We enter the episode with scenes of a raging party inside the school. We see Nate and Blair making out only to have Blair leave because of good ol' Chuck watching in the background. He played horny lifeguard this evening which is a role that suits him perfectly. Blair confronts him however, saying that he has other people he can torture. Chuck responds saying he chooses her. Next, Serena enters the party without Dan. Chuck eyes her bathing suit and says he'll turn her one piece into a no piece. She tells him to go play with a floatie. Dan and Vanessa are back at his place. He is sitting down and she is filming his exciting Saturday night in. Serena calls. She invites him to a party at the school. He goes with Vanessa tagging along. They arrive and Serena greets Dan with a hug and a kiss..or xo in Gossip Girl world. Vanessa walks around shooting the party for her video which is to be entered in a contest. Then, some guys get in a fight and one pushes the other into a pole. He hits his head and falls into the pool. All of the party goers freak out. Some grab their stuff and leave. Nate dives into the pool and gets him out. Serena and Dan rush over, Serena is on the phone getting an ambulance. Chuck grabs a key that was on a table. It looks mysterious. The last scene of the pool is someone's phone...but no one is grabbing it.


Now everyone is back at school getting to know the new head mistress. She informs them that Andrew Collins aka: Victim is going to be okay and that they should all be thankful. Onto the good stuff. She says that they all have to write her an essay explaining why they broke into the school, were drinking, doing drugs...in essence, what the hell were they thinking? Then, she told them that she would interview everyone she saw on photos from the cell phone left behind. The person responsible is to be expelled. If nobody comes forward, they're all expelled. Outside the school, they all swear to not say a word. According to Blair, it's worked every time. Dan is worried, especially by the words every time. Serena tells him not to worry, because she got him into this mess and she's going to get him out.


Dan talks to his dad on the phone, and his dad says to protect himself. Then, Lily comes in the gallery to see Rufus. She says she wanted to tell him about the engagement before Dan or Serena did. He looks confused.


We now see all of the kids at Blair's place.."working on their papers." It is obvious they were there to party, with the exceptions of Dan and Vanessa. Dan was there to work, and Vanessa was there to shoot. Vanessa shows Dan a clip from the party. It was Chuck grabbing the key. Dan confronts him at the party at Blair's to tell him that it's not right to lie about it. Chuck says he's only protecting all of them. Blair and Nate are talking in her room. He gives her a love letter and leans in for a kiss, but is rejected. He is confused, but before he can react Blair is downstairs playing hostess. Nate finds the key in Blair's drawer. Chuck and Blair are talking. She says Nate will believe her side..being that Chuck is lying about the sex in the car. However, Vanessa caught the discussion on tape thus proving Chuck right.

Rufus goes to Lily's hotel room. He says he knows she didn't go to the gallery to tell him about the engagement. He thinks she wanted a reason to say no. He gives her one..or two: he said he loves her, and then kissed her. Lily and Bart are out on a lunch date when he gets a business call. Lily looks lonely sitting at the table alone. She calls Rufus saying that she agrees. Why not see if anything is there? He wants to go away with her for the weekend. They make a date of it.


The next day, Nate is at school to turn himself in. He gives the head mistress the key as evidence of his involvement. She doesn't buy it though because he can't describe the key chain it was on. (when he found it, the chain was gone) He gets suspended for lying. The rest of the kids freak out. Blair confronts Vanessa to try and get the tape back. She fails. Now, Chuck is able to pay her off with $10,000. The tape is his. Nate tells Blair that he confessed to protect her since he found it in her room. She says it's the most romantic thing anyone has done for her. He says that he loves her, but she says they can't be together. Dan and Serena are talking about it outside, and she confesses that she did it. It's now his turn to speak with the head mistress.

Vanessa gives Blair the real copy. She only gave Chuck a blank tape. Blair is shocked but thankful. Nate comes to see Blair and she says she loves him too.



Blair shows up at Vanessa's work to inform her that she's payed her rent for the year. Blair says she did it so she can go back to hating her. She asks Vanessa how she spent Chuck's money. She made a grant for research of herpes and young people, in his name of course.

Back at the Van der Woodsen residence, Lily is packing for her trip with Rufus. Serena is talking to her mom about wanting to get away. Rufus is calling. Serena gives her mom her phone, but is mad because she realizes her mom was going with him. She tells her mom that Dan is everything to her, and it feels like it could last forever for them. Serena even goes as far to say that she'd rather have Chuck as a stepbrother over Dan. She leaves telling her mom she has something to do at the school.

Dan tells the head mistress that he doesn't know the culprit. Then, she walked in. She tells the head mistress she did it. Serena is being read her transcript. It is bad to say the least. She pleads to the HM(head mistress) that she shouldn't only use that as a guide as a fit punishment since she's a changed person now. She ends up getting 25 hours of community service. Dan teases her because he thinks it's a slap on the wrist and she only got it due to her wealth.


Lily ended up accepting Bart's proposal. This meaning she turned down Rufus. She met him, but only to say that she's sorry. He understands, or at least says so. The Basses and Van der Woodsens are together for dinner, and it's easy to see that Serena won't be enjoying Chuck as a brother. He says he'd like to catch up on things they missed out on such as bathing together. She walks away. Bart then tells Serena that he payed the HM off and that he's sorry she got punished, but only minimal punishment. She is upset because she knows Dan is right. She goes to his house to see him. When she gets there, Rufus is packing up his music stuff. She asks if he's done with it. He said he just needs something (someone) else to write songs about. She goes into Dan's room, and they study together. The episode ends with them on his bed almost cuddling, but working.

Back at the house after a long day of being judged by people merely grasp on to what fleeting hold they still have on the modeling industry, some of the girls take a soak in the hot tub. Bianca, never one to shy away from stating her opinion or guaranteeing camera time, starts to talk about Heather…who is sitting right there in front of her. Bianca says Heather doesn’t have to work as hard as the rest of the girls. All she has to do is get some good eye makeup on, and bam, she’s got a good picture. In her private interview, Heather says she takes a better picture because she is an artist and thinks about what the finished product will look like. Back at the hot tub, Heather defends herself and other girls take up for her as well. Bianca later tells the camera that she is sick of everyone babying Heather and protecting her. Go ahead, Bianca, tell us how you really feel.

The next morning, the first Tyra Mail arrives, which says: “This is why I’m hot and this is why you’re not.” The girls don’t even bother to guess at what this deliberately vague communiqué means and just get on the eco-bus to wherever they have to go. It turns out that they end up at some kind dance studio, where they find a table full of beige unitards and ugly-ass beige dance shoes. I think these are cast-offs from one of those “body image” episodes of Tyra’s talk show, but I could be wrong. The Tyra Mail card on the table with the clothes merely instructs them to put on the outfits.

Dressed out like a bunch of pale mimes, the girls wait in the dance studio to see what fate will befall them. In comes Tyra Banks in a black unitard with a cute skirt and some leg warmers. Her hair is wavy and flowing and her face isn’t being eaten by her bangs, as Joel McHale says weekly on The Soup. She’s also sporting a dancing cane and seems quite out of breath for this entire visit. She bangs the cane on the floor and shouts, “Fame! Ain’t! Free!” She then says she’s there to teach them about being sexy and how to move for a television camera and in videos. She regales them with tales of videos she’s been in, which includes one for George Michael back in 1992…when these girls were in grade school.

Tyra has four lessons for the girls. The first is the sexy model runway walk, which entails stomping across the room with anger and a penetrating look. She demonstrates the walk once then makes the girls do it with her. Honestly, it looked like most of them hadn’t a clue what they were doing, but maybe they were just in shock at being in Tyra’s presence. The second lesson is how to look “sweet and coy.” She makes them stand in front of the long, mirrored wall and play-act the sweet-coy thing by rubbing their own shoulders and batting their eyelashes. Think cartoon flirty, and you’ve got it. The third lesson is the “wall slide” which is exactly what it sounds like. The girls each have to slide down with their backs against a wall and look sexy. The difference between “hootchie” and “sexy” is keeping one’s legs closed on the down-slide. Of course, the girls also have to be able to get back up, which Lisa couldn’t do because of weak leg muscles. Heather, on the other hand, slides up okay physically, but she turns her eyes up and, as Tyra says, looks possessed. The final lesson involves putting on knee pads, but keep your mind out of the gutter as they were merely learning to do the sexy crawl across the floor. Tyra isn’t happy with Chantal’s performance, saying that she wants to shake Chantal out of her malaise. Tyra thinks Bianca is holding back and is self-conscious. Heather does the crawl and takes direction well from Tyra, but to me she looks like one of those big walker things from the start of Empire Strikes Back. Bianca is none too pleased with all the love being showered on Heather, commenting that Heather can do no wrong for Tyra. Tyra comments that Heather has a Tim Burton-esque sensuality, which sounds okay on one hand and on the other sounds like she thinks Tim Burton himself is sensual and that just gives me the creeps.

Back at the house, the girls are all jabbering about their weight, one even gaining a *gasp* whole pound. This cues Sarah to worry again about her weight and size, as she feels too small for plus sized modeling and too large for fashion modeling. Later, Heather stares intently at the fresh Tyra Mail on the counter, as though she’s trying to teleport the document. She eventually shouts out that another message has arrived and the girls scramble in to see what the latest clue is. This time it says, “Musicians love models. Do you have what it takes to share the spotlight?” Then they all know it’s time for a video shoot!

Off they go in the eco-bus to a theater in LA. The assemble on stage and in the audience is Jessy Terreo, a video director, and his two assistants Lisa Arianna and Billy Parks. Jessy is shooting a video for an “international and domestic” star, but he won’t say who it is. All the girls will get to be in the video, but one will be featured more prominently. Jessy, the artist, and the record label will pick the girl after makeup is done and the artist gets to meet with the girls.


The models go to hair and makeup and are dressed in skimpy black pleather outfits. They wait in a trailer and Jessy comes back in with the artist, and it’s…Enrique Iglesias! *yawn* This guy is everywhere all of a sudden, and quite frankly, I had enough of him on “How I Met Your Mother” a few weeks back. He briefly chats with the girls and comments that they are all beautiful, but the choice comes down to personality. He goes away to consult with his posse and the girls sit around and wait on set.


Sarah is uncomfortable with the wardrobe being so skimpy and doesn’t feel it flatters her in any way. Chantal is convinced she will do well on the video shoot and should be the one chosen to be featured. Finally Jessy shows up and says the video is going to be for Enrique’s song “Tired of Being Sorry” and the video will have a vampire feel, I suppose because vampires are rarely sorry. Jessy is looking for a girl with a goth look, so they naturally chose Lisa who is about as goth as Martha Stewart. Jessy also has plans to feature Heather as well, because she has a gothy look about her, with all that long dark hair. Bianca is fairly outdone at this turn of events, which is a shock to absolutely no one.

The video shoot gets underway. From what we can gather from the shoot, the basic scenario is Enrique comes into a club populated by vampire-ish (because they’re all in black) models who are dancing to some music we don’t hear. They can’t be dancing to his song, because the tempo is all wrong for their movements. He’s supposed to be stalking through the club and all the women want him, but the main vampire girl (not an ANTM-er) is going to get him. It’s quite silly, actually, but most videos are.


The first scene shot involves Jenah and Heather at the front door of the club. Jenah just looks at Enrique, but Heather has to stop him and turn his face toward her. Chantal’s shot is next; she has to stand in the middle of the club and track his move across the floor. Jessy doesn’t think Chantal “owned it” at all. Ambreal has to slide down a pole, much like the slide down the wall thing Tyra taught them, so she’s pretty confident. Jessy thinks she did okay, but she looked a bit awkward and she kind of stuck her tongue out at one point. Lisa’s featured shot involves her stopping Enrique in the hall of the club by putting her leg across the path, up on the wall across from her. She does a great job of it and conveys some sensuality. The final shot the individual models have involves Bianca, Saleisha, and Sarah all together in a room as background for Enrique’s encounter with the main vampire girl. Sarah and Saleisha sit on a couch and try to look alluring while Saleisha is all come-hither with some chains.


The final scene of the night involves everyone in the club dancing with high energy. Jenah points out that this can be quite difficult after spending the day in five inch heels. Heather hasn’t eaten anything since breakfast, and it’s about eight p.m., so she starts feeling woozy. She crouches off to the side to try to regain her strength, but it’s not working. Some other girls see her in distress and try to help her. The on-scene medic arrives and decides to help her walk out of the hot set and get some fresh air. Heather, however, can’t make it; she stumbles several times before collapsing, and the medic ends up putting her in a chair and giving her oxygen. She’s paler than death and her skimpy costume is in danger of creating a wardrobe malfunction, but the concern is on reviving her. They give her a banana and some water and she perks back up. The medic admonishes her that she needs to eat during the course of the day. Saleisha explains the incident as Heather having been too excited at the shoot, but Bianca holds the opinion that a modeling life is just too much for Heather to handle and she’s destined for a nervous breakdown if she stays in the industry. Bianca is a tad bitchy, but if all those other skinny girls managed to eat something and Heather neglected it, maybe Bianca has the kernel of a point. With Heather revived, the girls head home at three a.m. and find the usual Tyra Mail warning everyone of the next day’s elimination.


The next day brings the judging panel; the girls gather before Tyra, Twiggy, Nigel, Miss J (in a huge Afro wig), and Jessy, the video director. Tyra runs through the prizes again, and she seems a bit more in control of her breathing than at the dance studio. The girls are going to be judged on their performance in the video, so they will see clips of the unedited footage. Lisa is up first and gets good reviews from everyone. Ambreal’s pole slide is called sexy and hot, but way too hootchie by Tyra, though Jessy thought she connected well with the camera. Nigel has an issue with the tongue thing and warns her to be aware of what she’s doing at all times. Saleisha and Sarah are called up together because they were in the same shot. Tyra loves Saleisha’s performance but Nigel thinks Sarah conveyed an awkwardness about her figure. Personally I didn’t see it and I think Nigel is an ass for continuing to insist that Sarah lost a lot of weight. Maybe she lost a few pounds, but taking her hair up from the length it was thinned out her face more than she could have in the two or three weeks they’ve been in the house.

Heather and Jenah are called up together as well, since they too shared a scene. The panel thought Jenah was too happy and sparkly to be a vampire but they loved Heather, as usual. Chantal gets the regular criticism that she’s holding back something and Bianca’s performance is labeled sexy by Jessy but jerky by Tyra, especially the kissy face she made repeatedly. The girls are then dismissed so the judges can deliberate.

Nigel says the camera loves Lisa, while Twiggy finds no magic with Ambreal’s shots. Miss J thinks Ambreal has star quality but maybe not model quality. Jessy says Jenah is not in control of her sexiness and comments she did better before the cameras were turned on. Tyra loves that Heather can be coached and get it right away, which Jessy echoes in saying that Heather seemed a bit off at the start but stepped up in performance. Oddly enough, the whole passing out/not eating thing is not mentioned at all by the panel. Twiggy thought Saleisha’s face looked beautiful and Tyra said she didn’t look as girl-next-door as she’d expected. Sarah gets no mercy from Nigel who says she hasn’t improved at all and still has issues with her not being plus sized and not being thin. Chantal disappointed Jessy and fell flat for Tyra. Finally, Bianca’s confidence and sexiness impressed only Jessy.



The girls are called back in and Tyra hands out photos from the shoot to Lisa, Heather, Saleisha, Bianca, Ambreal, and Jenah. Tyra comments to Jenah that she fell apart at being criticized by the panel, that’s why she was so low in the call-out order. Sarah and Chantal are called forward as the bottom two. Tyra say they are both very good models but not at the top (obviously). Sarah has been coasting, and though she’s very good at modeling, there is no easy place for her in the modeling industry. Chantal is also coasting and the panel thought her video performance was a waste of film. Tyra then allows Chantal to stay on. Chantal and Sarah hug, and Chantal tears up and looks ill. Sarah is far worse though, sobbing at her elimination. Tyra does her “there, there, dear” hug and Sarah goes to say a brief good-bye to the other girls. She manages a half laugh through her sobs, saying she’s such a dork for crying. She goes back to the house and packs, saying wistfully on her departure that maybe someday someone who looks like her can win this game show modeling competition.

Nathan & Haley's son

After writing his first novel, Lucas Scott can't seem to find a way to write the second one, much to his editor's dismay. His editor, Lindsey, who is also his girlfriend. Besides, Lucas and Skills were asked to coach the Ravens six months ago. And they accepted. Even though it has been a long time since the new team won.

It was April 12, Saturday, when the training had started. Nothing happened major in the first 6 days. We just studied and studied and took exams. Our first subject was all about Military Courtesy and Discipline which gave me a grade of 97. I'm so great, right? But the next subject is awful cause i got a low grade of 87. It is the Basic Leadership and Command. If you think this is a very bad grade then how about a grade of 71? I got it from the AFP Organization subject. Anyway, this first three subjects was taught by our very own Captain Nilo H. Dator. Our next subject, The Communication Training, was taught by Sir Francis Nombrefia(Mang Kiko). I got the grade 85 and i just thought "better than 71 right?". He taught us the phonetic alphabet of the military. My name is phonetically spelled as Initial - juliette- echo- foxstrut- foxstrut- romeo- echo- yankee - Initial- tango- Initial- victor- echo- november- zulo- uniform- echo- lima- alpha. Get it? LOL. The last two subjects were the Map Reading and Navigational Exercises and the Public Safety. The Map Reading was taught by 1st. Lt. Frederick Villa. I got 90 points for this subject and as for the Public Safety, I forgot my score but it was taught by Mr. Nombrefia.

The next i don't know, 5 days maybe, i'm really not sure cause i lost track of time. We got a day break and we are asked to come back at Sunday after lunch. I got there with so many stuffs packed. My baggages were so heavy that my hands are all full. The first activity was the Map Navigation. We got a compass and some given angles and distances to search for clues to finish the mission. Fortunately, i was able to find one. Before moving on to the next rounds we have to do some tasks first. This includes salutaions, squat rushes, pumpings, sit-ups and jumping jacks. Moving onwards sometimes we have to imagine a setting and we have to move in various ways like night movement, low crawl and such. The day ended so exhausting and we all have to cook our own dinners. I can hardly remember some of the activities and details but i can tell you that our first subjext was the Fire Prevention where some firemen taught us about fire prevention and safety. The last subject was the First Aid. I don't remember my grades but i do remember that I had a grade of 91 in the Comprehensive Test. It was like the over-all exam. And it was a normal grade but still i managed to have higher grades than Loren who was awfully comparing himself to me. He's just so annoying.

The Physical

There only 4 activities i considered as "physical" during the training. First stop is the Tree Planting. I considered it as physical because it is really exhausting because we have to walk, i don't know, like 1 or 2 kilometers and not to mention those blood-sucking things. Thank God! It didn't get into my skin. Next is the Resquing thing. Its where we travel in the river using this improvised raft to transfer everyone to another land. Its cool because of all the water stuff and us pulling the rope and some people falling off the raft. It was fun but not that crazy. I think what's crazy is the blood-sucking thing on my combat shoes. Before i knew it, it went through the part where it was fabric and it actually got a little bigger and it was so disgusting. I asked helped from Ebe to remove it and at first we had a hard time doing it because i think it really was been there for quite some time and i can feel its mouth being removed from my skin so i felt goosebumps all over. For like another 10 seconds, it was removed and i was so relieved. The next wasn't really an activity. It was more like a series of actions. The 10-15 seconds of changing your clothes, the punishments when you're not in time and the jogging of 3-4 rounds around the LHS and Library. It was pretty tiring. The most exciting activity was the rope course. I must admit i really did well because i didn't have to repeat but i can leave you with two words. It Burns!

Mr. Deeds

For all of you to know, i wanted to become the battalion commander. I know! Crazy, right? So in order to have their trusts or something i decided to play a very good role. The Helping Hand. I don't know but i really had been helpful those days. I help some of the girls chop firewood. Lift them up or helping them across something and of course i helped almost everyone with the Rope Course and the Resque Operation.

The Vote

This is like the most final part. You have to rate everyone except yourself and then you have to put you're to votes of Battalion Commander. I put myself and Ian. Then next you have to put your two dream positions. I put Battalion Commander and Headquarters Company Commander. Well, it's just a dream, right?

The Graduation, The Picnic and The Designation

Preparation

The days went by so quickly that i didn't notice it was already the Graduation day. I got all excited because the designation will be given there but during the program it was announced that the designation will be given in the picnic. So i have to wait longer for the picnic. In the day of the picnic we had Initiation, Baptismal and Designation. But before all of that we had a very busy preparation. Actually, it was assigned for the officers to do it but since they stopped by at our house, i decided to take some time off to help.

They morning of the picnic, we prepared the foods. After cooking and making all of them, Meng, Christine and Robin decided to eat at our place and we ate some of the food. Hehehe. Don't worry cause we took only a few. After eating, everyone went home and i started packing then out of the blue, Meng rushed into the house and said that we need to go to the school now. I found out that Sir Dator sent her a text message that says that we must get the extra utensils needed this morning. It was originally scheduled that afternoon but it was moved and we are in a hurry only to find out that Sir Dator already left. I was worried because i thought that he'll be pissed. We called him and he doesn't seem to be pissed or anything.

We arrived at the venue and we still don't have a cottage to put our bags down so we waited for like half an hour until the people in 'our' cottage' leave. After dropping our bags, we all agreed that its alright to start swimming and then the senior officers started arriving. They asked why are we already in the pool in a mean kind of way and we are all like fine whatever and we all left the pool and dried ourselves. While 'drying', the senior officers started to talk smack about us, i mean why are they so mean. Then Sir Dator arrived and the time passed by so quickly and we are still not allowed to swim.

Initiation

The night fell and it is Initiation time. First stop we have to do 10 pumpings... underwater! Loren was my partner since its alphabetically paired but still... he was just slow! then we are asked to turn under the water for like 2 times. Then we did 7 push-ups. Don't worry it didn't happen in the pool. Then we danced our dance number in the prom(Whine-up). We were supposed to dance the girls' number but we said that we didn't know the steps so we performed ours. then the next part is where we danced to a novelty song(Sayaw Darling) and played a game(Hep hep Hurray!) then we are asked to sing the song Harana by word while doing pumpings. I forgot the last station. Hehehe. The last stop was we have to eat sili. My plan is to not bite it but we had to. Its very hot and it's so obvious... and so am i. Hah! We spent the rest of our night with freedom to swim and a very uncomfortable sleep with a very cold air.

Designation

The designation was announced during the morning. I was the Class Marcher at that moment and Sir Dator called the two nominees for being Battalion Commander. It was Meng and Ofiana. It was such a slap in the face because i was in the middle of the two of them while Sir Dator was implying that the TWO of them are his choices and i was like "did he do this in purpose?" but anyways check out the designations here.

We all know that everyone loves spoilers. Especially, when the spoilers are actually spoiled at the very least moment. Spoilers, anyone?
