Ciao Bella!

Ciao Bella!

This week the girls were shipped off to Venice, Italy! The girls got there and did a photo shoot on a gondola. The idea was that they were put in groups of three, dressed in outfits from 1500 and 1600's Venice, or the time of Casanova. The girls were all trying to vie for Casanova's attention in the gondola. All of the girls did a pretty good job. At least one judge had one girl they liked, and they were all different. It started to rain towards the end of the photo shoot three of the girls were soaking wet when they were finished which was humorous.

After this photo shoot the girls were told that they were going to be shipped off to Milan. This is where the competition will end. Milan is the home base for Italian Vogue and IMG Models, both of which are part of the main prize, it makes sense for the girls to go there. The girls arrived in Milan and immediately rushed up to their house. ANTM always has a decked out house that the girls stay in. The girls usually stay in five-star quality houses/apartments. The apartment for these girls was more like a three-star. The girls were very disappointed. Tyra showed up and informed them that she chose this apartment because it is like what a working model really does live in. Since these girls are set to higher standards than the girls in the past, they get more of a reality check. That is essentially what this apartment was for a few of the girls.

After checking out their apartment they went to world famous Italian fashion house, Missoni. Milan is where Missoni is based. They were able to meet with Margherita Missoni, whose mother, Angela Missoni, owns part of the line and is the main designer. Margherita is the designer for accessories, the future head of Missoni, as well as a model for IMG. The girls got to wear designers for the fall fashion line and walk in front of Angela and Margherita Missoni. They were then informed that Margherita would be the guest judge that week.

The girls got to wear the Missoni clothes for panel. Now when this was filmed it was summer, the girls were wearing fall fashion. Chelsey and Liz almost passed out because they were so hot. The heat in the room was apparently really bad. All the girls got a least one good review by one of the judges. Elimination came down to Liz and Chris. Liz was sent home because she complained too much.

I was so happy to see Liz go home. She was so annoying. She complained all the time about every little thing and I can't imagine having to live with that. I really like Liz's look and pictures, but her personality is what turned me off to her. My favorite to win is Chelsey. I really think that she has the maturity and the fashion knowledge to do this job well.

Zac Posen

It was a runway show show-off. This week started with the girls going to do a runway show for world-famous designer Zac Posen. However, there were other models there, professionals, who were "Zac's Models". These models were told to do everything they could to undermine the girls confidence before the runway show. This was a challenge and many of the girls handled it poorly. They let the other models get under their skin and undermine their confidence. Ann was especially effected. She almost had a complete breakdown before the show started. In the end, Chelsey won the runway challenge and received 5 looks from Zac Posen's new line, Z Spoke.

There was no photo this week instead the girls had to do a commercial for a imaginary energy drink. The challenge of this was not only to memorize a script, but the girls were also on roller blades. The commercial was filmed right outside their house in Venice Beach, which is famous for roller blading. Nigel was the director for the girls this week.

This was a disaster all around. The girls were falling all over, no one had their lines memorized, and Ann started crying. Nigel had to have a stern talk with Liz who was laughing throughout the entire thing and did not appear to be taking it all that seriously.

Chris got best commercial and the elimination came down to Esther and Ann. The judges ended up keeping Ann, which means that Ester was eliminated.

This episode seemed a little tedious. There was nothing in it that I really liked. I am starting to want Chelsey to win though, so she is my new favorite to win. Zac Posen does not seem like that nice of a person. I really did not like him in this episode. I am hoping that things will start picking up because I am currently bored with this cycle.
