    When Tyra said to Anna, “how does it feel to be the only plus size model” I choked on my drink. PLUS SIZE?! Anna looks like maybe a size 4 or 6, hardly even close to plus size. The early 2000s truly were wild and the reason why I still have body dysmorphia to this day

    • @FunSize4Audibles
      @FunSize4Audibles 2 года назад +33

      In 2003, anyone above a size 2 was considered plus size. I remember in Tim Gunn's blog for Project Runway, he referred to one of the models as "plus size" and people were reacting pretty negatively to that because she looked a size 4 at most. The early 2000s were way behind from where we are now in terms of body inclusivity

    This show straight up conditions people to accept abusive employment environments. There are multiple episodes of serialized crime dramas that deal with a model or a series of models being coerced into modeling nude and then forced into ... more. And this show is a huge reason that it's still happening, especially as its impact grew and the offshoots started. Tyra Banks effectively set the modeling world back a couple decades with challenges like this.

    I’ve rewatched this one 3-4 times now and every time I hear Tyra’s “top advice” of ‘wanting something so much you don’t have a backup plan’ my blood boils even more. What a ridiculous thing to tell young women entering an extremely fast paced, competitive, volatile industry. A backup plan is just good sense, not a lack of dedication.

    Apparently the girls explained Jenascia on set that they didn't notice she wasn't there because they were still so new to each other, so they just didn't think of her until they were on the van + production wouldn't allow them to go back to the apartment (I think the elevator was transporting equipment from production). Also, Nigel himself explained he didn't mind Jenascia being late because the makeup for the girls before took a long time anyways so she still was "on time".

    • @johanneshalberstadt3663
      @johanneshalberstadt3663 2 года назад +113

      I believe the whole thing was a produced storyline, where Jenescia wasn't informed. I think it was set up for Jenescia to be left behind, to wake up late, panic, cry, be called, arrive and everything's alright again. They had a film crew in the house, filming every girl wake up. Filming the alarms. I don't buy, that it "just happened". I think production arranged it that way. Maybe even without the other girls knowing.

    • @purplemonkey9575
      @purplemonkey9575 2 года назад +52

      ​@@johanneshalberstadt3663 The crew isn't allowed to interact with the girls AT ALL so even if they wanted to help her they just couldn't, they are there just to record. I do think them not letting the girls go back to the apartment was a way for production to cause drama since one girl could have easily used the stairs to get to the fourth floor in no time.
      Now to be completely honest, if you're competing for something you truly want, I think you're expected to set your own alarm and get yourself up no matter what..

      Nigel talks about it in his interview with Oliver Twixt… like 36 min in. He basically says he didn’t know until he rewatched with his daughter during the pandemic that they left without waking her up and he was told by production to go fuss at her for being late even though he typically wouldn’t do that even if he was annoyed because he wouldn’t want to make someone he has to photograph feel bad and make his job harder.

I know it’s a bit naive of her to trust people she barely knows but I really don’t want to blame people for trying to see good in others.

    Regarding the one model talking about being hungry. Shandi said in a recent interview that frequently while filming this season there was no food and they would be left hungry. Most likely in a bid to keep their emotions nervous and heightened to make good tv. That's why later in one episode one model ends up out of her mind drunk. Because she hadn't been given any food to eat all day and was then given alcohol and told to relax and party.

    I've done full body paint modeling/photo shoots. I don't understand why they can't give them these skin-tight panties and use thin, skin toned pasties if they're uncomfortable. I looked completely nude but I was covered in the public events.
    Idk. It's clearly not an option for the drama.

    • @ophilianecr
      @ophilianecr 2 года назад +58

      They were definitely given pasties and what looks like the groin pasties. You can see it in the girl who had hair ringlets around her boobs. The problem is that many Christians think that doesn't count as covered up. They'll do tiny swimsuits so fast, but lingerie, or skin tone/ "nude illusion" garments are somehow unacceptable. 😒🙄 We saw it in cycle 1 with Robin and Shannon. So many people have these arbitrary "lines" they won't cross, and some make no sense considering other things they're willing to do.

    From my experience in a talent agency for film and television, any nudity in a contract was outlined in basically a SEPARATE CONTRACT where there was the agreement, the outlined list of production needed (which is supposed to be as limited as humanly possible on a closed set), and the script sides of the EXACT scene in question. For each scene involving nudity, there needs to be a separate package for EACH SCENE. It really makes me question the.... ethics??? of these moments??? I get it that riders have changed a lot since the early 2000s but it still seems really shady to say the least...

    I vaguely recall hearing somewhere back during the early seasons of ANTM when the winners weren’t “making it big” that the girls really started out disadvantaged because the had to be 18+ to be on the show because they couldn’t do the filming schedule with minors due to labor laws and to really go big in modeling you had to start well before 18. Some of that might have been PR to cover for the fact that the high fashion people didn’t want reality stars, but I think underage girls as models and actresses in very sexy roles probably was probably way more common and not considered nearly as problematic back then, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it certainly did make it harder.

    Literally the only reason it's "rude" to put your elbows on the table is because it was considered taboo due to the fact that it apparently meant you were ready to fight someone.
    Tucking hands under the table gave people more time to stop a fight.
    So basically it is out-dated and stupid, and I don't follow that rule at all. Why do something that means nothing??

      Thank you for this. I’ve been feeling alone lately, and isolated. My husband means well but he doesn’t live inside my body, so he doesn’t really truly understand how chronic pain and fatigue feels. I can’t make it up the stairs most days more than once or twice and even then only for the restroom… if I try going upstairs and spending time outside my room(which is in the basement because it’s comforting and because it’s my space…) it’s always a chore because I have to navigate sensory issues, seating arrangements for comfort and accessibility, etc etc. and most days I just can’t be bothered… I’m comfortable in my environment… but it is still lonely sometimes. My husband and I have separate sleep schedules, and he has two jobs to support us, so he sleeps in another room due to the sleep schedules and also due to my comfort… I sleep better by myself…
      The overall point of this accidental info-dump, was that your comment spoke to me as if I’d written it myself… and it’s nice to see that someone else understands. Thanks.

    I 1000% agree that you should never do any photos you don’t want to do. My husband and I are both art photographers and we have contracts that every model signs. If it’s a nude shoot, it’s discussed WELL in advance and extremely clearly. You establish what the model’s boundaries are (topless vs full nude, for example) and everyone is on the same page. It’s not fun to have an uncomfortable model, for any reason.
    Another thing about making sure everyone is consenting; if you don’t have the model’s express permission, she can easily contact you any time in the future, tell you she’s changed her mind and ask you to take the photos down/stop using them/remove them from the show/whatever. It still happens even with consent and we always honor their wishes, but it can really suck and mess things up. Less scrupulous photographs will force the model to purchase the rights to the photos to the model, often for a very hefty fee they can’t really afford. Photographers don’t want models to do anything they’ll regret. Models don’t want to find themselves in this position. Everyone just get consent.

    I think it was rotten of them to do the nude shoot so early on, and to not inform the models BEFORE they even sign up for this show that nudity would be needed. if nothing else, they should have offered alternatives like nude body suits or a more covered look. I think Anna seemed a bit entitled in how she described herself not doing the "ungodly" work, but I will also admit that her look seemed to have the least amount of paint and accessories. Some of them appeared almost fully clothed with opaque paint and tons of accessories that changed their silhouette.

    The old and outdated as hell ideas of what "plus size" is still baffles me to this day. The model industry is still toxic but it has thankfully come a long way since 20 years ago. Only hope that it keeps shifting and becoming more inclusive, more diverse and more embracing of all people.
    Also, forever loving when you bring science into your content. ❤

    So great to have your ANTM reaction videos back Luxeria. Also no offense to Roly but the way Janice said "what?" at the end. I had looked away for a second and genuinely thought it was Roly(on a soundbite/clip). 🤣

    I LOVE how she switched it up in the real opening sequence and said " I've got goiter!" Instead of only GOUT the whole time!!!😄😄😄😂😂😂💓💓💓😆😆😆

    My mother used to be quite picky over my table manners, it took her a while to realise I did some things differently because of the tremor in my hands and I wasn't really consciously aware of the fact that I was adapting to be able to tell her that.

    I have recently found your channel and I am so happy that I did. You are beautiful, funny, and smart and I love watching your videos. I won't lie... "Get in the Bin" is now a phrase in my vocabulary. You officially influenced me, you gorgeous influencer! Much love to you and your channel!

    The "wow, you can really dance" made me fall in love with you because so many people don't know that video
