Jenah Saved As Top Model Eliminates Bianca

I guess there is such a thing as Top Model karma.

After talking crap about her fellow contestants all season long, and leading Jenah astray during a challenge, Bianca is, in the immortal words of Tyra Banks, "no longer in the running to become America's Next Top Model."

It wasn't Bianca's attitude that got her the boot, though -- in fact, her attitude is what almost kept her in the competition. The girl definitely has grown throughout the course of the show, and she genuinely seemed like she wants to be there, which is more than can be said for Jenah, who takes fierce pictures week after week but won't stop carping about being homesick. Unfortunately for her, though, she doesn't have that "innate" modeling ability that some of the other girls have (could she have been any stiffer during her photo shoot with Tyra), and as such was eliminated.

You can always tell when Tyra has taken a liking to a girl, because she'll give her a motivational speech as she's escorting her out the door. That Tyra -- so classy.

Whether you interpreted her comments throughout the season as cattiness or just plain honesty, Bianca certainly did not bite her tongue, and for that reason alone she was fun to have around. We'll miss ya next week, B.

As for the remaining contestants, Chantal, who I've hated for most of the season, finally impressed me last night, not only with her fierce photo shoot, but also with her positive attitude. Yes, her chipperness makes me want to punch her in the mouth a little bit, but you can't help admire how much she loves loves loves doing what she's doing. Did she mention she loves it?

Saleisha also stepped up her game, giving a spectacular photo shoot and proving, once again, that she is the one to beat in the competition. Don't you think Cover Girl would just die to have a model who doesn't sound like a deaf drag queen doing the commercials? (Yes, Jaslene, I'm talking to you!)

Next week -- the finale. Can't wait!!
