Mountaha_makemeasupermodel_s2_240 Now that "Make Me A Supermodel" has spent weeks getting the models to drop whatever percentage of body fat they may have had, it's the perfect time for a swimsuit shot in the freezing cold!

Another great idea is to paint them with with oil, so they are perpetually damp, and make them pose holding or wearing large dead sea creatures that have spent the day on ice. It's almost like the person who came up with this shot was determined to get one of them to pass out or need to be taken to the hospital. They are all shivering and miserable and it shows in certain photographs. Like Sandhursts.

Branden eye rolls that Salome will probably win again because the photographers loved her, but Mountaha thinks she nailed it. Which makes her even more irritated when Salome wins. Again. For those keeping score, that's 3 photo shoots in a row, with 5 total wins. And a big fat zero for Mountaha. All the same, she and Salome are both sent to a go see with a Brazilian swimsuit designer. Mountaha gets textbook passive aggressive by refusing to tell Salome the name of the designer, complaining that she taught her everything she knows about modeling already. Lets remember, Salome: 5, Mountaha: 0.

The designer is not at all impressed by Mountaha being Brazilian. Or perhaps he's not impressed with how she jumps all over him to share that fact. Either way, it doesn't matter, because neither of them have brazilian swimsuit bodies. However they are invited to participate in a trunk show, wearing dresses. MEanwhile, the boys are tasked with street promoting modern furniture. Jonathan does really well, being engaging and charming. Branden uses it as an opportunity to hit on women. Sandhurst breaks the desk.

Marlon shows up at the model house to go over all their film and give them each pointers. Jonathan listens attentively, while Branden takes it personally and shuts down. Given the amount of criticism models have to hear, Branden needs some thicker skin. But unwrinkled, unblemished, and unnaturally smooth skin at that. Good luck, kid! The best part of the show comes when Marlon walks out, proclaiming he has a big day tomorrow - he has to kick someone off a show. Ouch!

The catwalk has each model walking twice: one glam look, one goth look. The models are so taken aback by one half of the Blonds being a man in drag that they don't quite connect with the fact that they will be in corsets until it's too late. Yet, Branden pulls out all stops and turns in the best walk we've seen from him. He's almost unrecognizable. Also nearly unrecognizable is Sandhurst, who is fitted with a blond pompadour wig and ill fitting clothes that he has no idea how to move in.

Which makes the ending all that more strange to me. Jonathan wins the catwalk, though there is no more immunity. But despite having turned in a poor photo, done badly at street promoting, and having a terrible catwalk, Sandhurst stays while Salome, who has won nearly half the photo shoots - including the one today - is sent packing. Granted her walk needed work, but so does Sandhursts photos and they both have "body issues" to overcome.

Are you glad Jonathan and Salome reverted their looks back to pre-makeover status? Has Mountaha taken up Jordan's snottiness crown? Do you agree with tonight's outcome or do you feel none of it matters, though, because Jonathan is going to win?

This has to be the most inexplicable result I've ever seen. What the heck?!!! How could they send Salome home, who has one great photo after another, and keep Branden, who rarely has a decent picture? Doing a bit better for one catwalk does not justify this decision AT ALL.

I'm so annoyed with this, I'm not going to bother watching the rest of the show. I like Jonathan ok, and hope he wins, but I just don't care. I liked Salome best, and to see her go home and Branden stay, is stupid. The only consolation is that at least Jordan is already gone. For her to stay longer than Salome would have been even worse.


Wow! What were the judges thinking? Sandhurst or Branden would have been a MUCH better choice as neither performed well & Branden seems VERY immature & not well suited for the realities of the business. I'm not sure what they see in Mountaha either...her skin always seems to be in really bad condition & her "normal" hairstyle does NOTHING for her. She does look good in her photos but only if she's completely made up. She had a big advantage in the catwalk mainly because her clothes were STUNNING & had plenty on them so it would have been pretty hard for her NOT to "make the clothes move" Also, why didn't Salome's shoes fit? Don't they have their sizes down by now? Shoe sizes are pretty much standard. Pet peeve: Judges who wear goofy sungl***es while watching the fashion show...how well are they really seeing anyway?

I'm SO MAD! Salome is the BEST! I would buy anything she hawks--her face is exquisite and she has a body that--while still incredible--is a little more realistic. Mountaha needs a LOT of styling and makeup to look good. Salome looks phenomenal fresh-faced AND glammed up. I think the judges are idiots to let her go. Oh, well, she'll just make another agency a sh*tload of money...


After seeing last nights elimination, you would think that they had it figured out in the beginning. Salome seems to have it down for the photos whereas Branden is struggling with everything. And, we all know clothes make the "man", but so do they make the woman. Not every body type is right for every outfit and Mountaha and Salome got the ones that should have been for the other. Don't know if I want to see who wins or not now. That is one way to keep the ratings up, by getting rid of the best one they had.


like other singing contest .... make me a super model should also consider to have its show being available for other contries and have their own version and models....


Great, I'm finished with this stupid show. I don't like one of the models left and I don't think any of them are supermodel material. Go figure. At least I can stop wasting my time on the this show.


Just seems like shows are trying to be very pc with the new president


it was ridiculous of them to eliminate salome---she should have been runner up----jonathan will win for sure---he is the only super model of the bunch.


Salome can't walk and sometimes she can't show off the clothes like a model should. I think that's why they eliminated her. That said, it did seem kind of sadistic because her photos are so good.

Even though Sandhurst did badly this week, he's usually "king of the catwalk." When they don't give him a ridiculous get-up or clothes that are drastically too small, he can sell the clothes.

If you look at the photos alone, Branden and Jonathan are the best models. Branden is not consistent but he has a really compelling look. His good pictures are so good. Jonathan is obviously versatile, and he's a good spokesman. Sandhurst seems like a great guy, but his photos aren't great. Mountaha is great at runway, but her photos don't consistently blow me out of the water. I hope J & B make the top two.
