America's Next Top Model Rundown: Episode 5, "The Girl Who Is Afraid Of Heights"

America's Next Top Model Rundown: Episode 5, "The Girl Who Is Afraid Of Heights"


Updated 10/19/07 8:57 AM · Posted by · 35 comments

After last week's thrilling makeover episode, this week's America's Next Top Model was actually a bit of a bore. Is it just me, or are they devoting less and less time to the girls interpersonal drama? Maybe these aspiring models just aren't as boozy as some of the older seasons meaning fewer late night antics. So without further ado, here's what went down last night:

Benny Ninja was in full effect last night taking the girls for a trampoline lesson on how to pose while moving before their challenge. The girls were then brought to an ice skating rink and told to convey emotions while being lifted over the ice by an Olympic figure skater. Good times. Overseeing the event was Cycle 7 winner, Dani, who has certainly followed through on those speech lessons. All the girls seemed totally awkward with the challenge, most of all Heather, who kind of froze up whenever the guy tried to lift her. Lisa won, making all the other girls, most especially Ambreal, upset. There were tears, but that is to be expected.

For the actual photoshoot, the girls were brought to the roof of a hotel in downtown LA, where they would be posing (nowhere near the edge, mind you) as "fashion gargoyles." I kid you not. Ambreal was having a bit of a fit, being scared of heights and all, but...wait for it...she overcame her fear. Also, did I mention they didn't seem to be anywhere near the edge? Too bad for her it didn't' do much for her photos. Ebony continued to have no personality, but look great on film while Heather stuck with her tried and true profile shot. Out of nowhere, I think Chantal might have been my favorite and Jenna wasn't so bad herself. Way to go, blondes!

To see a whole gallery of all their shots, hear who lost and my guess on who is next to go just read more

Thankfully Saleisha learned how to hold her head high with that haircut (thereby allowing us to see her face, like, at all). Sarah didn't look great in her shot, nor does she seem to carry herself particularly well, but they're keeping her around for at least another week. I will say, that I love me some Lisa-tude.

Ambreal was in the bottom two, but Janet got the boot. Probably a good call because I literally didn't even know she was on the show until this week.

Next week: my guess is that Sarah or Ebony will be kicked off. Then again, I've never once predicted correctly.

What did you think? Loving the photoshoot? Have a favorite girl yet? Wish that Bianca would shut her mouth? Me too. Also, don't miss the Team group to much more ANTM fun.

I wasn't feeling Chantal til this photoshoot. I thought that this was a great chance to do a photoshoot that looked like a real life shoot (nothing to gimmicky) so the girls really needed to step up and I dont really feel like they did

Chantal has been my early favorite and she finally brought it this week. Love her!

i feel their pain about being scared of heights....but seriously girls. the only drop you can REALLY see from your gargoyle perch....is the 3 foot drop off the platform you're standing on.

I agree, the episode was a total snooze-fest. I love Heather (even though she kind of sucked this week) and Jenah...I really hope one of them wins.

I have no idea how Sarah is still here.

I still can't believe how bad Jenah's makeover is...
Ah, reality television competition shows. When you win, you don't even REALLY win. No one big actually wants to sign you. The whole deal is about giving the viewers what they want, not giving the competition your all. Ugh. There's just no point!
Benny Ninja kept me watching this show. But overall I'm losing interest in it. But I keep watching out of routine I guess!

haha i was so surprised when dani talked w/o her drawl. now if they'd give the same speech lessons to jaslene... anyhoo, i think lisa is so gorgeous but wish she'd grow some confidence. hopefully this week helped. i'm really glad that there are a lot of girls to like in this cycle. i get so disappointed when there isn't anyone i want to root for.
My faves from this shoot were Chantal, Lisa, Heather and Ebony.
i'm rooting for chantal. i love her. i was disappointed with her last week, but this week she definitely brought it. i love her.

lisa, chantal and ebony did so well!
Top Model is getting so tired. Tyra is getting to be so annoying. I have a suspicion that she hates blond girls or anyone without some crazy sob story. The ice skating part was hilarious though.
ANTM is running out of photoshoot ideas. Flowers in a garden?Rock climbing couture? Fashion Gargoyles that didnt look Gargoyley at all, more like Fashion "bad eighties spandex top ponytail" girls. I thought they would be all grey and winged and crumbly. Besides that the girls arent looking as great as i would have hoped, Lisas hair is bothering me that short and curly and greasy. Ebonys teeth sucking, the Tootie hair on saliesha, these girls DO NOT know how to show up to Panel!!! I think that Tyra is spreading herself too thin (talk show, ANTM, Etc) so her ideas for this show are thinning.
BTW. Jaslenes Cover Girl commercials...Atrocious. I was in the kitchen thought it was some deaf person.

I agree, Jaslene needs serious help speaking. This is AMERICA'S Next Top Model, not Puerto Rico's. Anyway, I thought Chantal was the best. I hate Lisa's hair. It looks like AC Slater's wet-look from the early 90's. I also loved Bianca's photo. I'm glad she's liking her short hair, because it looks beautiful on her.

Is Jaslene deaf? She really sounds like she is
- 5 years ago Report Comment
I know, Jaslene's voice is horrible. She was raised in the states so I don't know why her accent. I think she just doesn't try to hide it.
I'm not attached nor worked up yet this year... have'nt grown any attachments to anyone. I usually hate at least one or two by now.

Hey Pink Bunny, It's not an accent thing with Jaslene it's just a WTF thing. She should be omitted from all speaking engagements. She and Beyonce need diction coaches STAT

Still love Heather! I really wish Ebony would open up. If I didn't know any better I'd think it was her with social anxiety. CaterpillarGirl you make me laugh! haha
When we were watching this, my roommate said that Ambreal's pose makes her look like a swastika, and he's totally right!! Now whenever I look at that picture, it's all I see!
Janet shouldnt of went home, sarah sux she needs to go

Fashion gargoyles! That was a pretty weak sauce idea for a photoshoot. That said, there were a few shots that I found aesthetically pleasing. I kind of wish Ambreal went home this week. She's a bit cocky and I seriously don't see the "Top Model" look in her.

They are seriously running out of ideas if "downtown gargoyles" was a shoot.

i thought sarah was gonna go home... i'm not liking chantal this episode and she's really annoying so i don't mind. still no favorites for me... let's give it one more week...but i still don't like bianca, she's such a hater...
nah, i think they'll keep ebony around for a bit. they were crazy though because the plus girl had the worst picture!

I think Lisa and Ebony did the best in the photo shoot. But Ebony's personality is so weird!
