I don't think I'll do this every week but...
Laury: Who? She doesn't seem to get a lot of screentime and I don't think she'll be on this show very long.
Jonathan: He seems cocky and I hate his hair, but seriously give him a buzz cut and he looks like David Beckham. YUM.
CJ: She's cute. She looks like Keira Knightley in this picture, but not in real life. Like everyone else, I felt terrible for her when Salome was like "I'm going to take you with me on the go-see because I can beat you!!!!" Oh, and I love that she is ~vilified~ for being 5'8". This is why I can't oppose Tyra's idea for a short cycle in C13 of ANTM. It's like, no supermodels are going to come out of either series, why not not be so damn serious?
Shawn: He's 30. Yeah, you can start modeling later in male modeling, but not at 30. Anyway, I didn't expect his cute squeaky voice to come out of that SERIOUSFACE, but he seems like a total sweetie.
Kerryn: Cute, but she didn't get very much screentime and seems a bit like filler. That's also not a flattering dress, like, at all.
Gabriel: This is a terrible photo, but he's such a fucking hottie on camera and in photos, I can't get over it. Ugh, he's like... too good-looking.
Jordan: Another girl in an unflattering garment. She's okay. I know she won the week and she was rocking it at the photoshoot while CJ was terrified, but the final photo they chose of her blows. I'm not sold yet.
Ken: Yeah, he was kind of a waste of space, but he seemed like a really nice guy and took his elimination extremely well; I thought he would be a douchebag from this photo. And yeah, I was riiiight there with that judge that said he had one heck of an ass. Ahem.
Karen: Who? Her face scares me. The judges always seem out to get the people who the public votes into the competition; this was the case last season, they already got rid of Ken, and with no more public voting system (THANK GOD), I don't think Karen will stick around very long...
Chris: Definitely my least favorite guy. I thought he could use his androgyny to be interesting but no, he just looks like a chick and kind of sucks as a model. Oh, and I can't get over how much he looks like Scarlett Johansson with tiny lips!
Mountaha: I don't knoooow. I think she might be the winner if Sandhurst isn't, but I definitely don't feel it. In person, she's really super cute and interesting-looking and I think her being Brazilian definitely adds an interesting layer. She photographs horribly, though. Her face is soooo busted-looking. She does seem to look really great in clothes, so maybe she'll make a great runway model.
Branden: Eh, he seems like a tool. When he was going on about how he was "exspecially not gay" I just wanted him to shut up. That said, he did kind of bring it to the shoot and he seemed to get over his icked-out-ness quite a bit. That said, because he's a homophobe and it's a Bravo show, he won't be here for very long.
Amanda: She is adorable but I don't remember much of anything she did. I can't believe she just had a baby! Models are insane.
Colin: Oh, man. My fave, if Sandhurst isn't. He is like... beautiful. And his personality seems really great too, like I loved loved loved his face when Tyson said he wanted to keep him because he had potential. It's like, I dunno, it seems like he's always been pretty dorky or something, and only now he's starting to realize how good-looking he is, and he can't quite believe it and he's always going to be, like, cute and modest. I do think he has a lot of work to do, but I also think he has tons of potential. And he's scaldingly hot. According to his Bravo bio, he goes to Carleton College. GAHHHH guess where I applied and got in but didn't go! Oh well, I'm plenty happy going where I went. ;) He seems cute on his Twitter too. OKAY I'LL STOP BEING A STALKER NOW.
Salome: One of my favorite girls, I think. She's beautiful and she rocked the photoshoot and did quite well on the runway. I feel like she seriously needs to develop her social skills though, due to the incident with CJ. Her naivete might be her downfall if she has one.
Sandhurst: Ugh, love him. He rocks at everything and he's gorgeous in a really, really interesting way. My only issue with him is that at this point, it already seems like he's the winner. And I like a little more suspense than that. :P
In conclusion, all the guys are hot and the girls honestly seem pretty good too. I like that Tyson and the other girl (ah, Nicole Triunfo, thanks TWoP recap) are kind of mentors, even if they're not great hosts. The photoshoot sucked. All the final photos are so super awkward, you can't see the faces and you can hardly see the bodies, and the only photo where I really like both of the people in it is Salome and Gabriel's.
Next week: Yes, Bravo, we know Australian lady calls someone "a tasteless version of Kate Moss," can you stop running that line over and over and over and over in every promo? It reminds me of Toby's "witty comments" from Top Chef, shudder.
