Eliminated Girls in Future Shoots...What Would Happen? America's Cycle 1 Edition

Okay so along with my GIF per week, I thought it would be really cool if I went back somehow to each cycle I've done and talk about how I think the girls would have done in the shoots after they were eliminated.  Does it sound cool? Hopefully it will!  Okay, I'll start first with America's Cycle 1 since it's the original cycle of Top Model.

TESSA
Eliminated Photo:
I'll start with Stuff Magazine.

So it would have ended up like this but a bit worse since ANTM for some reason wanted to choose the worse shot in every girl's film for the show and their better one for the magazine.  Still, I think this shot has a lot of flaws such as her looking like a mom and looking bland.

And now the Edgy Beauty Shots with Snakes
I personally think that she might have done good here.  From what I've seen in her post-show, her best work (which is not a lot and nothing truly amazing) is beauty shots so I think that she may do good here.  Nothing truly fantastic but I think stronger than at least Nicole.

For the contact lens commercial, I think that Tessa would have been very weak here.  Her personality is very quiet and I could definitely see her just completely mess up here.

For Reebok, I think she ironically enough would have done great.  This is a very commercial photo shoot in a way and I think that Tessa's market is probably commercial.  I could definitely see her pulling some poses and giving a good photo.

The lingerie in Paris....yeah this would have been horrible.  From the JLO and Stuff shoot, she looked awkward and hooch and I don't think that she would be able to give a sexy photo and show the lingerie well.

The Diamond shoot would have been probably the same thing.  I would have seen at best a mediocre shot.

The black and white however, I think she would have taken a pretty photo.  Like I said in the snake shoot, Tessa seems to do semi-well with beauty shoots and a natural shoot? I think she would have done good.

So overall, Tessa was bland and may have taken two extra good shots but wouldn't have been anything fantastic.

KATIE
Eliminated Photo:

I'll start with the snake shoot.  I don't think that Katie would have done well here.  This is just not Katie's type of shoot and I really don't think she'd do that well.  However she did surprise me with this shot in her post-show work
So maybe she could surprise here but IDTS.

The commercial I think Katie would have done good.  I mean I think her career now is practically in television so I think she would have done really great and maybe be best of the week.

With Reebok, I think she would have just owned almost everyone.  I would be very disappointed if she didn't create at least a great photo this week.

With the Lingerie in Paris I think she would have been sexy but I think it would have gone like Adrianne's were it was a bit TOO sexy.

The diamond shoot though I think she would have done good.  Maybe it would have come out cheap but I don't think that would have been the case for Katie at all.

And last but not least, the B&W shoot! She would have been sensational.  I honestly can't see how she couldn't have given a horrible shot this week.

So overall, Katie was robbed and really could have worked it in some of the upcoming shoots.

NICOLE
Eliminated Photo:

The commercial would have been bad.  Nicole simply did not want to be there and I think that she would have been bland and probably awkward.

With Reebok I would probably expect a cougar-like shot.  I really can't see Nicole giving a great shot like she did in the JLO shoot.

The Lingerie Shoot in Paris would practically be the same as Reebok.

The Diamond Shoot would have been so cheap.  I don't think that Nicole would be able to give an expensive photo in this shoot.

The B&W would have either been bland or horrible.  Nicole's best asset is her body...her face is very bland and sometimes looks aged.

Overall, Nicole left at the right time.  I can't see her giving any truly good shots after she was eliminated.

EBONY
ELIMINATED AT COMMERCIAL

At Reebok, Ebony would probably excel and give her best photo to date.  I expect something like this
but with movement and I think it would work.

Lingerie at Paris would have been dreadful.  Ebony is an androgynous model.  Her in swimwear didn't work that well.  With a male model? It would probably be ten times worse.

In the diamond shoot, I'm a bit half torn.  I think that Ebony could have created a very different picture from both Adrianne and Elyse but I'm worried that it may turn out ugly.

The B&W shoot she would probably do good since she has taken some great beauty shots.

Overall I think Ebony would have done better in some of the upcoming shoots but I could also see her doing horrible in the rest.  I wouldn't have taken her farther than the commercial shoot.

GISELLE
Eliminated Photo:

Lingerie in Paris would have probably been a really good shoot for Giselle.  She's good at being sexy and I think she would have worked well with the male model.

The Diamond shoot would probably have been another home run for Giselle.  I think that she could have looked regal and sexy at the same time.

B&W would have been lovely as well for sure.  I highly doubt it would have been weak.

Overall, Giselle was robbed.  I really see her doing well in all of the upcoming shoots and she was definitely one of the best girls there.

KESSE
Eliminated Photo:

Diamond shoot would probably be bland.  I mean all of Kesse's shoots minus JLO were bland so I wouldn't expect anything else but bland here.

B&W I think she may have done good.  Kesse's a very pretty girl and I think she would have taken a very beautiful photo.

Overall, I thought Kesse was bland.  So yeah she took one great shot and probably would have had a lovely B&W.  The rest of her portfolio was boring so she would leave at Reebok for me.

ROBIN
Eliminated Photo:
Okay so technically Robin was eliminated after all of the shoots were done but she didn't do the nude shoot and I'm sure it would have looked bland and cougar-like.

SHANNON
Runner Up
I think that Shannon could have produced a good photo but she has yet to be able to take one sexy photo and this is a nude shoot.  I think she would have just been plain awkward.

America's Cycle 1 Makeovers

So since I forgot to do makeovers (upgrade or downgrade), I'm going to go back and try to do all of the ANTM cycles, New Zealand's Cycle 1 and 2, Australia's Cycle 1-6, etc. Since Cycle 1 didn't have any makeover shots, I'm just going to give the video really quick along with the preshow photos.


Adrianne: Adrianne looks AMAZING here. I wish they made the bangs lower though but still major upgrade.

Shannon: Ten times better than before for sure. Shannon looks like a diva here which is of course love.

Elyse: Major upgrade. Before Elyse's hair was nice but pixie hair is really the way to go for Elyse. She looks amazing with that hair. The only thing is that I really hope that Elyse will never style it like Kate Gosselin's hair and more like in her snake hair.

Robin: I actually think this is a downgrade. I thought that Robin looked gorgeous before in her preshow photo

Kesse: Much better than before although I think I prefer her short hair.

Giselle: Hmm to be honest I do prefer the new hairr compared to before but I feel like her makeover could have been better. I would have loved if she got a more dark color and trim her hair.

Ebony: Upgrade. I'm glad that they cut off the rest of Ebony's hair but she did look gorgeous before.

Nicole: Grr I wish she would have just let them cut off whatever they liked from her hair. It's nice I guess but it really doesn't make Nicole stand out more but straight hair looks much better on her.

America's Cycle 1 Post Show

So since Cycle 1 was very short and a long time ago, I've decided to have a look back and choose my favorite shot of each girl after the show and give my comments about that shot. We'll go from first eliminee to winner. :)

10.-TESSA
Tessa didn't do much after the show modeling-wise besides a couple of test shots. This is beautiful however it's a bit My Space although her profile is very strong here.

9.-KATIE
Katie worked it out post-show...but she went down the celebrity lane although that's not a bad thing whatsoever. This shot however is perfection and I would have never expected it from Katie.

8.-NICOLE
Such an awesome shot of Nicole and very diva-like. I was in shock when I saw this; may not be something for Gucci but it's still a fabulous shot.

7.-EBONY
Ebony's post-show shots are very lackluster. This shot is truly beautiful but it isn't something jaw-dropping. Still, it is stunning.

6.-GISELLE
Very underwhelmed by Giselle. This is a gorgeous shot and Giselle looks stunning but it looks very actress-like.

5.-KESSE
Kesse is a gorgeous girl and it can be seen here. Her eyes look amazing here and she really looks like a baby Tyra. She didn't work it post-show though.

4.-ROBIN
Robin I think went back to pageants since she literally has only smiling, pageant-like shots. This is beautiful but very actress-like.

3.-ELYSE
Elyse WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKED it post-show which is kind of funny since she kept saying that she hated modeling and will go be a doctor. Still, she has so many perfect amazing shots with this being one of them. Definitely my favorite ANTM girl post-show. Work it out Elyse!

2.-SHANNON
So Shannon went into commercial modeling which is good since she is very commercial. This shot however is lovely. I love her profile here and this really looks like art.

1.-ADRIANNE
So Adrianne went into mens magazine and got Tyra very pissed since she wrote an email to her and blah blah blah. Basically they're not friends anymore and refers Elyse as the winner (a big lol I guess). This is perfection though; Adrianne looks so gorgeous here and sells the diamond well.

B&W Beauty Shots/The Finale

Amazing shoot. Sadly it wasn't judged in the judging room but it was still fabulous.

1.-ADRIANNE
Amazing shot of Adrianne. Love her profile here and her jawline looks sick. Her beauty here shines through and it's just a lovely shot.

2.-SHANNON
Whenever I look at this shot, I always think of a swan for some reason. This is a really lovely shot though. I love how delicate Shannon looks here and her eyes look amazing.

3.-ELYSE
This is a really gorgeous shot and it definitely highlights Elyse's amazing eyes/cheekbones/jawline but the problem is that it's taken in such a strange angle that you can't really see Elyse's full face. Still, Elyse looks fab.

4.-ROBIN
Robin's best picture by far. Love how soft she looks here and how she is looking up as if there's something amazing going up in the sky. Nothing really wrong with the shot; I just prefer the 3 above her.

Then Elyse got eliminated and then Adrianne won.

And my final elimination order!
10. Robin (Robin had a huge disadvantage because of her age/body and she didn't work it at all this week so I'm going to have to give her the boot)
9. Nicole (With Robin gone and Tessa taking a semi-good picture, this leaves Nicole to go here.)
8. Tessa (Tessa is a very pretty girl...but I don't think she could have taken a strong photo.)
7. Ebony (Forgot her contact lense commercial but Ebony was easily the weakest of the 7 left so I'll leave her here)
6. Kesse (Kesse has taken only one amazing photo in this competition while the other have already taken several. Her shot was easily of the six remaining and her portfolio can't save her)
5. Katie (Katie was definitely severely robbed and she is a very pretty girl but I don't think she would have had a shot that wasn't XXX.)
4. Shannon (I'm not sure if Shannon would have done the shoot or not with Robin not being there but TBH I don't think it would have been as strong as ElysexAdrianne and Giselle was a bit stronger than Shannon portfolio-wise)
3. Giselle (Gorgeous gorgeous girl and would definitely be amazing in the fashion show but honestly Elyse and Adrianne were amazing and much better than Giselle overall.)
2. Elyse (Love Elyse so much and she's definitely my favorite girl of the cycle but Elyse had her Harper's Bazaar cover and Fendi/Chanel advertisements waiting and Adrianne owned her during the show)
1. Adrianne (Do I need to say anything about Ms. Fabulous?)

Nude Shoot With Diamonds While Looking Like A Mess

Amazing shoot but Robin and Shannon did not participate in the shoot because of their religious beliefs and the episode was very...interesting shall we say. Anyways, the shoot was definitely the best of the cycle and I'm so happy that the two best girls were the only ones who did it.

1.-ELYSE
Truly fantastic. I love the color scheme here and how Elyse kind of looks like she's longing for something and her eyes here looks fantastic.

2.-ADRIANNE
This is practically the opposite of Elyse and it's truly a fabulous shot. Love how seductive Adrianne looks here and her body looks pretty fantastic here. Amazing.

FCO: Elyse
2. Adrianne

Bottom 2: Shannon and Robin
Eliminated: Robin

Next up is a B&W shoot which was done in the same episode and the finale.

Eiffel Tower

Definitely one of the worst shoot if not the worst shoot of the cycle. There were no great photos minus one.

1.-ELYSE
Gorgeous shot; love the awkward stance in this shot since it makes it more interesting and Elyse is actually modeling the lingerie and of course making it look fabulous.

2.-ROBIN
Love the emotion in this shot and she shows off the lingerie well. Nothing wrong about this shot...but nothing amazing.

3.-ADRIANNE
Not really XXX but it's not really a modeling shot since it doesn't show the lingerie at all. Scenery is stunning though.

4.-SHANNON
Guy makes this shot look awkward and Shannon looks very "in the moment" but she forgot about the fashion aspect.

5.-KESSE
Not really bad, but very awkward and dull.

And show's call outs!
FCO: Elyse
2. Shannon
3. Robin

Bottom 2: Adrianne and Kesse
Eliminated: Kesse

Up next is a HUGE step-up from this shoot with all lovely shots (in both shoots).

Reebok Shoes

Awesome shoot but the results were very half/half.

1.-ADRIANNE
This is so awesome. I love how athletic Adrianne looks here. The pose is very cool and her face looks stunning and her body from the looks of it looks fantastic. Once again, Adrianne hits it in the nail.

2.-SHANNON
This is such a cool shot. I love how unlike Adrianne, Shannon isn't really doing anything but still looks amazing. Everything about this shot looks awesome.

3.-ELYSE
Pose is amazing; I love how Elyse looks like some sort of ninja attacking but the face looks a bit blank and that guy really ruins this shot. Probably Elyse's weakest shot but it's still nice.

4.-GISELLE
Pose is quite awesome and you can definitely tell that Giselle is a dancer since I would have never been able to do that...but that's not saying much. XD Face is really stiff and a little unsure which brings down this shot.

5.-KESSE
Kesse is truly a Tyra 2.0 which I guess is a plus for her. This shot is nice but the face looks a bit...fake which makes this shot weaker and the pose isn't anything amazing. Still, it's not a bad shot.

6.-ROBIN
Robin is such a gorgeous girl and you can tell here that she is but she has never really looked fresh. Here she looks like a mom who's jumping around and try to look hip.

And show's call outs!
FCO: Adrianne
2. Kesse
3. Shannon
4. Robin

Bottom 2: Elyse and Giselle
Eliminated: Giselle

Up next is yet another lingerie shoot with terrible results and yes the judgings shall be quick.

Beauty Shoot with Snakes

One of the best shoots of the cycle for sure. Finally a step up after two mediocre weeks.

1.-ELYSE
This is such an awesome shot of Elyse. I love how despite having the least make up, shines completely through. Love the neutral colors and the Twiggy-esque eye lashes and I think that Elyse shines through.

2.-ADRIANNE
This is such an awesome shot. I love the purple painted mask on Adrianne and I love how she looks like some royal queen who if you mess with will mess with you with the deadly snake. Lovely shot.

3.-SHANNON
This is such an awesome shot and is definitely Shannon's best. I love how seductive she looks here and I think the gold looks amazing and I love the curls.

4.-GISELLE
Just amazing. I really love the gold on Giselle here since it kind of looks like art. I also love how the snake is next to her instead of around her neck; it makes this shot more interesting.

5.-ROBIN
Well isn't Ms. Robin smiling with her eyes? This is such a pretty shot and I think Robin looks stunning herself but it's more of a album cover for me than an editorial shot which brings down this shot and also I prefer the four above her.

6.-EBONY
Ebony's styling is just awesome. Everything about it just screams African Goddess which is always a plus. Love the confidence here and how regal Ebony looks although I wish she had more oomph in her eyes.

7.-KESSE
Amazing, amazing, amazing styling. Love the doll look but Kesse isn't doing anything to make this shot amazing. It's rather pretty which isn't good when you've got this kind of styling. But boy she looks a lot like Tyra here. :O

8.-NICOLE
This shot of Nicole is nice I guess but her face looks a little long here and I don't really think that Nicole is doing anything special here which makes this shot weaker and I hate the eyebrows here and snarl. I mean it's still a nice shot...but not amazing.

And call outs!
FCO: Shannon
2. Kesse
3. Elyse
4. Giselle
5. Adrianne
6. Robin

Bottom 2: Ebony and Nicole
Eliminated: Nicole

And then the next episode was a contact lense commercial and here are the call outs
