America's Next Top Model, Cycle 11, Episode 8 Recap!

I have been following America's Next Top Model since the first season began airing. It seemed like yesterday the very first season began airing, but believe it or not Americas Next Top Model managed to stick around for 11 cycles... and counting!

Usually I am able to spot which of the girls will make it to the top 3, and I have a pretty good idea of who will make it to the top 3 slot this season.

In episode 8 (cycle 11) Tyra coaches the remaining competitor in finding their signature pose. One by one the girls take turns trying to find their inner pose, some fail, and others such as Marjorie do a wonderful job at finding their signature pose. In the middle of posing Tyra allows them to see their poses on a computer monitor and gives them tips on how to improve them. Some take her advice and use it, and others continue to struggle (such as Laure Brie).

Little to their knowledge the whole one on one coaching was a challenge that Marjorie ends up winning. Marjorie is allowed to choose one friend to go to a local diamond jewelery store to pick a piece of jewelery.

Shortly after the challenge the models are taken to a large Opera stadium where their next photo shoot will be taking place. The theme is basically embarrassing moments that happen when we least expect it.

For instance Marjorie's shoot took place in a bathroom, she is wearing a gown and trying to portray having a difficult time getting her gown off to take a pee! Her shoot in particular stood out the most because it was hilarious, and she did a great job at portraying the 'poor girl, stuck in a fancy dress, when she has to pee look'.

Elina had to portray a Halle Berry moment of complete loss of control and tears, after winning an award. Elina struggles at first to create real emotion, and tears, but for some reason the panel thought they were forced tears, and have an issue with thinking Elina forces and controls everything (I don't get what they mean, but whatever). The tears looked pretty damn real to me though.
