ANTM C13 Makeovers

Okay so the first part of the episode after casting was MAKEOVERS! So I'm going to give preshow and makeover photo and say which look I prefer more.  Starting with my favorites!

1.-NICOLE
Definitely better after.  I love how she looks like a beast...with some high heels.  Perfect red hair and volume.  Love.

2.
Umm yeah Erin got a major upgrade.  I love this bleach blonde hair on Erin even though there are times when it doesn't look that great but for the majority of the part, Erin looks amazing with the bleached hair.

3.-RAE
And we have the other half of the albino twins! Before Rae looked plain and boring but now she looks like an ethereal angel/ice queen which is of course love.

4.-BRITTANY
I prefer Brittany before.  She always looked older after that and that just isn't good especially if you're so short.  The only positive about the makeover is it looked great post-show but it was just on the show where it looked not so good.

5.-LAURA
Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl.  Laura needed volume BADLY.  She looks fabulous in the makeover photo and in preshow, she looks bland and a typical country doll.

6.-JENNIFER
Much better.  Jennifer needed some trimming in her hair and it looks much better.  Nothing much else to say.

7.-LISA
It's nothing huge...all Lisa got was a trim and for that I feel bad for her for that since it's not like Natalie/Heather where they're so lovely that they don't need a drastic makeover.  I mean Lisa is gorgeous but she's very plain so that she didn't get a makeover, it kind of made it more obvious after her being a semi-finalist who was supposed to replace the lovely Amber in the cast who I adore so much.  So just those two things made it really obvious that she was going to get eliminated early...

8.-KARA
Nice! Kara looks like some California person with perfect hair and a good body.  Lovely makeover.

9.-ASHLEY
I always find it so funny how we always have one or two girls with the weave in every single cycle and like all the other ones, it works perfectly here.  Also, I just want to say how much I feel bad for Ashley for getting such a bad edit on the show since off the show she seems nice.  I probably like her more that what I'm giving credit for but for right now I'll just leave her here.

10.-SUNDAI
Sundai really never worked the makeover she got.  I would have A. Cut it short or B. Replace her cheap weave with a new one but definitely not cut off all her hair because she just can't work it.

11.-LULU
Eh I think she looks pretty in both but personally I prefer her in the preshow photo.

12.-RACHEL
Okay so first I want to say that personality-wise, Rachel is awesome but she is soooooooooooooo overrated.  The makeover was absolutely perfect though.

13.-COURTNEY
Courtney is a gorgeous girl but I really appreciate this androgynous look on her.  So yeah definitely an upgrade.

14.-BIANCA
I'm on the fence with this makeover.  I think that the makeover photo shows the makeover perfectly but then we go to confessionals and

So let me just say that her look was ten times better before.

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful/THE FINALE!

Amazing cover girl shoot! Seriously, definitely one of my favorite cycle cover girl shoots if not my favorite...IDK it's tough to decide. D:

1.-FATIMA
Divine.  One of my favorite, if not my favorite Cover Girl shot of ANTM.   Fatima looks absolutely amazing, her skin looks sensational, and her eye lashes look perfect and sell the mascara perfectly.

2.-ANYA
I think that this photo is amazing (though probably one of Anya's weaker shots) but I feel as though it would be a teensy bit better if she brought her eyes down a little lower.  Still, she looks absolutely stunning here.

3.-WHITNEY
This photo is stunning and I think that she shows the mascara well but the mouth just looks horrible.  I wish she would have closed it since she's making her upper lip look thin.  Still it's a gorgeous photo and one of Whintey's best.

And the call outs!
FCO: Anya

Bottom 2: Whitney and Fatima
Eliminated: Fatima who was robbed

And then Whitney won ._.

And my personal elimination order!
14. Kimberly (Shame she quit but I totally understand why.  I wouldn't have let her on the show now though so she could come back another cycle.  She would have probably went a little farther)
13. Atalya (Bland overall for me.  She had my least favorite photo and her look was nice but more commercial which isn't bad but I can't really see her doing well in any future shoots)
12. Dominique (Yes she was entertainment gold but her photos up to now were not good.  She had the weakest photo of the week and I don't think it was just because of the hair.)
11. Stacy Ann (Do you really think that I would eliminate Aimee or Fatima over Stacy Ann? Up to now her portfolio has been terribly mediocre and the only person who has been on her same level has taken a good photo this week and an amazing makeover photo.)
10. Amis (Up to now, she hasn't taken that many great photos and although Whitney's photo is probably worse than this, she has taken one great photo so I'd cut Ms. Jenkins here.)
9. Allison (I don't really think that Allison would have been that great in these shoots.  I mean yeah her first photo was stunning and her second was okay, but I could never really see her taking any really great photos after that except maybe the meat shoot.)
8. Claire (I saved Claire last week because of her gorgeous Paint shoot but this week, I just can't really save her this week since her photo is second weakest after Lauren who has done better so far.)
7. Whitney (Weakest photo and weakest portfolio.)
6. Lauren (Lauren is the epitome of inconsistency.  She has had some amazing photos but also some horrible ones.  One of the weaker ones here at this point.)
5. Marvita (I love Marvita and obviously I think she was robbed but I don't think that this shoot would really be for her.  She may do a great job with the proper styling but I'd imagine them giving her something horrible to wear.
4. Katarzyna (I expect an amazing photo this week but I think that everyone else would have done amazing this week and are stronger.)
3. Aimee (So I'd expect that Aimee's photo would be amazing but no way am I screwing up my Fatima and Anya top 2.)
2. Fatima (Amazing portfolio with a few misses and an amazing look.  Girl was made for fashion though Anya's been consistent overall)
1. Anya (Amazing portfolio with no bad photos in it.  She has constantly impressed me with her portfolio and personality.  The true winner of C10 IMO.)

Take My Photo Please!

Well this shoot was pretty great but no one did good except for ANNNNNNNNNNNNNYA! Love her so much!

1.-ANYA
Okay so even if this was an accident, it's an amazing photo.  I love how caught in the moment she looks as if she really was caught by the paparazzi but she looks like a model as well.  One of my favorite photos of the cycle.

2.-FATIMA
So this photo is very beautiful and I think Fatima's smile looks lovely here but she doesn't look like a model rather than a pretty girl.  Still, she does look beautiful.

3.-WHITNEY
The full-body shot is great.  She looks sexy and looks as if she's trying to hide from the paparazzi yet wants her photo taken as well.  My only negative is that her face looks a bit off.  I don't know what but there's something that I just don't like about it.

4.-DOMINIQUE
Yuck this is a horrible shot of a forty year old celebrity with her much younger boyfriend who's looks slightly embarrassed.  On the bright side I do love the emotion on her face and like Lauren, I think it's a shame that after such a great photo last week, she creates this.

And the call outs!
1. Anya
2. Whitney

Bottom 2: Fatima and Dominique
Eliminated: Dominique

Castle Couture Queens

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing shoot! Ah I loved it and it actually had great results! Yay!

1.-FATIMA
Absolutely fantastic shot once again!  Fatima looks like some diva who's pissed off that you haven't given her the world.  Cruela De Vil meets fashion! Love so much!

2.-ANYA
Okay so unlike Fatima and Dominique, Anya looks like some adorable princess who's got a love for purple lol.  I love how editorial this photo is and I think that the close up is divine and looks like art.  I hate how far behind she's been shot but in a way I love that there's a slight mystery in this photo.  Love.

3.-DOMINIQUE
So at first this was probably my favorite photo after Fatima but then I looked at Anya's close up and loved it more lol.  This is amazing though and probably Dominique's best photo.  I love how her face looks here as if she's listening into a conversation.  Love.

4.-KATARZYNA
So get ready to go crazy because guess who got eliminated? Yeah it was Kat and even worse is that Whitney had a photo that was ten times worse and a look that is completely bland unlike Kat.  The pose is a bit stiff though I think she shows the dress well.  The close up is fantastic though and probably my third favorite close up after Fatima and Anya.  And now the wreck of a photo that stayed over Katarzyna

5.-WHITNEY
Do I even need to say anything? The face is an utter wreck and shows the absolute worst part of Whitney's face, her jawline looks horrible, she looks horrible with the jewelry and really can't handle that or the make up, and she makes the dress look $20 rather than probably $100 or even $1000.

And the call outs!
1. Fatima
2. Dominique
3. Anya
