Official ANTM Cycle 10, New York thread, no spoilers please (recap of 4/16 show Pg.9)

Since I am a little bit obsessed with rewinding something that I see, I did just that with Anya's shoot. Even though there were crotchola shots, she was actually wearing skin toned panties.

That being said, I am losing love for Claire - she sits a little too high up on that horse. Whitney - your poop stinks just like the rest of ours Dominatrix - the world doesn't evolved around you either!

Looking for Fatima to pull out in the lead shortly (with Kat not too far behind)

So I just get this email from Abercrombie and Fitch:

And all I can think is, "Did this dude take the 'Tyra Banks 101 Course of Pain Posing'?"

 

[CheshireVal]

I really think it's the editing. They are wanting to create drama for the viewers.

This is true, which is why I'm not sure I dislike Dominique as much as we're supposed to.

I'm with you on this one.

What was up with Anya's prize with Nigel? It looked more like a Playboy spread than a High Fashion pictorial.

I know!!! That's exactly what I was thinking the whole time.

No kidding! And I could have sworn we caught a glimpse of her, um, crotchular area, at one point and it wasn't blurred enough.

Kind of boring episode. I don't think anyone did a really smash-up job. Can Whitney take a picture with her mouth closed just once? I can't help but think "Neanderthal mouth-breather" everytime she has her gob open in the photos.

I hope Kat rocks the haircut (and isn't booted right after getting it).

That's what I thought at first! But it was skin colored underwear, like someone already mentioned.

I agree with you about Whitney..I hate how she thinks she's SO sexy. I don't find her attractive at all.

"Oh, my head!"

Finally watched it last night. Claire must have been steaming inside when they were telling her she should have smiled as the CW singer, since she HAD smiled in so many frames!

I actually didn't think Dominique's shot was good-her head seemed disjointed from her body.

We never hear a word from Katerzyna....Do you think she is (wisely) holed up in her room while all the arguments are going on? Or do you think it is due to editing and that pretty soon they'll focus on her?

 

[JodyLynC]

Wow! Nobody has posted since last night's show. My girl Claire is gone. Although I do admit that I did not like her cattiness last week.

I don't know who I want to be on top now.

 

[TurboKitty]

Hmm okay last night...

Lauren gets mad and all punk rock at Fatima and some coffee. Bizarrely edited because the way they showed it, Lauren kinda flipped out for no reason.

Go sees - why Anya (who lives in Hawaii, remember) insisted on holding and using the mapping phone when Lauren is a New Yorker, was strange. Team two did seem rather subdued. I really liked the designers/stylists giving a small critique of each girl to the camera. That seemed much more helpful than just making decisions without commentary. (Maybe they needed to fill some time, but I liked it.) Claire did come across a little strong, Lauren seemed uncomfortable. ??Usually they show more of the winning photoshoot, don't they?

Photo shoot - Katarzyna looks so much better with her hair cut. I was sceptical at first, but as Paulina said, she lost that weird Russian pornstar look (okay so I prarphrased... ) .The shoot itself was very different, though some of the pictires were wonderful.

I knew two of my personal favorites would be in the bottom two (and they were). I was surprised though, as I thought the one who stayed would be gone this week. I suppose the one who did ultimately leave, last week's performance may have been held against her...you cannot be in the bottom two for two weeks in a row, girls.

Side note, I do try not to actually name the ousted girl in my weekly recaps, so anyone who may have wandered in, or missed the Wed. showing won't know right away. Is this annoying? Should I just recap the episodes, complete with the names of the booted models?

I think it's okay the morning after. I don't know why anyone would click on this thread knowing they've missed the show and have the nerve to get mad at the name being listed!

I'll go ahead and say it: I'm glad Claire is gone. She was so smug and annoying. Though, to be fair, I think she has more potential as a model than Lauren.

I agree.

Although I noticed during the go-sees that Claire and Dominique were walking and talking together like nothing ever happened and nothing was wrong. Dominique mentioned Whitney several times but never Claire. I wonder if that whole thing was edited to look bigger than it was or did I miss something?

 

[DorkyDisneyMom]

Turbo,

I missed it last night so I would appreciate a full recap with names. I don't see why people would be mad the day after. I guess we will find out.

Claire got kicked off? Wow! I am suprised by that. Lauren seems so much more uncomfortable in her skin.

What kind of shoot was it?

 

[TurboKitty]

The shoot was based on an off Broadway play, about using your body to create art.

Basically the girls were on top of a big sheet of clear mylar, facedown in a 4 inch puddle of water. They needed to create movement in the water and look graceful. I don't think it was an easy thing to do. The mylar was suspended 20 or so feet above the cameraman and Jay (with a bullhorn, shouting suggestions and direction). Claire, Lauren and Stacy-Ann really struggled with it. (Stacy-Ann was totally safe as on the look sees, she was "booked" most often and declared the challenge winner.) The girls were told not to dive onto the mylar (because hey, it's not a trampoline) but Claire did anyway. She needed time to regain her composure after the impact hurt, and tooks some time before beginning her actual shoot, then she complained of neck pain afterward at the judges panel.

Yes, Claire left last night, after the judges thought she was rather "one note" with her look.

 

[JodyLynC]

I think editing has alot to do with it. Claire and Dominique seemed fine in last night's episode. Obviously they made up, but viewers were treated to the bizarre Lauren/Fatima blow out instead. Dominique also hugged Claire when Claire left and it seemed genuine so who knows the whole story beyond the drama.

I actually like Dominique. I'm hoping she goes most of the way.

 

[CheshireVal]

I don't mind Dominque's personality, but I just don't like her as a model. She looks so old and almost haggard to me.

I didn't like Dominique at first but she's starting to grow on me. I think she's the girl (there's one every season) who will eventually become too old looking.

I don't understand why Lauren is still around. I get that she takes good pictures but with that walk and her presentation at judging coupled with the weird blow-up this week, she'll never get booked. Anyone else on any other season would've called on that by now, but she seems to get by. Sometimes I think she's going to win.

 

[beattyfamily]

I only like Katarzyna, Anya and Whitney (although her personality can be annoying and I much preferred her with black hair!).

I don't really like anyone else.

 

[missypie]

I reallly thought that Claire would be in the top three and probably win. Last night's photo shoot was impossibly difficult-like one of them said, it was like lying down in a puddle-who has ever of how they would look in a puddle, when viewed from beneath. I think the good shots were good luck and the bad shots were bad luck.

They never talk to Katerzyna or Stacy Ann. Then Tyra says she doesn't feel like we know Kat. None of us do. Stacy Ann seems sl bubbly-I guess the two of them just stay out of the drama.

Dominique still looks to me like she's in her 30s.

I've over Lauren. Great face, but bad temper and profane.

 

[freckles and boo]

Dominique is Jade-Lite. She does all the bragging without as much lunacy. "Look at me. I am so great. They are all jealous of me. I know I will win this". Yet she really does look older than the rest of the girls. The fact that she looks older doesn't bother me but the judges will grow to hate it.

Claire was trying to hard to be cool when she got hurt. I think she was beautiful but snotty.

I couldn't believe Lauren's tirade. I wonder what is up with that... She will never win because Cover Girl won't have her representing them after the profanity-fest.

I think Katarzyna is a sleeper, along with Anya. But for the first time in the entire history of the series a plus-sized woman has the talent and looks to win it and I think she will. This thing is definitely rigged with regard to the winners' ethinicities, so it is within reason that Whitney could do it.

 

[babieemelly]

I was SO excited for see Fuerza Bruta last night! We're going to see it this summer and I'm beyond excited. We saw the original De La Guarda show a few years ago and it was amazing. If any of you get the chance to see any of the De La Guarda shows, see them!

I'm so surprised, and upset, that Claire went home I didn't think last week's photo shoot was as bad as the judges thought so she had one off week this week and she was sent packing. I thought she was the best one there and had the most potential. They're always talking about needing "high fashion" and she was definitely the most high fashion Now I've got to root for Lauren, she's representing the best borough Although that girl CAN NOT walk! I also like Katarzyna and I loved her new look.

I really can't stand Dominique. I still think she looks like a 38-year old soccer mom and I couldn't stop noticing her missing tooth last night. It just looked really... not good
