ANTM Cycle 22 Episode 12: "The Pursuit of Happenis"

Hello again! After a week of not airing anything in favor of an awful rerun and then another week for just a clip show, we’re finally back with a new episode of America’s Next Top Model. I don’t know if this three week hiatus was a taste of what post-cancellation is gonna be like, but let me report that a life not thinking about tooching is one I don’t want to live.

On the last episode of Top Model, Reagan was president the models took a “business trip” to Las Vegas. If my distant memories serve me right, Mamé won the challenge that involved jumping into a swimming pool and got to be the spokesperson for Vegas. What a diplomat (‘s daughter)! Afterwards, there was a music video for Tyra’s pyramid scheme. Mikey rose to the top while Dustin slid back to obscurity again. 

When they return to the SLS, Mikey receives a SMS.



The #TyTyTip basically praises Mikey for moving during his photoshoots and encourages him to ask photographers if he can jump around. I love how much progress we’ve made in the modelling industry. Models move on their own, have unique walks, talk back to photographers: soon they may even be able to vote! #ModelCitizens

Not wanting to be selfish, Mikey then proposes his own #Tip to the girls left in the competition. He proposes a “Vegas threesome” to the two pageant girls. Mamé is still grieving over the lost of Justin, but Hadassah has other intentions. At panel, the judges warned her to “let loose”, so Hadassah is really trying to embody a free spirit. I’d say ‘sleeping with Mikey’ definitely qualifies as the pinnacle of the Vegas experience:

Anonymity - What happens in Vegas, gets broadcast on a public television show.

Recommended Locale - Much like Caesars or The Strip, Mikey’s dick has glowing reviews from at least 50 women. Yelp critics weigh in with an average 6.5; 8.0 on a good day.

Gambling - Shake the dice and get public lice! Mikey’s a dirty blonde, and the carpet probably match the drapes. There’s many things you could catch from Mikey, here’s hoping a break is one of them.

Regret - Forgot the mile high club, you’re gonna want to join a nunnery on your flight back home. 

Still, Hadassah is determined to make the most of her trip to Vegas. Thankfully, the models are whisked away before Mikey’s Suite can be put to good use.

Kelly Cutrone greets the models at the Zappos Couture headquarters. For a largely online company, Zappos has a pretty hefty physical presence. Still, that doesn’t change the quality of their products. One of the “quirky” pieces of furniture is a garbage can full of Zappos shoes; I suppose that’s pretty emblematic of the brand as a whole.



Kelly explains that Zappos wants to create a “luxury platform” and they’re currently the sole provider for fashionable family clothing. (WARNING: Just like Kelly’s blatantly scripted lines of praise, the shoe puns don’t stop here.)

Along with the marketing executive, Kelly explains that Zappos’ mission is to “sell happiness.” Unless every stiletto comes with a complimentary bag of ecstasy, I don’t know how realistic that goal is, Zappos!

Nevertheless, Kelly allows the models to roam around the warehouse and engage with the fun aesthetic of Zappos Couture. The models run around and enjoy a Zappos version of entertainment. Jumping into the ball pit, doodling on the walls with oversized crayons, driving smaller community stores out of business, playing with stuffed alligators!

The most naive quote probably comes from Lacey. “It’s crazy to see a billion dollar business can be so happy, it’s like you’re a kid forever.” Oh Lacey, I’m sure factory outsourcing is a riot. I hear on Fridays, they even give out ribbons to the children who don’t bleed on fabric. WAY TO TURN THE PARTY!

But let’s not bash capitalism too much here. They’re here to have fun with a capital F! After their tour of the facilities, the Zappos representatives reveal that the models will be in a salon show.

Before Andre Leon Talley can come busting out of a window, they specify, not a regular salon.



The Zappos women go on to explain: each model will be given a starting outfit that may or may not clash with their personal style. They will put it on and walk around the entire room like a prize dog during best-in-show. The Zappos buyers will then change parts of the costume that they don’t like and that the models won’t be comfortable in. 

And the winner gets...the same ugly clothes they just modelled. Even some of the contestants are confused with the challenge, but it doesn’t matter. AS LONG AS THEY’RE HAVING FUN.

Lacey is the first to go; and she struggles with the Zappos showcase. The women think that she’s not embodying the flirty nature of the clothes and try to give her a new look. Even then, Lacey fails to impress the Zappos buyers.

Before Mikey gets on stage, he flirts with Mamé and Hadassah a little more. The girls are too busy getting ready, so he sulks back to the wardrobe department. I love this shot of Kelly Cutrone brushing his hair like a prized steed.



Either the budget has gone so downhill that Kelly has to do multiple jobs, or she has a thing for Mikey. Haven’t you heard, Kelly? He has room for approximately two women in his Tyra Suite. Better sign up before all the spots are filled!

Mikey is given a really “punk goth” look to sport on the runway. He’s given a black blazer, black skinny jeans, black boots, and some orange socks. I understand that orange is the new black, but it’s a little insensitive for a guy whose whole family is in prison…

Mamé has a very strong look, but the Zappos clients have a very specific mindset. They love her “curves” in the jeans and claim that she has the perfect body for their brand.

Nyle and Devin share the same feedback: they have the right energy walking out onto the runway. Whether it’s the fault of the clothes or not, the guys impress the Zappos clients.

However, of the last four models, only one can be the winner. So, who do the Zappos women pick as their spokesperson?



Oh right…

Mikey isn’t too thrilled about Mamé’s victory. This is her fourth challenge win and he feels threatened by anyone who does better than him. Back in the house, Mamé and Hadassah share a victory bag of Zappos garments before discussing the competition again.

Hadassah confronts Lacey about having the same look in every shoot. She tries to come back at Hadassah, but Lacey quickly realizes that the critique is true. If it’s any consolation, Lacey is as versatile as the photographer choices this season.

The next day, Yu Tsai and Erik Asla introduce the models to this week’s photoshoot: Fierce-a-Grams. The idea is that an edited photo would hide the craziness of a “wild night.” Usually, cropping is reserved for people who blink and unfocused babies, but this week requires it to tell a story.

You say “filter”, I say “filler”; I think we can both agree that this stupid Instagram photoshoot is a waste of time. Nevertheless, the models get to pose with a special guest.



Nene Leakes Miss Jay!

Each model gets a specialized hashtag that they have to incorporate into their photo. Lacey gets to start out with the #responsiblespending prompt. She gets to pose with Mikey and Devin but loses the spotlight. So, they bring in a rooster (talk about solid investments!) Even then, Lacey isn’t the most interesting chick in that photo.

Nyle gets #golfingwiththeguys and Devin has #everythingsundercontrol. Both of the shoots involve hiding chaos, and the guys are able to pose well despite the chaos.

Hadassah has #studyinghard and Mamé gets #missingyou. Both of their shoots are invaded by Mikey, who is more interested in #closingthedeal than actually assisting their photos. Still, Hadassah gets pretty into the shoot. 

Back in the house, it gets even more interesting. “Mikey has been suggesting some weird things,” Hadassah admits about the threesome plea. “And since we’re in Vegas…”


HA! This is why I love Hadassah. She can basically excuse anything as long as it’s done within the Las Vegas city limits.

• “Mikey wants to rob a bank, and since we’re in Vegas…”
• “Mikey wants to go cow tipping, and since we’re in Vegas…”
• ‘Mikey wants to shoot with someone who isn’t Erik Asla, and since we’re in Vegas…”

Devin tries to stop Hadassah from being “too loose” with Mikey and reminds them of Ashley, his girlfriend. Hadassah isn’t too concerned with the ended relationship.

“I know she’s your girlfriend, but she sucks.” Hadassah says, providing the definition of a girlfriend. Mikey is just as nonchalant, but the cuddle sesh ends with the news that they’re leaving Vegas. Damn Top Model budget foils yet another sexual encounter!

Once they’re situated back in LA, the models get the news of their next cut.

Panel

Tyra feels that Lacey lacks energy in her poses, and Kelly agrees. Miss Jay prefers the whole photo instead of the creative crop. Mikey, on the other hand, looks “cool” and is embodying a fashion moment. Tyra thinks it’s the best photo of the week.

The judges agree that Hadassah has a great face but she’s missing the “sexy element.” Likewise, Nyle isn’t giving his 100% and the judges fear that he might start relying on pretty.

Tyra admits that it was difficult to find a soft photo of Devin’s face. Kelly worries that he might become a one-trick pony if he continues to pose so flamboyantly. Mame, however, receives praise for her energy. She matches the hype in the photo yet still remains in control.

Now that the judges have seen all the photos, they will add up the scores. The model with the highest score is…

MAME (35.6)

MIKEY (35.2)

DEVIN (34.6)

NYLE (33.9)

And with a score of 31.0 to 30.2, the model who stays is…

LACEY

Overall, Hadassah is happy to have made it this far into the competition. Sadly, she’ll just have to settle for staring at her dream from a distance.

Next week, the final five will shoot in the woods. I hope no one’s scared of the dark! Until next time...

ANTM cycle 21 episode 12: "From See to Shining Go-See"

We interrupt your normally scheduled recap to bring you this very important public service announcement. It seems that Tyra has taken the advice of a wise young woman and indeed, put some twenty-twos on that bitch. It is with great vigor that I can officially confirm: cycle 22 of America’s Next Top Model has begun casting!

I’m honestly just so excited to celebrate one more year of America’s Next Top Model. This show somehow continues to drag on. It resembles that one family puppy that you had in your youth who was so lifeless and full of energy. Now, it smells weird, it’s vision is bad, it sometimes pees on your carpet (how Lisa of them!), but you just let it live out it’s last hours: celebrating every day it manages to crawl out of bed. 

So, if you want to go and teach this old dog some new tricks, be sure to apply for cycle 22. You’ll join the illustrious ranks of top models like...oh...Well, your quirky habits will become a Top Model drinking game and honestly, this show always goes better with w(h)ine.

A Grog Is A Man’s Best Friend

On a very special episode of America’s Next Top Model, the models travelled to Seoul, Korea and took on a new dance craze. Raelia was born to beat, and danced away with the prize. During an advertisement shoot for MCM handbags, Keith toted the top spot. Even though Chantelle had trouble clutching the concept of the shoot, it was Raelia who pursed her lips: being the first model eliminated overseas. Now, only six models remain. Who will be eliminated tonight?

When the models return to the house, Keith’s photo is seen being digitally displayed. Keith and Adam laments his behavior during the last panel and Adam promises he will not drink before any more major events again. Adam confides in Keith, telling him that he used be a “total math nerd” (break those stereotypes, Adam!) The reason why Adam turns to partying is to “get loose” once in a while.

On the other side of the house, loose lips are sinking Chantelle’s ships. She overhears the other models complaining that Raelia should have stayed over her, and moves forward. “If I don’t make friends, that’s A-OK as well, because I’m not here for that,” Chantelle claims. “I’m not scared of not having friends, I’m scared that I will beat a bitch down.”

Whoa, there Chantelle. Don’t pull a Romeo and headbutt these models. But then again, she’s being a butthead to Lenox, whose only trying to enlighten her on the way she’s being portrayed.

Make Me Up Before You Go-See

The next day, the models are greeted by Kelly Cutrone and a K-Pop star named Jay Park at the MCM Flagship store. She alerts them that they will have four hours to visit five clients in South Korea. They must travel in pairs in order to minimize confusion, and return to the Flagship Store before time runs out, or risk disqualification.

Considering the collective brainpower of these models (bar Adam of course), I’m scared that they might inadvertently wander into the 38th Parallel…

Well, their model careers are blowing up either way…

Adam and Lenox team up to tackle the Korean fashion market. Will quickly clutches onto Shei, leaving Keith to pair with Chantelle. Everyone is annoyed by her attitude, so Keith attempts to befriend Chantelle.

Adam has a gameplan for hitting as many go-sees as possible. He and Lenox agree to travel to the farthest one and then work their way down. “I’m a genius,” Adam declares. When the duo arrives to their first client (Resurrection), they find out that Will/Shei and Keith/Chantelle have already arrived. Considering the only map-reading Keith does involves hastily-drawn Xs and Os, I’m not surprised that the football player outwitted these four other models.

The clients at Resurrection consider Chantelle a little “too extreme” for the soft brand they’re trying to embody. Shei is also struck with the “edgy” curse and fails to book that show. 

The Goldilocks at Resurrection lament that Will is “too tall” for their clothes while Adam is “too short”. Keith, however, fits the brand perfectly and “wears the clothes” nicely. Apparently, Korean pants are built to support a third leg…

After booking Resurrection, Lenox goes to Jinny Kim. She is impressed by Lenox’s photos, and is taken aback after speaking to Lenox. Jinny is convinced that, with her determination and passion for the business, Lenox can have a career in the Korean market. 

Heart and Seoul

On the heels of Lenox’s casting, Keith and Shei also embody the sole of Jinny’s collection. But not everyone is cut out for this line of work. Chantelle, Adam, and Will are booted from this go-see because they don’t represent Jinny’s clientele.

By the time they reach The Studio K, Chantelle is nervous because she hasn’t booked any shows like Keith has. Upon meeting the clients, Keith turns up the charm, allowing the designers to lighten up. The workers at The Studio K love Keith’s personality and, by extension, Chantelle. They agree to book both of the models, much to Chantelle’s pleasure. On the way back, she questions the decision but then just settles for excitement. That’s right Chantelle, don’t look a gift manaconda in the mouth…

Lenox and Shei find similar success at Mag & Logan. At the final go-see (Johnny Hates Jazz), Will and Adam feel Johnny’s famous ire. Having hit all the go-sees they can, the six models decide to return to the Flagship.

After some consultation with Kelly Cutrone, the models are given their results:

Will (0/4)

Adam (1/4)

Chantelle (1/5)

Shei (2/4)

Lenox (4/4)

Keith (4/5)

Even though he’s excited for Keith, Adam is disheartened that he didn’t do better. While Chantelle is alone in the house sobbing about her predicament (is her county having war?), Keith decides to talk to have a bro talk with Adam about the recent challenge.

Keith mentions that Adam was very tense during the go-sees and fears that his dependence on alcohol may have to do with that. Keith sits Adam down for an intervention, fearing for his future as the friends they’ve become. Adam admits that he drinks because he’s afraid of failing, and vows that he will cut back to overcome this terror.

Nothing to Beer But Beer Itself…

While Adam struggles with inner demons, Will is having trouble letting it out. Lenox talks to him about the challenge and Kelly’s advice that “personality can help you book a show even if you don’t have the right look.” 

I don’t know what Kelly has been smoking, but designers don’t book models because of zany personalities. As much as I’d love to see the runways of Milan full of clowns and projectile telephones, it’s all about the proportions of your body. Nevertheless, Will doesn’t stress too much about it and instead, pledges to produce more amazing photographs.

Palace in Wonderland

The next day, the models are taken to the Gyeongbokgung Palace (which allegedly means ‘Blessed by Heaven’.) I’m not so sure about this place being spiritual, but Tyra decides to grace these models with her presence on set. After she heard that Erik Asla is the photographer of this Palace shoot, Tyra became very eager to get on her knees and prey…

Backstage, Adam struggles with his newly sober lifestyle. His intervention (divine or otherwise) helps him on set: Adam is able to connect with the female model and makes interesting shapes. Shei also creates chemistry during the shoot, impressing the client with the way she showcases the footwear. 

When Will sizes up his wardrobe, he finds that being tall has put him in another disadvantage. Since the photoshoot is for Jinny Kim’s shoes, that is the most important part of his ensemble. “The largest they have is a 10,” Will laments. “And I’m a 13.” Well, you do know what they say about men with big feet…

They struggle to fit into small Korean shoes, ya nasty. Still, Will does manage to make dynamic poses while handling an umbrella and uncomfortable footwear.

When Lenox gets on set, Yu Tsai is not inspired. He claims that, despite her great performance on set, the camera “doesn’t love Lenox.” Jeez Yu Tsai, the camera is waiting for their wedding night before it gets too intimate with Lenox…

Keith does great in front of the camera and Tyra comments that he is just getting “better and better.” Chantelle, on the other hand, left the clients wanting more during her shoot. After dealing with Yu Tsai’s insensitive ‘panda’ comment last week, Chantelle couldn’t focus on the photoshoot. 

She decides to converse with him after the shoot to clear the air. “I wouldn’t want people thinking that, since you’re so high up in the industry,” Chantelle lies, “that you calling me ‘panda’ is acceptable. Children with skin conditions could look up to me and think that these hurtful names are alright.”

Even though Chantelle is being very clear and rational about her discomfort with the nickname, Yu Tsai gets offended and insists that he only calls her ‘panda’ out of love. What he fails to realize is that, regardless of intent, she doesn’t appreciate the name. Besides, if I wanted to call you bitch, but do it lovingly, is it any different?

Well, even after the shoot, Chantelle still has trouble with words. After Shei spills the beans with some confidential information Chantelle confessed, Keith approaches her. He wants to understand why Chantelle would lie about hooking up with him. 

When she can’t form a valid excuse for her dishonesty, Chantelle freaks out and sleeps on the couch. Did she think lying about having sex would result in gaining Keith’s affection? It sounds too much like the plot of some B-list teen movie to actually work in the Top Model house.

Now that she’s ostracized herself from everyone else in the house, Chantelle sleeps alone in the living room while the others beg for her elimination this week.

Panel


Tyra loves the chemistry that Keith has with the other model and gifts him a 10. Kelly and Miss Jay settle on 9s.



While Tyra deems Lenox's picture a 10, Miss Jay feels that it could be "more captivating" and gives her an 8. Kelly also lands on 8, wanting more from Lenox.



There is a mixed reception with Adam's picture. Miss Jay calls it an 7, and Tyra feels like the control is 9-worthy. Kelly middles out with an 8.



Even though Shei has a pinhead, Tyra loves the "side tooch". She is given a mix of 7, 8, and 9.



There is a lack of intensity in Chantelle's photo. Kelly thinks there she has a dead face and Chantelle gets a myriad of 6, 7, and 8.



Tyra loves the "equisite" pose and gives Will a 10. Kelly and Miss Jay think his look is more of an 8.

"Now the judges and I will add up these scores and see who will still be in the running toward becoming America's Next Top Model."

"The model with the best score, and whose photo will be used as an advertisement for Jinny Kim Shoes, is..."
KEITH (44.4)
LENOX (42.0)
WILL (39.8)
SHEI (38.5)
"Chantelle and Adam, you two have the lowest scores. With a score of 37.0 to 33.7, the beauty that will remain in this competition is..."

ADAM
With only five models left, the competition heats up in an Elvis/Marilyn Monroe photoshoot. Then, they act in a Korean soap opera to determine who will make it to the finale. With only a few weeks left, be sure to check back next week. Until then...

BINTM c8 episode 12: See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Pier No Evil

Previously on Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model, the girls traveled to Toronto, where they got high. After a commercial at the CN Tower, the women then went on go-sees; where Risikat was deemed victorious. At a shoot in the Niagara Falls, Anita and Emma created a splash. And even though Lisa failed to make waves, it was Risikat whose dreams of modeling were washed away. Now, only four girls remain. Who will be eliminated tonight?

As the competition reaches its climax, the girls are feeling more and more “nervous” about each elimination. While all four of them have things to work on, the women feel that they CAN become Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model.

Two Girls, One Stanley Cup

Following the stressful panel, the girls are given a rare break from the competition to do “something Canadian”. They are driven to the Centre of Hockey Excellence where they are met by a professional ice hockey team. Almost immediately, Anita gets aroused by the smell of testosterone. Because if they’re missing teeth, she’s missing her pants. By the end of the game, despite doing terribly, Anita thoroughly enjoyed the 2-man advantage:

To the Penalty Cox!

It was also a nice bonding experience for the other girls. Lisa and Anita became closer after their experiences with the cherry pickers while Emma and Letitia bonded over their growing phenomena.

After the game, the girls receive an E-Mail:

“As a model, you’re always judged by your style. So be prepared to put your fashion knowledge to the test. Love, Elle.”

As the four girls ponder this next challenge, a clear rift between Letitia and the others begins to form. They see her as “cold” and “only here for the competition”.

On The Streets

The next day, the girls are met by Jeanne Baker at the “fashionable” Yorkville Avenue. As the social correspondent for Fashion TV, Jeanne joins the girls in a cruise around Toronto to find the “stylish Canadian woman”. With results like these, I’m lucky to live in America; a land not infested with fat women in fitted leather jackets…

The Right to Remain Diet

After Jeanne arrests the woman for countless crimes against fashion, she quizzes the girls on international brands. What should be an easy task for some causes brain aneurysms for these models. Even after stating that Michael Kors is “big”, Letitia still cannot identify the obese man correctly.

After an embarrassing minute of interviews, Jeanne judges the four. She calls them different shades of awful but deems Lisa the “most passionate” and awards her a nice out on the town.

Leaving Anita behind with Letitia, Lisa chose Emma to go to dinner with her. After arriving at a shadyrooftop, the two girls are met by Shanae Grimes. At this point, you can tell Living is really bending the budget. Seriously, the 90210 star’s outfit seems fully comprised of clips and snippets from the dollar store.

Shanae Dimes

While Shanae and the girls feast on half-eaten burgers and other dumpster diving delicacies, Letitia and Anita also engage in some cheap fun. With just the minimalist tools of wine and a hot tub, the two girls grow closer. After licking each others’ wounds (literally?), they receive an E-Mail.

“Tomorrow it’s time to head to the stunning lakes. Make sure your photos are as beautiful as the location. Love, Elle.”

As Letitia and Anita jacuzzi rendezvous turns the cameras steamy, Lisa and Emma toast to making it to this point.

Nothing to Pier but Pier Itself

The next day, the girls are met by Julian McDonald at the Muskoka Lakes. He challenges them to be “playful and young” for the shoe brand they are portraying today.

At the beginning, Emma was very “nervous” about her surroundings. But after easing into the shoot, she began to deliver “stunning” photos. Having something to prove, Lisa came into the shoot with “lots of energy”. She followed the photographer’s direction and, like a certain country singer, gave him the lovelorn look he desired.

Pierdrops on My Guitar

Anita also impressed with her radiance. She gave the photographer lots of variety and expressions throughout. Similarly, Letitia gave “great shapes” and astounded the photographer with her “wow” factor.

By the end of the shoot, Julian is impressed by all four girls, unsure of which girl had the worst performance. Afterwards, the women receive an E-Mail.

“Tomorrow you will meet with the judges and one of you will be eliminated.”

PANEL

Joining the judges this week, we have fashion publicist extraordinaire Kelly Cutrone.

Side-note: have the Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model staff gotten so cheap that they’re resorted to holding judging in their home? I know it might be them trying to be culturally sensitive, but are the girls really sitting on stumps? Are they so poor that they had to steal trees to create chairs? All around Britain, environmental activists are crying…


Tree Muggers

But I digress…



Emma: While Emma herself doesn’t like the shot, Elle calls her a “70’s superstar”. Whitney thinks it’s “pretty” but it’s not her best. Kelly agrees, calling it “alright”.



Letitia: Other than having stiff limbs, Whitney likes the “story telling” in her face. Kelly and Tyson agree, not loving the tension in her body. Julian was worried during set, believing that she “still isn’t performing” at this level.



Lisa: Elle “knows” that she has the goods but can’t believe that Lisa has “the same look”. Julian and Tyson agree, calling her “self-conscious” of her body. Even though she’s a “vortex”, Kelly calls Lisa’s pictures too “two dimensional.”



Anita: Whitney thinks that the photo is amazing from “the waist down”. While the other judges agree, Julian loves the way the shoes look. Kelly however, warns her that this wouldn’t cut it in the fashion industry.

“Now the judges and I will deliberate and consider your body of work. When you return, I will announce the three girls who are still in the running toward becoming Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model.”

Julian thinks that Emma has the “goods” but is the “least interesting”. Elle believes that she has a “quiet confidence” and Whitney states that she “might never be cast.” With Letitia, the judges are concerned that she is “hit or miss.” Kelly believes that she won’t have the “edge” of a room but Tyson says that she “seduces” a crowd.

The judges are in unison about Lisa: she is a “one trick pony”. Kelly feels that her “trick” isn’t good enough to continue. Tyson loves Anita’s shot and Julian calls her body a “model body”. Kelly and Whitney believe that she would be able to be cast.

With deliberation going deep into the night, the judges argue about what is more important: having an “iridescent” personality or having a “mesmerizing” look in photos.

“Four beautiful models stand before me. But I only have three photos in my hands. And these three photos represent the three girls who will be in the final. The first finalist and the girl with picture of the week is…”

ANITA

EMMA

“Only Lisa and Letitia stand before me. And I only have one photo in my hands. This decision was difficult because your bodies of work are both so strong. But only one girl can move on. The girl who is still in the running toward becoming Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model is…”

LETITIA

Even though Lisa is “absolutely gutted”, she is inspired to continue on with fashion. Despite leaving the “best experience of her life”, she is ready to take on the industry.

Next week, the final three girls compete for the crown of Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model. Will it be Anita, the girl who started off at the bottom but grew to become one of the biggest threats? Will it be Emma, the girl who consistently impresses in photos but fails to let her personality shine? Or will it be Letitia, the girl who lights up a room but still never manages to come out on top? Only one episode separates a girl from her dream, so until then!

Who do you think should have gotten best picture? Who do you think should have been in the bottom two? Do you agree with the elimination? Who would have you eliminated? Are you content with the final 3? Who's your pick to win? What was your favorite part(s) of the recap? Leave any and all comments below and I’ll see you next week!
