In the 10th installment of America's Next Top Model: College Edition (is it still college-themed?), the model-hopefuls continue their Jamaican education by meeting Bob Marley's least-known progeny, slip-sliding down waterfalls, and confronting Tyra Banks' greatest fear (spoiler: it's dolphins). In other words, they complete a smattering of stereotypical Spring Break-style activities -- I realize as I type this that "Spring Break" would've been a much more logical explanation for the destination that Tyra's "I shot my first swimsuit cover here," but Antm basks in the stench of missed opportunity, so here we are.
The episode opens with stock shots of Jamaican shores and obligatory shots of the Half Moon resort, where the cast and crew are being put up at an assumedly discounted rate. The girls saunter into their suite in floral wraps and briefly discuss anorexcellent Victoria's untimely departure while studying Nastasia's winning photo,...

America's Next Top Model left off last week with a decision that will have major implications for the rest of cycle 19. One of the eliminated contestants would get a chance to re-enter the competition and make another run at the title, which could go one of two ways. Either the girl that comes back will be on a roll, having won over the social media crowd, and challenge for the top spot, or she would go from being the big fish in a small pond to a guppy in a the Top Model ocean and not live up to the opportunity that she had been afforded. If the right girl managed to get plucked from a near-elimination and dropped back into the competition, there could be trouble for the current favorites.

Due to America's Next Top Model going on hiatus this week, making room for The CW to rerun two of its fall pilots, it seems like a good time to take a breath and see where the remaining six models stand in the competition. After going through shoots with cheerleaders, owls, and the walking dead, as well as acting challenges and a runway to save a life, the girls are right on the cusp of go-sees and going international. The goal of becoming America's Next Top Model is within grasp, which may be exciting but could also induce unforced errors that could knock a model out of the competition permanently.
The final six are pretty well-divided into three different categories. There's a decided frontrunner who has the competition on her raquet, there are two models that could provide decent/good competition, and there are three models that are looking more...

America's Next Top Model tends to keep the photo shoots that it does fairly light and fluffy. There may be an occasional high fashion shoot or a shoot that leans more on natural beauty, but for the most part, a Top Model shoot is as much about the actual modeling as it is about the girl's ability to adapt to the elements.
The next episode of Top Model, titled "The Girl Who Gets Pwn'd," will take the remaining models into a thematic area that the show has yet to explore: steampunk. Complete with a live owl and Victorian-influenced fashion, the shoot is the most high fashion of the cycle and requires a type of power that not every model remaining possesses. Currently dangling closest to the edge of elimination is Yvonne, who has a confrontation with Bryanboy in the preview for the episode, while Brittany narrowly escaped the bottom two...

Cheerleading, tears, and a melodramatic finale -- no, this isn't "Bring It On 3: All Or Nothing," it's the latest installment of "America's Next Top Model!" If you recall, this cycle's theme is "College Edition," although that flimsy premise has dried up by Episode 5, and we are treated to the formless Antm structure of yester cycles. The petty drama takes off as soon as the models return to the house: Laura is "President" of the house this week due to her high scores at judging, and thusly enjoys the lackluster charms of the Tyra Suite. Unlike Victoria, who greedily hoarded the whole room to herself, Laura invites bitchyboo Kristen to cohabitate, prompting Leila's jealousy and a girl-on-girl "obsession" plotline that reverberates throughout the episode. The camera pans over a dingy sink, overflowing with dishes, as Leila waxes self-pitiful, which, if you're familiar with the Antm editing process, does not bode well for her.

With the elimination of Leila at the end of the last episode of America's Next Top Model, the competition officially turned serious. Once a frontrunner with her unusual beauty and strong portfolio, Leila had an extremely poor week in every aspect and crashed out of the competition much earlier than anticipated. The new Top Model format might not be perfect, but her elimination served as a warning to the rest of the models. One poor week and you could be gone, no matter how much potential you show or how you've performed to that point.
Therefore, it's not surprising that some of the models have become a little more tense. We're well into the competition and one wrong move, particularly from a bottom feeder, might end their dream forever. The model most feeling the pressure, judging from the preview below, is Yvonne, who is coming off her best week on the show.

If there was any justice in the world (and creativity in my body this late on a Friday night), this recap would be written from the perspective of Laura's hot pink eyebrows, which will almost certainly be receiving a starring credit next week. It'd be right in line with how the rest of "The Girl Who Sings For Alicia Keys" went, as the child of famous parents received nearly every inch of spare camera time in one of the more one-note edits I think I've ever seen on America's Next Top Model. For 42 minutes, we got to see Laura cry, confront a fear of heights, have an argument, make a new ally, lose an old ally, impress Kelly, put on a fashion show, and nearly win a trip to an Alicia Keys concert, her confessionals racking up more screen time than Bryanboy has in four episodes.

This week's episode of "America's Next Top Model" ran the gamut in terms of genre, throwing us everything from mean girls to Tyler Perry to zombies. There's something for everyone! The scene opens on the Top Model house: Victoria won Best Photo last week, and thusly savors the luxuries afforded to the weekly "president," aka access to the Tyra Suite and not much else. In an unexpected diva move, Vicki opts to stay in the suite alone instead of sharing the wealth, a bitch-play I deeply appreciate. Kiara keenly observes that Vicki might lack the social skills garnered by those who attend schools outside of their own homes, a surprising insight for someone with shaved eyebrows. Semi-plus-size shovel-face Yvonne laments her Yeti looks and lack of fans; I say she needs to bounce out on her misshapen booty Asap.

The Top Model makeover episode is still, more often than not, one of the highlights of each cycle. It may not have the same initial trainwreck-y type of fascination to it than it did during the show's heyday, but you can usually count on the episode to produce at least one major breakdown and at least one impressive transformation. Depending on what goes on during the makeover episode, a cycle can be made, undone, and flipped completely upside down, confidence issues and perceived favoritism tending to be the leading culprit. The girls that come out of the makeover the strongest are the ones that take the change of direction in stride and use the different look in order to flex their modeling skills and grow before out very eyes.

America's Next Top Model 19.02 "The Girl Who Cries Home" Recap
Now that we have the top 13 girls picked to live in a house to find out what happens when people stop being polite in hopes of becoming America's Next Top Model, cycle 19 will begin to take shape. Going into the premiere last week, you didn't know what the show would look like after an offseason of turnover and makeover - make no mistake, Top Model will be Top Model come hell or high water, but after 19 cycles, change can be a little scary. Can the show manage to keep its (decidedly distinct) personality while evolving in all the right ways?
The Tyra Suite...and Other Goodies
You thought Top Model had done the most regarding how much change they've implemented? Apparently, they're just getting started, since "The Girl Who Cries Home" began with Tyra explaining that the expanded prizes, new judges,...

America's Next Top Model 19.01 "The Girl Who Makes the Grade" Recap
Y'all, the casting episode of Top Model has made its triumphant return to the runway.
In recent times, the show had been trying to evolve into Top Model 2.0, a bigger, better, and battier version of itself that tossed out certain elements of formula and replaced them with...chaos and a whole lot of ridiculous. Like, even more than before and that's saying a lot. But following a ratings collapse and viewer revolt once the cycle 17 finale ended in the wonkiest way imaginable, leaving a promising British Invasion cycle on an island by its lonesome, a little bit of old Top Model has returned. Case in point: the resurrection of the casting episode, where Miss Tyra herds a group of ladies together and lets them be silly, talk about one another behind their backs, and ultimately get their stomp on down the catwalk.

"America's Next Top Model" introduced some huge changes for the 19th cycle, the College Edition. What did you think?
The Selection Show
Tyra welcomes 30 semifinalists to a sorority-style house, looking like she just crawled up the beach after being marooned on an island. Seriously, what is going on with her hair? And she brings out the new judges. We miss Nigel, Jay and Miss J already.
After the girls do a walk-off and a photoshoot, they have their interviews with the judges and the reading of the fans' messages is old after one person. That is just not interesting. The girls range from a home-schooled weird girl named Victoria who sounds like Sarah Palin and plays the race card in a very awkward way, to a "Kitty" who likes to meow and looks like Audra McDonald to Kristin, a girl who likes to brawl, is wearing clown-level rouge and thinks...
