Liveblogging Make Me a Supermodel (Episode 1.08): Will The Bromance Survive a Week In The Country

Last week while I was on vacation, Niki Taylor, Tyson Beckford and the other Judges decided to jeopardize the bromance between Ronnie Kroell and Prison Ben. Obviously I can't take a week off or all gay-straight loving hell breaks loose. I trust that you all voted to keep Ben around for yet another week (fingers crossed that you did the same for my boy Perry) and tonight we'll find out who goes on to become snow angels as the kids take to the slopes for a snowy shoot that tests their ability to capture speed and motion.

Take off your ski boots, grab some hot chocolate and snuggle up to the fire because Week 8 of Bravos' Make Me a Supermodel gets under way.

11:00PM EST: Will the Bottom 3 be what many feared this week, an all guys week? The Bottom 3 this week are: Frankie, Casey, and Prison Ben.

As always you can also vote at Bravotv.com. Here's the big question though: Can Prison Ben survive a week that featured not only poor performance but some homo-hateration? I don't think people will turn and send him home for one week of mistakes. Granted, they may be signs of a deeper personality flaw but I'm going to chalk it up to stress unless he exhibits that poor behavior again.

What do you all think? Is the relationship between Ronnie and Ben tarnished forever or can they weather this storm? Let's chat in the comments section below.

10:50PM EST: Shannon is still suffering from Cabin Fever and she's off to the hospital as the rest of the group meets Niki for their runway challenge.

CATWALK ASSIGNMENT: SPIN IT TO WIN IT - After strutting down the catwalk, they have to land on a spinning podium for 3 rotations while nailing a shot.

Practice is hysterical. Why not blindfold them, hand them a big stick and let them smack the nearest jackass (you choose).

Shannon's just won't die. But will she survive the runway show? Immediately after she's back to the hospital. Dedication.

Holly's the first one down the runway and she's looking flawless. Her dismount is a little shaky but I give her a 9.5. Frankie's next and while there's a little tension in his face he actually makes a graceful exit but that walk was dead. Perry is damn near perfect, as is Prison Ben. The rest are all over the place. Casey is shaky and sloppy; Ronnie looks so worried and about to cry but I guarantee the Judges will love him. Poor Cabin Fever, the girl can't win. While she is the one that impressed me most she's kind of a mess. If she hadn't stopped to get on the podium I think she would have scored a solid 8 though.

During deliberations Tyson asks Ben if he thinks he's sexy. Thank goodness they didn't ask Ronnie to comment, I'm over the judges winking at these two week after week. Ben takes the humble road and admits he doesn't think he's sexy. Boy's gotta get more confidence if he's going to continue.

I didn't even catch that Casey missed a turn, did you? He's Bottom 3 for sure.

Time to find out who's safe and who's in the Bottom 3. Perry is the first one safe. Holly is the winner this week. Ronnie's safe as well. That means once again Prison Ben is (possibly) in danger.

10:35PM EST: Leave it to Clay to make a winter weekend a nightmare. After telling everyone to drop their c*cks and grab their socks it's time for Perry and Shannon to pick teams. Each team will have to get wood...

*record scratch* Prison Ben just called Ronnie a girl! Oh hell to the no. Ronnie tried to make light and told Benny Boy he lost all respect for his part-time lover but I have a feeling that inside he's dying. Ouch, again he just took a stab at Casey, calling him a closet case.

Ben's lost his frakkin mind! Not only is being a pseudo homophobe, he just sabotaged Ronnie's team.

Ronnie calls a summit and lays it on the line that Ben was being uber-offensive. I'm glad Ronnie is sticking up for himself (and Casey) and sharing some of his personal struggles with growing up gay and how words hurt. Ben is trying to back pedal but a little piece of the bromance is dead. I don't think Ben meant harm or that he's homophobic but damn that was harsh. Unexpected twist much?

10:25PM EST: We're back and there's no sign of hot ass psycho Eli Roth so I think Shannon will survive. While each model shows their fear, you know deep down one or two are like "YES, one down!"

Ronnie and Perry are the first pair to shoot. It's Nanook of the North meets Abercrombie. Loving the tension between these two. Get a room and work it out already! Perry looks like Bambi on the ice pond and to top it all off he just ripped his crotch. This shoot is impossible. They'd be better off if a Bumbles was chasing them. The shot is great though because both models stand out.

Holly and Ben are next and everything your parents told you about standing on a sled is true. Come on Ben, give them something fierce to work with. Holly is perfection and I don't want to choke her because of that giggle.

Shannon's returned to shoot with Casey and Frankie. Because I wasn't here for last week's Frankie haircut I have to say that it's amazing. Completely transforms his whole head. As the shoot carries on, frost bite is like a nano-second from taking an appendage.

Now for the reveal of who's heading back to NYC: Frankie Not So Fawcett Any More. I guess that hair can only do so much.

I want to go out and play in the snow right now, don't you? Who wants to make a snowman? I need two carrots.

10:10PM EST: I love it when the show starts with Ronnie and Ben in their bedroom talking about kissing.

Ben, Perry and Jacki are off to see the Judges and find out who's going home. Tyson gets the honors this week as Niki is AWOL. Ben is the first one safe! As we expected, Jacki is out of here! I love how Perry was like "stay strong" as if he hasn't wanted her gone every week so far. The two faces of Perry return.

We're at the halfway point of the season and I really couldn't be happier with the show so far. It's far surpassed what I could have dreamed for it. I love that the ratio is 5 to 2 in favor of the guys. They have a great crop of men to choose from but watch out because Holly and Shannon really are the strongest women.

Prison Ben walks in first and Perry hides. The house can't stop guessing (or praying Perry doesn't walk through the door).

Shannon just announced that they'll all be going away, I can only hope these idiots don't think it's going to be some sort of vacation. At the ski resort Niki pulls up looking snazzy on a snowmobile. I'm having flashbacks to my youth in Upstate NY. Snow much?

PHOTO ASSIGNMENT: SLOW MOTION - It's easy, glide across the snow looking effortless and fabulous. The loser heads back home alone, the rest of the group get a mini-vaca afterall in a log cabin. Uh-oh, Shannon just doubled over... let's hope it's not Cabin Fever!

10:00PM EST: Holding breath for PB and Perry...

9:45PM EST: Prison Ben is safe, right? I have a feeling that Jacki is going home because I've seen a couple articles/interviews with her pop up on Google recently... that usually means someone went home. We'll find out in a couple minutes. See you at 10!

In the meantime let's stare at Ronnie's shirtless picture from last week. Hey it passes the time.
