ANTM First watch/Rewatch thread
 

I haven't seen a thread for people watching or re-watching previous ANTM seasons so I thought I'd start one.

I'm planning on watching all ANTM seasons from the first one in order and I've already finished Cycle 1. I personally thought the season was really good and although it was a bit rough around the edges (like most first RTV seasons are) I was thoroughly entertained. There were lots of iconic moments such as Elyse's rant, Ebony/Robin fight and Robin/Shannon refusing to do a nude photoshoot (and Robin's tittie shaking getting exposed) and I loved Adrianne and I thought she was a great first winner.

Here's a cast ranking:
1. Elyse
2. Ebony
3. Adrianne
4. Robin
5. Shannon
6. Kesse
7. Giselle
8. Tessa
9. Katie
10. Nicole

Yay for not hating anyone. Ebony and especially Elyse are STARS <3

I'm starting Cycle 2 later. Looking forward to it!

omg the DW Read avatar :worship: she's a top tier cartoon character with Angelica Pickles, Helga Pitaki, Courtney Gripling, etc.

I've been tempted to pick ANTM up again at some point. Cycle 9 made me quit but I heard it just got even worse and tackier since with a few exceptions like 18 alol. The first eight cycles are iconic and amazing (except for 7) and I cannot WAIT for you to watch Cycle 3. It's the Pearl Islands, the BBUS3, the BBUK6, etc. of the franchise <3

I'm going to re watch every cycle soon because it was ages ago since I watched some as I watched them with my mum I've seen every single one apart from 21 and is not seen 22

Elyse and Robin were my two favourites from C1 from what I remember

Ignore Troy with regards to Cycle 7. That season is amazing, one of my all time favourites :love:

ANTM doesn't really get "bad" until Cycle 15... like, there are a few cycles prior to that which aren't ~amazing~ but they're nit really terrible either, just the worst of a good bunch. It starts to get "bad" from 15 onwards, but even then the cycles aren't really awful until like Cycle 19, since there's individual characters who make it worthwhile. 16, and 18 are exceptions to the post-15 rule though, and 19 would've been good had it not been for the social media shizz

Cycle 21 has been painful. I literally hate them all apart from Chantelle, Keith and maybe Adam. Will is soooo damn annoying and whiney.

I don't think 7 is bad per se, but it's just another cycle of ANTM. Like, it happened. It's definitely watchable but boring and bland when you compare it to any other cycle 1 through 8.

The bullying of Chantelle that cycle for people justifying it because "she was a bitch" even though she did nothing wrong and was completely disrespected by not only the contestants, but by Yu Tsai calling her a 'Panda' too...

I'm so pleased for how successful she's been post-show.

It had so many amazing moments... Monique "peeing" on the bed, "I AM a princess of the throne" fight, Monique vs Melrose, Melrsoe vs everyone, "Did you just remove that from your ass from last panel?", the male model who didn't like black girls, the messy Halle Berry makeover, the quiet girls standing up to louder girls, one of the models coming out as gay, ICONIC photoshoots and challenges etc :love: It was the right balance of serious modelling and entertaining drama.

8 wasn't really that great in terms of the purpose of the show, which is a modelling competition, however the drama and individual characters it produced were amazing so that's what stops it from being the first ~bad~ cycle I guess.

Pretty much every cycle has an iconic moment though.

I feel like a lot of the drama centered around Monique but she doesn't rly do it for me! I found her whole shtick to be pretty transparent since she was just trying sooo hard to be a villain. It doesn't help that she had to follow Jade, but like, she clearly went in with the goal to come out like New York and she ended up more like a random Bad Girls Club nobody. Just about every other cycle delivered better content for me, C7 was just Melrose and Caridee and a bunch of forgettable nobodies to me.

Welp I forgot I made this thread. :joker:

Anyway, I've seen cycle 2 and it was amazing. I personally found it better than cycle 1 due to the editing being better and more drama happening (Camille vs. Yoanna, the signature walk, Shandi cheating etc.). I didn't like Yoanna and wasn't happy she won over Shandi/Mercedes but it doesn't really take anything away from the season for me.

Cast ranking:
1. Camille (duh)
2. Shandi
3. Mercedes
4. Catie
5. Xiomara
6. April
7. Jenascia
8. Sara
9. Bethany
10. Heather
11. Anna
12. Yoanna

I've also seen the cycle 3 first episode and holy **** it was AMAZING. The beer fight <3 THAT STANK HO POURED BEER ON MAH WEAVE <3333 Toccara's audition <33 Eva in general <333

oops it was random of me to bump it up but I've been pretty ANTM nostalgic lately so I felt like bumping this up. I went back and rewatched Crystalgate and Browniegate (#respeito) and got C3 was fantastic <3

I also went back and rewatched the F4 episode of C4 and holy **** it might be my fave episode of all time and entirely because of one person <3

SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I've heard Cycle 3 is epic and I think it's great so far (although I've only seen the first two episodes so far). The first episode/casting episode was absolutely amazing:

I can't wait to watch Cycle 4 either, mainly due to already having seen Tiffany in action and absolutely loving her. I can't wait to see her in action (including seeing the reason why she was yelled at by Tyra).

I had a day off so I decided to watch episode 3-5 of ANTM3 and this season is really just amazing. My favourite moment was definitely Crystalgate because everything about that fight was hilarious: Jennifer shoving Ann ("oh I'd like to see it!"), Eva being the bitch diva that she is, Toccara's reaction, the shouting interrupting Kristi(?) on the phone and Kelle panicking in the background looking for sunglasses :joker::joker::joker:

The boot order is great as well because most of the irrelevant girls have been weeded out and all the stars still remain. Ranking so far:
1. Toccara - she fun, fabulous and loving it. I shed a tear when she started crying to Tyra ngl
2. Kelle - her and her snout are hilarious. I'm glad she's been able to stay despite taking crappy pics <3
3. Eva - Eva the diva <3
4. Norelle - a nice background dork
5. Yaya - I do like her but she hasn't really done much so far
6. Cassie - I felt bad for her about her bulimia
7. Ann - IDK how to feel, she brings the drama yet I don't really like her so far
8. Nicole - who?
9. Amanda - this is probably unpopular but I kinda hate her. She had no business telling everyone about Cassie's problems and she was such a **** during crystalgate with her weird Eva hatred. She may be a good model but idc

I don't really feel anything about the eliminated models. I kinda liked Julie and I kinda hated Jennifer but eh.

I can't fault that list at all <333 Amanda is hella overrated and one of the most annoying contestants ever.

Eva is my favourite of cycle 3 she's fab! I hate Amanda too and she's only liked through pity

Welp. Browniegate was hilarious

alol Yaya may be the most smug and condescending person on the planet <33333

"Some people think it's funny to kill people, that doesn't make it funny *is completely serious*"

I live for Eva's pre-makeover hair <3

It fascinates me tbh.

I loved Tocarra in the whole Brownies Respeito thing too.

"And Toccara didn't steal the cookies from the cookie jar, And Yaya didn't steal the cookies from the cookie jar, And Norelle didn't steal the cookies from the cookie jar, And Eva didn't steal- *silence* mmmmhmm, I'll see y'all at dinner ;)"

Also Kelle is such an underrated character in ANTM. This gif pretty much sums her up:

And also can we take a moment @ how much she was sabotaged with her photos, like
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../bscap2282.jpg vs http://antm411.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/kelle.jpg
The latter is clearly worse yet that's was what she was given at panel which landed her in the bottom 2 </3

Self-proclaimed monkey-mouth queen <3

I loooooooove Kelle and she might be my fave from C3? Everything about her is hilarious to me. Also, here's another one of Kelle's pics that was definitely better than her "best pic" :rolleyes:

http://i.imgur.com/t6q3o.png

I absolutely love Kelle and I agree she got kinda screwed over. She is so hilarious yet can be sympathetic and complex too. She's my second fave atm behind Toccara (and tbh I will probably end up liking Eva more than her too), but she's still amazing :love:

IDK why the judges eliminated her over ANN of all people

I know you've already seen Cycle 6 but can we just relive this for a moment :flutter:
