the way the show ousted angelea and took advantage of her is what really put me off for good. she came to the show as a recent trafficking survivor and they humiliated, manipulated, and criticized her all to the the crown away as punishment for her past. it was disgusting.

[@BrokenToy92]

adding the fact they were setting her up to win even when she wasn't THE best option on this season, I always felt they downplayed Dominique and Allison just to favor Angelea, but tbh her performance throughout the season was not amazing... But pulling that card right after giving her the win was just downright evil.

[@evelyn.embers]

can't believe these ladies did this show TWICE 😞

[@catherineroberts5239]

This show is about perpetuating negative work environments and saying “this is just how things are” rather than trying to break the cycle.

[@danitini14]

They're trying to break the cycle! Break each cycle of contestants that is

[@LadyDragonbane]

That always bothered me about the show even before I truly realised how badly the models were treated.

[@starrlara2599]

Our society has enough violence. Why would ANTM promote this???

[@E.C.Animation]

That would be nice but people aren't nice just because you want them to be. That's not realistic. It's a job. They are not your friends. It's rare a model will even be working with the same crew every time. Everone wants to hurry up and get the job done. If they have to stop to continually give the model direction then time and money is wasted. It's not about being nice or mean, it's about getting the job done. Each person decides if they want to take it personal or not.

[@squidleyskidley]

This is just like my workplace!

[@ladyscorpsmom]

Please keep in mind when Mr. Jay is giving them instruction and you are thinking "what the heck" Mr. Jay is not anyone that should be giving direction to these girls. Go back to the first episode of the first season. Tyra introduced him as HER HAIRDRESSER.

He had been doing that show for years running the photo shoots as a director since the beginning. I think that much experience would make you at least somewhat seasoned. Have some respect.

[@kimsomniac2144]

Hulu added ANTM episodes recently. I was watching season 8, and my 22 year old son came over to do laundry. He laid on the couch, I'm watching the show, I thought he was on his phone. He looks up, and says, "who's the guy?"( It was "Mr. Jay"). Then he said, "man, he is sooo toxic, those poor ladies should run." then went back to his phone.

[@djanime317]

IDK Tyra maybe because she fell down so many times that her body’s probably sore 🙄🙄🙄

[@cristinabrinceanu3668]

I think the vibe of the judging for this episode was definitely towards 'nice', but i think it was because Coco was there, unlike their other weird judges, she was/ is a super big name and from Andre to Tyra to Nigel, they were all likely to want to work with her and them insulting models to their face would not have done any favours with Coco. I think.

[@BloodyMoffin]

I think the same thing and I remember it happened before too, I think it was with kris jenner photoshoot that they were being way less hard than they usually are with the girls

[@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926]

Tyra saying Alex and Bre’s photos weren’t as amazing compared to their original cycles and I agree. But the thing is, their cycle had high fashion themed photoshoots especially Alexandria (which she excels at) compared to the ratchet, low budget photoshoots this season 💩

[@g-burtfred1106]

Low budget, indeed, just like the Pinks hot dog photoshoot.

[@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926]

@@g-burtfred1106 the Snooki one looked tacky af

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Too be fair, the photoshoots theme on Season 17 is so tacky, crappy, and even weird. Pink Hotdogs? Greek Salad? Being Snooki or Nene Leakes? That's you realize this show is losing their quality. Hell's even the photoshoot since Season 19 forwards look like something that you'll see on Teen Magazines not in Vogue or Harper's Bazaar anymore.

[@sunflowerwillow6114]

you are absolutely correct. Mr Jay bringing up the past like that was inappropriate. This is a nationally televised program! Why air out her dirty laundry like that???? You came from such a hard place and you thrived....would have covered all that. She knows what she's been through. As viewer, I don't need to know that.

[@Parisroam]

If I remember correctly, she ended up winning this season but they rescinded after they learned she used to be an escort. They did her so dirty 😭 I almost feel like they wanted to publicly embarrass her

[@sleepy-peepy]

@@Parisroamit’s worse she wasn’t an escort she was trafficked by an abusive boyfriend and they minimized what she experienced by calling it escorting :/

[@Parisroam]

@@sleepy-peepy WOW that’s worse than I thought 😭absolutely disgusting

[@AcuteMusicAddiction]

Everything done to Angelea with the win was crap. But this moment wasn't imo. He brought up where she chose to sleep during the casting call. Showing her drive to be on the show (part of her original story arc) It's not like she lived her life in a NYC bus terminal. She lived in Buffalo.

[@visualvvitchx]

She brought it up herself the first time she auditioned for the show on TV. She did not make it through that time if I remember correctly. Then she came back again and made it and was on her first cycle. Then came the all starts. From my memory, she said she slept at port authority when she went to that first audition. So it was all a callback to her original season and the auditions.

[@MsEwma]

Mr. Jay is so manipulative the way he tears them down to the point of them crying, only to then assume the role of protecter and friend. I hope he is just doing this for TV because that is psycho behavior

[@saradostal3076]

He did this on Canada's Top Model. He has since later said that he did this specifically "for TV" 😢 Which I don't believe as many girls watched this show and saw so many negative examples of his behavior that stuck around and many like me never forgot.

[@afrosamuraiwarrior]

[@OpheliaFantasy]

Girl when Angelea took a moment for herself, I was so hoping for Coco to come by and help her out, but instead the worst person had to come by 😑 Nevermind the worst person would've been Tyra coming out from under a makeup desk or something. Mr Jay is doing what an abuser does: They break them down and then builds them up like he never did anything wrong.

[@octavianicole6958]

The sad part Mr Jay got booted by Tyra in the end .. I know some people would have said karma

[@devontamosley4487]

I've been waiting for this. Lol. I love watching Bre walking out of the panel, not caring to stay to hug Tyra and listen to her campy speeches. Queen Bre. 👑❤💖💜

[@jaydent1320]

Cos she didn't have to in cycle 5 aswll it was just a thanks bre

[@vlo4829]

Allison had a rough shoot, but she had the best shot by far. In her shot, she makes you BELIEVE in her character. You know she's that foul-mouthed girl who picked a fight with another girl and even though she's the one who's out-of-line, she gets the OTHER girl kicked out of the club/bar and taunts her as she's escorted out. That one picture sets the entire scene and backstory! She really sold it.

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

You'd expect the show to actually show pictures of these advertisements of women fighting as the sideshow while Jay says this, but there aren't... What does that tell you?

[@danitini14]

That they were either too cheap to purchase the rights to show them, or were known for what they are and those that owned the rights wanted nothing to do with them. I'm sure there's been campaigns that had aggression or fighting in them (I can picture a model standing facing the camera, hands on hips, teeth bared), but no real campaign is going to want their brand or photographer associated with this nonsense

[@TarynRMartin]

I lost it when Bre yelled, “Call the cops!”

[@nadeapw]

Oh the irony of saying that Alexandria looks like a reality TV star when later on they do a photoshoot where they portray reality TV stars 😒🙄

[@unclesquirrelstache7431]

I love it when Coco Rocha shows up on these shows. Her ability to give different poses and expressions so rapidly is always entertaining.

[@devsie11915]

You know what’s great about The Great British Baking Show? They have a competition, complete with critiques and eliminations, without being nasty or mean or hypercritical of contestants. It IS possible. ANTM just survives on drama.

[@lizanna6390]

I think that the attitude of the judges leads to a really positive attitude where the contestants (mostly) help eachother. In the early seasons, with Mel and Sue presenting, if a contestant broke down they would run over and start swearing and saying brand names so they couldn't use the footage.

[@Black_mocha1]

This cycle def proved that this show was a reality show and not a modeling show. Contestants were literally brought back because of their so called crazy and wild personalities, and not their modeling skills.

[@BorgdroneQueen]

I was not a fan of Dominique in cycle 10 but she really excelled in cycle 17. She was the true all star this cycle. All of her photos were great. Even the episode she got eliminated.

[@therealcjcas7294]

Agreed!!!! Unfair elimination

[@Jalil-wx7rh]

I really get second hand embarrassment watching this cycle of ANTM. Supposed to be "All Stars" but turned out to be nothing but mess. Why couldn't they have kept the same formula as Cycle 15?

[@Parisroam]

“Call the cops” has been living in my head rent free for aeons

[@Morgan_le_they]

They created the pairs angle specifically to put Bianca and Shannon together And Mr. Jay! After his time on this show, he wrote his book that was supposed to be a thinly veiled reveal of what went on behind the scenes, and then he goes out and basically blames Tyra and production, but like, you said what you said sir. Big blame it on the edit vibes.

[@BrokenToy92]

yeah, I saw a few of his interviews and for a while I believed some of it... But honestly he pretty much blames most of the questionable decisions on Tyra saying that she pretty much picked all of the concepts and he had to execute, but tbh he was an instigator all through the show and went with everything he was assigned with so...

[@vanessab2392]

Jessica: They're being pushed into more drama. Me (having being gaslit at work and at school for so long): Oh they are doing it because they want to teach you a lesson about having to work with people, even when you don't like each other. It's teamwork!

[@heathermcfarland6317]

I live in Houston Texas and we have a Kroger on every corner. If it’s not a Kroger, it’s a Walmart or a Target.

[@kmari9819]

I think people may think bringing up the bus thing is a way of giving hope in a “look where you were and look where you are now” kind of way, but I think that just reminds a person of everything there is to lose, and would freak me out.

[@FlabbyAbi]

Totally agree

[@certified_l0ser]

it was so rude to bring up a moment of her in her lowest in life

[@its-MK...]

Love it when it backfires on them! This also made me look what Coco Rocha is up to, and she is awesome. She started a modeling camp & advocates for younger models. Brava.

[@jaydent1320]

Coco has been a mentor on the face so she knows what to say and how she says it

[@Souten66]

“Is there any beef we can use?” Just in case there was a sliver of doubt that they were intentionally paired up

[@hashbrownsendittotheintern2738]

It’s so obvious. Last time they told Angelea to work on her angles and then this shoot they put her on the ground making it extra difficult to move, move, move. Being a snake in the grass is not a good look for anybody. I really hope that someday the producers and main cast of this show look back with sincere regret on how they treated these women over the years. Their greed just shines through …anything for a buck. That is such a sad life to live.

[@JoeCsFlowers]

When Bianca and Shannon didn’t fall for Mister Jay trap he immediately call them fake to keep pushing the drama lol

[@biankadz]

Jessica, I landed here at the begin because of yours photoshoots. I love the way you explain and talk to other photografers and the models. I was not expecting your amazing react to this show. Thanks for been amazing!

[@nauticalnausicaa7790]

"Say that about my cat one more time" LMAO YES Jessica

[@lily_doesstuff]

Angelea and Allison were my faves. Angelea really did her best to stay away from drama this season and handled herself very well, too bad what they did to her. Allison is bad a** 😂 she just doesn't care. Loved Bre too, too bad they decided to eliminate her from the competition so soon. She's an absolutely gorgeous queen, happy she decided to just leave without doing the whole "let's hug goodbye" pantomime. Such a power move

[@rebekahtyler7693]

Mr. J, "This model teaches posing!" Also Mr. J, *yells at girls for being "too posey"

[@profaneangel2556]

Mr j has no right to bring up a model's trauma. It isn't his story. He is not a best friend or close family member in private. He said it so it could illicit a response and be used in the teaser.

[@seraphineclouser762]

I used to work for Kroger and our store sued the company because they weren’t paying their employees around the time they bought out safeway and albertsons

[@ginamarie975]

Omg Jessica-you had me cracking up around 24:00!! So true! Love your channel…🥰

[@annalisemae7627]

I don't feel Mr. J cares about those girls. His approach to Angelea in this episode was one of many examples. That's not the way to cheer someone when her spirit was near the edge of cracking up. You just don't feel the warmth from his words and his facial expression.

[@Khous-yg1ur]

Yes, we have Kroger here in Houston, very popular grocery store here. I love seeing these videos, mostly because I cannot believe some of the things they said to these women and how they treated them. Seeing these episodes today insane, they put these girls through mental hell just for entertainment purposes. While they coukd have just stopped and left, the conracys they were under would have cost them so much money if they quit the show and left.

[@JessBSecret]

Watching your videos gives me a new perspective of the show

[@F.R.A.N.K.I.E]

22:10 - "... and Shannon, if you would have just turned your face a little bit more to camera, you wouldn't have been upstaged by Bianca." - Tyra's further effort to create a wedge between the two and I think she's throwing in that comment as a dig, 'cause she figured the two would've kept up their animosity toward one another, and not sorted themselves out for the shoot.
