Oh boy, Marisa Miller! Swimsuits! Can you contain your excitement?

I don't know about you, but I'm sort of a fan girl for Marisa Miller thanks to the heyday of Victoria's Secret, so I was psyched to see her fill in as guest judge on this week's America's Next Top Model. This episode was all about the water — cliff diving, scuba diving — and some of the girls freaked. Who was able to overcome her fear and move on, and who choked?

Oh boy. Where to begin with last night's episode? I appreciate Tyra's attempt to educate the girls on Hawaiian history, and huzzah for highlighting different cultural blends, but what a misguided idea for a photo shoot!

While it wasn't the most dramatic episode, this week's America's Next Top Model sure was beautifully picturesque. The models flew to the Hawaiian islands, tried out a little surfing, and then posed as a mix of different races. While Bella ranked the high fashion shoot as one of her 15 worst, I thought it was a nice hour of entertainment nonetheless.

It's no secret that America's Next Top Model is the show we hate to love and love to hate. As much as we get a kick out of the clever photo shoots — and there are many, don't get us wrong — we can't help but think that some are not so great. Whether the concept is just over-the-top cheesy or horrifyingly misguided, these 15 are the ones that make us cringe, cry, and cover our eyes.

Was it just me or was America's Next Top Model kind of a snooze this week? I miss the over-the-top fantasy glitz of the Cirque du Soleil or martial arts challenges. Not that the judges didn't give the models a tough task — each girl had to interview on camera for The Insider and script her own CoverGirl commercial.

My favorite Top Model (say that in autotune!) episodes are the ones that force the girls to shoot commercials. None will ever be as hilarious as Dominique's ("Brazilia!") or Jade's (fabulous!), but still, it's entertainment. Poor Laura stumbled over her lines due to her dyslexia, but wasn't it satisfying to see Erin's hubris blow up in her face?

Which is harder — handling a sword on a high wire, or driving in LA traffic? This week on America's Next Top Model, the girls attempted both. Call me a dork, but I sort of loved the martial arts challenge.

Ah, what a visual treat: good ol' noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker. Sad to say, seeing him smile with his eyes (I refuse to use Tyra's made-up word for that) was one of the high points of this so-so episode. With the exception of adorkable Laura and her embarrassing "hood-rat" accent, the models didn't do many thrilling things.

I've got to agree with Bella: it took surprise visits from Lil Mama, the Jabbawockeez, and Cirque du Soleil to do it, but this week's America's Next Top Model brought back some much-needed pizzazz to Cycle 13 — even if the models themselves were quasi-lackluster. (Come on, Kara! Bring the fierceness!) There was some drama with Ashley, the obligatory offbeat comments from Nicole, and by the end of the hour, I was fully rooting for small-town girl Laura, who's quickly proving to be a top competitor.
