Kortnie Coles

Note: This episode was full of shit really. Excuse the pun. There are a lot of things that were wrong about this photo. I understand what they are going for but I just hated what Tyra and her gang pulled up with. Oh my god. This photo shoot is so distasteful I want to gag. Seriously? This looks as worse and as useless as Cycle 1's Wonderbra photo shoot. Next, what's up with Benny Ninja? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the guy, I think he is fabulous but what has he got to do with the photo shoots? An expert contortionist of some sort on Ellis Island? Yeah right. Exposure much? Also, speaking of exposure, what the F%&k is wrong with the judges giving Tahlia the first call-out? Is their serious lack of judgement that bad really? Hello? London? Doh. Also What the F*%k is wrong with the judges in this cycle? Sandra over Kortnie? What the?! Sandra looks like Dennis Rodman for crying out loud! AGAIN, I have nothing against Dennis Rodman or any people of color but I do believe and I feel so strongly for this, that Kortnie's photo is way WAY better than Sandra's (in all possible angles). C'mon! Benny Ninja looks more feminine than Sandra here! What a rigged show ANTM is. Nuff' said.

Nijah Harris

Note: This photo shoot has got to be one of my favorite photo shoots in ANTM history. I absolutely love the concept and the styling on the contestants. A smart move considering what they have pulled off on the previous episode. I have to give credit to where it is due. They really deserve my applaud for this.

Do You Light The Way I Look?

Photo Shoot: Lighting Oneself 

First Call-out

Teyona Anderson

Call-out Order: Celia Ammerman, Allison Harvard, Natalie Pack, London Levi-Nance, Nijah Harris, Tahlia Brookins, Sandra Nyanchoka, Kortnie Coles, Aminat Ayinde, Fo Porter

Eliminated

Jessica Santiago

Note: Jessica's outfit here is a complete sabotage. Seriously, the way she was styled on this episode was absolutely horrendous. I mean, what's up with those jeans? It's like mom-jeans-meets-12-year-old-hannah-montana-meets-5-year-old-plastic-make-up-set. yeah, something like that. It's just appalling. No wonder Jessica was sent home. That said, despite Jessica's wardrobe malfunction I still (in a heartbeat) would have wanted Tahlia sent home. Tahlia's expressionless and sometimes lifeless face here should have been enough evidence for the judges to send her home, but no, they chose amateur posing over something their stylists have been indifferent to. Cue: lack of judgement song playing.

First Call-out

Isabella Falk

Note: I don't think that Isabella had the weakest picture in the bunch. I believe that Jessica and Teyona's picture should have been on the bottom two. Really sad to see Isabella go, I believe she could deliver in her photos. I am kinda weary about her being epileptic though, I'm not sure how she would register to the fashion world, the 'real' fashion world, when they would have the slightest clue that she can switch off and twitch any time.
