“America’s Next Top Model”: first girl sent home

This cycle’s second episode of “Top Model” was all about ‘going green’ and making a statement–not just about fashion. The girls had to pose in a controversial first photo shoot to campaign against smoking. The girls’ first shot was a glamorous photo of them smoking, but their reflection in the mirror showed the horrible effects of their smoking. Most took the shoot seriously and tapped into their emotions really well to create a tragic look. Although Mila still produced a good tragic photo, she couldn’t take the shoot seriously because of the crazy hair style she had to wear , which sadly, is reminiscent of what it could be like to lose your hair after chemotherapy.

This is a very serious issue and Tyra really wanted to make a statement to young girls who watch the show–she even banned smoking for the rest of the series.

The aspiring models were also taken to Old Navy where they had just 10 minutes to pick out a basic model outfit that would impress the judges. Before they left, though, Ms. J. Alexander made a point of explaining to them that their style should be just a few basic items–simple dress, simple skirt, or fitted jeans and a T-shirt. Most of the girls did not do so well with their outfit selection, only Saleisha, Ebony, Victoria, Bianca (except for her purple hair), and Kimberly were dressed well in simple model basics. Saleisha was the overall winner for both her outfit and photo shoot, and won a $1,000 Old Navy shopping spree, and the opportunity to pose in an Old Navy ad.

I was pretty surprised that Ebony was the last girl picked to stay on the show, the judges said they loved her outfit, and just that her legs were positioned a bit awkwardly in the photo, but her tragic shot looked great. I wasn’t a bit surprised, however, that Bianca wasn’t one of the last two remaining. She didn’t do that well in the photo shoot–they said she looked too posed and needed more life in her eyes, but they needed to keep her on the show to keep the conflict going. I feel so bad for Lisa, she’s had a really hard life and is just trying to make it better, but Bianca has it out with her and tells her to leave, does she really think they’ll pick an exotic dancer to be a role model? It also came out that Heather has Asberger’s Syndrome, a lesser form of autism, and she doesn’t seem to fit in with the girls. But she takes beautiful pictures, I just hope she can overcome her social anxiety. I’m not sure, yet who my pick for Top Model is, who do you think will win?

    At this point I don’t have a pick on who’ll win but I do love Lisa, Heather and Victoria. I think they’re the most beautiful of the bunch. Lisa’s got amazing grace because she’s a dancer; Heather’s pale skin and dark, dark hair is so dramatic and stunning; Victoria’s got a classic beauty AND she’s got brains!

  2. Andrea says:

    I agree, I really like Heather and I think it’s a new low for the girls in the house to be gossiping and making fun of someone with a handicap like that.

  3. Jessie says:

    Absolutely! And the poor thing is standing right there, too!

  4. Jackie says:

    I feel bad for Heather, too. You’d think they’d be a little more understanding… I really like Lisa, though, too. I hate how Bianca’s mean to her!
