Tomorrow night marks the America's Next Top Model: College Edition season finale! Nastasia Scott was a shoe-in for the Top 3, yet she met her elimination last week. Making it to the Top 4, Nastasia made it look so easy. Her beautiful photos exude "model" and she managed to keep out of drama's way, too!
Care to see what Nastasia had to say about being a part of this season's crazy ups and downs? Luckily, I had the opportunity to give her a "final exam" interview. I'd like to take the time to thank her for answering my questions.

Hello there, and welcome back to the wet and wild world of America's Next Top Model! This week's installation was weird all-around, from the lazy editing to the equine violence to the self-deprecating confessionals. In fact, the entire mood surrounding the episode was somber -- I kept noticing how completely devastated and strung out all the girls were, despite the looming mixed bag of prizes. In cycles of yore, the contestants would be stressed, yes, as the competition neared its close, but also optimistic and somewhat jubilant -- I don't know what kind of maltreatment has been going down in the Top Model house this time around, but everyone looks severely wounded and desperate to escape.
The episode opens with staged shots of each girl pensively pacing the beach as she considers her Top Model existence. Sepia-tone images of the judges fade across the screen, accompanied by the soft echo of former critiques like,...

Ding, dong, the witch is gone! Or something like that. With Kristin eliminated, America's Next Top Model: College Edition season 19 is sure to be happier.
Only four models remain. Kiara, Nastasia, Laura and Leila will be tested on their performances in front of the camera. Yeah, I know they've been in front of the camera for weeks, but this time it's for a commercial.

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,...

Ding dong! The bitch is dead.
The reality villain is someone who can bring a lot of life into a season of television. That love-to-hate personality type may not be someone you'd want to have tea with on a Saturday morning, but when pitted against a cast that you don't like, it can make for incredibly compelling television to watch them try to mow down the entire field by themselves. However, they can easily wear out their welcome and become more of a hindrance on a season's enjoyment than an asset, particularly if they're more bark than bite or if their level of talent doesn't match up to their level of trash talk. Cycle 19 of Top Model finally decided to get rid of their villain tonight and I'll be the first to say: Good Riddance.

The CW has announced that the cycle 19 finale of America's Next Top Model will be a two-hour event. The first hour, airing on November 16th at 8:00, will crown the next winner of the venerable reality franchise, while the second hour ("The Girl With The Best Top Model Freakout") will feature never-before-seen footage from the cycle. Typically, this type of episode would air the week before the finale in place of a new episode, but this year, The CW decided to use it in a different way, perhaps as a way to keep momentum late in the cycle. As a result of the schedule change, the episode of Nikita that had been slated to air that night has been postponed until a later date.
Currently, America's Next Top Model is down to the final five, as Leila, Laura, Kristin, Kiara, and Nastasia are battling for the top spot while in Jamaica.

On the last episode of America's Next Top Model, the final six headed to Jamaica for the next part of the competition, culminating in a dance-off, a love triangle, and the elimination of Victoria. It was an episode that featured the return of potential power player Leila, something that threw Laura off her game and will play a key role in the rest of cycle 19. Mostly, it established that Jamaica will be a fruitful international destination for the show, able to provide some truly beautiful backdrops for photo shoots.
Next week on Top Model, the fierce five will be thrown head first into said backdrop, as the photo shoot takes place under a potentially dangerous waterfall. But there's not much time for Laura, Kristin, Nastasia, Leila, and Kiara to be overly concerned about their safety, since Tyra will be the guest photographer for the shoot and they'll need to put...

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.

Hello all, and welcome! Before I get down to recapping this week's eventless go-sees and subsequent waste of a good prison rental space, I'd like to discuss the Tyrabomb that was dropped this week (which I saw via terrifying Instagram post): namely, that the theme of Cycle 20 of America's Next Top Model (yes, it somehow got renewed) will be Boys And Girls. Yes, you read correctly – Tyra, assumedly in a scramble to salvage the rapidly sinking SS Antm, has revoked her pledge to never have male contestants on her show (Isis excluded) and swallowed her claim that there are no name-recognition male models. I admit, there was a time when I had dreams of becoming a model, but Tyra had shut her doors to my unfortunate gender. I feel slighted, overlooked, and frankly, disappointed in Antm. All I can say is Their Loss.
Now on to this week's episode!

America's Next Top Model came back from hiatus right when the competition was revving up. Down to the final six and on the edge of going international, the show still had yet to bring back a competitor and had more than enough time to continue the gelling at panel. The cycle had been more about getting used to the changes that had been implemented before the season began, but now that we're halfway through, it's time that tentativeness gave way to Top Model insanity.
But did the return episode, "The Girl Who Comes Back," keep the momentum going? And, well, who came back?
Teams for Two and Two for Teams
The girls head to Smashbox where they meet Kelly, who tells them that they will be doing go-sees this week, go-sees that will be for actual jobs. The catch is, though, each of the five designers (Guess, Whitney Port, Charlotte Ronson,...

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...

Have you ever licked soda off of a dirty floor? Or referred to your eating disorder as a "stress relief?" How about dry-heaving into a toilet while a stranger takes pictures? If you answered yes to any one of these questions, then you have something in common with the contestants from this week's episode of "America's Next Top Model." If you answered yes to all of the questions, then you are my trashy twin and should maybe curb your drinking habits. But yes, after weeks of aimless creative fumbling, the "Antm" machine has reverted to its delicious comfort zone: we're talking dumpster-diving, shade-tossing, anorexia-centric TV gold, and its crassness could not have come soon enough.

I've struggled with my perception of Victoria, pretty much since she popped onto the Top Model audition episode espousing about the Trail of Tears. Her (unintentional) humor has been one of my favorite things about cycle 19 and much of the time, I'm entertained by how unusual of a person she seems to be. Top Model often repeats archetypes and personalities, to the point where you know the dynamic the house will have before the cycle even starts, so it's been nice having a round peg trying to fit into the square Top Model circle. Though I can't help but giggle at how committed she gets at a photo shoot or the continued drubbing she gives Kiara in her confessionals, Victoria's had many moments that make me believe that she doesn't have the emotional fortitude it takes to become America's Next Top Model. The asocial behavior, the dangerously co-dependent relationship with her mother,...

It's hard to believe, perhaps, but we're already on episode six of America's Next Top Model's 14th (yes, 14th) season. Despite the soul-crushing feeling that this show may have run its course, onward we tread - and admittedly, the casting this season has made it all worthwhile. Returning to the house after the last panel, Nastasia gets to go into the Tyra Suite since she won best photo. She of course chooses Kiara to share her prize and the two celebrate the victory by doing a lot of shrieking. Meanwhile, in the bathroom in the main part of the house, Laura is ranting to Victoria about how she's normally "laid back" but now she's "over it" and needs to win absolutely everything going forward. Well, yes, Laura, that is sort of the point. Brittany is sitting in bed, still reeling from Leila's loss. She's also embarrassed (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.

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?

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...
