Coming up in live blogging tonight – The Dapto Dogs moon Sydney!

Jonathon arrives and announces that Modeling is a Serious Business, giving the girls a frosty and scary stare. Then he says he is going away until their photo shoot, which scares the girls because they are not sure how they can manage without him. But it is ok, because some girl named Mink is going to manage them, and some dorky guy named Trevor is also there. Yes, we miss Jonathon’s fierce beauty already!

So they are going to be taught to catwalk, and Alex as usual thinks she is brilliant at it, but she actually is overacting. Mink and Trevor think that Leiden looks like she wants to hit them. They find Alamela hilarious and like a cabaret performance.

Mink does a walk and she is very good at it. Plus she was wearing a cute pink dress, which helps. Then they make the girls walk on sand. Then they make them walk in a trench coat and underwear. After some pretty pink trenchcoats, Mink and Trevor ream Alex saying she isn’t trying hard enough and Alex doesn’t like it.

Then it is Johdi Mail time. Tomorrow they have to dress like models. Okay then!

Demelza suddenly decides to bully Alamela and throws a water balloon at her in the kitchen, and then Demelza picks up a vase and pours water on her. Then more of the girls start picking on her because they aren’t getting a reaction. Note to self – these girls is nasty, and Karma is going to come back to them as a surprise. Perhaps I am psychic?

The girls meet Jodhi at Priscillas Model Management. The girls are being sent out on castings. They’re being sent to three places none of which I have ever heard of. The girls have to work out where they are going. I’ve driven in Sydney. Good luck with that!

Leiden tries to put clothes on while wearing high heels. lol. The other group of girls are late for their meeting with some grey haired fashion bloke named Nicola??, and he tells them off. Another group is seeing a long haired chick with gorgeous clothes who likes Alex’s look.

Leiden puts Nicola’s dress on backwards. Yeah, I don’t know how anyone could tell which way round it was supposed to go. Well, that was all very confusing.

Priscilla tells them off for being late, and Alyce wins the challenge. She picks Rebecca and Demelza – They get South Sea Pearls to the value of about $6,000 and then they get to pick three dresses from the designers, and then they get a photoshoot. The losers have to get on treadmills in high heels. Yeah that sounds like it meets with occupational health and safety requirements, NOT!

Uhoh – the photo shoot is in the girls backyard. I have a sneaking suspicion this is when the mooning is going to happen. So Alex, Rebecca and Leiden show not only the girls, but the photographer, the other photo shoot people, and possibly most of Sydney their butts in broad daylight.

Alamela finally reacts to their nastiness. The girls are pleased to have got a reaction from Alamela at last. I don’t think they will be so pleased when they get a reaction from the judges to their butt display.

Off to the photo shoot, and today it is for Alex Perry. Wow, Jonathon looks like he had his hair dyed brown. Alex tells them they have to fit into a standard size 8 to take photos for his “look book” and if they don’t, they get to take a seat and have a coffee because he doesn’t have anything else to fit them. Alex brings out his guarantee – a model who will get in the book if they don’t. And she’s really pretty. And fierce. And wearing something truly God Awful (ie fashionable). And they all seem a bit threatened by her.

Maybe it is just me, but the holeproof butts ad seems wildly appropriate for this particular episode. It shows a lot of butts!

Alex says Belinda was more painful than err, he has no words. He calls it dead in the water. Alyss was amazing and did extraordinary things to the clothes. Alex (the model, not the designer) has to deliver. They put her in a gorgeous dress. Alex Perry thinks she has catty little eye but they work. Leiden fits into a size 8 but she can’t really breathe. Alamela was actually a bit small for the clothes. They try another outfit. Well that is an excuse to eat some Lindt!

Rebecca needs a lot of direction and needed to be spoon fed. Demelza gets put into a gorgeous gold outfit. I have to say, Alex Perry makes some brilliant clothes. Alex keeps back Alexandra, Demelza and Alyce to take some extra shots.

Demelza was put in Alamela’s outfit and she rubs it in so Alamela tells Demelza she heard someone say Demelza needs to lose some weight. Demelza is quite a nasty beeyotch. They finally make Alamela snap, even though Alamela said earlier in the show that she doesn’t react and she doesn’t care. Demelza has apparently been bullied in the past, and now she’s taking an opportunity to bully a girl herself. And can I just say, I personally think Demelza has big bubble fish eyes that are fairly ugly, but her insides are MUCH more ugly than the outside, and she is putting that on display. A “pretty” girl can quickly morph into an ugly girl by being a nasty bully. So Demelza, when you Google yourself and read this, I hope you feel as ashamed as you *should* feel – that behaviour is very ugly.

Jungle Girl Rebecca (who also has displayed some pretty ugly behaviour this week) hopes Alamela is going home.

Ooh – that photographer *is* very cute.

Jodhi announces that they have heard about some nasty behaviour. Charlotte christens the girls the “Dapto” dogs because that is what they think of them. They really rip the models a new one. But I think they should have shown us more of it!

Alex Perry makes Demelza cry – there’s that karma. Alex says Jungle Girl Rebecca is a moose, and he wanted to get out an air rifle and shoot her. Whoa! Charlotte hopes her bag packing skills are better than her modeling skills. Here’s hoping she is the one they kick off because she really deserves it.

The last two are – Rebecca and Belinda. And they save Rebecca – sending Belinda home. Well, four weeks ago she had no idea how to walk in heels, so she’s come a long way.

Next Week, a giant hairy beaver. Sounds like fun!

I spotted in the previews that one of the girls goes from scary reddish brown to bottle blonde this week – so this should be an interesting show!

Someone arrives at the house with a box – when the girls open it, it is full of butterflies! Leiden decides to lick one of them – poor butterfly, who knows where that tongue has been?

The girls are sent to the Mahogany Salon. Jodhi is wearing some kind of garbage bag trenchcoat. Is that to protect her from the hair dye? Perhaps it is Kevlar in case one of the girls decides to shoot her.

Leiden – bottle blond. Caris = not much. Jamie gets hair extensions. Jungle Girl Rebecca gets Naomi Campbell – here’s hoping they’re not taking her somewhere on a plane, I guess.

Caris is doing a crying – Jonathon goes to talk to her – is something bothering you? Maybe there’s fumes from the hair dye. But Caris says it is because she is not used to living with so many people.

Leiden says she has bush pig eyebrows – well they’ll match her personality nicely, right?

EEK! Alamela has a short bob! Caris is still not happy but that color brings out her eyes. Alexandra thinks hers is a step back – she’s done Cleopatra before and it is so 1000BC.

Now the girls have new hair, they are going to be on a catwalk tomorrow. Alexandra has a long whinge and calls people pigs for doing it to her. Whoa, nice attitude! Then she gets on the phone and cries to hey boyfriend, who claims he knows better than the judges.

Next – the girls find their sea legs.

They are sent to the navy base and board the HMAS Melbourne. They will have an audience of 100 sailors. The girls are done up as 50′s bombshell models. Alex has another whinge, this time to Jonathon. He says he will give her something to cry about later. Hmm, that sounds ominous. lol.

Sailors have nice shoes – they look like white Doc Martens. Normally I would say no to white shoes but these look cute. Jordan, Steph and Jodhi are in the audiene. Poor Bec can’t see – her contact lenses have not arrived.

One of the 16 year olds – Demelza – decides to flash her undies at the sailors. A breast almost falls out. Leiden admits that she’s seen everyone’s breasts in the house. The audience’s hands must be hurting as in every shot they are all clapping. Ouch!

Demelza is the sailors choice. Jonathon says she went from fashion to smut. Alexandra is the fashion choice. They get $11,000 to spend but it is from the hottest designers so that money won’t go far. The losers have to clean the house. Leiden says she’s not going to do it.

The girls go off on their shopping spree. Wow, three pairs of jeans for a few grand. They don’t seem to have a lot to show for their 11 grand.

How unfortunate that Alex won because I was looking forward to Jonathon making her cry. He’s extremely good at it, we’ve seen it before.

Now the girls are off to a fashion shoot. OH NO – it is the God of makeup with killer eyebrows, Napoleon Perdis. Is it just me, or is Napoleon gay? I don’t know for sure or anything.

Caris delivers. Kristy isn’t symmetrical and not the face of Napoleon Perdis. Alex is a bit like Nicole Kidman (without the talent, or the height, or the red hair, or Tom Cruise as an ex husband, or the bank account). Rebecca was amazing and done very quick. Alamela is very cold and shaking. He bores Napoleon – he says it is like she drowned. Well water can be dangerous that way.

Leiden is scary, according to Jonathon. I agree! Why do all the girls have really ugly blue fingernails? Napoleon gives Alamela another chance. Jonathon thinks she should be eliminated because she sucks, a lot.

This shoot is a good example of why modelling is difficult – you try opening your eyes and posing sexily while water is sprayed into your face? The girls go out to a yacht club to get smashed and pick up men while the under age girls create them a party at home. Leiden decides she would rather pick up her fellow models. Alex finds a feral to kiss. Eew.

Rebecca gives Leiden a lap dance. The girls stay a lot longer than they were supposed to and Alex is caught with her feral outside. Leiden destroys her own birthday cake. Then its time for a food fight! Demelza is upset because she slaved over that cake.

Alex rings her boyfriend to tell him she kissed a feral and asks if he still wants her. Well if I were him I’d be like no way, I’m kicking you to the kerb, you hoity toity feral kissing ho!

Elimination time! The heel clunking pack reaches the judges. Now Jodhi appears to be wearing some kind of bullet belt – or a belt that looks like it was made to hold bullets. Is she cold, or something? Where’s her cleavage?

Charlotte, Alex, and Napoleon and the photographer from this week’s shoot are the judges. Ouch – Belinda’s pic is evil. Leiden doesn’t want to be here and she cries. Judging time. They’re talking so fast I can’t type it all. Alex Perry thinks Leiden looks like Frankenstein.

Safe are – Rebecca – Alexandra – Emma – Samantha – Caris – Jamie – Alyss – Leiden – Alamela – Demelza – Kristy and Belinda are the final two.

And it’s goodbye to… … Kristy. She thanks them for the opportunity, and leaves.

Next week – crocs, snakes, clowns, bootcamp, and a scary shoot.

And my final note – I can’t STAND Alexandra. She is pure evil!

At 7:30pm tonight – makeover madness! And I will be blogging all the tears and tantrums live here at Aussie Bloggers.

Oh dear. Less than 4 minutes into the show, we have found out who the feral is – Leiden does a somewhat scary burp! And we’ve also found out that Australian parents are naming their children some weirdo names these days.

Oh, so for fun we’re going to ask the girls some questions to get to know them, and then put them in bikinis to walk. Two at a time.

Jonathon makes it clear that if you don’t have a flesh colored G-string, don’t turn up on his set – it is the ticket to ride!

Alamela and Kamila have their turn. Whee, Alamela is going to be the mega beeyotch!

The gigglers. I missed their names but wow, what gorgeous hair, those long black curls.

Caris and Demelza – jelly botty! Alex says there’s nothing wrong with that but you have to fit the clothes.

Belinda – Alex says she’s fruity hehe.

Emma doesn’t think she is beautiful but she clearly is – she is the one I most remember from the ad because she was so graceful.

Alexandra gets tired when she reads books, so she’d fallen asleep by the time she was called. She’s a fashionista. But she can’t walk and she thinks she’s better than she is.

Samantha is the exotic looking one, very pretty.

Jonathon is looking pretty as always.

Next they’re going to film the ad we’ve been watching, which should be fun to watch. Though not as fun as last year’s ad where they had the models beating each other up.

And now for the millions of ads.

Welcome to the Top Model house, which is as always luxurious. And they get presents. Then they have to make rules for everyone to follow, which brings out the nasty in Alamela.

Oh look, a pop up television! And Jodhi appears on it telling them their first challenge is tomorrow.

Having seen the ad so many times I have to give amazing credit to the hair and make up people because almost all the girls don’t look anything like they do in the ad.

Jungle girl Rebecca has to hold a snake and it freaks her out quite a bit. The snake weighs 19KG and is 9 foot long! Whoa. Emma has some trouble not looking like a potato when they drop her. Belinda is on a harness snowboarding and she does a great job. Alamela is the ninja schoolgirl but she can’t scream and proves she isn’t as good as she thinks she is.

Belinda takes a tumble when running across some material. Alyss has to do her part in one take and she nails it.

At the end of it all they find out that the winner of the challenge means exemption from elimination. Alyss wins!

Oh btw I might be spelling some of these names wrong because they put crazy letters and silent letters and all kinds of shizzle in their names these days. Ad time!

Now they get to take a group shot for the Vogue website. Tan lines are bad and tanning is not healthy. Then there are a lot of bruises and band aids. That segment was fairly boring, I nearly went to sleep. Ads again!

Unfortunately I’ve had some technical issues here, so I missed quite a bit of goings on, sorry! Grr that’s really thrown me for a loop there. Darned WordPress did the blank link box and then wouldn’t let me close it.

The girls are all asked to name the three people they think can be the next top model. Not surprisingly only one of them doesn’t say “Me” or “Myself” – that was Belinda. The judges have a chat and they don’t seem to agree, so who knows who is going home? Now ads for like 3 hours.

Alyss is safe – so is – Demelza – Alamela – Carys – Leiden – Belinda – Alex(andra?) Kristy – Jamie – Rebecca – Samantha – Emma and Kamila are the last two.. who will go home?

Wow, how tall is Emma, she’s towering over the other girl. And it’s goodbye to Kamila. Her journey is over, and what a short one it was! Only one photo to look at. But at least she got all those cool presents.

Next week – Hello Sailor! And it looks like makeover week, will there be tears? I’m thinking yes. And Jordan – my favourite from last year – makes a guest appearance.

The promo video for cycle 4 of Australia’s Next Top Model is now being shown on Foxtel and Austar. Here is the extended clip – there are also shorter versions.
