TOPMOD: Maybe you should try acting, instead ...

Molly's winning shot (Pottle Productions Inc)

Every Thursday our pop-culture critic Bianca Brown gives a catty, smile-with-your-eyes lowdown on cycle 16 of America's Next Top Model.

This week Brittani gloated that Alex the “drama-bitch” is gone. Molly keeps bitching about being adopted. Lara Spencer from The Insider (poor man’s E! News) tells the models they’ll do a 90-second live shot about a fashion trend in Morocco. They were each paired with an expert on their item and had to find a English-speaking Moroccan to interview.

Brittani did a cool shot of henna designs, interviewed a Moroccan man who said “Yes" and nothing else, and was cut off two seconds before she finished. Molly was more professional with black kohl. She didn’t sign off, but wasn’t cut off mid-sentence. Hannah was bubbly about arman oil, but talked too much and ignored her expert. Molly won the challenge. Hannah got weepy and felt she won the challenge “in her heart.” Um, ok.

Tyra visited Dar Doukkala to chat with the girls. Molly cried about being adopted, Brittani revealed that her mom is agoraphobic and Hannah was just chillin’. Tyra photographed the girls with eye designs and taught them how to isolate body parts during photo shoots. Then they all did a dance with Moroccan drummers in tasseled beanies. Say what you will, Tyra Banks seems like a lot of fun.

Photo shoot on the beach! Nigel Barker shot the models in Moroccan wedding dresses complete with henna tattoos and a sexy male model named Younes. Brittani wasn’t comfy being sexy so she chose a breakup narrative and cried for her photos. Hannah tried to be Actors’ Studio, but that’s not for everyone, and her photos were a little posed.

All models had their hair slicked back at panel for some reason. Tyra loved the shoot so much that she chose two photos for each woman. The judges liked the emotion in Brittani’s shoot. She can cry on cue, make up narratives — maybe Brittani should try acting for real. Molly’s photos were sensual and she was really into Younes. Hannah had a whole “I want him, but I don’t know” storyline, and Andre Leon Talley wanted the belts in Molly’s photos.

Molly was called first for her heated photos. Tyra said Brittani’s photos were getting weaker, and the judges thought Hannah wasn’t stable enough for the industry, so Brittani stayed for her higher fortitude. Next week Molly and Brittani walk to the death in a Vivienne Westwood show, and we find out who will be America’s. Next. Top. Model.
