Episode 12

I counted :
1 - Take it to the next level

--

I was bugged when they were in that Chinese 1,000 store mall...and it seemed they all went to the same store to buy their stuff, cause when I saw one girl paying, another girl was walking around behind her in the same store. There are 1,000 stores, can you try to spread out a little?

And also, everything about Bianca bugged me. Her horrible attidude, her horrible face, her horrible pictures. Maybe she learned alot while being on ANTM, but she didnt learn how to be a model, cause everyone of her photos were bad. Im so glad she didnt make it to the top three, but Im bothered she made it this far.

    >>Im so glad she didnt make it to the top three, but Im bothered she made it this far. <<

    Ditto! They love to keep the person who creates conflict almost to the end though so I can see why they did it. Plus, you have to admit that Bianca was able to be charming in person/on the set so people who worked with her liked her - how else would she be the face of the 2008 Olympics? If only she was that charming all the time.

    I'm sure Chantal is a nice person and all, but most of her photos fall flat to me. :P I hate to say it, but I think Jenah should win. As long as she works on her attitude she's got what it takes. Did you notice that she actually looked good in some of her interviews? It didn't look like make up from a specific photo shoot (it was clean, not too colorful and bright) and it made a world of difference. I have a friend who's very fair skinned and blond and she says she has to wear make up or she'll look washed out and her eyes and face will have noticeably red spots and I think that's the problem I've been having with Jenah. She looks great at photo shoots, but doesn't do a thing to her face off camera and it shows. She just needs some tips on what to do to keep it looking natural and even her skin tone (her eyes tend to get very red around them).

    I can't get over how awful Saleisha's haircut is and I'm very suspicious of her now that we know her past relationship with Tyra. It was interesting that Bianca noted at one point that she was suprised that Saleisha wasn't doing better because she had the most experience - so it seems that all the girls know that Saleisha's been modelling for a while. However, I agree with the panel that her photo was the best this week. I instantly looked at her as well. Not only did she have a great action/motion pose, but her face was also in the moment.

    All in all, I'm disappointed with this cycle. After watching Britain's next top model (thank you youtube!) it just pointed out to me how much of ANTM is big fat commercial for covergirl rather than working on shaping real models.

      Saleisha's hair is awful...and in the clips next week...they push the sides behind her ears....it looks like a total mullet....which makes me laugh.

      I have to agree too. Bianca shouldn't have made it that far. I don't remember much of the episode b'cuz I didn't even want to watch it. After seeing Australia's NTM, I'm just disappointed with the original show. The girls were actually trained to be models hard core (talk about honest critiques!) but Tyra isn't doin that at all on her own show. It even seems like the Jays don't care anymore either. Just curious though, why does Tyra need to be fed lines at judging? If she's really an "expert" in modeling, shouldn't it just come naturally? Twiggy and the guests speak their minds just fine. Kay, sorry for all the questions. ^___^

      Is Britain's NTM like Australia's? Where on youtube is it?

        Yes! Totally agree! And the lessen about fabric is amazing - I need to rewatch that episode. The same person who posted all the Australia NTM also posted the Britain's NTM, which is how I found it. I can't access youtube at work, otherwise I'd post the link. Totally worth watching. Almost every photo shoot was with amazing photographers and for real clients. The part that is most impressive to me is the photographers who took the photos choose the final photos (just like in the real world - *shock!*). It seems like there's less manipulation than when Tyra picks. And there's a lesson on naming the photographer who took your photo at the end, which has never been addressed on ANTM. They also ask about designers and what not - very important things in fashion that seem to fall to the wayside on ANTM.

          Thanks, I'll go look for the links. I liked that they quizzed the girls too b'cuz even I learned something! =;D Also, i'm glad you pointed out that the photographers aren't picking the photos, Tyra is. I hadn't really thought about it but that is wierd since they're sitting right next to her at panel. I wish someone would interview the guests on what its like to be there.

    I really need to understand why Jenah can't dry her hair properly? Chantal seems to do just fine with hers? I don't get it....

    i just hope they can do one shoot where they don't have to be culture vultures - I can't believe Miss Jay said that Beijing is a new outpost of american fashion! or something like that...

        i hadn't watched the cycle at all until last week.
        These have to be the doggiest contestants ever in the top 3, 4, whatever it is now.
        Horseteeth, acne explosions, hair like that hat on that kid on Fat Albert....
        For f**k sake, it's like Barbizon already. And I'm sure you all said already , but since I'm in New York, I see Tyra posters everywhere. She looks more and more unreal every year. Unreally bad. Those bangs, and false coloring, heesh.

          yeah, every time i stand on the platform for the train there she is --- leering & saying "fierce" words like conversationista ;)

          i swear if i ever saw her stomping on the street, i would trip her ass.

            I'd give her the full Nancy Kerrigan treatment, personally.
