'America's Next Top Model': Molly's attitude sucks, so who goes?
We are heartbroken over who had to leave Wednesday on "America's Next Top Model." Heartbroken. But, we're convinced we know why Molly got to stay and Jaclyn was sent packing. There's a pattern forming here and it ain't pretty.
Before we get to the elimination (Did we mention we're heartbroken?), let's do a quick recap of the events leading up to it. Tyra Banks gave the girls a lesson in organizing their portfolio. Here's what we took away from it: Start out strong with a dramatic close-up picture of your face, opt for quality over quantity, and end with a picture that's striking and will invite conversation. OK, go be models.
At the end of the portfolio lesson, Tyra held up the letter C, because she wanted the girls to "see" where they're all going for this cycle's international destination. After the girls tried to figure out why she was holding up the wrong letter for the word "see," Tyra made them put it together with other letters to spell Morocco. That starts with an "M," Tyra.
But, here's the catch: Only five of them would be going and that would be decided by go-sees (yay!). And since Los Angeles can seem like another country sometimes, the girls would have to run, drive, walk the City of Angels for the go-see challenge.
Alexandria, being a SoCal girl, had the easiest time of it and made it to four of the five go-sees, booking all four, including the grand prize: A campaign for Lara Marks handbags. Kasia and Molly also got a chance at the campaign, but Lara didn't like that Molly looked bored and uninterested (because Lara isn't used to that? Snore) and she never really gives a reason why Kasia didn't get it. We think it's plus-model-ism.
In the photo challenge, the girls are shipped to a junkyard to wear couture dresses designed just for them. The dresses were all made from trash and eco-friendly products. We have to say all the women looked pretty hot in their dresses. We love that Nigel Barker was the photographer - Tyra's really driving this recycling theme home. Earn your keep, Nigel! The best part? Mr. Jay getting pooped on by pigeons. Rewind moments!
In the elimination, Brittani won Tyra over with her absolute regret over her attack on Alexandria last week and for apologizing to Alexandria. This week's behavioral problem? Molly.
Once again, Nigel (or Narc-el) squealed to the panel about a misbehaving model. When the camera went down, Molly complained about the pooping birds and her overall misery. Then guest judge Lara "Narcs" told Tyra that if Molly wasn't so unhappy to be at her casting, then she would have won the campaign. Way to kick a girl while she's down, Mrs. Narcs.
But, if Molly had any fear she was going home, she pretty much should have known that by causing the friction this week she bought herself a pass. Ratings! Alexandria, Brittani, and Molly have all behaved badly and been given another chance.
So, who goes? Our sweet Jaclyn! Totally made us gasp. She's sweet in the streets, but fierce on the set. Her photo this week was competitive. And, sure, she only made it to two castings, but she booked both of them! Tyra, we're on to you.

Ugh, please! Tyra WANTED Brittani to go home for her ONE mistake, while Alexandria's still around after she was given just ONE more chance. Tyra likes to believe she can right some of these wrongs, but Molly's been told repeatedly she has no personality and that she doesn't look like a model in person AND SHE'S DONE NOTHING to fix it. And she's not good for ratings because she only ******* at the camera, never at the other girls.
I rather liked the look on Alexandria's face when Marks said Molly would have won if not for her attitude. Alexandria thinks she is so perfect, so wonderful, so everything that's she's really not but she can fake a good attitude...she's got the manipulation down that a model apparently needs for a business build on ego. Britanni has a great look but is too fragile at this point..she needs to toughen up and become a shark to win. I love Kasia's sunny personality...probably dooms her to an exit in the next show.
I have a feeling Tyra's going to keep Alexandria around long enough to string her along into thinking she's going to win, and then pull the rug out from under her to teach her humility, just like she did for Melrose in Cycle 7 and Angelea in Cycle 14. It's her formula.
It sucks that Jacklyn went home! Four blondes! Jacklyn was so sweet and took such good photos. Alexandria has not changed and should go. Dousn't one get some kind of immunity for haveing best photo last week, many others have but not Jacklyn. Does she have to little potential. Wearing a shirt that sais number one is shocking and just another way of showing what a horrible person she is. Kasia or Brittani should win, they are not complaning or stereo type which America sure has enough of!
jaclyn shouldn't have been cut. period.
Molly deserves to win more than jaquelin or stupid Hannah. Neither of those girls have had to work through any hardships the way that Molly has with being adopted. GO MOLLY! I'm an abandon child with an attitude as well and I totally love you...
Molly has a good chance of winning... But, it's hard to see her being ultimately successful in the profession. I think the contempt, anger, and sense of entitlement displayed in her commentaries will ultimately outweigh her portfolio. She's talented but soooo unpleasant.
