As if that wasn't bad enough, the evening's final test was a Cover Girl commercial shoot. Given Nicole's confession that she generally feels "dorky and awkward," she should have been doomed. But somehow, she came across as smooth and controlled, placing second in evaluations co-judged by Westword attention-whore standout Kim Kardashian -- and she should have won, given how often first-placer Jennifer bobbled her head back and forth. Bonus: While bland Rae eventually got the boot, Erin received karmic payback, blubbering through the commercial and suffering more eye leakage when standing in Tyra Banks' withering gaze on the way to the bottom two.
And the Nicole crazy train rolls on.
