http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/11/AMERICAS-NEXT-TOP-MODEL----Makeover-Extreme.aspx Hallelujah and praise the lord! The makeover episode of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL is upon us! I don’t know why the girls insist on screaming like banshees when they find out it’s makeover time. They must watch the show, and thus, must know that the makeovers are not all about fun and games. At first it seems that the girls have uniformly learned the lessons of seasons past; that there’s no use crying over sheared hair. Not everyone is totally thrilled with her look, but each of them seems willing to see the bright side. They know the drill. Whiney girls go home. Then Jay Manuel takes a close look at Bianca’s hair; prior to her arrival at the show it had been weaved, relaxed, permed and dyed. She’s about to get it dyed honey blonde like Beyonce. Alas Jay declares it too damaged for any sort of treatment but one; the dreaded electric razor is brought out. Thankfully Miss J. is standing by to offer tissues and some gentle ribbing. Suddenly the waterworks are in full effect. Luckily for Bianca, her bald head is a vast improvement. I never thought she was that pretty before, but now she looks absolutely gorgeous. The other big squirm-inducing makeover moment happens when the hairdresser begins separating foolish Ebony from her wig. It was as horrifying as anything in any of the SAW films. The fake hair is torn away, taking with it real hair and some skin. What was left of Ebony was a scary shell of a human, whose new weave isn’t much of an improvement. The judges don’t get to spend as much time with the girls as we viewers do. Thus they don’t know them as well. So tonight they spend panel taking Ebony down for having a bad attitude. What they don’t realize is that she is not rolling her eyes at them; she is just very not smart to say the least. How can anyone who has actually glued a wig to her head with rubber cement have the wit to roll their eyes at Tyra? en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/11/AMERICAS-NEXT-TOP-MODEL----Makeover-Extreme.aspx 77 60
