'America's Next Top Model': Weight Gain Sends Contestant Home
Here's John-John on last week's ANTM. -- SKK
Last week's episode began with the girls taking on the role of being a creative director for a South Pole Jr. photo shoot featuring one another.
Aminat ran into problems when she was matched with her enemy Natalie. She took too long styling Natalie, which resulted in Natalie not being ready for the photo shoot. Mr. Jay Manuel wasn't too pleased.
Teyona exceled when she styled Celia. Allison also exceled when she styled Aminat. London struggled with Allison; Mr. Jay didn't like London's style.
Teyona won the challenge. As a result, she picked Celia and Aminat to join her in a Seventeen magazine spread.
The next day, Mr. Jay came to the Top Model house at 5:30 a.m. and surprised the girls with the news that they were going to participate in a special shoot with R&B singer Ciara, who dropped by the house a little later. All the contestants hopped in Ciara's stretched pink SUV limo and went to the set of the shoot.
Once on set the girls learned that the shoot required them to act like crazed fans attempting to get near Ciara.
London, who had been lamenting about her weight gain for weeks, hated the shoot because all the models were required to wear a bikini wrapped in microphone wires. (Don't even ask.) Mr. Jay didn't do her any favors by taking her to the side to talk to her about her weight. He told her that a top model needs to treat her body like a temple. (Lord have mercy!)
Mr. Jay said that Aminat was the worst of the day. (Can you say foreshadowing?)
Before the judging began, the contestants found out that the top six finishers were off to Brazil for the next part of the cycle. That unfortunately meant that the next castoff would not be joining them.
The judges were not pleased with Aminat. They liked Celia, and Teyona. Miss J Alexander ripped up London for her weight. The judges praised Fo's body angles. Allison also got favorable review.
The judges voted that Teyona had the best photo followed by Fo, Natalie, Celia and Allison. It was down to Aminat and London in the bottom two.
Tyra Banks told Aminat that she had a strong body, beautiful skin, and face. She also said that Aminat might be limited to runway modeling. London on the other hand had beautiful bone structure and "smiling eyes." Tyra also made a comment about London's weight gain.
In the end, it was London's weight gain that sent her home. She later said that she would continue to model.
