America's Next Top Model Episode 2


First, does anyone miss Brittany? No? I didn't think so.

The thing that stood out to me was their lesson that started 3 min into the episode. They discussed branding, led by Martin Lindstrom. Each girl had an idea of who she was and each was confronted with what people actually thought about them. I found it quite fascinating, and so I'll share it here.

I was worried for poor Alexandria, just like she was worried for herself. She's very polarizing, and though I love her, everyone doesn't. I just hoped her word wasn't Bitchy. Keep reading to find out.

After their lesson, (and some Bianca-Camille drama) it was time for the makeovers. I'm glad they're doing it this early. I must admit I was hoping for at least one breakdown with hair. Sheena had a pre-meltdown at the though of repeating her previous hair drama. I was really surprised when Bre lost it because she got her hair cut.

If Bianca is her girl like they say they are "sisters", you'd think Bianca would've shared with her how to get through having your crowning glory chopped off. I was really surprised that she let a haircut take her confidence. She started off explaining a previous haircut as being required. Silly girl.

They moved on to the photo shoot. The photographer was Ricky Middlesworth. They had to embody their new brands, along with making an advertisement for Pink's hotdog. Sounds intricate, but not too complicated. These girls are working models after all.

Laura was adorable. Camille looked like she was performing the most uncomfortable blowjob ever. Mr. Jay called Laura back to show her how to eat a hot dog like you are eating food and not some bust down snob. Well, he didn't say that, but that's certainly how it looked to me.

Then Angelea came out and O.M.G.! She looked amazing. She still ghetto as ever underneath, but that outer shell is looking glamorous and refined. I think she's so beautiful and I'm glad to see how she's become a chameleon because that means she'll always be able to get work.

Allison, Kayla, and Bre didn't do so well. You never know what the judges will think of the best picture. The top pictures were:
1) Lisa D'Amato; 2) Bianca Golden; 3) Alexandria Everett; 4) Laura Kirkpatrick; 5) Angelea Preston; 6) Dominique Reighard; 7) Shannon Stewart; 8) Allison Harvard; 9) Isis King; 10) Bre Scullark; 11) Camille McDonald.

The bottom two were Sheena Sakai and Kayla Ferrel. I looked at these two and thought Kayla looked the most lost in terms of her brand in person and on photos. Sheena is very unexpected and Andre really likes her. I think he'll push for her to get another chance.

But I was wrong! They kept Kayla. Tyra really believes in Kayla, so she gave her another chance to get it together. Sheena is leaving and she will be missed. That girl had flava!

* They didn't actually show on camera this information.
