America’s Next Top Model 3, Episode 11: Street Style A-Plenty

Yaya is first to come before the judges and Nole’ isn’t a fan of her outfit, but Tyra likes it. Shingo seems to like it too, but he was disappointed he didn’t get to see her at the go see. When he reveals that she was late, Janice says that she can’t be late anywhere, and she can’t make excuses. They look at her photo and love it. However, Nigel says that she looks somewhat chunky in it. Umm, MY Yaya isn’t chunky!

Amanda goes in next, and Hitomi doesn’t like her outfit. They start stripping her, but when they look at her shot, they think it’s amazing. Nigel says there are a few issues with her hands, but it’s forgivable.

Ann is next and Janice hates her outfit. Nigel isn’t a fan either. Ann looks really tired and the judges pick up on it. They look at her shot and aren’t impressed at all. Ann says that the shot was exciting, but Janice says they don’t feel like it. Tyra says that she has to start pulling from some of her inspiration, and when she asks Ann who her favorite band or actress is, Ann doesn’t have an answer.

Eva is last and they aren’t feeling her outfit either. They start hacking up her shorts, and after they look at her photo, Janice is really frustrated. Nigel says it doesn’t work at all and Nole’ agrees. It’s time for the judges to deliberate!

In the holding room, Ann looks very nervous and feels there is no chance that she is staying. She starts complaining and says that she couldn’t name a band or actress because she likes a lot of them, she can’t lie – like Eva. Eva starts to get snippy back, and Ann says she can’t say things for the hell of it. They start to bicker as Amanda and Yaya stay out of this one. Ann says she’s done with it, while Eva tells that camera that she prayed for Ann all the time to do well, and still hopes she remains, as she starts to cry. Eva saw some good in Ann and wants her do well.

Meanwhile, the judges are deliberating. Nole’ loves Yaya’s photo, and so does Shingo. Nigel isn’t impressed, but Janice likes her too. Amanda reeks of a model in her pictures, but they aren’t sure about her presence. They think Ann still hasn’t gotten the whole thing down, but is working hard to be a model. Janice thinks they have given her some time, but she has shown no growth. Nole’ thinks that Eva is alright, but Nigel says that she has a great personality. Tyra sees her as a model in front of her, but still isn’t sure.

The girls are called back in and Tyra tells them that she has three photos. The three girls that she names will stay, while the other will have to pack her bags and go home. She also tells them that out of the four of them, she can’t see any of them winning the competition, so they all have to step it up. She says that after tonight, there is only one week left, and they all have to prove to her that they can do it.

The first name called is Amanda, and Tyra tells her that she has to do her own critique. Amanda says that she has to work on her presence, and Tyra tells her that she hit the nail on the head. The next name called is MY Yaya, who critiques herself saying that she knows it’s important that she has to be likable to everyone, as she sheds a tear. Aww, I love you MY Yaya!

Ann and Eva step up. Tyra says that she has only one photo in her hand, and it’s of the girl who will continue on. Eva is told that anything negative that she experiences, she blames on other people, instead of looking on the inside. Ann is told that to be in the competition, she has to get everything down, and she doesn’t seem to be doing that. She isn’t taking responsibility, and that is why Eva’s name is called. Ann hugs the other girls, but doesn’t hug Eva! She walks right out and tells the camera that she thought Eva would be her friend, but there was so much tension. She hopes that her not hugging Eva won’t affect their friendship, and if it does, they were never friends to begin with. It was hard for her in front of the panel, and she’s glad it’s over.

Next week is the finale! After 11 cuts, the final three remain and they have to strut up and down another runway! The judges will struggle with a decision, but who will be America’s Next Top Model? Will it be Amanda, Eva, or MY Yaya? I hope its MY Yaya, but part of me thinks its Eva. If it’s Amanda, I’ll be shocked! Find out next week!
