So, this episode can be summed up in just one word: Wholahay. Let me explain. The girls meet up with Twiggy and special guest Melrose to talk about how shunning your normal, boring name can give you a leg up in the modeling industry. Thus, each girl has to make up a fierce, fabulous name. And Dionne? Picks "Wholahay." Her reign of awesomeness truly can never be challenged. Under their alter egos, the girls attend a party featuring such famous personages as Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and 50 Cent. Also in attendance is supermodel supermanager Benny Medina, along with the rest of Tyra's representation and, quite mysteriously, Beverly Johnson. Each of the girls has to meet with Benny & Co and try to make a good impression. Wholahay starts crying when she mentions her child. Who knew she had a child? Wholahay, that's who. Lahay. While all this is going on, Jael seriously annoys 50 Cent and he totally pushes her into the pool. Inexplicably, Natasha jumps in after her. Maybe she was a lifeguard before she immigrated to the U.S.? In any case, Benny Medina is not impressed when they come in to meet him and are soaking wet. The girls have an audience with Paris and Nicole, and Nicole totally starts some shit between Renee and Jael. Granted, this isn't a hard task, given that Renee totally told her that Jael was a bitch and she hated her. Once they're back in the house, Jael gives Renee a much-deserved verbal beatdown. It's for all the sistahs, really. The photo shoot for the week entails the girls showing four different sides of their personalities. They get to do their own styling, too, with mixed results. Jaslene, who is totally growing on me and has been looking kind of pretty, chooses "drag queen" as one of her personalities, which I find wonderfully self-aware. Meanwhile, who do you think won the party challenge? Wholahay, that's who. Lahay. (I could really go on like this all night.) She, along with friends Whitney and Jaslene, gets to pose in a Keds ad. And then, the episode we are interrupted by a very special episode of the Typrah Winbanks Show. Typrah has the girls embark on some self-discovery, and everyone admits that they hate Renee. So Typrah totally has Renee sit by her, and then they go around and the girls all say what Renee has done that's evil/bitch/hurtful to them. I know! Awesome. Everyone agrees that Renee has some issues. The other big news is that they're finally going to do something with poor Brittany's weave, thank Who. At panel, Jael's escapades in the pool don't come back to haunt her, and she is actually called first. Sarah and Whitney end up in the bottom two, with pose-y Sarah finally being kicked to the curb. Who could have predicted it? I think you know the answer to that.
Want more? The full recap starts right below!
Previously: Renee continued to irritate people. Sarah's controversial challenge win gave her an edge in the testosterone-laden photo shoot, but Whitney and Diana struggled. In the end, Diana got her sent home, just 'cause. Eight girls remain! They all want to be on top, na na na na na na.
We enter with the girls in their huge-ass limo, reflecting upon the loss of Diana. Whitney interviews that Diana was her best friend in the house, and that she was hit hard by her demise. She says she knows that Diana wants her to beat the rest of the skinny bitches, and prove that she's a threat. Well, in that case, I really think Whitney might want to start being a better model.
Back at the house, there is Tyra Mail. "Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Love, Tyra." For some reason, this clue causes Jael to jokingly attack Sarah, and Jaslene kind of gets in on the action. The whole thing would be a lot more exciting if they were naked. Cut to Renee, who just shakes her head. She confessionalizes, while wearing a scarf around her head, that the other girls are driving her insane. Jael just talks and talks and talks, she says, and doesn't know when to shut up. Hm, that sounds familiar. On Sarah, Renee says, "That bitch does not deserve to be here." Well that's quite an ambiguous statement for someone who's usually so direct. We flash back to last week, when Sarah won the challenge somewhat under false pretenses, since she actually didn't do the work she was praised for. Sarah then tells us how helpful her prize was. Being able to look at her first set of photos with Jay Manuel and then doing the shoot all over again helped her to stay in the competition.
The next day. the girls go to Tantra restaurant. They sit down in front of a big sign that reads "Lesley Hornby." Dionne says she doesn't know who that is. I don't either, though I would venture that at least someone in her seventh-grade class called her "Lesby Horny." And then, out walks Twiggy in a jacket and a big tie. If she had big shoes and a red nose, she'd look exactly like a sad clown. Sarah says that she's standing within ten feet of Twiggy, which is cool, because Twiggy is one of her idols. Twiggy tells the girls that when she was fifteen, one of her friends nicknamed her "Twiggy" because she had such skinny legs. She says that a wonderful photographer named Barry Lategan, whose legend we've heard extolled before, took some test shots of her, and during that session, the friend was there and happened to call her "Twiggy." Barry told Twiggy that if she ever became a model for real, that would be a great name. And the rest is fashion history.
