AimzsterMost Annoying Top Models Ever
May 20th 2008 01:44
When I started writing for this Reality TV blog, I was hoping to do a weekly recap of Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4. But watching this latest bunch of model wannabes has been so excruciatingly painful that if someone were to ask me to choose between recapping the girls’ antics for the blog or sitting in a doctor’s chair, having a blood test, I would choose the latter. I’ve seen a lot of Top Model series – all of America’s, Australia’s, Canada’s, Britain’s and even Philippines’ so I don’t say this lightly when I say that Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 has the most annoying bunch of girls – EVER! I can count on more than one hand how many girls should have been eliminated in the first round and, to this day, I still can’t find a favourite. After four episodes, most of the boring girls have been culled, leaving us with 2 other boring girls, a bitch, a cuckoo, a crier, a whinger and a trio of bullies. So *sigh* here’s a recap of each girl since Episode 2 :
SAMANTHA
These past few episodes saw Samantha pashing Leiden, throwing a cake across the room, joining in the bullying of Alamela while donning heart-shaped sunglasses all in an attempt to prove to the viewers that she is not boring after all – but just has that pack mentality Charlotte Dawson accused most of the girls of having. The girl can walk down Oxford Street naked with pierced, neon-light painted nipples (if there is such a thing) for all I care, but Samantha will always be boring to me – or quickly becoming a try-hard. Good photos, although her attempt to straddle that pole while chucking, as Charlotte or Alex Perry said, ‘an epileptic fit’ still gives me nightmares.
ALYCE
Alyce loses some of Demelza’s trust when she not only buys the same pair of shoes Demelza wanted (but in a different colour, mind you), gets Demelza to pay almost half because she has no money, but also steals Demelza’s limelight when she shows her shoes off first and remains clueless when Demelza stomps off. But you know what? I didn’t see what the big deal was. This ‘show and tell’ only reminded me of those frivolous fights girls used to have in kindergarten. Having said that, Alyce annoys me for some reason. And I love how she, like, implored her boyfriend, to, like, give her money, like $300, because, like, she has none.
REBECCA
The first episode showed Rebecca as the ringleader of the Bitchketeers but she has taken a backseat to Demelza these last few episodes, appearing almost…likeable. Until she joined in on the bullying by telling Alamela she overheard Alex Perry saying Alamela was too thin for the industry, this comment eventually prompting Alamela to break down. Without makeup, Rebecca is someone you would probably walk past on the street without a second glance, and only because her hair looks so darn unruly and frizzy. But with a short dress, heels, hair up, make-up done, she can almost pass for Megan Gale. From a distance. A very far distance – when you’re short-sighted.
LEIDEN
This girl is increasingly getting on my nerves that I want to throw something at the TV everytime she appears with that hang-dog face of hers. At first, she annoyed me with her no-care, rebellious attitude. After losing a challenge where the losers had to clean the house, she refused, adding, “I don’t care if I get eliminated but I’m not cleaning”. Then her exaggerated fit when she found out she would have to pose with her greatest fear, Edward Scissorhands. WTF?!? I can understand being afraid of Freddie Krueger (that green and red sweater is just too frightening), or even Orlando Bloom’s acting but that sweet tragic figure who really only wanted to be loved and had to live on his own in a lonely draughty old house because no one would accept him? *sniff* If that wasn’t enough to get my blood boiling, she spent the last two eliminations in tears because she ‘doesn’t want to be here as much as the other girls’. What amazes me is that the judges have opted for her to remain despite the damngarnit attitude. If that was Tyra Banks, she would have bitch-slapped the girl all the way home.
ALEXANDRA
Alexandra abandoned her bitchy self for a while and exposed us her to whingeing side when she gets her new look, a look that happens to be her look a year ago. After giving Jonathan a tight-lipped assurance that it was ‘okay’, she whinged and cried to every girl and her dog, as well as her boyfriend who indignantly said over the phone, “What? I know more than those f*ckers” or something along those lines (a misguided loyal gesture Alexandra rewarded by pashing another guy at a club). The next day, she continued her lamentations that her hair ‘needs to move on!’ to Jonathan who promptly told her to get over it.
ALAMELA
No one quite gets you, do they, Alamela? I don’t get you either and sometimes I wish I could put my hands through the screen and shake you out of your airy-fairyness. But you had to feel sorry for the girl when she was the centre of the bullying by the other girls, particularly the “Dapto Dogs” – Demelza, Alyce and Rebecca – just to get -her to react. And as much as I found it weird when she started crying and began to defend herself in that high-pitched, singsong voice (similar to the one Brittany Murphy’s character donned in ‘Don’t Say A Word’), I smirked along with her as the other girls got blasted by the judges for picking on the most passive person in the house.
DEMELZA
Gorgeous face, gorgeous photos, most improved runway walk. But her Mean Girls side was shown when she threw a water bomb at Alamela, doused her with water, gleefully told her she wore her dress for a re-shoot – all in an attempt to get a reaction so Demelza can ‘better understand’ the other girl. And became indignant when Alamela finally fought back. From the beginning, I thought Demelza would be this season’s winner. Not because she was my favourite but I thought she had that Top Model look. But reviewing my past Top Model predictions, this can only mean that Demelza will only be a runner-up at best. And due to the bullying controversy, many viewers on forums have expressed that they won’t support Demelza if she ends up in the final two. Karma, I tell you…
CARIS
Caris is the Girl Who Cries At The Drop Of A Hat, and has that scared rabbit look to boot. She cried during her transformation because they reverted her hair to her childhood colour. Again, WTF?? A tragic childhood incident involving her auburn hair? I don’t get it. She cried when Ian Thorpe expressed his disappointment that her fitness level wasn’t up to scratch, she cried after regretting her decision to face away from the wall during a harness shoot. The girl, quite simply, bores me to tears.
JAMIE
Here’s another that may send me to an early death out of boredom. ‘Which one’s Jaime?’ you ask? Well, it takes me about half an hour to figure that Jaime’s that washed out blonde chick with the bad skin and bad tan. She has no remarkable features, no remarkable photos, nothing remarkable to say and quite frankly, I don’t quite understand why she’s still there. Oh wait, yes I do. Because as bad, boring and bland Jaime is, there have been worse, more boring and blander girls – which goes to show the level of ‘Top Model’ this current cycle has.
SAMANTHA
These past few episodes saw Samantha pashing Leiden, throwing a cake across the room, joining in the bullying of Alamela while donning heart-shaped sunglasses all in an attempt to prove to the viewers that she is not boring after all – but just has that pack mentality Charlotte Dawson accused most of the girls of having.
