ANTM: Cycle 11

[jennyfee]

Hey, for those of you who are speculating that this is the last season, i have exciting news!

I watched the Tyra show the other day, and it was an ANTM special, with Nigel Barker and Paulina, and they said that this was definitely not the last season, they said to tune it to season 12, and then 13, 14, 15, blablabla so tyra was basically saying that shell be hosting this show when she's going to be 60 years old lol
So anyway who knows if that's true, it might be pure bluff, but it doesnt look like the last season to me
BTW i loooove that show even if i live in Canada and they dont air it here anymore and i have to watch it on youtube
at least i dont have to worry about missing it lol

 

[Lauren1981]

that's good!
i don't think she'd bluff on her own show...... well, i HOPE not

so i have another question for anyone to answer...... may be a stupid one but i'll chance it......
i thought "transgender" meant that they had already gone through a surgical change. i thought "transvestite" was just when they cross-dressed.........
is that right or wrong??? and if it is right then it's safe to say that Isis has already gone through surgery and is physically considered a female, right????

Transgender is someone born as one sex, and identifies as the opposite. Transvestite, transexual, transgender all virtually mean the same thing, transgender is generally the most respectful term, followed by transexual, then transvestite.

A cross dresser is just that, a cross dresser. generally a cross dresser dresses as the opposite sex for set periods of time, like working at a club or something. If you're dressing and acting as the opposite sex full on it's basically a transgender.

These aren't rules or anything, this is just what I personally beleive and have gathered from people I know.

yea ;-;

 

[Lauren1981]

thanks chad ;-) (or jenny)
i was just confused. i assumed it meant she already had the surgery but then some of the comments i've seen have said something about her hiding her penis. lol! so yea, i was PRETTY confused...........

Whitney won the last season. She was the pus-sized girl.

The rest of what you said makes sense, but I don't think I agree with this line here. There are some men who are men during their day to day activities, but then are drag queens at night. They are still men, and they identify so. Some are gay, some are straight, but many of them identify as male.

And then there are those who just like the feel of wearing ladies clothing at anytime, sometimes out in the open, but they are still very much male-identified. David Beckham sometimes wears pink nail polish and wears his wife's underwear, but he's still very much a manly man.

So many facets out there, it's hard to pin it down to just a few categories.

 

[Mabelle]

honestly, i feel that she's being use dto generate more buzz (for a show thats becoming stale) and ratings.
She seems like a decent model, but i dont think she'll be well recieved by the media. I mean, the were a bunch of christian groups that were going to boycott johnson and johnson because they owned a soap opera that feature a gay couple kissing.

I really hope this will change peoples minds, but i don't think it will. And i have a feeling that they'll be some horrible comments made within the house.

ummm...I live in Canada too and they do show ANTM here. At the exact same time as they do in the US. So I don't understand what you mean

I'm so over ANTM though. I watched the first 4-5 seasons religeousely and then it started getting lame. So for the last couple of seasons I've been watching only the first and last episodes.

Lol yea I said this to myself too. I watched it on CityTv I think. I never watched any of the seasons except for the last one. I thought it was kind of a hoax that Whitney won. Like how many times was she in the bottom and they still kept her? And oh god her Italian commercial was AWFUL! It was so fake. But not as bad as that dumb girl's. I can't remember her name, with the white hair.

 

[Mabelle]

^ anya. I liked anya the best. I think she was the best modelm and aside from her strange/vacant sounding voice, i liked her in person. She was herself. Whitney was so fake.

 

[fafinette21]

Yea Anya took good photos, but seriously what was up with her voice? I hated listening to her because it sounded like there was absolutely nothing going on upstairs.

 

[chocolategoddes]

I also liked Anya's look. She was THE most high-fashion girl of all the seasons. I think she'll do great in modeling without ANTM.

Off-topic: I can't see Whitney (the plus-size winner) being that successful in modeling. Her "fakeness" seems to really translate into her photos (especially her swimsuit spread in Seventeen magazine) IMO... :/

I just talked to my Transexual friend and confirmed this for me, thanks for the correction XD.

 

[clwkerric]

I can't wait for the show to start! Not too much longer!!
I read in the paper that they were coming to us in Tampa Aug 30th for casting. Which I think was odd because if they are already casting the "transgender" then I would already asume they have the rest of the cast?

 

[chocolategoddes]

^^^ Maybe it's for the next season. I guess that would mean this ISN'T the last season! Yay, beacuse my bff is going to try-out for ANTM when she turns 18.

 

[armi]

ANTM is getting lamer and lamer every cycle.. In first bout 5 cycles the girls reaaally wanted to win so bad, but last season it felt like they didn't even try so hard? Like those Italian CoverGirl-videos.. oh my god, they were soo bad.
And I have heard that Whitney's win could be a hoax. Dunno.
Well, still I'm going to watch cycle 11.. makeover-episode is always the best. I hope that cycle 11 would be more interesting than previous.. five cycles..

i totally agree about last season. Whitney did not look like a model at all. the people that actually looked like one, in my opinions, were Anya, Stacey Ann, and Fatima

 

[Nox]

Whitney is a bit too "in between" to be a high fashion model or a plus sized model. But she is a very pretty girl with great bone structure. It's a shame that mid-sized models aren't more glorified since they represent the majority of women.

Anyhow, the last cycle, I thought Anya and Fatima had the best chances at success for being high fashion with their body type. The others... eh.

I really started to become disillusioned from the show when I watched Next Top Models shows franchised in different countries. Germany's is so much easier on the eyes. They actually pick usable contestants, they are not catfighting all the time, and they are scolded for bad behavior. They generally look and behave like real models. Unlike ANTM that let's the girls run amok all for the sake of good television, and they are not even groomed properly (the makeover show for starters is YUCK!)

 

[M.A.C. head.]

I'm excited. I've loved that show since the first epi of the first season, and I'm not going to just give up on it.

The challenges are cool and fun to watch and I love to watch the drama unfold. I love the crazy antics of the judges, the cool places they get to go, and the fashion and make up ideas period.

As for the transgendered contestant, good for her. I don't think the terms and conditions of the show state that only natural born females can participate. It'd be discriminatory if it did.

If she has model potential, I don't see the problem.

 

[Lauren1981]

omg! how remembers last season when they had the challenge on that wierd surface with the water and claire said she wanted to dive in and jay told her no and she did it anyway??????????????
