America’s Next Top Model Review: I’m Number One!

It was go-sees week on this episode of America’s Next Top Model and the competition got a little dicier when the models were made to hustle just a little bit harder than they have been. Being the talent and posing for world renowned photographers and designers is easy. Running around town and booking your own gigs is the hard part and that’s what the go-sees process was all about.

Tyra kicked off the show with a huge announcement: the remaining five girls at the end of the episode would be packing it up and heading to Morocco. So now that the stakes were a little higher, it became every model for herself. Basically, the go-see challenge involves the models scrambling around town and meeting designers in hopes of being booked for shoots. Tyra helped the remaining six get their modeling portfolios together and sent them out into Los Angeles with good old fashioned roadmaps as their guides. In today’s world of GPS and Google, there isn’t too much room for paper roadmaps that unfold to the size of a small tent anymore.  Also, the fact that many of the girls seemed to be directionally challenged only added to the mayhem of making it to each go-see. Molly, who is now my confirmed favorite in this competition, was completely frazzled throughout the challenge but at least she made it to the majority of her appointments. Alexandria, on the other hand, was absolutely loving the fact that she’s from the L.A. area and had no problem finding her way around. Everything has been coming up roses for this girl despite her rocky start. Not only did she make it to four of her five go-sees, she later won the Lana Marks designer handbag campaign challenge which she is now the face of. Alex may be all drama in the house but she knows what she wants and destroys the competition like some sort of modelzilla stomping through a village of lesser models. She’s getting ahead and I guess I can’t hate her for that.

For the final challenge, the ladies got to model some eco-friendly couture designed by Michael Cinco in one of the loveliest settings they’ve been in so far: the Olinda Landfill. Talk about a dump. While the girls posed in recycled garments made of leftover rubbish, they tried to keep their perfect poses while avoid getting defecated on by flocks of seagulls. Morocco is looking even better than before at this point, I’m sure.

Deliberation time seemed to level the playing field a little. Every girl had some sort of struggle throughout the episode whether it was that they didn’t make it to enough go-sees, they didn’t get good feedback from the designers or they had some sort of attitude going on. All except, once again, Alexandria, who just happened to be wearing a Chanel “No. 1” tank top as if to say she was indeed the alpha-model. I guess she was right because she booked all 4 of her go-sees, had the best photo of the day and would definitely be going to Morocco. Talk about being in it to win it! Molly got a lot of flak this episode with some of her on-set complaining and who could blame her- it was a nasty landfill. This put her in the bottom two with Jaclyn. I’m completely used to this Tyra-tactic of trying to teach the girls “lessons” by scaring them straight and putting them in the bottom two. I mean, I guess it kind of worked on Alexandria who is now a total powerhouse. Let’s be real though, Molly is leading in the competition and Tyra is no fool. Unfortunately, sweetie pie Jaclyn won’t be catching the next flight to Morocco.
