America’s Next Top Model Cycle 22 – Episode 1 The Guys and Girls Make It to Hollywood [RECAP]

Episode 1 ANTMYa’ll know I’m a sucker for this show ^^ I love me some mama TyTy so of course I still watch the show since Adrianne took the title back in 2003. So we’re now at the 22nd cycle and the show will surely go on and on as opposed to news of it being the last one. This is also the third cycle that includes boys in it – yes, admit it. It’s more fun with them boys in it yeah? It will also be the first time that the show will have its first deaf contestant namely the uber-gorg Nyle DiMarco!!!

The Judges

So the show premiered yesterday (or the fifth) and it was just the selection of who will be making the cut. The guys and girls were interviewed by the panel of judges which still consist of Tyra, Kelly Cutrone, Miss J Alexander and Yu Tsai as the creative director for two consecutive cycle now.

The aspiring contestants displayed their runway skills at the red-carpet catwalk!

Some of the models whom I really liked this episode:

Nyle – he’s also the first guy to meet with the judges! He’s totally killing this first episode! I can already see a final four placement for him!!! He’s just so charming! Disability or not. He’s totally got me!

MameAt the confessional, Mame wowed me the best. This girl looks awesome! No wonder she placed 4th from the recently concluded Miss USA! She must look effervescent in person! Seriously girl, you are crazy beautiful!

And Lacey! Super fun Lacey! And she just announced on national TV that she’s still got the V-card!

I really feel so bad for Ashley though but her picture was pure LOVE.

Mikey’s cocky and all but he looks awesome in pictures and in motion!

Dustin McNeerAnd Dustin! Damn. Good looking and likable and the only guy I’m seeing could outbest Nyle in the competition.

And the ones I didn’t like at all – Stefano and Bryant. Bryant sounds like a nice guy from his social media accounts but here, he acted too narcissistic and Stefano = JUST NO. He’s got some serious issue (this cycle’s villain perhaps?) Ugh. At least Bryant didn’t make it but Stefano, I am disappointed with him this episode.

And in line with the crazies that is the top model we all love, at the end of the episode – the contestants were asked to jumped in a foamy pool and grab a ball where they will see their names in it if they actually made the cut! Whoops!

It was a short episode but enjoyable nonetheless!!! I’m so looking forward to the next episode!!!!!

[SPOILER] America’s Next Top Model Cycle 22 Contestants!

ANTM Cycle 22

If you think Tyra and company is done with the Top Model show, nuh-uh. America’s Next Top Model returns for Cycle 22 on Wednesday, August 5! Yay! It’s still a mixed competition with boys and girls hopefuls battling it one for the top prize.

ANTM Cycle 22 Cast 1

Guys
Michael Heverly
Stefano Churchill
Nyle Dimarco
Dustin Mcneer
Devin Clark
Justin Kim
Bello Sanchez

14 contestants are rumored to participate this cycle and based on the “unconfirmed” cast – it looks like the guys will be giving the girls a run for their money. They all look incredibly good! As for the girls, I hope the judges will not have an issue with their height because only two girls are above 5 feet and 8 inches in height.

ANTM Cycle 22 Cast 2

Girls
Lacey Rogers
Ava Capra
Mame Adjei
Delanie Dischert
Courtney DuPerow
Ashley Molina
Hadassah Richardson

For now though, based on these “unconfirmed” contestants – I’m liking Dustin, Mame, Ava, Lacey and Michael.

Asia’s Next Top Model Episode 13 – The Finale Runway Show

TOP 3

Live Blogging:

There are only three girls battling for the title of Asia’s Next Top Model as they went back to Singapore for the final runway show – the last hurdle for the girls in determining the first Asia’s Next Top Model. Guest judge for this episode is none other than the creator of Top Model herself, former supermodel Tyra Banks! I wonder whom she’s gonna like the most?

The world's largest aquarium is the setting of the final runway!!!

The runway for the finale is set at the Resort’s World Singapore S.E.A Aquarium which is touted to be the world’s largest aquarium! Whoa!

As for their final challenge, the girls were asked to memorize a script for a Canon commercial. It seemed like too much pressure for the Thai front-runner because she’s been all too quiet with the two girls (Kate and Steph) after last week’s elimination. She mentioned that she’s not at ease in doing commercial stuff. The girl were taken to the CANON headquarters for the commercial. Kate went first but struggled. Jessica was praised by the host who’s at the shoot for delivering better but stated that she was a bit posey. Bottom two queen Stephanie got the nod of Nadya for being so calm in the commercial. Plus points for Stephanie and Jessica ++

As for their final photo shoot, the girls will be doing a shoot for Harper’s Bazaar where they will be heavily featured as part of the winner’s prizes! At the shoot, the girls’ special someone came for a visit – Kate’s brother, Steph’s baby daddy and Jessica’s cute boyfriend! *wink*

Jessica’s breaking down – perhaps feeling too much pressure and feeling that this thing is already within her grasp! Awee.  Kenneth from Harper’s Bazaar clearly loved her! They’re wearing a CHANEL dress and Jessica’s nailing every shot! The other two are just mediocre at best so could this mean that Jessica had this in the bag the entire season? 🙂

The Girls at Final Runway

For the final runway, the girls will be wearing the creations of Singaporean designer Frederick Lee and will walk along America’s Next Top Model Cycle 18,  Sophie Sumner  and the six of the girls eliminated with Tyra Banks watching the show. Tyra was impressed with the three and talked a lot backstage with them.

For the final panel – Kenneth of Harper’s Bazaar, the Storm Models’s agent and Tyra Banks will all be helping in choosing the winner. They preview the girls’ commercial and HB shoot. The judges loved Stephanie’s commercial but not as much as her cover photo for the magazine. Kate’s commercial didn’t impressed the judges plus her catwalk did not get Tyra’s approval. As for Jessica, the judges totally adored her walk, her look and her personality so it’s LOUD and CLEAR and she may actually win the whole thing! The only thing that going against her is her age – at 27, the judges feels that’s it’s a bit late for her to start in the industry. She mentioned that being an orphan no one’s there to support her so she started modeling at around 19. Awwee 😦

and the obvious winner folks is JESSICA! No runner-up was announced! Congrats Jessica!

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 15: Are the girls Vogue-worthy?

The fifteenth cycle of the hit show America’s Next Top Model seemed to be a very promising one as the winner would land a cover at the Italian Vogue. Yes, you heard it right; the winner will grace the fashion bible and one of the best Vogue publications ever. After years of having the winner get a spread for Seventeen magazine, this cycle’s winner would have a very good start making name for herself in the fashion industry.

According to early reports, the minimum height of the girls for this cycle is 5’9″. The only question is, are the chosen girls for this cycle really worth the cover of Vogue?

the show will be back on September 8 at CW. 8PM.

Them Cycle 14 Girls: America’s Next Top Model’s Netwalk

I thought Tyra will be putting 14 girls for her hit show’s 14th cycle but she decided to pick 13 girls to compete for the Top Model’s title and finish their catwalk / netwalk in New Zealand which is the international destination for this cycle.Netwalk will be this cycle’s theme –it is the Tyra’s version of Myspace / Facebook.
