2. Jeremy's Sexual Awakening
Something tells me Jeremy's mama is going to regret ever encouraging her kid to audition for ANTM. Mrs. Rohmer has spent a long time cultivating her son into a Jesus-loving/sex-fearing virgin, and all of that brainwashing is lost after being exposed to the hyper-sexualized world of modeling. Jeremy goes to Bali a boy and comes back a… well, I guess he's still got that boyish ("but too special for commercial modeling" pretends Tyra) face, but something tells me he's going to be one of those "it only counts as sex if it's in a vagina" Christians going forward.
How can we tell?
- Dude is a voyer! Once again, he's stealing peeks as Marvin and Renee get frisky beside him in bed. (Okay, I'm pretty sure this footage was just recycled from last week, but the way he giggles with delight at the sight proves he's still a Peeping Tom.) He's just a little too eager in calling for Marnee to kiss on the elephants to not be getting his rocks off, as well.
- When you don't teach a young guy the birds and the bees, you can't be surprised if he jumps all the way to leopards. I found it weird that the judges didn't point out that Jeremy was humping the animal in last week's shoot, but apparently they saw it too and those comments were edited out. Thankfully, Jourdan starts in on Jeremy for looking like he "mated" with the leopard… she would know since she is practically a fornication expert after her months-long marriage. Cory also joins in on the bestiality teasing, but Renee steals the quote of the night: "At least you're not a virgin in photos."
- Tyra teaches Jeremy how to choke himself, calling it "beautiful". If he dies of autoerotic asphyxiation one day, that one's on Tyra's conscience.
- Jeremy and Chris have a seemingly petty argument until you realize that they're arguing about which one has to get behind the other. Neither wants to top, apparently, which leads to another fight about the sleeping arrangements where neither of them are happy to be sleeping alone. The good news is they seem to make up at that last minute with a super awkward hand/shoulder hold: Like most experimenting boys, they've convinced themselves it's not gay if they put a girl in the middle.
- As seen at the top of this post, Marvin straight up goes to second base on Jeremy. There's no turning back now... those nipples will never be soft again.
Tyra seems convinced that Jeremy is destined for more than muscle mag photos. If by that she means "soft core porn", then yeah, I think he's right on track.
