Hey Gasmii!
Did you see ANTM last night? What the hell was that?
Tyra gives the girls an acting challenge because acting is so similar to modeling. She doesn’t teach the girls to act, just as she doesn’t teach them to model. In fact, her acting advice is for them to be as over the top as possible. In other words to be as bad of an actress as she is.
Whatchu talking about Luscious?
True to CariDee’s statement that the show doesn’t look out for the models (see her comments in the last recap!), Tyra nearly lets Victoria get assaulted by a homeless man on this episode.
Also, in the continued spirit of macabre, this week’s photo shoot has the girls posing as post apocalyptic zombies who apparently were in a hell of a wreck
Gross, ugly and nonsensical. That’s our whole new ANTM.
Stay tuned for the full recap coming soon.

Tyra is like the mean kid on an after-school special who pretends to befriend a new kid and tells them to do all kinds of inappropriate and humiliating things to punk them and will continue to do so until the kid wakes up and realizes they have been played and then she goes back to her real friends and they laugh and laugh at what a great joke that was.
I was so hoping that Victoria’s low score would send her home but sadly others had lower scores than she did. I also noted that Tyra mentioned in a very quick aside to her face that Victoria was an ‘independent film actress’ and now Victoria is trumpeting her very special look that comes from her ‘Jewish and Native American roots’. I wonder what Victoria will reveal about her ‘true’ self next week! Because I still call BS on her basic cover story.
The challenge had eff all to do with modeling of any kind and the shoot was nonsense with almost no instruction. Kristin’s a bitch but I couldn’t help support her position that the photog was useless although saying it to his face may not be smart.
I HATE BRYANBOY. He is sooo irritating the way he acts like he knows about fashion. “I have to push myself to take pictures every day”. Really, BB? Really?
Victoria’s “Native American/Jewish” shtick is getting old. She looks white to me.
Did I say the challenge had eff all to do with modeling? Yep. But I forgot to add that it had eff all to do with acting either. The only purpose I could see to it was as a publicity stunt on the Santa Monica Promenade to promote the new season of ANTM. That Tyra, always thinking!
Bryanboy is so useless. The new and improved obejctive scoring is so subjective it has practically no value whatsoever. They decide ahead of time what the scores are going to be and tally everything up and fiddle with it so they can determine who goes home then they come out and ‘announce’ the scores as though they just came up with them. Does anyone actually think that this is not how it’s done? That the ‘I give her a six’ score is actually spontaneous and not calculated to jibe with the challenge and social media scores to predetermine the ranking?
And the video casts have got to stop. The only people doing that are just trying to get air time. Why should they participate again? Oh right. Because YOU (Tyra looks at the camera) at home are VERY IMPORTANT to the competition. I guess she learned that in her Harvard extension course: the customer loves to hear their name spoken! So AUDIENCE! I am listening to YOU! God I loathe her.
And I cannot believe I watched another week. Someone help me please. I think I need an intervention.
This show was fustercluck before, but now its a full fledged clusterfuck of epic proportions. Who is this Bryanboy, and why is he so damn hard to understand? Who did the guy that replaced Jay as the artistic director fuck to get this gig, because someone got screwed in more ways than one. And where’s Nigel, because MrIthinkImaGreekGod really just shouldn’t talk. At all.
Tyra, I think all that pot ledaming, and smizing while booty tooching as you lord over your Modelland has fried your remaining functional brain cell. You’ll be forty next year and you’re worth 90 mil, so chillax chickie, you’re still relevant – Stop embarrassing everyone, including yourself.
I said before that a girl I know played basketball with Leila—well I just looked it up, and turns out Leila’s hometown is about 10 minutes away from my house. She’s also my favorite. Yay!
I don’t watch this hot mess anymore but I have to ask, WHAT exactly is the point of photo shoots like this?
If the point of the show is to produce models, shouldn’t the girls be taught how to, you know, MODEL clothes and such? That is what they’re going to get hired for. Designers hire models to make their clothes etc. look good.
Tyra is such a fucking idiot, I can’t stand her. She should just make a show about herself doing various poses and smizing and “acting”, because she clearly is desperate for attention. What a moron.
@andyourlittledogtoo – exactly! I totally agree about the producers fiddling with the online score to send home who they want. They also just show comments or videos to illustrate their point. They never announce how many votes were cast. The average score will usually always be between 4.5 and 6.5 so if they ever show a fan score of 9 I call bs.
I will give it to the show that the zombie make-up was pretty good while not being totally horror movie.
@georgiababe I came across this earlier today. ANTM really doesn’t teach their models squat. http://www.wetpaint.com/americas-next-top-model/articles/antm-winner-caridee-english-modeling-industry-doesnt-take-us-seriously
This show has definitely jumped the shark. It has gotten so gimmicky and non-nonsensical. The girls this season are totally getting screwed. Instead of an actual $100,000 contract with Cover Girl in which they would actually receive $100,000 they’re getting a “$100,00 cash prize” instead. Reality tv show cash prizes are taxed very heavily. I think around 60%. So whoever wins will only be getting around $40,000 after taxes. And they don’t even get the bragging rights of saying that they were a cover girl. I wonder if Cover Girl decided to drop ANTM.
I think Victoria may actually be half native american and half jewish which is why she keeps mentioning it. No one would keep mentioning things like that unless it was particularly close to them and something that they have to deal with. I think Victoria looks more native american than the actual native american girl from last cycle.
Wow. Didn’t realize cover girl dropped them. I always fast forward thru all that stuff. Guess they no longer wanted to be associated with the I dont even know what to call it that antm has become. Whoever wins should take their money and run as fast as they can back to college
I have to full agree with melli, this show has jumped the shark.
Thankfully Destiny is gone. Caught in a lie. How does a broke homeless chick afford Aveda and an apartment? Who paid for that tattoo on her leg as well? Priorities supposed homeless chick.
I don’t know about the apartment or the tatoo – people do get stuff in better times and then fall into the ebb part of their existance – the Aveda Institute thing did confuse me. That can’t be cheap. Who is paying for that? Destiny confused me. I liked her innately but again I thought she was kind of central casting. Like most of the girls this season, I felt like she was playing ‘broke homeless abused chick’. Man I would love to know the real story on this group.
and your little dog too, wow!!! Preach!!! I love how passionately you are hating this . . . hee . . . but, Victoria is at least being honest about her heritage . . . she doesn’t look exactly half Jewish, Half Native American to you?
All the things you say, I guess I’m just too jaded, coz of course they adjust the scores to their wishes, or course they cast for drama, and of course this has nothing to do with modeling . . . it’s a reality show.
Have to agree that the new Mr. Jay is fucking useless . . seriously lame . . . I hate him worse than BryanBoy, if it’s any indication.
I’m starting to think Tyra had to make changes as she was losing ratings, her night, her sponsors and possibly Nigel and co wanted out too . . . who knows, I still watch it . . .
I bet Covergirl was hella pissed to get stuck with Lisa from the all star cycle . . . talk about Fresh face in opposite world!!!
I know! Lisa looked like a forty-year old party girl with a manic disorder. Cover Girl must have been so thrilled.
Victoria may very well be half Native American/half Jewish (although I still give the side eye when the Native American is always ‘Cherokee’). But since I don’t believe anything she says she is I’ll reserve judgment on that as well. I think she’s playing a part and just throwing backstory in. Her ‘mother’ is probably her roommate answering the phone back in Studio City.
How in the hell did Kirsten get uppity with NMJ (stealing Juddfan as I can’t remember his name either) during the photo shoot and nothing was said in panel? That crap would have been brought up in ever other cycle but this one. It’s as if the three quit mid filming and this season is a last minute toss together.
I remember Laura from the last cycle saying Covergirl chose who they wanted to win from the beginning. If I were a makeup or fashion company, though, I wouldn’t want to be associated with this show. Mr. Jay and Nigel were dropped in the hope of boosting ratings, which I think is total crap because everyone loved them. And the replacements SUCK.
*tacks on to last comment* Maybe Covergirl dropped because with the fan vote (if it’s real) they couldn’t pick the winner ahead of time. Just a guess.
Well, I do know the all star cycle was won by Angelea. . . the fierce one they brought back the second time, then again for all stars . . . she leaked her win on the internet, and they reshot the ending with Lisa winning. Am I the only one who heard that? So, Cover girl was probably pissed they didn’t get their choice (why they didn’t want Allison, I’ll never know . . . )
I have to also guess that NMJ has been lucky to be on set during Katy Perry videos, and she and her stylists probably have more to do with the winning results than him.
And this reminded me, who thought the episode was designed to reduce Kristen’s social media score. Do you think it’s high coz she’s a bitch, or despite the fact that she’s a bitch?
I was so pissed off that Lisa won. I hate Lisa so much and she looks haggard and played out so the whole thing was completely bogus. And yeah, Angelea actually won, they just took it away from her due to the internet leak. That whole final panel was the video equivalent of ‘photoshopped in’.
Was it an internet leak or was she getting it on with someone production wise and ended up preggers that lost it for Angela?
I thought Angelea was disqualified because she was pregnant. At least that’s what she implied. I heard she got knocked up by some 50 year old guy from around where she lives who is already a dead beat dad to four other children. They were engaged while she was pregnant and then broke up before the baby was born. Apparently Angelea is still very bitter about the whole ANTM thing. Poor Angelea. Girl can never catch a break.
Tyra announced that she was firing the Jay’s and Nigel before last cycle ended, right around the middle. So I think cover girl told Tyra that they were dropping ANTM after the all star cycle. Maybe they were pissed about being stuck with Lisa, ha ha.
She got preggers and didn’t tell anyone til the very end when she kinda had to. Clients don’t like those kind of surprises – imagine that!
well, I guess I heard wrong . . . poor kid . . . I thought she really rose to the occasion, esp by the all stars.
And yes, I didn’t hate Lisa, but she was haggard and over 40 looking, and her shinny skin tight tacky pants were so unflattering.
I had forgotten about modeland . . .hee . . . or whatever it was called. Tyra really has been drinking the Kool-ade!
@juddfan I thought NMJ was Katy Perry’s stylist?
Yeah, the Angelea story I heard was about an Internet leaking
.but looks like more things were left leaking too! Color me surprised !
Guys, the shark was jumped years ago and, actually, it was a whale!
I WANT JAY BACK!
But Johnny might be the best out of all the new additions. That social media guy (whatever his name is) is seriously an annoying prick and Rob just seems like a male version of Tyra.
I can’t find that post with Caridee’s comments. Can anyone link me? Speaking of Caridee, I think Kristen would be perfect for her show Pretty Wicked!
@kron, her comments are copied in the comments on the last recap, and there’s a link to the original article as well.
@sagittariuskim, ok, whatever they call him, I still think he can’t be the “innovator” of the creativity. I think Katy would say, I want a bra with sparklers shooting out, etc. If he’s some amazing stylist, he is doing himself a big dis-service here . . . when poor Jessie is just sitting in the hole in the wall staring ahead, and you don’t even say, try a new expression, pretend you’re getting shot, pretend you’re surprised . . . she could at least be given a chance.
