We are looking forward to a new episode this evening of one of my favorite shows which is America’s Next Top Model. It airs tonight on the CW at 9PM and tonight’s episode is called “Georgina Chapman.” Standby by as we live blog the episode with all the up-to-the-minute details.
On last week’s episode the girls had to do a PSA – the judges were not pleased with Kyle’s picture and Kelly said she was getting worse each week. The judges agree with her and Kyle was eliminated. If you missed the episode you can read our full and detailed recap here.
On tonight’s show the women compete to open a fashion show – the models go to castings for the opportunity to open a fashion show for one of the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize finalists with fashion’s elite, including Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman in attendance. At a photo shoot, a few of the women struggle while modeling heavy Hello Kitty couture gowns. Kelly Cutrone and Nigel Barker join guest judge Georgina Chapman as well as Tyra Banks on the judges’ panel for elimination
Sadly we had bad news this week – in a shocking move Tyra Banks cleaned house at America’s Next Top Model and fired photographer Nigel Barker, runway coach Miss J, and creative director Mr Jay. I will miss them – what do you think of the firings? Do you think American Idol can survive without them?
We will be live blogging tonight’s episode with all the up-to-the-minute details. So come back at 9PM EST and spend the evening with us. Make sure to refresh often to get the latest updates!
