Make Me A Supermodel:

With the photos done, it's time for Indira to decide the two winners and who will be going to Montreal's Fashion Week. The best photo of the week goes to Amanda's angry dance photo, this is back to back photo challenge wins for Amanda and the first back-to-back win all season. Branden had the second best photo of the week, making him the first guy to win a go-see. Both Amanda and Branden get to bring a friend to the go-see: Amanda chooses Mountaha and Branden chooses Colin. Shawn says that he thinks Branden wasted a spot on Colin, but I think that's just a jealous old man talking smack. Amanda, Branden, Colin and Mountaha are picked up by a tour bus and they are ecstatic about it, like a Lear jet pulled up and picked them up. Branden is screaming about how "this is how supermodels role, baby." Which cracks me up, I doubt many supermodels travel in tour buses. Still, it's an incredibly cute moment.

When the models get to Montreal the girls go to a go-see for Christen Chenall and the guys are seeing designer Dien Bah. Bah wants a more relaxed walk for his 80's inspired runway show and Branden's natural walk is perfect, the designer loves him. While Colin struggles with his first pass, after the designer asks Colin to be more masculine and sexy, he really improves his walk. Dien Bah says he loves both the guys and they both book the gig. The girls are doing just as well at their go-sees. Both girls both gave a serious strut, and were asked to walk in the runway show. Wow, everyone got booked, after no one had been booked at the previous go-sees. At the fashion show Colin is pleasantly surprised how beautiful the women are and how willing they are to talk and flirt with him. His excitement lessens when the object of his affection tells him she is 16. Ha! Be sure your first conquest is legal Colin. Everyone does really well during their runway shows, all of them look like professional models and aren't out of place at all. These four a seriously stepping up their game, so everyone better watch out.

Back at the house, Gabriel is missing Amanda, which is kind of the sweetest thing he's ever said or done. Salome asks if Gabe has a plan of attack, because she thinks Amanda would make out with him. Gabe feigns shock, but I just love that this swaggering jack-ass is getting love advice from Miss Almost Amish herself. With Kerryn hotly pursuing Colin and Amanda and Gabe's blossoming romance, there could definitely be some loving in the Supermodel house this season. That is, if the guys don't get kicked off the show before their relationships are consummated.

For this week's runway challenge the models will be donning heavy make-up and avant garde pieces. Nicole tells the models "fashion shows are all about beauty, but it can also be performance art." Today's runway show will be more of the later. This week the models will be styled as "freaks" and their walks should juxtapose the elegance of their outfit and their shocking make up. Colin, who has just gotten his regular runway walk down, is freaked out about doing a more advanced runway strut. Jordan walks the runway first and while she looks good, it's nothing extraordinary. Jonathan is up next and his performance is really over the top. I can't decide if it was too over the top, or just what the judges were looking for. Colin looks like a drunk renaissance nerd and that is definitely not what the judges were looking for. CJ takes the freak routine really far, which impresses me since she's so afraid of doing something "stupid."

Kerry, who has immunity, takes her walk totally over the top. She acts like she is pulling herself down the runway on a rope, it's kind of fabulous and definitely very strange. Oh no, here comes Shawn, and um, his runway walk is laughable. Instead of looking like a freak, he looks like he's a dancing disco ball at a gay dance club. It is hands down, the weakest runway walk of the entire season. Amanda takes too long on the runway and decides to add a little sex appeal to the freak show, by blowing the judges a kiss. Strange. Gabriel looks amazing with his make up, but does nothing of interest on the runway. This guy is gorgeous, but so dull. Laury's runway walk is pose after pose and is pretty darn amazing. Salome's poses are good, but overall her runway walk is awkward. Branden hits the runway with crazy confidence and the judges are eating it up. Despite wearing one of the most over the top costumes, Mountaha seems to struggle with connecting to her inner freak. Last but not least is Sandhurst. Sandhurst's walk is perfection. It's exactly what the judges asked for, he was like a gorgeous 12-packed Marilyn Manson freak, but so much better.

The judges tally up their scores and I am shocked that Gabe is called in the first safe group, despite his poor walk. The models with the highest and lowest scores remain on the runway: Amanda, Branden, Colin, Laury, Jonathan, Sandhurst and Shawn. The judges hated Shawn's walk and I agree--it was awful. Just like his photo shoot, Shawn is just way too intensely over the top. Amanda's walk confused the judges, especially her little kiss during the runway. Perou says she turned it into a porno theme and thinks her photo shoot was also too overtly sexual. This makes Amanda bawl on the runway and leads Maggie Rizer to quote Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own, "There's no crying in modeling." The judges say Colin's walk was terrible, but he struck a strong pose at the end. Maggie Rizer wants to set Branden up with her 18 year-old sister, which has to be a good thing, right? The judges loved that Sandhurst and Laury took a chance on the runway, but neither of their photos impressed. Everyone is impressed with Jonathan on both the runway and in his photos, can Jonathan finally win please?

It's time for elimination and I am positive that Shawn's disco runway walk will be the end of him. Sandhurst and Laury are both safe, which is not surprising. Branden and Jonathan are the top performers of the week, which is the first time the guy's have taken the top two spots. The judges tell Branden that he's once again impressed the judges with his talent and that his photo could be part of an ad campaign. When the judges turn to Jonathan they tell him "a good model can rely on his good looks, but a supermodel needs to bring more to the table. This week you showed us you could do that." Hooray! Or as Jonathan said in his adorable British accent, "finally, finally, finally!" Jonathan has immunity next week. The judges tell Amanda that she needs to learn when and when not to emote, but that she is safe. Of course, this makes Amanda cry. So, just like the top two, the bottom two this week is made up of the guys: Colin and Shawn. While Colin was awkward, at least he wasn't ridiculous. The judges tell Colin he needs to stop saying he has no experience as a model, because he does now, but that he is safe. Phew! Shawn is told that he "has an intense passion for modeling, unfortunately it is way over the top," which we think was a very nice way for the judges to put it.
