First Call-out

McKey Sullivan


Call-out Order: Analeigh Tipton, Marjorie Conrad, Samantha Potter, Elina Ivanova






Eliminated

Sheena Sakai


Note: This shoot is one of my favorite of shoots of all time. I loved how the photos turned out. I love it. The photos look like an ad campaign for something. The editing is excellent. What I was sad about though is Sheena leaving the competition. She became one with the contestants who got Best photo on the previous episode only to be eliminated the next (a weird decision by the judges I know). As much as I hate to agree, Sheena had the weakest photo of the bunch. I don't think Elina had a bad photo, Samantha's photo was weaker than hers.

Eliminated

Lauren Brie Harding


Note: This is the worst elimination in ANTM history. I understand that America's Next Top Model along with Tyra Banks and some judges lack in judgment (heck they are even making money and popularity out of it) but this is just too damn much. They have crossed the line on this one. You know what I think, I think that the show has been on constantly spiraling down not because of of the viewers but because of their inability to deliver PROPER judgment. I don't think they are representing the voice of sane America. With what has happened, I believe they are showing America what they want America to 'want'. They don't sell me their crap anyway. I can see right through these people. They are so full of themselves, some even show off. Lauren Brie's elimination was a VERY CLEAR sign of the show's ever declining taste. Very questionable. Bottom two should have been Joslyn (this season's free passer) and Sheena.

First Call-out

Samantha Potter


Call-out Order: Analeigh Tipton, McKey Sullivan, Elina Ivanova, Marjorie Conrad,
Lauren Brie Harding, Sheena Sakai, Joslyn Pennywell









Eliminated

Clark Gilmer


Note: Tacky, desperate, bullcrap. These three words haunted me like 3 effin stoodges the moment this episode ended. Once again, Clark is one examples of contestants who has done really well and got best photo on the previous episode and got eliminated the next. What cheap theatrics for ANTM and Tyra Banks. Seriously? How, in your old and brittle little minds, the hell does Joslyn have a better photo than Clark? You all lack serious judgement. Contrary to what you are thinking, NO, I am not a huge Clark fan, but I STRONGLY believe that her photo is better than Joslyn and Sheena's. Goodness, what has the world become to.

First Call-out

Clark Gilmer


Call-out Order: Analeigh Tipton, Lauren Brie Harding, Sheena Sakai, McKey Sullivan, Marjorie Conrad, Joslyn Pennywell, Elina Ivanova, Samantha Potter










Eliminated

Isis King


Hannah White


The girls got a runway lesson at a bowling alley from J. Alexander. The next day, they participated in a runway show for fashion designer Jeremy Scott. There were two twists. Firstly, the girls would be wearing see-through blindfolds, and secondly, one girl would be instantly eliminated following the challenge. Notable standouts on the runway included Joslyn, Analeigh, McKey, Isis and Sheena, though most girls also excelled. Despite being instructed not to do so, Samantha pulled up her dress while posing on the runway. Joslyn's performance was deemed the best, winning her a photo shoot for Seventeen which she shared with Isis and Sheena. The least impressive girls were Hannah and Samantha. Hannah for not presenting herself there and seems didn't want to be there, and Samantha for walking and acting 'disgustingly' in the runway. Hannah was sent home due to her overall performance.

This week's photo shoot took place in their own pool, with Nigel Barker photographing the girls. The girls were to pose with their faces partially underwater, with an emphasis on their eyes. While many received positive feedback, Elina and Joslyn struggled with the shoot, as did Isis, who was awkward in the pool because she felt uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit.

At judging, Clark's huge improvement inspired everyone in the place, as she produced a super strong photo with a very fierce eyes. Analeigh also very improving from the last week, finally using her ice skating ability to create a photo with strong, fierce eyes. Sheena's photo was deemed by Tyra as an "Asian warrior that is going to kill you", while Lauren Brie impressed for the third consecutive week.

Despite having a strong photo, Samantha was strongly reprimanded by Jeremy Scott, because she was acting like a know-it-all and seemed to want to be the rockstar of the runway show, and she ended up in the bottom two along with Isis. In the end, Samantha was spared because the judges felt that Isis was holding back, though they praised her as an inspiration for the LGBTcommunity.


Note: Though I feel for Isis' elimination. I also feel for Hannah's shameful elimination. I feel sad that she wasn't given the opportunity to show what she has. She was eliminated instead. What a cheap way for a reality show to start something as tacky and as gimmicky as this? This is the 11th cycle already. Goodness! Straighten up your act Tyra Banks! Your cheap theatrics are really getting old already ANTM!
