They said to an aries "you're a lion, you're a powerful lion".... I'm not going to even say anything if you know what I mean you'll get the pain and cringe I'm in
And bless her dead fish heart! She was bound from head to toe, and had sequins covering her entire face... She couldn't properly move her body, nor her face! Plus! She's in a damned harness!! Idk what they were expecting but I'd have to snap back and tell them to "get up here and try it since you're so confident I'm "a dead fish!"!
Also, explain to me how that net helped illustrate Pisces? Oh, fish equals net? Yeah, maybe an ordinary fish, but Pisces claim to fame is helping in Aphrodites' birth or in saving her life. That fish did a service to a goddess of Rome and so was honored by being put in the sky. They always like lecturing the models on not knowing the character, but here the production failed the source material and the models tried their best to work with what they had.
@@SilverGallowglass I‘d love to see a girl reveal that she has a history/science/music/theology/foreign relations/... degree and lecturing them on their bs in one of these challenges.

@@RecoveringChristian I don't know if you've actually seen the earlier season of the show, but they're all problematic. Whether it's way-too-harsh critiquing, unfairness, or even putting the models in physical danger, there are so many problems. Did you not see the episode where they were doing a photo shoot in a freezing pool (which was unnecessary considering pools can be heated) and one of the models complained that it was too cold. She was basically told to suck it up and stop complaining and then was blamed when she almost got hypothermia for not speaking up. It's a double-edged sword.
@@RecoveringChristian Hey honey, just wanted to tell you to start using capital letters at the start of your sentences, especially if you're commenting on almost every comment and trying to act like a genius, when you don't even know the meaning of constructive criticism. Xoxo.
M yeah, for sure and I’m pretty sure that a lot of the time they were shoddy because Tyra was using it as her own vanity project to play at being a “photographer” herself. I always hated when they let her take the photographs then the judges stroked her ego about subpar work - they should have torn her the same new one they tore these girls!
they threw a girl out bc she had closed eyes in the picture... but like... they make a lot of photos, and she didn't have her eyes closed in ALL of them, right? So they choose the photo with the closed eyes bc they needed a reason... I wish the audience had like the chance for input when it comes to these photos
I've had people say that to me in several wildly differing scenarios, none of them acceptable, and yeah, it does feel pretty horrendous. Especially when you don't have the power to verbally tilt the tables. But I can't imagine the sting of it being on tv to boot.
I can't believe we used to love this show. It's definitely way more gimmicky and reality than actual modeling. It's just so dumb. I can see now that Tyra was rlly out of touch with high fashion, editorial, and stuff like that. These challenges are so ridiculous.
I say the same thing everytime I watch videos like this. I cant believe we were being entertained off of the dehumanization and embarrassment of these young girls. What this tells me about modeling is No one cares about you. Youre just a canvas. And even through the industry is cutthroat. You can at least give them pointers in how to cope with the negativity in the industry. That might be why tyra is irrelevant now. karma.
True and none of them had success in the fashion industry. I know some became tv host. Had some acting credits. I just mean a well known model the next Adriana Lima.
mister palacios I still think the show is a good one though it only need detailed contributions from staff and participants.. Its not easy to organize such a show I believe
This show is a reality show first and foremost. Once you accept that fact, a lot of the way it is run makes a lot more sense. Not saying it's right, but you can see why they do things the way they do. In addition, this was when realty tv was making a lot of money and very competitive. Amazing race, survivor, fear factor, the mole, big brother... It had a lot to stand out against, and with an all female, not as large of an audience. It explains why they would put them in less then realistic situations and be so personal with everything.
Reminds me of the Time Joop was Part of the Jury of Germanys next Topmodel. A famous German Designer. And often He comforted the Girls and after He quit He Said GNTM makes the imdustry looking worse than it IS. Or this TAlkshow were Karl Lagerfeld (RIP) said that GNTM is a horrible Show. And I actually think GNTM is nicer than ANTM (especially the Photos I would say)
And also that is not how the industry is. There are some really notoriously obnoxious clients, but just as no one wants a negative model, no one wants to work with a negative designer or photographer.
@Cosmic sudrrs they always likes to keep the problematic girls the longest even tho they can be awful. Like, Ann, Jade, Bianca, Renee, Whitney, Bree, Lisa...
You can really tell that all the judges had been burned by people in the industry before, but instead of changing it for the better they just became so jaded they decided to perpetuate the same cycle of bullying and callousness. Oh, you feel sad, that's too bad!
Not to mention, they didnt help many girls in the modeling industry. Most of the girls who went far were NOT the winners and instead, eliminated early. Lol. Wonder why?
That photo really didn’t look good in my opinion because of the sequins on her face, so ofc she would look like a fish. Most of the times production is the reason a lot of the photos don’t look good.
You know, I think it was in cycle 16, Tyra said something that to me was so important. She said that most of the time or like 99% of the time if a photo turns out to be bad, the model gets usually blamed and not the photographer. That pretty much sums up the entire ANTM franchise.
I know right. Everytime they're trying to talk, the judges feeling like they're disrespecting them and then they giving them the harsh criticism. That's basically like doing a personal attack or doing passive aggresive comments. Remember Kelly Coutrone (I forgot how her last name) vs Louise in Season 18?
What I don’t get is why do they ask certain questions and no matter what they answering it’s wrong. Tiffany from this cycle got yelled at for not showing enough emotion but then Kaylah is here answering their question honestly and she gets shut down real quick. I get you need to be professional and leave some things at the door but we’re human too and if my boss were to ask me what’s wrong and I tell them the what’s going on, I’d be pretty pist if they just shut me down. Don’t ask then just get to what you were going to say anyways.
It feels like the judges were abused coming up in the industry, and they're perpetuating that by 'hazing' new models. It's this whole idea that "I had it tough, so you need to suffer too".
They act like it's her fault, but she didn't choose to look that way! Her beautiful face was covered in huge, ugly plastic dots. She was dangling from the ceiling in a baby swing that they stole from the nearest playground! And don't get me started on the crap they wrapped around her body! Yet the judges have the nerve to make fun of her at panel, and say it was the worst photo ever.
Remember when ANTM put the girls in a net dressed as mermaids and one girl was full on upside down during the whole thing and she was struggling and no one really did anything to help her. Great times.
Or when they had a model whith several sensitivity to direct sunlight for a serious eye condition but Taira felt like doing a phothoshot in freaking sunny reflective setting focus on force her to open eyes in the pic,and almost let her blind 😎 Model world
Or when they made a legally blind model walk on a crooked and dark run way, wouldn't let her use her stick or view the runway before walking it, and then blamed her for stumbling and almost falling off
Honestly, I've always thought it would add another level to this competition if they had the model choose the photo they think is the best and then defend their choice. It would show their understanding of the goal of the shoot and their angles. But what do I know. 🤷
Models chose their best shot in one episode of cycle 2 (they also chose their wardrobe - the key element was shoes). Judges told some that they have chosen wrong and showed them which one is better in their opinion. It was actually great idea. I do not remember the number of episode, though.
Seeing this now and how the judges are “critiquing” the girls show how UNPROFESSIONAL they actually are. I understand it’s a reality show and they need to act like that, but this is just wrong if they are NOT even providing actual constructive criticism. This shows they really don’t care and are there for a check and relevancy.
@@RecoveringChristian I wonder what you define as constructive critism and I wound like to hear what the judges says that you mean was constructive. A quote from article " Varieties of critism" from wikipedia describes constructive critism as such: "Constructive criticism aims to show that an intent or purpose of something is better served by an alternative approach. In this case, making the criticism is not necessarily deemed wrong, and its purpose is respected; rather, it is claimed that the same goal could be better achieved via a different route. Constructive criticisms are often suggestions for improvement - how things could be done better or more acceptably. They draw attention to how an identified problem could be solved, or how it could be solved better. Constructive criticism is more likely accepted if the criticism is timely, clear, specific, detailed and actionable." For me that will be along the lines of "you look a little stiff in the photo. I think you could get a better result in getting to know and trust the equipments more." Or something along these lines. The critism the judges does goes more under "destructive critism" in my opinion. A quote in describing destructive critism from the article "Varieties of critism" from Wikipedia would be: "The term "destructive criticism" is also used to mean that the level, scope or intensity of criticism is such, that it becomes mainly destructive. In this context, people believe that the criticism is so great, or there is so much criticism, that it only destroys things. For example, a debate or controversy can get out of control, so that everybody is at war with everybody else, and everybody is opposed to everybody else. In that case, it may well be that the criticism is being overdone ("overkill"). What started out as a structured dialogue to identify conflicting aspects of a situation, ends up as a chaos in which nobody can agree with anyone else anymore." Here is another quote from the same article, just another paragraph: "Destructive criticism aims to destroy the target of criticism, by making the destructive criticism (e.g., "You should shut up and follow the program." The aim is to show that the point of view of someone else has no validity at all, or lacks any merit." That in my opinion can be "you look like a dead fish" and "This is probably the worst photo taken in the whole history of this show". They does not show any way of improving. How could she look less like a fish? Why does she look like a fish? Why do you think the photo is the worst? What could she do to not make the mistake that made the photo so bad? You should check out the article I have quoted, as it is very informative.
@@lovemarsh8037 totally not gonna read that. Constructive criticism is obviously what is says-criticism that is constructive haha. What they say on the show 99.9% of the time never is. That's what the comment you were responding to was saying. The little snippets I read of your enormous comment seem like you agree with the one you are responding to and don't even realize it lol.
Looks like the one who said "you guys are so stupid, biased, agree to everything the youtuber said. The youtuber obviously are clipping out stuff to make you believe in the youtuber. There where many constructive critism there, can't you see that, stupid people?" either deleted their comments or they where reported. The person whom I commented to that where writing both hate and attacking both the youtuber and the commenter that agreed with the youtuber in a ton of comments. Saw them even on another video of the youtuber. No need to read the long comment that is ca. 60% quote. It just describe what constructive critism is and what destructive ones are. I agree with how the show are just giving destructive critism and not constructive and agree with @Guss Aguilar's comment.
@@winterrrsea1674 I'm pretty sure I wrote in English. Was it too confusing for you? Lol.

I wrote the previous in an informal way, with more info on how she/he acted, but I guess it was too informal and confusing for you. Lol Well have a nice day.
her prime time is over... she needs her legacy carried on on these girls. So that even if they get super famous models it will be traced back to her. 'you were nothing without me' mentality
This entire episode is like my toxic ex. They create a bad situation and put it on the model to prove herself. Like, yeah I know I smeared baby diarrhea all over your face but it's YOUR job to SELL IT.
OMG I'm dyinggg XD, I read this wrong and I thought you were saying you spread baby diarrhea all over your ex's face and THEY were toxic XDDD (I am sorry that happened though)
I haven't seen so many unprofessional people (judges & photography crew) together at the same time at the same place. The entire show is a joke and so are the judges.
when tiffany was sent home tyra legit yelled at her and they cut out where she told tiffany to go home and sleep with her baby on the floor. like she for real made it out as if her yelling at tiffany was because she cared about her. i died.
Even the edited version shows that Tyra overreacted. Tiffany didn't want to cry on national television and just wanted to leave. She said her goodbyes and tried to remain calm while comforting the other contestants who felt bad for her. Tyra lashed out because she didn't get the reaction she wanted for tv from Tiffany.
Liberalshinigami if you watched the show Tiffany completely gave up. Tyra May have overreacted but everything she said was true. Tiffany’s grandmother sacrificed a lot so that she could be there. To lose is one thing, but to give up is another thing.
@@db200508 how did she gave up though? I remember she clearly won the challenge before getting sent home.. production and Tyra were shady.I'm pretty sure Tyra said that in order to hurt her and get a reaction which clearly worked.
error internet Tiffany is the person who mentioned her grandmother getting her lights cut off so that she could buy a swimsuit. Tiffany clearly gave up during that time. I used to watch this show religiously. I remember clear as day .
@@db200508 even if she had given up you dont lose your head like tyra who famous. like that was such an abuse of platform and she hasnt miused her status for the first time she did so with jeana turner too. just go see her videos on what her experience was like and also the first seasons winner adrianne.
The models all look greenscreened on that background and I am impressed how they managed to reach that level of bad effect without actually using a green screen!
It is literally their formula to insult the model as soon as they see her. Like even if there's nothing to insult but just say that she has an attitude (therefore will get sent home) or something even when she does not. And if she presented herself smiling they'll just insult her hair
Exactly! Like it's her fault she looked like that 🙄 same thing with Michelle when she posed as "Pride" for the 7 deadly sins shoot and she posed with very good facial expressions, but then Janice said she looked like a drag queen. Blame the makeup artist and costume designer, not her 😡
Why were the girls is a pedestal? If they were in a regular set, eye level with the photographer, simple light, the photos would have been much better.
Right? You can't even see the pedestal in most of the shots! They could have just had them stand on one foot for some of the photos if that's what they wanted.
I’ve taken some pretty bomb pictures of people that aren’t even models. Why? Because I made sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. And when creating content working together as a team will forever be more effective. It’s clear to me that this show is just another reality show thirsty for revenue.
Yeah I get what you say. Since I dont look like a model, I normally dont feel that good when people take pictures of me. But when I take pictures with someone who makes me feel comfortable and safe, I feel much better about the photos afterwards. I cant imagine how unwell the girls must have felt in this situation.
What? Can you tell me what episode because that’s horrible... I’ve never heard Tyra getting dragged for that and she should... tbh I thought she was a bad person before but now I think she’s a horrible person
To this DAY I think they just didn’t like Brandy and wanted her gone. They did her so wrong and tried to make her seem like an angry black girl. How can you pick the girl you said had the worst photo in history and she had only one good photo up to that point????
18:30 The makeup department really did her dirty ... She was set up to have the "worst" picture from the very beginning. Too bad, the rest of the look was promising.
The model does what there told...you can't give a fish a tree and scream climb it...also the photographer and makeup messed up not the model...oml I'd flip out if I was a model
Tyra seems so obsessed with herself. And as a model I feel like she should be able to relate to these models and offer good advice but most of the time it's the judges and her bullying them and praising tyra like she can never do no wrong.
Kahlen doesn’t model anymore and I wouldn’t be surprised if that environment contributed to it. I will say I’m friends with her on Facebook and she is definitely living her best life
Interesting topics there, but I think this girls are being pushed too hard, Jesica I think you should be directing this.. I have worked with a few models and they mostly don’t perform so well when stressed... REAL REVIEW 👌🏾
tickle tickle tickle I understand there is presure in every work, but in relation to this particular setting I think the staff should also be put to question
@@kymeana There's pressure, sure. Time pressure, when you're shooting with natural light and the sun is setting, or stress because half of the outfits got lost by DHL and you all have to make it work... But there's absolutely no need to add to the pressure by being a bully. It just won't make the pictures better.
Toeps this bully word is so over used. Like these girls didn’t have to go on this show. They were not being bullied. My advise would be to stop acting so damn soft. Buck up and grow a pair instead of acting like a overly sensitive child. No one was harmed from this show.
I used to love ANTM as a kid/teen until I got older and realized how toxic the entire show was. I'm glad you're being so real about the way the models were treated and the unrealistic standards put on them. Great commentary!
10:30 I remember in one season nearer to the end there was a lot of conflict between the models. At one shoot one of the models was visibly upset and sad so one of the judges/stylists pulls her aside during the shoot to ask her what's wrong. She tells him and then he immediately pulls this shocked face saying "you shouldn't be airing your dirty laundry it's soooo unprofessional!!" Like wtf?? These people set themselves up as friends and mentors to the models, but as soon as they express any sort of sadness they're immediately shut down
Yet when the model doesn't tell anything/doesn't complain, she "doesn't open up" or "doesn't know her boundaries". I don't remember if it was in ANTM or the Dutch version, but there was one episode once when a girl got hypothermia because they had to pose in a pool that was super cold. The judges were all like: "You have to take care of yourself girl!" I bet ya they would've been mad she was complaining if she said anything.
@@Bianca_Toeps I remember one model got a huge red curly hair weave practically an Afro and it was seriously hurting her but she didn't complain because they always get upset when the models complain about their makeovers and they had to change her hair because it was really really bad.
Speaking from experience, those harnesses are really REALLY uncomfortable! They dig into your skin and you're really limited to how well you can move because the harness is really stiff so you can't really bend in it. Honestly, if the photographer isn't comfortable doing it themselves, they shouldn't make the model do it.
I really like that this woman is highly emotionally intelligent. I'm enjoying watching the ANTM analysis alongside a healthy dose of empathy from Jessica which Tyra & the judges so clearly lack 👌✨
I used to be obsessed with watching ANTM until I found out how toxic it really was. I'm waiting for Jessica to react to the photoshoot where they blackfaced the models in season 4 episode 5. There was also another incident in season 13 as well.
and season 17 or 16 an all stars season where they had all the models be micheal jackson and used all the white models for him as a child and painted them orange and then all the black models for him as an adult and made their skin lighter
I love how Janice asks Tyra about wearing the “bat wings” during the Victoria’s Secret show. For some reason, calling the Angel wings “bat wings” just struck me as utterly hilarious.
I am 100% here for your support of the models. It must have been so hard for these inexperienced girls not having much direction in a super stressful situation.
Yeah, but humans have been taking beautiful photos for over a century, even without any editing software. There's really no excuse for a professional photographer to take hundreds of photos and come up with only 12 mediocre shots.
ANTM is very toxic. I remember when they did the short episode and all the shorties were excited and happy. Well...they chose the tallest of the short girls. Turned down anyone who wasn't 5'5 and above. They think 5'7 is petite 🤦♀️. 5'7 is a giant compared to us shorties.
Her reasoning were invalid. For me the pictures were okay. She should have judged it based on the year it was made. She should have not expected the editing to be as good as today's editing.
This is so refreshing to watch. Was sipping the Tyra coolaid in my teens but gradually got older and became aware of how toxic and self-centered she is.
I hate that guy. I have no idea who he is, I watched this show so long ago I really don't remember anything, but from this video alone I can tell a lot about his character and it's gross. The fewer people like him in positions of power, the better.
This show was about the drama not so much the actually modeling. That’s why the production was shitty. I’m a little sad looking back at this I always looked up for Nigel Barker but now. Rewatching this I feel like he’s a fake. I mean the cut of limbs and bash the models. Like seriously 😒
randee elke Agree so much! I was rewatching old clips for nostalgia and some of the sexual comments he makes would /never/ fly in this day and age, and rightfully so!
He always had a favourite every season. He seemed to have a fetish for Asian or half black girls or white girls with foreign accents. And if he didn't find a particular girl attractive, he made them suffer for no reason.
ANTM has had a lot to cause it’s fall from grace but the moment that always sticks out to me is when one contestant wouldn’t do a nude shoot, this was the first episode as well if I remember correctly so she didn’t know the cast and crew, and people made fun of her for it and I’m pretty sure someone pulled the “you’ll have to do anything you’re asked as a model” and this poor woman was so upset during the whole process.
Jessica hits the nail on the head with saying they love to criticize but not do it in a constructive way. They just insult, they are not helping these girls.
Lluvy was amazing she should have made it overseas Her elimination was such BS she definitely should have stayed over Rebecca Rebecca had like 0 self confidence
Honestly i don`t like the show for all of the reasons you mention and more, like the unrealistic expectations, the criticising extensively and getting mad that the models arent happy that youre sreaming at them, they always pic the ugliest pig the lighting is bad, the looks are mostly bad its just bad
In antm they always tell the girls to have more personality and open up with the judges but when they try to tell them the pressure they’re under or the stress of the industry the judges shut them down immediately.
This is so eye opening. Thank you for opening up the space to talk about how toxic we are to each other, and people look up to those people sitting in these chairs. WHAT, we need to address this as a society 😭 UNACCEPTABLE
Also- not trying to defend tyra because you're right she's a nightmare- only a very few models are "famous models" - these are what you call supermodels (from the show, Winnie Harlow and Nyle) but almost all successful models aren't necessarily famous, you get my meaning? Like you see shows for gucci, vs and the like and you can only name a few? But the other girls that you can't name are still in the vs fashion show, and are pretty successful. This is where a bunch of antm models sit. So, famous? No, successful? Yes! :)
And none of these girls are even in Victoria's Secrets but the "Instagram Models" like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are in Victoria's Secrets besides these girls. There's also Yaya Da Costa and Analeigh Tipton are focus on acting.
I’m so glad this video exists. I watched the show when it was live on TV and I was so genuinely confused because I thought her face was gorgeous ... I thought I’d just never understand the fashion industry! 😂
This shoot is more annoying because they literally had to interpret zodiac signs and they could have given the girls an elaborate set with beautiful makeup and styling and yet we got a literal crab and a literal ram 😑
I've never watched this show but the judges seem like sociopaths. In this day and age where people get dragged on social media for any tiny thing how the hell is this show not being lit up every day.
I found your channel like 2 weeks ago and you opened my eyes about the show. I guess I didn't notice all the shade cause I was such a innocent boy lol. But now I fell uncontrollably in a lot of the scenes. Ps. Love your work, your commitment and your aura in general. You are really talented. Thanks!!!
If some rando said that to me, I'd either be deeply uncomfortable or laugh in their face. I would in no way find it flattering. Fortunately most men know better and don't talk like weirdos.
This whole photo shoot was a train wreck. These poor models didn’t stand a chance. And those judges were straight up bullies! Thank you for calling them out. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you like ANTM, you'll love The Face UK, it's with Naomi Campbell and its so so much less toxic than ANTM. I'd love for you to react to a few episodes
Man my first thought was why they put on the harness on their hips. It likely would have been much easier for them to balance if the harness had been around their torso. It would give them much more movement of their lower body and helped keep them upright. Like if all of them are saying they feel like they're gonna fall, clearly the harness setup is not well done.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on some of the better shoots. For example, some my favourites are: Cycle 10: Fuerzabruta on mylar / dramatic posing in water Cycle 12: Coloured powder Cycle 12: Exotic birds Cycle 14: Shadows shoot Cycle 15: Underwater beauty Cycle 15: Fallen angels Nice to get a pro photographer’s opinion on the better shoots ANTM has to offer (there aren’t many but, details 🤷♀️)
oh my gahd! what a bunch of clowns. seriously please re-create this concept!! best if you can get the actual models (if possible). thank you for defending these models!! more power!
The fish photo is awful. Really bad. But it's not the model's fault. Who thought putting sequins on the poor girl would be a good idea? All the photos look terrible, but the fish photo is exceptionally bad.
How was the one girl representing Leo suppose to be a lion, with a leopard pattern on?
They said to an aries "you're a lion, you're a powerful lion".... I'm not going to even say anything if you know what I mean you'll get the pain and cringe I'm in

@ariellexo Well Leo is literally pard of the name Leopard. So you get a Lion and a Leopard XD
You know they said she looked like a dead fish but they dressed her as a fish in a net so does that mean she hit it head on? 😂
And bless her dead fish heart! She was bound from head to toe, and had sequins covering her entire face... She couldn't properly move her body, nor her face! Plus! She's in a damned harness!! Idk what they were expecting but I'd have to snap back and tell them to "get up here and try it since you're so confident I'm "a dead fish!"!

The amount of times they had images on this show that were crap because of the bad photography and yet they blamed it on the model is insane.

From what I've seen, they had some absolute _GARBAGE_ photographers.

I've had people say that to me in several wildly differing scenarios, none of them acceptable, and yeah, it does feel pretty horrendous. Especially when you don't have the power to verbally tilt the tables. But I can't imagine the sting of it being on tv to boot.
I hated Nole Marin when he was judging
Nole was a sad little man and his dog looked miserable too.
She should have said " what did you say Baldy? "
I can't believe we used to love this show. It's definitely way more gimmicky and reality than actual modeling. It's just so dumb. I can see now that Tyra was rlly out of touch with high fashion, editorial, and stuff like that. These challenges are so ridiculous.
I say the same thing everytime I watch videos like this. I cant believe we were being entertained off of the dehumanization and embarrassment of these young girls. What this tells me about modeling is No one cares about you. Youre just a canvas. And even through the industry is cutthroat. You can at least give them pointers in how to cope with the negativity in the industry. That might be why tyra is irrelevant now. karma.
True and none of them had success in the fashion industry. I know some became tv host. Had some acting credits. I just mean a well known model the next Adriana Lima.
mister palacios I still think the show is a good one though it only need detailed contributions from staff and participants.. Its not easy to organize such a show I believe
@@kathymurguia6881 actually some of them succeded in the fashion industry, but many quit (interesting point, now that i think about it)
This show is a reality show first and foremost. Once you accept that fact, a lot of the way it is run makes a lot more sense. Not saying it's right, but you can see why they do things the way they do. In addition, this was when realty tv was making a lot of money and very competitive. Amazing race, survivor, fear factor, the mole, big brother... It had a lot to stand out against, and with an all female, not as large of an audience. It explains why they would put them in less then realistic situations and be so personal with everything.
saying "that's just how the modeling industry is" is somehow reminding me of "boys will be boys" lol
And you will grow into a Cat Lady while I make out with Hunks.... boys will be boys lol....
Reminds me of the Time Joop was Part of the Jury of Germanys next Topmodel. A famous German Designer. And often He comforted the Girls and after He quit He Said GNTM makes the imdustry looking worse than it IS. Or this TAlkshow were Karl Lagerfeld (RIP) said that GNTM is a horrible Show. And I actually think GNTM is nicer than ANTM (especially the Photos I would say)
@@alejandromolinac lmao what even??
@@alejandromolinac You kinda look like a cat with chubby cheeks :3 😽
And also that is not how the industry is. There are some really notoriously obnoxious clients, but just as no one wants a negative model, no one wants to work with a negative designer or photographer.
The most insecure girl I see in this show is tyra
Yea it's like she just made it to make herself look better and to have an excuse to pick on others
ForgetTheS Oof, and Janice.. don’t even get me started on her lol
@@BrookeClark_ oof sisss spill the tea
@@BrookeClark_ oh, Janice Dickinmymouth
Remember the time, when there was a music video in All Star Seasons and Tyra ruined the entire videos by popping up of nowhere?
Remember when ANTM shamed and sent girls home for refusing to pose nude, because having boundaries was unprofessional?
Me too.
I think that was season 1 with the nudity and Adrianne just took her clothes off and had no problem with it.
Shannon on cycle 1 and again in all stars. It was super shady, but its ANTM lol
@Cosmic sudrrs they always likes to keep the problematic girls the longest even tho they can be awful. Like, Ann, Jade, Bianca, Renee, Whitney, Bree, Lisa...
@@ClaudetteVioletta makes for more dramatic and entertaining footage
@Cosmic sudrrs no stfu brit literally bullied her and won that season sure alex had her moments but nothing compared to brit
The show was pretty proud of it's "that's just how the modeling industry is", but I think that in the end, they did the industry more harm than good.
You can really tell that all the judges had been burned by people in the industry before, but instead of changing it for the better they just became so jaded they decided to perpetuate the same cycle of bullying and callousness.
Oh, you feel sad, that's too bad!
@Met3lAngel for real though.
It's not a secret, is it?
@@electric.nachos Well probably the judges were kinda brainwashed by their past experience.
This show was the reason my parents wouldn't let me become a model
Not to mention, they didnt help many girls in the modeling industry. Most of the girls who went far were NOT the winners and instead, eliminated early. Lol. Wonder why?
"She's not giving me proud lion." Boy, you put her in leopard print. She's a proud leopard.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That photo really didn’t look good in my opinion because of the sequins on her face, so ofc she would look like a fish. Most of the times production is the reason a lot of the photos don’t look good.
They should had used the sequins on her body and leave her face alone. It would look so much better!
You know, I think it was in cycle 16, Tyra said something that to me was so important. She said that most of the time or like 99% of the time if a photo turns out to be bad, the model gets usually blamed and not the photographer. That pretty much sums up the entire ANTM franchise.
Yeha I didn’t like the face makeup but the outfit was cool I like the clothing designers on that one a lot
Yes they exaggerated her eyes and not even in the good way. Like they did her dirty so much
there are so many times when they give the model bad comments because of their makeup, which the models literally have no say in. its so weird
They’d put these girls in a straight jacket and be like “You guys just seem... trapped.” There’s no winning.
Whenever the models try and defend themselves the judges just double down with insults and say this is what it takes to be a model....like why.....
who’s laurel antm girls defending themselves is a passport to elimination 😝
I know right. Everytime they're trying to talk, the judges feeling like they're disrespecting them and then they giving them the harsh criticism. That's basically like doing a personal attack or doing passive aggresive comments. Remember Kelly Coutrone (I forgot how her last name) vs Louise in Season 18?
What I don’t get is why do they ask certain questions and no matter what they answering it’s wrong. Tiffany from this cycle got yelled at for not showing enough emotion but then Kaylah is here answering their question honestly and she gets shut down real quick. I get you need to be professional and leave some things at the door but we’re human too and if my boss were to ask me what’s wrong and I tell them the what’s going on, I’d be pretty pist if they just shut me down. Don’t ask then just get to what you were going to say anyways.
@@carolinamurtha3102 FACTS
It feels like the judges were abused coming up in the industry, and they're perpetuating that by 'hazing' new models. It's this whole idea that "I had it tough, so you need to suffer too".
How could the poor girl that did Pisces possibly look good in that makeup? Its not her fault
And they said "You look like a dead fish". Girl you literally made her look like a fish and wear a harness and a net. What is she supposed to do?
They act like it's her fault, but she didn't choose to look that way! Her beautiful face was covered in huge, ugly plastic dots. She was dangling from the ceiling in a baby swing that they stole from the nearest playground! And don't get me started on the crap they wrapped around her body! Yet the judges have the nerve to make fun of her at panel, and say it was the worst photo ever.
Waiting for the day that people actually know how to spell Pisces. Today is not that day.
@@Tori-wt7dy I hate to break this to you, but spelling Pisces correctly isn't a life skill
@@breetoldyouso never said it was.
Remember when ANTM put the girls in a net dressed as mermaids and one girl was full on upside down during the whole thing and she was struggling and no one really did anything to help her. Great times.
Or when they had a model whith several sensitivity to direct sunlight for a serious eye condition but Taira felt like doing a phothoshot in freaking sunny reflective setting focus on force her to open eyes in the pic,and almost let her blind 😎
Model world
@@Neroba the sun made her eyes water, not go blind. geez!
Or when they made a legally blind model walk on a crooked and dark run way, wouldn't let her use her stick or view the runway before walking it, and then blamed her for stumbling and almost falling off
@@luxray5220 I distinctly remember that! And she was saying, "Thank God for the glitter on the runway or I wouldn't have been able to see it at all."
daisy rabbit And that makes it okay to risk injuring that girl?
Jessica! Photoshoot idea: do your interpretation of past antm cycle photoshoots! I would love to see how you would execute some of these past shoots.
This would be sooo cool love the idea!
Yess yes yes yes yes!!
Great idea!!
Yes
THIS!!!! Thumbs up to the original commentor
Honestly, I've always thought it would add another level to this competition if they had the model choose the photo they think is the best and then defend their choice. It would show their understanding of the goal of the shoot and their angles. But what do I know. 🤷
I feel like the judges would use that as another thing to roast the models on
Models chose their best shot in one episode of cycle 2 (they also chose their wardrobe - the key element was shoes). Judges told some that they have chosen wrong and showed them which one is better in their opinion. It was actually great idea. I do not remember the number of episode, though.
oooooh that’s genius
Seeing this now and how the judges are “critiquing” the girls show how UNPROFESSIONAL they actually are. I understand it’s a reality show and they need to act like that, but this is just wrong if they are NOT even providing actual constructive criticism. This shows they really don’t care and are there for a check and relevancy.
@@RecoveringChristian I wonder what you define as constructive critism and I wound like to hear what the judges says that you mean was constructive.
A quote from article " Varieties of critism" from wikipedia describes constructive critism as such: "Constructive criticism aims to show that an intent or purpose of something is better served by an alternative approach. In this case, making the criticism is not necessarily deemed wrong, and its purpose is respected; rather, it is claimed that the same goal could be better achieved via a different route. Constructive criticisms are often suggestions for improvement - how things could be done better or more acceptably. They draw attention to how an identified problem could be solved, or how it could be solved better. Constructive criticism is more likely accepted if the criticism is timely, clear, specific, detailed and actionable."
For me that will be along the lines of "you look a little stiff in the photo. I think you could get a better result in getting to know and trust the equipments more." Or something along these lines.
The critism the judges does goes more under "destructive critism" in my opinion. A quote in describing destructive critism from the article "Varieties of critism" from Wikipedia would be: "The term "destructive criticism" is also used to mean that the level, scope or intensity of criticism is such, that it becomes mainly destructive. In this context, people believe that the criticism is so great, or there is so much criticism, that it only destroys things. For example, a debate or controversy can get out of control, so that everybody is at war with everybody else, and everybody is opposed to everybody else. In that case, it may well be that the criticism is being overdone ("overkill"). What started out as a structured dialogue to identify conflicting aspects of a situation, ends up as a chaos in which nobody can agree with anyone else anymore." Here is another quote from the same article, just another paragraph: "Destructive criticism aims to destroy the target of criticism, by making the destructive criticism (e.g., "You should shut up and follow the program." The aim is to show that the point of view of someone else has no validity at all, or lacks any merit."
That in my opinion can be "you look like a dead fish" and "This is probably the worst photo taken in the whole history of this show". They does not show any way of improving. How could she look less like a fish? Why does she look like a fish? Why do you think the photo is the worst? What could she do to not make the mistake that made the photo so bad?
You should check out the article I have quoted, as it is very informative.
@@lovemarsh8037 totally not gonna read that. Constructive criticism is obviously what is says-criticism that is constructive haha. What they say on the show 99.9% of the time never is. That's what the comment you were responding to was saying. The little snippets I read of your enormous comment seem like you agree with the one you are responding to and don't even realize it lol.
Looks like the one who said "you guys are so stupid, biased, agree to everything the youtuber said. The youtuber obviously are clipping out stuff to make you believe in the youtuber. There where many constructive critism there, can't you see that, stupid people?" either deleted their comments or they where reported. The person whom I commented to that where writing both hate and attacking both the youtuber and the commenter that agreed with the youtuber in a ton of comments. Saw them even on another video of the youtuber. No need to read the long comment that is ca. 60% quote. It just describe what constructive critism is and what destructive ones are.

Well have a nice day.
Tyras like a mom who’s living her dream through her daughters opportunities because she didn’t accomplish enough or wants more spotlight. 🙄
her prime time is over... she needs her legacy carried on on these girls. So that even if they get super famous models it will be traced back to her. 'you were nothing without me' mentality
This entire episode is like my toxic ex. They create a bad situation and put it on the model to prove herself. Like, yeah I know I smeared baby diarrhea all over your face but it's YOUR job to SELL IT.
Who hurt you?
Apparently her toxic ex
Relatable as Tartarus!
OMG I'm dyinggg XD, I read this wrong and I thought you were saying you spread baby diarrhea all over your ex's face and THEY were toxic XDDD (I am sorry that happened though)
"Your legs are wrapped and I've just ordered you to keep your hands together, why aren't you changing up your pose?!"
"who you gonna blame the photo on: the model or the photographer?"
TYRA.
I haven't seen so many unprofessional people (judges & photography crew) together at the same time at the same place. The entire show is a joke and so are the judges.
I never realized how insulting and unprofessional the judges were. Like, there was not one simple recommendation or constructive criticism
when tiffany was sent home tyra legit yelled at her and they cut out where she told tiffany to go home and sleep with her baby on the floor. like she for real made it out as if her yelling at tiffany was because she cared about her. i died.
Even the edited version shows that Tyra overreacted. Tiffany didn't want to cry on national television and just wanted to leave. She said her goodbyes and tried to remain calm while comforting the other contestants who felt bad for her. Tyra lashed out because she didn't get the reaction she wanted for tv from Tiffany.
Liberalshinigami if you watched the show Tiffany completely gave up. Tyra May have overreacted but everything she said was true. Tiffany’s grandmother sacrificed a lot so that she could be there. To lose is one thing, but to give up is another thing.
@@db200508 how did she gave up though? I remember she clearly won the challenge before getting sent home.. production and Tyra were shady.I'm pretty sure Tyra said that in order to hurt her and get a reaction which clearly worked.
error internet Tiffany is the person who mentioned her grandmother getting her lights cut off so that she could buy a swimsuit. Tiffany clearly gave up during that time. I used to watch this show religiously. I remember clear as day .
@@db200508 even if she had given up you dont lose your head like tyra who famous. like that was such an abuse of platform and she hasnt miused her status for the first time she did so with jeana turner too. just go see her videos on what her experience was like and also the first seasons winner adrianne.
The models all look greenscreened on that background and I am impressed how they managed to reach that level of bad effect without actually using a green screen!
It looked better through the tv camera.
It is literally their formula to insult the model as soon as they see her. Like even if there's nothing to insult but just say that she has an attitude (therefore will get sent home) or something even when she does not. And if she presented herself smiling they'll just insult her hair
Last clip I watched, tyra says to Gina, "why you smiling so much?" At elimination.
"you look like a dead fish" BRUH the makeup artist made her look like that...
Exactly! Like it's her fault she looked like that 🙄 same thing with Michelle when she posed as "Pride" for the 7 deadly sins shoot and she posed with very good facial expressions, but then Janice said she looked like a drag queen. Blame the makeup artist and costume designer, not her 😡
Why were the girls is a pedestal? If they were in a regular set, eye level with the photographer, simple light, the photos would have been much better.
I'm assuming it was to give the impression that they were in the "heavens"
@@marya494 maybe it was just to make them struggle
@@lilica1983 Good point
Right? You can't even see the pedestal in most of the shots! They could have just had them stand on one foot for some of the photos if that's what they wanted.
I think they wanted the models to look like statues on a pedestal but failed.
Honestly this show was straight-up emotionally abusive to the models like they just couldn't win.
At times even emotionally abusive
I’ve taken some pretty bomb pictures of people that aren’t even models. Why? Because I made sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. And when creating content working together as a team will forever be more effective. It’s clear to me that this show is just another reality show thirsty for revenue.
Yeah I get what you say. Since I dont look like a model, I normally dont feel that good when people take pictures of me. But when I take pictures with someone who makes me feel comfortable and safe, I feel much better about the photos afterwards. I cant imagine how unwell the girls must have felt in this situation.
"we want you to show your personality!"
"it was actually really hard for me, i struggled with some of the comments"
"well honey get used to it"
That season also had a photoshoot where they had to portray another race + pose with a baby of that race...
It was awful, these poor girls
Ironically they couldn't stop complimenting the blackface pictures that episode, go figure
I’m screaming they did what
Can you really call her "poor" when it was their choice to compete on this garbage ?
What? Can you tell me what episode because that’s horrible... I’ve never heard Tyra getting dragged for that and she should... tbh I thought she was a bad person before but now I think she’s a horrible person
Amber pasta Its cycle 4 ep 5 I believe
To this DAY I think they just didn’t like Brandy and wanted her gone. They did her so wrong and tried to make her seem like an angry black girl. How can you pick the girl you said had the worst photo in history and she had only one good photo up to that point????
Racism at its finest
Black? Apparently black means literally anything now
Worst TV Show. Imagine dreaming of being in a show and the judges and the show will just mock you in a national TV. Ughhhhhh.
Search Are You Hot? It’s one of the worst reality shows and the judges only judge you with how not you look and nothing more 🙄
RBCorsiva sorry but what is flavor of love? haven’t heard of it
Little Legume that sucks
These judges critiques are the equivalent to a parent saying “because I said so” 💀
I think the photo of Tyra was the worst. Her face looked strange.
18:30 The makeup department really did her dirty ... She was set up to have the "worst" picture from the very beginning. Too bad, the rest of the look was promising.
She was also given multiple comments about how she looked like a fish before this shoot, they set her up
The model does what there told...you can't give a fish a tree and scream climb it...also the photographer and makeup messed up not the model...oml I'd flip out if I was a model
Tyra seems so obsessed with herself. And as a model I feel like she should be able to relate to these models and offer good advice but most of the time it's the judges and her bullying them and praising tyra like she can never do no wrong.
you should have a video where you either re-do ANTM shoots or edit the photos to make them look better
ozieexbby yesss!
I second that!!!!
Kahlen doesn’t model anymore and I wouldn’t be surprised if that environment contributed to it. I will say I’m friends with her on Facebook and she is definitely living her best life
Thank you for sharing. It makes me feel good knowing she's happy.
Interesting topics there, but I think this girls are being pushed too hard, Jesica I think you should be directing this.. I have worked with a few models and they mostly don’t perform so well when stressed... REAL REVIEW 👌🏾
There's pressure in every workplace, and plus this is an American TV show.
tickle tickle tickle I understand there is presure in every work, but in relation to this particular setting I think the staff should also be put to question
These are suggestions 🙏🏾
@@kymeana There's pressure, sure. Time pressure, when you're shooting with natural light and the sun is setting, or stress because half of the outfits got lost by DHL and you all have to make it work... But there's absolutely no need to add to the pressure by being a bully. It just won't make the pictures better.
Toeps this bully word is so over used. Like these girls didn’t have to go on this show. They were not being bullied. My advise would be to stop acting so damn soft. Buck up and grow a pair instead of acting like a overly sensitive child. No one was harmed from this show.
I used to love ANTM as a kid/teen until I got older and realized how toxic the entire show was. I'm glad you're being so real about the way the models were treated and the unrealistic standards put on them. Great commentary!
10:30 I remember in one season nearer to the end there was a lot of conflict between the models. At one shoot one of the models was visibly upset and sad so one of the judges/stylists pulls her aside during the shoot to ask her what's wrong. She tells him and then he immediately pulls this shocked face saying "you shouldn't be airing your dirty laundry it's soooo unprofessional!!" Like wtf?? These people set themselves up as friends and mentors to the models, but as soon as they express any sort of sadness they're immediately shut down
Yet when the model doesn't tell anything/doesn't complain, she "doesn't open up" or "doesn't know her boundaries". I don't remember if it was in ANTM or the Dutch version, but there was one episode once when a girl got hypothermia because they had to pose in a pool that was super cold. The judges were all like: "You have to take care of yourself girl!" I bet ya they would've been mad she was complaining if she said anything.
Toeps I remember that happening in ANTM! Totally agree
@@Bianca_Toeps I remember one model got a huge red curly hair weave practically an Afro and it was seriously hurting her but she didn't complain because they always get upset when the models complain about their makeovers and they had to change her hair because it was really really bad.
The fact that in Tyra's photo she is like the literal sun?! Like everyone revolves around her and no one shines brighter?
Speaking from experience, those harnesses are really REALLY uncomfortable! They dig into your skin and you're really limited to how well you can move because the harness is really stiff so you can't really bend in it. Honestly, if the photographer isn't comfortable doing it themselves, they shouldn't make the model do it.
I really like that this woman is highly emotionally intelligent. I'm enjoying watching the ANTM analysis alongside a healthy dose of empathy from Jessica which Tyra & the judges so clearly lack 👌✨
I used to be obsessed with watching ANTM until I found out how toxic it really was. I'm waiting for Jessica to react to the photoshoot where they blackfaced the models in season 4 episode 5. There was also another incident in season 13 as well.
and season 17 or 16 an all stars season where they had all the models be micheal jackson and used all the white models for him as a child and painted them orange and then all the black models for him as an adult and made their skin lighter
I love how Janice asks Tyra about wearing the “bat wings” during the Victoria’s Secret show. For some reason, calling the Angel wings “bat wings” just struck me as utterly hilarious.
"Well what can I say? We just watched a circus for free!"
Im deadddddddddd 😂😂😂😂
She's "just being honest with you" LOL
_And she ain’t even wrong_
The virgo photo was so beautiful and reflected the purity of what the sign symbodies, so like...wth?
I am 100% here for your support of the models. It must have been so hard for these inexperienced girls not having much direction in a super stressful situation.
“Like it’s a thing we all do any given Sunday...”
Pre-COVID Lion King on Broadway cast: Is....is it not?
Jessica is about to single-handedly take down America's Next Top Model lol
The photo editing software wasn't that advanced back then. I remember watching this when it aired and thinking how cool the effect was lol
I mean yeah but there are some wonderful retouched photos from that era too... there’s no excuse.
Yeah, but humans have been taking beautiful photos for over a century, even without any editing software. There's really no excuse for a professional photographer to take hundreds of photos and come up with only 12 mediocre shots.
Nothing like beating down the self esteem of beautiful girls by having photogs who can’t direct posing
ANTM is very toxic. I remember when they did the short episode and all the shorties were excited and happy. Well...they chose the tallest of the short girls. Turned down anyone who wasn't 5'5 and above. They think 5'7 is petite 🤦♀️. 5'7 is a giant compared to us shorties.
Sundai was 5'3"
"99 cent background from the dollar tree" ohmygha no truer words have been spoken lol
That is so hilarious that one minute they said "fix your bad attitude" to one girl and then told the other girl to "get over their bad attitude." Haha
Dang when I go back and look at the editing of the pics I don’t remember them looking so bad lmao
That's what I was thinking watching this! 🤦🏼♀️
Her reasoning were invalid. For me the pictures were okay. She should have judged it based on the year it was made. She should have not expected the editing to be as good as today's editing.
@@cirigaming9377 Lighting has been a concept since black and white photography, that's not an excuse. Production was also terrible.
The 'just get used to it' messaging is definitely something older millennial gals were absolutely inundated with.
Was the photographer standing in cement ,and did anyone consider changing the lighting ?
This is so refreshing to watch. Was sipping the Tyra coolaid in my teens but gradually got older and became aware of how toxic and self-centered she is.
I agree though, they don't get constructive criticism just insults. I'm honestly over the botox queen at the end, and the short fugly guy.
I hate that guy. I have no idea who he is, I watched this show so long ago I really don't remember anything, but from this video alone I can tell a lot about his character and it's gross. The fewer people like him in positions of power, the better.
You’re so right with the criticism, they say “you look like you don’t want to be here, you look uncomfortable” instead of “try to be more confident”
This show was about the drama not so much the actually modeling. That’s why the production was shitty. I’m a little sad looking back at this I always looked up for Nigel Barker but now. Rewatching this I feel like he’s a fake. I mean the cut of limbs and bash the models. Like seriously 😒
Rachel Kaparek watching him interact with the models really gives me the creeps!
randee elke Agree so much! I was rewatching old clips for nostalgia and some of the sexual comments he makes would /never/ fly in this day and age, and rightfully so!
He always had a favourite every season. He seemed to have a fetish for Asian or half black girls or white girls with foreign accents. And if he didn't find a particular girl attractive, he made them suffer for no reason.
I love how you're defending the models and providing common sense, I think this show needs more of it
Did they really send that other girl home just because she was just feeling a bit sad at the time then??
ANTM has had a lot to cause it’s fall from grace but the moment that always sticks out to me is when one contestant wouldn’t do a nude shoot, this was the first episode as well if I remember correctly so she didn’t know the cast and crew, and people made fun of her for it and I’m pretty sure someone pulled the “you’ll have to do anything you’re asked as a model” and this poor woman was so upset during the whole process.
I love how they put the "lion" in a leopard leotard..
Jessica hits the nail on the head with saying they love to criticize but not do it in a constructive way. They just insult, they are not helping these girls.
Yes!! This show is ridiculous. Flat out bullies with no effort put in to educate or help these girls... Just there for the drama
they CONSTANTLY did Lluvy SO dirty. she's one of the most interesting, beautiful models they've ever had, but they always screwed her over :/
Lluvy was amazing she should have made it overseas
Her elimination was such BS she definitely should have stayed over Rebecca
Rebecca had like 0 self confidence
These pictures look like a packaging of a dollar store costumes
Honestly i don`t like the show for all of the reasons you mention and more, like the unrealistic expectations, the criticising extensively and getting mad that the models arent happy that youre sreaming at them, they always pic the ugliest pig the lighting is bad, the looks are mostly bad its just bad
In antm they always tell the girls to have more personality and open up with the judges but when they try to tell them the pressure they’re under or the stress of the industry the judges shut them down immediately.
Really glad this is just 21 minutes of Jessica defending the models and criticizing the judges for being assholes. Good video.
This is so eye opening. Thank you for opening up the space to talk about how toxic we are to each other, and people look up to those people sitting in these chairs. WHAT, we need to address this as a society 😭 UNACCEPTABLE
This show is so irrelevant that none of those girls to ever participate in 20 SEASONS became "famous models". Tyra is a disaster.
Winnie Harlow.
I feel like winnie made it despite what this show did for her 😅
Not none, but only a select few. Winnie, Nyle and Fatima are probably the most famous of all contestants.
Also- not trying to defend tyra because you're right she's a nightmare- only a very few models are "famous models" - these are what you call supermodels (from the show, Winnie Harlow and Nyle) but almost all successful models aren't necessarily famous, you get my meaning? Like you see shows for gucci, vs and the like and you can only name a few? But the other girls that you can't name are still in the vs fashion show, and are pretty successful. This is where a bunch of antm models sit. So, famous? No, successful? Yes! :)
And none of these girls are even in Victoria's Secrets but the "Instagram Models" like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are in Victoria's Secrets besides these girls. There's also Yaya Da Costa and Analeigh Tipton are focus on acting.
I’m so glad this video exists. I watched the show when it was live on TV and I was so genuinely confused because I thought her face was gorgeous ... I thought I’d just never understand the fashion industry! 😂
I remember watchin this when it aired, they always picked bad photos when they wanted some drama. Pretty sure tyra hates the contestants every season
This shoot is more annoying because they literally had to interpret zodiac signs and they could have given the girls an elaborate set with beautiful makeup and styling and yet we got a literal crab and a literal ram 😑
I've never watched this show but the judges seem like sociopaths. In this day and age where people get dragged on social media for any tiny thing how the hell is this show not being lit up every day.
I found your channel like 2 weeks ago and you opened my eyes about the show.
I guess I didn't notice all the shade cause I was such a innocent boy lol. But now I fell uncontrollably in a lot of the scenes.
Ps. Love your work, your commitment and your aura in general. You are really talented.
Thanks!!!
Please, ladies, someone tell me when a man said the words "Girl, what's your sign, you're so fine''? Like, every weekend, right?
All the girls were like "😐 never??"
I’ve had one man try to flirt with me like that, I was 15 it was at Barnes and Nobles and he followed me around the entire store until I left.
If some rando said that to me, I'd either be deeply uncomfortable or laugh in their face. I would in no way find it flattering. Fortunately most men know better and don't talk like weirdos.
That only ever happened to me once in my life and that guy was so annoying, I actually answered "anteater" with a straight face.
This whole photo shoot was a train wreck. These poor models didn’t stand a chance. And those judges were straight up bullies! Thank you for calling them out. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you like ANTM, you'll love The Face UK, it's with Naomi Campbell and its so so much less toxic than ANTM. I'd love for you to react to a few episodes
Man my first thought was why they put on the harness on their hips. It likely would have been much easier for them to balance if the harness had been around their torso. It would give them much more movement of their lower body and helped keep them upright.
Like if all of them are saying they feel like they're gonna fall, clearly the harness setup is not well done.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on some of the better shoots. For example, some my favourites are:
Cycle 10: Fuerzabruta on mylar / dramatic posing in water
Cycle 12: Coloured powder
Cycle 12: Exotic birds
Cycle 14: Shadows shoot
Cycle 15: Underwater beauty
Cycle 15: Fallen angels
Nice to get a pro photographer’s opinion on the better shoots ANTM has to offer (there aren’t many but, details 🤷♀️)
I'd like to hear her critique the Cycle 15 underwater shoot, considering Matthew Rolston was the photographer.
The seven deadly sins from this season as well
I just stumbled across your channel and at first I thought you were a MODEL, not a photographer. Girl, you're STUNNING.
oh my gahd! what a bunch of clowns. seriously please re-create this concept!! best if you can get the actual models (if possible). thank you for defending these models!! more power!
John Renzo Aledia I love that idea not gonna lie!
She didn’t even do that bad of a job. This show was so needlessly cruel.
Such a terrible, terrible show. I cringe at how badly these young women are treated.
The fish photo is awful. Really bad. But it's not the model's fault. Who thought putting sequins on the poor girl would be a good idea?
All the photos look terrible, but the fish photo is exceptionally bad.
"I like" for Jessica to recreate this photoshoot
"We just watched a circus for free" DECEASED hahaha
