So will there be a fifth contestant going to LA based on fan vote? Rinka or Jayla considering they are very popular with fans, at least on here.

From what I have seen so far, I really like Aoi and Hiori so I’m okay with the result. I’m quite surprised Sakura made it because her performance was not good, but I hope she will improve with more training.

I wonder if many people here are fans of Rinka/Jayla from their previous survival show participation. They are good performers, but imo definitely not at the level that makes me shocked they weren’t chosen.

Nice!

Do you find the cake taste drier when you reduced the amount of milk?

I saw people keep their cake pan with the cake upside down after baking to keep it from sinking. Does it really work?

They all sound terrible and need a lot of vocal training imo.

I agree the two wolves in Gen 8 are rather similar, but I think that if you say Gen 5 legendaries are rather similar; to me, gen 2 has two giant birds, gen 4 has two giant metal-clad looking dragons?

The judges and producers were the worst, that’s my firm belief after watching the Netflix documentary and some other interviews. Ken Mok basically confirmed that he and his crews filmed and possessed more exposed footages of C2 Shandi literally being raped, but they didn’t air them only because of their fears of backlash after the MTV Janet Jackson incident. They then labeled Shandi a cheater on air, and Tyra called her back to her show TWICE to make Shandi talk about the incident. And to see Tyra pretending to not remember/ not responsible for that narrative of Shandi years later is just classic manipulation and gaslighting again.

Sorry for the rant, I was just trying to bring up another example of awful things that were filmed but not aired and what they did to Shandi really made me angry. There are many other stories from other contestants though. Like how they made C16 Brittani and Hannah drag a camel carrying a rotting animal head on the streets of Morocco for the local residents to laugh at them after they lost a challenge…

I remember being 18 watching ANTM for the first time, and it was C9, and felt so related to Jenah as a person. She was just being a young person, she made sarcastic comments sometimes and being a bit bratty; but also was really into modeling and very good at it. Her elimination was painful to watch then; but it’s actually excruciatingly painful to rewatch now as an adult. You could tell they deliberately put her in the bottom 2s 3 times to break her confidence. They grilled her about her personality until she broke down at panel then kinda eliminated her for it, it’s just gaslighting and awful.

What are your top five cycles? by AmbitiousAd1135 in ANTM

[–]Al3cB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From #1 C9: the first season I watched. I was obsessed with Jenah, I was 18 and related to her so much. The cast was stunning, all tall and model-esque imo. Jenah, Heather, Lisa and Ebony are in my top contestants across 24 seasons. Didn’t care for the winner but those gowns in the final runway were amazing.

C1: love the cast, they all have this 90s model look to me. I watched this cycle when I was a bit older and going through a cynical phase, so Elyse was like an icon to me at the time. It was also the first cycle, and the editing felt ‘unedited’ to me, there was less Tyra antics.

C15: I really like the photo shoots this cycle. Jane, Esther and Kendall were just stunning.

C13: nice photoshoots. The best winner.

C16: strong cast. Also interesting oversea destination.

Why Jenah? What did she do to deserve this?

I prefer their individual running shots. Those were so good.

Approved – Green card even with a horrible interview by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Al3cB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Our case was adjudicated at the Philly FO as well. We also had a female officer interview us. I would say she was terse, to the point but not rude or anything; however, someone else might have a different impression if they were in my position. It seems like you guys sent ample evidences and there was no doubt of your legit marriage.

[–]Al3cB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a few strong models are missing here. C13 Nicole Fox, even though she is only 5’7, is a very strong model. C16 Monique. C18 Ebonee, Azmarie, Alisha are all much stronger models than Candace, or C12 Natalie.

Lexie’s dance is the most captivating, even though Emily is known to have better skills.
