i've been trying to post this a MILLION TIMES. i'm at wits end. i'm hoping blurring the Lee Jeans pics will help avoid the post be flagged by reddit. as a reminder, the picture order is up left to down right, worst to best.
compared to C2, C3's photos are very disappointing. this is exactly when ANTM started to morph into the gimmicky, narrative-heavy show it later became, and you can tell by the portfolios and how far some models got compared to others who didn't perform so well. though this cycle's Top 3 is one of the strongest in the show's history, I'm really not impressed with the elimination order. I think if Nicole had made Top 4 it could rival C2's (but she might still have been the weakest link in that line-up). but, in general, the models this cycle were weaker than C2's imo. a lot of filler. here's my model ranking based on their portfolios:
