Tonight’s Recap:  The contestants are tied up 6 Americans and 6 Brits are left.    The British girls are happy that and American girl went.  The British girls decided to go to the American girls rooms at 2:30AM and throw balls of paper at the sleeping girls.  Symone loses it with them she tells the girls to grow up.  The British girls are shocked they were joking – but Symone went nuts at the British girls.

Tyra comes to visit the girls and they are excited.  She asks for a tour of the house.  Tyra tells the girls they are going to have to work it.  She gets them to walk the runway and talk about there self.  The girls have a lot of fun.  Tyra tells them that there is something that makes supermodel’s special.   She tells the girls she wrote a book called Model Land.  She tells the girls she has a super power and she knows every girl has a super power. Tyra’s male models come in and give each girl a cape.

Tyra assigns each girl an Intoxibella super power: Sophie – Illuminata;  Alisha – Gama-a-tronica;  Louise – Chameelone; Katherine – Era Descent; Ashley  Charisma; Annaliese – Excite to buy; AzMarie – Andro Genia; Laura – Zagilicious; Seymone – Fiercely Real; Kyle – Next Doorsia; Candace – Exotica; Eboni – 30 Never

Tyra tells them Super Mogul is where they want to get there and this chalenges involves getting there.  She wants the girls to think about Marketing, Leadership, Strategy, Global Markets, Accounting and Finance.  The Bigger Super Model they become the Bigger Super Mogul they become.

They meet with Kelly to put their super powers to work.  They arrive at a huge warehouse and Kelly is there.  She tells them they have to know every aspect of the model industry.  They have to create an ad campaign for very.com  the theme is love and luxury.  They are split in two teams the British team and the US team.  They will have to do everything for the photo-shoot and it is due tomorrow.  The British team wants Annaliese to be leader.  USA wants AzMarie as leader.

Sophie tells the girls on the Brit team they can do it.  Kelly felt Annaliese was confused and not fierce.  The British girls decided to go for a 60 mod theme.  Kelly tells Annaliese she hopes she can get it together.

The USA is going for London Punk as a theme.  Kelly meets with AzMarie and she tells her she is making a mistake.  The American team collectively went over everything together.

The UK team is all over the place – they are surprised they though Annaliese was a leader and learned she is not.

The Models meet with Mr. Jay and he tells the girls they are in the driver seat.  Mr. Jay is not wowed by the British ad campaign.  Annaliesse was all over the page.  Kelly thinks Louise has the worst attitude of any of the girls in the competition.  Mr. Jay congratulates Louise because she pulled it together so fast.

PANEL

Louise comes up and Kelly tells Louise that she was very rude to her.  Louise tells Kelly she was rude to her.  Nigel tells Louise she looks mean. I think they were unfair – she is a good model and takes stunning pictures. Louise gets mad and leaves. She tells the girls that she wants to go home.  She says that if she met Kelly on the street she would punch her out.  I think that is it for her – with that comment there is no way they are letting her come back.  I think they were really mean to her – what do you think?

Symone
Annaliesse
Louise – but Louise left

Candane, Eboni, Ashley and Alisha are in the bottom and the judges decided to keep everyone because they can take criticism – clearly another crack at Louise.

I have to say this was one of the worst ANTM episodes I have ever seen.  The concepts/photoshoot were silly – the superpower theme childish.  I am also not liking Kelly as a judge – she is downright mean.  I don’t care if she is a publicist there is a way to talk to people and she does not know how to do it.
