(S13E06) This season of America's Next Top Model continues the petite challenge by turning the girls into Anime/Video Game ninjas. Who suggests these photoshoots? I'm convinced that Tyra pulls things out of a hat.

The girls start the show with a whole ton of hating on two contestants. On America's Next Top Model: The Musical, Laura is portrayed as a backwards hick. On Survivor: Top Model, Nicole has been voted off for her monotone personality. This basically sets up the rest of the episode: the negative girls Sundai and Kara bitch, while the good models Nicole and Laura shrug it off and do well.

A challenge brings the girls to Wilhelmina. Lauren Shiohama, a 5'7" model, explains that they set up go-sees and a casting call. The girls are split into four groups each with cars and a map. That's unrealistic because models either a) won't have cars b) use taxis or c) have enough brains to buy a GPS. Like always, the girls are given a deadline of 4 PM and broken into four groups:

Jennifer & Erin
Brittany & Kara
Sundai & Rae
Nicole & Laura (how convenient that the show bashed both of them)

Two groups decide to go backwards from the furthest go-see. Erin & Rae are passed by Brittany & Kara because Rae drives like a concerned mother. The first go-see was at Neil Lane and it turns out that Kara never had her ears pierced. She automatically doesn't get booked.

Jennifer & Erin go to Rozae Nicols. Rozae notes that Jennifer wears too much eye makeup. This brings up an interesting thought. Jennifer will always end up wearing heavy eye makeup because of her droopy eyelid. If she didn't, she would only be a neck or hand model because of her uneven eyes.

One go-see is at Wong Doody, an ad agency. Nicole has an interesting look and apparently is acceptable. She didn't sound as boring and monotone. To show versatility, the girls are encouraged to try another accent. Laura tries "hood-rat." I've never heard of "hood-rat" and would never want to visit there. Rae does an interesting Minnesotan accent which she stole from Fargo.

Sundai continues to bitch about how Rae drives like a mother. I'm almost shocked that Sundai couldn't drive one section so she would shut up. Was she too short to reach the pedals? All the girls except for Rae & Sundai make it back to the agency in time. After berating Rae and Sundai, Sean Patterson makes them leave. After critiques, the winner was Nicole. She received a prize from each go-see and a commercial. Of course, Kara and Sundai complain and call her monotone.

The photoshoot this week involves several forms of Asian weapons. The girls have to combine elegant martial arts with model poses. With the help of photographer Patricia Von Ah, the models have a two part shoot: half on the ground, half in the air suspended on a wire. Three photos will be combined to create a story of movement. Mr. Jay is looking for both core strength and dramatic poses. The girls were provided with a martial arts professional.

Nicole gets to choose her weapon and picks the "classic sword." She made sure her two fingers were pointed. I'm sure she learned that from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Nicole's had more passion and angles then last week. Jay warns her about her sleeve covering her face and she never did.

In make-up, Kara gets a smokey eye and Nicole compares it to when you burn the edges of paper. Kara gets pissed off about it. In full karma, Kara struggles and Jay screams at her for not listening to the trainer.

As for the rest of the girls, Jennifer chooses the weapon that Kabal had in Mortal Kombat. She channels her inner Asian warrior. Erin looked like a magical elf. Laura used the nunchuck and made beautiful, very model-like leans to extend her body. Brittany was uncoordinated, yet the photos said otherwise. I've grown tired of Rae's deer-in-headlight face. Sundai's double swords lacks grace. She complains about everything when she's done.

The girls arrive at eliminations and the guest judge is Jessica White. Most of the girls get mixed reviews, having one pose that outshone the other two. Jennifer gets good compliments, but I'm upset that her two shots on the left and right look like they were mirror imaged. Laura has elegance and Nicole had strength, but Nigel complains about her monotonous voice.

After the judging, Tyra announces that the top photo was Nicole. She is followed by Laura, Brittany, Erin, Jennifer, and Rae. The bottom two are Kara (strong face, getting weak) and Sundai (always does a 3/4th profile). Somehow, Sundai survives another week and Kara is sent home. Next week will be more of the same, but this time at the set of The Insider.

Do you think Sundai deserved to survive? Leave comments below.
