Previously on Canada’s Next Top Model… Meaghan finally got rid of that heinous train track brace face, the girls learned to stand out in a crowd, and fresh out of the closet Rebeccah continued her mental breakdown right off the show. Only 5 wannabes remain. Who will get eliminated tonight?

Can this episode possibly top the amazingness that was last week? Will Jillian finally figure out that Wes is total shithead and that Kypton has a weird forehead? Shit. Sorry. Wrong show again.

After the obligatory nah na na na nah na and a little more nah na na na nah na, the episode starts with the girls getting back to the SoHo. Before they can even bitch that much, they get some Jay Mail telling them to meet up, way up, at the top of the CN Tower. Jay arrives with Rebecca! Pysch! It’s not Rebeccah, it’s Rebecca! Jay, you so smart. Rebecca was CNTM 2’s faboosh winner. She looks good, almost like a real fashion model. Imagine that. The brief montage of shots they showed was pretty fierce.

The reason they’re up in the tower is to let Jay make a big deal about the view. Why? Because it looks a lot like the view from his apartment… in NYC! Oh Jay. You’re so barfy sometimes.

Despite the cheese, the girls all scream they’re pretty little heads off. New York! Go-Sees! Fabulous Fashion! No Passport! Oh shit. Maryam still does not have her passport. She’s getting left behind AGAIN. Sit on it and rotate girl ‘cause you fucked!

The four girls get to New York and check out their swank pad. Jay Mail gives them 100 bucks each and an LG cell phone to start the Go-Sees. Cue the rain. Cue the cab race. Cue the stress! Nikita is the first to break. She’s wet, she can’t get a cab AND she’s dyslexic. Ugh.

OMG. A designer we ACTUALLY know! Richie Rich! Meghan did really well, Nikita continued her freak out. Richie Rich didn’t approve. At Liz and Stephanie, Linsay’s tattoo did not go over well. Most of the girls didn’t have enough edge for the New York taste. Meaghan and Linsay seemed to do the best though… that is until Meaghan left her portfolio behind! Oops. Nikita seemed to get the worst feedback… even though she has the most edge. I’m confused. Edge, not enough edge, Heather definitely is edgeless. Just what is edge? Is edge the new “it”, as in she has “it”?

After the Go-Sees are over, the girls meet with Elmer Olsen, from Elmer Olsen models. He gives the girls the results. Nikita is out right away for being dyslexic… I mean late. The winner is Meaghan with Linsay in a close second. Yay! Go Linsay!

After all that Go-See action, we finally get to the photo shoot. OMG! It’s Sutan! I love Sutan… make-up mega star from ANTM. Today’s photo shoot involves the girls doing two separate looks. Each look will be merged into one photo showing the two “characters” interacting. One is the glamour diva, the other is a nerdy crew member. The whole glamour diva thing came off too Trannylicious. NOT Sutan’s best work.

After the photoshoot, Jay gave the girls a VISA with 5 grand to go party it up and shop in NYC. They bought Maryam a “ I heart NY” T-Shirt. Fucking hilarious.

Speaking of little miss where’s my passport, Maryam planned her very own photo shoot back in Toronto. She called a friend with a camera, found a gecko (WTF!), and modeled all by her lonesome. L O FUCKING L.

Anyways, here is the rundown. To check out the CNTM Cycle 3 photo gallery, click here.

Nikita
Meh. It’s kinda blah. The nerdy look just looks lame. There’s nothing model there. The diva is just OK.

Linsay
Geek chic that works! Well said Jay. She’s modelling in both characters. I really love both looks. She really threw the judges for a loop with this one. The underdog bites back!

Meaghan
Very different look for Meaghan. Both characters are pretty good. It shows she can be versatile. Jeanne says she’s the new frontrunner.

Heather
The diva is working major broken down doll. I love it. The nerd is pretty plain. Not much going on and certainly nothing to write home about.

Maryam
She stepped forward at panel and rambled on about why she picked a gecko… something about the tail getting bit off and then growing back. Huh? Oh! Was that supposed to be a symbolic metaphor? CHEESE! At least she showed her determination to stay in by giving The judges an actual photo to look at. The actual photo is GORGEOUS. The eye makeup is spot on with the gecko crawling up her back. She looks ferocious. Damn girl.

For panel, the girls head back to Toronto. Can Maryam survive? Riley thinks she’s toast… deservedly so. I’m on the fence. I’m ready to lose Nikita. Richie Rich is the guest judge. He was really helpful. No lie or sarcasm! He put a fresh spin on all the girls and shook it up. He let them know what they were like in the Go-Sees.

For the first time, Linsay was called first and got the photo of the week. I totally agree. Meaghan was called second and Maryam squeaked into third based on her passion and overall portfolio. Controversial! That left Heather and Nikita in the bottom two. Wow… the original frontrunners. And then Heather the high talker is sent home! HOMG. I really thought it was Nikita’s time. Heather’s body of work has been better, but she definitely fizzled in New York. Oh well. I can’t win them all.

Go Team Linsay!
