Thoughts on New Zealand's NTM C3
Random? Yes I know but this was a request for someone, aka they wouldn't shut the fuck up about how horrible this cycle is, aka Sherry (love you). So you may wonder, why do Sherry (and I) hate this cycle? It's the successor to NZNTM C2, which if you guys have seen antmrankingskd's review on it, you know it's a pretty high quality cycle all things considered. It produced 2 really good runner ups, a dramatic icon that is Dakota and Danielle, one of the most successful Maoi models and generally one of the most successful from NTM, only recently retiring.
So why the long rant, why explain the cycle in detail and why even do this? Because friends, this is what I considered the biggest downgrade in any show really. We went from the high quality to decent cast of the second cycle (I haven't seen the first yet but it seems eeh) to a bad cast and really shitty cheap photoshoots and let's not ignore the favoritism for the winner and the multiple models robbed for the likes of Izzy, Brigette, and Amber.
Oh yeah, Brigette our winner. I expected a lot of her considering how much the judges loved her and RBG eats her shit up. Seriously, before looking at the cycle, I was spoiled by the winner so I wondered "Hey, she could live up to Dani could she?". She quit after the show and hasn't been seen since 2010, yeahh, it's those cycles where the winners are pushed to hell and then never purse modeling because their heart wasn't in it.
My biggest problem with Brigette was her face. Clearly, she's a beautiful girl as you can tell here. But 1) she's resting on her pretty and 2) she looks drugged. In every one of her shots, there's no energy, she looks tired and sick and yet the judges loved it and ate that shit up like it was dinner for days. In every fucking shot, she looks so dead and tired which is a shame since she was so beautiful in motion.
Actually, that's my problem with this cast, they were just all weak, especially my winner pick, I never was obsessed with her, she was just my last resort since everyone else sucked
- Bianca is my personal choice even if she wasn't the best, she was very over the top at times and looked off in photos but at least she was giving changes and chances in set besides being pretty and boring
- Rosanagh AAAAH HER FACE IS JUST MAGIC BUT SHE WAS SO MEDROICE. In every shot, she's beautiful but just boring. I wanted her to do good but she never was great but just fine.
- AJ was really robbed in my opinion. She had such a crappy attitude but she was just amazing in photograph. I really would've loved to seen her at final 4.
- Amber started off amazing but then she just went down and down. She was one of the worst of the cycle and it was painful to watch her go by week by week.
- Aroha's elimination was just cruel, they eliminated her because she was wearing PJs to the plane as a challenge that they never told them? What BS. She was a decent model and far better than most of the final 7, fucking bullshit
Now we do my little awards!
Like I said before, she should've won and I'm still pissed that the judges just kept her as a afterthought when she clearly wanted it over Blahgette
This shot is just hot and Bianca just looks like a total badass here. However, like C3 of AsNTM, it was hard to choose a top photo since I didn't care about most of them.
Funny how the worst model of the group is still modeling, fun fact but as a model in the show, she sucked frankly. The fact that she made final 4 is a joke. She was the Katarina of the cycle, stiff and uncomfortable to look at
Really disappointing cycle after the awesomeness of C2, I expected better from New Zealand and the fact that the show got canned after this says something, sad shit man. At least Dani carried them well but Blahgette and Crisonope did not impress in general
