This week in Britain’s Missing Top Model, the stakes were raised even higher. The remaining girls’ task was to feature in a full-blown catwalk show, alongside able-bodied models, and family and friends and judges. As their minder and all-round guru Jonathan said, there would be no hiding place. For Sophie, wheelchair-bound, the catwalk would represent her biggest challenge. For Jenny, who we’ve seen glimpses of, this was the episode where it all kicked off for her. After an horrific car accident five years ago, she now suffers from ataxia, which basically means her body won’t do what her brain tells it to. She’s been very unsteady on her feet up till now, and she really wasn’t looking forward to this challenge. Could she, and the rest of the five, pull it off?

This episode was all about Jenny, really. She has a big personality, and sometimes her personality is flaky and a bit all over the place. This isn’t a criticism, because Jenny’s condition makes her unsteady and say things that she doesn’t mean or not in the way she hoped it would. There were a few teary moments from Jenny last night because she wanted to win this competition so much, and she told the diary cam that she was tired of trotting out the same old sob story everyone asks her why she isn’t a model.

She had a nightmare while training for the challenge – she teetered badly in high heels and her catwalk walk wasn’t the best. Sophie was also concerned about the challenge, but when they tried on their dresses, she was worried she didn’t look as good as a person standing up. Her confidence was buoyed when the clothes designer said she looked beautiful.

English rose Jess wasn’t on form on the journey to the show. In fact, it looked as though she wouldn’t be able to take part. Hereditary nervous disorder and ME sufferer Jess was exhausted. She was flat out on a sofa mere hours before the show, fast asleep. Jonathan wasn’t impressed.

But a fashion show stops for no man or woman. Some of the able-bodied models thought that Jenny might have a problem with her personality. Yikes… the show hadn’t even started yet! Already Jenny was alienating people backstage. But Jess had woken up and was, just about, ready to go.

Jess and Kelly walked on first, all ok. Kelly had bags of attitude and looked great. Jenny was papping it and nervously figeting backstage. But her time had come, she was on… she was a little unsteady but got through it. Sohpie wheeled herself on and looked great. Kellie had a bit of nightmare backstage – they put her in the wrong dress and, while the girls all had a go, they just plain forgot about her. Cheers then.

Jenny was flipping out backstage too, convinced that she was having a nightmare.

At the end of the show, all the girls met their family and friends in the bar. A chat with Sophie’s mum was emotional – she explained that her daughter was crying the night before because for the first time she really felt disabled. Sophie, you looked great!

Jenny, on the other hand, didn’t play a blinder. Without any friends and family to celebrate with, she had a few drinks and came on to one of the judges. In fact, came on to Mark, perhaps the most opinionated one of the lot. Big mistake.

I’d kind of guessed who was for the chop this week, but nothing prepared me for the full-on elimination session. The judges were fairly merciless in their criticism of Kelly, Kellie and Jess, but then Jenny, in a break in filming, had little word with Jess – unbelievably she told her that she really shouldn’t be doing this and should get out now while she still could. I couldn’t believe it. Jess was in tears.

And then it all kicked off.

Mark, the judge who Jenny flirted with, said that she was unprofessional and should sort herself out. Then what she said to Jess all came out. And then Sophie waded in saying that Jess is exhausted all the time.

The judges were very weirded out. They argued. They were shocked at the girls’ emotional outbursts. You don’t get this on The Apprentice.

Kellie and Kelly went through first, and then Sophie went through. It was between Jess and Jenny, the two now at loggerheads. Despite some reservations from the panel, Jessica was chosen, and Jenny was not happy. Really not happy.

The judges explained that Jenny’s personality was the deciding factor, and her inability to get on with big groups of people wasn’t a good thing.

There was time for one final twist – judges Wayne (Hennessey) and Mark really fell out. Mark was pushing for Jenny to go, and Wayne wasn’t. When the panel voted her out, Wayne walked over to Jenny and whispered to her that fashion is a shit industry anyway, and that she was amazing and should get out there and use her personality and charisma to make people stop driving fast.

Phooh! The differences between judges and participants – mainly because of their arguing over what constitutes a disability and what doesn’t – makes this series interesting and little bit difficult to watch sometimes. By being onscreen so in-your-face viewers are almost forced to look at and even review their own views on disability. I guess that’s what BBC Three were aiming for.
