Britain's Next Top Model Mania

It's now time to find out who Britain's Next Top Model is! And Mecia and Sophie our two (dreadful) finalists fly back to London and find they'll be staying in the Mayfare hotel. After all the glitz and glamour of the hotel they're whisked off to an interview with PPQ the label they'll be walking for. The interviewers are impressed with both models and their portfolios and send them off to meet Peaches Geldof! A celebrity who has walked for the label before, she gives them tips on how to walk and models that she currently likes such as Agyness Deyn. Peaches also gives them a LISA MAIL which will explains they'll be going to meet the editor of the SUN newspaper a British tabloid magazine. Sophie tells the edtor Mecia is dull and uninspiring which Mecia learns about (and is shocked about!), let the bitching begin ladies! Back at the Mayfare Lisa meets up with both the girls individually and asks them what it would feel like to win the competition which brings them both to tears.

It's now time to practice for the final catwalk and the girls begin by meeting with the fashion show producer who gives them a few tips before the rehearsal. The rehearsal is horrifically dreadul, Sophie walks too quickly and Mecia's legs look like they're glued together, but it's all made better when Jodie Kidd (Lisa's strictly come dancing rival) arrives to give the girls a few tips. Sophie's walk does improve but Mecia is still stiff, I'm pretty sure Jade would have done better than both of them but nevermind. As the guests begin arriving at the fashion show we can see a few guest stars including abi clancy and all the BNTM evictees who give their takes on who they think will win. Sophie's up first and gives a fierce walk, Mecia's walk is so much better than during rehearsals! They both do pretty well actually but Lisa ruins the equilibrium by announcing that tonight the judges will be announcing who has won the contest.

After the break it's time for an elimination live in front of the audience that watched the fashion show. Sophie's up first and is shown her "runway moment", Lisa tells her she struts like a dream and Louis says she's finally been polished. We're also shown an image of Sophie at the end of the catwalk which looks great, she looks strong and elegant. As for Mecia's walk Lisa loves the power in her strut and Huggy can't say how proud she is of Mecia. As for her runway photo it's couture heaven, she looks dominant and like Sophie elegant. After a very cringeworthy deliberation where Huggy basically says every picture is worthy of being in Italian VOGUE the results are in! Lisa goes through the prizes and then tells the girls that the winner of Britain's Next Top Model will appear on a TV screen in ten seconds. And that girl is.....MECIA! I hated Sophie and even I thought she deserved to win but nevermind. Lisa explains why she won by saying she "has it all" and Huggy tells us how wonderful it was to work with her. To finish off the night Mecia also gets a ring from her boyfriend who proposed earlier in the series. Aww, I wish Mecia the best of luck and Can't wait to see her COMPANY magazine cover

Eliminated Girl-Sophie Sumner

Special Guests-Abi Clancy, Peaches Geldof, Jodie Kidd

This weeks pictures will be up ASAP

This week we're in for a treat as there's two hours of Britain's Next Top Model action! And as the episode begins we learn the girls are off to Buenos Aires fashion week where they're met by Kika who tells them they won't be walking the catwalks they'll be working behind the scenes (yay?). Sophie is assisting a hairdresser where as Jade works with Gabi who gets the models from A to B. Mecia works with a designer called Lucia helping dress models. The girls are a bit annoyed that the Argentinian models look bored and uninspired which to be honest they did! The day ends with a little montage of each girl explaining how they want to be infront of the scenes not behind it.

After the break a LISA MAIL explains they'll be having a photo shoot at 4AM portraying a famous Argentinian icon. They go to Tigre and are met by Huggy who will be the photographer this week, she also tells them the two finalists will be walking at Buenos Aires fashion week! Jade is shot just as the sun is rising and she's portraying Eva Peron (Evita) in the stage of her life where she was a dancer but worried at whether she will make anything of her self. Her first shots are stunning and for her second shots she has to be a happy filled dancer which also goes well. Sophie begins by crying but steps it up on set when she's asked to portray Evita in the poor stage of her life. Some of her pictures look great but she isn't sure she's done enough. Mecia's wearing a hideous blonde wig and portrays the powerful Evita, personally I think she overacted but Huggy looked impressed. Back at the house the girls are welcomed by a LISA MAIL that tells them they'll soon be facing the judges in another tough elimination.

At the final elimination reality sets in that only two girls of the three can go through, Sophie is first and the judges love her picture even though she looks like a street cleaner. Huggy states she always thought Sophie was commercial but she has grown into an editorial woman. Her beauty shot is so much better, she looks stunning, high fashion and FIERCE! Jade's next and the shape of her body in her first picture is amazing! She looks so dazzling and Lisa also comments it's high fashion. As for her beauty shot she's showing so much emotion it's unreal! She also breaks down stating that she was vulnerable before the show and always felt low but this competition has changed her. Mecia's first picture her "moment on the balcony" is very graceful and elegant plus very memorable of Eva Peron, her beauty shot is showing emotion but in my opinion it looks extremely fake, like she's acting. The judges buy it though and say it's a really nice picture. After a very long deliberation Lisa announces that the two girls walking in Buenos Aries fashion week are Sophie and Mecia. WHAT!? Jade had the most amazing pictures throughout the show, a brilliant walk and a great personality but she's apparently "too thin" yet Mecia's there whose pictures have been utter rubbish? I think it's utter disgusting how they have nothing but praise for her yet they still get rid of her?

First Call Out-Sophie Sumner

Eliminated Girl-Jade McSorley

We're so close to crowning our new Britain's Next Top Model! But this week the actions heating up in more ways than one, that action starts with a Lisa Mail that tells them they have to "lose their stiff upper lip". So the girls arrive at their location to meet a bunch of Tango dancers, they're then told they have to learn the tango and they'll be performing it on the streets of Buenos Aires! Mecia's up first and gives us some slow...but still sexy moves. Jade works it and Sophie tangos her "little ass off". Ashley just looks at her feet and fails to impress. Back at the house Ashley's still annoyed that Mecia got a video message from her boyfriend last week which causes Sophie to get a bit annoyed. Ashley starts to scream obscenities at everyone which is even more hilarious when it's in a Scottish accent!

After the break the girls are driven to Argentina's premier modelling agency for interviews. Ashley tells the interviewers she doesn't eat healthily and never excercises, pretty much a fail then I guess? Mecia is asked which picture from her portfolio she likes best and she practically says everyone. Jade is (no prizes for guessing) asked about her diet, how she answers professionally which impresses the interviewers. Sophie says her excercise comes from shopping...yeah I wish. After the interviews they meet with Bernito Fernandez a top fashion designer in Argentina who has a casting with the girls. Sophie is praised on her great personality and Ashley is told her runway is nice. Mecia's catwalk however looks very amateur where as Jade is told she has everything needed to be a model. After the casting the girls meet with Louis who has feedback on the challenge, the winning girl gets a stunning couture dress and it's Jade! And it looks amazing on her, but the other girls aren't too happy.

Now it's time for the girls to party and randomly (on the producers part)  Ivan their tour guide on the previous episode also arrives to get with Ashley, which doesn't take long. He's then snogging her face off like he's been deprived of women his whole life. Ashley describes it as "dry sex" and it's all pretty disgusting to say the least! This week their photographer is Candelaria Gil and for their photo shoot they'll be doing a "tango" shoot wearing high fashion outfits and the best model will be featured in an issue of a high fashion catalogue. Sophie's wearing a simple black dress with beyond huge sleeves but she does well. Ashley has to embrace a door in a stunning Valentino esque-dress. Her face, however doesn't look as stunning and she looks so bored. Jade is given a highly editorial outfit and works her sexy nature! The photographer loves her and says she has done perfect. Mecia looks quite awkward and hates working with a male model, not good. The finishing line is in site and the girls presume two of them will be leaving tonight.

At panel this weeks' guest judge is the client they worked with on their photo shoot. Jade's up first and her picture is full on sexy! Ashley's picture on the other hand falls flat yet again and she looks very stiff. Mecia is extremely worried but personally I love her picture! She looks sexy and is working that male model! Finally, Sophie's picture is very dramatic which the judges love, especially Louis. After deliberation the call out order goes as follows:

1.Jade

2.Sophie

So in the bottom two it's Mecia and Ashley. Mecia is told her facial expressions aren't strong enough, Ashley is told she's simply not got anything else to give. Tthe final name called is Mecia! Yes, finally! Ashley is sent home, about seven weeks too late but at least she's gone! Next Week the girls attend Buenos Aires Fashion week and in their final photo shoot they portray Argentinian icons! It's also a double episode

Eliminated Girl-Ashley Brown

This week the girls are off to Buenos Aires! As soon as they get home they start packing and are ready to board a plane to Argentina where the weather is hot! Their new home is a dazzlingly beautiful stone house, but before looking around they dive into the pool and get themselves a LISA MAIL! It hints that someone will be visiting, but it's not Lisa it's Ivan a top Argentinian model who Viola immediately falls for. He takes them on a whistle-stop tour of Buenos Aires pointing out places of interest, however, Viola's only interested in Ivan who doesn't seem to share the same affections...After the tour Lisa meets up witht he girls dressed in some British polo attire and she tells them they'll be selling clothes to fashionistas and sports players. Mecia starts the show with a confident walk that impresses Lisa. Sophie looks cold and bored and Viola walks like a chicken (Ivan wouldn't be proud!). Jade looks extremely edgy and has a proffesional walk which delights Lisa. Ashley also does very well in the fashion show which is pleasing but what pleases the girls more is when they're told they can join the party downstairs!

After the break the girls get an early start when they're taken out of town into the middle of nowhere. However, they're not the only ones out there as the girls meet a casting director and some hot male models. Well everyone minus Ashley says they're hot she states she "likes a bit of rough". They're promoting Argentinian beef and Jade does ok but takes a while to get it perfect. Ashley just stares at the camera however her Spanish line is delivered really well. Mecia's commercial falls flat and she fails to impress anyone (even the male models and they were being caressed by her!). Sophie does really well even though she still looks like a ferret but Viola cracks under the pressure and constantly forgets her lines. At the end of the day we realise they're clearly not in the middle of nowhere as a group of people walk past the camera! But onto more important matters Sophie is told she's the winner of the challenge (again).

It's now time for the photo shoot and this week it will be taking place on the Argentinian salt lakes. They meet with Caroline Reynolds the manager for 'Skin Bliss' who tells the girls the best girl from todays shoot will take part in a national advertising campaign for the company. However, they're also told the air is thin up there so they may feel faint and dizzy. This weeks photographer is once again Rachel Joseph and Ashley is up first. The girls won't be wearing much clothing which phases her slightly but she still manages to get a nice shot. Viola is placed in the salt water which makes for a nice picture but her posture isn't brilliant. Sophie is sat against a rock which looks extremely painful (HA!) but she manages to pull through even though she's pulling the same face she does in every photo shoot. Mecia struggles to begin with but her personality really comes through. Jade is loved by both Rachel and Caroline and once again gets some stunning shots. Just before the break we get a montage showing how much the girls want it, it's pretty cheesy but at least we know they want to win.

At panel this weeks guest judge is Caroline Reynolds and things heat up as this week we will also be shown their Argentinian commercials! Mecia's commercial is shockingly wooden but her photo is ok, she just doesn't have enough eye contact. Jade's picture is once again strikingly beautiful but we don't get to see her commerical so it most likely wasn't humorous or shockingly bad. Viola's commercial is in that latter catagory but her picture is beautiful. Caroline does comment on how she lacked a bit of sparkle. Ashley is told she giggled a lot during her commercial but her picture is compared to that of a gorgeous Snow White, personally I just see a cold hamster. Sophie's eyes have clearly been photoshopped yet once again she wins and is told she'll be featured in the 'Skin Bliss campaign'. I'm sick of the judges praising her work, she's bland and I've hated nearly every one of her pictures! After deliberation the call out order goes as follows:

1.Sophie

2.Jade

3.Mecia

Which means in the bottom two this week are Ashley and Viola. Ashley is told she's not taking the competition seriously but Viola is told she's lacking personality. In the end the final name called is Ashley...seriously? They kept hamster cheeks over a 6 ft Hungarian goddess. The only person that deserves to be Britain's Next Top Model is Jade! Anyway, next week the girls learn tango and go on go-sees all over Buenos Aires!

I'm here again, blogging another exciting episode of Britain's Next Top Model! And this week starts off with a meeting with the editor in chief of Company Magazine. They also learn they'll be having a hoto shoot with Rock and Roll band the script! Ashley's up first and does quite well, impressing Diana Gomez the photographer. Viola on the other hand looks like she's catching flies. Daisy really impresses the client  with her flirting but Mecia comes across looking too commercial. Jade wows but falls over a numerous amount of times and Sophie looks very edgy. The winner is told they'll be going  to see the script tonight AND they'll also be able to hang out with them afterwards! Sophie is chosen as the winner (YAWN) and she chooses Daisy as a friend to go with her, this sparks a few feuds especially with Ashley who claims Sophie said she would always pick Ashley if she won a challenge.

After the break Lisa tells the girls they'll be having another challenge that will "wet their appetite". Viola assumes they'll be eating sushi which she is nervous about as she hates fish. Meanwhile, Sophie and Daisy meet up with The Script at their gig and get just a little bit drunk....The next morning they learn they'll be promoting a healthy image through Special K a breakfast cereal that Lisa Snowdon once did some huge campaigns for. They'll be diving into the swimming pool, getting out and then eating a delicious bowl of bland bran flakes! Viola is first but before she makes the dive she's given a few stern words by Lisa who claims she's not showing her personality. Viola pretends to take it in and then after her casting she simply walks off without saying thankyou. Mecia belly flops into the pool and Daisy gives across no warmth. Sophie chokes on a bran flake (thankyou God!) and Ashley spends her commercial sniffing up snot. Jade actually impresses the client who says she has the "brand look" but she needs a curvier body. Therefore, Lisa steps in to tell Jade and asks her about when the eating disorder started, in a pretty sad moment Jade explains that she's getting through it. In yet another crappy result Sophie wins! When will they realise she's about as modelesque as the Incredible Hulk!? Sophie is given a video message from her family as a prize but of course the other girls can't go without and Mecia get's a message from her boyfriend, where he proposes!!! I'm pretty sure Annaliese won't be the maid of honour. Ashley is upset she doesn't get to see her kids and takes it out on Viola, who seems to be the hated girl of this cycle even though she appears to be doing nothing wrong.

The next day Ashley is feeling the effects of a hangover and they realise they'll  be doing a beauty shot based on one day by Kate Moss and it will be shot by notified photographer Terry O Neill. A drunken Ashley fails to impress as she looks intoxicated...oh wait, she is! Daisy is told she has a dodgy left eye but she does get some pretty pictures. Viola who feels insecure about her nose is made to feel even worse when Terry states her nose is hideously big. Mecia is liked by Terry and is told she looks like a cover girl. Sophie's skin is commented on and she looks a bit bored. Finally, Jade really impresses with her alien-esque features. As if being shot by a famous photographer isn't enough, this week they get a private performance of the Argentine Tango by Lisa and her dance partner on Strictly Come Dancing 'Brendan Cole'. This performance is a hint at their over seas destination...BUENOS AIRES! The girls go crazy but of course one of them has to be eliminated before they get on the plane!

It's now time for the final elimination in England, this weeks guest judge is Terry O'neil and we're able to see both pictures taken by the girls this week. Ashley's first picture is praised as she looks cool and edgy, however she then admits she was hungover which is hugely criticised by Huggy who says she's "disgusted". Sophie's script shot recieved mixed reviews, her energy is praised but she looks like road kill in the face. Daisy's Kate Moss inspired picture is pretty but her mouth is extremely tense. Viola's script picture looks really fashion forward! Her other picture is liked by the judges but personally I think it's a little bit mediocre. Mecia is first congratulated on her engagement but the judges aren't too ecstatic about either of her pictures. Terry even comments she'd be better off as an actoress. Sophie's script picture is really edgy but she still looks like a horse. On the other hand her second picture is liked by Louis but it still doesn't seem as good as it should be now in the competition. Finally, Jade's script picture isn't loved, however, Huggy tells her Kate Moss inspired picture is BETTER than Kate's! It is pretty drop dead gorgeous. After deliberations the call out order goes as follows:

1.Jade

2.Viola

3.Sophie

4.Mecia

Meaning in the bottom two it's Ashley and Daisy, a position they've both been in before. Ashley is told she's consistently gotten stronger where as Daisy is praised on her height and passion of the fashion industry. In the end the final name called is Ashley, which personally I can't believe. Ashley looks like a hamster! She hasn't got the attitude and she hasn't delivered any editorial pictures. Oh well...next week the girls land in Buenos Aires, have another commercial casting and take part in a sexy photo shoot!

It's getting ever so close to finding out this year's overseas destination! But of course another girl has to go tonight. The episode begins with a teary note for Mecia from Hayley but of course Lisa breaks that depression with a LISA MAIL that tells them they'll be going on go sees! After a quick meet and greet at Models 1 they all run to their first location where they learn they'll be taking part in an advert for a herbal diarrohoea remedy (LOL!). Daisy'sup first and does mediocrely where as Annaliese show's the discomfort of runny bowels on her face. Viola's casting is hilarious, she doesn't even know what diarrohoea is and fails to find a sachet of 'imodium' in her handbag. Ashley on the other hand goes into a little too much detail and explains how the runny poo is hardened when using 'imodium'...nevermind.

After the break they visit their next and final casting where they learn one girl will be modelling along side Daisy Lowe based on their performance in the casting. The girls are asked to do a sexy catwalk and then have to answer questions. Ashley is asked who her style icon is and she replies "I don't know I'm used to flicking through Argos catalogues". Jade is told she's too thin for this brand which upsets her a lot even though she knows it's true. Back at models 1 Annaliese is told she impressed 'imodium' whereas Mecia won the second casting for Pearl Lowe. The next LISA MAIL hints at something to do with flying which worries most of the girls, they visit 'air kicks' a stunt flying place where they learn they'll be doing a mock commercial for 'rice cakes' Annaliese who is expected to do amazingly falls a little flat...Jade and Mecia do quite well and before Viola went on Sophie told her that 5 people died a year doing this which puts her off. Daisy also comments that she looks like a pig ina  wind tunnel, but Sophie and Daisy impress the client. Ashley is flown around the tunnel and states the line "lighten up your day with these delicious rice cake bites" to the cameraman. Daisy eventually wins and decides to choose Sophie as a partner to take to a fashion party.

Sophie and Daisy set off for the fashion party which is held at the Vanilla Restaurant where they're met by Abbey Clancy after a bit of ironic bitching about her cousin Chloe! She talks about her experience on Britain's Next Top Model, however she doesn't seem to impress as on the way home they decide to trick the other girls by saying they met a fictional couture designer "Dejore Munaio" Jade foolishly believes them and starts saying how she loves this made up person! But straight away it's off to the photo shoot where they'll be doing another urban shoot infront of a burning car. Up first it's Sophie who looks like a prostitute but the photographer Rachel Joseph seems to like her. Daisy looks so glamorous but fails to give the X-factor. Ashley looks sad and the pictures just don't work. Viola however gives some very editorial shots. Annaliese in a very colourful dress over thinks the concept and fails to impress.Mecia's energy is praised but her poses fall a little flat. Once again Jade wows the team and gives some gorgeous pictures!

At elimination we're introduced to the regular judges aswell as Abbey Clancy who'll be helping judge this week. Sophie's up first but her contorted body isn't impressing Huggy. The hunchback is way too concaved! Sophie's picture is nice but way too simple...why is she getting worse!? Ashley's body is ok but her face looks so bland and she's disconnected from the car. As for Annaliese her picture is exciting but way too over the top! She kind of looked like a clown...Viola is back on track with another gorgeous picture (she looks 7ft tall!) but Louis isn't impressed with her demeanour in panel. Jade unfortunately also fails with a picture that doesn't fit the brief. Finally Mecia get's some praise for being professional and sexy. After deliberation the call out order goes as follows:

1.Mecia

2.Viola

3.Jade

4.Ashley

5.Daisy

That means in the bottom two is Sophie and Annaliese, Sophie is told she's simply lucky and Annaliese is criticized on being too catalogue. In the end the final name called is Sophie. Next week rock band 'The Script' drop in to meet the girls and a photographic legend shoots some beaut shots!

8 girls remain and this week the action heats up as the girls are taken to stunt school, straight away they're paired up and we get to seem some pretend punching and hair pulling. The funniest part definitely had to be when they used break away glass and smashed it over each others heads, Viola seemed to be getting very angry. This caused some controversy back at the house when Sophie began to turn on Viola stating she was a poser and had anger problems. But this anger turned when the girls realised their next challenge was coming up!

After the break they meet with the director of "faith" shoes and learn they'll be posing for an ad campaign with their photographer being Michele Civelli. The two girls that impress them the most will feature in "Faith" windows nationwide! Sophie's pictures look pretty rubbish to me but the director is impressed. With Hayley she's told she has to stomp down stairs which proves a struggle as she often loses her face, she does get some nice pictures though. Jade is om a windowsill posing and she looks gorgeous! However, the stylists do comment on her being too thin. Daisy is sat on the antique stairs but the director comments that she doesn't have "that something extra"...not a good sign. Viola is dressed as an angel (complete with a harp!) but she looks a bit too awkward. Annalieses energy proves a winner once more as she creates some very unique poses. Ashley gets nervous but does do quite a good job. Mecia is asked to leap across the room in 6 inch heeels, LOL! She starts off badly but really improves towards the end.  During the deliberation Mecia is praised on her enthusiasm and Viola is told she needs more confidence. The winners are eventually Ashley and Sophie (WHAT!!) They shouldn't be in the competition anyway but Annaliese and Jade were ten times better. As an extra bonus they also get pampered for the day in which Sophie just bitches about the other girls throughout.

It's only been a week since the last amazing photo shoot but this week they're wearing more of Louis' hats in an underwater extravaganza! Their photographer this week is Zena Holloway and the girls are given some temporary mermaid esque weaves ready for the shoot. Sophie explains how hard the photo shoot is to us as they have to go underwater grab Louis' shell crown whole posing in extravagant dresses but she does quite well. Daisy tells us of how she had a lung operation a year ago which means she has less lung capacity and can't hold her breath for as long, but she still does well. Ashley also manages to give a good shoot. Hayley doesn't feel confident and loooks quite scared underwater. Mecia ends up looking crazy but Annaliese gives some gorgeous editorial pictures. Viola looks terrified and doesn't do too well. Jade starts off nervous but gives some AMAZING pictures! Viola causes another uproar at the house when she states that winning the competition would be a pain on her normal life. The girls confronting her causes her to cry but while Mecia comforts her Ashley decides to take the bitching even further, causing a fight between the two of them. Resulting in Ashley having the last word "shut up you cow!"

At judging we're introduced to the guest judge this week Debbie Geffin who styled the girls. First up it's Daisy who loves her picture however Huggy comments on her looking old EEEK! Hayley's picture is horrifically bad, her face is off and she looks short. Annaliese is told how she looks too athletic, whereas Sophie's fae looks smushed but she does quite well. Viola's picture is very pretty and she shows off the dress. Jade amazes the judges again with her hypnotic expression, but Ashley's body looks nice however her face is really off. Topping up the number of extremely bad pictures this week is Mecia who looks dead. After deliberation the callout order goes as follows:

1.Jade

2.Viola

3.Ashley

4.Sophie

5.Annaliese

6.Mecia

That means in the bottom two we have Daisy and Hayley, Diaisy is told she's produced some good shots however she's told she doesn't look young enough. Hayley is told she's falling behind but in the end Hayley is sent home. Next week glamour model Abi Clancy arrives to give the girls a few lessons (how weird would it have been if Chloe was still in the competition?!) and the girls go on London go sees!

Sorry for the delay in this episode recap everyone! But here it is and to get things started the girls find an ice sculpture hidden in the kitchen that holds a Lisa Mail, it explains that tomorrow they'll need to wrap up warm and they're given hats and gloves which immediately shows they're off on holiday! At the airport they meet Huggy who tells them they'll be flying to Iceland! In Iceland Mecia states how "there's like snow everywhere!"...does she get less intelligent every episode!? The hotel is extremely glamorous and the girls tuck into a classy meal, well everyone minus Ashley who claims she only eats burgers and stuff that's not crunchy which causes Sophie to get a bit annoyed...again.

In the morning they meet with Andrea Brabin where they learn they'll be doing a commerical in Icelandic in which they have to eat a sheeps head and pretend they like it. Hayley goes first and delivers her lines well but she didn't come off natural. Viola runs out of the casting gagging after eating the sheeps head whereas Annaliese charms Andrea. Jade a vegetarian doesn't eat the meat which I completely back her up for, the other girls try to persuade her to eat the meat which I think is beyond evil, she's sticking up for what she believes in so leave her alone bitches! Ashley has her accent commented upon as Andrea believes it's too harsh and she runs off set looking like she's going to be sick, Sophie on the other hand is praised on her sex appeal without being slutty. She also eats some shark which is on offer and is then told that people pee on it due to the ammonia making it tastier. LOL! However, it's Sophie that wins the challenge and recieves one of the designer dresses they wore for the commercial.

After the break a Lisa Mail arrives telling them they'll be doing a photo shoot out in the cold which is called "The Nine Nordic Queens". Huggy tells them they'll each be portraying a different queen. Mecia is the queen of the moon and looks fabulous, her photo shoot goes well as she doesn't look cold and performs well. Sophie is the queen of dreams weaing a Louis Mariette crystal skull cap and like Mecia she gives a stellar performance. Annaliese "The Queen of Rock stone" is dressed in a jumpsuit and she does ok but sometimes comes across a bit strong. Daisy is the queen of the Iceland snow, once again she looks absolutely stunning and gives some really editorial poses. Madeleine is the lava queen (reference to her ginger hair maybe?) and Huggy comments she's nice and photogenic. Hayley portrays the queen of air and is wearing the headpiece I used as a picture in my Louis Mariette blog. She looks elegant, stunning and does well. Ashley similarly does very well but needs a little more confidence. Jade is up next and performs well but feels shivering from the cold may have let her down. Viola is wearing an extremely short dress and she does amazingly well. On their last night in Iceland Viola and Ashley get into a verbal fight of which Ashley's impression of her is amazingly hilarious! Trust me you have to see it to believe it.

It's time for judging and we can see that there's an empty chair on the judging panel! Daisy is up first and her picture is absolutely beautiful! Her body is perfected and she's told she has done the best on the photo shoot and as a prize she's told she's exempt from elimination this week and will be joining the judges on the judging panel! Mecia is compared to a glamazon on Mars and looks strong and gorgeous. Sophie's picture is ok but a bit unflattering. Apart from Annaliese's beyond disgusting outfit her picture isn't praised either, she looks lost in the light. Daisy loves Hayley;s picture and so do I, it's really glamorous and your eyes are drawn to Louis head piece. Maddy's picture is told her picture high lights her weakness which is her height. Jade makes her outfit look FIERCE! And her eyes just glisten. Ashley finally pulls off an editorial picture but Viola doesn't like her shot whereas Lisa loves it! After deliberation the call out order goes as follows:

1.Daisy

2.Jade

3.Mecia

4.Hayley

5.Ashley

6.Sophie

7.Viola

That means in the bottom two this week it's Madeleine and Annaliese. Maddy is told she's photogenic but she just can't pull off an editorial shot. Annaliese is told she's energetic but she also suffers from losing focus on set. The final girl called is Annaliese meaning Maddy is sent home in a teary goodbye. Next week the girls go to stunt school and take part in an extreme underwater photo shoot!

Britain's Next Top Model is back with a bang this week as the girls are immediately sent to a challenge for handbag.com where they'll be interviewing a celebrity. Who's that celebrity I hear you ask? The lovely Louise Redknapp, former singer and celebrity stylista! Sophie ruins the interview with inappropriate questions such as "what's the kinkiest outfit you've worn for your husband". Hayley makes her interview articulate and conversational which impresses Louise. Jade would be perfect if she had just a little more confidence. And Chloe (apart from wearing that hideously disgusting bin bag coat she keeps chucking on) ruins her interview by looking bored and asking questions that are completely irrelevant. She's upset when Louise comments on her performance by saying she didn't do well and replies "she was obviously in a mood". In the end it's Hayley's stellar performance and confidence that wins her the prize of her interview being on the handbag.com website (pretty bad prize if you ask me) but at least it's something.

After the break the girls are "cordially invited" to Louis studio where they're welcome by Louis holding a cat! They're told they'll be modelling his bespoke hats (YES!) to a crowd of London fashionista's or "Fashioneaters" as Mecia calls them. Some girls have simple bows where as others like Annaliese have actual Ram's heads adorned on their heads! Viola's entrance is hilarious as she can't walk down the stairs due to basically having an ice sculpture on her head. Chloe slips on a rose petal dropped by Louis (ironic)  and Madeleine's walk was horrendously robotic. Jade steps out of her comfort zone and becomes "hidden desire" and impresses the audience by being confident sexy and whitty! Mecia's english seems to be very lackluster this week as she calls the ballet a balet. In the end Louis says Jade is a lotus flower and has blossomed throughout this competition, therefore she is the winner! She wins a stunning Louis Mariette crystal headpiece which is a prize worth winning and she's more than happy.

Another Lisa mail arrives from none other than the glamorous Kylie Minogue! (Could they possibly fit in more celebs into this series?) They're told they'll be doing a photo shoot inspired by her new perfume "couture" it must be stylish, elegant and current. Sophie immediately states she'll have an upper hand as she knows what couture means, Chloe on the other hand tells us she's been to a Kylie concert so that'll be her advantage. Mecia is wearing a gorgeous canary yellow dress and she really works it! Sophie in contrast is dressed in a black funeral-esque outfit, Sophie ends up being flat and tense unfortunately. Kasey has the wind machine used on her paper mache inspired dress and does well. Madeleine is also dressed in a black outfit and she manages to smile with her eyes! (Tyra eat your heart out!). Chloe has a gorgeous futuristic silver dress on full with beads and frills but to me she just doesn't look like a model. Sophie has an avant garde little black dress on and she pulls some strong poses, she's even compared to the infamous Gerry Hall! Annaliese looks like a farmers wife but she performs quite well. Jade is given what looks to be a high fashion night gown and is even compared to a young Kate Moss! Viola is next and has a gorgeous dress full of bows, there are mixed opinions as some believe she look stiff and awkward where as Kylie's fragrance P.R loves her unique look. Ashley still isn't confident enough but the photographer is impressed with how she takes direction. Hayley isn't praised this week, she's called forgettable and weak. There were a lot of good shots this week so It' looks like it's going to be a hard judging!

As judging begins our guest judges this week are Johny Blue eyes and Giles Pearson who were stylists on the shoot this week. Before critiquing the pictures Kylie gives our girls a congratulatory message. Mecia's picture is very edgy and fierce but personally I don't like it, it looks a little too evil. Sophie is criticised on having a sneer and Kasey has an ok shot that simply isn't powerful enough! Madeleine owns the picture (and looks a lot like Drew Barrymore). Huggy says everything's wrong in Chloe's picture and she looks really nervous. Daisy pulls off yet another absolutely amazing shot and Annaliese also has a nice shot and is praised for her diva side. Jade's picture is gorgeous and Lisa calls her a chameleon which is a trait that pleases the judges. Viola's picture is very lackluster and way too pretty (she could be going down the Lauren route). Ashley has a great gothic look in her picture but I think her face looks the same in every shot! Finally, Hayley is commented on her look but Giles doesn't love the picture as it's not strong enough. After a quick deliberation the call out order is revealed:

1.Jade

2.Daisy

3.Annaliese

4.Mecia

5.Ashley

6.Madeleine

7.Hayley

8.Sophie

9.Viola

That means in the bottom two is Chloe and Kasey who have both been in this position before. Kasey is told she has tons of potential but she just can't pull off a perfect shot. Chloe on the other hand is told she's falling behind. In yet another pointless shocking twist both girls are eliminated which I don't agree with at all. Chloe has had an abundance of rubbish pictures and therefore should have been the only one eliminated. But whatever, it's Lisa's show!

Next week the girls are taken on a surprise trip to a secret destination and they're in for a chill as they have a photo shoot in the snow shot by Huggy!

It's 11th April! And that means Britain's Next Top Model is on Tonight features a radio interview and another edgy photo shoot!

To begin with the girls meet up with Jo Wood a former model and TV presenter and are told they'll be presenting a speech to 16 year olds. Annaliese starts by getting the teens up on their foot for a bit of aerobics (don't ask). Chloe decided she would talk about her hatred of cosmetic testing on animals...while wearing a leather jacket. Daisy goes into the issue of how she doesn't agree with size zero. Jade then talks about her battle with anorexia in a teary speech and Sophie explains she was once called the sloth from Ice Age (there is an uncanny resemblance). Surprisingly Daisy wins for her confidence, personally I thought she was really bad but whatever. The girl return to the house and are given a Lisa Mail hinting they'll be meeting with someone famous!

After the break they meet with Johnny Vaughan and are told they'll be split into groups and will have a LIVE interview. However, Lisa will be listening in the room next door...sneaky! Up first Lauren, Diasy and Sophie tell Johnny they wouldn't wear fur on the catwalk and that they dislike Chloe. Kasey says if she could text anyone it would be Angelina Jolie (?). Mecia and Madeleine have a bit of a spar when they both think they're the best in the competition, however Johnny comments Madeleine has no charisma. Chloe and Ashley laugh at Viola for not saying anything. Lisa comments on all of the girls' individual performances stating that Viola had nothing about her, however it was Annaliese who won for her bright personality that lit up the room. She chooses Ashley to share her prize and they're both given a personal stylist to buy them some gorgeous clothes!

Thd location for this weeks photo shoot is a studio and the girls are told they'll each be given a different charity to shoot a campaign for. Viola begins with a campaign for "QUIT" which is against smoking. She gets praise from the photographer for being natural, Sophie does a campaign for FRANK who are trying to stop drug abuse and is complimented on being edgy and versatile. Kasey is also doing an anti drug campaign, she starts off as being very stiff but does loosen up. Annaliese's brief is to pretend to be a puppet being controlled by a man. She works the shot and gets a lot of praise. Mecia is also for FRANK and has lots of energy but is a bit too crazy. Daisy and Jade are doing shots for PETA who are against animal experimentation. the fur trade and eating meat. They both do extremely well producing hard hitting shots. Ashley is doing a campaign for abusive relationship and produces real emotion which is praised by everyone. Hayley is doing a shoot to stop drink and has to pose with a male model, she's praised for being professional. Lauren is also doing an ad for PETA as a caged animal, she had to evoke sadness but didn't perform well. Chloe is (finally) told she's done well as she poses for an anti-drink ad. Madeleine is also posing for "QUIT" and is placed in a coffin, smoking, waiting to die. She produces a variety of good shots

It's time for panel and it's in full swing with their photographer Matthew Brindle. First up is Viola who is praised a lot for being edgy and glamorous. Sophie has a great shot that works with the campaign and the photographer loves her. Kasey  just looks happy not really anti-drugs, it's definitely not her best shoot. Mecia is commented on having too much energy but she still gives a strong message. Ashley breaks down in panel after her photo is revealed but her picture evokes so much emotion and she look stunning! Matthew loves Annaliese's body but her face looks a bit distorted. Daisy looks pretty and evokes a lot of emotion and Jade is commented for taking a pretty picture but still making it look powerful. Hayley 's picture is very ammature and Lauren doesn't look like a caged animal, she's still too pretty. Chloe's picture is loved by the judges as she's finally broken out of being too pretty and Madeleine's picture is horrifically amazing! However the photographer comments she was quite moody on set. After deliberation, the call out order goes as follows:

1.Sophie

2.Jade

3.Ashley

4.Daisy

5.Viola

6.Madeleine

7.Chloe

8.Hayley

9.Annaliese

10.Mecia

That means in the bottom two is Kasey and Lauren who have both been strong during the show. Kasey is told she can't handle the acting side of modelling and Lauren is told she's not versatile enough which means she's unfortunately sent home. Next week the girls interview Louise Redknapp and pop princess Kylie Minogue sets them a unique photo shoot!
