There's been a lot of talk on BuddyTV this week about who will be going home on tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model.  Some think Chantal is going, some Lisa, and some Saleisha.  They seem to have gotten the most votes for model we think has overstayed her welcome with Tyra.  Tonight, the models will have to design their own dress and wear it, which should be quite interesting!  It's time for some live thoughts so keep refreshing throughout the hour and let us know what you're thinking!

Lisa worries about staying on top after being called first last week.  Heather struggles without Sarah, who she became very close to.  Bianca predicts that the competition is too much for Heather and she'll have a breakdown.  Hmmm...

The girls head to FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise) and meet up with Benny Ninja.  That guy is quite a character!  The director of Elite Model Management is there, too.  Stakes are high!  The girls will team up with a FIDM student to redesign a hideous powder blue dress.  It looks like some mother of the bride dress from 20 years ago! 

Bianca already isn't happy with her teammate, not listening to a word she says.  Jenah's designer wants to make her a ballerina but she wants to be a rock star.  When Bianca says she likes lots of color, Benny asks her if her style is a Crayola crayon throwing up.  Oh Benny, you're so witty!  The next day, the girls go to model their dresses and the editor of Seventeen is there, too!  The girls will also have to say something when they're on the runway about how the dresses inspire them.  Uh oh.

Bianca's chest doesn't fit in her dress but she works it anyway.  Heather gets stage fright and can barely form words!  I feel awkward just WATCHING it.  Ambreal's dress doesn't seem to fit her at all but she seems to like it.  Lisa bombs with her speech.  Alright, readers, you thought she was going to go home.  Not being able to be a spokesmodel might do her in!  Chantal has yet to impress me this season, and that's all I have to say about that.  Saleisha does a great job and ends up winning the challenge.  She gets to do a photo shoot, choosing Bianca and Lisa.  Big surprise.

At the house, Lisa and Saleisha storm the shower when it's Heather's turn.  Heather flips out and starts yelling at everyone.  The girls are being so mean to her!  She's at the end of her rope, for sure.

The girls get dropped off in the middle of the desert for their photo shoot.  They'll be doing a photo showing them literally lost in the middle of the desert, which will require them to not just pose, but act. 

Bianca seems to do well when it's her turn.  The look in Heather's eye seems absent and unfocused.  Jay calls her awkward and that probably doesn't help her mood.  Chantal looks like she belongs in a heavy metal video.  With a little help from Jay, Saleisha turns an average performance into a stronger one.  Ambreal can't stop posing and I think she'll be in the bottom two.  Jenah rules and is definitely my favorite to win this whole thing.  Lisa had the same problem Ambreal did.

Bianca just can't stop picking at Heather.  At the house, Bianca fakes interest in how her shoot went but uses it to come down on her and probably gloat that Heather wasn't on top.  The girls sit down Heather and gang up on her to tell her what her problem is.  It also seems like they've been laughing at her many times throughout the episode.

Tyra is so WEIRD!  A chinese lion comes into judging and she does a whole dog and pony show about the girls going to China.  The girls go crazy.  But wait!  While the room explodes into a party, doesn't somebody have to go home?  Yup and it's time to judge the photos.  Jenah's picture goes over well.  Twiggy likes Heather's but Tyra calls it her weakest shoot.   Looks like Chantal will be hanging around another week - the judges love her photo!  Bianca may have brought herself to the top of the pack with her photo.  I have to admit, it's good.

Time for Tyra to eliminate someone and keep them from traveling to China.  She calls Bianca first and her smile is huge at the sound of her name!  Jenah is called next followed by Saleisha, Chantal, and Heather.  That leaves Lisa and Ambreal in the bottom two.  I think Ambreal is going home and I'm right.  Lisa's name is called and Tyra eliminates Ambreal.  Time for China!
