Next, hot off of the humiliation block, they have another 20 minutes to get ready to network at a GQ party hosted by GQ style editor Adam Rappaport. We aren’t privy to any conversation or much interviewing, but the short summary is that no one embarrassed himself or herself and some were more memorable than others were. Namely Holly Haircut and Jacki Yes-I-Can-Hear-You-With-These-Ears.
Can You Walk the Walk?
The next morning, Debbie Deitering, who has walked for all the top designers, is on hand to guide them as they get ready to walk the runway in the main challenge. Once again, humility is left at the door as everyone is given a leotard to wear. Tyson shows up to walk first, but ends up strutting in jeans and a tee shirt. Holly Haircut is called a diamond in the rough. Casey’s foot hurts from a wrong turn on the basketball court, but he rocks it. Katy is not memorable at all. Back at the penthouse, they are all given portfolios of their pictures thus far, and Aryn cries that her picture isn’t up to par with everyone else’s. Jay is surprised, as am I, that his picture looks so professional. Casey leaves for the ER to get his foot taken care of, and returns on crutches. Apparently, his foot is broken. Instead of whining, he says he’ll win on the runway tomorrow. Feminine Farrah Fawcett Franki interviews that he’s glad Casey hurt his foot and it’s too bad, but someone needs to go home. Guess he hasn’t watched enough reality shows to know what karma is.Calling RuPaul…
The next day, they assemble for their big catwalk show. In a twist, the judges will pick out their least three favorites, and America will vote someone off. I’m staring to like this show…Tyson models swimwear for the hopefuls, and says that will be the theme of the show. Of course, there has to be a twist, and it’s that two fellas and two gals must wear thong swimwear. He pulls four names out of a bag: Shannon, Jacki, Casey and poor prison guard Ben. I almost want to hand Ben the prize so he doesn’t have to face reality back home. Jackie doesn’t feel confident baring her butt in a thong and opts to wear something else on the runway, unbeknownst to the judges. The show commences, and one by one, the models strut their stuff in teeny, weenie bikinis complete with oversize necklaces that don’t match. The men’s bikinis (I can’t even call them trunks…) are even smaller and pinker than the women’s. Katy’s legs giggle too much for the judges. Dominic complained that his necklace was too heavy, resulting in his awkward walk. Ben reluctantly rocked his thong (I’m seeing a resignation notice in his near future…), and Casey just didn’t have a good walk at all, in fact they thought he was joking. Perry had the best performance from the male side, even with a broken foot. That’s gotta hurt. The others, I mean. Holly did the best job across the board, but she didn’t win anything either. She just did the best job. Woo hoo.
The judges line them up for critiques and questions. Perry is given props for walking so well on a broken foot without his crutches. In the end, Sara, Katy, Jacki and Dominic are held back as everyone else leaves the stage. After the normal pause for drama, Jacki is surprised she is safe after Tyson told her she’d have been fired in the real world for refusing to wear the thong. Guess her walk and covered up ears were just that fierce. Sara, Katy and Dominic, who doesn’t appear to know why he’s even in the bottom three, are left to America for sympathy. Tune in next week.
