"The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" recaplet (Ep. 4.07): Boys in undies, girls in plus sizes

Previously on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, while Janice taught the girls how to strip down and seduce a man we were left wondering how long it would take for the boys to reclaim their throne as the most naked folks on reality television.  Well, the wait is over because last night on JDMA, those boys and their buns were high and tight thanks to a new job for the Agency.  All together now: "It's about damn time!" 

Now I don't want you to think that this week was all about boys in underwear, as a huge focus of JDMA this week was on plus size models.  We've heard the that stick figure Janice squawk about it before but when their newest client Seven 'til Midnight demands girls with curves, Janice's son Nathan steps in to fight for fuller figured girls.

J.P.'s not feeling his Doctor Dirty outfit

At the beginning of the casting, AfterElton.com fave J.P. Calderon pulls Janice aside to withdraw himself from the casting.  Dressed as a Dirty Doctor, he voices his opinions on how this will make him look in the eyes of the gay community.  J.P. feels that he is poking fun at his image and doing a diservice to anyone that looks up to him as a gay role model.  Instead of slapping him or firing him, Janice actually sympathizes with his position and supports the man.  It was like bizarro world in the JDMA house for a second.

After the client pickes newbies Xian and Selena to join veteran model and David Beckham look-alike Dominic for their photo shoot, the client explains how they are a company for every kind of person and inquires where Janice's plus-sized girls are.

Check out Janice's priceless plus-sized reaction

You'd think that they had just told Janice that they wanted an unborn fetus to wear a mink stole while rollerskating on the back of a hippo with the way she reacts.  Janice doe everything but slap the client across the face for suggesting she have fuller-figured girls on her roster.

Thank goodness Nathan is there to save the day!  Who knew he'd be the rational one in bunch?  Tasked with finding a crop of cake eaters with only a couple hours to spare, the boy is put to work in hopes of sealing the deal.  Well, he delivers!  In wald three buxom babes ready to change Janice's mind and make her a lot of money in the process.

Ivory, Amber and Alana bring the sass, the sex and the size that Seven til Midnight is looking for but the job goes to Ivory, Nathan's newest discovery.  At the shoot the next day, Ivory is the model that the client loves the most so when Janice walks onto set my heart sinks in fear of how she will act toward her newest star.  

A little costume play for Ivory and Dominic

Just as I feared, Janice acts like a 18 year old frat boy.  The second she sees Ivory in her sexy cop outfit she turns and starts telling Dom that she can't handle seeing the girl's fat behind.  She asks Nathan for a bag that she can throw up into.  It gets so bad at one point that Nathan actually has to push her (by the face) out of the room.  Now, look at Ivory in her sexy cop outfit, the girl is slammin' - at any size - and it's sickening that Janice can't recognize that and show some respect.  

More drama (and a ton more underwear shots!) after the break...

Ivory looks smokin' hot, right?

I felt dirty even watching this portion of the show. Janice was completely out of line, rude and inappropriate to not only the model but the client. She's a real piece of work... 

To add insult to anorexia she tells Xian that she considers her the most plus she'll let one of her models get and completely degrades the girl in front of the entire crew.  It's hideous.  I don't care how funny and wacky Janice can be, she's down right evil sometimes.

Back at the model house, J.P. talks with Xian and Crystal (the first JDMA model Janice badgered into losing weight  back in Season 1) about body image and the horrors of weight in the modeling world.  They try to rationalize Janice's comments and her original Supermodel mentality but will things change?  Doubtful.  Then Xian gets all sex kitten with everyone in the house and look, big girls can have fun too!

The next morning, designer Andrew Christian stops by to corral the guys for an underwear casting!  Can someone tell me what a flashback boxer with flashback butt lifting technology is?  Anyone?  Didn't think so. Apparently all we needed to know is that last season, Danny's butt shaving gave Andrew Christian his inspiration.  In his eyes, Danny has the perfect tight and uplifting butt and he wants everyone to at least appear as if they too have the perfect ass.

Flashback to Danny's inspirational butt shave

The support system is built right into the boxer so now every man on earth can have Danny's butt.  Hey, people have stuffed their shorts with worse things...

Let the casting pictures begin...

Bottoms up!

Take your pick boys

Danny and Maurice take their turn

Paul shows Janice his goods

In the end, Andrew Christian picks Dominic, Christian, Payton, Chandler and Paul Vandervort for callbacks.  After a little foreplay with Nadia, Christian and Dominic are chosen for the shoot. God bless these straight boys and their willingness to shove their asses in each others faces.

Christian tattoos Dominic - the hotness

Sure there are the obligatory "that was kind of gay", "I'm not gay... not that there's anything wrong with it" comments but if you mute the television, it's as gay as you want it to be!  

That's the end of the hotness and the beginning of the ugliness...

Later it is time for Chandler to solidify his position as the biggest jerk in the house.  For weeks now he's become increasingly ugly (on the inside) toward a number of the models and tonight is no exception.  The tirade startsby when he calls Polina a communist and being an ugly American.  Sorin calls him a racist so Chandler belittles him (off camera of course). 

When the three plus-sized models move into the house it gets even worse.  Even though the models take Paul's bedroom upon Nathan's request there is no reason for Chandler to start berating the girls.  He gives vocabulary lessons to Alana then rips Xian's head off for sticking up for the new girls before going back in for more.  I won't go into details but after the fat jokes start flying my girl Alana ends it by saying: "If you've got fat jokes coming, I've got a switch blade to cut your ass."  Atta girl!

Toward the end of the episode J.P. started showing signs of leaving the agency.  He realized that living in the house makes him feel old and that maybe it's time for him to move on.  What do you guys think about that?  He's the heart and soul of the show so that could be bothersome.  Would you guys still watch if J.P. bounces?  Let's talk...

Lastly, I found this picture online this weekend featuring some JDMA models in a Zoom teeth whitening ad.

I thought they were only bleaching their teeth - Hello!

I love Janice, but...

she was hideous this week. And not in a "oh look at Janice being deliciously evil" way, but in an "okay, Janice, STFU" way.

Can you handle THE 80'S ACCORDING TO SNICKS?

Butt Blurrrrrrr

You know i would KILL to get ahold of the UNCENSORED version of the show (at least the stillls) anythoughts if they exist?

And yes JANICE is EVIL but you know you love it. This is also why show only has a "modeling agency" once a year. Its not like its real or anything.

This used to be my Guilty Pleasure

...but not anymore. I have seen this attitude from Janice before when she was a judge on America's Next Top Model whenever she commented on a contestant named Tokkara. It's clear that her distaste for full figured women goes beyond "Tv Editing" or  "She's just being evil for the camera".

As an ameture fashion designer and someone who comes from a family full of full figured women and thick men, I found her attitude a complete turn off and subsequentally I won't be watching JDMA anymore. I can't support a show that seems to go out  of its way to disway young people who aren't a size 0 from trying to get a career in Modeling. There are plently of magazines that feature plus size clothing and I think it's time that there be models to match.

Now, I'm kind of sad to see that J.P. may be leaving the Agency, as he truely appears to have a kind heart. I think he would be a great asset to JDMA as a way to show how you can be pretty without being a total a**hole in the process. If he leaves, I'm sure he will be snatched up by a modeling agency that doesn't have so much chaos and drama.

Chandler is a complete douche and I'm waiting to read that he really has been cut by one of the full figured models. Maybe he'll get that just because you're pretty and on tv, being a complete a**hole will only get you hurt.

I also wanna see some butts!

I've always felt that it's such an ugly inconsistency when people (for example like Oprah) tell you to love every inch of your body and don't be afraid to show who you are, there we have it on TV that even a butt crack or cleavage is censored. How is that consistent? And the producers must be stupid to censor the good bits - do they think we really tune in to see these unskilled models model?

The D in JDMA isn't there for nothing but drama - of course JP would wanna leave... I guess the next bit is to arrange for Kehoe to come back!

I read Janice's book and

I read Janice's book and believe me, the reason she was so thin back in the 1970's was because she was shoving the coke up her snout so heavily she didn't eat from 1975 to 1983! I think anyone who literally can't close her eyes because her forehead is so tight shouldn't talk about anyone else. The client was happy, that's all that should matter.

More Martin Please!

This show is becoming hard to watch.  The two most well-adjusted models are the gay ones, JP and Martin, but they just never get any screen time.  Instead we get endless manufactured BS from the annoying straight guys (pretty much all of them).  The argument between Chandler and the plus size model was just tiresome.  I mean come on, he doesn't even know the girl. 

And Janice was so overbearing in this episode.  I can't imagine a designer who would want to put up with all her melodrama and dysfunction.  Her criticizing the models for being fat in the middle of a casting is so unprofessional it's laughable.  I know it's a reality show and all, but Janice's antics really strain credibility.

My only reason for watching the show is to catch some shots of the incredibly hot Martin.  He's the star in my book!

janice

...she's a nutcase. If you read her books, she spends half the time saying that we should all love our bodies and the other half making fun of fat people. I'm sure she's just narcissistic enough to be able to reconcile those two far apart positions in her mind.

 

(Not that I don't like her though...)

I'm always intrigued by

I'm always intrigued by Janice's clientele: last week's pocket sized flamboyant nutjob of a designer, this week's cheap-whore clothing line for the everyday woman...
