cycle 10
America’s Next Top Model is back and cranking through the episodes, are you ready for tonight’s? Well here’s where we’re at.
We started with thirty at the premiere and threw a top fourteen into the house. Apparently Tyra just couldn’t decide amongst such talented gals. I have to admit that other than a few amusing moments in the initial episode I sort of tuned out until the final gals were picked. And then I tuned out a little more.
Then with fourteen gals to choose from, one might think that the first elimination would be difficult. But easing that concern was our dumb blond Kimberly who like totally likes to model but so totally doesn’t believe in the fashion industry and really expensive clothes, which of course she shared with the panel. And when Tyra asked her if she wanted to leave, she did. Now there is nothing that pisses off the panel more than some loser who steals away a spot from some girl who ‘really wanted it’.
But the eliminations didn’t stop there… They were able to judge performances in the Badgley Mischa Time’s Square fashion show. 
Then a photo shoot where they were bringing light to homeless women’s issues (you know in the way a model does) by posing looking homeless, as a few homeless gals dressed more couture. Could they stand out? Awkward Amis was saved and they let go Atalya who just couldn’t put it together.
And then when the makeover episode came, always good for some tears, but there were no real freak outs this year. The gals did their own makeup for a challenge and low key, fresh makeup Claire won. 
And then on to a lingerie shoot with Elle McPherson’s new line, and Elle herself. The gals didn’t all bring it, but who should go? The girl with the most experience, Allison (who seemed stiff and over posed), or Dominique? With a quote like ‘I kicked ass at my photo shoot, I’m not going home,’ one would think Allison would be too obvious as the eliminated, but no, we said goodbye.
So far I still don’t really have any favorites. I will keep my eye on weird Amis, or Claire, or totally awkward Lauren, or this year’s plus size gal Whitney. And as always, they may not be modelicious right off the bat but they sure can be annoying. As for rulings on Paulina, the new judge on the panel, so far she’s better than boring Twiggy, but she’s no Janice. But then again who is?

Speaking of makeovers, one of the girls on the new Pussycat Dolls Girlicious show hated her new haircut so much she basically had a melt down (saying the color was too orange it made her look like a “white girl” — she’s Latina) and almost got eliminated.

I think that girl is a prejudice piece of trash. If some white girl whined “my makeover makes me look like a latina” people would have called her out.
not only is that girl ugly on the outside, worse is that she’s an ugly racist on the inside,
