Don't you just love the international destination episodes of America's Next Top Model?  Other than the makeover episode early on, these are my favorite to watch.  Not only do we get to see a beautiful country, but the girls film their Cover Girls commercials.  At least one model is always guaranteed to be a trainwreck, especially when a foreign language is involved (though somehow, the cycle 8 girls screwed up in Australia, too).  My pre-episode prediction is that Whitney will go home tonight.  I'll be here for the entire hour, updating live.  Keep refreshing throughout the episode and post your comments, too!

Wow, Rome is beautiful!  I've never been abroad so I'm living vicariously through the show right now.

Anyone else sick of Lauren's bad attitude?  She's moping.  Waahhh, I'm in ITALY for America's Next Top Model.  Tough life.  HA!  Anya just fell out of the bus.  Amazing.

No one in the history of the world has uttered the words "plus size model" more than Whitney.  The house in Italy is amazing - it looks like a Real World house.  Is it me or does Kat never do interviews about her thoughts?

Fatima is sick.  The bad luck keeps following her.

Maybe I'm wrong about my prediction for tonight.  This whole episode seems to be set up so that Lauren is the one going home.

I'm drawing a blank.  What's the name of those scooter things that the girls are riding on during their tour?

The models are doing a challenge, trying to impress a big Italian designer.  Anya wins ANOTHER challenge.  She receives a dress from the designer.

Woah!  Saleisha's hair is CRAZY in the My Life As A Cover Girl commercial.

The girls are filming their commercials in Italian.  Yes!  Their director is giving them choreography, too.  Anya looks like her head is going to explode and Lauren looks nauseous.

Anya is terrible.  She's just saying syllables.  Kat did well but I agree with Jay that she was a little flat.  Dominique is making things up.  Lauren looks like the lead singer of Garbage (and sucks in the commercial).  Fatima is good but Whitney was not.  She gets so pissed whenever someone gives her constructive criticism.

In panel, the judges like what Fatima did.  Tyra was the only one who liked Whitney's video but that's because she's over the top herself.  They're a little tough on Anya and Dominique, feeling that they could've done better.  No one was as bad as Lauren.  She was terrible!  I can't even get over it.  Tyra is coming down on Kat, but she was great.  What is Tyra talking about?!

Time to send somebody home.  Tyra calls Fatima first.  No surprise.  Tyra was on board with her the whole time.  Kat.  Anya.  Dominique.  Whitney and Lauren are in the bottom.  Well, they were the two I thought were in trouble.  Whitney is fake and Lauren gave up.  Who's going home?  Lauren.  Like I said, the whole episode was set up for that to happen.  She was a great model.

She'll talk to BuddyTV tomorrow.  Don't miss it!
