the one girl was crying so hard they couldnt even get a good picture and she totally fucked the makeup cos she was CRYING! why would they put her through it still and not just tell her to relax and figure something else out
@@jjww1 Because they knew what they were doing and her crying is amazing content. You have to remember, the producers of this show are soulless corporate scum and not people who actually care about these girls, I would go as far as to say, they haven't even *a grain* of care for them. The _only_ reason this show even has any safety measures is so they don't get sued. lol
If we can photoshop people's noses and curves, I'm pretty sure they could've photoshopped a giant hole beneath them instead of suspending them over it.
and the time they made inexperienced people dive in the ocean and one of the girls had a pre-existing ear problem (i think it was an ear problem but im not too sure about that part)
When the girls had to catwalk on conveyor belts... That was actually dangerous cause they were in heels and they had to walk faster than normal just to move forward. And then they also had to switch conveyor belts which made a lot of them stumble
I bet if she had actually demanded more attention from Jay she would be ridiculed and shamed for that as well - for not being empathetic enough, being a diva or sth like that.
THANK YOU! There is absolutely no way in hell they would've been okay with her trying to get him to come pay attention to her . I don't believe that for a second.
Yup. This show isn't about modelling, it's about drama. If they're going to make a big deal about the heights that HAS to affect the photos and be a huge discussion in panel.
Just put in a common but not actually dangerous fear that you don't have. Like... Say you're scared of adorable snakes. Or big dogs. Or cute little mice.
I’d leave all that blank or write some bs down. Biggest fear? Flowers Haircut I hate? The one I have now Traumatic experience? Someone ate my last cookie
did you see nigel barker confirmed that tyra often chose bad pictures on purpose?? like he would even say "that's not the best picture, that's not the one i chose for best picture" and tyra still ignored him.
Of course, because it'd be boring if everyone had good pictures right? So they have to humiliate certain girls and tell them they can't model..all for drama and as an excuse to send them home. Truth is 9 times out of 10 all models had good and bad pictures in the films.
Mr. Jay confirmed this too. He said he would pick 10 of the best shots, then he'd see that the one picked was not one he starred for Tyra to choose from. They totally sabotaged some of these girls.
@@vanityplates3125 Tyra was a Victoria's Secret model for 7yrs, as well being a supermodel, last appearing on a cover last year - Sports Illustrated. Tyra knows what pics sells, & what agencies, buyers & consumers like. I'll take her opinion over " a creative director" who is really just a reality show "personality".
What they do is sooo manipulative. They create the rivalry between the girls, then the one who is supposedly at fault is at the bottom two but she will be saved so that she is GRATEFUL to the judges and Tyra so that the only negative energy left in the room will be directed towards the other girl. They create the dynamic and then they separate themselves from it so that the girls won't see it. So manipulative.
Yes and then the judges berate her and make her feel like a bad person for not being more cutthroat and demanding during the shoot. Yet if she’d done that they would have still attacked her for having a “diva attitude” 😂. You can’t win with Tyra she’s just too toxic
"He did not say a word to me" Catie he was literally talking to you the entire time lol. Then after confidently throwing Xiomara under the bus does a 180 and starts sobbing and playing the victim. She was so frustrating.
"Theres smoking coming from down there, who lives down there?!" Girl, it's definitely the devil sighing how the show is being unnecessarily evil. This show is notorious for putting these girls through hell and having a laugh about it.
Omg I feel like sky diving wouldn't be scary as bungee jumping even tho you are much higher in the air with sky diving. Mind you I've never done either so I am only guessing. But I feel like it would be easier to slowly float down to the ground with a parachute then harshly bounce back up with a cable.
I perfectly understand this, I'm also scared of heights and no matter how hard I tried there's no getting over something like that. I'm very scared I'll make a wrong move and it'll be my fault something happens to me
@@gabitzakissy so I dont have a huge fear of heights but I feel like high enough anyone will be nervous to fall. I mean that's normal. If I was up there in this shoot I'd be afraid the cord would break or something. Just saying u can die if u fall from a high place so its completely understandable to be afraid of heights. None of u beauty's should be ashamed of that
I'm not a photographer or someone super familiar with climbing gear, but I am a mechanical engineer so I wanted to throw my thoughts into the ring! The girls in this shoot look to be suspended from two braided steel cables, which are extremely strong, not likely to snap suddenly, and have lots of internal reinforcement (from the strength of the material and the woven strands). These are attached the the harness with two thick metal rings, I'm not 100% sure what that material would be, so this reduces the safety of the setup a bit given that there are two points exposed to a lot of stress, and if these fail simultaneously, the girls would be in serious trouble. This is still very unlikely, but not the most safe option. The harness itself is pretty standard and has lots of cross bracing which will add stability and more redundancies -- basically, if one of them snaps you still have plenty holding the harness together. Overall, definitely not the best safety rig, but I wouldn't expect any of the models to be in serious danger of falling.
But what part of the building is all of this attached to because that beam looked pretty rusty and jenky (at around 5:55)? I'm not an engineer just a hyper vigilant scaredy cat.
@@Happytravellerkimmy Those look like steel I-beams, which are definitely strong enough to hold an adult person. The rust and grime definitely doesn't help the look, but that wouldn't compromise strength, thankfully!
I think it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. If Xiomara had spoken up and pulled Jay away, they would have called her out for pulling the attention on her when someone is clearly hysterical.
Exactly. Whatever they do they can never be right on the show. If one says she got hypothermia on the shoot because she was freezing they tell her "you should have said something" if she did she would have been told that she was difficult to work with, there were so many examples of this on the show.
So true. Plus it shouldn't have been her job to call Mr. Jay over. He was the one not doing his job. His job was not to handhold, it was to oversee the shoot. It would have taken just a few moments for him to walk over, have another staffer or model sit with Catie, and give the direction he was supposed to be giving to the model who was actually in front of the camera.
She was definitely not scared when she was throwing Xiomara under the bus in front of everyone, straight up lying when it was clear that Xiomara did everything to help her during the shoot. And then, after the whole scene on panel, she conventionally says she's not feeling good. Gratitude was definitely not present 👌🏼
I dont think they should have threw Xiomara under the bus, however, she did get some direction. Then when Catie said J had given some direction to Xiomara, Xiomara said he gave her direction while also talking to Catie and it was confusing....so she changed her previous statement of "didn't get any direction " The show just wanted drama and used Xiomara to get it sadly.
@@shinigamikitty but she was right, I mean, the "direction" he gave doesn't really count, if it is not understandable for the model, so it's not direction.
@@tatianasalazar4066 Yeah, I know. Was just saying that the way she worded that kind of bit her in the butt. I think Nigel gave poor direction on purpose...I mean the show is rather toxic.
“If your model is CRYING on the photoshoot then you need to reevaluate” YESS!! That is not okay in any sense. And don’t even think about sending her home bc she was afraid. Everyone is different and has different limitations . Couldn’t be me I would’ve walked out the minute I heard of the concept👏👏
We all know if she had demanded that Jay come help her, they would have raked her over the coals for it. They would have called her needy, demanding and dramatic. 🤦🏼♀️
The models were fine, those rigs looked perfectly secure. But I saw no tethering or safety equipment on the crew! Any time people are working by an opening without any kind of guard rail there should be some kind of tether! I need Jessica to collab with an OSHA inspector for some of these!
Yeah, even one of the models at one point seemed to tell the main crew guy who was helping them go in and out to be careful. He's right by the edge helping pull the models in and out, he could have easily been pulled off balance.
There was no net no railing. Freak accidents happen it just isn't safe for the crew. And on the off chance a model fell. I couldn't do it I'm deathly afraid of heights 😬
Even if the harnesses are perfectly safe, the idea of being held over a giant pit is still extremely scary! It seems like a similar thing to roller coasters, where it's totally safe, but can feel terrifying
I felt bad for the girl having to face her fear until she didn't even defend the girl that helped her through the entire thing, just sat there in the corner shaking her head. Still messed up that they did that though.
Then again these shows are cut to fit a narrative, we have no idea if she defended the other girl and the show runners just left the one sentence where she didn't in the final cut.
I think the basis of this show was for models to adopt the whole “Dog eat Dog” world concept or “only the toughest survive” pinning them always against each other.
Did anybody notice her contemptuous smirk when she said "I bet Catie's picture is better than yours" while pointing her finger at Xiomara? NASTY. Like she enjoyed it. So narcissistic!!!
They have mental evaluations before you start the competition & ask if anything wrong with to make sure you can do this……the military does the same thing before bootcamp and then when something like this occurs you cannot say anything because they will say “ so you lied ??” . ANTM is literally bootcamp
I think in her mind it comes "from a place of love." Like she had it hard as a black girl in the modelling industry. So shes hard on the black girls to prepare them for that and cause she wants the best for them or some such bs.🤦🏽♀️
Because she has a white mentality! Remember when that white judge criticised that model for looking to "African" tyra looked right at her like she was offended but didn't say a word which spoke volumes to me. She may not feel like a black woman because she's light skinned, maybe she feels she's a bove them idk. I do know she's a very manipulative, nasty and mean spirited person
@@sophiestrong4505 wtf? how is this a white issue? How do you manage to insert racism in this, like honestly. A black person picking on another black person is due to a white "society"? What mental gymnastics did you do in order to pull that off? and you just said Tara doesn't know cause she's not black enough?? You're demeaning Tara by not calling her black enough even though she is black cause maybe she's a shade lighter....pot meet kettle.
@@CherryBlossomBlyue how do people still manage to think your way in 2021, have you seen recent catalogues from magazines?? Are you willfully blind to the shift that they have now inserted in models used for everything? The modeling industry is tough for all girls, cause they have to starve themselves and look happy doing it. That's why many of them use cocaine in order to lower their appetite
Hearing the girl say “Be careful cause I wanna have babies one day” let’s me know that the harness is painful and cutting into them. Very unnecessary like most things on this show.
ANTM flubs concept so hard. The theme of this shoot should've been about bold and daring cosmetics. This would've worked much better for a colorful brand of make-up, since everyone's make-up was so extreme and their faces were closer to the photographer than their bodies anyways. Why make this about clothes when the harness and the angle of the pic make it so hard to see what they're wearing? Put the girls in neon monochromatic jumpsuits that compliment their make-up, stand out against the dark background, and allow them to be comfortable.
@@HelenSpacewalker that ambulance is their "safety net." Probably covered risks in the small print too, without ever specifying this level of risk. I... really hope that's an actual in-service ambulance & not just a prop. 😶
Again, YOU READ THEM SO WELL! if this was still airing, they would be so screwed with you calling it every single ep. They would have to re-write their planned drama every week!
The producers and stuff don’t really make it possible for the girls to say no. If you say no, you get sent home. We’ve seen it before. A girl refused to photograph in underwear, because of her own values, so she refused a shoot, so they sent her home. They don’t give you an option to say no.
Manipulation and gaslighting. When the girls refuse to do it they get shamed and lectured by Tyra and the other judges about how models have to suck it up and do whatever is asked of them otherwise they're never gonna make it in the industry, yada yada yada... then they sent her home.
In all honesty, that's actually a REALLY cool location. I can see why they wanted to shoot there. They could have shot literally anywhere in there and gotten some really cool pictures. They just chose the giant hole to scare them.
Considering Xiomara was so chill and supportive of Catie at the shoot I wouldn't be surprised if the producers told her to say that. Or at least influenced her to say that by mentioning "It sucks that you didn't have direction because Jay was supporting Catie" 😞😈They have to start drama somewhere. Also does the "You should have said something" narrative remind anyone else of rape culture? One of the strongest photos but in the bottom 3?!? 🤨
Jessica has officially broken the code for this show. Damn, it’s so bloody predictable. If I have to watch this show I’ll probably know how it ends up.
As someone with a true fear height, I would have literally passed out and then fall down the hole lol. The fact they have to have an ambulance on standby means it's PROBABLY not safe
Honestly, the setup was terrible. That was a great angle for taking pictures of a "haunted building", but not with models. The background was too busy and the model got lost. It would have been another story if they had been shot from the top and all you could see behind the model was an endless pit with some smoke... Would've been sick. But they really f-ed up with that angle.
Right!? The angle was super weird. I don't even deal with photo composition like that. I guess a more straight forward or lower angle would have worked
@@ksandesch honestly I have no clue. There’s an abandoned warehouse close to me and the second floor also has these big holes but more rectangular. Who knows what it’s for 🤷🏽♂️
I swear Jay was at the panel and he could’ve stood up and said “yeah, I did comfort her the whole time” but nope, had to throw Xiomara under the bus. Cool
Those nacho fries were the best damn food invention since tacos themselves. I only had them once (approximately 2 years ago) and I can still recall how amazing they tasted. I 💜 myself some Taco Bell but they were idiots for taking those fries off the menu.
I agree 100%, Photographer > Mr. Jay. He’s there for the commentary for entertainment purposes, and to push the girls to cause drama. The photographer wants to do his job, and get the best photo possible no matter who he’s shooting, and their skill level.
So the whole point of judging was to judge the girls pics of the week right So why did they sometimes put girls in the bottom two or reprimand them over things that had nothing to do with the pic or competition? Like just to create unnecessary drama
I believe this is when Top Model starts to be stupid with their photoshoots. Season 1 was very very tame looking legit and everything (I know I was shocked too) but season 2 is like "ok how can we make things interesting"
The moment I saw her dangling her feet like that, I felt the "oh God there's no ground oh God I'm gonna fall" panic in myself. Like if I was up there I wouldn't be able to move as I'd freeze and would have to be pulled up by force.
"I'm sure that they would not put the girls in an unsafe situation." Spanish Bullfighting shoot with an actual fighting bull in the ring that charges them a few times. Photoshoot on top of a building during a storm. Restrictive clothes in a sandstorm photoshoot.
ANTM is pure exploitation. Modeling is secondary to the drama for them. It’s really disturbing to see these girls genuinely fearful and sad, yet they have very little recourse apart from refusing and then getting eliminated.
I think they took cues from cycle 1 to develop the challenges. They had 2 girls refuse the nude photoshoot in cycle 1, so they put it first in cycle 2 to identity the problem children. "You have morals? Disgusting!!!"
I have a severe phobia of mice, like burst into tears at a picture of one. If I was on ANTM they’d be like, “this week you’re going to be laying on the ground surrounded by mice.” I would straight up quit. You can’t just “get over” a huge phobia/fear because you’re asked to.
I'm surprised they didn't do a runway show there. Just imagine the guests sitting downstairs ready to catch them if they fall 🤦🏼♀️ Edit: they didn't even put a mattress at the bottom and the building looks like it's about to collapse...
You should review the episode from the season with plus size model tocarra. There was an episode where they had to model beautiful clothes in front of a sport car. Well, they had a horrible selection of basically nothing for tocarra to wear. Then the judges criticize her because she got frustrated and cried. As a plus size woman, I can relate to going to a store and having everything too small or not fit right and having a meltdown in the dressing room. I felt so bad for her. The judges the entire season were always criticizing her for being plus, one way or another making it a topic often.
Please, please, please, react to Cycle 15 Episode 6 (Patrick Demarchelier photo shoot). Would love to see your opinion on that episode! Plus, each girl has like 3 photos being judged so lots of material lol. Love your videos so much, keep 'em coming! :)
I don’t know why but I loooove cycle 15 and 16. I think it’s because so many of the photos seemed artistic instead of ridiculous and they actually look like photos that could sell a product.
@@potatopie8833 totally agree with those 2 cycles. I might be wrong but wasnt cycle 15 the first with the Vogue Italia spread prize? Sooo maybe tyra wanted to seem more "serious" or something, but yeah, definitely less ridiculous shoots (plus the most gorgeous girls on those two cycles).
@@potatopie8833totally agree!!!! also cycles 9 and 11 had really great photoshoots concepts unlike previous cycles. Most of the photoshoots of those 2 cycles were amazing. I mean the rockclimbing, the desert, and chinese dresses from cycle 9 and the air balloons, swimsuits, b&w edgy and catalogue from cycle 11 were pretty stellar as well.
I really hate that the girl didn't say she was worried about me, and she shouldn't be criticized for being a decent person. Maybe she did and they edited it out because it wouldn't fit the agenda. Very upsetting
I legit think before this, the producers asked “How do you feel about mr. Jay not helping you?” To plant that bug in her head. Then Tyra picked the worst photo.
Lolll would’ve looovedddd to see habibi mr jay do any of these horrifying photo shoots that they put all the models through, maybe then he would tone the sass down a bit and won’t have so much crap to say 😤🙄
And the SECOND a model had tried telling Jay, “no, I need you here right now” they would’ve gotten SLAMMED at the judging panel for being a diva and trying to call the shots! Y’all know it’s true! You literally couldn’t win on ANTM.
That’s just stupidity right there. They all have the rights to be scared and forfeit. Why would you make such a scary challenge like that?! I used to love watching ANTM but after getting to know what they put models through, I’ve changed my mind
If you haven’t yet, please react to S22 E13 where they literally make a deaf male model do a shoot on a box in the dark woods with essentially nothing but a flashlight to guide him. I am dyyying to see how everyone felt about that. Especially putting him in the bottom two
Now looking back, I honestly don’t even think these people cared about the photos, they just really wanted the drama from these models and push their buttons to get reactions 😂
Why should the model be the one to remind the photoshoot director to do his effing job?! That's like a receptionnist or a cleaner reminding the CEO to do their job!, like what?
Hello ! Young architect here 😁 I'm so soooo shock ! What is shocking me the most is that there is no railing, no barriers where the staff and the model stand, it SHOULD be one ! This is a very very strict conditions on construction site, you should always have a temporary barriers and if not you cannot acces even stairs ! By the way, even with a temporary barriers that's steel very scary. I'm so shock about how this number one safety rule is not respect ! PS : sorry if there is mistakes, I steel learning english 😊
As someone with a fear of heights this legit made me tear up. This show was wayy to comfortable using their fears and traumas to drive the show. It's really so gross.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for you to watch this one for awhile. The thing I always remember is how awful Katie treated Xiomara. I know the heights stuff was really horrible for Katie and I’m sorry for her on that but that aside she was one of the models I liked least in the series. She was pretty two faced and immature.
this show is one of the best representations of Hollywoods endless goal to create chaos and humiliation as a form of empowerment, endorphins (don't get me started on actual sacrifices) and fear based trauma based "entertainment"
The "help yourself" line was very clever; growing up, you're told to look out for yourself before you help others, and it *almost* sounds like good advice when Tyra says it. Along with this, one girl feels bad for being comforted and the other girl feels bad for comforting her and they turn against each other.
This was the episode that for me, got me HEATED. You can see the manipulation, the gaslighting. Just horrible what they do to these girls. Also, YOU CRACK ME UP. Thank you for the constant laughs! I need it ♥️
Yep, it was literally Jay's job to be there directing every single model. Funny how the ONE model he didn't direct was doing something nice. Also, notice Catie reacting to what the judges were telling Xiomara. Acting like Xiomara was in the wrong. 🙄
I get these girls have a dream, etc. but NO ONE should be forced to do anything that feels humiliating, degrading, traumatic or forced. Tyra clearly is not the "strong female role model" she claims to be. As usual, it's about money.
It's morbid how this show goes above and beyond to traumatize, injure or humiliate the girls for their viewing pleasure. It's sickening
the one girl was crying so hard they couldnt even get a good picture and she totally fucked the makeup cos she was CRYING! why would they put her through it still and not just tell her to relax and figure something else out

@@DylanRomanov I think they probably have but must've been payed hush money or made to sign something. This whole show is so hazardous

Jessica: “I’m sure they would not put the girls in an unsafe situation..”
Me: *thinks back to the freezing pool that gave one girl hypothermia*
Me:side eyes the giant pendulum that knocked girls off stage and the tall heels that made a girl twist her ankle 👀
and the time they made inexperienced people dive in the ocean and one of the girls had a pre-existing ear problem (i think it was an ear problem but im not too sure about that part)
She had a lung issue, she only had half of one of their lungs
also everything that they have done to the girls psychologically or mentally

why didn't they just have safety nets?? If they used a dark coloured safety net it probably wouldn't really show in the shot...
I think it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. If Xiomara had spoken up and pulled Jay away, they would have called her out for pulling the attention on her when someone is clearly hysterical.
Exactly. Whatever they do they can never be right on the show. If one says she got hypothermia on the shoot because she was freezing they tell her "you should have said something" if she did she would have been told that she was difficult to work with, there were so many examples of this on the show.
So true. Plus it shouldn't have been her job to call Mr. Jay over. He was the one not doing his job. His job was not to handhold, it was to oversee the shoot. It would have taken just a few moments for him to walk over, have another staffer or model sit with Catie, and give the direction he was supposed to be giving to the model who was actually in front of the camera.
Exactly, if they don't act submissive, they are wrong. Always.
this show just take disrespect to the next level, using someone fear as their "photo shoot" and then roast the contestants
She was definitely not scared when she was throwing Xiomara under the bus in front of everyone, straight up lying when it was clear that Xiomara did everything to help her during the shoot. And then, after the whole scene on panel, she conventionally says she's not feeling good. Gratitude was definitely not present 👌🏼
I think if she would have said anything she would have gotten yelled at or dismissed entirely
I dont think they should have threw Xiomara under the bus, however, she did get some direction. Then when Catie said J had given some direction to Xiomara, Xiomara said he gave her direction while also talking to Catie and it was confusing....so she changed her previous statement of "didn't get any direction "
The show just wanted drama and used Xiomara to get it sadly.
@@shinigamikitty but she was right, I mean, the "direction" he gave doesn't really count, if it is not understandable for the model, so it's not direction.
@@tatianasalazar4066 Yeah, I know. Was just saying that the way she worded that kind of bit her in the butt. I think Nigel gave poor direction on purpose...I mean the show is rather toxic.
i feel like they could have AT LEAST put a net under them like something just so the girls know they are okay if they fall
The very least they could bother to do.
yeah they should've
They should have done that, but then they wouldn't have gotten the reaction they wanted.
“If your model is CRYING on the photoshoot then you need to reevaluate” YESS!! That is not okay in any sense. And don’t even think about sending her home bc she was afraid. Everyone is different and has different limitations . Couldn’t be me I would’ve walked out the minute I heard of the concept👏👏
We all know if she had demanded that Jay come help her, they would have raked her over the coals for it. They would have called her needy, demanding and dramatic. 🤦🏼♀️
The models were fine, those rigs looked perfectly secure. But I saw no tethering or safety equipment on the crew! Any time people are working by an opening without any kind of guard rail there should be some kind of tether! I need Jessica to collab with an OSHA inspector for some of these!
Yeah, even one of the models at one point seemed to tell the main crew guy who was helping them go in and out to be careful. He's right by the edge helping pull the models in and out, he could have easily been pulled off balance.
There was no net no railing. Freak accidents happen it just isn't safe for the crew. And on the off chance a model fell. I couldn't do it I'm deathly afraid of heights 😬
@@shaycat13 would you even call it a "freak accident" when it's clearly blatant negligence
+
+
Even if the harnesses are perfectly safe, the idea of being held over a giant pit is still extremely scary! It seems like a similar thing to roller coasters, where it's totally safe, but can feel terrifying
@Gay Bowzer there are cases of it but it does not happen all the time
Isn't it! I'm not trying to Final Destination myself
Roller coasters are scary
@Gay Bowzer not really...
Yeah
I felt bad for the girl having to face her fear until she didn't even defend the girl that helped her through the entire thing, just sat there in the corner shaking her head. Still messed up that they did that though.
Then again these shows are cut to fit a narrative, we have no idea if she defended the other girl and the show runners just left the one sentence where she didn't in the final cut.
I think the basis of this show was for models to adopt the whole “Dog eat Dog” world concept or “only the toughest survive” pinning them always against each other.
Yes!!!
Just the way Tyra wants it. To punish the girls for what she went through
Did anybody notice her contemptuous smirk when she said "I bet Catie's picture is better than yours" while pointing her finger at Xiomara? NASTY. Like she enjoyed it. So narcissistic!!!
As someone with vertigo and is extremely scared of heights... this would’ve made me pass out 🙃
Forreal I forgot about this!!!
Same, I feel dizzy and anxious just seeing them do it and the camera looking down. I suffer with vertigo and I could never!
Then they’d be like “you gotta tell us when you’re past your limits :/“
I almost passed out just watching them
They have mental evaluations before you start the competition & ask if anything wrong with to make sure you can do this……the military does the same thing before bootcamp and then when something like this occurs you cannot say anything because they will say “ so you lied ??” . ANTM is literally bootcamp
Tyra always roasts the black girls the hardest, it's like fun to her
I feel like she has the mindset that she is allowed to do that because she is black herself..but she should be spending more time encouraging them.
I think in her mind it comes "from a place of love." Like she had it hard as a black girl in the modelling industry. So shes hard on the black girls to prepare them for that and cause she wants the best for them or some such bs.🤦🏽♀️
Because she has a white mentality! Remember when that white judge criticised that model for looking to "African" tyra looked right at her like she was offended but didn't say a word which spoke volumes to me. She may not feel like a black woman because she's light skinned, maybe she feels she's a bove them idk. I do know she's a very manipulative, nasty and mean spirited person
@@sophiestrong4505 wtf? how is this a white issue? How do you manage to insert racism in this, like honestly. A black person picking on another black person is due to a white "society"? What mental gymnastics did you do in order to pull that off? and you just said Tara doesn't know cause she's not black enough?? You're demeaning Tara by not calling her black enough even though she is black cause maybe she's a shade lighter....pot meet kettle.
@@CherryBlossomBlyue how do people still manage to think your way in 2021, have you seen recent catalogues from magazines?? Are you willfully blind to the shift that they have now inserted in models used for everything? The modeling industry is tough for all girls, cause they have to starve themselves and look happy doing it. That's why many of them use cocaine in order to lower their appetite
Hearing the girl say “Be careful cause I wanna have babies one day” let’s me know that the harness is painful and cutting into them. Very unnecessary like most things on this show.
ANTM flubs concept so hard. The theme of this shoot should've been about bold and daring cosmetics. This would've worked much better for a colorful brand of make-up, since everyone's make-up was so extreme and their faces were closer to the photographer than their bodies anyways. Why make this about clothes when the harness and the angle of the pic make it so hard to see what they're wearing? Put the girls in neon monochromatic jumpsuits that compliment their make-up, stand out against the dark background, and allow them to be comfortable.
This! I could not agree more with you about the direction they should have gone in. Idiots. Cruel sadistic idiots.
Omg they are such manipulative bastards. I would really like to see an interview with Xiomara.
I hope Oliver Twixt gets to interview her soon!
so they didn't even put any safety net under 🤦🏻♀️insane, why did I even like this show for so many years 🤔
Ikr
The weird thing is I spent my entire childhood thinking that antm was really modeling lmao
@@Nikki-jn3ud same 😂🤦🏻♀️
I watched every season for years and I was totally blind to how manipulative it really was 😳
@@HelenSpacewalker that ambulance is their "safety net." Probably covered risks in the small print too, without ever specifying this level of risk. I... really hope that's an actual in-service ambulance & not just a prop. 😶
Again, YOU READ THEM SO WELL! if this was still airing, they would be so screwed with you calling it every single ep. They would have to re-write their planned drama every week!
The fact that the girls continue to agree and go for it is honestly so brave. Is there a reason why they do?😭
They getting paid?
@@brizuelasergioo true but I think there’s a line between your greatest fears truly brave
Because they want to win?
The producers and stuff don’t really make it possible for the girls to say no. If you say no, you get sent home. We’ve seen it before. A girl refused to photograph in underwear, because of her own values, so she refused a shoot, so they sent her home. They don’t give you an option to say no.
Manipulation and gaslighting. When the girls refuse to do it they get shamed and lectured by Tyra and the other judges about how models have to suck it up and do whatever is asked of them otherwise they're never gonna make it in the industry, yada yada yada... then they sent her home.
In all honesty, that's actually a REALLY cool location. I can see why they wanted to shoot there. They could have shot literally anywhere in there and gotten some really cool pictures. They just chose the giant hole to scare them.
you know i really want jessica to react on last season where they tried to do "oh everyone is beautiful so strong bodypositive yeyy"
Reading this gave me fear and made me feel glad that I quit watching ANTM like on season 12 lmao
I didn't know it was still going. smh
@@nicholasmaiab.6668 samee I stopped watching when creepychan didn't win 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I didn't know ANTM was still on
“There’s smoke coming from down there! Who lives down there?! The grinch?!”
OMG IM DEAD
Green Screen? This show is not about modelling it about making people endure phycological torture to get ratings.
Jessica's voice over of Tyra when she's giving her speeches to the bottom two kills me every time 😭😭🤣
Considering Xiomara was so chill and supportive of Catie at the shoot I wouldn't be surprised if the producers told her to say that. Or at least influenced her to say that by mentioning "It sucks that you didn't have direction because Jay was supporting Catie" 😞😈They have to start drama somewhere.
Also does the "You should have said something" narrative remind anyone else of rape culture?
One of the strongest photos but in the bottom 3?!? 🤨
Jessica has officially broken the code for this show. Damn, it’s so bloody predictable. If I have to watch this show I’ll probably know how it ends up.
This venue would have been cooler if it was a post-apocalyptic shoot and they were creeping around the edges (with harnesses).
Yea, instead of them all having the same odd bendy poses
As someone with a true fear height, I would have literally passed out and then fall down the hole lol. The fact they have to have an ambulance on standby means it's PROBABLY not safe
I saw this episode recently. As someone who has a massive fear of heights I would’ve walked away. So dangerous
ANTM Fear List:
Dogs. Especially the young ones.
Shoot Time: PUPPIES!!!! Omg I love puppies.
Tyra: 🤯🤬😒
Yup
@Rusty Howe lmao
Reverse card
OH MY GOD JESSICA! YOUR THEORY DID ACTUALLY TURN OUT TO BE TRUEE!!!
What therory
Honestly, the setup was terrible. That was a great angle for taking pictures of a "haunted building", but not with models. The background was too busy and the model got lost. It would have been another story if they had been shot from the top and all you could see behind the model was an endless pit with some smoke... Would've been sick. But they really f-ed up with that angle.
Right!? The angle was super weird. I don't even deal with photo composition like that. I guess a more straight forward or lower angle would have worked
This show would be so much better if Tyra did these shoots, challenges, and runways with them
Ok but this is actually a really cool location though (and would be even cooler if everyone involved gave their enthusiastic consent)
Agree! The location is epic, but I feel bad for the models 😥
I want to know wtf this building was originally built for. Like why all the holes everywhere?
@@ksandesch same
@@ksandesch fr
@@ksandesch honestly I have no clue. There’s an abandoned warehouse close to me and the second floor also has these big holes but more rectangular. Who knows what it’s for 🤷🏽♂️
I cant even believe this show was kept on air for so long sjsjsjsk they literally could’ve died omfg 😭😭 anyways girlllll Im livinggg for your look 😩👏🏼
I swear Jay was at the panel and he could’ve stood up and said “yeah, I did comfort her the whole time” but nope, had to throw Xiomara under the bus. Cool
I’m from the uk so I’ve never had tacobell but I’m outraged that they took off the nacho fries judging by your reaction 🤣
Omg HAHA I’m in America but I’ve never tried Tacobell
Those nacho fries were the best damn food invention since tacos themselves. I only had them once (approximately 2 years ago) and I can still recall how amazing they tasted. I 💜 myself some Taco Bell but they were idiots for taking those fries off the menu.
Lia, I need you to try a chalupa asaaapp and Bean1995, I am gonna send you some LOL 😂
They’re back
Oh Taco Bell is creeping around in the uk! I’ve had it in Cardiff and London! Xxx
I agree 100%, Photographer > Mr. Jay. He’s there for the commentary for entertainment purposes, and to push the girls to cause drama. The photographer wants to do his job, and get the best photo possible no matter who he’s shooting, and their skill level.
No net or anything below! How crazy was that?
If they fall, they die! Period.
The photos weren't even good, like what's the point?!?
I agree.. they just want to start stuff and create a toxic environment within the models.
To stress the models out
So the whole point of judging was to judge the girls pics of the week right So why did they sometimes put girls in the bottom two or reprimand them over things that had nothing to do with the pic or competition? Like just to create unnecessary drama
I believe this is when Top Model starts to be stupid with their photoshoots. Season 1 was very very tame looking legit and everything (I know I was shocked too) but season 2 is like "ok how can we make things interesting"
"I wanna see you cry, Tyra!"
Jessica says what all our hearts are thinking
OMG THIS IS SO TERRIFYING. THIS IS INSANE😮
Seriously.
The moment I saw her dangling her feet like that, I felt the "oh God there's no ground oh God I'm gonna fall" panic in myself. Like if I was up there I wouldn't be able to move as I'd freeze and would have to be pulled up by force.
@@zanet391 yeaahh me tooo..
There's never a moment ANTM doesn't make me lose it
"I'm sure that they would not put the girls in an unsafe situation."
Spanish Bullfighting shoot with an actual fighting bull in the ring that charges them a few times.
Photoshoot on top of a building during a storm.
Restrictive clothes in a sandstorm photoshoot.
The Erebus haunted house is QUAKING. ANTM is giving them so many new ideas.
When she explained her quarantine day routine and then said “why did I say all that?” I DIED 😂🤣
“i’m sure they wouldn’t put the models in a dangerous situation” ma’am have you forgotten every single video you’ve seen? 🤣
ANTM is pure exploitation. Modeling is secondary to the drama for them. It’s really disturbing to see these girls genuinely fearful and sad, yet they have very little recourse apart from refusing and then getting eliminated.
I think they took cues from cycle 1 to develop the challenges.
They had 2 girls refuse the nude photoshoot in cycle 1, so they put it first in cycle 2 to identity the problem children. "You have morals? Disgusting!!!"
"Oh yeah I'm tooootally scared of cats y'know it would really suck if I had to do a photoshoot with such vicious beasts oh myyyyy"
I am convinced now that Jigsaw takes part in thinking out photoshoots and challenges
I have a severe phobia of mice, like burst into tears at a picture of one. If I was on ANTM they’d be like, “this week you’re going to be laying on the ground surrounded by mice.” I would straight up quit. You can’t just “get over” a huge phobia/fear because you’re asked to.
I'm surprised they didn't do a runway show there. Just imagine the guests sitting downstairs ready to catch them if they fall 🤦🏼♀️
Edit: they didn't even put a mattress at the bottom and the building looks like it's about to collapse...
You should review the episode from the season with plus size model tocarra. There was an episode where they had to model beautiful clothes in front of a sport car. Well, they had a horrible selection of basically nothing for tocarra to wear. Then the judges criticize her because she got frustrated and cried. As a plus size woman, I can relate to going to a store and having everything too small or not fit right and having a meltdown in the dressing room. I felt so bad for her. The judges the entire season were always criticizing her for being plus, one way or another making it a topic often.
Please, please, please, react to Cycle 15 Episode 6 (Patrick Demarchelier photo shoot). Would love to see your opinion on that episode! Plus, each girl has like 3 photos being judged so lots of material lol. Love your videos so much, keep 'em coming! :)
And the camel caravana shoot from cycle 16. It was so dope!
@@MrCheesecake1928 absolutely! That was so cool, and gave us probably one of the most underrated photos ever (alexandria's, IMO).
I don’t know why but I loooove cycle 15 and 16. I think it’s because so many of the photos seemed artistic instead of ridiculous and they actually look like photos that could sell a product.
@@potatopie8833 totally agree with those 2 cycles. I might be wrong but wasnt cycle 15 the first with the Vogue Italia spread prize? Sooo maybe tyra wanted to seem more "serious" or something, but yeah, definitely less ridiculous shoots (plus the most gorgeous girls on those two cycles).
@@potatopie8833totally agree!!!! also cycles 9 and 11 had really great photoshoots concepts unlike previous cycles. Most of the photoshoots of those 2 cycles were amazing. I mean the rockclimbing, the desert, and chinese dresses from cycle 9 and the air balloons, swimsuits, b&w edgy and catalogue from cycle 11 were pretty stellar as well.
"If you're gonna suspend me down to the BBQ, I'll do it."
LOL
I really hate that the girl didn't say she was worried about me, and she shouldn't be criticized for being a decent person. Maybe she did and they edited it out because it wouldn't fit the agenda. Very upsetting
I legit think before this, the producers asked “How do you feel about mr. Jay not helping you?” To plant that bug in her head. Then Tyra picked the worst photo.
Lolll would’ve looovedddd to see habibi mr jay do any of these horrifying photo shoots that they put all the models through, maybe then he would tone the sass down a bit and won’t have so much crap to say 😤🙄
And the SECOND a model had tried telling Jay, “no, I need you here right now” they would’ve gotten SLAMMED at the judging panel for being a diva and trying to call the shots!
Y’all know it’s true! You literally couldn’t win on ANTM.
That’s just stupidity right there. They all have the rights to be scared and forfeit. Why would you make such a scary challenge like that?! I used to love watching ANTM but after getting to know what they put models through, I’ve changed my mind
Totally agree.
If you haven’t yet, please react to S22 E13 where they literally make a deaf male model do a shoot on a box in the dark woods with essentially nothing but a flashlight to guide him. I am dyyying to see how everyone felt about that. Especially putting him in the bottom two
Wasn’t that nyle dimarco?
Now looking back, I honestly don’t even think these people cared about the photos, they just really wanted the drama from these models and push their buttons to get reactions 😂
“Sending a kissy smiley face to the wrong person” hahahahaha girl, you and me both. Really tickled me when you said that 🤣
The way the models support each other !!😍🥺😍
Who else LOVES Jessica’s reactions on ANTM?
⬇️
Why should the model be the one to remind the photoshoot director to do his effing job?! That's like a receptionnist or a cleaner reminding the CEO to do their job!, like what?
Hello !
Young architect here 😁
I'm so soooo shock !
What is shocking me the most is that there is no railing, no barriers where the staff and the model stand, it SHOULD be one !
This is a very very strict conditions on construction site, you should always have a temporary barriers and if not you cannot acces even stairs !
By the way, even with a temporary barriers that's steel very scary.
I'm so shock about how this number one safety rule is not respect !
PS : sorry if there is mistakes, I steel learning english 😊
Good point. It's not just dangerous for the models, but the staff as well.
As someone with a fear of heights this legit made me tear up. This show was wayy to comfortable using their fears and traumas to drive the show. It's really so gross.
I used to love this show while growing up but now as an adult I realize how dehumanizing it is and how evil Tyra and her team was. Disgusting.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for you to watch this one for awhile. The thing I always remember is how awful Katie treated Xiomara. I know the heights stuff was really horrible for Katie and I’m sorry for her on that but that aside she was one of the models I liked least in the series. She was pretty two faced and immature.
yeah Katie annoyed me, she was always whining and crying about SOMETHING, my favorites were Shandi and Mercedes
The fact that these girls continue to join this bs show is amazing. It's one of the most dramatic unprofessional production in existence. Maybe
These videos should be renamed to "Photographer Exposes America's Next Top Model"
When you suggested this theory on 12:24, I honestly thought you were just overthinking... I could never believe they were actually building the drama!
this show is one of the best representations of Hollywoods endless goal to create chaos and humiliation as a form of empowerment, endorphins (don't get me started on actual sacrifices) and fear based trauma based "entertainment"
“I used to run all the time. Now I run to the kitchen.” 😂
Loving your eyeshadow Jessica!💙💙
The "help yourself" line was very clever; growing up, you're told to look out for yourself before you help others, and it *almost* sounds like good advice when Tyra says it. Along with this, one girl feels bad for being comforted and the other girl feels bad for comforting her and they turn against each other.
ANTM: Whats your greatest fear?
Me: My favorite show getting cancelled.
ANTM : *phone call* "Yes, producers Lets cancel the Show. 😂😂
That's safe, there's no danger for the models, more so for the crew who seem to not be strapped in
This was the episode that for me, got me HEATED. You can see the manipulation, the gaslighting. Just horrible what they do to these girls. Also, YOU CRACK ME UP. Thank you for the constant laughs! I need it ♥️
Yep, it was literally Jay's job to be there directing every single model. Funny how the ONE model he didn't direct was doing something nice.
Also, notice Catie reacting to what the judges were telling Xiomara. Acting like Xiomara was in the wrong. 🙄
I only have one question, why wasn't the harness under their clothes, this is so stupid, this was a good episode for Jay to lose his foot 😂😂
This cause then they wouldn't have to crop out the harness in editing
I just want to know how much these girls are spending on therapy
My biggest fear is being forgotten after I die. Good luck making a photoshoot concept out of that lmao
I have life purpose when I see you’ve reacted to a new Top Model video.
I get these girls have a dream, etc. but NO ONE should be forced to do anything that feels humiliating, degrading, traumatic or forced. Tyra clearly is not the "strong female role model" she claims to be. As usual, it's about money.
“We wanna see you cry, go on Tyra, cry in front of us” hahaha I love you Jessica
