7. CariDee and Amanda’s Water Nymphs Shot

Melrose definitely had the strongest individual performance in this shoot, but CariDee and Amanda’s combined effort blew the other shot out of the water. They’re both floating elegantly and I love the yin and yang balance between CariDee’s blonde hair and light dress and Amanda’s dark hair and black dress. Both of their faces are so serene and it seems like they have a great connection with each other. The funny thing is that I wouldn’t put either girl in this list or even in my honorable mentions as individuals; this is a picture where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Michelle and Amanda Babin, ANTM Cycle 7

6. Amanda

My call-out average: 4.3

Panel call-out average: 4.5

We didn’t get a full sense of who Amanda was outside of her identity as one of the twins, but I still thought she seemed like a super sweet person. I loved how supportive she was of her sister coming out of the closet. I also really like the dynamic that she had with Michelle and you could tell that they wanted the best for each other. Amanda also had such a funny moment when she stood up to Monique and ran through the house screaming “There’s food here!” That really made me like her even more after the recap episode. When it came to modeling, I actually agree with the judges that Amanda wasn’t as strong (at least in photos) as her sister. She was super strong in the first 3 weeks, bombed the circus shoot and just coasted in the middle from there. Her last two photos were strong, but by that point she was still being outperformed. I don’t find many of her photos to be that memorable either. She was super high fashion, but I didn’t think she had much commercial potential, which is probably a major reason why she was eliminated before the finale (since CoverGirl and Seventeen skew more towards commercial). Amanda also wasn’t as natural on set as I would’ve liked; she second-guessed herself a lot and it showed several times. She had a decent walk and a fashionable, editorial look so I understand how she made it to the final 4.

3. Amanda

I’m not blown away by this shot of Amanda, but it’s still pretty strong. I love her body position and her delicate hand. The contrast between her hair, the dress, and her skin is just gorgeous. I think her expression could be a bit better, but she’s still connecting well and hiding that she’s cold. I wasn’t that upset with Amanda being cut this week. I don’t think her look suited the prizes as well as the other girls. She started strong but went downhill in the middle of the competition. While her final two shots were good, she was still being outperformed by other girls. I may have cut Eugena before her, but I think Amanda would’ve been the next elimination anyway.

4. Amanda

Amanda’s shot is so high fashion. Her face is totally amazing and I love the dramatic way she’s partially hiding her face without completely obstructing herself. That move lets the light and shadow contrast on her face beautifully. She looks super tall and I think that she’s selling the clothes well. Her legs look a little too stiff, but other than that I can’t find any significant faults in Amanda’s picture.
