Seriously…
…they’re freaking everywhere.
Everywhere!
The episode begins with tears.
Seriously?
They’re freaking everywhere!
Everywhere!
If tears had legs, they’d be roaches. They have this episode infested. Anyway, Angela is crying because, I don’t know, she’s happy about being kept around or sad about coming close to be eliminated or…something.
Challenge time! The girls get a note telling them to pick out a bikini from a selection and then grease themselves up with Vaseline. You don’t have to tell this group twice!
You know how this show does: it gets right to the (soft) core.
The girls are corralled outside inside of a disgusting little pond.
And then, it gets more disgusting:
Today, the girls will emerge from a fetid pool of blood (hence the Vaseline) and give a final-girl speech about not losing her will to fight. No matter what that homicidal maniac takes from her, he can’t take away her dignity. Even if he removes her head.
Sarah does her normal husky yapping. She ends her rant by improvising, “Ass face!” Inappropriate as it sounds, any Waiting for Guffman reference is a welcome one.
Shawnee has instructed the girls to direct their imaginary anger at an actual source close to them, not just some loose idea of a maniac. Lindsay talks about the uniqueness of her situation, since she hates herself the most. Which: really? And she just says it in passing, like she’s talking about hangnails or Mondays. “I hate myself, meh.” It seriously warrants further discussion and we get nothing.
Angela flips because her emotional target is her absentee father. After the draining challenge, she drains some more:
She cries about putting her all into it, which is to say that she cries about crying.
Despite her impressive showing, it is actually Tanedra who wins, because, duh — it’s Tanedra.
And then she cries because, as she says, “I’m in the fight of my life here, Shawnee.” Yeah, and you’re like winning at every turn there, kid. Chin up.
We’ve come to the point in our reality show, in which there is no more guaranteed immunity. As a consolation prize, Tanedra gets to pick her scene partner for this week’s Director’s Challenge (the rest of the girls will be assigned and choiceless). Tanedra goes with Angela. This is smart, reasons Jessica, because…
We’ll see.
Homatime!
They’re in what Homa describes as, “what is left of a real working morgue.” Doublespeak much? Just the setting has the tears already flowing…
The girls will climb into a human drawer, marinate in their own claustrophobic fear and then recite a nursery rhyme upon exiting. Michelle is freaking out.
And things aren’t much better when she’s all the way in.
In fact, with the exception of Sarah…
…most of the girls are entirely freaked out.
This is definitely softcore torture porn.
The girls are paired up at home for the Director’s Challenge. Tanedra and Angela will be together. Then, there’s Jessica and Sarah. Then, Michelle and Lindsay. Practice makes…
…more tears! And so do the roaches:
Before they shoot their scenes, a handler has them place their hands in a tank of roaches. This is not nearly the hit with the girls that you’d expect.
Once they’re all good and squirmy, it’s time to shoot. The scene involves two friends who are camping in a tent. One thinks she hears something, the other tells her she’s crazy.
And then, the roaches pour in.
James Gunn directs all of them to take the roaches and throw them on their heads and faces.
It’s all extremely nauseating. These girls deserve an award for putting up with this crap. Or at least, some Pepto.
In the end, they’re all summoned.
Angela kicked ass with a jokey improv. She is the most improved. However, she is not the Leading Lady — that distinction goes to Tanedra because: duh. It’s Tanedra. She is celluloid magic even on TV. Michelle is inconsistent but when she’s good, she’s really good. Jessica is a wild card, but she threw roaches on herself well. That leaves Lindsay and Sarah in the Bottom 2. Sarah was way over-prepared and she also hit the same aggressive notes she always does. Lindsay was nervous and detached. She needs to get over it because she’s staying and Sarah’s going.
Sarah assures us she’s going to be a star. And then she cries, but it’s only a little. Throw some more tears on your face! Really get in there!

Loveeee this show. Sadly I think that Angela will win instead of Tanedra, just because reality tv tends to reward the most improved rather than the most consistently good.
I was sad to see Sarah go. Shes a good actress and I like her personality.
Angela looks like Destiney Moore.
Michelle is hot and marketable (as little as I know about show biz), but I’m hard pressed to find a performance other than her hilarious trailer bit (you know, the &^^$!+##`$_*_`@!@) bit?) where she was really good. Just wondering what others think.
Tobey – I don’t think Michelle would be convincing in a horror movie, when she acts scared a lot of times it seems very fake and sometimes even makes me laugh. I agree Michelle was funny in the trailer but she was kind of acting like her self! II am sure she flirts and jokes around a lot but horror is a different ball game. She acted scared in the Morgue but it is easy to be scared in a Morgue and not acting talent. Also think Michelle gets a lot more extra help and coaching than the other girls, she’s like the teachers pet. I’m thinking Michelle is going to win just because the judges seem more patient with her like they want her to win it and always give her so much feedback and help. I think she should have got the axe a long time ago.
Sarah was my fav :-(
The only reason that Michelle is still around is that James Gunn and Homa have crushes on her, plain and simple. Every sexualized comment they’ve made is toward her. Even the other actresses on the show have mentioned this in their blogs! Michelle has been kept as the antagonist, as well.
I think either Tanedra or Lindsay for the win. Tanedra’s consistently great with very little experience, and Lindsay has to work past her self-doubts and realize she is one of the best actresses there-and you know reality tv loves that ish. We shall see.
Michelle is very young and she really doesnt get it. SHe continuously speaks about how pretty she is and how the other girls dont have a chance next to her, but she has forgotten that this is acting. Not MODELING. (even though some models are not attractive) But acting is all about who the producer wants to have in his movie. Actors and actresses come in all shapes and sizes. Beautiful and the gory. All types of races, nationalities, religions and backgrounds. Once she relaizes this , it will open her eyes to such a beautiful career. She is stuck on looks, and in the wrong compitition for that. Otherwise she is going to fail miserably.
Tenedra is my favorite. I hope she wins.
Go Tanedra. You are my favorite.
i love your show i like it
that so eww.
Finally, that Sarah got the ax! She had no talent and a really weird look to her yet felt the need to criticize others. Good riddance, squinty!
i love the show screem queens
i love this show!
whatever
What a lovely day for a 2698788! SCK was here
