"America's Next Top Model" — What a Bummer


Updated 03/15/07 3:02 PM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 32 comments

The makeover show is usually my favorite episode of "America's Next Top Model," but wasn't last night's just kind of depressing? I mean, poor Jael! First, she finds out that a close friend of hers has just died from an overdose, which I thought ANTM handled in a really uncomfortable way. (Also, does the episode title, "The Girl Who Cries All the Time," refer to Jael? If so, doesn't that seem a little insensitive, given that her friend just died?)

As if that weren't enough, Jael then had to endure 8 hours getting a very painful weave that looked awful. Tyra phoned in to stop the tresses (sorry, couldn't resist), and the stylists undid the whole thing and gave Jael a short boy-cut. Thankfully, the new 'do looks great, and she took a killer photo. Which is all the more impressive considering that icky photo shoot, which somehow managed to make both candy and naked models look entirely unappetizing.

Like always, the makeovers were hit or miss: I loved Felicia's bangs, but Brittany's weave took her from awkward/cute to awkward/skanky. (BuddyTV has some great before and after photos.)

Also, be sure to vote on which model you think will be sent home next!

I totally agree with your recap. These photos looked so weird. none of them looked particularly cute and the candy was totally gross looking. also, i was a little disappointed that no one got too upset over their hairdos. I think mostly it was because everyone went long. Did you notice that trend? almost everyone had long tresses put in.

I found the episode lacking too. Basically everyone got "bigger" hair or a short brown cut. Boo! Also, I think the crying-girl title referred to Brittany. All the lasses in the house were sniping at her because she was so emotional/fake/sick on a continuous basis. I am pretty darn sure they weren't referring to Jael. My favorites are Jaslene, Jael and Sarah.

What on earth were they thinking with these photos? It is like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory on acid.
definitely refers to brittany

Oh, thank goodness. I thought it might refer to Brittany, so I'm glad you guys caught that.

Jaslene does look gross. I never really thought she looked anorexic skinny before, but she does in this picture.
I'll be the voice of dissent and say that I like Brittany. I think she models well and has a wonderful new look. She's one of my favorites other than Whitney and Felicia.

This whole season has been disappointing. No one is really likable - in fact, some of the models, namely Renee, make me embarrassingly furious. She is so horrible I cant really take it. Natasha = Angelina Jolie, and I just want someone else to make the connection! She is one of the reasons I still tune in, because I find the clueless-Russian bit endearing (for now), but the Tyra train-wreck is what keeps me coming back for more. She is so ridiculous - I love it.

I love Jaslene! I'm so afraid that she's getting the "no personality" edit, and will probably get kicked off the show because of it. And what were they thinking with Brittany's hair- she looked so cute before! I think they gave Felicia the bangs to cover up those awful eyebrows (anyone else bothered by those).

Oh my god, SaraSmile...never made the Natasha/Angelina connection but you are so right.
I agree Sara, I love this show, but I feel let down this season. The crop of girls aren't very 'WOW' to me as models or as people on the show.

The candy photo shoot was terrible; none of the girls looked good. Only Jael and Sarah (with short cuts) look good, the rest were just skanky looking. Overall too many of the girls are bottom of the barrel. ANTM needs to improve fast.
At least Jaslene has more personality than Diana. Geesh that girl is boooooring. I was sad to see Cassandra go b/c she seemed really cool. Yes, Jaslene is WAY skinny. That's the thing I'm finding most people talking about. I hate Brittany's new hair. I hate Jael's new hair. She looks like a rat now. This episode so lacked something. And do people really still laugh at Tyra's fake "I can act" antics? When she was freaking out about having her hair cut and walking in all "What's goin on?" I was like, "Gimme a break, Tyra. This isn't called 'Watch Tyra Act and then Put Her in a Movie.' This show is about modeling...or it used to be." FEED THESE GIRLS!

Ooh trippy. The photos are kinda eh and the makeup is a tad much. Brittany's face in her photo was nice, had a harlequin feel to it. Jaslene needs to eat the food in her hands, dear god that's a scary thin. I missed the show itself though because my cable went kaput.

YIKES, this was a crappy shoot. And poor Jael. But I have to say that it's no surprise that she has druggie friends.
Jaslene is scary. I think she looks like a tranny-manny. But I have a feeling she'll stay at least when they go on the trip abroad somewhere.

I like Jaslene. She is my favorite. It made me mad when they told her to bring more culture to panel right after they made her take of her beautiful oversized ethnic earrings. Did anybody else want to know what drug Jael's friend oded on?

I didn't think the makeovers were as drastic as they have in past seasons. I did like all of the makeovers though. I felt so bad for Jael last night. Renee is so jealous of Brittany. I do agree that Brittany's complaining was over the top last night.
This season...I don't have an actual favorite person on the show. Everyone of the contestants annoy me to no end. And Brittany cries too much. I loved Felicia's bangs

I can't stand Renee. It's so obvious to me that she's so defensive against Brittney because she feels threatened by her. I think Brittney will win the competiton and I think it will be her and either Jael or Jaslene in the final.

did anyone else notice nigel's comment to Jael that made her cry? i hate how trivial and cutting he can be. i loved when renee told brittnay she was acting like a high schooler and renee then proceeded to flick her off. i'm on team jaslene and feel bad the judges are giving her such a hard time about "personality." i think she's classy.

I like Brittany, and love her new hair but she does need to stop crying. I also like Sarah, Dionne and Jael's new look. I'm not sure who my favorite to win is though. I'm with some of you, most of these girls aren't sticking out to me like previous year's ones.
jaslene is my fave, but she did look WAY TOO skinny, very unhealthy.

I love this show! My friends and I gather every week together to watch it all together. One thing that has been irking us about this season so far is Jaslene's voice... Her voice sounds like a deaf person's voice! Does anyone else hear this?! And Dionne is the one to watch out for...very fierce!

I missed that episode but I'll watch the recap tonight _____________________________________________________________ Behind every great man, there's a woman rolling her eyes :oy:

brittany takes amazing pictures but she's sooo annoying.. jaslene takes really great pictures too but she is a little too skinny.. i liked renee at first when i looked through her pictures on the website but after seeing her on the show she's kind of a bitch
When i watched the episode last nite i was shocked to see how skinny Jaslene is. I mean, it looks so unreal, that is not even a human torso. I can't imagine a whole digestive system inside, there's barely room for a couple of bones. She looks so unhealthy, like Nelly Furtado on crack.
