America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion – J. Alexander (Ep4)

Are the producers seriously going to make them wear those stupid flag shirts to panel every week?! Please, make it stop, we know where they’re from now.

No, Kyle, don’t leave! All of the other girls are just intimidated by you! Hopefully Kyle will develop a thicker skin by next week because if you’ve been keeping score, she’s the model I’m placing most of my bets on.

The Brits keep fluctuating! I gave up on Annaliese last week, and this week she performs well? I’m about to put the rest of my money on Laura and forget the Brits completely.

Laura, rocking the photo shoot.

America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion – Cat Deeley (Ep 3)

Real cool Louise, way to have a meltdown and make British people look crazy. Although she is true to The Only Way is Essex stereotyping of Essex natives, isn’t she? Personally, I think we’re all kind of glad it happened, right? None of us really liked her and it was good television!

 

On that note, for all having been finalists on Britain’s Top Model, the British girls are falling kind of flat aren’t they? I’m not impressed.

I’m continuing to back Kyle as a frontrunner. However, I am no longer Team Annaliese. My favorite Brit is now magenta-haired Catherine.

Catherine's photo this week. Doesn't properly display her awesome hair. But, still a great shot!

America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion – Kris Jenner (Ep2)

Photos turned out much better than the premiere. Probably because this week there wasn’t any jumping on mini-trampolines. But I’m not a model, so what do I know?

Was there a point to the cultural food competition? Or were they just trying to cause a fight? At least now we can be sure some of these girls are eating something.

I think I’ll stick to my guns as far as my early favorites go, but if she does well again next week the indecipherably Scottish Ashley might replace Annaliese in my heart.

Ashley!

I like the “edgy” makeover theme. Favorite makeovers:

Catherine's "Red Velvet" locks. If I were to ever thoughtlessly dye my hair, it would absolutely be that color. Laura's platinum blonde with red and blue streaks took second.

America’s Next Top Model: British Invasion – Kelly Osbourne (Ep1)

This season of ANTM is going to be awesome. Why?

• Kelly Cutrone is judging. I am so prepared for sassy reality checks. I don’t doubt she’ll deliver.

• British accents. Like real quality North London cockney ones. And a Scottish one, that they have to caption at all times. Endless entertainment.

• Two plus size models! And one won best photo this week! Yay for changing body image ideals! Okay, soap-boxing over. 

Personally, I think they were setting them up for failure this week. I don’t think anyone can be graceful on mini trampolines.

My early frontrunners:

Kyle, one of the Americans, you can't tell from this photo, but I think she looks scarily like Katy Perry.

 

Annaliese, one of the Brits, more because of her entertainment than her modeling. She's loud and sassy and her hair is fabulous.
