WELCOME TO THE DRECKITUDE OF TYRA'S PSYCHOSCAPE: America's Next Top Model CYCLE 14

Against all reason, I'm excited, which means this is going to be a disappointing season. WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

This wed, already??? Ohh wee I am excited!! What/who's this season's "defect"?

One more night!

I have no idea about the girls this cycle, as the only thing I've learned from the promos is DRECK.

"earthy" brooklyn hipster brought in as ringer is a twist worthy of an m. night shyamalan movie.

How did I survive the last 4 months without Super Smize?

Ringer definitely thinking what she got herself into.

Train. Wreck.
Tyra's "MyFiercePage Dot Com" - excruciating
Angalea's horribly apparent naivete - excruciating
Tyra's idea that there's still some sort of novelty in txtspeak - excruciating
it was really uncomfortable to watch. I'm sure it's no more exploitative than any other season but for some reason it feels like it is. Maybe all the little tricks are just obvious to me at this point.

I think the real tragedy/source of entertainment this cycle is going to be Angelea's slow realization that she is the fugliest bitch to ever be on this show

No, that would've been Thalia the other season.

oh hell no

Thalia was no model but she wasn't flat-out hideously gross with a misshapen face

lol Thalia

Note that even with the notorious truckload of retouching done on the post-makeover shot, Angelea looks like someone hit her in the face with a bat, whereas Thalia looks like a relatively cute girl who has no business being in a modeling competition.

Wrong!! All of you!

i actually think she looks good in that pic (i haven't seen her before)

haha Leee

so who do YOU think the fugliest contestant in Top. Model. HISTORY. is

I'd say Tahlia, too, or Dominique from most angles, or Mila from the ninth cycle.

oh shit I forgot about Mila

I'll fight you on Thalia, not so much on Dominique but she wasn't blatantly hideous, just shockingly old-looking.

maybe the stank is influencing me but srsly this girl is bona fide grody from head to toe

... I am willing to consider your point.

haaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

btw, i still think about the commercial dominique shot in italian. still.

just about died @ that!
this week = fighting, falling, an all around gem!

This is the Bizarro cycle: all my early favorites or dbags or terrible, and Angelea is my favorite one right now wtf.

Btw, Editor-at-Large just means "someone famous on the editorial staff who doesn't make any editorial decisions," right?

^ Yes, when they first announced that ALT was on the judging panel all season I thought the show had really scored a big name, but at this point it seems clear he's only in it to show off his French.

Srsly one of the most entertaining episodes if this show ever. Also cute terrible psycho girl with the massive glasses reminds me of one of my cousins, only crazier and dumber.

When they eliminate a girl at the end of each episode, a huge pendulum should come swinging out of nowhere and knock her off the platform.

kinda wanna reiterate: gross

it is sort of pissing me off that she is starting off so well, considering how wretchedly heinous she is head to toe

i'll miss you, hipster ringer with raymond pettibon tattoo. good luck and godspeed.

Now Dan, she has an interesting, angular face.

i kind of really love angelea

i'll miss you, hipster ringer with raymond pettibon tattoo. good luck and godspeed.

wonder if her mom will still like the show after being called out as a bad mother on it.

I think I'm coming around on ALT, too. Either he toned himself down a lot or the editors just cut out his more annoying bits, but I was kind of loling with him last night.

Yes, I imagine a stern confrontation between Tyra and ALT, ending in tears, hugs, apologies, and promises to do better.

yea definitely. he good!

btw i really don't think angelea is that unattractive, and she did take a great foto this wk

loooooved the winning foto. and simone, she's beautiful! dunno about her pictures yet tho. . .

Simone is fucking gorgeous

^^^ TRUTH. (See? We agree on something.)

she really is ! kind of scary to look at

and she seems like she can walk

Me: OK, so I was getting my prescription for goofballs filled, and there's this lady who looks like a prettier Angelea, complete w/ babby
tehresa: !
tehresa: what kind of goofballs did they give you

This was soooooo uncomfortable to actually see happening:

I thought I loved this episode but then I read the FourFour recap and holy lolz

http://fourfour.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b8c369e20133ec4a5d96970b-800wi

Dear Angelea:

stop being hilarious, you are making it very hard to hate you

xoxoxo, HI DERE

Seriously, Tyra is eliminating all my favorite girls this season, plus I like Anslee Hayes over here.

Photoshoot tonight was FIERCE, with a capital TYRA. Angelea turning it out, too, H2T, working it like the rent's due. Smize.

For someone as grating and insufferable as Angelea, girl can turn out some holy-fucking-hell amazing pictures

i just can't look at raina's face without falling in love

i want to see raina and krysta(spl) walk it out in the end

Right now I'm guessing Krista and Angelea

rly did not like angelea's last picture. it's like ... ur on the floor, tyra's shooting u -- do something!!

oh I haven't seen yesterday's yet, it's still on the DVR (I do know who went home, tho)

Kind of surprised/happy that Alexandra is getting her mojo back (even if I think she looks nothing like a model).

yeah! her last picture was awesome

Angelea is starting to look real good to me.

What does that say about me?

I am gunning for Krista in a big way. But Angelea is pretty awesome when she brings it...I would have never believed it.

Also we need a gif of Angelea in "the club"

OMG we really do

I am shocked and amazed at how much I like Angelea, considering how detestably gross she was at the beginning.

What was up with ALT talking about Alexandra looking ethnic??? Weird x 1000000.

And for those who are a bit more traditional:

thank you, i love you

no, i definitely saw the ethnic thing in alexandra's photo, myself

Really? I guess my liberal guilt was overactive. Can you explain what ALT meant?

poor angelea :(

She kind of flamed out, didn't she. I really hope she goes places. Loved how visibly moved she was by Andre's story...and how moved he was at her leaving. Couldnt stand her to begin with but damn she was something else.

Really glad Krista pulled out the win. She is a winner top to bottom.

But I felt like Raina was a ridiculous pick for final two because of her crappy-ass walk. Didn't understand the point, she was no match for Krista anywhere that I could see except maybe eyebrows, lol

Oops long post, sorry

krista is like dani but like, 10 levels above. she really did a great job. raina should have gone home weeks ago. pissed me off.

i feel like the judges believed angelea could have a career even if she didn't win. i just hope they continue to mentor/help her after the show so that she does not just go back to buffalo to work at best buy or something :(

Loved how anti-climactic the reveal was: Congrats... Krista! (beat) (cue music)

i feel like the judges believed angelea could have a career even if she didn't win.

In terms of skills, totally, but I think the biggest question mark is her self-confidence and willingness to put herself out there.

right, which is why i was thinking hopefully one of them will decide to push her (ie, get her interviews or whatever).

OMG.

Okay lol
