'Make Me a Supermodel' This show is only big enough for one Kerryn, Karen.
Last week, Make Me A Supermodel turned the hopefuls into candy. This week, to make up for it, they turned them into athletes. With wires.
As expected, most of the first half of the episode was the models complaining about CJ, her poor attitude, that she doesn't want it enough and they heard she kills kittens in her spare time. At least, they make her misdeeds sound that bad. Worse, in fact, but I will get to that in a moment. The photoshoot looks uncomfortable, I don't understand the "fashion" used (metallic lycra and colored plastic visors), and the shots end up looking like a jumble of disparate figures.
There are a few standouts. Jonathan and Amanda do particularly well. In fact, Amanda wins the challenge. However, Laury gets surly and when Nicole asks for the group opinion on the outcome, she proclaims that she did better than Amanda. Which is a pretty terrible attitude to have. You don't have to be thrilled that you lost or even congratulate the winner. But don't bash someone else to make yourself feel better.
The best part of the entire show is when Gabriel whines that CJ ruined his picture. You see, he is certain that there were other photos in which he looked better, but in order to find one in which CJ looked human they had to use one in which he didn't look that great. And, as he says, that's communist. Thus, comparing a reality television show on Bravo to the People's Republic of China, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea and Cuba. And people say models are airheads with an over inflated sense of importance!
Anyway, Amanda picks Kerryn to go on the go see to Bloomingdale's with her. Neither girl books the job, but they clearly like Amanda more, stating that Kerryn seemed to lack confidence. This prompts Kerryn to tell the cameras that she's so confident it's scary. But the only thing that's scary is exactly how much it looks like she is about to cry. While the girls are out, the rest of the models have an impromptu photoshoot with clown wigs and boas. And Gabriel in his underwear. Again.
To match the photoshoot and perhaps give Gabriel a fighting chance, the catwalk is sports underwear. That is, they are modeling underwear and strange structural contraptions and codpieces and are expected to strike a sporty pose at the end of the runway. It's about as awkward as you would expect for most of them. Although, Jonathan again distinguishes himself as a more than capable model. Seriously, can we just call him the winner now?
The model to win immunity was Kerryn, who giddily explained that she had been working on her confidence. Which - good for her - it showed. The bottom came down to Gabriel and Karen, because he hasn't improved in 3 weeks and she made scary scary faces on the catwalk. In the end, her scary face lost to his "meh" face. I suspect that was a decision the producers stepped in on, as they are promoting a showmance between Gabriel and Amanda.
Do you think Karen should have left? Or does Gabriel need to be sent packing? Will Colin lose his virginity this season? And can we see more of Jonathan, please?
Gabriel really deserved to go & Jonathan deserved to win. In addition to Jonathan, I think Sandhurst is quite good.
Gabriel is so beautiful he just needs to show a better attitude and a range of expressions during judged activities. Up front I always pick the one that gets kicked early. (Which he will if he doesn't shape up.) Model-wise he clearly could be in the top few. I said could.
Karen was pointless so good riddance. Plus they needed to even up the genders a little. I'm thrilled that judging is from the professionals not the US. We're kind of dumb, look at AI.
