Is it just me or is this cycle of America’s Next Model the best one yet? And by “best,” clearly I mean “most unrealistic, annoying, and completely addictive.”

Last night’s episode, the second of the cycle, “keeps our Earth good,” (thanks, Mila) with a green-friendly van for the girls. It takes the girls to their new house, where half of the models manage to fit into one bathtub.

Tyra continues Awareness Crusade 2007 with the photoshoot, an anti-smoking campaign, where Mila laughs at chemo and everyone points out Heather’s awkwardness even though she’s really not acting in any abnormal way.

In fact, she’s made the first intelligent comment of the episode, when she says that the bitch-fighting between Bianca and Lisa is giving her a headache.

Next up is a shopping spree at…Old Navy. Um. Budget cuts, Tyra?

The pick on Heather-athon continues, with Jenah’s comment that Heather doesn’t know what’s trendy. I didn’t realize that a symptom of Asperger’s is bad fashion sense, but hey, what do I know? Oh, and Ebony forgets to put on pants.

Then the girls come home, where the girls continue bashing on Heather, except for Victoria, who, in her own snooty way, is growing on me. Sure she kind of feels like she’s better and smarter than the other girls, but, well, I’d probably feel the same way.

Mila was sent home, which became obvious when they had her talk about how excited she is to stay in the house and continue the competition. Why must you toy with my emotions so, ANTM?

Heather is called up to get her photo first, which…eh. Pity callout? It just seems like they’re having a ball in the editing room, showing us montages of Heather alone in various rooms with dramatic background music. I’d keep to myself too if I was in the house with the likes of Bianca and Ebony.

So far, I’m loving Lisa the stripper and Victoria the Yale snoot.

Who do you think is the frontrunner so far?

Next episode: My favorite episode of every cycle—makeovers! I’m predicting a freak-out from Bianca when she has to part with her weave, and am crossing my fingers that they don’t give Janet long extensions. Who will Tyra scold for crying over a new short ‘do?

Tune in next week for the new episode on Wednesday and my recap Thursday morning!
