ANTM: Who Will She Choose?

Last week: Tyra psyched us out and only had the two photo shoots. But first we learned nobody really liked Jourdan as only Chris supported her. But then money lured Mike to switch alliances from Cory to Jourdan. As the final three prepared to walk in the final runway, the judges appeared. Someone was not walking as a finalist. Who will it be? Marvin, the janitor’s son who cried at the drop of a hat? Jourdan, the young woman who didn’t endear herself to her fellow models? Cory, the androgynous model who Rob wanted to be more masculine? And who will ultimately be America’s Next Top Model? Find out!

ANTM: Where Do You Put Your Support?

This cycle on America’s Next Top Model: THERE WERE GUYS! Marvin had no game until like last week when he and Renee may or may not have had sex! Jeremy idolized Jourdan until she kept going on about how he was obsessed with her and pretty much turned him off. Nina liked Chris but then he upset her and then no one liked Chris. Phil kept being called a “sexy Jesus” and kept flirting with Jiana despite having a girlfriend. And in between, there was actual modeling going on as well! Once the models got to Bali, their numbers dwindled until there was three. Who will be America’s Top Model—Jourdan, Cory or Marvin? Find out!

Top Model!

Wait, this is only part one of the finale? And according to my guide, part two isn’t airing right behind it. That means I still have to tune in next week to find out who won?

BALI! Jourdan’s picture is on display and she notes this is her fifth time getting the first photo. Cory and Marvin celebrate being the top two guys. He says he’s not going to be happy until he wins it all. Cory says they all represent a different side of the industry—Jourdan is the classic beauty, Marvin is the youthful male and Cory is the androgynous male. Marvin, meanwhile, is glum that he didn’t get a kiss goodbye from Renee last week. But the other two remind him that Chris is gone.

ANTM: Bats!

Last week on “ANTM:” It wasn’t on. They debuted Katy Perry’s new album instead. So…

Two weeks ago on “ANTM:” Everybody hated Chris! Marvin and Renee became Marnee! Everyone posed in a rice patty! Then they went to go visit elephants! At panel, Jourdan rose to the top while Nina, Jeremy and Chris H fell into the bottom. In a double elimination, Nina and Jeremy were sent packing. Five contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: The “Preposterous” Elephants

Remember Jade from Cycle 6? And when she thought elephants were related to dinosaurs?

Good times.

Last week on “ANTM:” The models flew to Bali! No one liked Chris H! Don had a panic attack and Nina revealed she had some of her lung taken out so they couldn’t do the underwater runway challenge. Then they had to pose with animals. Nina rose to the top while Don and Marvin fell to the bottom. In the end, Don was eliminated. Seven contestants remain, who will be eliminated? Find out!

ANTM: Bali Hai

Last week on “ANTM:” Jeremy was revealed to the be the male contestant entering back into the competition. The contestants had to film a commercial with some crazy direction. Jourdan won the challenge. There was a large fight over dirty dishes. Then a photoshoot featuring Zendaya in which the models had to turn flaws into assets. Nina rose to the top while Chris H. and Alexandra fell into the bottom. And Alexandra had to leave the stage due to a heart condition. Alexandra was eliminated again and won’t be going to Bali. Eight models remain, who will be eliminated first in Bali? Find out!

The contestants return to the house and pack up their stuff to go to Bali! Marvin’s excited to leave the country; Don says the stress of the competition is getting to him. Jourdan and Renee still think the other is her competition. Nina isn’t sure where her relationship with Chris H stands while he’s glad he wasn’t sent home as he has no home to go to. Because, you know, him mom threw him out when he turned 18. Everyone gets on the model mobile to head to the airport as we head to credits.

ANTM: Flawsome

Last time on "ANTM": The models went on go-sees to try and book fashion shows. Jourdan and Marvin didn't book any and Jourdan didn't understand because they kept saying it was because her walk was "too good." Tyra eventually clued her in that it was a polite way of saying she was too bland. Renee won the challenge before they posed in a field with mirrors. Chris H rose to the top while Marvin and Phil fell to the bottom. Phil was eliminated but had a chance to comeback right then! Alexandra was revealed to be the comeback kid...for the girls. As Phil, Mike and Jeremy awaited their fate, the episode ended. Who will come back? Who will be eliminated? Find out!

ANTM: The Comeback Kid

Last week on “Top Model:” Marvin cried. Nonstop. Kelly tested them on their fashion knowledge…while they were in their underwear. For every correct answer, the contestants earned money to spend to put together an outfit. Don charmed his way to a challenge win. Then they had to pose while paint was thrown on them. Jourdan rose to the top again while Phil and Jiana ended up in the bottom two. Jiana was eliminated as Phil gets to model another day. Eight contestants remain, who goes home tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Big Boys Don’t Cry

Last time on “ANTM:” The boys decide to prank the girls, who are pretty cool about it. Phil goes crazy on a shoot, annoying Kelly to no end. Cory’s team won only because Don’s team didn’t put Nina in a shoot featuring women’s clothing. Then Nina and Chris H fought it and it looks like China is on the skids. At a photoshoot about nail art, J2 hits the skids too. Kanani though is still freaked out about the clowns the boys hid in her room the night before. While Jourdan rises to the top, Jeremy and Kanani are sent packing in a double elimination. Nine models remain, who is eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: You Know You’re a Redneck When…

Last week on “Top Model:” MAKEOVERS! Before that though, Tyra and Rob taught the model wannabes about “chemistry.” They then posed in pictures with Alessandra Ambrosio. As for makeovers, Cory went bald! Nina went red! Jourdan went blonde! Phil turned into Jesus! Marvin still has no game! In the end, Mike rose to the top while Chlea and Don fell into the bottom two. Chlea was eliminated but wait! She could come back like last year! Thirteen contestants remain, who is eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: THERE ARE MEN, YOU GUYS!

I’m not liveblogging the casting episodes because…well…you all know how I feel about casting episodes. So regular recaps will resume next week with the first proper episode.

But here are my thoughts!

I don’t see how the boys will bring something new to the program except increased hormones. Each fills an archetype we’ve seen on the show before: the overconfident one, the poor one, the socially awkward one, etc. But there was some flirting already. We need to keep our eye on Jourdan and Jeremy. I smell reality show love!

ANTM: One False Step

Last time on “ANTM”: The final four had to write a commercial for the Jamaican Tourism Board. And then perform it on horseback. Leila has a freakout while Laura is a natural. But Kiara wins the challenge. Then they shoot an ad for “Dream Come True.” At panel, Kelly and Rob argued a lot. Kiara and Leila made it to the finale while Laura and Nastasia made it to the bottom two. In the end, Laura rounded out the finale three while Nastasia was sent packing.

After a season of more WTF-ery than usual from P’Trique to Bryanboy to social media to Victoria, it’s time to reveal who will be America’s Next Top Model. Will it be Laura, the daughter of a soap star and model who has had her ups and downs? Or Kiara, who had a rough childhood and has pulled herself up to succeed? Or Leila, who was eliminated but brought back by viewers’ votes? Find out!

ANTM: No More Horsin’ Around

Last time on “ANTM:” Kristin was nastier than usual. The remaining five went on a photoshoot for Cedella Marley and Leila got attacked by a dolphin. But she still won the challenge. Next, Tyra took pictures of the girls in a waterfall. At panel, Leila and Kiara rose while Laura and Kristin fell. After a confrontation between Kiara, Leila and Kristin, the latter was sent home. Four girls remain, who is eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Attack of the Dolphin

Last time on “ANTM”: Tyra revealed Leila was the girl coming back into the competition. The others girls were sent home while the final six went to Jamaica! Male models met them and Kiara fell for Korey. They competed in a dance competition, which Nastasia and Kiara won. Losers Kristin and Laura just spent the episode badmouthing everyone else in confessional. Then they posed with Rob and one of their male models on a raft. At panel, Nastasia rose to the top while Kiara and Victoria fell to the bottom two. In the end, Victoria was eliminated. Five girls remain, who goes home tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Jamaica!

Last time on “ANTM”: The girls went on go-sees! Brittany and Victoria booked nothing though they only showed Victoria going on about it. And she confronted the other girls about calling her out at panel. It all got very middle school, very fast. Next, Kiara had to relive her shoplifting past when the photoshoot was done inside a prison. Laura rose to the top while Brittany and Victoria fell to the bottom. Brittany was eliminated BUT went into another judging with the other eliminated girls to see who comes back into the competition. Five girls will become six tonight. Who stays? Who goes? Find out!

ANTM: Girl on Fire

Last time on ANTM: Tyler Perry showed up to help with an acting challenge. Despite the fact I still think Yvonne or even Victoria should’ve won, Kiara won. But she wasn’t the biggest bitch on the show this week. That went to Kristin, who needled Destiny and talked back to Johnny. The girls portrayed zombies. Lauren rose to the top while Destiny and Yvonne fell to the bottom. In the end, Destiny was sent to join Jessie and Darian in an attempt to get back in the competition. Nine girls remain, who gets eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Tyler Perry’s House of Cray-Cray

Last time on “ANTM:” It was time for makeovers! Except they were optional! But they really weren’t because opting out meant a talking to from Tyra and Kelly. Victoria began to panic but Maria didn’t care. She finally left the competition during the photo shoot. No one cared as they were posing nude with one Rob Evans. At panel, Victoria rose to the top while Darian and Yvonne fell to the bottom. It came down to social media and Darian was sent home, but no before Tyra teased her with the possibility of coming back. Ten girls remain, who will go home tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Last time on ANTM: The girls adjusted to living in their new house as Tyra showed them around. Including the Tyra Suite. Rob shows up to take them to their first challenge—working it at a club! Yvonne wins and gets to stay in the Tyra Suite. Shenae Grimes is their photographer as they pretend to be mounted on a wall. At panel, social media comes into play as the judges rank the girls. In the end, Leila gets the best photo and access to the Tyra Suite. Meanwhile, Destiny and Jessie fall to the bottom. But the public liked Destiny more than Jessie and she is sent home. Except not! She can compete to come back into the competition! Who joins her? Find out!

ANTM: Just Hanging Around

Last week on ANTM: Tyra tricked me into watching a casting episode. Thirty girls from several colleges and beauty schools converged on LA for a chance to be on the 19th cycle of the show. Tyra and Kelly are back, but there are new things! Mr. Jay is gone, replaced with Johnny Wujek. Nigel is gone, replaced by Rob Evans. And the rotating guest judge? Is now people who voted while the season was taping. So the judges whittled down the contestants to the final 13. Who gets the bad luck (or good fortune?) to get kicked off first? Find out!

ANTM: School’s In Session

It’s a new cycle? Already? CW’s starting early. Huh. Okay, y’all! Time for Top Model. Buckle up, Auntie Tyra’s driving again.

Oh, they’ve gone back to “The Girl Who…” titles again.

Tyra’s a graduate of Harvard! And so she’s doing a college cycle! Because, you know, that’s an age group that’s never been represented before on this show. Please note the sarcasm.

The girls arrive at a sorority house? That’s what it looks like. They are wearing shirts with their college name on them. I don’t want to see my alma mater there. Maria (Harvard) talks about how the college cycle will show girls they can be models and not stupid. Too bad Tyra has always eliminated the smart girls before.
