America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) (S13E01)

By Heather Grenier on September 10th, 2009

ANTM_13_CastTyra is back and so is the search for America’s Next Top Model (ANTM). Cycle 13 begins with 32 girls vying for the 14 final spots in the competition. The catch? Only girls 5’7″ and under have been accepted. This is unheard of in the fashion industry where 5’7″ is considered short.

The first hour is dedicated to getting rid of more than half the girls. Of course there are some standouts, but I refuse to try and learn their names at this point. This of course is with the exception of Amber, the self-proclaimed “Jesus Freak.” The girls are brought in to meet Miss Jay and Mr. Jay along with Tyra and have their first panel to introduce themselves. It is surprising how many of these young women have serious sob stories.

The girls must walk the runway and pose to have their pictures taken. This is where The Jay’s and Tyra choose their final 14 girls.

The 14 girls are named and I still refuse to get attached to anyone yet. I can maybe name a handful of them by sight. They arrive on Melrose in LA and surprisingly, “Jesus Freak” Amber, who was among the picked is not there.

Apparently Jesus had a different path for her.

Another difference in this season of America’s Next Top Model is that as soon as the girls arrive, they are given makeovers. Surprisingly, only one girl cries and that is because they bleached her eyebrows! Come on! The makeover show is usually the best because of all the tears! Big disappointment.

The first challenge begins with the girls doing editorial photographs that bring them back to when they were just babies. Yes, they have taken baby photos of the girls and are transforming their 18 year old outfits into modern day masterpieces.

So, who gets the big boot? My personal opinion? Sundai! Sundai! Sundai! And yes I remember her name because it is spelled funny. But am I right? Nope. The big boot goes to Lisa! Who? Exactly.
