ANTM Rankings

A tumblr page for my personal rankings of the photos on America's Next Top Model!

If you were to cast an All Stars Part 2; with girls from cycles 18-24, who would you pick? Let’s assume you have to follow the OG All Stars cast rules (no winners, and no more than 2 girls from the same cycle). Let’s also assume this is a dream scenario where everyone says yes- even ppl who are way too busy/ successful like Leila or ppl who’ve come to hate ANTM like Chantelle.

This has been answered before but it’s been a while haha

What are some of your most serious ranking disagreements with the judging panel? Like; what are some photos/ videos that you thought were elimination worthy that the panel thought were top tier; and vice versa? And/ or which girls were cut early who you thought should have been kept till the end; and vice versa? And while we’re on the subject; which judging panel do you think had the most overall flawed opinions with regard to these kinds of decisions; and which judging panel the best?

There are honestly too many answers to your questions to list here haha. The model ranking/contestant commentary sections for each cycle include my call-out order charts as a reference with the eliminated contestant(s) marked, which reflect my opinion on if the performance was fully elim worthy or not. Those sections also have commentary on each contestant and I often discuss the model’s placement in the competition. Thank you for reading! :)

What about FCOs for cycle 15?

I don’t think any have changed!

[antmrankingskd]

Have your FCOs for cycle 16 changed at all?

A few have!

Backstage: I wanna give a 3-way tie to Alex/Brittani/Molly, but I would probably pick Brittani for being the most on-theme

Bees: Monique

Groups: still Jaclyn w/ Dalya as a close second

Commercial: still Kasia

Fur: still Hannah

Blondes v. brunettes: Honestly might give it to Mikaela now! It’s between her, Molly, and Brittani

Crazy: still Jaclyn, Molly nearly ties it

Landfill: still Brittani

Camels: still Molly

Market: Alexandria actually!

Beach: still Molly

CoverGirl: still Molly

I don't know if they did this the full duration of the series, but I remember that at least in the early cycles, the winners would take a paired winner shot with Tyra. Which winner do you think did best/what is your favorite shot?

To my knowledge there’s a Tyra+the winner photo from every cycle except 1, 15, 23, and 24. I’ll be honest, I don’t love any of the shots all too much, they’re either too photoshopped or Tyra is doing way too much. That being said, some of my favorites are below. Even though Tyra is clearly photoshopped into McKey’s shot (from Jaslene’s shoot lmao) I can’t get over how amazing McKey looks. The other shots work well for both Tyra and the winner.

[antmrankingskd]

What’s your favorite ANTM photo that was outside of the main photoshoot? (Ex. Jaslene/Dionne’s Bridge Shoot, Anya’s Nude in Bed Shoot, Brittani, Molly, and Hannah’s shoot with Tyra, etc.)

Anya’s 7-Up ad has always been one of my favorites! Jaslene and Dionne’s bridge photos are incredible too

[antmrankingskd]

Which ANTM cycles hadd the most likable and most hateable casts?

Most likable:

Cycle 4: I generally liked everyone looking back, the top 10 were all pretty great other than a couple incidents from some individuals

Cycle 6: no explanation needed really

Cycle 8: some all-time great personalities/characters here

Cycle 13: other than a few exceptions (primarily just Kara/Ashley/Lulu) it was a pretty pleasant group

Special shout-out to the top 5 of the British half of C18, I adored all of them

Most hateable:

Cycle 14: I hesitated to put this one since there are several contestants I love (Krista/Angelea/Alasia/even Jessica in the first half) but most of the others were either insufferable or denied any meaningful screentime.

Cycle 19: personality-wise I didn’t particularly like anyone besides Nastasia (who was basically invisible). My feelings ranged from indifference to varying levels of dislike.

All of the Boys/Girls cycles (20-22): there were a few exceptions in each cast that I enjoyed, but the vast majority were annoying as fuck. Cycle 20 especially.

ANTM

Megan C7

Felicia and Samantha C8

Maggie C24

Chantelle C21 and Tash C23’s first exits were pretty surprising and a bit undeserved, but at least they came back

Neo C7 (I know she went downhill, but still!)

April C8

Phoebe C9

AsNTM

Trang C1 (unsurprising based on how she was treated though)

Franchesca C3

Other

Abby BNTM 11

Eva NZNTM 2 (kinda pushing into mid-cycle boot though)

Hey!

Name an Asntm photoshoot that will always be legandary in you’re book and another that lacked in pretty much all aspects.

Cycle 4’s Harper Bazaar cover shoot was iconic! I loved all of the styling and all 4 contestants were outstanding and delivered some of their personal best shots.

Cycle 1’s Environmental Campaign for WWF was a disaster on all fronts; nearly all of the contestants flopped, the styling was abysmal, and the photography and editing were strange and cheap looking.

[antmrankingskd]

I just made it through cycle 10 of AusNTM in your rankings, and holy shit, Aleyna's fishing photo is so stunning. Might be one of my all time favorites if not THE all time favorite from all NTM franchises (that I have seen photos from).

Right? It’s definitely one of my all-time favorites too, everything about it is perfect. Literally took my breath away the first time I saw it!

[antmrankingskd]

Not sure if you watched it, but if you did, what is your elimination order for NZNTM C1?

I have not watched it but I’ve reviewed the photos before. I’m not a fan of specific elimination orders though since it’s too much guesswork regarding exact times when contestants should/would go home (which is why I just do general power rankings/commentary here).

Laura was far and away my winner portfolio-wise. Rebecca Rose and Ajoh were my other faves who went home way too soon. I didn’t mind Christobelle as a winner too much, she just didn’t really excite me.

[antmrankingskd]

do you know other ntm blogs that rank supermodelme content?

I haven’t seen any on tumblr. I know there are discussions about it on realitybitesgames

[antmrankingskd]

Which models did you despise the most?

On the show it’s Whitney C10, Clark, Brenda, Mikey, Chris H, and Denzel

It’s that time again - who are you rooting for to win Survivor 43?? I’m so torn because my head says one thing (and we share a birthday so I have to root for him), but my heart says root for a third girl winner, so it’s tough. But I looooove 4/5 of the final five which I didn’t expect going into this season given how many girls went home early so I’m happy with this season now since I know the one person I don’t like is likely the zero vote getter if he’s in the finale ❤️❤️ (trying to leave this as vague as possible but don’t answer if you haven’t seen the episode yet it was crazyyy)

Survivor spoilers below!

I genuinely like everyone in the final 5! Overall I’m rooting for Jesse the most; his game has been mostly flawless and he’s really likable too (though not the most exciting TV personality). Karla was my overall favorite but she’s been on a downward spiral recently so I think she’s out of the running. I would love a Cassidy win (and she seems like the mostly likely option besides Jesse) but based on the edit she’s playing more of a survival game and not driving any of the moves. I think she wins easily if Jesse goes out in the final 4 though. Owen has no shot imo but I really enjoy him as a person anyway lol. Gabler is my least favorite of the 5 but I still appreciate what he brings to the season. I’ve been liking the season a lot, the pre-merge was really mediocre imo but the post merge (especially the last 3 episodes) has been killer.

Interesting to know what's your opinion about these Dani's (semifinalist of C6) posts? I think it's really cool she understood how wrong her views were. I'm quite excited to watch her interview with Oliver.

Good on her for trying to grow and learn and apologize for her past words/actions and not doubling down on her bigotry. That being said, I don’t really have any interest in her Twixt interview, though I hope it goes well for her.
