[Recap] America's Next Top Model 2.0 Guys Girls (2013) Episode 7 & 8


Sorry for the late recap. I will not recap the episode 7 as a whole, but I will give my score to those photos because I did not watch in my, let's call it free time. So, I did not really make a note and only watched it as an entertainment. Enjoy !

Episode 7
Jourdan
Was : 8
Now : 9

It was and is amazing !
Marvin
Was : 7
Now : 7

I am not crazy about this photo as much as the judges. His face is amazing, but I do not think it is that great to be the runner up.
Cory
Was : 7
Now : 7

He looks super straight. Same as Marvin's, I do not think this photo deserves that high praise from the judges. I do not know why, but they supposed to sell the nail art. However, we can see it THAT MUCH ! Especially Tyra's face in Cory's nail.
Chris
Was : 8
Now : 10

PICTURE OF THE WEEK ! Period. I wonder why Chris gets a super low social media score despite his photos are great, not just good.
Don
Was : 5
Now : 7

His eyes are amazing. It looks better in second viewing.
Renee
Was : 5
Now : 5

She is this cycle's Kiara. They produce mediocre photos that are overrated by the judges. They have social media score. Unfortunately, they go far.
Nina
Was : 8
Now : 7

I do not like it as much as I used to. If Chris is underrated by the fans, she is underrated by the judges.
Jiana
Was : 8
Now : 7

Same as Nina's, but I think it is (quite( fierce. She should get earlier call out than Renee !
Phil
Was : 6
Now : 4

Phil is the male version of Renee. His photos are mediocre, but the judges like it and he goes quite far.
Kanani
Was : 7
Now : 6

It is so sad that she got smize nail art, but she did not smize. Her eyes are dead, but her photo is still better than Phil and Renee
Jeremy
Was : 6
Now : 7

I think this is Jeremy's bets photo so far. He and Kanani should have been saved, while Phil and Renee packed their bag to go home !









Comeback Series :
Chlea
Was : 5
Now : 6

She is kind of look pretty here.
Mike
Was : 4
Now : 4

"Hi fans, I get my nails done. It is cute, isn't it ?"
Alexandra
Was : 7
Now : 8

She usually looks hot and sexy, but she gives different expression. It is sweet !











Episode 8 :
The remaining models talk about double elimination. We can see how fragile Marvin is. He misses Jeremy and Kanani until he ... cries. He is also scared that he almost missed Phil too. He is too sensitive, even the girls do not cry at all.

They are back to the house. Jourdan feels good and bad at the same time when she sees her best photo. Renee likes Jourdan doing great because she will feel even better when she beats Jourdan. In your dream, Renee ! Jeremy left a note for Marvin. Marvin cries ...  again.

The models go to Melrose Avenue for meeting Kelly and challenge. The challenge is divided into two parts. First, they have to answer fashion quiz to get credits. After that, they have to spend their credit to create a killer look. The winner of the challenge will get $2,000 credit from myeveryneed.com. Kelly asks them one more thing. In order to create a killer look, they have to be a blank canvas aka strip down in their undies only. Thank god it's Kelly, not bryanboy or Perez Hilton.

During the quiz, some of them just guess. Some of them are lucky, like Marvin or very unlucky, like Phil who only gets $25. Renee questions Cory for not knowing much about fashion industry because he is gay. It is so stereotypical and prejudice, but I thought Cory would nail it too. Renee answers all the questions correctly. She is the only who gets $250. Jourdan gets $225, Chris and Jiana get $175, Nina gets $150. Cory, Don and Marvin gets $125.

The judge for the challenge is celebrity stylist, Monica Rose. Most of them get mixed reviews. Cory looks messed up in his purple V neck and too tight pants. Kelly does not like Marvin rolled his pants, then Chris who has not got his turn yet unrolls his pants. Phil buys woman's T-shirt and leggings. He looks messed. Don is kind of flirt with Monica and it works ! He wins the challenge. He also gets an additional prize to get ice cream and pick guy and girl to be with him. He picks Marvin and Renee.

Challenge Score :
1. Don 9
2. Nina 8
3. Chris 7
4. Jourdan 7
5. Renee 7
6. Marvin 6
7. Cory 5
8. Jiana 5
9. Phil 5

Jiana desperates once again for having lowest score in the challenge. She sinks slowly but sure. Marvin feels that is unfair that Chris gets 7, while he gets 6. There is verbal fight between both of them.

The models go to Lanark Art Gallery where Tyra exhibits "The Supermodel Tyra Untouched in Black & White". They will have a photoshoot with the same photographer who shoots Tyra, Udo. They are asked to create a living photos (with Flixel, absolutely) with paint splashed to them.

Jourdan, Don and Cory nail the photoshoot, while Chris struggles in the beginning. However, he is succeed to overcome the challenge. Marvin struggles with the splash of the paint. Renee poses elegantly and beautifully, but I am not in the same page with Johnny Wujek. Jiana looks shocked, death and awkward. She does not know her angle. Nina does great and Johnny likes it. Phil gets a clean cut before photoshoot, but he plays it too safe during the photoshoot.

They are back to the house. Chris directly goes to the girls' bathroom to shower. It irritates the girls and reminds Jourdan to her ex-husband. Marvin cries again ... and again. He is scared to lose people who care to him, in this case Don and Phil.

Judging Panel :
Marvin
K: 7, T:8, R:9
Was : 4
Now :4

Lazy eyes, lazy expression. It is not a good photo.
Don
K: 7, T:6, R:8
Was : 5
Now : 7

It is manly and it looks like a fashion shot, but it is around in the middle of the pack.
Jourdan
K: 10, T: 10, R: 10
Was : 9
Now : 10

She looks like as if she wears a dress. EXPENSIVE ! One of the best in the entire cycle. Tyra said it is in Top 20 best pictures in Top Model history.
Phil
K: 5, T: 7, R: 6
Was : 4
Now : 4

He is a comedian, not a model. Period.
Renee
K: 7, T: 10, R: 8
Was : 6
Mine : 6

It is a good photo, but I think it is super overrated to get a 10.
Jiana
K: 5, T: 7, R: 6
Was : 4
Now : 5

It is super weird and it is definitely a weak photo of Jiana. However, I found something quirky that might work a little bit.
Chris
K: 9, T: 7, R: 8
Was : 8
Now : 9

I would be happy if the Top 2 are Chris and Jourdan. Both of them deserve to be in the final !
Cory
K: 8, T: 9, R: 8
Was : 7
Now : 8

Cory is in action ! Cory is on fire !
Nina
K: 9, T: 8, R: 7
Was : 7
Now : 7

Not my favorite of Nina's. She can do so much better than this.







Call-Out :
1. Jourdan 44.5 (Fan Vote : 7.5)
2. Renee 37.9 (Fan Vote : 5.9)
3. Nina 37.9 (Fan Vote : 5.9)
4. Chris 36.8 (Fan Vote : 5.8)
5. Cory 35.3 (Fan Vote : 5.3)
6. Don 35.3 (Fan Vote : 5.3)
7. Marvin 34 (Fan Vote : 4)
8. Phil 27 (Fan Vote : 4)
9. Jiana 26.9 (Fan Vote : 3.9)

I was super excited to see this week's Flixel because I expect the splash gonna be WOW. Unfortunately, it is not as good as I expected. It is just another flixel. It is also super weird to see a huge decrease in social media score. Most of them got a minimum score of 7, now the highest score is only 7.5. Jourdan got 9 with nail photoshoot, but she only gets 7.5 for this stunning photo. It seems that we are going back to Cycle 19's score where 7 is a miracle. I also feel that the elimination is too "real" to be true, like Kanani-Phil and Jiana-Phil. Their score are separated only with 0.1 or 0.2. The judges seems to be balancing each other and make it as if it is depended on social media score which I doubt it too.

It is also surprising to see Jiana get 3.9. I know her photo this week is very weak, but it is a huge flop from the girl who used to be in the top of the pack. She even gained the first 9 in Top Model history. She is kind of losing her chance to comeback in my opinion. What do you think ? Leave your comment below. I changed my setting to hear your comment and have a little discussion here :)

Next Week : Runway (or go see ?) ! Jourdan is disappointed ! Phil vs Renee ! (UPDATE : Two models will comeback)


Who do you want to comeback ? Who do you think will comeback ? Tell me via comment below. I think Jiana and Jeremy have the higher chance to comeback. Alex also has a good chance, but Chlea, Kanani and Mike usually have a low social media score and it is nearly impossible for them to comeback. I also think there is possibility to have a double elimination in the next episode. So, the comeback of two models make more sense.

UPDATE : Open casting for America's Next Top Model Cycle 21 ! Another Guys Girls cycle. It is kind of less abnormal cycle since Tyra said that will no more normal cycle after Cycle 16. Let's wait and see ! For more info, click here.

Comeback Series :
Chlea
Was : 5
Now : 4

One B word : BORING !
Mike
Was : 6
Now : 6

It is second to best of his so far.
Alexandra
Was : 5

I know she is so much better than this !
Jeremy
Was : 4

He looks scared. He does not know how to show his great body.
Kanani
Was : 6
Now : 6

The paint makes her photo looks better.

    1. Hmm... You can say that. But for me, I haven't seen her photo that make me Wow. I fell the same way with Kiara. She went too far IMO. I agreed with most of the fan votes about Kiara, but I found her Dream Come True shot great. I didn't make any excuse for saying this, but I think everyone can have their own opinion. I am very opened for a short discussion and thanks for not making a "controversy" here. And also, thanks for coming.
