Love muffins, did you catch tonight’s America’s Next Top Model? Here’s my little recap of the episode.

First stop on the ANTM train: Miss J’s Charm School. The girls change into preppy khaki pants, sweater sets and pearls. Miss J instructs the girls how to walk and critiques them in his hilarious, over-the-top, and playfully strict way. Bianca and Chantelle from Cycle 11 are brought back to help the girls with their walks and teach them about “model respect.”

During a game of truth of dare, Natalie reveals she thought Thalia had the worst picture at last week’s panel, causing the newly-blonde Thalia to have a bit of a breakdown, and call her sister for a breath of confidence.

The first challenge is walking for designer, Jill Stuart, wearing her spring runway collection. The catch is that the girls will be walking with a bunch of large, awkward shopping bags, putting to use the runway etiquette taught to them by Miss J at “school.” Miss J brings out Ann Shoket, editor in chief of Seventeen Magazine, to watch the show, adding some additional pressure to the young model hopefuls.

Cocky Natalie decides to add an unrehearsed spin into her runway walk, not pleasing Miss J. In the review, Natalie’s walk was praised, but the twirl was not. Adding to the already dismal Tahlia’s self-pity, her walk was described as weak. Challenger winner’s prize is some pieces of Stuart’s collection: Natalie.

Next up: the photo shoot with Jay Manuel and renowned photographer, Mike Rosenthal. The concept: the backdrop will be different famous sights around Manhattan (example: 5th Avenue, Times Square, etc.). The girls are put into pairs, and their shoots given themes. Aminat and Fo are Wall Street brokers, Kortnie and Nijah are an artist and a muse, Sandra and Celia are nannies, London and Allison are Upper East Side socialites, and Tahlia, Natalie and Teyona are tourists in Times Square.

Standout models were Aminat and Fo and Sandra and Celia. Totally redeeming herself from her mental crash earlier, Thalia also stood out with her vibrant smile (it seems the call with her sister totally restored her to her old, confident self).

At panel this week are Nigel Barker, Paulina Porizkova , Miss J, Tyra and Jill Stuart. They seemed to agree to love Aminat and Fo’s Wall Street savvy, loved the “editorial” feel of Sandra and Celia’s nannies (but didn’t think they conveyed “nanny”), and weren’t really feeling Natalie and Teyona as tourists (but loved Thalia’s energy). Although they photographed well, they weren’t impressed by Allison and London’s faux snobbiness.

The suspense mounts as it gets narrowed down to Allison and Nijah. The panel didn’t see anything special in Allison’s photo, and they long to see what they saw in her photo from the first week – sparkle and energy. Allison’s unique look ends up preserving her – Tyra’s golden advice to her is to find her “light” and not rely on her pretty, big eyes.
