Cycle 10 :: Episode 2 :: Thoughts
1. Why did the get rid of Atalya instead of Stacy Ann? Yes, I’ll give them that Stacy Ann had a better photo… this week. But with her voice, could she ever really be a Cover Girl? I don’t think so. I hate that as much as Tyra et al try to make it about being High Fashion, it’s still about who can be the best Cover Girl… and then who can be the best High Fashion Model.
2. We all knew Kimberly was going to be cut first anyway, thanks for saving us the trouble. Good thing they took 14 girls this season instead of the usual 13.
3. I’m going to try a real quick hit rundown…
Aimee - Okay.
Allison - Sarah Silverman
Amis - Lisa++
Anya - Meh
Atalya - Peace out
Claire - Julia Stiles… but not
Dominque - Draggish
Fatima - Serious
Katarzyna - Not really America’s Next Top Model
Kimberly - Beauty Pageant
Lauren - Brittany clone
Marvita - Growing
Stacy Ann - Peace out… oh, right, well, maybe next week? Hopefully…
Whitney - Plus size who could maybe actually win it
4. How come Fatima just assumes Marvita is a [not-actual-quote]stupid, black American girl[/not-actual-quote] until she finds out that she’s been raped and molested, and then all is good? I mean, I know she’s been through a lot, but as Marvita points out, you can just be nice to people like “Hey, what’s up?”
5. I had Claire, Marvita, and Anya on my Top Model Fantasy Team this week. Not bad picks considering I made them before I saw even the first episode where they narrowed them down to 14. I think I’m going to stick with them for next week too.
