ANTM Cozies Up to Enrique Iglesias

Put on your skinny jeans—you’ve got Tyra Mail!

After some Heather-bashing on Bianca’s part, the girls start this week of America’s Next Top Model off in nude bodysuits, learning how to move in a sexy way. They practice their sexy runway walks and their “wall slides,” before putting on knee pads to crawl across the floors. ANTM is getting x-rated! Bianca looks like she’s crawling across the desert for the last drop of water on earth, and gets miffed when Heather gets praised for what Bianca thinks is an awkward performance.

The next morning, the ladies pile into the van and head off to shoot a music video. With Enrique Iglesias. Finally, a believable challenge! The girls act surprisingly aloof after meeting him, whereas I’m practically hyperventilating on my living room couch, but hey, I guess “dripping with sex” isn’t everyone’s type. Lisa and Heather get picked to be featured in the video, which doesn’t exactly thrill Bianca. I’m sensing a theme for this episode.

Shooting is going well until the heat and lack of food takes a toll on Heather, who turns white as a ghost and passes out for a few seconds. Luckily, it’s not the tragedy that commercials make it out to be and she’s fine after eating and drinking. Bianca offers further commentary that Heather isn’t cut out for the model lifestyle.

Before judging, Chantal goes on and on about how she’s not nervous, which is foreshadowing a looming elimination I’m sure, considering her somewhat stiff music video performance. At judging, each girl’s part in the music video is reviewed. Lisa and Heather nail it, while Ambreal gets a little hoochie while she does her pole slide. Chantal gets told that she held back, a classic Tyraism, which is never a good sign when it comes to elimination.

When the judges discuss the girls, it doesn’t seem like they’re particularly happy with anyone except Lisa, Heather, and Saleisha, but it comes down to Chantal and Sarah in the bottom two—which is strange considering Ambreal didn’t do so well and she was already supposed to be eliminated. Sarah’s place in the industry gets questioned, because she’s neither plus-size nor super skinny, and Chantal gets told she’s coasting. In the end, it’s Sarah that gets the boot for being a normal size.

Next week, get ready for drama with Heather—it’s going down!
