Model CALLED OUT For INSULTING Judge On ANTM

[@JessicaKobeissi]

QUESTION!! Does anyone know how long Cassandra was holding the ice cream that gave her frostbite during the "nude candy coated" photoshoot during Cycle 8?

[@cristopherCVP]

It was probably for a really long time, in the bloopers episode they show that she even had to go to the hospital, in one live one of the contestants talked about how the producers didn't want to take her to the hospital and it was actually Jael who started this type of manifestation with the contestants being quiet until they finally take Cassandra to the hospital

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

She held the ice cream through the entire photoshoot where she said it went numb, so I'm guessing each session is 20-30 minutes.

[@shockwave.pulsar]

I think I remember hearing somewhere that it was long enough to blister which - according to online search results- can happen in less than 30 minutes when dealing with freezing temperatures or less time if it's even colder. I've gotten frostbite from liquid nitrogen on a small part of my hand and it was painful/ left a scar and it happened immediately since liquid nitrogen is extremely cold.

Model: I can’t swim so I’m not very comfortable with this shoot Nigel: Tyra did a photo shoot for InStyle Madagascar where they pushed her off a ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean and we shot underwater for 3 consecutive days. She couldn’t swim either; it’s not about knowing how to swim and being comfortable. It’s about making the client and the photographer think you can swim and are comfortable!

[@rilleygriffin]

I love how Jessica critiques the photography as much or more than the modelling. As a young girl growing up watching this show I didn’t realize how much light and angles mattered, I don’t think many people did back then. It gave this illusion that the models had more control than they did.

[@KaoticDude]

Sick of ANTM and their mixed messages. They love to blame the models when they can't do something and saying you need to tell us. If they speak up, they become a problem or if they don't do the photoshoot because of a fear or unable to do it they'll get eliminated. Let's see Catie & Chris afraid of heights, Eva & Robin afraid of spiders, Sundai couldn't swim, Laura dyslexic, Casey & Amanda who both have eye conditions, Robin, Shannon, & Anna didn't want to be nude, CariDee nearly freezing to death, Keenyah sexually harassed, Jaeda working with a racist model, etc. They had to do the shoot/challenge or else. ANTM makes it seem if you say no or speak up you're modeling career is over.

[@Super_Grover_]

I would add Isis to the list. As a transgender woman, Isis clearly expressed her extreme discomfort with wearing bikini bottoms (and that she had never worn them before). They made her wear them even though their bodies were under water, out of frame, and wouldn’t be visible in the photos! There is absolutely no reason why Isis couldn’t wear shorts or something she felt comfortable wearing. Like the OP said, production exploits contestants’ fears, traumas, mental health, bodies, identities, spiritual beliefs, boundaries, morals, sexualities, relationships, experiences, etc. (the list is endless) by manufacturing these uncomfortable situations and photo shoots to amp up the drama and conflict.

[@JazDickinson1]

The one that didn't cut her hair

[@kimberleyhunter6815]

Heather Kuzmich, who was open about having Asperger’s Syndrome, couldn’t deliver her lines in that Cover Girl commercial the girls in that season did. Jay helped her, but I think one of the reasons she was sent home was because Tyra and the rest of the panel were uncomfortable with the display of favouritism. Tyra also gave some silly speech about how maybe people on the Autism Spectrum shouldn’t compete in ANTM. But there are many people on the Spectrum who are not diagnosed or who are but don’t tell anyone. I bet there are past contestants on this show that either won or came closer than Heather did to winning that are on the Autistic Spectrum.

Isis said in an interview that they had a cameraman underwater, and she felt really insecure because she was wearing a bikini bottom and at that time she didn't have surgery. It made her feel really bad and it had an impact in her photoshoot. That wasn't the first time they did that to her, since they also made her pose in a swimsuit photoshoot a few episodes early. It reminds me of Cycle one and all the nude photoshoots when two of the girls were religious and didn't want to show their bodies. This show production was truly controversial (to not say disgusting).

I'm a chem major, I know nothing about law, but the lawyer's paralegal left, and he asked around and I wasn't working so I thought, yes, I'd so do it. The paralegal offered to train me, and the lawyer declined, then he got upset that I didn't know how to run a law office 2 weeks in. Shocking right? By the 4th week, he left on a week's trip, and there I was, alone, in a law office. Now, if you'd left me in a chem lab, I'd know what to do.

Designer: calls model unprofessional for adding movement and working the garment. Also Designer: her walk is a mix of truck driver and stripper…. 🤔🤔🤔 (Side note: cue side by side of Tyra adding flair in her runway shows…)

[@djanime317]

I was WAIIIIITING for you to react to this episode 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Thrivinginthespotlight]

Also, Jeremy Scott saying it's a fashion show not a strip show and professional models don't act like Samantha did. How laughable is that, it has to be engineered drama because have you seen a swim suit fashion show? Have you seen an actual Runway show in general? Models are asked to wear sheer tops and dresses sometimes topless with just a thong on. His commentary cant possibly be authentic.

[@catinthechat01]

As a bonus to your recreation videos, it would be fascinating to get an ex-contestant to do a commentary reel with you. Their reaction to your shoot juxtaposed with what they really experienced at the time would be incredible. Being able to show how technical choices impacted their final photo would be very interesting. You could add a segment at the end (if they're willing) asking what was really their "best" shot. If not, was there another pose they thought was better (and got encouraging feedback on during the shoot)? It's probably next to impossible to contact an ex-contestant, but I can see them potentially being interested in your project because it has nothing to do with gossip or tea. It would only be their experience with this specific shoot and not be obligated to extrapolate, but would be welcome to add something or discuss anything deeper.

She actually already did it with Keenyah from season 4

[@kathleenuclear]

this was one of my favorite ANTM shoots to date but I definitely think you could do it better! also your eyes with the slight shimmer on the lids in this video looks SO cute!

[@derp_dragons]

That photoshoot was fun to watch for once - the girls seemed to enjoy themselves and they weren't humiliated for a change.

[@mismismism]

Gotta love when the judges act like entitled babies calling these people out. I didn't see the full runway but that clip they showed, she was in a blindfold and seemed to accidentally shift the dress up when she put her hand on her hip, she was wearing tights and couldn't see so she probably didn't even know it happened. They could have explained what she did wrong instead of acting like she tore off her clothes and banged an audience member on the runway. He was SO mad that an inexperienced model made a mistake.

[@Rosequartz033]

That’s exactly the problem. They aren’t there to help, but to make drama. If they really cared they would have just explained what she did wrong and how to correct that.

[@sarahwithstars]

The makeup for this shoot was incredible Did Mr J basically ask the model to correct her droopy eye?

[@yennefer440]

I was excited to see the photos, but they ended up looking like a worse version of that scene in The Descent

[@ifeelpretty5790]

My cousin once walked in a fashion show for Jeremy Scott, I’ll have to ask him next time I see him for any JS tea 😊

[@quinintheclouds]

God I hate that goodbye from Tyra. Telling a TRANS PERSON (especially who's still in the process of transitioning) that she's LOST HERSELF? Can you imagine how that'd feel, being told your personality is gone, you're not the same, you've lost the very things that make you you? After fighting for so long to have your identity heard and respected, after all you've been through to be sure who you are, someone tells you you can no longer pursue your dream and that the person you are is gone. And all of this after being forced to wear a bikini for an eye-up shoot. She got eliminated for looking uncomfortable and the panel immediately linked it to the bikini and her being trans. They knew what they were doing. (I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did this because she's "The Trans Girl(tm)" and they needed an excuse to put her "role" in the spotlight to remind the audience of that for ratings. That, or they wanted a reason to eliminate her.) Being trans is hard enough as it is. The fear of losing who you were holds a lot of trans people back from coming out or getting treatment (eg hormone replacement therapy, puberty blockers, surgery, mental healthcare, etc.). It's a life changing decision to come out. We're often terrified that people won't see us as ourselves anymore, that everything's going to change and there's nothing to hold onto, not even a sense of self. The tonedeafness on this show isn't a shock anymore, but oof that hit me. And Tyra tossing identities out there the way she did to seem supportive right after eliminating the only trans girl because of her eyes, and telling her she doesn't understand herself or have a self.... it breaks my heart. Identity is such a personal thing, I'm disgusted by how REPEATEDLY Tyra tries to strip the girls of that ownership.

[@MaryseBarbie]

Lmao!!!!! “Relax, It’s just for Americas Next top model! No one’s going to watch this!!” 😂 He really was being over dramatic!

[@yahiaouifedi6263]

I remember watching this cycle, And I can tell you it's the Best Cycle ANTM to ever exist, loved each episode, and the models where cool with each others, Samantha, Isis, Marjorie, Clark, Analaigh, McKey....All are great!

[@LittleKroh]

I feel bad for Isis. This season came out in 2008, so Trans rights weren't as openly talked about is it is today. She was the shows first openly Trans contestant, having to deal with being Pre-op in a house full of women, being away from home, constantly filmed and put into uncomfortable situation. I can only imagine the stress and dysmorphia.

[@osmos2017]

“ Like the OP said, production exploits contestants’ fears, traumas, mental health, bodies, identities, spiritual beliefs, boundaries, morals, sexualities, relationships, experiences, etc. (the list is endless) by manufacturing these uncomfortable situations and photo shoots to amp up the drama and conflict.”

[@HaintblueRee]

These eye looks are everything! I really love Isis’s makeup…I might try that look Christmas

[@missbettybouncers7119]

Lmfao 😂 girl you had me dead af with that Nigel 💀 🤣

[@dalestark9505]

i love these videos! Jessica is everything.

[@OVRQT]

Can I just say, your eye shadow is everything in this video. I had a difficult time focusing on the models!

[@littlejoh713]

I would looooove seeing more of photos like this, I love the concept. Please Jessica, jump on it! :D Or should I say, into it.

[@patriciaphillips1449]

"I wish I could sleep like that but I have cats." I have never felt a statement so strongly. I'm awake watching this because my cats woke me early. 🤣

[@ktangard]

From other comments, it sounds like this was produced drama but she was wearing thick tights/leggings for goodness sake - she wasn't flashing her underwear!

[@xcelestialx]

i would LOVE to see you recreate any of the ANTM photoshoots 😱

[@Pinup_Panda]

I've been watching your videos for the past few days. I'm subbing now because you keep making comments about BoTW and ToTK.

[@Rekowcski]

This is one of the best ANTM shoots, you should totally do it!

[@oju1haulcy424]

When Tyra shot the final 5 girls in cycle 11, that photoshoot was amazing! I hope Jessica recap that photoshoot ❤

[@bernardmungin5940]

I remember seeing this episode and thought Nigel was the problem. He didn’t take any good pictures. I blame him more than the models.

[@kameryn2918]

Okay Sam was blindfolded so I don’t think she realized where her dress fell on her body and didn’t mean to pull it up. I think she just meant to put her hands on her hips and just dragged them too much.

[@Rhiannon.Moonchild]

What she did didn't even look bad though?! So confusing lol

[@caitlinmyriah7657]

I’ll never regret not trying to go on this show when I was a teen!! Cause I most definitely would have been kicked off cause I won’t put up with that back and forth BS and the taking down to ppl. Dial them back a few notches. Thinking they’re all high and mighty. 😒

[@raiu]

Designers really take themselves way too seriously. I'm impressed by the models' abilities to not laugh in their self-important faces. 😂

[@fluisajabba9781]

Clark's photo looks like an elegant butterfly. As far as the runway challenge, it was somewhat bizarre, specifically the VERY end of the challenge, where the Jays do something a bit drastic. Different note, the first photoshoot of Cycle 3, where they claim Ann was so difficult, was something else.
