[Recap] America's Next Top Model 2.0 Guys Girls (2013) Episode 3 & 4 & 5 & 6


Since it is super late to do recap(s) for episode 3, 4 and 5, I decided to ONLY judge their photos and tell my previous score when I voted and my recent score after seeing the close up version. So, the recap will be only the recap of episode 6 and it is going to be in the (quite) bottom of the posts. Enjoy !

Episode 3
Photoshoot
Mike & Alexandra (Shotgun Wedding)

Mike
Was : 6
Now : 4
After seeing the close up, it is a MESS.

Alexandra
Was : 8
Now : 8
One word : FIERCE ! She outshines Mike.
Cory & Chlea (Biker Wedding)

Cory
Was : 6
Now : 5
It was good, actually. However, he looks even softer than Chlea.

Chlea
Was : 6
Now : 7
Kelly is so rude ! It did not deserve to get 4 just because Kelly felt offended.
Chris S & Renee (Hip-hop Wedding)

Chris S
Was : 4
Now : 4
He did not look manly enough, even Cory looks manlier than him. He just posed and it did not work !

Renee
Was : 4
Now : 4
Kanani is the star of this photo ! Period.
Jeremy & Jourdan (Nudist Wedding)

Jeremy
Was : 7
Now : 7
He is just a good looking man who had a test shot on his wedding day. He is handsome, but he did not look like model enough here.

Jourdan
Was : 7
Now : 7
She is super pretty, but she should have been explored more with her body, props and even Jeremy.
Chris H & Don (Gay Wedding)

Chris H
Was : 8
Now : 9
He was really into the character. Picture of the week !

Don
Was : 5
Now : 7
It was better when it was in close up. He looked confident and comfortable.
Kanani & Jiana (Lesbian Wedding)

Kanani
Was : 8
Now : 6
Duck face ! I wondered why I voted that high.

Jiana
Was : 7
Now : 8
Jiana looked masculine and it fitted the brief !
Nina & Marvin & Bianca (Group Wedding)

Nina
Was : 7
Now : 7

Marvin
Was : 6
Now : 7

Bianca
Was : 7
Now : 5

It is distracting to see other three unimportant girls. Marvin stood out because he was the only man here.
 Phil

Was : 4
Now : 2
I thought he was the host of the wedding.
















Episode 4
Photoshoot
Phil & Jeremy

Phil
Was : 5
Now : 5
He looked like a pet dog, not a model.

Jeremy
Was : 7
Now : 7
He looked strong here. He stood out. I did not know why he was called later than Phil.
Chlea & Marvin

Chlea
Was : 4
Now : 4
Yeah ! I got it right from the first try !

Marvin
Was : 8
Now : 7
I think that he was doing it too much. I knew he was full of hormone, but he should have controlled it.
Don & Alexandra

Don
Was : 5
Now : 5
Same as Chlea's comment.

Alexandra
Was : 8
Now : 8
Fierce !
Nina & Cory

Nina
Was : 8
Now : 7
The close up showed that her face was not as strong as the zoom out version.

Cory
Was : 5
Now : 5
He looked surprise. No chemistry at all !
Kanani & Mike

Kanani
Was : 6
Now : 6

Mike
Was : 8
Now : 9

Mike rules this shot ! It was even better in close up. Picture of the week !
Jiana & Chris H

Jiana
Was : 7
Now : 9
Stunning !

Chris H
Was : 7
Now : 7
Not a huge fan, but I do not understand why Chris H only gets a high social media score in this photo. He is very consistent, compared to the other contestants.
Renee & Jourdan

Renee
Was : 5
Now : 5
Awkward face and body position.

Jourdan
Was : 5
Now : 6
I am not huge fan of this photo, but her awkward hand kind of works for me a little bit.



Makeover
Mike
Score : 5

There is no significant makeover, but his previous hair fits with him.
Renee
Score : 8

One of the best makeover in this season. I actually agreed with most of the makeovers here.
Jiana
Score : 7

I like it, but I had different version. I would chop her hair shorter like Yoanna (and Renee Cycle 8)'s makeover, longer hair than Kanani
Marvin
Score : 7

Like Mike, no significant changes, but his previous haircut suits him.
Kanani
Score : 6

I would like to see Naomi Campbell's haircut on her !
Jourdan
Score : 10

We are on the same page, Tyra, Kelly and Johnny !
Don
Score :7

I do not have any idea on Don, but it is quite good and drastic change for him.
Chris H
Score : 10

HIGH FASHION !
Chlea
Score : 10

FIERCE ! Too bad she was eliminated before she can explore more with her new hair.
Cory
Score : 5

Alien ! I would like to give him 50s vintage hair.
Jeremy
Score : 8

He looks better and more modelesque in this haircut.
Nina
Score : 8

In order to make her different with the most memorable contestant in ANTM history, Allison, she should get her hair dyed and red is the best option.
Phil
Score : 3

The worst makeover in this season. Jesus inspired haircut does not make him looks high fashion, at all.
 Alexandra
Score : 10

My favorite makeover in this season !

















Episode 5
Photoshoot
Chris H & Jourdan

Chris H
Was : 8
Now : 10-1 (for letting Jourdan takes the light) = 9

Jourdan
Was : 8
Now : 10

The best group shot so far ! Both of them shines, but the light is on Jourdan. Perfect 10 for the group shot.
Renee & Cory

Renee
Was : 5
Now : 4

Cory
Was : 6
Now : 7

Renee, Y U NO GO HOME ? Cory looks manly, I mean straight in this photo.
Marvin & Jiana

Marvin
Was : 4
Now : 6

Jiana
Was : 8
Now : 9

Marvin gives no expression and good leg, but his body looks good. Jiana is amazing ! Kill it.
Nina & Phil

Nina
Was : 6
Now : 8

Phil
Was : 4
Now : 4

Nina is amazing in close up. I still do not like any of Phil photo, he is overrated.
Kanani & Jeremy & Don

Kanani
Was : 9
Now : 8

Jeremy
Was : 7
Now : 7

Don
Was : 6
Now : 6

I just realized that Kanani is not that good as I used to think in this photo.
Mike & Alexandra

Mike
Was : 4
Now : 3

Alexandra
Was : 8
Now : 8

I will crop Mike from the photo. It is one of the worst picture in the season. Thank God social media saved Jeremy.



Comeback Series :
Chlea
Was : 4
Now : 5

I think I voted that low because I did not like Chlea, but it is slightly better in second seeing.










A few notes from episode 3 & 4 & 5 :
1. ANTM's rating increased ! Thanks to the male model who attracts more men to watch it. ANTM will NOT end in Cycle 20. I think it will be better and the rating will be higher if this season is only for male model. I think it is one of their option for Cycle 21, but there are rumors telling Cycle 21 might be the last cycle of Top Model and it will feature all winner because it is All-Star Winner Cycle. However, it is still rumor.
2. Flixel is not a good idea. I do not see the importance of the flixel. It might look funny, but this is top model. It should be HIGH FASHION. The flixel looks like GIF meme in 9gag. A big no no.
3. Romance everywhere. From Jeremy-Jourdan, Nina-Chris H, Mike-Bianca, and Phil-Jiana. It looks like Big Brother than Top Model. We see romance everyweek, or what they called as (more than) friendship. Get a room to all of you please or please edit it as a modelling competition.
4. Jourdan is overexposing her past sad stories. I am not Jourdan's hater, but it is kind of tiring to hear her unsuccessful marriage in the past. She even admitted that she did not finish her high school. No wonder, no offense.
5. I have enough with the group shot ! The first four photoshoot involves group shot. It is guys girls cycle, but it does not have to be group shot all over the cycle or most of the photoshoot in this cycle.
6. Super high social media score. It is weird because it is very rare to fans' favorite to get 7 in previous cycle, including the early favorite, Kristin and Leila and Laura. We see most of the score are more than 6. The average is 7ish. Jiana even got 9 ! We see 8 mostly from Jourdan or Nina. It is super weird.
7. The judges are not consistent. They praised contestants, but sometimes they do not get the score as great as the praise and vice versa. They also critique contestants, but most of the time, the contestants still get 7 or 8. It seems to be planned before.

Episode 6
Jourdan is very proud with her winning photo, but no one seems to care. She easily lost friends in the house, but Nina who seems to be friend of everyone in the house is invited to Tyra Suite with her. Jourdan uses her power to rule the house. She manages phone call and she does not use it wisely. She uses so much more, almost three times than the time she gives to the other contestants. It easily gets confrontation from others, especially Renee. Renee seems to be the biggest competitor for Jourdan from the beginning, but I do not think Renee is strong enough compare to Jourdan. However, Jourdan still gets her back from Jeremy.

They meet with Bryanboy and Perez Hilton in Hollywood for their challenge. The challenge is to be fashion correspondent in the street and be the slave of both of them do whatever Bryanboy and Perez ask. Jeremy feels comfortable when they ask him to be shirtless and put down his pant, while Marvin does not do what Perez ask and even how Perez acts. Jiana and Marvin are mentioned by Perez as the disappointing people. Jeremy wins because he satisfies what they want : Jeremy's body. Jeremy gets to pick one girl to have dinner with him. Everyone knows the answer : Jourdan !

Challenge Point :
1. Jeremy 10
2. Cory 9
3. Chris 9
4. Phil 9
5. Don 8
6. Jourdan 8
7. Kanani 8
8. Alex 7
9. Nina 7
10. Renee
11. Jiana 6
12. Marvin 6

It is time for photoshoot commercial. They have to act in sexy fragrance commercial "Questionable", but the twist is role reversal ! They will be paired up, once again with the partner they handpick and kiss passionately in the end of the commercial. Jourdan picks Jeremy (obviously, especially after the dinner invitation), Phil picks Jiana (another obvious choice), Nina picks Chris H (another obvious choice), Don picks Kanani, Marvin picks Renee and Cory picks gets Alexandra.

Cory and Alexandra are business couple. Cory is a drag queen and he knows how to do it. He rules ! On the other hand, Alexandra is not comfortable with the role.
Marvin and Renee are surfer couple. They even tried to kiss to practice. Marvin shocks Renee with extreme kiss in the end and Renee likes it.
Phil and Jiana are preppy couple. Phil looks like a bearded barbie, while Jiana does not stand out as usual.
Chris and Nina are Hollywood couple. Nina does not look like a guy enough, while Chris is really into the character. Cory even admits that Chris H can be his drag sister.
Don and Kanani are cheerleader couple. Both of them are really into the character.
Jeremy and Jourdan are goth couple. Jourdan has not ever met gothic person and she has a hard time to get into the character.

Phil and Jiana show more-than-just-friend relationship in this episode. Jiana is even irritated when Phil shares his girlfriend story. However, Phil seems to be interested in Jiana. He tells that Jiana is the combination of three of his exes.

I decided NOT to score this commercial because I do not like it and I do not know how to score it. And, my previous score was voted based on the screen shot, not the commercial. So, it is not a valid score. They are asked to do over the top commercial. The judges laughed a lot, including Kelly who self proclaim a goth person and hardly ever smile. She even gives her first 10 in this season to Kanani. I DID NOT LAUGH AT ALL. There is nothing funny about this commercial and I think this is one of the worst theme ANTM ever made. If they want to do role reversal, they can repeat role reversal shot in Cycle 8. It is better and more high fashion than this.

Next Week : Nina upsets and cries for Chris H ! Nail art photoshoot !
