The judges are being way too kind.


I miss having someone giving constructive criticism. Hell, any kind of criticism would be nice at this point. Not everyone is sugary great awesome-sauce.

I agree. All of them can't have great pictures. The ones they rave about look kinda bad to me. These judges aren't that great

reply

Agree. A lot of these photos have been just average to me, you would think people in the industry would have even higher expectations.

In terms of giving the criticism without coming across abrasive, I think the judges doing a fine job being "kind". But my issue with the judges is that in this early stage of the competition, they seem to have their favorites already and it's so obvious they only criticize those who are on the bottom. No matter what some girls do, they automatically get bravo. Maybe it's the editing to make sense the boot and some criticism was edited out, idw. Just have to wait and see if the judges are really "kind" after the dead weight are all elimiated.

AGREED!! I was dying when NO ONE said anything about Coriannes straight as a board arm. Looked so stiff, Tyra would've called that out right away and let her know even a slight bend would've made the picture so much better. I was hoping the whole 'my mom is a supermodel' thing wouldn't cause favouritism but obviously it has.

I wouldn't exactly call placing her in the bottom 2 the first week favoritism. I think the new panel is fine, I mean they're still finding their groove, I think people are just starting to get use to a completely new panel because even with panel changes in the past you still had Tyra every season, Nigel almost every cycle, Miss J etc.

I agree. Some of those pics were awful.

i'm still wondering how courtney got first call out in the nude photo shoot. that picture was awful, like bottom two worthy. there were SO MANY better photos in that shoot.

While I do miss jay Alexander but I am glad Kelly cutrone is gone since I couldn't stand her.

That's why I loved having Janice as a judge. She held nothing back even if she was being a bitch.

reply

She was the worst in the BEST way. I remember the whole Catie/Ixomara (?) episode and how Ixo helped Catie get over her fear of heights and got a bad picture bc Mr Jay was too busy comforting Catie to actually DIRECT Ixo. Then Catie freaking threw her under the bus at panel!! And Ixo was trying to explain herself (and rightfully so!!) and Janice was just all 'UGH BLAH BLAH I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID DRAMA!!' LOLOL
