Tyra takes homeless chic to a new level on ANTM
Let me back up and explain what happened. The weekly photo shoot for this episode featured the model contestants dressed down in "homeless" clothing (which it really wasn't, at all). Then they shot a scene with girls who were actually homeless dressed in couture clothing.
The idea behind the photo shoot was a great one. And maybe what the camera showed us last night in a one hour episode isn't the whole story. But, in essence the girls who were truly homeless were used as props. Most of the models barely said a word to any of the homeless girls or tried to get to know them and their stories. Meanwhile the models tried to tap into the emotion that someone on the streets might feel, when they just don't have the slightest clue what that would be like. Well, aside from Marvita and the girl from Somalia, Fatima, both who have actually experienced time living in shelters -- Tyra does love to pick a girl with a good sob story!
Watch the models try and be homeless in the clip below.
The whole thing just felt way too phony for my liking.
Anyways what did you think of last night's ANTM episode? Are there any clear favorites emerging? I like Claire. Who do you think should go all the way?
