America's Next Top Branded Model

This season of America's Next Top Model has brought back, who they considered were fan favorites.  They call them Superstars or All Stars - something like that.  I knew at some point ANTM would have to do an "all star" episode, since just about all the other reality shows of this nature have, minus American Idol and other "talent" shows.

 Starting on the Top Row (from left to right): Shannon (1), Camille (2), Brittany (4), Bre (5)
Lisa (5), Bianca (9), Dominic (10), Isis (11), Sheena (11), Allison (12), Laura (13), Angelea (14), Kayla (15), Alexandra (16)

This past Wednesday they focused on branding because as with any product is it synonymous with one word, such as Safety (Volvo).  But before they got to the whole branding and why its important, Sheena was standing in the kitchen talking to - I can't remember her name - I think it was Laura about how she wants to be the first Asian America's Next Top Model because there has never been one.  As she puts it, all the Asian models are from Asian or Europe and skinny and edgy and she's more entertainment.  A few minutes later Tyra shows up at the house with Martin Lindstrom, who is the branding expert.  Martin gives each girl their brand name but not before ripping them all a new one on how people perceive them.

The Brand Names Given to the Models:
Shanon - Trustworthy
Dominic - Survivor
Allison - Unique
Angelea - Persistence
Bre - Girlfriend
Camille - Proud
Isis - Inspiration
Laura - Loveable
Alexandra - Tough
Bianca - Candid

After Martin leaves, Dominic and Camille are upstairs talking about what just took place and them wanting to win and such, but as they are talking, Bianca is walking by and for some unknown reason, thinks they are talking about her.  I am not a fan or Bianca's at all...AT ALL!  I think she's an evil person.  I remember how she was the first time she was on the show, and she was just a mean person - very mean and took pleasure in torturing others.  In her room she proceeds to tell Bre and this other girl (can't remember who it was) that Dominic and Camille were talking about her and as she telling them this Dominic ends up in her doorway and Black Heart (Bianca) goes off on Dominic and Dominic is shocked and liked she said, "Talk about deer in headlights" all the while, Black Heart is still going off.  After she's done showing her psychopathic self even more, Dominic says she doesn't know what Black Heart is talking about and leaves.  And I don't blame Dominic for leaving.


Later, they head over to Siren Studios where they meet J. Manuel and he's talking about the photo shoot they are about to do when Miss. J shows up with Ashlee Simpson.  They again bring up branding and how your image is your branding as well and thus they are going for a makeover. Or as they refer to to it: Tyover due to Trya deciding on all the haircuts/hair do's and so forth.

Alexandra is getting her hair cut shoulder length and after its done she loves it.  One of the girls thinks that Alexandra is over doing her like of the hair cut, which she very well might be, but I think she's trying to change a bit from the hard-ass to a more relaxed person and embracing things more.

Sheena is not having anything different done to her hair.  Keeping it long and black.

Bre is getting her cut shorter and she's not happy at all, especially when they start cutting.  They keep her hair about the same length on top (don't go by the pictures at the beginning of the post for they are old - I'll try to find a current one) but on the sides, they do shave it off and she has a bit of fuzz there and the hair cut looks really cute.  But Bre, being the baby she is, and being the best friend of Black Heart (so we have Black Heart and Cry Baby in the house), she runs off to another room and tell a producer that she wants someone to call her aunt to come get her because she's leaving.  She said when the hair cut started she was mad, but now she's at a rage.  The producer, for some unknown reason, talks Cry Baby into staying.  It could be for ratings, knowing that if this crazy broad is getting upset over a hair cut, there's no telling what else she's going to get upset over.


 Here they are during the current season before the makeover.
From left to right: Standing: Sheena, Camille, Angelea, Alexandra, Bre, Kayal
Sitting L to R: Isis, Lisa, Dominic, Brittany (the one behind Dominic), Laura
I don't see Black Heart or Shannon

Lisa gets her hair cut short and is complaining to Miss J, but eventually she accepts it and begins to own it.  Good for you Lisa.  Now can you tell Cry Baby to suck it up and put on her big girl pants.

Kayla is having her hair dyed back to red.  I thought she was going to be a complete red head like she was when she was on the show the first time, but instead, she has red through her black hair and it looks really good.

After the Tyovers, Miss J walks in and says its lunch time.  With him he has some hotdogs, but then they (Miss J and J. Manuel) explain that the hot dogs are from Pinky's, a famous hot dog stand in L.A and the girls are going to make a hot dog based on their brand that they were given earlier by Linstrom.  After they make their hot dogs they are going to do a photo shoot and the winner of the shoot will appear on the web site for Pinky's.

They all head back to the house where they receive Tyra-mail which informs them that tomorrow is elimination day.  So now the nerves are going and everyone is speculating on whom will be going home.

At elemination, the winner of the hot dog photo shoot is revealed: Lisa

And the one sent home is: Sheena

NEXT TIME:

The girls are interviewed by Mario Lopez of Extra
They do a photo shoot on stilts and Black Heart is afraid of heights, but its a group photo shoot and she's is in a group with Lisa and someone else.  Lisa says that if Black Heart don't get it together Black Heart is going to have to run, because Lisa is going to chase her down.
