I agree that the photo shoot was kind of lame. And Tyra shooting them... again? "For the FIRST TIME in top Model HISTORY!" (cue dramatic music)? Ehh. It seems like she's trying to sell herself as a photographer now, in addition to model, talk show host, reality tv host and (failed) singer. It looks to me like they get everything all set up and then just hand her the camera, which isn't quite the same as actually being a real photographer. Framing a shot and hitting the button is pretty simple. Also, she is the only photographer who changes wardrobes multiple times on multiple girls because she's "just not feeling it". Control freak? And if I hear her try to shove "H2T" and "smize" into another minute of air time, I'm going to scream.

Sorry, but she is just really bugging me this season. At this point she's the weird, annoying sideshow that gets in the way of what I actually want to see - the models themselves.

I'm loving Laura, Nicole and Jen, in that order. Erin is being a brat. If Hawaii is soooo awful (what with the hot sun and the scratchy sheets), I'd be happy to take your place, sweetie. I don't know how much of that is due to selective editing, but she came off very childish. Everybody blames it on her being 18, but Sundai is 18, too, and she manages to hold it together.

Oh, I also thought it was funny how Erin and whats-her-face-mathematician were holding hands in the bottom two after dumping on each other the entire show. I don't like either of them.
I think that she photographed another shoot to save money. They are cutting a lot of corners this season. Though Hawaii isn't cheap, it's cheaper than hauling a whole mess of people to some other country, getting permits and translators, etc.

I also thought that the two of them in the bottom two were holding hands. The episodes had been edited to show the "cat fight" brewing between them. Then again, why did Erin choose Brittany to go on the helicopter ride? ITA that Erin is a brat - the other girls would have killed for that ride.

Lastly, I really am rooting for Nicole, but you don't have to win ANTM to have success. Honestly, I think that some of those who haven't won in past seasons may have more success than the actual winners. I enjoy Nicole because she brings intent, emotion and action to her shoots. This last photo, she looked like she was climbing out of the sugar cane fields, instead of just standing there looking pretty.
