TOP MODEL ROUND UP: PRETTY IN PAINT

Making Madonna proud

This week the models had to produce an amazing photo while having paint splattered on their faces. This was unfortunate for Marvita who couldn't give it her all and looked rather sad in her photo. The judges criticized her for not softening her look. In the end, she was sent home. It's too bad because she definitely had potential. Case in point: The photo of her on the Brooklyn Bridge. I think it was Paulina who said she looked like a "panther in an urban jungle." Gorgeous.

Marvita: Hot in the city

I hated Whitney's photo. To me, she looked like she should be doing an ad for Ambien because she looked half asleep. She's been getting grief from everyone lately. In this episode, Dominique wrongly accused her off making her miss a phone call from her child (ever hear of taking responsibility for yourself, Dom?); Fatima accused her of being racist; and Stacy Ann casually called her fat while walking through the kitchen. She compensated with a witty comeback and said, "You mean PHAT?"

Ambien, take me away

Maybe it's due to all the backbiting, but Whitney's been exuding a flippant impudence that makes her seem either stuck up or uninterested in the competition. During the vogue-off hosted by King-of-Vogue, Benny Ninja, she started doing splits and flipping her hair. She looked like she belonged on a football field.

Fatima was seriously criticized and almost ended up in the bottom two for not shaving her pits; A little tuft of hair was visible in her paint photo.

I'm still routing for my girl, Lauren. During the vogue-off she pulled out some wild moves and her photo was incredible, natch. I think she's discovered her inner diva. I've checked the official website and she's running neck and neck with Claire for fan favorite. You can vote for your favorite here.

In a strange turn of events, Lauren apologized for wearing her high tops at panel because she couldn't find her heels. Later, Tyra fessed up to stealing them. Tyra's tactics to stay "on top" are getting weirder by the episode (Did you see the steak photo last week?). We all know you're still a gorgeous model, Tyra. You don't need to beat us over the head with it every week.

I eat bitches like you for lunch.
