America's Next Top Model 7: AJ Meltsdown And Goes Home
Episode 5 Recap by Logan Huffman
October 24, 2006
Previously, on America's Next Top Model, even though her most hated foe, Monique, was gone, Melrose continued with her bitchy attitude, and Jaeda and Megg faltered at the photo shoot, tossing them into the bottom two at the judging. But in the end, Megg was eliminated. With nine girls remaining, who will be eliminated tonight?
At the mansion after the elimination, Jaeda is depressed after being in the bottom two, and she says it makes her feel like she sucks. The truth hurts, Jaeda. She adds that she wonders what she is doing being that she just made her second trip to the bottom two.
AJ says that she was the closest to Megg in the house, and losing her was like losing a huge spirit. Melrose pops up on the screen, and let me tell you guys, she hasn't changed since last week, as she immediately makes fun of the girls for crying at Megg's elimination. She adds that she cried like that when she thought she was going to be eliminated, but she's not crying like that for anyone else, and as far as she is concerned, all of the other girls can go home and leave her there by herself. Don't you just love her?
The next morning, some of the girls are sitting around and discussing the twins. Jaeda feels that Michelle is more open, and she tells Amanda that she doesn't like her any less, but Eugena chimes in that she likes her less. Wow, she's primed and ready today! Eugena says that even though they are twins, they are completely different people (no sh*t!), and she thinks that Amanda is more self-conscious, while Michelle is more outgoing. Amanda takes it all in stride, and tells Eugena that she loves her back. Jaeda playfully jumps on Amanda, and yells at her that she hates her. Amanda says that it's obvious that they are constantly compared, being that they are competing against each other.
Michelle is sitting and talking to Jaeda, who she tells that she usually doesn't disclose who she likes in her regular life. Jaeda asks her if she has ever had a boyfriend. Michelle responds with "not really". Michelle tells us that she has been hiding the fact that all of her life, she has been unsure of who she is, and she can finally admit that. She tells Jaeda that she may be gay, but she is unsure. Brooke and Eugena are sitting on the other side of the room, and both look shocked. Eugena says that she's not sure if Michelle actually came out of the closet, but she's straddling the fence, which could lead me to make a joke, but I'll resist the temptation. Melrose tells her that she appears more comfortable with herself now. Michelle says that she was scared before, but now she doesn't really care. And that ends our interesting revelation of the day!
The twins head downstairs to use the phone. Amanda is in a small state of shock, and Michelle says that it came out randomly. How exactly is blurting out that you may be gay random? If anyone knows the answer to that, feel free to e-mail me. Inside the phone booth, Michelle clarifies that she only said that she may be gay, not that she was. Well, she wouldn't have said it if she didn't have at least some inkling. Amanda says that she was trying to avoid talking about it, as she didn't want to make it a big deal and only wanted it to go away. Michelle makes sure that she has told Amanda this secret before, and Amanda says that she has.
The girls have received a Tyra Mail. AJ reads it aloud, and it says: I once heard that dumb models ask stupid questions. I've also heard that there's no such thing as a stupid question. Is there? Find out today. Love, Tyra. One of the girls speculates that they will need to act dumb. Umm, no.
The girls get into the limo and head to a studio in Hollywood. Mark Steines from Entertainment Tonight is in the studio, and he welcomes the girls. He tells the girls that he has been on the show for eleven seasons, and he has talked tom virtually every star in Hollywood. Mark continues, and says that he is there to teach them the nuances of interviewing, and while it may seem as simple as 'ask a question, get an answer', it's not that easy. They will each have the chance to interview him.
Caridee is first. She begins by telling him how great he looks tonight, and asks what designer he is wearing. While he is looking inside his suit for the answer, Caridee answers for him, saying 'Mary Kate and Ashley'. That was a good one, Caridee! Mark laughs, and says that it is actually Dolce and Gabbana. Anchal goes next, but seems too subdued. She asks Mark how old he is, and he answers 42. She replies that's awesome, and Mark pushes to microphone up closer to her mouth. Brooke asks him how he got his start in the entertainment industry, and Mark reads my mind, saying that she is coming off extremely rehearsed. He advises her to be herself. Eugena asks Mark if he is married, in a way that suggests she wants him if he's not. Mark comments how she nearly takes the head off of the microphone when she snaps it over toward him for the answer. Mark is married.
Jaeda is next, and she tells us.....
