Last week on America's Next Top Model, Allison's "tude" was her demise, so you'd think with one controversial girl out of the loft, there'd be more love and less hate this time around. Not the case on Wednesday's episode, as yet another shouting match broke out in the house, this time about nakedness in the shower. That's a slight improvement over last week's fight over butt size, I have to say.
This was also the week Ms. J. got down to business with the walking. Every year I think, "Huh, they need this much help walking?" and each year a bunch of models prove that yes, yes they do. I admit, it does not look easy to find that balance between strutting and skipping (ahem, Amis). Then again, the models seemed to have an easier time walking than, you know, dressing themselves.
But all of that was fun and games compared to the nastiness that was their photo shoot challenge. The models were shot in a meat hanger, each girl wrapped in sides of beef and, in some cases, even wearing — as Whitney put it — "meat panties." It looked really gross and also gave way to way too many meat puns and references. Tyra: "In this industry they treat models like a side of beef!" Yuk, yuk.
You can see more photos from the show and photo shoot here. Be sure to take Bella's beauty quiz and my exam to find out what had Marvita "juiced" and who got butchered! Sorry, I had to.

I missed it, but I wanted to know the answers so I guessed, I got one right!
1haha i missed it too and also wanted to know about last night's episode - i somehow got 3 correct!
2does claire remind anyone else of julia stiles?
3i am having such a girl-crush on katarzyna. she's simply gorgeous. i don't understand why tyra keeps picking on her for being too sexy...and what all that about pornish noises she was making when she handed kataryzna her photo. please i'm sure porn girls wish they even had an ounce of katarzyna's beauty. she's eastern european for heaven's sake, and when you have her standing around other girls who look like your typical american girl (i'm looking at you allison) of course she's going stand out.
okay my rant is over.
4me too pinkflats! I love Katarzyna and really hope she wins
5Hopefully Tyra will learn to pronounce her name if she does win. Last night, she called her "Katarja"
69/10
7but sadly kikidawn, she won't win because tyra hates her, and as long as tyra keeps picking out her "best photo" (which by the way are never the best photo out of the bunch because i'm sure there is a photo that is ten times better than what tyra picks) they're going to pick on her for her sexy poses and she'll get eliminated for being too sexy.
hopefully she'll at least make it to top 3 than i can continue crushing on her for a while. lol.
i am starting to think that ANTM is one big conspiracy; you know Tyra already has a favorite to win or has already chosen someone earlier for better TV and she'll do whatever it takes to keep that girl on top, like maybe picking out mediocre photos for the other girls on judging time so her favorite girl could look the best.
yuck, i hate you tyra, but i love your show. i'm so conflicted. lol.
86/10 pretty bad since i watched it twice:P haha i missed the first half the first time.
so glad amis is gone.
9oh, and in the last question "My question is: Will Amis return to Amy, or has his new name grown on her?" .. HIS new name? did someone give her that name or something? i havent been following.
10Tami, yeah that was getting on my nerves
pinkflats, I've wondered that before too. It does seem like it is scripted in a way and that they know who will win before the season even starts. I've often wondered if ANTM was like Idol (and America voted) who would win. Cause the girl I think should win never does lol ... it's only happened 1 or 2 times. But Tyra wouldn't do that b/c we as 'normal' people don't see beauty like the 'industry' does.
11Does that get on anyone else's nerves? I hate it when she picks a girl that is not a 'classic' beauty and says 'No one will understand why I picked her... only the industry will know'.
Does anyone else notice that whoever is in the spotlight for the episode usually gets the boot? Last week it was "I have so much experience" Allison and this week it was "I wear Axl Rose headbands to panel because I think I look cool" Amis ... I definitely have always thought the show was scripted. Also, does anyone think that Tyra does voice-overs? Sometimes when she says bye to the girls I notice that she's talking but they never focus on her face. I dunno, sounds weird to me.
Early favorites are Katarzyna, (totally agree with you pinkflats, Tyra nit-picks her to death, so she won't win) Whitney, and Lauren ... but Katarzyna is definitely my favorite. She's gorgeous!
12Nomerz, I've definitely noticed that too! I watched the episode this morning and my boyfriend was here and he mentioned it. You can always tell when it happens b/c like you said they won't show her face and also there is a different tonal quality and background noise.
13Oh and I like Whitney too... but we all know she won't win either.
I am totally rooting for Katarzyna as well-plus I just like to say her name!
14OMG! i'm glad i'm not the only one who finds katarzyna gorgeous. i could seriously go lezzie for her (and i think i am going lezzie for her, lol.)...and i rarely say that for many girls.
anyhow enough about me lusting over her lol....but yeah i've noticed that too nomerz about tyra doing voice-overs, and i think she does!
and kikidawn, i always wondered what the show would turn out like if the models ACTUALLY picked out the best photos to present to the judge AND not tyra.
15oh good idea pinkflats... the models should be able to do that. I mean isn't that what they do when they go on 'go-sees'? Good idea.
And you're right Katarzyna is gorgeous! Just lovely
Oh I like your avatar pinkflats
16"and also there is a different tonal quality and background noise." yes, yes, yes kikidawn...you hit rigth on the nail. that's what makes it sound so weird. lol.
and i love whitney too. i loved how she stucked up for aimee (who felt uncomfortable being naked around the girls and marvita and dominque ganged up on her) and fatima is like "aimee wasn't the one starting something; whitney was the ONE starting it." and i'm like "b*tch, Please! if anything you are the one who usually starts something. mind your own beezwax."
AND i love how dominique thinks she's so high fashion but she's so trannilicious.
17"b*tch, Please! if anything you are the one who usually starts something. mind your own beezwax."
I can't stand Fatima... I don't know why - she is just so annoying!! I can't believe they made such a big deal about her not wanting to be naked in front of other girls! Big deal... so she's modest... big deal!
Oh and I don't remember when it was but the screen momentarily flashed to Dominique and my boyfriend was like "Was that a guy?!?" I started laughing and was like "nope... but she definitely looks like a tranny" lol!!
:D
18thanks for the compliment on my avatar. i wish for my future asian baby to look like her, lol.
"I mean isn't that what they do when they go on 'go-sees'?" i agree with you kikidawn...and also it will help the models develop an eye for details or how to pick out the bad apples from the rest, figuratively speaking. i think it'll really help them out in their modeling career.
tyra thinks she knows what goes on in the model world/fashion world, but it just shows in ANTM she is far removed from the world she used to work for....she's now a tv personality and because of that everything she'll pick out will be influenced by her wanting to build a brand.
19i hate Fatima too; she needs to get off her high horse...she thinks she's so above the other girls, but i'm loving that her photos have sucked! Just shows she can look like Iman but can't model like Iman even if her life depended on it.
and i do think aimee is like in 18 or 19...so it's understandable she'll feel uncomfortable naked; she probably had never have to share a bathroom with 13 other girls.
you're boyfriend is funny. and i can't believe he watches the show with you.
20"..she's now a tv personality and because of that everything she'll pick out will be influenced by her wanting to build a brand." -- very good point! She's trying to be like Oprah (not that there is anything wrong with Oprah-- I love her! But there can only be one Oprah!!)
and good point about how you can look like a model but not necessarily be one. I hate how Tyra always has to make a comment about how "this model is the queen of this" or "this model perfected this". She acts like they are all best buddies and I wonder how true that is or if those models even like their names being on the show.
As far as Josh (my b/f) watching with me... He watches Greys, Desperate Housewives, Lipstick Jungle, ANTM, and all those 'female' shows with me!! It's really sweet. He even like Greys and DH!
But I do watch his shows with him. (Office, Family Guy, CSI - I
like them all too, but they are more 'his' shows)
21"I hate how Tyra always has to make a comment about how "this model is the queen of this" or "this model perfected this". She acts like they are all best buddies and I wonder how true that is or if those models even like their names being on the show." OMG, i agree. but i was surprise to see elle mcpherson (sp?) there, but then again she was there for a purpose like to sell her lingerie.
i have stuck too long for ANTM, but now i think it's getting on my nerves more than ever. i loved when i stumbled upon the first cycle on television and i thought it was this great thing, sadly not anymore. only katarzyna is keeping my interest for this cycle.
and you're boyfriend watches those shows?! man i like to know what he now thinks of the female species because those tv shows show women as catty, backstabbing, lustful, needy, full of issues, etc..
22I didn't pick up ANTM until like the 3rd or 4th season - the one with Eva as the winner. But you are right it's changed... seems like Tyra gets more and more stuck on herself with every season. I don't know how long this can continue to go on.
As far as my b/f's views of women. His first two girlfriends did more damage than those shows ever could. I think that's why we are together... I am not like any of that you listed (please note I am not trying to brag ... just explaining my personality). I didn't get along with any of the girls in my HS grade b/c they were all like that. I don't like being like that... I don't believe in being backstabbing, catty, etc. but it makes for good tv lol!!!!
23"seems like Tyra gets more and more stuck on herself with every season" OMG i agree with you.
okay i love how you and i are on point on everything.
and no i didn't see it as bragging at all, and i'm glad you are not like those women. if there is one thing i admire it's a woman having the sincere willingness to have sisterly bonds with other women; no jealousy, no cattiness. it's one trait i look for in my female friends, and i'm glad i have yet to meet someone who doesn't have that trait.
but oh boy oh boy, it sure does make for great tv. and i think i now know why. it's because i'm not like any of them and to see my fellow women act with those traits is so foreign to me and i love it.
24Nomerz I thought I was the only one who noticed that about the spotlight person getting the boot too!!
25I also really like Katarzyna...she is utterly gorgeous, but like everybody else said, she might not win because Tyra doesn't really like her. I have an odd feeling Anya will go far because Tyra LOVES her...which I really don't know why. She hardly has screen time and really doesn't stand out.
"if there is one thing i admire it's a woman having the sincere willingness to have sisterly bonds with other women; no jealousy, no cattiness. it's one trait i look for in my female friends, and i'm glad i have yet to meet someone who doesn't have that trait."
Unfortunately that is all I find
I have only had a few really good friends in my life ... my
first bestfriend kind of ruined it for me. She was my bestfriend when it was convenient for her and then she found another girl to be friends with and completely dropped me. I guess I should
have known better, but I was only 13ish. After that happened it was kind of hard for me to trust other girls. Then I changed schools and did find a few who I was able to develop relationships
with.
Now I am in college and I have a few friends from high school and I girl I've met here (after 3 semesters!) that I consider my really close friends... but I have my mom and my sister --- I am *very* close with both of them.
And yeah, it's crazy we do agree on everything!!
26i think when you are in high school, you are just friends with people for the sake necessity. i always believe the saying that you meet your best friends in college, and my closest female friends i met them in college. i don't even talk to my HS friends anymore because i just don't think i can relate to them as much as i do with my college friends.
but my real best friends are my female cousins, who are very close to my age.
"And yeah, it's crazy we do agree on everything!!" tell me about it! i was just reading our previous comments and all i can see is "OMG i agree with you", "i agree with you so much."
okay i'm adding you in my friend list because i am enjoying our conversation her in this
thread.
and i apologize BUZZ if kikidawn and i have taken over this thread.
27Funny I was flipping back and forth between that and the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre when Lauren said that.
28Does anyone find it really annoying when all the models read that Tyra Mail machine thing together? I have to mute the TV, I can't stand it!!!
299/10. Yay!
30Great commentary and insight Kikidawn and Pinkflats!!! I agree with you both on so many points regarding ANTM. Personally, as the cycles progress, the girls get dumber and less modelesque. Truly, FEW go on to have successful print, editorial, or catalog careers.
Fatima is one big b*tch and I really hate the tough talk of the gangland girls. Whew, and the tranny Dominatrix looks older than I do. Her skin is leathery and a close-up on that face is not high fashion, it makes me SCARED! Talking in the 3rd person is annoying and makes me wonder if she is channeling "Sybil."
And Tyra is highly annoying! Her OVER-DRAMATIZATION is so over the top. And this season, it feels more than ever that MIZ Jay and Mr. Jay are merely props. Love Nigel and am liking Paulina, but I have to say that I miss Janice (she is crazy and self-absorbed, but she was forthright in her opinions and she does have a more honed eye as a photographer than Tyrid) and I miss Nole Marin from prior cycles.
At least with the show that Petra Nemcova did on TLC and Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel," you see a truer picture of the model's journey. You see them groomed beyond any serious training that ANTM provides and you see them in more professional scenarios with substantive feedback from photographers, agents, and panel members. You also see how they need to adhere to a diet and workout training and, on Petra's show, in the end, you see the various markets that the models will be most successful.
I'm liking Lauren, Claire and Katarzyna, they are the most interesting photographically of the bunch and they really have model height and bodies. Anya is so unattractive and that fried blonde weave is horrible. And what was Tyrid thinking when she put that horse mane on Marvita. It makes her look like a female Shannon Sharpe (former Denver Broncos player, NFL analyst), which is not a compliment.
318/10
32GO CLAIRE! I'm fond of Lauren too.
thanks maisiegirl.
33juiceejuice, I said the same thing, but I can't figure out why! It's totally Julia Styles in 10 Things, and I kind of love her for it.
I'm shocked Fatima has made it this far, her photos are terrible.
34Maisiegirl:
35What exactly is a "gangland girl"?
i think that Katarzyna did the best this week. She is one of my favorite's!
36I find that photoshoot disturbing on so many levels
37hey,I'm from thailand I like allison cycle 12 she so like dolls and she eye so big same dolls too.
