OMFG, they cut Katarzyna.
I can scarcely believe it; she was my #1 pick. That brings us to what i call The Chad Philosophy: “Does this girl have any chance of winning the competition?” Chad believes that this is an important criteria in determining who will be eliminated (or more to the point, who will NOT be eliminated). I will raise the stakes by saying that it is THE most important criteria. The only other criteria that i think of as being important is: Could this girl actually get a job modeling? or Is this girl a model? Lets evaluate, shall we:
1) Whitney – Is she a model? Yes, with a caveat: she’s a full figured model. She wouldn’t be in the same shows as the other girls, but she certainly could be a model. Actually, it’s weird, this week’s “photo challenge” showed shed doesn’t really have an ounce of fat, and i have to agree that she may actually BE the mythological “big boned”. Can she win? No.
2) Katarzyna - Is she a model? Yes, i would expect her to have a modeling career. Probably in runway, maybe some print as well regardless of the show. Can she win? Yes (that is to say that she could have, had the judges not felt threatened by her radiant beauty.)
3) Anya – Is she a model? Yes, she looks like a model, and she has talent. She may not sound like a model, but how would anybody ever know? Models don’t talk. (unless they’re in Covergirl commercials for the Baltimore tourism department.) Can she win? She will win. All she has to do is turn her toes in, and it’s model gold.
4) Fatima – Is she a model? If she looked less like a coyote, i’d say maybe. Chad says yes. Her walk is horrendous. I don’t think she’s very photogenic, and she wears that stupid North Face looking jacket that would make her right at home in a sorority in Ann Arbor in 1998. Can she win? I hope not.
5) Dominic – Is (s)he a model? There are male models, but that’s not what the gig calls for. NO. Can (s)he win? If Jasleen hadn’t won i would say no, but if one drag queen can win, it’s not inconceivable that it could happen again.
I’m sorry, but this is not the worst picture in the bunch. No question about it. I refuse to placate Tyra’s vast ego and praise this photography. The frame’s crooked, and way too dark. “Hey Tyra, there’s a histogram feature on your camera that’ll show you when the photo’s too dark, maybe you should take a look at that, actually, just turn the knob to Auto, it’s clear that you shouldn’t be in charge of those controls.”
Tyra just wants drama so we don’t know who’ll be eliminated.
Back room meeting: “I have an idea, there’ll be more drama in the show if we don’t pay any attention to talent or potential, lets just make the decision with this Ouija board, then the audience will never know what to expect.”
