No fair! It seems like I *just* got part of my Wednesday nights back!
The CW released the names of the 14 contestants in Cycle 10 of “America’s Next Top Model” — in case you thought that was the cast of some touring production of “Chicago” above. A look at each of the girls is after the jump. …
Yay, Marvita’s back (even if the photos from my original post have disappeared)! Could she pull a Jaslene (not picked last cycle, wins this one)? I’m glad to see she’s employed this time around. I like Allison’s look in the main picture, but not so much in her individual shot. Of all the pale-skinned, brown-haired girls (see two others in the next row of photos, and one more in the row after that), I like Amy best.
Lauren describes herself as an artist and lives in Brooklyn, so I hate her on principle. Freaking hipsters. Off my screen, Samantha Mathis with your ripped tee. I love Dominique’s face — she’d be one of my top three! — but she falls in the Coryn category of very strong cheekbones/manly face. But she’s got one of the few memorable faces in the batch. Not so much with Amy/”Amis,” who’s got a boyish vibe going on.
Atalya’s got classic features and seems to connect well with the camera. Anya (what is with all these “A” names?) looks a bit like past contestant Ann Markley. Kimberly’s got one of the roundest faces I’ve ever seen on the show. I wish I could figure out which actress she reminds me of.
Fatima has a beautiful face but is skin-ny. Katarzyna’s features are odd to me — such wide eyes, and then squashed-up nose and mouth. And speaking of squashed, Tracy-Ann reminds me of past winner Danielle, only with her features condensed and altered slightly.
Whitney: Plus-size girl. They never last, even if she does have a bigger-Angie-Harmon look about her in this main photo. And Claire’s got a great unplaceable ethnic look about her, kind of like Naima-meets-Claudia Mason. I’m going to pretend I didn’t see her in those leg warmers.
My top three: Dominique, definitely; Atalya, maybe; and Amy, I guess. I hasten to point out I’m going off faces alone — I haven’t seen videos or anything yet. I want Marvita to stick around because she was so down-to-earth. I think Tracy-Ann will be the one who gets under your skin, and Amy/Amis is going to be the one with the amazing makeover … if she lasts that long.
And whom will you be rooting for? The new season starts Feb. 20.

I can picture an actress perfectly when I see her face, but I cannot picture the movie she was in nor the name. And it is none of the above. She has a annoying voice.

I think it might be the plus size girl that wins this time. They seem to like having a different theme for the winner each time.
