Case in point. The first Tyra Mail they get tells them in a round about way that they'll be having breakfast the next morning with the two Jays. The next morning alarm clocks are raging, because you know, people need to get up to make it to the breakfast. Monique's not having it though. She wants God to come down and touch her cheek to wake her up each morning. How dare these people set this thing called an alarm to wake themselves up. She tells them she needs her beauty sleep. That's true, she does. She should try and channel Rip Van Winkle though because that bitch is not cute. I'm sure the fact that she spits fire and eats little children has something to do with that as well.
The girls make it to breakfast and I guess they eat, we never really see them doing that. The Jays do tell them though that they should be channeling vulnerability and that these emotions will come through in their pictures. They also talk about the impending makeovers. This is always a fun episode because like Miss J points out, all the girls are so excited about them, and then someone ends up crying. Jaeda tells everyone at the table that her hair grows fast, and she wouldn't mind if they cut all her hair off. Silly girl, now they're going to do that. Jay doesn't seem impressed at all and a bit sceptical, as am I.
I was excepting the girls to go to the salon now, but they go back to the house. Did the Jays just tease us? Those bitches. When they get there Tyra's waiting on the other side of the door and won't let the girls in. Oh that Tyra. When she finally lets them in we see the house has been converted into a salon. I have no idea what the reasoning is behind this. I'm trying to think of this, production wise, and can't seem to think, logistically, how this can be any better then a real salon, especially with all the advertisement it would get.
Regardless, the girls looked excited and in my evil way I couldn't wait for the crying to start. This year, instead of only having Tyra's floral description of what would happen, we had wonderful drawings of each girl. Ah, that's why they didn't use a regular salon, they spent all their money on this crap. It was helpful though. With each girl Tyra unveiled her plan. Cue sinister music.
Most of the girls had decent styles. Melrose she made platinum blonde. Brooke she changed her from blonde to dark brown. Eugena she gave hair extensions to. Megan got shorter hair and blonde. Anchal got shorter and with layers and they did that threading technique to give her a freakin' forehead, thank goodness. Monique just got some layers or something, but it wasn't that much of a change, which of course she bitched about. Caridee, they gave her a weave too and Tyra wanted her to be less actressy. AJ, Tyra wanted to channel Linda Evangelista circa 1992. Megg they gave her longer hair with more frizz. I almost couldn't type that. More frizz?!? And the twins I was expecting something drastically different, to really make them stand out, but nope, they made Michelle a red head and Amanda a fire engine redhead. Oooohh. And then Jaeda, with all her talk, got what she asked for, a Halle Berry cut. Ha-ha!
Jaeda was not happy. With all of that talk she was still a bit upset she had to get her hair short. You know who else was upset? Melrose. Apparently making her look 10 years younger by giving her blonde hair was not something she wanted. This just confirmed to Jay that she's a drama Queen. You should have seen the Jays getting pissed at these whiny little bitches. The worst, of course, was Monique. Now remember, she's the one who got the least done to her hair. You know why this ho was crying? She was crying because she didn't want America to see her with the tracks not in her hair. For those of you not familiar with tracks, they're just the extensions put in women's hair that creates the weave. She ran to the bathroom crying and the Jays had to get that bitch out. I really don't like her.
After all the bitching and moaning we're finally to the challenge of the night. They go to another seedy looking hotel and Jay's there. He tells them some spiel about not wearing make up and needing to get ready fast, I'm not really sure what he was saying. I was just looking at AJ in the back who got her hair lightened and styled ala Linda Evangelista and how she screwed it up and just styled it how she normally styled it. Bitch. Don't these people get it. Anyway, the challenge started off on the bottom floor. The girls would have a certain amount of time to put on make up and head for the elevator. It would stop twice more, for clothes and then shoes and accessories and they would only have 30 seconds at each stop. Any girl not in the elevator when it closed on each floor would be DQ'd from the challenge.
