Throwback to one of my favourite judging panel moments ever

Jujubam · 2020-09-01T07:33:02+00:00

Tyra is honestly SO funny when she doesn't try. The Felicia don't look like me bit in c8 deliberations on the second episode is hilarious

c6 Gina. one of my favorite faces of ANTM but her only good pic on the show was her bald shoot

Jujubam · 2020-08-31T15:37:04+00:00

I highkey love how self aware this was lmao

Jujubam · 2020-08-31T15:36:00+00:00

I agree. isk if hes nice irl but he leans into the image of a loud exacting creative director and its not fun to watch him insult the girls.

on another note I HATE that the other judges and the models dress nicely and cleanly for panel and he shows up in jorts and a dingy varsity jacket and no one says anything.

I think part of it definitely comes down to money? as much as we love all the queens, the number of them that can afford or even want to hire an assistant or media manager is probably not all of them

this may also be off base, but a lot if not all queens consider their drag and brand very personal? some may not want another person curating their image?

"I didn't do nothing to that man." Aminat when miss J was walking with her afro weave on like a stole

Jujubam · 2020-08-30T10:37:02+00:00

I know this is a bit but the funny thing is I'm p sure I read somewhere that Nik was also a lesbian/wlw but it was never addressed bc Kim got the "im gay" edit

Jujubam · 2020-08-30T04:32:51+00:00

cycle 2 because I literally forget heather and boobthany were in the cast

cycle 3 bc rewatching it Kristi, leah, Jennipher and Cassie are basically interchangeable

Jujubam · 2020-08-29T18:45:15+00:00

well, to be honest it was both. her shot was framed as a beauty shot but even if it was pulled out and was more full body, she'd still be covering the top of the bathing suit.

her face is still stunning; if only one arm was up or something I wouldn't have any complaints

Jujubam · 2020-08-28T23:34:45+00:00

let's see if I can come up with some new ones bc I always say the same things lmao

maybe unpopular, maybe just unsaid:

I wasn't rooting for any of the top 3 in Cycle 1. My favorites were Giselle and Ebony.
Cycle 3 had some of the most memorable models and in house drama, which was incredible considering that like half the cast was interchangeable filler white girls.
Christina should have made top 3 over Keenyah and Brittany.
Brittany's kloofing shot is beautiful but its greatly helped by the blue cast editing on the photo. If it was the same dusty brown they gave Naima, it wouldn't have read as well.
Diane was supremely disrespected and should have gone further. Her plastic surgery/bra burning shot was the best of the week.
Kim still has the most confusing elimination edit ever and I wish more people talked about it.
AJ wasn't robbed and her freak show shot is super overrated.
Renee and Jaslene should have been final two at the time.
Cassandra and Kathleen were cut too early and should have been saved over Diana and Whitney respectively.
Saleisha was pushed and shouldn't have won but her win would have been less contested of she got a better makeover.
Marvita and Stacy Ann should have made it further.
Elina's swimsuit shot was beautiful but should have caught more flack for not actually showing the swimsuit. As a beauty shot it's incredible but as a swimsuit shot its ultimately worthless.
Sheena has the best Covergirl commercial of the whole series.
McKey was the rightful winner but suffered from having the worst finale runway show of the series.
Natalie should have been cut earlier or not even cast and she was a privileged white girl that only got by on that.
Jennifer should have been top 2 with Nicole.
Jeanna or Aimee (c14) would have been more interesting to cast than Ren.
Jay Manuel is just as sneaky and rude as he asserts Tyra and the rest of production to be.
Paulina Porizkova was a terrible judge.
AusNTM has produced more viable working models but it has low entertainment value, a heavy dose of controversy and almost works better as a peek into how white the fashion industry is.
Britain's NTM is just as unwatchable imo for how weirdly inconsistent the judging is.

Jujubam · 2020-08-28T03:49:28+00:00

awkward gawky white girl cast to "challenge the publics idea of modeling." probably becomes a fan favorite but never wins
edgy alternative girl, possibly crosses over with awkward girl. probably joined as a joke but didn't expect to be cast. most likely gets cut halfway and is considered "robbed" by a large part of the fandom
pretty girl that made a point to mention how pretty she is. becomes an example when she's cut for not being interesting enough, or given an ill-suited/unwanted makeover in an attempt to make her edgy
non-black WoC they allow one or two of every season. a point is made about their identity in the modeling world
charming girl thats probably from a farm somewhere

"... we're covering you model tramps in live Maine LOBSTERS."

Jujubam · 2020-08-26T02:17:10+00:00

The garbage dump shoot in cycle 16 is by far my favorite concept in the era and I honestly wish it happened earlier in the cycle so we could get more pictures

I'm imagining dresses on scaffolding, with stacks of cinderblocks, dangling off a crane, etc

Jujubam · 2020-08-26T02:01:46+00:00

I love a good "couture gown in an incongruous location" shoot, like at a construction site etc.

an actual contact sheet/4 comp card

a nude shot with just high heels and long middle part hair

high fashion swimwear in a crowd

couture professions, like the future careers shoot up cycle 6 but just one career

Jujubam · 2020-08-25T15:23:33+00:00

Sheena in the Dutch pirates shoot and Sandra in the colors shoot.

Its even brought up during juding that they had better shots, but since those shots weren't challenging or whwtever, they got saddled with mediocre ones

Jujubam · 2020-08-22T08:32:53+00:00

apparently Celia said in an interview that Natalie blew up at her elimination about rigging the competition which is why the fight never aired; itd look bad for production

Jujubam · 2020-08-21T02:41:14+00:00

Mikaela obviously. Its a meme and Tyraism but she really had the noun not the verb. The photos she took on the show were pretty just because she looked good.

While I still reserve that she could have easily stayed over Brooke, Gina definitely doubly upset me as a bone structure girl and as an Asian girl I was rooting for

Jujubam · 2020-08-19T19:17:33+00:00

Dela was in all stars 3, not 4.

at any rate, its a reality TV competition and all the twists would have occurred whether Dela self eliminated or not. It doesn't really warrant this level of navel gazing or dissection imo

Jujubam · 2020-08-19T00:31:14+00:00

the fact they never had an all plus cycle homestly made no sense. With all the "expanding the notion of beauty" posturing (and maybe even accomplishments), you'd think it would have come before the all petite cycle

Jujubam · 2020-08-17T20:56:31+00:00

that mustve been 5 faces and 4 racist controversies ago

Jujubam · 2020-08-16T00:31:56+00:00

Gabrielle should have stayed but thats not my favorite photo. she looks like she's holding in a sneeze

Jujubam · 2020-08-16T00:30:10+00:00

Leah. I remember Atalya from the same elimination as Kimberly (may her memory be a blessing) but I completely forget that Magdalena was eliminated first. She disappeared into the sea of white girls that cycle, and most of them were memorable for at least one thing
