Jay A said “A little less modelling school, a little more current.” That being said, “A little less modelling school, a little more c**t” is going to become my personal imaginary runway mantra 🤣🤣
I mean, the moment Bethany told Tyra, "I really want y'all to focus on my talent and not my boobs," I knew she was going. You can't say anything negative to Tyra about how she judges the models, no matter how absolutely correct that advice is.
Bethany did confirmed that in her interview with Oliver TwiXt, and she also mentioned Tyra was a bit mean to her during that session which they didn't show; that's why Bethany made that annoyed face at the end.
Fun fact: jenascia(the girl who overslept) woke up before anyone else bc they had to shave their whole bodies. When she was done she had one hour left before everyone had to wake up, so she went back to sleep but she didn’t hear her alarm. 🤦🏻♀️ “I’ll sleep ## more mins.” is dangerous lol. Lastly, jenascia said she reconciled with April but they never showed that, plus when the girls were on the elevator ready to go, april said to go back up bc jenascia was missing BUT the production crew didn’t let her.
@@XMuvatokyo she was interviewed by oliver twixt, who has interviewed several ex-contestants already. The body shaving was because of the naked with paint photoshoot 😅
The irony of everyone screaming at Camille and calling her aggressive while she's perfectly calm. Seriously props to her because I don't know if I could've remained that calm. It's obviously jealousy and hateful editing. Maybe she shouldn't have talked back to the designer but I don't think she was being aggressive at all. These narratives are as troubling as always.
@@dacrayzblaze1 Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Years of conditioning have some people thinking the stereotype of "Angry black woman" is legit and every black woman. And it never ends well. I was watching a John Oliver special on Medical Bias (basically, medicine is made for straight, white, cis men. The basic knowledge of ALL medicine is based on THAT. For example, women were viewed as "men, but weaker and with pesky hormones", no lie. There was a study done in 2008 I believe, on the effects of environmental factors on Uterine Cancer.... All of the study participants were men. Just.. just ruminate on that one for a minute.) Anyhow, in this special, he was talking about how medical bias against women and minorities has led to many unnecessary deaths that could have easily been avoided if they just treated the patient like a normal human woman. One story in particular was a mid thirties, professional/business, black couple having their first kid. They weren't keen on giving her the necessary pain meds (because believe it or not, for a LONG time medical science believed that black people, especially black women, couldn't feel pain like their white contemporaries. Around the time of the Tuskegee Experiments, they were also experimenting on black women. Operating on them WITHOUT anesthesia. It's bad..) Anyhow, during the delivery, the mother kept saying something didn't feel right, she felt "Off". The nurses and doctors dismissed her claims, waived her off, and told her it's normal. She started panicking, but was afraid to demand they check her, for fear of them viewing her as "an aggressive black woman". Her husband was panicking too, pleading with the doctors to check her, but he too didn't advocate as hard as he could, because there was the threat of kicking "the aggressive black man out of the delivery room", and he wouldn't be able to help his wife at all, even in his limited capacity. In the end, she was bleeding internally, and because the staff ignored her and her husband, because they were too scared to be labeled Aggressive and thus written off further, she died during the delivery. It could have been prevented, it should have been prevented, but because of stupid stereotyping and systemic racism, that isn't even a one off case. America has some of the highest maternal mortality rates for a 1st world country. Black people regularly have to hold themselves back in order to avoid "scaring" fragile white people. Look at Central Park Karen. That guy was a consummate professional, calm through and through, yet Karen was screaming down the phone to the cops that he was threatening her, coming at her aggressively, and she "feared for her life". She KNEW that her claims could potentially get that man killed, and she didn't care. Most people sided with him, but I guarantee that if he rightfully told her to Fuck Off, that public opinion wouldn't be so clear cut. Obviously, no race, gender or sexuality is a monolith, but to pretend it isn't happening would be egregious.
Every girl who has done interviews after this season has expressed how exhausting, rude and negative Camille was at the time. How she would walk around in underwear so they couldn’t film when it wasn’t about her etc
Yoanna is... Such a sneaky person that hides behind 'wanting peace and good vibes', while she stirs the pot the most! Left such an unpleasant feeling after this episode.
When I rewatched the season as an older woman I found Yoanna increasingly unlikable and fake. I'm pretty sure she's been in an MLM since leaving the show. Not surprised.
14:40 Jay Alexander " A little less modeling school and a little more current." The multiple attempts you took at trying to figure it out had me lol'ing
Camille comes off as a bit of a know-it-all, but I don't get bad vibes from her. She seems just very enthusiastic about what she's doing. Yoana on the other hand strikes me as the type of person who works in a holistic shop selling crystals and spends her nights telling everyone that if they can't cure their depression by huffing oils then they're just not trying hard enough.
And the shop is a pyramid scheme that she made a lot of money with because she joined early so she is all about that girlboss vibe while all her recruits sit on unsold stock
I’m glad you’re calling out Camille’s treatment. She had the angry black woman edit and I could never understand Yoanna problem with her. Yeah she might have been a bit intense but she was right, it was a competition and she wanted to win
I was going to make this point. Watching the series the first time around I wasn't sensitive to it and I was obsessed with Yoanna's face and didn't care for Camille's (something about her eyebrows), but this time around I'm really noticing with reality shows in general and ANTM in particular, light-handed demonizing of black participants seems to be par for course.
Yea as an adult I loathe yoanna. She was doing the most because what? Camille didn’t want to be besties? Cause Camille was confident? It’s so gross to look back and see the edit on Camille
I was literally 6 when I first watched this and I remember thinking the same thing back then 🤦♀️ some girls are just rude for no reason. People should praise others confidence as that’s something I definitely wish I had 💖
She’s always seemed manipulative to me and very very fake. Usually manipulative women do that with other women they view as competition and has a strong personality so everyone will believe their lies!
I remembered from Jenascia's interview with Oliver TwiXt how even Jenascia realized that Yoanna was the problem, not Camille and she reached out to Camille and apologized for basically antagonizing her, and I really respect and appreciate that.
"Yoanna's walking down the runway in those purple tights and hateful shoes, teaching art at the gnome school". Luxeria, you are just brilliant. I am howling.
Katie is the youngest yet does the mature thing and wants everything out in the open, while Yoanna is in her mid-twenties and being sneaky and talking badly about someone behind their back. Go Katie!
Being 5. 1 I hate how companies say they are body inclusive but all their models are still above average height. As a naturally curvy 5.1 women I NEVER see anyone like me. Shout out to my fellow short peeps, you are fabulous too! 🥰
Hell yeah! I'm 5'1 too and I hate it when people who are 5'6, etc. are described as short. That's average height in many places haha. Short people including people shorter than us deserve representation too.
Yep, I'm constantly harping on the US average female height is 5'4", because I hear SO many 5'5" and 5'6" ladies saying they're short (and always as if it's a negative thing 🤔). I'm ALMOST 4'11", so it drives me absolutely crazy!
i think sometimes it depends on location too? I'm Scandinavian and I'm 166 cm (i think that's just over 5'5, maybe 5'6) and still below the official average height for a woman in my country, but I definitely don't go around saying I'm "super short" unless it's around my taller friends who think it's funny (a lot of the women i know are 175+ cm and I have several friends who are 185-190 as well so it's kind of a running joke that I'm absolutely tiny despite being on the short side of average)
The way being unhealthily underweight was so celebrated and pushed in the early 2000s is soo shocking to look back on! Watching this show as a kid must’ve messed us all up haha
Girl I was 120 lbs and 17 and my mom said I could go on the show if I lost 20 lbs. And it wasn't a dig at me, it was a dig at how freaking skinny they expect you to be. But it did affect me as a teen, I thought I was too big. So much more confident now, in my 30s not gaf
Also, way to shut down dreams for shorter women. My 5'5 height might as well have been dwarf-sized. All I learned from this show is that I could never succeed in the business.
The angry black woman stereotype in this episode made me angry; Camille was just competitive and she wanted to win. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that. And the models going ALONE to the guy’s house…that’s right out of a Law & Order: SVU plot, no thanks. That made my stomach turn.
I was listening to this in the back ground and didn't catch that part I was searching the comment after backing it up to see if I heard right when he said back to my house. The way he said it sent chills down my spine.
So off topic, but I had a Doctors appointment on Monday. I was left in examination room #1 and boredom settled in. I began singing "I'm #1 and I've got gout!" A nurse walking past the room peeked in to see if I was okay and asked if I thought I had gout, or did I learn that on RUclips 😂 She's subscribed to your channel. Hopefully she'll see my comment.
In the kindest way possible… Shandi performed terribly, and if she wasn’t so so so thin (and therefore) so clearly model potential she would have been first out for sure.
I don’t know but it’s giving racism and micro aggression for me…I can’t believe they treat Camille so horribly! It’s a shame! They really wanted to destroy her self confidence!
My mom was a model and I remember I was super nervous for my first day of middle school. She told me when I was nervous for anything to walk in like a model, wear a small heel if appropriate cause it helps, and hold your head up high. We had a fun time practicing all day and watching this show. One of my favorite memories. I still do this every time I'm nervous. Though now I find myself doing it anytime I'm walking to good runway music and get really into it when my friends are around.
I'm only halfway through watching but Catie seems nice. I like that she's genuine. She wondered whether it would be appropriate to make Camille aware of what she'd been told, and she wanted to have everyone ACTUALLY communicate and resolve the issue. She wasn't afraid to just go ahead and address it rather than everyone still having this elephant in the room and making it weird.
The way they came at Camille was so unnecessary. They were so threatened by her. It's funny they called her basically passive aggressive and sneaky when that's exactly what they were doing by trying to make her look bad and telling Catie all this stuff about how she's going to steal the spotlight and screw her over or whatever.
This show was definitely a trigger show for me. Without realizing it most of the time, I used it to trigger me when I fell into my e.d. hard at 13-16 years old. I look back at it now and very much see it so clearly. Thankfully I am not drowning that disordered world anymore (2.5 years of legit recovery, and never looking back!) and finally got a grip. Now I just see this show so so differently because my brain isn't on that disorder spiral anymore. It's refreshing to see it for the insanity that it actually is now.
@@forestrot666 I have a friend still in her ED and I've seen how it's been like a tornado through her life. I am so so glad that you were able to break free from it, identify triggers and are in a much healthier place mentally. Sadly EDs are on the rise and it's not until shows like this make some heavy modifications or are banned, the constant stream of TV diet adverts are banned/reduced/restricted to what they can and can't do/say, and crackdowns on sites like insta to stop promoting pro ED content and things like diets then cases of EDs won't stop rising. We need to have a shift in culture too because in society so much focus is put on size, there needs to be much more of a shift towards promoting body acceptance, good mental health practices and self love. There's been a trial school in England/Wales where they've actually put mental health professionals in schools full time and do classes regularly on mental health. It's still in it's early days but it has had some amazing results so far with the wellbeing, focus and mental health of its students. We need to provide support for young people when they're at their most vulnerable. It's even helping to improve attendance and increased the number of people passing their core GCSEs. I'm so proud of you, I wish you a bright and happy future! 😊
Deep memory unlocked!! Does anyone else remember the show ‘The Look for Less’ in 2002 where Yoanna was the host?? I was charmed by her on that so she was my automatic favorite when cycle 2 came out. But now watching it back as an adult, she also rubbed me wrong.. eek And Luxeria you’re so adorable, Jay Alexander said ‘current’ not the other c word 😆
According to google: Miss Jay rose to prominence in this field when he coached supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Kimora Lee Simmons. He has also worked with models Nadja Auermann, Claudia Mason and Julia Stegner. (Used male pronouns as this seems to be preferred.)
Shandi is 100% underweight here. She weighed in at 106 pounds and is 5'10"!!!! A quick Google search says that for her height, a healthy weight would be 132-167 lbs. So scary that this is what we were taught growing up.
I'm 5'10" and at my skinniest I weighed about 145 lb and honestly that looked really disgusting on me like I had ribs and collarbone sticking out and people seriously thought I had an eating disorder even though I didn't. I was within the healthy recommended weight guidelines but it honestly looked terrible. I can't imagine being 106 pounds at that height.
@@SavaFiend With respect, hearing words like ‘disgusting’ used about people who are skinny also isn’t helpful. I’m naturally skinny and I’ve had people make remarks like this about me all my life, to my face and behind my back. I’ve had to work really hard to be ok with how I am.
When I first watched this back when it was on tv, I was 13 and incredibly ignorant and hated Camille. WOW do I see her completely different now. I'm sure a lot of my opinions of her stemmed from systemic racism that I didn't know I was participating in. Glad that I have grown since then and will keep on growing. Thank you for reviewing this series!
Also heard (🦢) first... realized it was "current". Same boat here, @Kristen Mully! Also, this Top Scandal audio quality will NOT be making it to the pagent.
As u kept playing it back I was trying to tell u GIRL it's current he's saying current not C U Next Tuesday...although I do think it would've been a hell of a lot better if be did 🤣....and your reaction to thinkin that was what he said was absolutely positively perfect 👏
When I was younger I was so anti-Camille, but when I watched it the next time a decade later, I definitely saw that Yoanna was more of the villain in this episode. Alot of Yoanna's anger and blowing up may have been stemmed from her own insecurities.
"in those hideous shoes and purple tights teaching art at the gnome - school" comment had me laughing so loud, I woke my partner up from a sound sleep. Thank you! Love 💞 it
The mythical Steph Utech of lore!! I assume you're such a cool person based on the amount of times I hear your name weekly. That Patreon is payin off LOL
I watched this when it came out and I did not remember Yoanna this way. She really was behaving like a "mean girl". However, like you said the show is not really about modeling and more about drama and screen time. Maybe Yoanna understood this and created drama because she wanted to be featured. Or, maybe she was threatened by Camille and was trying to get everyone else to gang up on her. It's a scandal girls!
I have had two weighing experiences in my life. When I was in P4 (I would have been seven or eight) the entire class was weighed to learn about grams, kg etc. All our weights were written on the board and guess who was the heaviest? Even now (I'm 23 now) I can see my name at the top of the board and how absolute garbage it made me feel. I was overweight when I was young but not when I was in P4. I was taller and heavier set in P4 but the weighing most definitely contributed to my putting on the weight later because I was made to feel that shit about it. Then in first year of High School (I was eleven) they did "health checks" that involved weighing once again. To give them some credit they weighed us privately. It was recommended that I go to what I jokingly call "fat camp" now but was actually a course on better eating and exercise. I was so humiliated, but I went and did the course with the group. The privacy in the weighing was pointless too because a boy in my class was sent there too so everyone in my class/year know I was there because he was much more popular and had more friends than me. These were all contributing factors to me having eating issues for the rest of my high school experience. I have a healthier relationship with food now. Not perfect, but much better, but nothing good comes from this type of thing, particularly at such a young age. I don't step on scales anymore. It puts me in a bad place. Absolutely teach a healthy relationship with food, exercise and mental health, but humiliation is not it. It never was going to be it. Weighing sucks, man.
Weighing in class makes no sense to me, to show everyone’s weight to the whole class is horrid. It’s as bad as showing your grade to the whole class because kids are viscous and will bully for things like that. It’s just common knowledge how mean kids are in school especially with physical aspects like weight. That should be private info. I’m sorry such things happened to you and hope you’re doing alright 💜 (Also Im confused- Eleven??? In high school?? 😵💫)
@@KingOfGaymes Exactly! And for years I justified it in my head with what the teacher said (oh it's to learn about weighing and maths and stuff) but no it's not right and nothing justifies it. But I am doing much better, thank you. The only thing that hasn't improved is my relationship with maths 😂 And yeah, I was eleven! I live in Northern Ireland so I started Primary School when I was six and entered high school when I was eleven. I was one of the older kids too because I'm born in August. There's no middle school or anything it's just straight from primary school to high school.
@@KingOfGaymes in Quebec we also start high school at 11. I actually had a teacher who would hand out tests and assignments she had graded in order from highest to lowest so everyone could tell who got the highest mark and who got the lowest and everything in between. What a dumb ass I have no idea why she did that
Whew full stop the hateful and racist attitudes towards Camille are deeply uncomfortable and loud in this episode. Also ANTM has been known to have contestants or staff treat dark skinned black women on the show like absolute shit. Looking back on this show has been very eye opening to say the least.
Wow! After watching your video I have to say some facts to prove your points, because you are so great at reading between the lines🤩 1. That whole "Camille VS Yoanna" thing was pretty much made for the show. Jenascia stated that it was actually Yoanna who was pretty much hating on Camille. 2. Bethany said that she knew she was going to be eliminated because she found out that everything is scripted. Bethany was pretty much in position of "blond girl with big boobs". She also said that during the conversation with Tyra she did not give her any advices. When it comes to the picture they chose for her, She also said that she complained about the fact that there were better pictures (that part did not make it on official episode). 3. Shandi said that Tyra pretty much played on her insecurities the whole show to make her (Shandi) as the kind of shy girl who came from "ugly" to chic. Shandi actually called Tyra As*hole 🤣 aaaand there is much more tea....in next episodes 🙂
Funny how during the first runway walk at the beginning, only 3 or so of the girls wore just leotards and the others wore actual gowns. Notably, Shandi with them noting how skinny she is and Bethany talking about being voluptuous.
When I was a child, my cousin took modeling classes and made me practice with her for long hours until I did it perfectly as I was the model one. That made me walk slightly weirdly for the rest of my life. I low-key catwalk almost everywhere because I cannot not do it 😂 it's hideous.
I think this is a raw example of racism, not only other competitors are seeing Camille as the "Angry Black Woman", but also production is depicting her with this Sapphire Caricature vibe 🙄
I think a lot of the bullying- that's the only way of describing it- comes from the producers themselves. Sure, the contestants are catty as it is, at least plenty of them are, but we should never forget that the confessionals are the result of prodding. They will ask, point-blank, what you think about this and that person and if you are too nice, they will encourage you to say something nasty. This reinforces prejudices they may already have had, and it might even create some new ones. Once the girls realize the production is not just cool with but actually wants them to be "cutthroat", they go along with it, enthusiastically enough. Left to their own devices, I'm sure plenty of these feuds would spring up but they'd be fewer of them and odds are, not this virulent.
"She is not a 33!" Girls not understanding their band vs cup size. 🙄 I'm a 34 and so is my best friend. I'm a DDD and she's a B, maybe a C. Bethany could absolutely have the same band size as April.
Perfect birthday treat-a Luxeria ANTM upload ❤️ also the weight/plus size thing makes me think about Bridget Jones because I was a young teenager at the time and when a (perfectly normal sized) Bridget complained about being fat I just agreed because the movie indicated I should…? Absolutely toxic in retrospect, I’m glad things are getting better.
I didn't really see anything wrong about Camille's behaviour, maybe apart from how she responded to the fashion designer's critique of her walking. Yoanna, on the other hand, was a bit of a snake, and it might again be the editing, but her accusations of Camille appeared to be just her feeling threatened by another contestant. Yoanna did improve her walk pretty miraculously, though, from what Nigel described as clomping, to a half-decent model walk. My favourite this week was Mercedes. The way she styled those boots was absolutely stunning, she looked great on the runway, and managed to shine without any unnecessary drama.
so in roughly 2014-2016 my mom and i watched a bunch of ANTM together. we’d sit and binge a whole season together over a weekend while my stepdad was out fishing. (props to my mom for never letting me fall into a “im too fat and short” thought process during those watches, btw.) i remember some things about this episode, in particular! 1. all the talk about janacscia being 5’7 and too short is wild to me, someone who is is 5’7.5. it was a serious blow to my confidence in my early teen years to hear janice basically shittalk her for it. also the weights and measurements bit made me feel awful as a kid and still does now 🫠 2. its interesting to me how many people are saying they originally sides with yoanna when they watched this ep back in the day. maybe it’s because we watched it a decade after airing, but both my mom and i thought she was pretty manipulative. i remember thinking she seemed like the people who bullied me in school - always talk about how they hate drama and negativity, only to be the biggest source of it. considering that was my thought when i was fourteen, i think the description of it being “high school” is extremely apt. 3. my mom’s biggest gripe has always been exactly what you were talking about with the lack of teaching. they claim to be teaching them how to be models but there’s never actually any TEACHING happening. its just telling them what theyre doing wrong without explaining how to do better. it drives us both insane and it was very comforting to know someone else had that gripe too. 4. let’s be honest. if shandi didnt have the super thin, “model” body, she would have gone home instead of bethany. its stupid - bethany cant help her chest size, and all tyra did was say “you have to pose differently” without EVER explaining what that meant. me and my giant bazongas slap her on behalf of all large breasted women everywhere.
You said recently that 60% of your audience is US based and I genuinely wonder how they react to Peggy Mitchell suddenly popping up and shouting “Get outta my PUB!!”
When I first watched this I actually really sided with Yoanna, but I think it may be due to my own self-confidence issues that I saw what she saw. Watching it now, it's so clear that Yoanna had a lot of self-esteem issues and Camille understood that and was like "That's on you" and I respect it.
I laughed that you are listening to it so closely that you missed the word “current” and thought Miss Jay said the C word. The line was “less modelling school, and a little more current.” I got very creepy vibes from that designer and Katie and how he’s like kissing her cheek automatically and trying to give her a ring on that finger… it’s a vibe I got. She’s very pretty and blonde and in that day that was very stressed as the “goals”
I needed your vibrant personality and jokes Lux! I’m recovering from having some knee surgery and being bed/house bound for the last week has got me down a little mentally. Nothing better than an hour of commentary from you to lift me up some💗💗
Currently re-binging your series watch playlists because I started watching ANTM for giggles and it’s simply better with your commentary. I also briefly forgot Nigel’s actual last name because it’s now Basqueesh in my mind.
Here is the problem with accusing someone of something without proof. We will never know if Camille would have actually tried to upstage Catie. Either, a) she was never going to or b) now that you've drawn attention to it she won't just to spite you. If Yoanna had just bit her tongue and kept it to herself Camille may have proven her right but now she's been vindicated regardless of her actual intentions. The best way to beat someone is to give them enough rope to hang themselves, don't try and force it because horrible people will reveal themselves very quickly.
I‘ve always wondered how you name the little clips you put inbetween some sequences so you can distinguish them? Roly_dead_body, Dr_Dubrowlift_crying_baby, Ramsay_that_is_disgusting? :D
Omg Lux what a treat! I’m having a bad day and this perked up my mood immediately. I was up and down all night with my dog who kept needing to go out (upset tummy) and a few days ago I got my hand slammed in a car door so it’s been sore. So I’m feeling quite down and needed a pick me up. ❤️
I just love lux's binoculars 🤣 I so need a pair in my life 😁 lux you need to do more videos because I literally binge watch your content 💕 can't get enough! Love your channel 💞
I remember when I was a teen and watching this series and I would compare how small I was to how small they were and measure and weigh myself all the time... it was so toxic! I was only 100-105 lbs. And I still thought my stomach was too big.
Im in a bit of a similar situation, I’m 104 and idk why but my stomach seems to jut out, it really shows from the side and it makes me feel awful 😭 I’m small so it’s not like a weight thing.. so Idk what to do about it, I just wish I could fix it
@@KingOfGaymes if it's just below your bellybutton, it's not meant to be flat because that's where your uterus is. If it's your whole belly, it could be bloating from a food intolerance or hormones. Some of that can be prevented by having more water, and cutting out dairy if you're lactose intolerant, or getting a test to find other diet intolerances. Check out Stephanie Lange's content on normal body variances.
Not everywhere, but I definitely do find myself walking the catwalk in everyday life, especially when I’m listening to music and walking down long hallways
I thought they were trying to plant an eating disorder angle with that very thin model at first. But the whole drama around Camille feels like yet another attempt at framing a confident black woman as angry and aggressive.
This episode seemed to be edited to make Camille look bad, but I think it was edited in a way to make Yoanna look bad. Twas a red herring all along! The editing is kind to no-one, who knows how much of their interactions we never got to see.
I would LOVE to see Luxeria cover 'Manhunt' from 2004. It was, of course, one of the many competitive reality shows that took "inspiration" from 'America's Next Top Model.' Fun fact one of Janice Dickinson's top male models from her "modelling agency", John Stallings, was on that show as well. It's where that "Kevin, your dog just died" meme came from
watching this 20 years later has given me a new perspective. I think I skipped a lot of what happened in each episode. I never thought Yohanna was this bad but wow the drama with these girls.
The way this episode went has me really crossing my fingers that they're not going to play the "villain Camille" plot thread straight and instead show that Yoanna was the manipulator all along...but I really can't trust these shows to promote emotional complexity, intelligence, and nuance like that and I'm worried that Camille will be portrayed as genuinely bad.
hahahaha, loving catwalking everywhere - I do too. Especially a long corridor, bridge, clear straight football, I'm always strutting pretending I'm on a runway. I also grew up watching ANTM, must have been implanted in our brains through the episodes!!
After a stressful April I missed the last 3 weeks of videos! Just got to the end of my 7 video Lux binge, so now I’m onto Roly’s 😅😂 Feels great to be able to watch again, can’t wait for the next great video!!
Luxeria!!! So @11:33, I did some snooping and it turns out that Miss J earned their fame by coaching supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Kimora Lee Simmons. I found that very interesting! (also, at around @16:00, look at how all of their wardrobe changes!!! It was all edited in the strangest way, and definitely used Camille's laughs for a catty storyline!
Jay A said “A little less modelling school, a little more current.”
That being said, “A little less modelling school, a little more c**t” is going to become my personal imaginary runway mantra 🤣🤣
In 2022 that would have been exactly what he said 😂
I thought he was saying a little more kind 😂 but current makes way more sense
@@Thegoddessofgreen lol same 😂
😹😹😹😹💀
That makes more sense. I thought he was saying "...a little more kind." which made no sense.
They're not going to name drop with Jay Alexander because he trained Naomi Campbell and Tyra would never allow that lol
I mean, the moment Bethany told Tyra, "I really want y'all to focus on my talent and not my boobs," I knew she was going. You can't say anything negative to Tyra about how she judges the models, no matter how absolutely correct that advice is.

The irony of everyone screaming at Camille and calling her aggressive while she's perfectly calm. Seriously props to her because I don't know if I could've remained that calm. It's obviously jealousy and hateful editing. Maybe she shouldn't have talked back to the designer but I don't think she was being aggressive at all. These narratives are as troubling as always.
It's also racism
For real I felt so bad for her having a gang of crazy ladies yelling at her but I’m glad she kept her composure and spoke her truth
@@dacrayzblaze1 Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Years of conditioning have some people thinking the stereotype of "Angry black woman" is legit and every black woman. And it never ends well. I was watching a John Oliver special on Medical Bias (basically, medicine is made for straight, white, cis men. The basic knowledge of ALL medicine is based on THAT. For example, women were viewed as "men, but weaker and with pesky hormones", no lie. There was a study done in 2008 I believe, on the effects of environmental factors on Uterine Cancer.... All of the study participants were men. Just.. just ruminate on that one for a minute.)
Anyhow, in this special, he was talking about how medical bias against women and minorities has led to many unnecessary deaths that could have easily been avoided if they just treated the patient like a normal human woman. One story in particular was a mid thirties, professional/business, black couple having their first kid. They weren't keen on giving her the necessary pain meds (because believe it or not, for a LONG time medical science believed that black people, especially black women, couldn't feel pain like their white contemporaries. Around the time of the Tuskegee Experiments, they were also experimenting on black women. Operating on them WITHOUT anesthesia. It's bad..) Anyhow, during the delivery, the mother kept saying something didn't feel right, she felt "Off". The nurses and doctors dismissed her claims, waived her off, and told her it's normal. She started panicking, but was afraid to demand they check her, for fear of them viewing her as "an aggressive black woman". Her husband was panicking too, pleading with the doctors to check her, but he too didn't advocate as hard as he could, because there was the threat of kicking "the aggressive black man out of the delivery room", and he wouldn't be able to help his wife at all, even in his limited capacity.
In the end, she was bleeding internally, and because the staff ignored her and her husband, because they were too scared to be labeled Aggressive and thus written off further, she died during the delivery. It could have been prevented, it should have been prevented, but because of stupid stereotyping and systemic racism, that isn't even a one off case. America has some of the highest maternal mortality rates for a 1st world country. Black people regularly have to hold themselves back in order to avoid "scaring" fragile white people. Look at Central Park Karen. That guy was a consummate professional, calm through and through, yet Karen was screaming down the phone to the cops that he was threatening her, coming at her aggressively, and she "feared for her life". She KNEW that her claims could potentially get that man killed, and she didn't care. Most people sided with him, but I guarantee that if he rightfully told her to Fuck Off, that public opinion wouldn't be so clear cut.
Obviously, no race, gender or sexuality is a monolith, but to pretend it isn't happening would be egregious.
I didn't see it as talking back, I saw it like "I did this because I'm trying to take the advice I'm being given."
Every girl who has done interviews after this season has expressed how exhausting, rude and negative Camille was at the time. How she would walk around in underwear so they couldn’t film when it wasn’t about her etc
Yoanna is... Such a sneaky person that hides behind 'wanting peace and good vibes', while she stirs the pot the most! Left such an unpleasant feeling after this episode.
When I rewatched the season as an older woman I found Yoanna increasingly unlikable and fake. I'm pretty sure she's been in an MLM since leaving the show. Not surprised.
Toxic positivity

@@emilytwisp7721 that’s not really toxic positivity.. that’s just talking behind peoples backs and being fake
@@KingOfGaymes ok
14:40 Jay Alexander " A little less modeling school and a little more current."
The multiple attempts you took at trying to figure it out had me lol'ing
I thought he was saying "kind!" 🤣😂
@@jcfreak2007 I thought he said kind too haha. But on the last go, I realised it was 'current.'
SAME! I heard 'current' immediately, so I thought it was extra funny that Luxie heard 'c***' 🤣
Camille comes off as a bit of a know-it-all, but I don't get bad vibes from her. She seems just very enthusiastic about what she's doing. Yoana on the other hand strikes me as the type of person who works in a holistic shop selling crystals and spends her nights telling everyone that if they can't cure their depression by huffing oils then they're just not trying hard enough.
Perfeeeeeect comment
Yessss, shes giving rich vegan mommy blogger
And the shop is a pyramid scheme that she made a lot of money with because she joined early so she is all about that girlboss vibe while all her recruits sit on unsold stock
@@notthingofnote If that's not exactly what she's doing in the 'where are they now' bit I'll be shocked. XD
I checked out her Instagram some time ago and I'm pretty sure she's been in an MLM. So.
I’m glad you’re calling out Camille’s treatment. She had the angry black woman edit and I could never understand Yoanna problem with her. Yeah she might have been a bit intense but she was right, it was a competition and she wanted to win
I was going to make this point. Watching the series the first time around I wasn't sensitive to it and I was obsessed with Yoanna's face and didn't care for Camille's (something about her eyebrows), but this time around I'm really noticing with reality shows in general and ANTM in particular, light-handed demonizing of black participants seems to be par for course.
Yoanna was def projecting her insecureties onto Camille
She even replied soft spoken imo... I didn't find her agresive at all despite of their editing
Yea as an adult I loathe yoanna. She was doing the most because what? Camille didn’t want to be besties? Cause Camille was confident? It’s so gross to look back and see the edit on Camille
I was literally 6 when I first watched this and I remember thinking the same thing back then 🤦♀️ some girls are just rude for no reason. People should praise others confidence as that’s something I definitely wish I had 💖
Yolana is a mastermind, she managed to manipulate 8 people into thinking that Camille would do something that hadn’t even happened
Yoanna
Yoanna’s imagination and hallucinations of Camille was just beyond insanity.
She’s always seemed manipulative to me and very very fake. Usually manipulative women do that with other women they view as competition and has a strong personality so everyone will believe their lies!
I remembered from Jenascia's interview with Oliver TwiXt how even Jenascia realized that Yoanna was the problem, not Camille and she reached out to Camille and apologized for basically antagonizing her, and I really respect and appreciate that.
Did you also see yoanna’s interview with him?
@Am2 Yes, I did. And I wasn't feeling it.
@@devontamosley4487 exactly. Very meticulous, she’s got a degree girls
"Yoanna's walking down the runway in those purple tights and hateful shoes, teaching art at the gnome school".
Luxeria, you are just brilliant. I am howling.
Katie is the youngest yet does the mature thing and wants everything out in the open, while Yoanna is in her mid-twenties and being sneaky and talking badly about someone behind their back. Go Katie!
For LGBTQ people a narrow hallway can be one of 2 things, a high fashion runway or you're going to die in a horror movie, either way it's fierce
Janice Dickinson clocking someone for a "pinched face" is the ultimate pot/kettle call I'm dead
Being 5. 1 I hate how companies say they are body inclusive but all their models are still above average height. As a naturally curvy 5.1 women I NEVER see anyone like me. Shout out to my fellow short peeps, you are fabulous too! 🥰
Thank you!!!! Short curvy girl club!!! Lol
Hell yeah! I'm 5'1 too and I hate it when people who are 5'6, etc. are described as short. That's average height in many places haha. Short people including people shorter than us deserve representation too.
Yes!!🔥🔥
Yep, I'm constantly harping on the US average female height is 5'4", because I hear SO many 5'5" and 5'6" ladies saying they're short (and always as if it's a negative thing 🤔). I'm ALMOST 4'11", so it drives me absolutely crazy!
i think sometimes it depends on location too? I'm Scandinavian and I'm 166 cm (i think that's just over 5'5, maybe 5'6) and still below the official average height for a woman in my country, but I definitely don't go around saying I'm "super short" unless it's around my taller friends who think it's funny (a lot of the women i know are 175+ cm and I have several friends who are 185-190 as well so it's kind of a running joke that I'm absolutely tiny despite being on the short side of average)
The way being unhealthily underweight was so celebrated and pushed in the early 2000s is soo shocking to look back on! Watching this show as a kid must’ve messed us all up haha
Probably caused by the whole low waist Jean and cropped shirt trend going on then. I pray low waist never comes back.
@@rabidburrito6906 I heard that it might and I'm just like, "Please, no, I don't need to see anyone's ass crack"
Girl I was 120 lbs and 17 and my mom said I could go on the show if I lost 20 lbs. And it wasn't a dig at me, it was a dig at how freaking skinny they expect you to be. But it did affect me as a teen, I thought I was too big. So much more confident now, in my 30s not gaf
Also, way to shut down dreams for shorter women. My 5'5 height might as well have been dwarf-sized. All I learned from this show is that I could never succeed in the business.
@@rabidburrito6906 oh it is coming back and so is the whale tale. Ooooeee! 😂 I have seen it walking around again.
He said current but *GOOSE HONK* is much more hilarious.
😂😂
World peace looks like all of us around the globe shouting “current!” at our screens simultaneously. It’s the new kumbaya.
"Scandal girl" has become part of my regular vocabulary. My toddler always laughs when I say it 😂
The angry black woman stereotype in this episode made me angry; Camille was just competitive and she wanted to win. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that. And the models going ALONE to the guy’s house…that’s right out of a Law & Order: SVU plot, no thanks. That made my stomach turn.
I was listening to this in the back ground and didn't catch that part I was searching the comment after backing it up to see if I heard right when he said back to my house. The way he said it sent chills down my spine.
Lol, the cameras were there… I think production all knew where the girls were going and with who.
So off topic, but I had a Doctors appointment on Monday. I was left in examination room #1 and boredom settled in. I began singing "I'm #1 and I've got gout!" A nurse walking past the room peeked in to see if I was okay and asked if I thought I had gout, or did I learn that on RUclips 😂 She's subscribed to your channel. Hopefully she'll see my comment.
Lmao
In the kindest way possible… Shandi performed terribly, and if she wasn’t so so so thin (and therefore) so clearly model potential she would have been first out for sure.
the microaggressions against camile in this episode are too much. It's honestly painful to watch this show in 2022
I don’t know but it’s giving racism and micro aggression for me…I can’t believe they treat Camille so horribly! It’s a shame! They really wanted to destroy her self confidence!
My mom was a model and I remember I was super nervous for my first day of middle school. She told me when I was nervous for anything to walk in like a model, wear a small heel if appropriate cause it helps, and hold your head up high. We had a fun time practicing all day and watching this show. One of my favorite memories.
I still do this every time I'm nervous. Though now I find myself doing it anytime I'm walking to good runway music and get really into it when my friends are around.
Looking absolutely STUNNING Luxeria, loving the ice white hair ❤️
Thankyou!!
I'm only halfway through watching but Catie seems nice. I like that she's genuine. She wondered whether it would be appropriate to make Camille aware of what she'd been told, and she wanted to have everyone ACTUALLY communicate and resolve the issue. She wasn't afraid to just go ahead and address it rather than everyone still having this elephant in the room and making it weird.
LMAO LUX. Miss jay said, "Make it less modeling school and a little bit more current"! 😂🤣
Was about to write this 😂💕
There it is! Hahahaha I'm currently on that part
Ooooh, I thought maybe he said kind, lol.
Thanks!
'C*NT' on the brain Lux! hahaha x
@@personreviewslife enjoy. Just got done!! Wish there was more!!😪
The way they came at Camille was so unnecessary. They were so threatened by her. It's funny they called her basically passive aggressive and sneaky when that's exactly what they were doing by trying to make her look bad and telling Catie all this stuff about how she's going to steal the spotlight and screw her over or whatever.
Camille is the most beautiful one in my opinion.
Someone's weight and measurements shouldn't be broadcasted on national TV. It can literally fuel an ED.
It feels so wrong
@@Luxeria My heart hurts to think of how many EDs this show fuelled. We can only hope that people are doing better now.
This show was definitely a trigger show for me. Without realizing it most of the time, I used it to trigger me when I fell into my e.d. hard at 13-16 years old. I look back at it now and very much see it so clearly. Thankfully I am not drowning that disordered world anymore (2.5 years of legit recovery, and never looking back!) and finally got a grip. Now I just see this show so so differently because my brain isn't on that disorder spiral anymore. It's refreshing to see it for the insanity that it actually is now.
@@forestrot666 I have a friend still in her ED and I've seen how it's been like a tornado through her life. I am so so glad that you were able to break free from it, identify triggers and are in a much healthier place mentally. Sadly EDs are on the rise and it's not until shows like this make some heavy modifications or are banned, the constant stream of TV diet adverts are banned/reduced/restricted to what they can and can't do/say, and crackdowns on sites like insta to stop promoting pro ED content and things like diets then cases of EDs won't stop rising. We need to have a shift in culture too because in society so much focus is put on size, there needs to be much more of a shift towards promoting body acceptance, good mental health practices and self love. There's been a trial school in England/Wales where they've actually put mental health professionals in schools full time and do classes regularly on mental health. It's still in it's early days but it has had some amazing results so far with the wellbeing, focus and mental health of its students. We need to provide support for young people when they're at their most vulnerable. It's even helping to improve attendance and increased the number of people passing their core GCSEs. I'm so proud of you, I wish you a bright and happy future! 😊
Deep memory unlocked!! Does anyone else remember the show ‘The Look for Less’ in 2002 where Yoanna was the host?? I was charmed by her on that so she was my automatic favorite when cycle 2 came out. But now watching it back as an adult, she also rubbed me wrong.. eek
And Luxeria you’re so adorable, Jay Alexander said ‘current’ not the other c word 😆
yea but we all know he was thinking c u next Tuesday
Yoanna was easily my favorite back then but now it’s probably Camille. I feel like they wanted Yoanna to be Elise 2.0 lol
Omg yes! That was before we had YT I remember watching that. Wow I feel old haha
Part of me really wonders what happens at these parties. There's a power dynamic, and we know what that does.
Yeah it gives me an uneasy feeling.
Usually drinking, snacking, mind numbing conversation, and networking. It’s not all crimes and trafficking.
Agreed, anytime they say "come to my house" I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
@@kissit012 But it's still a vulnerable position given the power dynamic and how they're made to feel grateful that they're there.
According to google: Miss Jay rose to prominence in this field when he coached supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Kimora Lee Simmons. He has also worked with models Nadja Auermann, Claudia Mason and Julia Stegner. (Used male pronouns as this seems to be preferred.)
Naomi Campbell lol funny
Shandi is 100% underweight here. She weighed in at 106 pounds and is 5'10"!!!! A quick Google search says that for her height, a healthy weight would be 132-167 lbs. So scary that this is what we were taught growing up.
I hope she did not have an eating disorder, and if she did that she was able to overcome it
Definitely underweight for her height. However, she does seem to have quite the slight frame and may just be naturally very thin
I'm 5'10" and at my skinniest I weighed about 145 lb and honestly that looked really disgusting on me like I had ribs and collarbone sticking out and people seriously thought I had an eating disorder even though I didn't. I was within the healthy recommended weight guidelines but it honestly looked terrible. I can't imagine being 106 pounds at that height.
She used to be a meth addict, that and just a small frame and natural thinness could be why shes thin
@@SavaFiend With respect, hearing words like ‘disgusting’ used about people who are skinny also isn’t helpful. I’m naturally skinny and I’ve had people make remarks like this about me all my life, to my face and behind my back. I’ve had to work really hard to be ok with how I am.
When I first watched this back when it was on tv, I was 13 and incredibly ignorant and hated Camille. WOW do I see her completely different now. I'm sure a lot of my opinions of her stemmed from systemic racism that I didn't know I was participating in. Glad that I have grown since then and will keep on growing. Thank you for reviewing this series!
Hearing Shandi call Missouri "Misurruh" made me flash back to my childhood in Kansas when people would call it Misurruh or Misery to dunk on it.
Ms Jay said modelling school more current - that’s what I heard (not what you thought) 😂
OH MY GOSH!! That’s what it is!
Came here to type this ^ LOL love it
@@ayokryss Same! 😂
Also heard (🦢) first... realized it was "current". Same boat here, @Kristen Mully!
Also, this Top Scandal audio quality will NOT be making it to the pagent.
As u kept playing it back I was trying to tell u GIRL it's current he's saying current not C U Next Tuesday...although I do think it would've been a hell of a lot better if be did 🤣....and your reaction to thinkin that was what he said was absolutely positively perfect 👏
When I was younger I was so anti-Camille, but when I watched it the next time a decade later, I definitely saw that Yoanna was more of the villain in this episode. Alot of Yoanna's anger and blowing up may have been stemmed from her own insecurities.
"in those hideous shoes and purple tights teaching art at the gnome - school" comment had me laughing so loud, I woke my partner up from a sound sleep. Thank you! Love 💞 it
Yoanna is edited as a rly complicated person, but nobody can deny she has a gorgeous face
The line is "less modelling school; a little more current," Lux!😂

@@yesterdaydream LOL Mythical! Thank you, that is very kind of you to say, I don't think anyone has ever called me cool before 😂
I watched this when it came out and I did not remember Yoanna this way. She really was behaving like a "mean girl". However, like you said the show is not really about modeling and more about drama and screen time. Maybe Yoanna understood this and created drama because she wanted to be featured. Or, maybe she was threatened by Camille and was trying to get everyone else to gang up on her. It's a scandal girls!
I have had two weighing experiences in my life. When I was in P4 (I would have been seven or eight) the entire class was weighed to learn about grams, kg etc. All our weights were written on the board and guess who was the heaviest? Even now (I'm 23 now) I can see my name at the top of the board and how absolute garbage it made me feel. I was overweight when I was young but not when I was in P4. I was taller and heavier set in P4 but the weighing most definitely contributed to my putting on the weight later because I was made to feel that shit about it.
Then in first year of High School (I was eleven) they did "health checks" that involved weighing once again. To give them some credit they weighed us privately. It was recommended that I go to what I jokingly call "fat camp" now but was actually a course on better eating and exercise. I was so humiliated, but I went and did the course with the group. The privacy in the weighing was pointless too because a boy in my class was sent there too so everyone in my class/year know I was there because he was much more popular and had more friends than me.
These were all contributing factors to me having eating issues for the rest of my high school experience. I have a healthier relationship with food now. Not perfect, but much better, but nothing good comes from this type of thing, particularly at such a young age. I don't step on scales anymore. It puts me in a bad place.
Absolutely teach a healthy relationship with food, exercise and mental health, but humiliation is not it. It never was going to be it. Weighing sucks, man.
Weighing in class makes no sense to me, to show everyone’s weight to the whole class is horrid. It’s as bad as showing your grade to the whole class because kids are viscous and will bully for things like that. It’s just common knowledge how mean kids are in school especially with physical aspects like weight. That should be private info.
I’m sorry such things happened to you and hope you’re doing alright 💜
(Also Im confused- Eleven??? In high school?? 😵💫)
@@KingOfGaymes Exactly! And for years I justified it in my head with what the teacher said (oh it's to learn about weighing and maths and stuff) but no it's not right and nothing justifies it. But I am doing much better, thank you. The only thing that hasn't improved is my relationship with maths 😂
And yeah, I was eleven! I live in Northern Ireland so I started Primary School when I was six and entered high school when I was eleven. I was one of the older kids too because I'm born in August. There's no middle school or anything it's just straight from primary school to high school.
Omg I have second hand trauma from this I am sooo sorry I think anyone would be traumatized if this happened to them
@@KingOfGaymes in Quebec we also start high school at 11. I actually had a teacher who would hand out tests and assignments she had graded in order from highest to lowest so everyone could tell who got the highest mark and who got the lowest and everything in between. What a dumb ass I have no idea why she did that
@@dollinterrupted I agree. I'd say I wasn't the only one affected by that day in class.
Whew full stop the hateful and racist attitudes towards Camille are deeply uncomfortable and loud in this episode. Also ANTM has been known to have contestants or staff treat dark skinned black women on the show like absolute shit. Looking back on this show has been very eye opening to say the least.
Did you ever see the clip when Tyra gave the picture of herself to Miley Cyrus for her birthday?
That's some peak narcissism. I love it.
Wow! After watching your video I have to say some facts to prove your points, because you are so great at reading between the lines🤩
1. That whole "Camille VS Yoanna" thing was pretty much made for the show. Jenascia stated that it was actually Yoanna who was pretty much hating on Camille.
2. Bethany said that she knew she was going to be eliminated because she found out that everything is scripted. Bethany was pretty much in position of "blond girl with big boobs". She also said that during the conversation with Tyra she did not give her any advices. When it comes to the picture they chose for her, She also said that she complained about the fact that there were better pictures (that part did not make it on official episode).
3. Shandi said that Tyra pretty much played on her insecurities the whole show to make her (Shandi) as the kind of shy girl who came from "ugly" to chic. Shandi actually called Tyra As*hole 🤣
aaaand there is much more tea....in next episodes 🙂
Funny how during the first runway walk at the beginning, only 3 or so of the girls wore just leotards and the others wore actual gowns. Notably, Shandi with them noting how skinny she is and Bethany talking about being voluptuous.
9:10 "YOU ARE NOT 34 AROUND YOUR BEWBS" cracks me up every single time.
When I was a child, my cousin took modeling classes and made me practice with her for long hours until I did it perfectly as I was the model one. That made me walk slightly weirdly for the rest of my life. I low-key catwalk almost everywhere because I cannot not do it 😂 it's hideous.
I think this is a raw example of racism, not only other competitors are seeing Camille as the "Angry Black Woman", but also production is depicting her with this Sapphire Caricature vibe 🙄
I think a lot of the bullying- that's the only way of describing it- comes from the producers themselves. Sure, the contestants are catty as it is, at least plenty of them are, but we should never forget that the confessionals are the result of prodding.
They will ask, point-blank, what you think about this and that person and if you are too nice, they will encourage you to say something nasty.
This reinforces prejudices they may already have had, and it might even create some new ones. Once the girls realize the production is not just cool with but actually wants them to be "cutthroat", they go along with it, enthusiastically enough.
Left to their own devices, I'm sure plenty of these feuds would spring up but they'd be fewer of them and odds are, not this virulent.
"She is not a 33!"
Girls not understanding their band vs cup size. 🙄 I'm a 34 and so is my best friend. I'm a DDD and she's a B, maybe a C. Bethany could absolutely have the same band size as April.
Perfect birthday treat-a Luxeria ANTM upload ❤️ also the weight/plus size thing makes me think about Bridget Jones because I was a young teenager at the time and when a (perfectly normal sized) Bridget complained about being fat I just agreed because the movie indicated I should…? Absolutely toxic in retrospect, I’m glad things are getting better.
I’d love a Lux reaction to Bridget Jones
I'm envious you pull off red lipstick flawlessly, I look like a backwoods wendigo when I try!
Not a wendigo! 😂🖤🖤
I didn't really see anything wrong about Camille's behaviour, maybe apart from how she responded to the fashion designer's critique of her walking. Yoanna, on the other hand, was a bit of a snake, and it might again be the editing, but her accusations of Camille appeared to be just her feeling threatened by another contestant. Yoanna did improve her walk pretty miraculously, though, from what Nigel described as clomping, to a half-decent model walk.
My favourite this week was Mercedes. The way she styled those boots was absolutely stunning, she looked great on the runway, and managed to shine without any unnecessary drama.
so in roughly 2014-2016 my mom and i watched a bunch of ANTM together. we’d sit and binge a whole season together over a weekend while my stepdad was out fishing. (props to my mom for never letting me fall into a “im too fat and short” thought process during those watches, btw.) i remember some things about this episode, in particular!
1. all the talk about janacscia being 5’7 and too short is wild to me, someone who is is 5’7.5. it was a serious blow to my confidence in my early teen years to hear janice basically shittalk her for it. also the weights and measurements bit made me feel awful as a kid and still does now 🫠
2. its interesting to me how many people are saying they originally sides with yoanna when they watched this ep back in the day. maybe it’s because we watched it a decade after airing, but both my mom and i thought she was pretty manipulative. i remember thinking she seemed like the people who bullied me in school - always talk about how they hate drama and negativity, only to be the biggest source of it. considering that was my thought when i was fourteen, i think the description of it being “high school” is extremely apt.
3. my mom’s biggest gripe has always been exactly what you were talking about with the lack of teaching. they claim to be teaching them how to be models but there’s never actually any TEACHING happening. its just telling them what theyre doing wrong without explaining how to do better. it drives us both insane and it was very comforting to know someone else had that gripe too.
4. let’s be honest. if shandi didnt have the super thin, “model” body, she would have gone home instead of bethany. its stupid - bethany cant help her chest size, and all tyra did was say “you have to pose differently” without EVER explaining what that meant. me and my giant bazongas slap her on behalf of all large breasted women everywhere.
Lux, J said current not c*nt 😂
Thank you for the upload, I enjoy these so much
"The winner will get... a Goiter!" I died five times in a row!!!! LOL!!!!!
I am not apart of the lgbt community… but I also love to runway walk everywhere possible. 🎅🏿
You said recently that 60% of your audience is US based and I genuinely wonder how they react to Peggy Mitchell suddenly popping up and shouting “Get outta my PUB!!”
I like it 😄
I don't know who that was but it still made me giggle lol
I wish ANTM would partner with STYLE EXPERTS Trinny and Suzanna for just one episode.
My mood automatically lifts when you post. Love you so much and that top is everything! X
Thankyou lovely!
Your editing and comedic timing was amazing lol
When I first watched this I actually really sided with Yoanna, but I think it may be due to my own self-confidence issues that I saw what she saw. Watching it now, it's so clear that Yoanna had a lot of self-esteem issues and Camille understood that and was like "That's on you" and I respect it.
"Do you want to hear Mommy's thoughts?" YES PLEASE Mommy BLESS US WITH YOUR THOUGHTS
I laughed that you are listening to it so closely that you missed the word “current” and thought Miss Jay said the C word. The line was “less modelling school, and a little more current.”
I got very creepy vibes from that designer and Katie and how he’s like kissing her cheek automatically and trying to give her a ring on that finger… it’s a vibe I got. She’s very pretty and blonde and in that day that was very stressed as the “goals”
I needed your vibrant personality and jokes Lux! I’m recovering from having some knee surgery and being bed/house bound for the last week has got me down a little mentally. Nothing better than an hour of commentary from you to lift me up some💗💗
Currently re-binging your series watch playlists because I started watching ANTM for giggles and it’s simply better with your commentary. I also briefly forgot Nigel’s actual last name because it’s now Basqueesh in my mind.
Camille should’ve said “I do put on a show it’s a fashion show “
I soooo love you and your sayings and take on these series. So excited when there’s a new upload 🥰👏🏼🥂
Thankyou lovely!
Fantastic timing Lux, I needed something to watch on my break 😁
Looking gorgeous as ever 😘
Thankyou lovely!
I was having a really shitty day but the “teaching art at the gnome school” comment sent me 😂 thank you!! ❤️
I'm so excited for another ANTSG! Watching while I get ready for work! Everyone have a great day!
You too gorgeous! 🖤🖤
Here is the problem with accusing someone of something without proof. We will never know if Camille would have actually tried to upstage Catie. Either, a) she was never going to or b) now that you've drawn attention to it she won't just to spite you. If Yoanna had just bit her tongue and kept it to herself Camille may have proven her right but now she's been vindicated regardless of her actual intentions. The best way to beat someone is to give them enough rope to hang themselves, don't try and force it because horrible people will reveal themselves very quickly.
I‘ve always wondered how you name the little clips you put inbetween some sequences so you can distinguish them?
Roly_dead_body, Dr_Dubrowlift_crying_baby, Ramsay_that_is_disgusting? :D
It’s LITERALLY that 😂😂😂
That‘s lovely 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who runway walks everywhere just in case I end up needing to prove that I can for some random reason.
Omg Lux what a treat! I’m having a bad day and this perked up my mood immediately. I was up and down all night with my dog who kept needing to go out (upset tummy) and a few days ago I got my hand slammed in a car door so it’s been sore. So I’m feeling quite down and needed a pick me up. ❤️
Oh my goodness! I hope your days get much brighter soon!
I hope your dog (and your hand, too!) will feel better soon! Xx
I just love lux's binoculars 🤣 I so need a pair in my life 😁 lux you need to do more videos because I literally binge watch your content 💕 can't get enough! Love your channel 💞
I remember when I was a teen and watching this series and I would compare how small I was to how small they were and measure and weigh myself all the time... it was so toxic! I was only 100-105 lbs. And I still thought my stomach was too big.
Im in a bit of a similar situation, I’m 104 and idk why but my stomach seems to jut out, it really shows from the side and it makes me feel awful 😭 I’m small so it’s not like a weight thing.. so Idk what to do about it, I just wish I could fix it
@@KingOfGaymes if it's just below your bellybutton, it's not meant to be flat because that's where your uterus is. If it's your whole belly, it could be bloating from a food intolerance or hormones. Some of that can be prevented by having more water, and cutting out dairy if you're lactose intolerant, or getting a test to find other diet intolerances.

"You need to be a little more likeable." 🤭😂 You didn't give her a clear guided sentence on HOW to be more likeable though!
Harry Potter also taught us this, "I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks."
Not everywhere, but I definitely do find myself walking the catwalk in everyday life, especially when I’m listening to music and walking down long hallways
I thought they were trying to plant an eating disorder angle with that very thin model at first. But the whole drama around Camille feels like yet another attempt at framing a confident black woman as angry and aggressive.
Shandhi very well may have an eating disorder, it's not out of the ordinary for models to have one
When Ms. Jay was saying "current" and you thought it was something else! I could not stop laughing! I love you so much!
Had foot surgery on Monday so it's been a rough few days. SO happy to see this upload. Love ya, Lux!!!
Oh dear! Wishing you a speedy recovery! 🖤🖤
Me too! Foot recovery gang!
I sprained my ankle yesterday and am laid up in bed so happy to see this upload too!! get well soon!
Same here, nearly 2 weeks since my foot surgery
Your eye for editing is outstanding, I used to think that yoanna was all innocent but im seeing everything in a whole new light. Thanks Luxeria
“Usually ugly women put on a lot of makeup”
SIS she was wearing blush, lipgloss, and some eyebrow pencil wtf are you SEEING
This episode seemed to be edited to make Camille look bad, but I think it was edited in a way to make Yoanna look bad. Twas a red herring all along! The editing is kind to no-one, who knows how much of their interactions we never got to see.
I would LOVE to see Luxeria cover 'Manhunt' from 2004. It was, of course, one of the many competitive reality shows that took "inspiration" from 'America's Next Top Model.' Fun fact one of Janice Dickinson's top male models from her "modelling agency", John Stallings, was on that show as well.
It's where that "Kevin, your dog just died" meme came from
watching this 20 years later has given me a new perspective. I think I skipped a lot of what happened in each episode. I never thought Yohanna was this bad but wow the drama with these girls.
Criticizing a person for being timid and telling them to "work on it" is kind of an oxymoron...
"What's the Crimson... OHHHH" LOLOL
The way this episode went has me really crossing my fingers that they're not going to play the "villain Camille" plot thread straight and instead show that Yoanna was the manipulator all along...but I really can't trust these shows to promote emotional complexity, intelligence, and nuance like that and I'm worried that Camille will be portrayed as genuinely bad.
hahahaha, loving catwalking everywhere - I do too. Especially a long corridor, bridge, clear straight football, I'm always strutting pretending I'm on a runway. I also grew up watching ANTM, must have been implanted in our brains through the episodes!!
Xiomara is literally one of my favorite names ever. and I loved Xiomara on the show too
Lol Luxeria, Ms Jay said "CURRENT" 😂
Jay said CURRENT lol. Love you Luxeria! That made me giggle though.
After a stressful April I missed the last 3 weeks of videos! Just got to the end of my 7 video Lux binge, so now I’m onto Roly’s 😅😂 Feels great to be able to watch again, can’t wait for the next great video!!
Luxeria!!! So @11:33, I did some snooping and it turns out that Miss J earned their fame by coaching supermodel Naomi Campbell and model Kimora Lee Simmons. I found that very interesting!
(also, at around @16:00, look at how all of their wardrobe changes!!! It was all edited in the strangest way, and definitely used Camille's laughs for a catty storyline!
