America's Next Top Model All-Stars Finale

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Finally, the All-Star winner was revealed in last night's finale of America's Next Top Model All-Stars. The All Star with the brand "Daring" and from cycle 5 Lisa D'Amato won the 17th cycle of ANTM. Although Lisa won the competition this was not the Trending topic on social networking sites and in the "Top Model Land", it's the sudden disqualification of Angelea Preston. The network needs to re-shot the finale because if it's not they should announced the winner in Crete, Greece, but still CW has the answer, they disqualified Angelea after they wrapped up the season.

Here is a statement from CW: "After production wrapped on the current cycle of America's Next Top Model, we learned information that made Angelea ineligible and she was subsequently disqualified from the competition. As a result, new scenes were filmed to address this for the audience during the finale."

Could this confirm the rumors that Angelea was originally declared as the winner? And she bragged about it in media or in social networking sites that lead to her disqualification? Read the CW statement again "...that made Angelea ineligible...", ineligible of what? Winning? I think so because if not what's the need to re-shot? Other rumor has it that Angelea was supposed to be in the re-shot but didn't show up. Something is really wierd with this finale, Tyra and co. should explain further for the fans of ANTM, just like me.

All in all, the finale was a blast! The All Stars had a Michael Cinco (Pinoy Pride!) runway show and they have to model underwater, then rise out of the water to signify their "birth as a goddess", then wear harness then work the runway while their recorded song is playing. They did the Vogue Italia test shots and the Cover Girl ads. I agree that Lisa matured as a model and not the "Girl Who Peed In A Diaper" model anymore, but Angelea has an inspiring story and her persistence helped her work that Michael Cinco runway show, on the other hand Allison has the biggest fan base of all the contestant and she really fits in Vogue Italia. Anyway congratulations to La Puchineta and I will wait for her Vogue spread, Beauty In Vogue cover, her guesting in Extra, her own brand of perfume, The Express campaign plus her IMG portfolio. This is so far the most scandalous Top Model finale ever! What do you think? To see the All-Stars full Portfolio CLICK HERE!!!

ANTM All-Stars: Exploring Greece Episode Photos

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Top Model drama landed in Greece! Was it four VS one? One of the girls felt being attack by the other All Stars. This happened after a very personal question, after judging each other's signature walk and portfolio each one was asked "Which one doesn't deserved to be an All Star?". Some of the All Stars think that the "persistent" one is not yet ready to be in the fashion industry because of her attitude and it was drama afterwards, super drama with matching walk-out! After that the All Stars explored the beautiful city of Crete, Greece and still had fun with each other after the dramatic challenge. They had a Greek Olympians inspired photo shoot with judge Nigel Barker and this was nerve wracking for some of the girls. Top Model fanatics know that Nigel is a very strict photographer,a perfectionist. During the panel Ms.Jay Alexander was back as a guest judge. In the end, the "survivor" All Star went home again.

America's Next Top Model All-Stars: Coco Rocha Episode Portfolios

Friday, October 21, 2011

After last week's shockingly sweet panel the All Stars now know that they are each others competition. After a sneak at last week's backstage drama and Bre's realization that she should focus more on her own game plan, the girls were invited to a charity challenge with Nigel Barker. The All Stars were divided into two teams and eliminated girls were back to play as well. The girls got excited as four hot NFL players were summoned to play with them. The flag football game gave the girls a chance to express their frustrations especially Bianca. The football game also had a twist as the All Stars need to pose for the camera too! The winner got styled by Andre Leon Talley for Tyra's typef.com website. The photo shoot gave the girls a chance to work with the "Queen of Posing", supermodel and guest judge Coco Rocha, oh I love this girl she is so fierce! During this bitch fight themed photo shoot Bianca was paired with Shannon, Allison struggled, Angelea had a moment of drama, Bre got loud and Dominique delivered a great photo(shown above). In the end the girl who lost her personality went home. To see the All Star portfolio, CLICK HERE!!!

America's Next Top Model All Stars-Kristin Cavallari Portfolios

Thursday, September 29, 2011

Reality star from The Hills and Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari visited the girls and told them about what it takes to be a celebrity, I liked her talk about bitchiness and then Nigel Barker gave them a challenge and tested their interview skills with the host of Extra, the ever handsome Mario Lopez. The All Stars winner will have a chance to be a guest correspondent in Extra that's why the girls really gave their best in this challenge, unfortunately not everybody shine, the wild girl annoyed some of the other girls and caused them the win. In the end six girls were safe and the other six are up for elimination, this made one of the girls switched to bitch mode. The girls were paired together during the photo shoot in stilts, I super like this concept, high fashion! Most girls stumbled and one of the girls revisited her fear of heights, during the panel, Kristin Cavallari returned as one of the guest judge. One of the girls expressed her confusions to Nigel Barker and Tyra brought that up during deliberation. The girl that represents "Inspiration" went home in the end because of her inconsistency, this actually shocked me, Camille is very lucky, she's part of the winning team.

America's Next Top Model All Stars-Nicki Minaj Episode

Thursday, September 15, 2011


After the long wait, Top Model All Stars finally premiered! Tyra Banks, the creator of America's Next Top Model, successfully presented the 14 fan-favorite contestants from past cycles. The pilot episode was exciting and intense, I was smizing the entire episode! Haha, The girls arrived one by one in their mansion and just for the first 5mins. a catfight between bestfriends Bianca and Bre errupted! The girls did a photo shoot re-encarnating their Top Model personas. A live judging panel happened with guest star and Top Model fan, Nicki Minaj. I felt bad for Alexandria but so proud of Laura, both of them has a good shot of winning this cycle. The most confident girl got the first All Star Best Photo and I actually thought that Sheena will go home first but as shocking as it is, One of the bitch went home because the crowd can't remember her, maybe it's because of all those plastic surgeries. The winner of this All Star cycle will get a $100,000 contract with Covergirl cosmetics, a campaign with Express, an opportunity to be a guest correspondent in Extra and a spread in Vogue Italia! Next week is the Ashlee Simpson episode, MakeOver time!!! To check this cycles full portfolio CLICK HERE!!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16: And The Winner Is...

Friday, May 20, 2011

This is it! Last night's ANTM Finale was great! The final two Brittani Kline and Molly O'Connell battle it out for the last time. The girls had a one on one with IMG big boss Ivan Bart. A Covergirl commercial and an edgier Covergirl photo shoot with world class photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. I actually like the idea of Covergirl twisting a little bit from bubbly photos to a more fierce look! After that the top two had their Vogue Italia shoot with mirrors. A surprise back home was waiting for Molly and it made Brittani cry AGAIN! The Final Runway was the most memorable, as the girls walked wearing the designs of the influential and Avant Garde designer Vivienne Westwood. The Anglomania collection of Ms.Westwood is fierce baby! Top Model finale will not be complete without a visit from last cycle winner Ann Ward! Ann's personality and her Runway walk got better! Kasia, Alexandria and Hannah joins the top two during the Runway and Hannah looks good I can say. Jay Manuel joins the panel to help the judges decide who will be America's Next Top Model... If you want SPOILERS go and read more below!

Molly(above) and Brittani (below) for their Covergirl shots.

Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker, Andre Lleon Taley and Jay Manuel had a hard time deciding which of Brittani and Molly should win. Brittani can deliver good photos and her strong Runway walk is her ace. While Molly delivered best photo more than Brittani and her tough attitude can handle the mad world of fashion but her anger issues always gets in her way. So who win this cycle? The strong walk of Brittani or Fierce photos of Molly? The brunette or the blonde?


And as Tyra Banks will say, America's Next Top Model is....



Brittani Kline! YEY! Go girl! Brittani along with Hannah and Molly were my bets to win this cycle! Now I can't wait for September for, as the rumor says, America's Next Top Model ALL STAR!! For Now, To see all Brittani Kline's and this cycle's portfolio CLICK HERE!!!!
