FNTM Week 2: Movie Genres + Backstage Beauty (Elimination Up!)


Greetings everyone! I thought I would release the theme for next week a bit early so that we can be more ready to start voting for the next round sooner rather than later after first elimination. I intend to release photoshoot themes for upcoming weeks two days prior to elimination. If everyone gets their photos in sooner we can keep the game going at a solid pace. I'll still give contestants more time if they need it though but for those who want to submit photos early are more than welcome to do so.

So for week 2 the models are going to face another challenge that should be quite interesting. They're all going have to get into character! We want to get a story from their pictures as the models will have to portray a role in a movie of a specific genre of their choice. You can go action route or horror or comedy or drama or suspense, etc. Be creative, have fun, and remember that you need your photo to convey a specific genre of your choice!

For next weeks challenge we need you to submit a backstage beauty shot from a runway show of your model. You can find these simply by looking through your model's fashionspot page.

If ya'll can get your photos in within seven days that would be so lovely! You can post your photographs here or PM them to me. Good luck!

reply

Terry Richardson somehow always manages to make models look very cheap and I think your model will land in the bottom 3 this week because of it. Oh well

reply

Well, then I'm sure your photo will be right alongside mine.

reply

Can you try taking it easy, smiley1919? I really don't want this game to turn into a dramatic fight and I've noticed you're already taking jabs at four different players (Imaan, Issa, Karlie, Kendall). There's a huge difference between trying to be constructive and being mean and it's becoming clear to me that you're trying to stir up some sh!t rather than be constructive. I am nipping this in the bud before it gets out of control. It's good to be confident and helpful but not good to be arrogant,antagonistic, and a know-it-all.

reply

OK OK I'll try to restrain myself lol

I was being honest about my feelings but i guess a little too honest. I don't think Issa or Kendall are real models and Imaan and Karlie are underwhelming me in their pics but whatever I should've kept my trap shut. I didn't realize that it would be such a problem to be real in this game.

The thing is though that I'm only trying to push those other contestants out to try harder because I feel like they're not on the same level as me right now. I wasn't impressed by them I'm not trying to fight with anyone.

I guess they will all vote me last now even though I don't deserve it. My photo is one of the best of the week if we're being totally fair.

reply

It's a good idea for you to focus on your own model rather than the rest of the models. It's not for you to decide who is a real model or not. We're all entitled to our opinions but saying that girls aren't models is actually quite insulting to their players. You're a contestant, not a judge in this competition. Yes, contestants are allowed to critique but you should wait until voting is up and when you post your ranking. Please stop trying to cause problems for others and focus on yourself rather than other players.

reply

OHH I see so judges can be bitchy n honest but we can't. OK thanks. Gotcha

reply

There is a hierarchy. You are a contestant, we are judges. There is a hierarchy obviously because the way this game is structured to be like an ANTM cycle. We also wait until panel to reveal our critiques. I'm not going to argue to argue with you.

reply

OK whatever its your game. I'll follow your goddamn rules OK

reply

Honestly I dont think contestants should be discouraged from posting negative feedback before voting is open. that feedback can be used to re-evaluate and maybe even change your photo for that week. I hate to think that people cant voice their honest opinions either because it seems its a real representation of the industry. Its constantly being portrayed as being a harsh world in which to be involved in. That being said, it definitely sucks to be told your model is this or that, but those are always just going to be the opinion of someone else....not a fact. Just dont take it personally and if you disagree, engage the person without being petty and ask questions...Sometimes the best way of understanding someones perspective is just asking them why they think something....instead of volleying an argument with an opposing opinion at them. I dont think there was intentional malice in Smileys comments....just harsh criticism in the form of an opinion. As long as it doesnt turn into a personal attack on us as people (only the models) Id say that a little competitive spirit isnt a bad thing. I certainly want people to be upfront and honest with me....I wouldnt want anyone to downvote my model for being truthful....nor would i want to be upvoted because I ranked someone elses model high....I guess my point is... This is a fun fictional competition...a critique of the model is not a critique of your own personal character, if youre going to criticize, do it constructively or without abrasiveness, accept and consider that taste is subjective and that not everybody is going to like the same things...opinions are not facts.

reply

But his opinions are verging on bullying, and that's not acceptable. It's not his place to tell someone their model sucks, or that they need to change their photo, or that theirs is better,etc.

Allowing this behavior is only going to make the game miserable. I was hoping you'd have better judgment than that.

And I fully believe Smiley was trying to be malicious in his comments. If he wasn't, he would have stopped posting like that the second he realized it was wrong.

It's not competitive spirit. It's just rude. And I think you defending him is even sadder


Frankly, if you both keep this bull up, I'm leaving the game. And taking 2 models with me. You're taking the fun out of this.

Nobody needs his negativity, or your defending his negativity.

reply

sigh~ I was only defending someone having the right to voice their opinion. I dont agree with what he said or how he said it.

reply

Then he needs to change the intent of his opinion. It's misdirected.

reply

I'm keeping my mouth shut from now on 'cause I realize you all cannot take it. 

reply

I mean yea, she should be allowed to say whatever she wants, but because of the format of this game, she's also going to be voting. I saw that she ranked me last already, despite the fact that two players havent even submitted their pics yet.

I think the voting concept is flawed, to be honest. I think the decision on who stays and who goes should be up to the host and judges only. And if the host wants to keep the voting, us players shouldn't be allowed to vote, because that's just asking for so many problems.

But that's like, my opinion.

Oh it's like slang. From...England

reply

To be honest, I agree. It's not really Antm format if the public are voting. I think it's less bias when the judges do it.

And the players really shouldn't be allowed to vote.

reply

You can be honest about how you feel but what they were doing was bordering on bullying. I just wanted to stop it before it got out of hand. Every time I do this game someone always ends up being really mean and antagonistic and I don't want that to happen this time around. I want the game to be dramatic (like with callout order/panel) but not flat out mean-spirited.

TY for your support! Hanne and myself appreciate it! 

I can't accept your backstage picture because it's editorial. Perhaps I wasn't totally clear but we just need a backstage shot from something like a runway show or event.

reply

I don't like your picture for Nadja. She could do a much better job at being cinematic,IMO!

reply

Your fairytale picture is GORGEOUS! Like wow, stunning!!! Definitely my personal fave of the ones so far! Hope Nadja can make a strong comeback! Seems she will

reply

Are we allowed to change our photos before the deadline?

reply

Yes, contestants are allowed to switch their photos only ONCE per each round if they change their mind about the first picture. When you pick your second choice that must be your final picture so be careful but at least there's an option to switch at least once if you choose!

reply

I'm going to be out of the country from next Monday- Thursday.. I already submitted my picture for this week though.. I won't miss the third week deadline will I?

reply

I'll post the third weeks theme after voting starts for week 2. You shouldn't miss it.

reply

Check your PMs leegilley1287!! I have a suggestion for you

reply

Check your PMs, leegilley1287. I think everything should be fine but you should submit your week 3 pictures early just in case!

reply

I would like to change Bianca's picture.

Is there any chance you could get a bigger version of this picture? The one you've posted is quite small. 😢

Is this one bigger? I can't tell because I am on my phone :/.

Yes better quality!

I had a change of heart! Final pic is still Sci-fi genre: http://www.oystermag.com/sites/default/files/images/hanne.jpg

reply

I changed both of my pics too.

reply

aaaarghhhh im having the same problem,im torn between 2 very different photos right now!

reply

So I ended up changing both my photos. I decided to take a bigger risk with a more creative and expressive approach to the shoot. We will see, could very well land me in the bottom this week but at least if I get eliminated it will be for being bold and not boring!

Your backstage pic isn't working for me. Sorry. Please find another link. Thanks.

reply

Mine or Kendall's?


Oh it's like slang. From...England

reply

Kendall's unfortunately.

reply

I have to hand it to you, I didn't know if Kendal Jenner would have a wide enough variety to compete with all these professional models, and even though I wasn't a fan of the first pic, I really like this one.
