fourteen petites filles (or model-wannabe's)

It’s time for the premiere of the “shortest” cycle of America’s Next Top Model!!


The season started off with 32 model would-be’s, all under 5’7”. Normally, these girls would be lucky to make it on a regular cycle of ANTM but this season is all about them.

Some of these girls have major Napolean complexes! Bianca from South Carolina is definitely one of them…but her bald head à la Nnenna is really rocking. Sundai acts way too crazy and her personal story of her bad life definitely explains her apparent need for attention. Amber is incredibly annoying and her overbearing Christian background does not help that at all. Nicole from Colorado thinks she is just way too good for everybody else and she needs a reality check, for sure!

The girls got their first shock of the cycle as only 20 of them had clothes hanging in their garments bags, which would allow them to compete in a runway show. For those twenty girls that made it to the runway show, they each had to d their own hair and make-up then walk down the runway and strike 4 poses to be captured in photos.

Okay…why is Tyra deciding that she needs to continuously speak in a horrible French accent?! She needs to stop that right now!

So, here are your Top 14 “models”, America: Jennifer, Erin, Rachel, Kara, Lulu, Rae, Ashley, Brittany, Bianca, Courtney, Nicole, Amber, Laura, and Sundai.


Now that we have out Top 14, let’s get down to the first challenge and photo shoot! The girls noticed that Amber wasn’t with them in LA. “Lucky” Lisa took Amber’s place. Rather than waiting for Week 3, the girls got their Ty-overs this week. So, what is a Ty-over, you might ask? Why it’s a Tyra makeover, of course! Haha. I’m glad that Tyra skipped the major dramatics she usually does with the makeovers and I was loving her use of Paint when she described their new makeovers! Oh, Tyra!

After their makeovers and moving into their new house, the girls got their first photo shoot! The theme for this shoot was a recreation of their baby pictures. It was definitely interesting to see how people reinvented their photos and used some creativity.

Ugh, stupid Bianca needs to complain about everything! First she freaked out about the fact that her only makeover was beaching her eyebrows. Um you have no hair! What can they do?! Then she freaks out about her make-up and wardrobe at the photo shoot. Diva!

Okay, and what is Tyra thinking with her TyraMail?! Why is it in a mini-treasure chest with a skull and cross bones on the top?! You crazy, Tyra!

For judging panel, there are only 3 permanent judges now after Paulina was booted. So each week, a guest judge will join Tyra, Miss J, and Nigel. This week, it happened to be up and coming model Chanel Iman.

This week’s winning photo belonged to Rae! I have to agree because this photo was fantastic. Bianca’s diva-tude was saved by Lisa’s lackluster personality. So, lesson to be learned, ladies: if you’re a diva, at least your personality will save you!
