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...

Last Friday, the competition kicked into high fashion gear on America's Next Top Model: College Edition. The girls were given the opportunity to accept or deny their makeovers. Maria Tucker of Harvard University opted out and ultimately left the show. With another model gone, the question on everyone's mind was, "Will someone be eliminated?" Unfortunately, yes and that someone was Darian Ellis of Lsu.
Sure, Darian may have been somewhat swept under the drama radar, keeping her less talked about versus other models, but her eyes were steadily focused on the ultimate prize of model swag. She expresses, "I didn't try to be someone I'm not," and anyone could easily see that. With a strong walk and signature pouty lips, Darian shed her braids and left a mark on this wild and wacky Top Model cycle.
I had the opportunity to give Darian a "final exam" interview, following her stint on the show.

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...
