She later says she is devastated to let down her child.
