Mama, the Weeping || Make Me a Supermodel 2

This is late because senior prom is generally more important than blogging about models. Sorry to say.

You know, before I get to the actual episode, I wanna state how I'm starting to regret not wanting the voting from last season. Sure, if they kept the voting, Colin and Gabriel would still be there, and although both boys are extremely attractive, they didn't exactly deserve to stay this long. At the same time, taking the voting out of the show takes the thrill factor out. Yes, America made a lot of dumb decisions. Ben making it to the finale over Frankie and Casey? For real? Perry making only fourth place? I mean, thank God Holly won - at least that makes a bit of sense. Aryn's elimination? I'm almost still bitter. But really, let's face the facts. It's not like America's gonna be dumb and vote out Jonathan and Sandhurst. I'm not saying the show is that boring, especially since all of my favorites (I guess minus Colin in a way) are still in, but really. Something's just missing.

I guess part of it is being able to not blame the judges for a bullshit elimination. Last season, you couldn't blame Aryn's elimination on the judges, like you could Colin's this season. You had to blame the viewers, the voters, America. Now, with no voting, you have no choice but to blame the decisions on the judges, which makes it no different and no more exciting than Project Runway or America's Next Top Model (or The Fashion Show, but that lulzfest will be recapped probably on Wednesday). I guess what still puts MMAS over ANTM is that the judges are more credible on MMAS. Maybe I'm not one to judge their credibility (and I'm not one to deny how much of a douche Perou is), but they just come off as more deserving to be judges than Paulina, Nigel, and J do. At the same time, maybe that brings MMAS down. When ANTM makes a bullshit decision, it's just Paulina, Nigel, Tyra, and J making dumb decisions, which is normal. But when there's a bullshit decision made on MMAS, and judges like Jenny Shimizu and Catherine Malandrino are blamed for it, their credibility is questioned more. Do they really want to risk all that for the sake of a reality show? I mean, really?

This all being said, the elimination this week was, by NO means, a bullshit elimination.

Same as last week. I don't have time to make a legit Survivor-esque blog, and I have to have Survivor's up tomorrow (PS Finale this weekend hollaaa).

Last week was about Cows and Colin. Sandhurst sang a song about his thighs. Jordan had her first legit bad photoshoot. That's about it. NEXT.


Team Sandhurst is legit. Technically, this has been legit for a while, but it's just on now.

His photo wasn't my personal favorite, but it still had a great deal of energy and he looked great while being shot and the end result is fabulous. He was also amazing on the catwalk, despite the tickling bit (honey, I'm the same way, it's all good). He's proven he's not flawless, but that's a good thing in my opinion. The winner shouldn't be totally flawless, or else it'd be too obvious. I'm definitely hoping for a Sandhurst win. He deserved it enough this week, but I'm hoping he'll take home the gold in the end.


Hands down, best shot of the girls. Bitch has been on a roll. I don't know if it was go-see worthy, but it's a gorgeous photo. It's annoying how people criticize her shot on not having her worst feature, but give me a break. It's a good photo. If the photographer liked her the best, whether her ass was in the shot or not really isn't an issue.


Her walk, on the other hand, was pretty lame.

I think Salome, although absolutely adorable, will be the next to go. She doesn't have Jordan's fashion knowledge or Mountaha's walk. And let's face it - it's the final six. It'll be sad to see her go, as she does have the most stunning face of the group, has taken some of the best shots of the group (I think, of the girls, she's taken the most amount of good shots, especially with Jordan's missteps these past weeks), and supposedly, she cries this week. But what can you do? Everyone left is really talented, and it's probably come down to those last three pounds. Poor girl. it's okay, Salome, you'll be signed in no time. Love you, girl!


Great shot. Nothing new. Judges were a bit harsh on his whole "good, but not great" thing, but whatever. The judges were unnecessarily harsh on a lot of people.

I feel bad about the whole money deal. Jonathan's usually totally drama free, but now this shit springs up on him, and it's Perry and Amanda all over again. Although not really, as Jonathan's deal makes more sense. I hope he's able to rework things and get the money to help. I'd hate for this to be the only reason he wins though - he's near flawless already, let that be the reason he wins, if he does.


The judges were crazy with Branden. I know, it was probably hard to get this shot, but it's probably my favorite, not gonna lie. I just like everything about it, his body, his expression, the way his tie moves... I feel bad for him - he rarely takes bad pictures, but now, he's getting criticized like crazy.


His walk wasn't that good though. And the mama deal was pretty much a shoe-in plotline for the bottom two. Poor baby. You know, I hated Branden in the beginning. Sure, he had a great first picture, but he always came off as a douche before. Now, I just think he's such a sweetheart and I adore him. I hope he fixes his walk and can go further.

Also, judges, seriously? Make up your minds - do you want his confidence or not? For fucking real.


I'm not a fan of her photo. Profile is not the way to go for her, and she could've done a different pose (I don't have a link, but her outtake photo was so much better in my opinion, although profile is still not her best angle). I blame the shoes partially, but I just don't think her photo's that great. At least the crack isn't "too severe" anymore (Hahaha, retouch notes are funny).


Her walk was amazing though, I'll give her that. She looked so pretty with the butterflies lying on her face.


Jordan's picture isn't that bad, but her pick in the bag pretty much ruins it. Her hips aren't much better than Salome's, but no one complained about how they're cropped out of the picture by the bag. Not really that fair. Still, Catherine Malandrino was way too anal about her photo. Seriously, bitch, the photographer loved her shot. It was her first frame. Back up off the poor girl's tits.


Her runway wasn't as strong this week, but she looked gorgeous. Though that isn't hard for her to do.

What else is there to say? Awful shot by an awful model.


Lame catwalk as well.

It's really funny how she was supposed to be the sexy girl of the group, and she has the worst and least sexy shot of the group. With the exception of her candy shot (which had no more effort than Jordan's did, other than the make up, so I don't want to hear it), all of her photos have been complete and utter shit. She's never been that good on the catwalk. The only thing she's ever really had for her on the show is her body. That's all.Show all

I don't know why I liked her preshow. She's a lame model with an absolutely unbearable personality. Again, Jordan might complain a bit too much about Amanda, but it's all worthy. Girl is obnoxious. Also, props for Salome on the excuses bit. Amanda has always ridden her way through the competition on the coattails of excuses.

Also, that "I don't want my son to turn out gay" comment was repulsive. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who thinks that.

Whatever. She's gone. Finally. Now, I can enjoy the rest of the season.

Next week (aka this Wednesday): I honestly can't remember. Salome cries. That's gonna break my heart. Branden cries. That will too. Ugh, this cast. Continue reading...

More than a Bird, Less than a Model. || Make Me a Supermodel 2 episode 8

I'm definitely procrastinating on math right now.

So, I really want to get Survivor's blog up tomorrow since I can't do it Tuesday, so this week, no caps. Maybe next week.

Last week, Amanda cried. Oh wait, that's every week. Well, Salome won back to back challenges, even though Jordan did an overall better job. Everyone decides to pick on Salome for being clueless. Laury and Kerryn were eliminated. Kerryn should've stayed over Colin and Amanda. Laury was really mean to Salome, and it made her look like a jerk. Overall, despite the decent photos for the most part, this episode was pretty dull considering the hype of a double elimination. It's not like no one got their predictions right on at least one of them.

Okay, let's talk about some cows.

I mean, models.

Basically, how I'm gonna blog MMAS is by going down the line of contestants from who I like the most, to who I like the least, to who was eliminated. Similar to how I blog for Survivor only without including challenges and shit. Just fyi.

This photoshoot was kinda cool. I'd much rather them pose with zoo animals than farm animals, but I don't know how many badass zoos are in New York. I can only assume, but still. Besides, farmers and cowboys and whatnot are used very often in ad campaigns, so why not.



As usual, Jonathan delivers in his photo pretty much flawlessly. He's always been a strong model, and considering how he hasn't been fading yet, he's a shoe-in for the final four, if not final two. He's pretty much perfect. He has the body, the face, the walk... I honestly have yet to see anything wrong with Jonathan. He's pretty much perfect.

That's a positive, of course, but a negative as well for me. Jonathan's great and everything. Maybe too great. I thought he was the best this week, no doubt, but he's pretty much too good for the competition. He hasn't had a legitimate bad shot yet, let alone a bad week. He's constantly praised. Jonathan seems as if he can do no wrong. So...what is he doing here? He's too good for the competition. He should be out there working, not fiddling around with some reality show. I don't know, I adore the man, dearly, but his immense amount of skill might be too much for me to really root for him. Oh well, he better be in the final two anyway, or else something is legitimately wrong.



Sandhurst has been my preshow favorite, and has never truly let me down, despite not being the best every week. It's about damn time he won a go-see. I liked Jonathan's photo better, but it's about time. Sucks he couldn't book the job, but his thunder thighs song was cute. As usual, Sandhurst delivered on the runway. It's good to see my preshow favorite not let me down. (unlike a certain other preshow favorite, but I'll get to him in a bit)

I think Sandhurst is the guy I'm rooting for. It's very hard to say. I have a soft spot for Branden, and Jonathan is just amazing, but I feel as if I should be rooting for Sandhurst. He's just very strong in his deliveries, and he's just relatively on top of it. I definitely want him and Jonathan in the final two, no doubt. That is, if it comes down to a final two. Last year, it was just four. In MMAS Aus, it was three (PS, I'd love to know when the next season of that is. I miss girls like Shanina and guys like Tom and Rhys). So I don't know. I'm pretty confident Sandhurst will be in the final four - hopefully that will mean more than another favorite of mine winning fourth place (goddammit, Perry).



I love Salome. I do. I felt really bad for her last week.

She's not my favorite girl, but she is absolutely gorgeous and her photo was great. It was good to see someone who understood the shoot do well (unlike another girl, but we'll get to her later.). I don't remember her catwalk though.

I don't think Salome will make it to the final four, unfortunately, due to her body. She has a stunning face and has done very well throughout the competition, especially last week with her back to back wins, but the body's gonna kill her in the end. It's sad, especially because, since Kerryn left, there are no girls left in the competition, that are good models, that have perfect bodies. (Keyphrase was obviously "that are good models")



I don't really think Branden's photo is his best, but I think people are too negative. It's not a bad shot. It's just not perfect when you compare it to all of his other photos (minus the water week shot).

Despite how much I hated him in the beginning, I almost want to root for Branden because he has been photographing really well, and he does seem very chill now. I don't really pay much attention to his walk though, and he is rather cocky. He will have a good career no matter what. I think he's pretty underrated. Now that Colin decided to suck at modeling, I'm hoping Branden's my final four filler.



I'm only putting Jordan's photo here because I like her. I think this was definitely her worst week. She is such a good model, with such a great look and walk, but this photo is just bad. I felt bad for her - I'm sure she didn't like posing with a horse. I saw on the outtakes though that she did the same pose as Amanda...and was better at it. Why am I not surprised?

You have to give her credit though. Love her or hate her, she admitted this wasn't her strongest shot. For someone who everyone thinks is so smug, that's showing decency. Jordan hatred has never really made that much sense to me anyway.

She should be in the final four. I have a feeling she'll be robbed by Mountaha, but she should be in the final four. Again, I think the body issue will come into play as she does not have the best of hips (it seems more like her bone structure than anything. Her hip bone is gonna poke someone's eye out someday), but let's face it. Mountaha's body isn't perfect either. Fuck the haters, I love Jordan. She's fabulous.

Also, editors need to stop showing the million clips of her saying how much she hates Amanda. Yes, Jordan is probably discussing this all the time, so yes, it's probably her fault too, but she can't help the fact that Amanda's the worst thing that could happen to this season. I don't care if she's pretty, she's obnoxiously annoying. I'd be complaining just as much as Jordan if I were in her spot.



Mountaha's picture was much better than Jordan's. Hell, it was probably much better than Branden's. However, part of me thinks she's a little...overrated.

Don't get me wrong, I adore her as a person. I think she's got one of the best personalities in the house. But as a model? I'm not a big fan of her look. She's been fabulous the past two weeks or so, but I think her look is an aquired taste because I have never understood her appeal. I think she'll be in the final four. I think Jordan should, but Mountaha will probably make it there. Cest la vie, I at least like her as a person.



Ugh. Gross.

Amanda was a preshow favorite, but I've hated her ever since the mirror shoot. She's just painfully annoying to listen to, and she's a terrible model. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, but a shit model. She can't walk, she can't take photos, she can't do her hair (in confessionals, seriously? It's always a mess). She's just awful. I can see why Jordan dislikes her. I'm shocked she has as many fans as she does. You can't hate Jordan for being honest about Amanda. It's Survivor's Tyson vs Sierra all over again.

I really don't care how slamming her body is anymore. If she lasts any longer, I'm gonna pull an Amanda and cry the Amazon a new river. She just doesn't deserve to last any longer. Too many chances. She should've gone last week over Kerryn. Fact.



Another preshow favorite. I actually don't hate his photo. It's just blah. Nothing great, nothing terrible. Unfortunately, aside from his shot with Branden and his water shot, almost all of his photos have been like this (I personally liked his mirror shot, but it was nothing spectacular at the same time).

I actually thought Colin was gonna last a lot longer because of his water shot. I thought he was robbed from the go-see that week, as well as from the one with Branden. Unfortunately, he was going through the phase of only doing well if the week was divisible by 3, and I'm sure the judges weren't having it.

It's sad to see him go, but honestly? It was his time. He had never been in the top, he had never won anything, and he was one of the weakest left. He arguably should've gone instead of Kerryn. I'm sad to see him go as a person, but not too much as a model. Though I'll admit, I'd feel a lot less terrible about it if he wasn't standing next to Amanda. I mean, really? Colin hasn't proven he's the model he looks like, but he was still better than Amanda. I'm pretty sure after Laury got cut, everyone was better than Amanda.

It's also sad we won't get to see him naked next week, but I'm sure he'd be too nervous about that. Poor boo.

Next week: The models are nakedddd! and Branden's testicles are bleeding. This better not take him out of the final four because I saw their shots from next week and he had one of my favorite shots. Continue reading...
