High heels and floating runways

Miss Jay hosts the walking in heels challenge. He has the girls put on heels and walk a straight line like they've just been pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, so I'm guessing Megg should know the drill. A. J. wins the challenge and the prize of walking in a fashion show for Dennis Quaid's charity in Austin, Texas. Brooke gets excited because Austin is her home town and she hopes A.J. will choose her to come along. Perhaps Brooke should have busted out with one of her ill rhymes. A.J. chooses Megg and Caridee to go with her.  
  
Back at the house, Monique is sick as a dog. You can insert the bitch joke yourselves. Melrose believes it is her evil attitude catching up with her, which could be true, if this was the Bible. Monique eventually goes to the Emergency Room and learns she is dehydrated. That happens a lot on this show. I wonder why.  
  
The next day is photo shoot day. The shoot takes place at the end of a catwalk set-up on water in a pool. The girls must maneuver the floating catwalk then pose once they reach the end.  
  
During hair and make-up, Monique complains that she just doesn't feel right. Senor Jay sympathizes and says he can have a car take her home. I smell a rat. I smelled it instantly, as a matter of fact. Jay never lets anyone get off that easy, ever! I remember during the first season when a girl won a challenge to attend a high society party, but opted not to go so she could call her stupid boyfriend instead, Jay was like, "So what are you going to do if this gets you eliminated? Go home, and what, work at Burger King?" Priceless! Jay is always the one to remind girls that they are being judged on everything and can be sent home. So why was he so kind and understanding to the faux bed wetter? Why didn't he remind her of the fact that both Cycle 1 winner Adrienne and Cycle 6 winner Danielle, ripped IVs out of their bodies, fled the hospitals and still did the damn thing?! Why didn't he remind her that those two women also looked far worse than she currently does? Hmm.  
  
The runway show/photo shoot goes on and the girls do the best they can to maintain a fierce walk without falling into the pool. Well, most of them do. Eugenia is the only one to fall.  
  
Elimination night arrives. Tyra and the gang fail to give Monique the tongue lashing she deserves and my conspiracy theory thickens. They seem ultra understanding and kind. I don't like that.  
  
Tyra starts handing out pictures and we find Eugenia and Monique in the bottom two. Tyra tells Eugenia that she always looks vacant, which is very true. Tyra pretty much tells Monique the same thing before she eliminates her dehydrated skinny butt.  
  
To be honest with you guys, I think they planned on eliminating Monique from the beginning of this episode. I'm not saying they poisoned her food or anything, but they just made it really easy to get rid of her by not even encouraging her to try harder. She really didn't look that sick at all. Now, I love Senor Jay, and I've never really despised Tyra, but I will, however, forever look at them differently.
