We have all heard this question for about 21 cycles. We've seen it all, the drama, the tears, some of the worst makeovers in the entire series, but what matters to the ANTM-obsessed is relevance after the cycle. So right now, I will be counting down the top 150 models of the entire series who I believe really managed to be on top.
Only one girl (or guy) has what it takes.
Should start in a few hours or tomorrow my time depending on how much time I have
Molly / CariDee / Anya / Jenah / Chantal to win please.
Brittani or Ann should take the crown really. Those other bitches can leave now
You have a top 150? I think I barely have a top 20.
EEWWWWWWWWW PAVEL AT THE THOUGHT OF BRITTANI EVEN TOP 100.
molly was as nappy as her wev
real beauty
Lol it looks like Britney's weave in your av.
brit is owning it tho
#150: Monique Calhoun
Cycle 7, 11th place
*prepares to get slaughtered*
No, but really, I did say that relevance was gonna be a major part of this countdown, and she was hella relevant. I mean, the antics she did in the house were HILARIOUS. The only reason why I was debating on whether or not she should be on the list or not was because she was... kind of a bitch. And that's just an understatement.
Her personality: Okay, this bitch is far from bonkers. Like, the first thing she did when she entered the house was pour water on a bed to make it look like she was "marking her territory". Okay, first of all, that is just plain wrong, and second, no one is gonna think you had an accident unless you're like three. Not like it really hindered Eugena in this competition anyway. Second episode comes along, and she gets DQ'd from a challenge. Does that put her in danger of the bottom 2? Probably should. And what does she do? Stays on the phone for over three hours. At least it gave us this thing:
Even funnier was when Anchal basically told her off, but this is not the place to talk about it.
Oh and may I remind you that she rubbed her panties on Melrose's bed? Dear God.
Basically, she's a plain bitch. But she was hilarious.
Her modeling skills: Can't really talk about this in detail but I will say this - she only took two pictures, and neither of them were that good anyway, so glad to see that she was eliminated.
~ Her best picture ~
Her makeover picture was pretty good though, but this was the only counted photoshoot that she did her best in.
Clue for #149: A guy.
#149: Mike Scocozza
Cycle 20, 13th place
And if Monique's inclusion wasn't enough to lead into my public lynching, this probably will. I guess the one reason he's here is that he's one of the models who both had a short run and stuck to my mind, and despite that, he's one of those guys that either want to make me gouge my eyes in frustration or just stare at him blankly. I will give him props for being the oldest model that cycle and having a "started from the bottom" story that was kind of unique (although Marvin pulled it off a lot better, but credit where credit is due). That frustrates me, but hey, relevance is relevance.
His personality: Basically started from the bottom and he kinda stuck to it because he wasn't doing so well in challenges and yeah. He stated in his audition that he worked at an ice cream truck, then all of a sudden shows off this amazing Teen Wolf worthy body. Like Daniel Sharman would kill for a body like that, and he's already flawless. The reason why he ranks this low is for two reasons:
1.) That one time where he wanted to hook up with Bianca, which was kinda weird
2.) That other time when he drank his frustrations away because of said challenge failure, then passing out in the confessional.
So his drinking wasn't as apparent as... Adam or Lisa D'Amato, but it's still something.
His modeling skills: Okay, this dude absolutely cannot model. It's weird because he's given a lot of potential (and a body that Toby definitely would), but this boy just did not know what to do with it. It's like Sarah Rhoades level frustrating. Although, I will give him this: this is cycle 20, there's still social media, and the photo shoots are all wonky, so it's pretty uncommon for contestants' in-show and off-show portfolios to be this inconsistent throughout the cycle. It's like he'll give us complete horrors like the Trailer Trash shot then come around and give us something like this:
~ His best picture ~
Like, dude. Where was this during the weeks you were still on? It's high fashion enough. That said, the rest of his portfolio was a bit of a mess so...
Also, you kinda have to admit that his bone structure reminds me of a gorilla.
Clue for #148: Blonde to brunette makeover
EWWW GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
He was sooooo stiff. So yeah I echo the comment above.
He had a good body. That's about it.
Mike was beautiful!
Not even. Jeremy was a lot hotter. Especially oiled.
Okay, Jeremy is BEAUTIFUL, but this is not the time. That may or may not be a spoiler.
#148: Clark Gilmer
Cycle 11, 9th place
As if I was gonna put Brooke this low! Her I adore. Clark... not so much.
With her placing, I believe that there is a thin line between being a loved villain and just being a plain out bitch and she fel right into the latter with those transphobic comments about Isis. Like, no.
Her personality: In retrospect, there are three things that I would approve of when I talk about Clark:
1.) "Bureaucracy? I don't even know what that means!"
2.) Her smoking hot bod
3.) The fact that she reiterated that she's a natural blonde.
Other than that, she's pretty vile. Like we get it, you're really conservative and all that but when you start slamming other contestants because of their identity, that's pretty messed up.
Her modeling skills: I think we can all admit that she has all the potential in the world but her photos on-show were almost as hit-and-miss as The Vamps' entire discography. Like I guess her best shots are her Fierce Eyes (which didn't really deserve FCO), and her Sports Illustrated shoot because that did look like a legitimate bikini shot. I think the judges comparing her to Lauren Brie is an insult to the latter. #oops I feel like I would put her in the same level as Mike, with the fact that she's sexy as hell but it doesn't translate into her shots, save for like two. But two isn't gonna cut it in this competition honey.
~ Her best picture ~
I picked this because it kinda transcends the whole smize sh*t Tyra keeps on blasting about.
Clue for #147: Early eliminee
#147: Allison Kuehn
Cycle 10, 13th place
Time for me to check this girl. Okay, I guess the reason why she's relevant enough to get on this list is because of her stank personality (though not as much as Clark but still pretty bad), despite mediocre photos throughout. She's honestly pretty annoying and I kinda just started dying after she got eliminated. She's pretty much the opposite of Allison Harvard.
Her personality: Allison came onto the show with a pretty stank personality. We all know that she was anorexic (because she mentioned it on the show), but what's annoying about using that is when you get extremely defensive, which was what she did. At least it wasn't as crazy as the other fights Fatima was in ("I AM A BITCH- NO YOU CANNOT CALL ME BITCH), but it was still pretty horrible. She was also hella arrogant. See: she doesn't know the words "thank you". At least her hair really did look like she was on fire here.
Her modeling skills: Out of - count Em, two - pictures, none of them were really that good, so I don't know why she was acting so cocky in the first place, especially with targeting someone who was obviously the better model.
~ Her best picture ~
Also interesting, there are probably only three models I wasn't surprised to see go home early when I re watched the show, and she was definitely one of them.
Clue for #146: Made it overseas.
I loved Allison's look but her personality was questionable.
#146: Liz Williams
Cycle 15, 6th place
So... really not the first time someone has gone overseas without that strong of a portfolio (I'm looking at you, Jaeda), but someone who was extremely annoying for all the complaints and stuff plus an inconsistent portfolio (despite one or two average photos here and there) really deserves to be this low.
Her personality: So we all know the whole poor girl's anthem thing - "I'm on welfare, I'm on food stamps, I've been through hell and back" etcetera etcetera etcetera, but it kinda gets old after a while, and when you start complaining about certain stuff in the shoot repeatedly, you know that this girl was gonna be a pain. Even Mr. Jay didn't like her. Yet she still made it overseas... hmmmmm...
Her modeling skills: I guess I got too caught up with Liz citing excuse after excuse and her "swagger" that I never really got the chance to critique her portfolio as a whole. Looking at it again, I realized that I didn't really miss much. I feel like sometimes she's on point and other times she can be kinda eh. Overall her pictures were pretty subpar save for the Rodeo Drive picture and her John Galliano picture, none of them really did her unique face justice. It just seemed like she was just being kept around for the drama. Plus, Rhianna shouldn't have been eliminated for the underwater shoot.
~ Her best picture ~
Overall, kinda eh model, but her personality stank overall, so that's why she's low.
Clue for #145: Also made it overseas.
Alison and Kyle were such bitches.
Kyle was sent home the week after she was called first. So random.
Loved Liz in her cycle <3
Clark way too low girl
#145: Ann Markley
Cycle 3, 4th place
I am baffled that she even made it so far in the competition. She was a complete bitch the entire way, threatened to knock someone out, made a friendship and destroyed it in a matter of weeks, and survived a hella bunch of bottom two appearances to get here, which kinda proves that there are a lot of other girls who deserved to go overseas *cough cough Toccara*. Though to tell you the truth, the girls were a lot weaker than previous cycles and I think I'd be more appalled if someone like Kelle made it overseas, but I still can't at Ann making it farther than a bunch of girls who had better portfolios.
Her personality: Ann noted that before the competition she was a water polo player. That explains her cut-throat and salty personality. I guess that really helped her in the runway, but it made her seem so controlling and stuff. She was given the villain edit in my opinion, while some people say it was probably Eva, though I think there were a lot of bitches that cycle (kinda like All-Stars but it was kinda predicting that). She made this blooming friendship with Eva then it really just crumbled once they went overseas because Eva was by far the better model. (spoiler: I really like Eva.) Also there was the incident with Amanda's crystals where Jennipher bumped into her and all hell broke loose, but to be fair that was Amanda starting sh*t more than Ann. And I guess what she's most infamous for: carving "Clean Your Shit" in Cassie's brownies. Like, seriously.
Her modeling skills: Her walk was good, but her portfolio STANK. I felt like she didn't take an amazing photo in her entire stint of the competition. She has an interesting face and eye intensity but it never really translated into the photos, which is although common, pretty bad for someone who went overseas. She survived bottom 2 like four times to get there so you would think that the judges would have tried to send her home before the top 6? Well, Tyra did, and it was one of the best decisions she ever thought of.
~ Her best picture ~
Clue for #144: An even-numbered cycle
Here for some Cycle 13 please!
Ann was so up and down but she did get some good photos, she was top 2 like 4 times. I loved her as a character more than anything. I'm loving this Cody!
'Clean your shit' totally forgot about that. That cycle had so much drama, Ann was involved in most of it...
#144: Brenda Arens
Cycle 14, 8th place
When doing this countdown, I never really factored in whether or not I hated the contestant, just how relevant they are. This next contestant was pretty relevant, being one of the many bitches that cycle (one of the bitchiest since cycle 3), and for having a slightly interesting makeover that she whines about for AGES.
Her personality: So this was the cycle that was full of young moms (and Tyra saying "sex?" a lot of the time during auditions), and Brenda was one of them. Not only that but apparently her husband likes gorgeous long hair. HA. This is America's Next Top Model, and in the ANTM world, you rarely get what you want. So they give her this awkward faux hawk that although elevated her look a bit, with the makeup they used for the shoot it made her look like a 40-year-old. And Brenda was not feeling it. She moaned about that, then they gave her a second makeover with shorter hair and she moaned about that. Honey, to quote Fat Amy, "it's just God punishing you for being a ginger."
Oh and all that random stuff with Angelea? Yeah, NEVER mess with Angelea. She was in the top 150 schools in the country. You were even lucky to make the top 150 of this countdown.
Her modeling skills: SHE PHOTOGRAPHS OLD AS F*CK. Though it's a lot less apparent than Luke Wilson doppelgänger Mike *cue Natalia Kills gifs*, but it's there. Her portfolio overall... I kinda say that she improved gradually throughout her stint on ANTM, so much that her elimination photo was... quite good. Let's not talk about that perfume ad because it makes her look like Suzanne Sommers with red hair. I really think she could have gone home with that picture instead of Naduah (who was criticized for producing an ad-type photo for a perfume ad). I just don't get the judges sometimes.
~ Her best picture ~
Clue for #143: One of the worst makeovers in the history of ANTM. (CALM YOUR TITS HEEZUS, IT'S NOT MOLLY)
And for a brief interlude,
The ANTM Cycles From Best To Worst!
#21: Cycle 17 - All Stars
Winner: Lisa D'Amato
Cycle Villain: who the f*ck knows?
Best Makeover: ALEXANDRIA EVERETT BY FAR
Worst Makeover: Idk tbh
My god, this cycle was a mess. It started with the overdone panel in the first episode of judging and ended with Lisa of all people winning. Like HUH? I felt like I was watching a full season of Punk'd. The eliminations were a bit of a mess as well. Like I felt like Angelea became the new Ann Markley or something because this girl ended up in the bottom 2 a bunch of times (doing it FLAWLESSLY yes, but a bunch of times). Poor Allison got robbed twice in this cycle. It's like the producers don't want her to win. Well she's won in the public's eyes.
The photoshoots were (going Liam on this one) http://youtu.be/o-nr1nNC3ds Normally I wouldn't condone shots in the backyard because they seem a little too "high school reunion" type, but with this it kinda worked, but I wasn't too keen on most of them. Especially the salad one.
omg the greek salad photoshoot is ICONIC. Also Queen Angelea won, I don't give a damn how they changed it in the end.
The worst makeover clearly HAS to be Denzel's.
Brenda - mess.
In a twist... I'm gonna shade two models today rather than one! But first...
That awful beard. Up there with Molly's noodle hair.
His second beard-weave wasn't much of an improvement either, so we could say he also had the worst re-makeover ever?
Also, I can't believe he came NINTH. It felt as if he were around for AGES.
Probably because he was shoved down our throats like every single episode with the whole Mirjana non drama et al
#142: Jaeda Young
Cycle 7, 6th place
6th? 6th? What in the world was Tyra thinking by sending this girl overseas when I could count four other girls who had wayyyy stronger portfolios than her?
Her personality: I guess I can forgive Jaeda because she had such a tough exterior, but when you cry over a makeover especially when it makes you look like Halle Berry (who is sexy af so that it a MAAAAAJOR compliment), it gets a bit old. Oh and we can't forget about the whole Nacho story, although that's on his racist ass more than Jaeda's. One rule about the show: NEVER carry your frustrations to the photoshoot because they're gonna bump you as low as this.
One thing I would applaud Jaeda for is her ratting out Monique for throwing away all the girls' food. Just more of a reason to put her above "princess of the loony bin" Monique.
Her modeling skills: Uhhh... right when she was saved over AJ (who was by far the better model), the entire fandom pretty much knew there was something wrong with the elimination order. Like seriously, this girl had one of the most underwhelming portfolios that cycle (Monique obviously had the worst). Her photo as Whitney Houston? No. Her Hair Wars photo? Eh. Her strong woman photo? Maaaaaybe. That gave me Tyra teas tbh. She did take one stellar photo, and it was during that really awkward runway, the same episode where Eugena's leg decides to do an underwater shoot of its own.
~ Her best picture ~
And while this was H2T at it's finest, the rest of her portfolio... to quote Marina, she could do better than that.
Clue for #141: Guts Over Fear
h2t(its)
the rest is awful
Jaeda was another Ann, being VERY lucky to get where she did. Anchal, Brooke and A.J going before her? NO.
It's the same story with Whitney, who was in the bottom 2 FOUR times, but she actually managed to win...WHAT!?
Off topic but
Whitney:
Bottom 2: 4
First call out: 1
Anya:
Bottom 2: 0
First Call Out: 5
I'm clearly not one of them but Whitney did have her fans. Saleisha however..
Post Chantelle already. Such a non-model. Wikipedia also tells me she goes by 'Winnie Harlow'. LOL.
#141: Chantelle Brown-Young
Cycle 21, 6th place
Props to Heezus for calling it! Note: I love her skin, I think it's very unique and can easily capture anyone's eye (especially on photographs), but Chantelle herself was just too damn irritating. And her comeback was not too stellar either. Then again, I was too upset over Ben and Matthew not coming back that I completely had to bypass how annoying she was.
Her personality: So Chantelle has this skin disease that gives her albino white spots all over her body and she feels very comfortable with it - okay we get it. But when you basically annoy the hell out of the other contestants (even moreso than Romeo and he was one of the worst contestants in the entire series tbh), you're not really helping yourself in the public eye, let alone the judges. Her thing with Yu Tsai? Very irritating, while at the same time hilarious. Wow.
Her modeling skills: I had no idea how inconsistent her portfolio was until doing this countdown. I browsed through the portfolio (which just happened to be released for all before the cycle aired as with cycles 19 and 20), and there were some photos that were decent, and some photos that were... stiff as HELL. Her Jinny Kim campaign shot seriously gave me Saleisha teas. She did have one amazing shot, and it really brought out her features and her hair, rather than exaggerating her skin:
~ Her best picture ~
She is most known for lip-synching Sia's chorus for the video of Eminem's "Guts Over Fear" and Wikipedia has since changed her name to Winnie Harlow. Like wow. She looks gorgeous in the video btw.
Clue for #140: Cycle divisible by 3.
I've actually seen her in some adds. She must be doing alright!
More flops, pls. Where's Nikeysha?
on the mcdonalds day shift probably
Hi! All the finals stuff had been going crazy for me so this was put on the backburner temorarily, but now I'm ready to dish out some more dirt!
#140: Saleisha Stowers
Cycle 9, Winner
The first winner. Honestly, I'm not too surprised. She's one of the most despised winners of the entire series, and normally that would rank her up on the relevance scale - infamy is fame. But really what she did outside the show eclipsed her entire stint in cycle 9. Everyone knows about the controversy that she knew Tyra and had appeared on her talk show a multiple amount of times, went to one of her training camps, and had done other work besides modeling on other networks. This was what ruined the show's "reality" aspect.
Her personality: The auditions showed her as this effervescent young woman who had a lot of pizzazz and a commercial look. However, I found it quite forgettable. Especially considering she got into the top 3 (let alone won) despite other girls who had waaaaaaaaayyyyyy more personality than her (i.e. Bianca). Even weirder was that Jenah showed off a more sensitive side of her personality and then it was "Bye Felicia".
Her modeling skills: Okay, so I guess her portfolio was decent (with pictures that were I guess better than I remembered), but I can't shake off the fact that she keeps on giving the same dumb girl look. Remember that one picture I was talking about during Chantelle's roast? WORST. PICTURE. EVER. She did take some "gems" though, meaning some photos were better than others, but certainly weren't enough to win. Really, I only think she got far because Tyra kept giving her first call-outs out the wazoo for pictures that were pretty mediocre.
~ Her best picture ~
Tyra has made a lot of bad decisions, and I believe this is definitely one. If it were based on sheer model talent, Jenah would have KILLED IT. Alas, you can't change the past, so the bottom for you. Bye Felicia Saleisha.
Clue for #139: Also final 2.
thank god this is back. Lots more please Cody.
Selsiaha (nah too irrelevant to find out if that's even nearly the correct spelling), was so meh. I remember feeling a bit 'oh?' When she was top 4 and then thinking it was really random that she won. It was annoying because I loved both 2nd and 3rd places in that cycle.
I did love that cycle though! Cycles 2 - 16 really all were golden. With 2, 5, 11 and 13 all being slight dips in quality.
more plz cody
Not at the Cycle 11 shade, Joe! </3
#139: Marvin Cortes
Cycle 20, 2nd Place
I absolutely COULDN'T at this guy making it overseas, let alone the top two. One big indication that Tyra is basically choosing with her vagina when it comes to the guys. Words cannot describe how much this guy annoyed me throughout the course of the entire season. One thing that I did approve of was pulling Jeremy onto his side when the eliminated contestants were voting on who to support because let's face it: bros before hoes. Other than that, UGH. Poor ha.
His personality: Basically consists of three things: crying, awkward boners, and more crying. Like the whole "janitor's son" thing was okay for a while but once he started getting further than Nina I was just like "shut the f*ck up already". Then again, all the repeated shove-their-backstory-down-our-throats tactics seemed to have been played for all the contestants throughout the entire season so I BLAME YOU, EDITORS. Watching the entire season with my friend during our freshman year, we could not stand him the entire time. Like first he starts flirting with everyone to a degree (including Jeremy but hey who wouldn't), then hooks up with Renee. I was surprised that lasted longer than her elimination.
His modeling skills: I... may have already summed this up:
#138: Keith Carlos
Cycle 21, Winner
Another case of Tyra choosing with her vagina. There were all these plans of having a guy winner, this resulting in three guys and Lenox being the final four. Now, in a perfect world, Will and Lenox would have been in the final two, Adam being sorta there, and Keith nowhere near the final six. His face seems very... generic. Tbh they only picked him as a winner just because he looks like Tuson Beckford. Wasted an opportunity to capitalize on Will potentially winning.
His personality: Is it just me, or is there not a single part of his personality that seemed to have stood out other than "football player" and "manaconda"? ...yeah. That last one was a bit much. Once again, he has mentioned that he's pretty much the doppelgänger for Tyson Beckford. Wonder what Natalia Kills would say about that...
I guess I can give him credit for helping Will come out to his father, but everything else just seemed a bit much.
His modeling skills: Yeah, Natalia sums it up :
We get that the judges would go gaga over his look, but did it not bother them that he kept giving the same face the entire f*cking season? Normally, giving the same face would get him eliminated near the final 9 or so, but he just kept going and going... Like I can't. I guess the only thing that was different was his poses but I don't get why he had to try to give the Old Spice guy look in every picture.
It's not exactly a bad portfolio for a winner, I mean there are some gems:
~ His best picture ~
I mean this says "look here lady I'm gonna save you from those guards, but first... LET ME TAKE A SELFIE" but again with THE FACE.
Cycle 21 could have had a MUCH better winner than this. Come on, Tyra. Your ovaries are clouding your judgment.
Clue for #137: Won a runway challenge.
I saw a pic of his manaconda recently and can say that THAT is his best picture.
Was it like pantless or just a visible shape~ if it's the former plz i'm forwarding you http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=4397
I've been watching some clips from cycle 21 lately and I agree that Keith was kind of a boring winner. He did seem to give pretty much the same face everywhere and his personality was nice, but nothing interesting. I don't remember him helping Will come out to his father though?
#137: Kacey Leggett
Cycle 15, 9th Place
The first contestant in the countdown to be featured in two cycles. She first signed up for cycle 11 (and flopped miserably) then returned for cycle 15 and also seemed to flop miserably save for one or two pictures. She's also pretty annoying. Yeah... stop screeching gurl.
Her personality: I kinda found it funny that she was considered one of the bitchiest models of the series despite making it to 9th and not being all that interesting and owning that bitch position in the first place. Come on. If you're given the bitch edit, commit to it. The reason I say this is because she threw a meeting because she was scared that none of the girls liked her, just to compensate for the fact that she flirted with the male models from the Dark Angel photoshoot. Like... decide on what you're trying to be honey.
Her modeling skills: So... supposedly Tyra gave her the contacts to amplify the "effect" she gave with her eyes, but my theory was that she gave her contacts to make it easier to take the pictures. However, we all know that the best way to augment those eyes is with a smize. And she didn't give that either. I found her underwater picture to be very overrated (and should have not gotten a higher call-out than Kayla), and she never really became much of a stunner even with that. One thing that I do love is that she has a nice profile if the light shows it enough...
~ Her best picture ~
Her pose is very superhero-like, and it reminds me of a dark version of X-Men's Nightcrawler.
I was never really upset with Kacey's elimination because she just kinda faded away yet still had a bitch edit, so I think she might be above Kendal in that aspect, but this countdown is
A.) cumulative, and
B.) very spontaneous.
So that's not really a spoiler...
Clue for #136: Triple Threat.
Dunno who that is
My most memorable moment of Kacey went something as follows:
Kacey: All y'all don't like me? You think I'm fake?
*turns to Chelsey*
YOU THINK I'M FAKE?
Chelsey: Yes.
#136: Ben Schreen
Cycle 21, 12th Place
*skip to 1:13 in this video and there's the reason why he's pretty high despite his ANTM placing*
His personality:
Ben wasn't that bad, just forgettable tbh.
Molly for number 1 plz.
That Ben was kinda cute.
Beyonceing ha surprise bitch comeback to the forefront
#135: Alasia Ballard
Cycle 14, 6th Place
Coming up next is one of the most gif-able contestants, though not many, and for the funniest reasons. The reason she's so low is because when she gets angry, she's SO F*CKING ANNOYING. But when she's awesome, she's awesome. Personally, I've had a bit of a roller coaster opinion when it came to her. She wasn't that good of a model to begin with, and she kinda just dragged along. Then again, most of the models that got eliminated before her were utter shite (bar maaaaaaaybe Tatiana), so no real loss there. Now that I think about it, this cycle was pretty weak.
Her personality:
Pros: *Alexandra falls* "OH LORD BABY GURL "
Cons: when she's angry, she's screechy.
I was honestly scared for those girls when she blew up on them. Exhibit A: Ren. She tells her to shut up and all of a sudden Alasia wants to act like the Bianca of the season. While it was partly Ren's fault for not committing to being a bitch, that screeching noise of a scream though . Lord JESUS this bitch needs to calm down.
While let's face it - that cycle needed a prime bitch, Alasia was not one.
Her modeling skills: Inconsistency + kinda mediocre portfolio? Doesn't really spell potential to me. She does have her highlights though, which I believe Tyra does give credit for, so credit where credit is due. To be completely honest, I never really payed that much attention to Alasia's portfolio and kinda just brushed her first two photos to the side because they were nothing special. The interpretive dance photo was nice, and her "fake" photo was great. What really caught my eye though was this:
~ Her best picture ~
That positioning, that eye intensity, that body angle, that picture just gave me oodles of life.
Overall impression: I do think Alasia's pretty decent in pictures and it's entirely because of her shrill personality that she's this low. Go figure.
Clue for #134: A winner.
About time!
Alasia was entertaining, to say the least. I did like all the pictures of her you mentioned, but this one was pretty awful:
I did like that she felt like she was really kinda growing up during her time on the show. She hadn't really experienced much of life before, and ANTM gave her an opportunity to do that.
HOW U TREATIN UR DAUGHTER!!!
That picture was NOT her best. It is TERRIBLE. No right hand, nothing in the leg department, bland expression, basic ass pose. FLUSH
Maybe this was her best picture
jk, although I don't think it's as bad as Tyra and Nigel were saying.
My own favourite is probably the 'fake' one:
Yessss it's back.
This girl was crazy.
#134: Lisa D'Amato
Cycle 5, 6th Place
Cycle 17, Winner
Throwback to the Buzzrate results thread where Tirren started to bash Ethan for reasons unknown then proceeded to slam Adam for reasons unknown, and I decided to mediate the situation a bit by http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=181409&view=findpost&p=5162843. That quote was made by this girl.
Now, I have to admit, if I was only ranking up to Cycle 16, she would be in my top 100 because she was hilarious at points (see the gif above). Then All-Stars happened. Lisa... what went wrong? You did great with the beginning photo and then it just... fell apart. Then she won All-Stars and snubbed Queen Allison which further proved my point that the entire cycle was absolute bullshit. At least Angelea had some flair, but she had to pull a Pav and sacrifice ha qualification into the final three.
Her personality:
I have stressed time and time again that All-Stars was a hot mess that should be erased from existence. But let's not delve on that; let's take a minute to reminisce about Season 5. And she was HILARIOUS. I found it funny how her makeover changed from going darker to being a "believable blonde" though any makeover at that stage would make her look 5 years older than she really was. Then there was the whole Cousin It situation (oh God, that brings back memories), then she peed in her diaper, which still makes my top 10 most random ANTM moments of the entire series. Her chocolate endorsement challenge was also pretty interesting: "You can use it in many different ways, such as arousal."
Then she got into All-Stars and tried to recreate all that, and suddenly the spark was gone. Something happened that didn't want me to click with her. Let me give you a rundown on Lisa's moments on the cycle:
- not wanting to do a bob because she thought her longer hair was more daring than the shorter look (and even then her first photo had exactly that)
- attacking Bianca for questioning the efficiency of Shannon's phone schedule because she was last and obviously it seemed calculated
Okay, let's pause there. I'm actually #TeamBianca on this whole fiasco: if something's wrong, then something's wrong. Like there are some situations in which the girls might not have an efficient number of time to call their families, such as a random Tyra Mail or maybe Miss J popping up in the middle of the night. There needs to be some flexibility. Glad I got that out of my chest. What Lisa did was TOTALLY uncalled for.
- letting Bianca crack because of this entire fiasco
- seeming fake after Brittany and Sheena's eliminations
- proceeding to win it all despite a mediocre portfolio (and I will get to that later)
You can tell that I'm frustrated with how that cycle turned out.
Her modeling skills: Looking at her two cycles intrigued me because, she was one of the models that I didn't pay as much attention to during their first cycle, and then all of a sudden comes All-Stars and she's the most inconsistent of them all. *sighs* Her Season 5 portfolio was not that bad, I can assure you, but there are photos where she does look as old as she is now. Keyword: now. I think she stepped up her game in All-Stars by looking a lot younger in photos but that might just be the quality of the cameras these days. However, I felt that she was one of those models who would bring it one day, then falter the next, and that frustrates me. And to win with that? WHY TYRA, WHY?!?!
Temper tantrum aside, I really like her CoverGirl picture. There, I said it.
~ Her best picture ~
*sighs* She would have been top 100 if All-Stars didn't put her into shambles...
Clue for #133: Leona Lewis
It's on my bucket list to calm down, take a break and eat a cookie with her at least once.
