America's Next Top Model: Recapping The Recap
Recap by Jessi K.

This week’s episode of “America’s Top Model” catches us up on all the fierceness of the previous seven episodes.
In the first episode, thirty-three girls were chosen to meet with Alpha J. and Beta Jay at the “Top Model Institute of Technology.” While there, the model hopefuls were put through the rigors of Top Model tests like “facial modulation,” where they had to look at a photograph of Tyra and try to emulate her expression, and “modification movement,” where they had to stand within a cube made of metal and change poses any time the strobe lights in the cube flashed. Sheena claimed to have “overdosed” on posing since she used every move she could think of from kung fu to Kama Sutra.
The girls then met with Tyra, J. Alexander, and Jay Manuel individually and Sharaun from Chicago immediately stepped into the room and proclaimed herself “America’s next top model.” Marjorie, however, walked in sheepishly, with her shoulders hunched forward, not owning any bit of the room at all. When Tyra asked her about her awkwardness, Marjorie replied, “It’s a venting mechanism for me.”
The panel asked Hannah about an experience she had while being chased by a moose once which led Tyra to ask Hannah to chase her around the room like the moose had once done. As Hannah ran after her, Tyra showed her how to “run with fierceness.”
When Isis met with the panel, she explained that she was born physically male and that she feels she has been born into the wrong body. The other girls weren’t so sure what to make of Isis and in an interview Sharaun stated, “Is a role model like for America a transvestite? I don’t think so.”
Tyra’s top 14 girls, Sheena, Analeigh, Nikeysha, Marjorie, Samantha, Elina, Brittany, McKey, Sharaun, Lauren Brie, Isis, Clark, Joslyn, and Hannah, arrived in Los Angeles to begin the competition. J. and Jay were there to greet them and notified the girls that in the 14 clutch purses on the table near them, one of them held the key to their new digs for the competition. Whoever had the key was able to pick their bed last, no matter if it had already been taken. They also added that there were only 13 beds so someone would be sleeping on the floor. Nikeysha found the key in the clutch and proclaimed, “Boy, ya’ll better be nice to me or ya’ll ain’t gettin’ in my house.”
When the girls arrived at their home for the duration of the competition, they ran from room to room screaming. Samantha was the unlucky girl that had to create a makeshift bed on the floor.
For their first challenge, the models went to Magic Castle where they took part in Ed Alonzo’s magic show and Joslyn’s shoes disappeared as part of Ed’s act. Ed made all of the judges appear on stage and the models were allowed to meet with them one by one. Sharaun flaunted her confidence to each of the judges and declared herself America’s next top model as she sat down to meet with them. Isis, however, impressed Nigel instantly with her knowledge but Hannah fell flat with Jay. “What would you do to make that we always remember you?” he asked her. Her reply: “Be memorable.”
The models’ first photo shoot was to portray political themes important for this year’s election. Sharaun and Nikeysha struggled in the photo shoot and a combination of a poor photo and overconfidence sent Sharaun packing.
On the way home from the first panel, tempers flared between Sheena and Elina about animal rights. “You wouldn’t eat your cat but you’d eat a bird?” snapped Elina. “Aren’t plants alive, also?” retorted Sheena.
Back at the house, the girls let off of steam by beat boxing in the hot tub. Brittany and Isis also relaxed by chasing one another around the house and throwing baby powder at each other. In her interview, Brittany smiled while talking about her relationship with Isis and said Isis was “like a sister.” After the two had finished teasing one another, Brittany told Isis that all she could smell was baby powder. Isis snapped back, “Better than what you smelled like before.” The two then fell into a fit of laughter.
