Thirteen beautiful young ladies stand before Tyra, but she only has 12 photos in her hands. And they represent the 12 girls who are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. The first name to be called has the best photo, and of course it's Lauren Brie. She'll get her photo displayed digitally in the house. Elina is called next, followed by Joslyn, Marjorie, McKey, Samantha, Sheena, Hannah, Clark, Brittany, and Analeigh. This leaves Isis and Nikeysha in the bottom two. Oh no, not Isis! I still maintain that she was thrown off by her hormone shots. In any case, Nikeysha's film has been mediocre for two weeks. The issues that the judges have with her have to do with her interrupting all the time, which she tries to do again until Tyra shuts her down. She needs to learn to listen. And then there's Isis, who was at the top of the pack last week. When she walked in to the judging room, she did not look like a model at all. And when the judges see that, they wonder if her good pictures are just a fluke. However, it is Isis who gets the photo. She gives Nikeysha a hug before going to take her photo.
As Isis walks up to Tyra, Nikeysha says that she guesses she'll go home and be an anesthesiologist. You can guess how well Tyra likes that. Nikeysha starts going on about how she really wants to model, and Tyra tells her twice that there's truth in jest before telling her to shut the hell up and let Isis have her moment. Tyra then gives Nikeysha a hug. Nikeysha laments that she didn't get to show Miss J. her walk. Tyra tells her to hurry up and do it. Her walk is nothing special, and Tyra dismisses her, all the while thinking, "Don't let the door hit you in the mouth when you leave. Or perhaps do." In her exit interview, Nikeysha blubbers and blathers on so long that the credits roll and a clock starts ticking. Those poor editors.
