Paint It Wack

It is another week in the Top Model house, and Chris still feels bad about punching people in the nuts when they first moved in. He tells us he's going to play it cool now, because if there were ever a guy who was well-suited to play it cool… well, it's definitely not Chris. Also not playing it cool is Marvin, who is upset about the elimination of close friends Jeremy and Kanani and just cries and cries. The folks in the house are very caring and try to comfort him through his abandonment issues, except for Cory who is basically like, "Get it together, girl."

In this week's somewhat convoluted challenge, the models go to Melrose Avenue where Kelly Cutone administers a trivia challenge with some pretty basic questions about fashion. For each question they get right the models (who have stripped down to their underwear right in the middle of the street) get $25 on a MyEveryNeed.com gift card. When the quiz is over, they use those gift cards to go shopping at nearby stores and clothe themselves, and the winner gets another gift card from MyEveryNeed.com, which I still have trouble believing is a real thing. Most of the contestants have at least $75 on their cards, but poor Phil is stuck with only $25, which apparently only buys you a pair of ripped up women's leggings and a t-shirt. He is told he looks like a cross-dressing Neanderthal, and Kelly lectures that this is not a comedy contest. Don charms guest judge Monica Rose with his lady killing ways and wins the challenge. In addition to the gift card, he gets to go out for ice cream with two friends, and chooses Marvin and Renee, trying to convince us in the process that they have a flirty thing going on. Though I guess Renee was kind of charmed that time when Marvin licked her face.

While Jiana freaks out about her low challenge score, Marvin gets really sullen about the fact that Chris got a better score than him, calling it unfair since Chris used feedback that judges were giving other contestants to change up his look before he was evaluated. Apparently Marvin has been getting a wee bit aggressive, which is another sign that he might not be mentally tough enough to survive this competition. Chris and Marvin argue, with Marvin talking about Chris's acne and Chris calling Marv a monkey. So much for playing it cool. Chris also pisses off the ladies by showering in their bathroom, and basically is annoying the crap out of everyone per usual.

For their photo shoot, the models go to Lanark Art Gallery where this exhibit of Tyra posing as other supermodels is up. Today they will be living art installations, which means they'll wear very little as buckets of paint are thrown on them. And it is a LOT of paint. It's actually a pretty cool shoot, though the models who are doused in red paint have to be fierce while trying not to give Carrie realness. While Jourdan, Renee and Nina do an amazing job, Marvin, Jiana and Phil struggle. And poor Phil -- he gets a beard trim to make him look less like Jesus, but then is put in what looks like a diaper. He lands in the bottom two with Jiana, who has been on a downswing lately and also has trouble with the paint since she hates being sticky. And with these maybe-lovers on the chopping block together, it's Jiana who is sent home by one-tenth of a point.
