ANTM Season 9 Episode 3

Continuing on with the VH1 ANTM marathon, episode 3 starts with Kimberly asking Bianca for tips on modeling. How stupid can one girl get? Of all the people to ask for help, Bianca would be my last choice. I did like that Lisa, Saleisha and a couple other girls kind of befriended Heather and did a bit of a makeover on her. After the makeover, the girls were whisked away to the Fashion Madhouse where they had to model in straight jackets during a clinic with Miss J. Miss J had some rather horrible things to say about Bianca's walk and Bianca later took out her frustrations on Saleisha. Bianca seemed to be the season's Bre: attack someone until they falter and get kicked off, then start on the next.

Next the girls met up with Roy Campbell at their challenge, a fashion show for Colleen Quen. Nothing against Colleen Quen, these are just my opinions of her dresses and the walks of the models in them. The challenge was to show their walk, move with restrictions, and bring out the spirit of the clothes. Saleisha and Chantal were wonderful as were the dresses they modeled. Ambreal, Ebony and Janet did okay in nice dresses while Victoria, Heather, and Lisa did okay modelling not great dresses. Sarah did bad while modelling a nice dress while Bianca, Jenah and Kimberly did bad in bad dresses.

The photo shoot was with Matthew Jordan Smith and had the girls climbing a rock wall. Lisa didn't let her fear of heights get to her and Bianca was all bark and no bite when it came to the photos. Jenah being a rock climber helped her in this shoot. My favorites were Heather, Saleisha, Jenah, Janet and Lisa. Though this wasn't one of my favorite ANTM episodes, I'd watch it again and again.



If you haven't seen this episode yet and don't want to know how it ends, please stop reading and come back after you've watched it. The following is a recap of the Judges opinions and who got eliminated.

Colleen Quen's critiques of the models

Heather's neck was too far forward, she had bad posture, but still managed to be elegant

Saleisha needed to keep her posture a little higher because of her height, but had good movement

Jenah's dress was a major challenge, but she was running into the dress

Bianca had a strong walk, but needed to have a more soft, sensual face

Kimberly looked as though she had an empty soul



Tyra, Nigel, Twiggy and Miss J were joined by guest judge Roy Campbell.
