'America's Next Top Model' - 'Chubby Bunny' Recap

Tyra with Krista and her family(S14E12) The girls on this season of 'America's Next Top Model' are crazy. After the actual final episode, Tyra realized that she could milk another episode. This recap episode had so much craziness that we didn't have to relive the taco fire or Angelea's club walk.

Tyra did an interesting job finding that perfect dynamic at the model home. There was enough arguments that the most normal girl would want to pull her hair out. It didn't help that Andre Leon Talley was criticizing the girls for a lack of pedicure or that Pat Cleveland as a mentor was a bit spacey. After the jump, here is some incite about the contestants.
Naduah - Slept in sexy lingerie for no real purpose. While she would have been interesting to survive a few more episodes, she probably didn't bring any drama to the house anyway.

Ren - Did Ren actually say that four bottles of wine was enough for one night? That makes me a bit nervous. At least before self-eliminating herself, she threw a party.

Brenda - The hair incident with Krista was an interesting side-story, but my real question is why the professionals didn't clean the mess that they made? That just looked bad on their part. The house divided storyline (Brenda/Raina/Jessica vs. Kristia/Angelea/Alasia/Anslee) was probably her biggest downfall, but watching all four girls against her lay the smack down on her in front of Miss J was gratifying.

Anslee - Alcohol is an interesting element that we never got to see with most of the girls, but that girl was good at popping the booty. The party Anslee was clearly a clash to her "supporting mother" storyline.

Alasia - Not even having the scene where Alasia knocks on the elevator door shows that Alasia was amazing television. I laughed hysterically as she screamed at her deodorant and Nair. When Angelea can call her crazy, you know she's crazy. Fortunately, we get an extra scene of Alasia having a really bad first impression on go-sees; she needs some time to get out and grow up.

Jessica - I liked how funny she actually was, but seriously who doesn't know whether Hawaii is a state or country? Stating that England was near Canada was the final nail in the coffin.

Alexandra - Other than being Chubby Bunny champion and being hit by a pendulum, the plus sized model faded into the background until the girls went to New Zealand. Her impressions of Angelea and Anslee were amusing. I'm just confused by how Alexandra was so willing to jump into the murky water of a lake; there had to be a chance a deadly bacteria was there.

Angelea - Angelea represented the 716 area code but claimed that she could be "classy ghetto." While I'm pretty sure that was juxtaposition, she managed to be really friendly with the go-sees and Andre Leon Talley.

Raina - I love that Raina was a fake liar. She talked smack like the rest of the home. Watching Tyra add her MS Paint of the devil horns every time she lied was hysterical. The added touch was the Pinocchio nose. It was cute seeing her squish a cockroach and give it a name, Bubba Jones, and her boyfriend is creative enough to make an elephant crotch.

Krista - Krista's direct attitude grew on me so her calling out Raina for calling her "drag" was okay with me. If anyone wants to write in their diary, they should do it in private. It was nice to see that Miss J actually gave the final two a teach, so the final runway was more impressive to me.

In the end I think that the right model won. Tyra likes to hit all "types" of model (short, plus-sized, blond, Latina) so having Krista being "Old" fits right in. The big question is: when will Tyra pick an Asian winner? Have any final statements about Cycle 14? Leave comments below.

Tyra always does a behind the scenes episode; she just did us all a favor and slated it after the finale instead of annoying us all by slating it right before the finale.

I picked the final two pretty early, but, Krista really set the competition on fire the last 4-5 weeks. It was her's to lose.
