America's Next Top Model

Is it just me or is this really a group of ugly girls this season? I know Tyra likes them awkward and stupid looking, but come on! The only one remotely likable is Ann and she's the freakiest looking one of the bunch. She takes some good pictures, but looks almost like a man when she's not made up. 

So this week the challenge was to convey a set look while riding a roller coaster. Can you say "jump the shark"? Did Vogue Italia really sign up for this crap?  Only one girl managed to show anything close to what they expected of her and that was Liz. Good job, I guess, not that impressed with the whole thing.  The photoshoot was shot through water , beauty shots with the girls lying on their backs looking like mermaids and modeling jewelry. Good job done by most of them, still don't understand the call out order AT ALL. Anyway, Rihanna was found lacking and she went home. Really?? Her picture was so much better than Liz's and she wasn't a whiny baby about it.

Maybe it's my prejudice speaking (since my daughter was a part of Cycle 13), but what happened to the pretty girls? Did the fact that you had almost all pretty girls in the petite cycle ruin things for you Tyra so that you only even look at weird looking girls now?
