9. Kyle (I bet Marissa will be in bottom 2 with her) - She's just not getting better at all and it doesn't seem like she's putting in much effort. 8. Paige - She's getting middle of the road edit. 7. India - She's a sweet girl but I don't think she'll make it overseas. 6. Marissa - I think she'll pull out a few more good photos but plummet one week. 5. Binta - She'll improve but will peak around the time they go overseas. 4. Tatiana - I really love Tatiana but based on her edit I don't see her winning unfortunately. 3. Cory Anne - I think her story of going up and down up and down will continue to play out until final 3 when she gets eliminated. However, she could win though if she doesn't continue to be so up and down. 2. Courtney - She's obviously getting the runner up edit. 1. Cody - I have a strong feeling that she's going to win. They'll have a story like "You're 27 and proving that it's never to late to become a model" sort of thing. They will also celebrate that she's come to embrace a more feminine side. It just seems obvious to me that Cody is getting the winner's edit. I suppose you could switch Cody with Cory Anne though.
This isn't necessarily how I want it to play out but rather just a prediction of what I see to be the most likely outcome.
That could be possible. Tatiana is very well rounded. I'm rooting for Binta because she's so high fashion but I wish she'd get better in photos. With some practice I could see her landing work in Paris or Milan.
Sadly seems like Binta didn't make it. I can't say I'm surprised only because they're all about doing music videos lately and Binta/Marissa were two girls who took great pictures but weren't great dancers.
7. Tash 6. Coryanne 5. Cody 4. Courtney 3. Paige 2. Tatiana 1. India
I'm pretty positive that neither Coryanne or Courtney will win (simply because of their attitudes, ANTM doesn't want to attach their name to someone who might not represent them well and they rarely pick an unpopular girl no matter how talented. Although I don't think Coryanne is actually all that talented, she just grew up around the world. And viewers wouldn't like seeing the daughter of a supermodel who's already got a glamorous life win, it would feel unfair)
I don't think Cody or Tash will win because I can already tell each is going to drag the other one down. Unfortunately I would have pegged Cody to go farther until I found out Tash came back.
Paige and Tatiana have always been consistently good, and I think consistency matters more as you get farther because all it takes is one bad shot. Paige is too commercial, Tatiana is good but never shines as much, I feel like India has been consistently good enough since her make-over that I can see her taking it all. And she's got a personality that works well with a winner, she doesn't start fights or add drama and focuses on the work.
I have a feeling that the rest of the girls are going to succumb to stress, self-doubt, drama and competition and of all of them India and Paige seem best equipped to handle it, but Paige is too commercial to win so I think it'll be India. Memorable name, memorable hair. I wouldn't be mad about it.
But you also have to factor in the prizes. I'm not so sure India is the best fit for the prizes. I can't really see her having a talent deal with VH1. Whereas, I can see Tatiana doing that. Also, the theme of this cycle has been business/brand/boss. Something that I think Tatiana had the edge over India on.
India screams runner up to me. And I don't personally feel she's been consistent. She struggled with a few of the shoots.
I see India as Raina, Tatiana as Krista. That's the sense I'm getting from this cycle. Plus, Tatiana is kind of getting more of a story. India really isn't. Tatiana's whole journey has been about how she feels she does good, but it's never been her time to shine..that's very foretelling.
I do think, with almost 100% certainty, that it will be Tatiana vs India.
I agree it will come down to Tatiana and India, but if having a Brand is more important than modelling than what's the point of the competition? Just give Tatiana the prize now and not bother with the model part at all.
Also I'd think that Kristlianne (sp?) would have lasted way longer if that were the case because she was ace at social media. She wasn't a consistent model, though, and Tatiana hasn't been all that consistent either, especially this week.
I know I said it in another post, but often girls who have too aggressive of a desire to win often shoot themselves in the foot because of it. True they do want a "story" but more along the lines of Cody's where she started off not having confidence in herself and blossomed into a model over the course of the show. Girls can relate to her in a way that's harder to relate to an already-businesswoman who has her foot in the door.
But I could be wrong, too bad the boards won't be here by the time the show finishes.
Well I predicted a Paige/Tatianna final two, so...
Now I'm gonna guess Tatianna and Tash? I don't know. I'd love India to win, but she's not the typical ANTM winner (and goodness knows they don't like to stray far from the script). Obviously Courtney won't win. Maybe she'll pull a Melrose and be runner up.
What I've got in my head you can't buy, steal, or borrow. I believe in live and let live.
