Wow it's amazing that there are only 5 left and that another few weeks we will find ourself watching Amsterdam action! Anyway I think the contest is really strong currently and I actually thought nearly all the girls got good shots this week. I love the idea though and I think this year they've had some very good idea (least will probably be the voting one - too amateurish). Anyway this episode has hugely solidified the uprising of Lauren Brie! Queen Elina was sitting comfortably on her throne as top of the pack but now a new threat is in town.
Ok so now looking at this week, at the beginning I thought oh my god this episode is going to not feature Lauren Brie or McKey again in my opinion it is so that when they leave the viewers won't feel as bad cause currently they are two of the strongest contenders! To be honest I think the show has focused too much on the ones they are going to send home whilst the other girls are barely unseen. Let's put it this way if we edit out all the judgings I believe we only have about 5 minutes or less of Lauren Brie! But because her photos have been perfect she is staying in my keen eye! Anyway seeing the catwalks this is what I thought:
Elina was good but I hated that outfit, Analeigh was interesting, Samantha was AWFUL!, Sheena was great in my opinion, Clark was good but slightly weird, Lauren Brie was very different, Marjorie was so thin and unsteady, Joslyn did well, Hannah was so robotic, Isis was good and Mckey was ok.
Overall it's easy to see that Hannah and Samantha were by far the worst!
Ok now the photos, Lauren Brie was my favourite because it exuded so many emotions and looked so picture perfect. Clark was so close to taking the top and I was really surprised how good it was. McKey was third whilst at the bottom 2 were Isis and Marjorie (for looking like a pile of fierce body parts!).
Elina still has a comfortable lead from the fact that she started so well in the beginning and has not dropped out of the top bunch of photos every week. Joslyn is still second for me, she started off so well for me that only Elina was ahead of her but she has been sliding fast. Lauren Brie is third but is very close to Joslyn. She's just done so well the past two weeks but her previous ones were not as great therefore she is 3rd. Analeigh comes forth whilst McKey is fifth because she does so well but has not had that Knockout photo which has put her in on top. However the top 5 are so so close (disregarding Elina having a strong lead). Sheena then comes in at 6th, she is currently a dark horse for me as she has safely tucked herself in the mid pack for quite some time. Samantha is next whilst Clark is storming back into contention (even though she is still 8/9). and finally poor Marjorie is last basically because I have not seen a shot of her which I think would knock me over. And so therefore I would want Marjorie to go next, then Samantha and probably then Clark so that we have a extremely strong Top 6. Next week is going to be so interesting, questions like will Lauren Brie make it three in a row (top shots for me), will Elina keep her impeccable record, will Joslyn continue to fall, will Mckey rise to the challenge, will Sheena break the "in the Middle" mould, and obviously who will go next! In my opinion it can't be Lauren Brie, McKey or Sheena. Elina, Clark and Marjorie are quite safe from elimination. Joslyn should be Ok but I wouldn't put my money on her (however 5 black girls in a row leaving no black girls in the house would be extraordinary). So therefore I'm tipping Analeigh and Samantha. Samantha because she lacks the runway and seems to be declining and Analeigh because even though she has had one good week with the judges it's still not enough to save her from being a possible eliminee.
I also decided to do some moving averages of the scores (haha I'm such a geek!) if you don't know what they are check it up. Anyway I will be using the past three shots (and this will be relevant for each new week) to figure out my favourite currently photos wise. It turns out that Lauren Brie, McKey, Analeigh and Clark are in my top 5. The it's Sheena, Joslyn, Samantha, Marjorie and Isis. These should be a more accurate picture to who my favourites (photo wise) currently are. Whilst basically I like most of the contestants. To be honest if I had to pick who I least like it would be Clark purely based on Episode 2! Whilst Samantha maybe an ulternative because I like her least compared to the others.
For predictions I think the winner is Sheena - personality: check, liked by the judges: check, doing Ok currently: check, different: check. She seems to be the one for ANTM 11.
Finalist I think would be Elina or McKey: This week has shown us more and more of a flaw towards Elina and to be honest finalists never really receive this much attention! McKey is looking more and more like a potential finalist as she is doing great and we have seen so little personality since Episode 1.
To me I think Samantha will go soon for sure. Analeigh will probably go soon, whilst Clark may go soon (depends on next week).
The girl I think will be eliminated when they do a commercial is Lauren Brie or Majorie as I don't think Lauren Brie would win and if she keeps her fantastic shots going then where else would she be eliminated in and Marjorie because she is fragile!

Strictly Come Dancing
Just to say I'll be covering the SCD6 competitions on this blog as well and just to start me off will be last nights show. Ok Tom and Camilla came out first and definitely set the bar high for the remaining 7, I was a bit iffy with this couple before the show as I wasn't sure if I would like them but when has Camilla not given me a couple not to love! Just look at Camilla/Roger way back in Series 2 and Camilla/Gethin last year.
Anyway after that it was mostly going to go downhill. It was Phil and Flavia next, besides the short VT there was nothing that I liked about this couple. Phil danced so nervously that it looked cringing. In the end I gave them the exact score as the judges did.
Don and Lilia were never going to be in my favourite couples list but in my opinion they did better than Phil and Flavia but the judges didn't see that and gave them 19.
Austin and Erin were the shock of the night. I love Erin to bits and finally she has a contender that could put her back into the final weeks. I really hope they do so as there waltz was fantastic for a first show attempt.
Mark and Hayley were next and had a lot to live up to as Austin and Erin had earlier waltzed their way to success. But it wasn't to be for them, though Mark seemed a little hunched I thought he did a good job but the judges obviously thought differently.
Next was Gary and Karen. Gary had been filming in where my cousin works a few months ago so I was cheering for a local to get far but sadly he flopped with the judges, I thought he was energetic but nothing other than that. Though Craig's 1 was a bit harsh. I hope the public votes for him and instead give Don and Lilia the boot - Karen can't go first twice in a row!
Jon and Kristina were next and I have to say poor Kristina for getting the guy who is least likely to win! Anyway he did ok but he's probably going to stay for at least another week as he is 5th out of 8th! Finally it was Andrew and Ola. Bravo to the tennis player, bravo to the GMTV presenter. He was energetic and passionate but all in all slightly cring worthy! However still a good job.
So my partner of the week goes to
Erin and Austin (who therefore become best Waltz of the night)
and
best Cha Cha Cha of the night goes to
Tom and Camilla
The couple who I hope won't go out is
Gary and Kevin
and finally the couple I'll be cheering for in week 3 will be Mark and Hayley!
Can't wait for tonights elimination and next weeks girls first dance!

ANTM Episode 4
Wow, so Brittany is out! I didn't really like her after this episode but I have to say her photos aren't as bad in my opinion, I honestly thought that the judges had had enough of Analeigh but I guess if Analeigh went out third there would be huge commotion! That makes it three black girls out!
Anyway it seems like Clark and Mckey are getting as little attention on them as possible. Anyway I liked most photos this week whilst I absolutely loved the face of Lauren Brie's photo it was near divine! Well anyway with this weeks results the top for photos are - Elina (even when I don't really love her photos I find I give them high marks anyway!), Joslyn (she's just too much of a chameleon for me not to like her!), Analeigh (I like her photos but the judges don't!) following on was Brittany, Lauren Brie, McKey, Sheena, Samantha, Marjorie, Isis, Hannah and finally Clark!
Looking at each girl individally I've found that no girl has been in in the top 5 in each photoshoot since the pre show official portrait for me. The closest has been Elina who has a lowest placing of 6th for me. This year the girls seem to be quite equal at the moment.
Elina
She has started off so well at the start and I'm sure she would get to the final 3. I think she seems like a perfect last two candidate - she'll either be the finalist cause she does extremely well or she'll win because she brings something different to ANTM.
Joslyn
Like Elina she has started off well for me, though she has generally been beaten by Elina except for in Episode 3. She has started to slide down a bit for me but I'm sure she'll jump right back up afterwards.
Hannah
Other than her Official Portrait she has been in the bottom 3 for each photo shoot. It's definitely not looking good for her in my books, but it seems she may be the next "project" for Tyra like Lauren was!
Analeigh
The most underated girl by Tyra! She has been doing well with me except for in Episode 4 where she dropped to bottom 3! Anyway she is still hanging on but I doubt Tyra wants her for much longer.
Lauren Brie
She didn't leave an impression on me at the start but with Episode 4 I have totally put her up with my second group of favourites! I'm really interested to see what she does next as she seems so interesting.
ShaRaun
She's left but I still wanted to comment, I didn't like her personality that much but to be honest I would have wanted to se her a bit more.
Brittany
She is the "pretty girl of the series" except for her lips! I think she did well and didn't deserve to leave so early.
Marjorie
The Marjorie fever hasn't grown on me and instead it seems to have died down. She seems to be fading into the background!
Samantha
For the first three episodes I barely even knew she was there but then come Episode 4 she finally did something that caught my attention, it would take a bit longer for me to like her but she's getting there.
Sheena
Go Asians! Anyway she has been jumping up and down but I have yet to see something that would place her into the top 3 of the group - closest Episode 4 when she came 4th for me.
Nikeysha
Liked her personality because it was interesting but I didn't like her photos that much - she kept on doing the same mistakes but I thought she could have been moulded though maybe taking longer than some girls.
Isis
She's fading fast with me. I'm sorry but she isn't that photogenic and I agree with the photographer purely on facial structure she doesn't really work as a model. I would love to see her go further but I do need to see some fantastic shots!
Clark
I thought Episode 3 would be her sudden enlightenment when her photo rose out of bottom 2 but Episode 4 saw her drop back to bottom 2. Well she should be happy that at least she hasn't had a worst shot of the week for me!
Mckey
She has barely any screentime! Anyway she is doing ok but her weak official portrait has made it difficult for her to contend with the top.
Favourite 3 Contestants
Sheena, Joslyn, Analeigh
Second Group
Marjorie, Hannah ,Mckey (would love to put her amongst the top 3 but have seen so little of her)
then...
Elina, Lauren Brie, Isis, Samantha, Clark
Therefore my overall favourite contestants are probably: Joslyn and Analeigh! (need to think of an alternative for Analeigh as she looks to be going soon!)

ANTM Episode 3
Ok so it's episode 3 and another girl has to go, this time it is Nikeysha and I do think it is well deserved (but I would have liked to see her for a bit longer).
Anyway I thought Hannah's actions to be quite extreme; the pushing Isis away thing, I still like Hannah but now I have some reservations towards her. I'm sure she isn't doing it on purpose but it is only because she is a "small town girl"!
Well everyone seems to love Lauren Brie's photo but to me I don't see eye to eye. I think it is interesting but kind of weird. I understand that modelling seems to be verging towards those extremes but I still think beauty is needed. Elina also seemed to be a bit too much for me - she looked like an X-men character! One thing though is that I had actually forgotten about the existance of Samantha for a long time (she needs to really step up her game or do more controversial things to get some screen time! Sheena also seems to be getting a bit too competitive nowadays (I actually like her Episode 2 personality more). Clark is also doing better now as she doesn't look 20 years older than she really is anymore. I thought Brittany and Analeigh also did well but the judges definitely judged a lot of photos opposite to what I thought. Especially Analeigh, I think the judges are being extremely harsh towards her.
My Top 3 in photos are still Elina, Joslyn and Analeigh. Brittany is actually doing extremely well in my scoring even though if I were to place her I would place her lower than my actual scores. Mckey is definitely getting higher and higher - I didn't like her pre show portrait and that is the main reason why she is not in the Top 3 currently. At bottom is Nikeysha whilst a huge gap seperates her and Clark and Samantha.
I currently like most of the girls but Analeigh is definitely shining out more than the others in my opinion and therefore making her probably my favourite contestant at the moment. Whilst there are 3 which I have different views on. One is Samantha - I just don't see any of her personality coming through and she is forgettable. I still don't like Clark for Episode 2 so it would take some very nice things from her to get back into my good books and finally there is Brittany who seems kind of like a trouble starter to me. I don't know why but I just get this bad feeling from her.

ANTM 1st review
Well I've judged two of the photos and it's quite evident who I like and dislike, I've also watched two episodes and it's also quite evident which girls I like and dislike. Well photos wise my two top currently are Elina and Joslyn - Elina for her incapability to take a photo where her eyes aren't stunning and Joslyn for making me speechless as I didn't expect her to be such a chameleon. 3rd is Analeigh for just being cute, bubbly and fun. then theirs a whole bunch of girls that are in the middle of the pack whilst at the end is Clark and Nikeysha. Clark just can't photo without looking 20 years older than she is - she's pretty but not photogenic, whilst Nikeysha just looks awkward and needs to work on angles that make her look good -rather than angles which make her look like an alien! On the first photoshoot Mckey also amazed me for her being so photogenic, though her poses were awkward in my opinion.
Personality and likeability wise I think Joslyn, Mckey, Analeigh, Sheena, Hannah and Marjorie stood out the most. Also bravo to Isis for being so brave against those evil girls - I hoep none of the girls I listed above were part of the attack on Isis! Elina is also an interesting character. Samantha, Brittany and Lauren Brie currently don't stand out in my opinion whilst Nikeysha seemed to have died towards the end. Clark has a despicable attitude whilst ShaRaun was Ok but she's gone now so I don't have much else to add.
It's definitely interesting because at the start McKey, Marjorie, Hannah and Sheena weren't in my like lists but I have to say all of them are so likeable and have a great personality.
Though I can't say I have a out right favourite yet I do think I know who I don't like currently and that is CLARK!
