Mike Ruiz, our favorite sexy photographer, stopped by America's Next Top Model this week for a CoverGirl-inspired shoot on New York City's subway system. Prior to this, the remaining eight girls dabbled in "high society" by mingling with industry insiders at a party hosted by Tinsley Mortimer.
However, the real challenges existed within the top model house, as drama heated up between two rival tribes of competitors. Brenda, Jessica and Raina formed what I like to call the "Elitist White Girl Bitchy Cunt Squad", and they chose Alasia and Angelea as targets for their reign of terror. Too bad one of them wound up going home in the end! Click through to find out which of these three girls didn't match the judges' expectations.

AND NUMBER ONE THIS WEEK…
1. ALEXANDRA (LW – 7): It's almost as if Alexandra didn't exist in this episode. When one of the girls was describing the rival tribes of the house, her name wasn't even mentioned. What the fuck, ladies? Is it because she's "fat"? Or did she just manage to stay out of your bullshit drama?
This shot seriously should have been chosen as best picture. Alexandra managed to capture Upper East Side glamour without looking too snobby, and she's totally working the whole "smile with your eyes" thing. Hell, this picture even made me want to wear CoverGirl makeup. Keep your fingers crossed that she can maintain this level of fierceness, because you know the judges will snip her at the very first opportunity.
2. KRISTA (LW – 3): This picture proves that Krista has what it takes to do commercial modeling. From the neck up, I would say this is the most "CoverGirl" of all eight shots. My one issue? Her body looks as skinny as the poles on this subway car. Since she's such a tall and thin girl, she needs to learn how to work her angles. Otherwise, it's going to start looking like her head doesn't fit on the rest of her frame.
3. ALASIA (LW – 6): When it comes to matters of Alasia, I can't seem to figure out what the judges want from her. This isn't a bad shot in my mind, because it's one of the first times we've seen any warmth in her eyes. Why do I like Alasia as soon as the judges start hating on her? Perhaps she's just more exciting as an underdog…
4. ANSLEE (LW – 8): If we're being extremely blunt, I'm not a fan of Anslee's face. Beyond her shitty attitude towards others, there's something very off-putting about her features. Or maybe it's just the way she presents them? Either way, she turned out a decent shot this week, and she's completely working that smug little smirk.
5. ANGELEA (LW – 1): As much as I love Angelea and her tendency to make cat claws at people, I was utterly confused by the judges' unanimous praise of this photo. She looks beautiful here, but her take on the "fashionista" doesn't look very approachable. Watching her on set was infuriating. I kept wanting to see her do more, but Jay Manuel kept showering her with compliments for moving her head around a few inches. When it all comes down to it, I should just shut the fuck up and be happy my girl won best picture.
6. RAINA (LW – 5): They called her third for this piece of shit picture. Although she looks vaguely pretty here, the goal was to channel an "East Village Rocker". Aside from the styling, there's nothing rock 'n' roll about this picture. Not to mention that she looks remarkably blank. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is bordering on the lines of "dreckitude".
7. JESSICA (LW – 2): There was some point when Brenda and Jessica were discussing the concept of classiness. Their intentions were to speak negatively about Angelea or Alasia, but I couldn't help from thinking that they didn't understand the definition of class. Since when is unintentionally getting pregnant the first time you have sex as a teenager considered "classy"? I rest my case.
In this picture, Jessica seems to have a bit of fear in her eyes. Whether or not she was actually afraid of anything is up for debate, but when it all comes down to it… this just isn't a very good image.
GONE… BRENDA (LW – 4): For one of the older girls in the competition (or at least the one who looked the oldest), Brenda came off as incredibly immature and whiney. With only a few good moments in front of the camera, her inconsistency was ultimately her undoing. You can't look fabulous in some shots and look like a chipmunk in others! Obviously, we're not sad to see her go.
I love how Anslee, Krista, and Alexandra stayed out of all the drama this week. Jessica and Raina showed some self-defense and I love it. I want to like Angelea, but she’s really immature and an instigator. Alasia is also immature, very loud, and annoying!! To be honest, I can’t see Alasia or Angelea making it in the industry. I can see Anslee and Alasia leaving soon.
I am so glad Brenda is gone what an old looking bitch! Jessica totally came off like a entitled cunt, I like Alasia and no matter how loud or whatever people think of her, who the hell has the right to speak to her the way some of them have? I think anyone would get upset.
Good to see Nicole in the episode though, she looked good.
do you know where I can watch the episode?
#1 Alasia is just a carbon copy of Bre from a previous cycle….she’s just annoying loud and truly ghetto and they both would say they are ghetto. The fugliest person in all fashion…no not Tyra, Andre DeLeonTalley or whatever….seriously just because Alasia is black and a train wreck he’s trying to nurse this pathetic girl. She’s NOT a model.
#2 Alexandra got a good photo, but smizing???? really? i thought it looked more like her right eye was a lazy eye. lol
#3 Krista, I too thought she was sooo damn skinny, the judges NEEDED to comment on that because being RAIL thin is NOT COVER GIRL
#4 Jessica, she’s a pretty girl and can do commercial modeling, end of story.
#5 Brenda….she has extremely strong jaw line and that makes her appear to look like an old hag just like…..
#6 Anslee…really she looks so damn old. Also casting her moves ANTM back in actually trying to cast model looking girls. She brings NOTHING.
#7 Raina….her wolf picture is still the best in the season and her face is just the most high fashion of them all.
#8. Analea…she looked DRECKTITUDE at panel, what made her loook good in the photo was simply…THE HAIR!!!! Btw that shot is SO NOT COVERGIRL…it’s a great beauty shot, but seriously does covergirl want a photo of a bitch look selling their product…..NO!
I wish I could be in casting and help fat-ass bitch Tyra pick the girls, I dont give a SHIT about their stories and honestly does Covergirl OR 17 really want some skank slut that had a kid at 16 being a potential role model?? Hell No!!!
I’m 99.9% sure that every ANTM Winner ISNT a mom! So that should tell us that a mom will never win!
I thought it was really funny how the judges didn’t like Jessica’s “attitude” when she defended her shoes and yet they chose Angelea as #1 pic and she has the worst attitude of them all. I liked her up until this episode, and I really wish Alasia would go home. She knows nothing about fashion or the industry and just gets lucky with her pictures, which is why they sent the Coroner girl home last week. She’s also a huge ghetto brat. Raina, Jessica and Alexandra are the only girls left that I like. I hope they stick around.
