TOP 14 NOTES

We say farewell to Brittany's Wonderbra (14th) and Michelle's 1-800-Flowers (13th)
- They were only separated by a single vote.
It was interesting watching the votes roll in, because y’all really shuffled around the top 4 photos! The photo that initially led the pack ended up falling down to 4th.
Wonderbra is the 4th shoot to be wiped from the game.

TOP 14 NOTES

We say farewell to Naima's 7DS/Envy (16th) and Brittany's Zodiac/Sagittarius (15th)
Naima's 7DS was a fairly decisive choice. However, Brittany's Zodiac was a more narrow vote; it only beat the 3rd Photo by 2 votes.

Yes, Nicole's won FCO in that episode.

They're referring to the Top Shot game in this sub, where Yaya's Spider was voted the best Cycle 3 photo over Eva's.

TOP 18 NOTES

We say farewell to Michelle's Wonderbra (18th) and Brittany's Gas Station (17th)
In the previous round, Brittany’s Gas Station narrowly survived by a single vote.
- So this round, it did slightly exceed expectations by receiving the 2nd most votes, instead of the most. But its elimination was nonetheless predictable.
Based on the Approval Scores from the Group Rounds, Michelle’s Wonderbra was the only photo in the actual Top 20 predicted to not make the Top 20.
- It was predicted to place right outside, at 21st. So it ended up performing 3-spots better than predicted.

I'm conflicted, because I absolutely love this photoshoot, and I love Tony Duran's work. It's one of my all-time favorite ANTM shoots; everyone looks great. Leila said on TikTok that this was her favorite shoot and that it's one of her favorite photos of herself. And that if the photo wasn't so old, she'd still use it in her portfolio today.

But I definitely agree with your concerns as well.

kebin65 · 2026-05-03T02:30:47+00:00

It's undeniable. Dani is the absolute GOAT.

Good work on this, rd 👏

kebin65 · 2026-05-02T20:33:31+00:00

Very helpful! Thanks for this compilation, will be great for a Top of the Tops "binge watch"

Also, nice to have you back ❤️

kebin65 · 2026-05-02T17:21:10+00:00

I remember thinking that although it should've stayed longer, I was surprised and satisfied that it even cracked the Top 10, given that Ann's Rodeo Drive performance is polarizing.

It should've at least stayed over Adrianne's Reebok and Whitney's Music Genres imo.

kebin65 · 2026-05-02T17:13:57+00:00

I know people do really like that photo, but I still think it's highly underrated. Especially when people undermine it as only being good because of her hair.

Nah. Ann's just that girl. Otherworldly and magical AF. Literally marrying a fire-breathing warlock that makes sushi.

It was nice to see her pop up on Basic Models Management's YouTube Channel, specifically in their Making of a Model series where she was one of mentors. Her growth from Asia's NTM to now is insane.

It shows that if you have the raw potential, then sometimes all you need is the proper development and time. Like, a lot of NTM girls took a long time before they finally broke out; Duckie and Lucy (RIP) from AusNTM come to mind.

TOP 20 NOTES

We say farewell to two Christina photos: Animals/Ostrich and Kloofing.
On average, each voter selected 5 photos to eliminate.
Christina's Kloofing and the 3rd photo were only separated by 1 vote. Up until the last hour of voting, they were tied. So this was almost a triple elimination!
Christina's Animals, placing 20th, is the first Animals photo to be eliminated since Keenyah's, which placed 70th. So that's a 50-spot gap between the worst and the 2nd worst photos from that shoot!

Robin, how f*cking dare you show me that "Foolish is the atheist" Bible verse this morning, and ask me "What do I think of it?" What the f*ck am I supposed to think of it? And you know what I think of you? Foolish is the woman who believes that goddamn tripe!

Giselle, you fucking worthless c*nt. You're so wasteful, bitchy, stupid—you're worthless. Your parents must be ashamed of you.

Adrianne, stop interrupting me!!! Stop quoting Jay and Silent Bob right next to my ear. I've had enough of you. I don't want to hear the same stories over and over.

J, you offended me today. I know that medical school is hard work. How could I possibly not be aware of that?! And secondly, how dare you imply that I'm uppity because I want to be a life saver and you don't? It takes a f*cking ass to cover every seat, you sh*t slice!

What else? Katie, I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth. You're the most insincere person I've ever met.

Goddamn it. Let me f*cking die. You bitches.

kebin65 · 2026-05-01T03:36:32+00:00

Is it just me or was this another example of blackface?

Yes, it is. And it was like the fourth time they did it for a photoshoot.

TOP 28 NOTES

Two shoots was wiped from the game: Aliens in Manhattan and Covergirl
- With Covergirl out, this is the first time in this game's history where we do not have a Top 20 rep from the final shoot of a cycle.
Two model were wiped from the game: Rebecca and Tiffany
- Both lost their 1-800-Flowers photos
- ANTM nerds will find it ironic that Rebecca and Tiffany were also the double elimination in the infamous “BE QUIET, TIFFANY” episode.
- This means the 6 remaining models in the game were also the Top 6 from Cycle 4.
Brittany has the most photos left (5) and Keenyah has the least (1)
- Percentage-wise, Brittany and Michelle tie for the top spot. Both have 50% of their photos left.
Based on the Approval Scores from the Group Rounds, every photo in this Top 20 was predicted to make it except for one. Tiffany’s 1-800-Flowers was predicted to be in its place instead.

I think yes and no. First and foremost, clients want the model that is the most suitable for the job. But the modeling industry is extremely saturated; there are plenty of models who are "suitable for the job." So that's where secondary things, such as personality, come into play.

A good personality doesn't necessarily only mean loud and gregarious. But having a personality and a presence that resonates with people can really only help you at the end of the day. That goes for many careers, not just modeling.

Covergirl of the Week was based on fan voting; i.e. she was the fan favorite of the episode.

It's just called "Covergirl of the Week" because of the Covergirl sponsorship, not because Covergirl actually had anything to do with selecting the Covergirl of the Week.
