http://www.cwtv.com/shows/americas-next-top-model13/cast http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/08/13/americas-next-top-model-cycle-13/ 'America's Next Top Model': Let's judge the Cycle 13 contestants by their photos by Michael Slezak Categories: 'America's Next Top Model', Reality TV We’re less than a month away from experiencing Cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model — the two-hour season premiere is slated for Sept. 9 on The CW — and I’m not entirely certain I’m excited. Last spring, I suggested five ways Tyra Banks’ aging reality competish could freshen its formula, yet this season’s big innovation (all 14 contenders will measure 5′7″ or less) seems more of a headlines-grabbing gimmick than a way to raise the ANTM stakes by making sure the eventual winner has a career that goes beyond six months of ribbon-cutting ceremonies at discount stores nationwide. Still, DVR habits die hard, which means I’ll at least tune in to the season premiere before I pass judgment on the entire season. And speaking of passing judgment (fun!), initial photos of all 14 contestants are now online at The CW’s ANTM site, which means we can all channel our inner Tyras and emotionally torment some beauties with fragile egos choose our early favorites. ...more at the ew link Show starts Wednesday September 9.

I believe I read instead of getting another judge to take Paulia's place she will have guest judges-so far I believe Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad will appear.

Oh well, I missed the first episode. Are they going to do a rerun on Fridays as they used to do?

Interesting that they tell the young women to make themselves appear as tall as possible and to pose in such a way as to elongate their bodies, yet they had all the women wearing flats during judging.

I was disappointed in the make overs. Nothing extremely dramatic and no big tears

I feel like they set this elimination up. I knew from the start of the photo shoot who was going home.

Double elimination last night. I thought Rachel (Bambi eyes) took a decent picture last week and was looking forward to seeing her develop but she had no personality and was eliminated after meeting the prez of Wilhemina. When they asked her to sing something and she stood there forever I knew she was a goner. Since Happy Birthday or Star Spangled Banner if a showtune didn't pop into your head! Bianca should have gone home before Courtney. Bianca was in the bottom 2 again and the judges called her out on the same complaining about clothes, hair, etc... that they did last week. Courtney had an off shoot because of the injured foot but give her a chance to learn her lesson like Bianca should have learned after the first week.

I have a feeling ANTM is going to keep Bianca around for the drama factor. Besides, she has one of Tyra's 2 favorite looks - bald/super short or bleachy blond hair.

I haven't even started watching this cycle yet. Too much other stuff on TV. Did they replace Paulina or are they using guest judges?

well, I just can't buy this "petite" model version... I want to see models TALL TALL, they have to make me feel they're so much better than me, they must make me feel there is 'perfection' after all, but this is just not working for me... even Tara still looks too good compared to these girls... I want to see a girl who next to Tara is 100 times better... Mmmm, I wonder if Tara doesn't really want that!! Sure there are some cute ones with all the right make-up but beside Tara they still look like her teenager sisters who quite didn't grow up as tall and beautiful as her... there are many for easy eliminations but soon I should be able to see which one will win..

I am once again disappointed in the girl sent home this week. I think Bianca should have stayed and Ashley sent home. With Tyra taking pictures this week she could see that Bianca was trying to soften her face and had really good body movement. Ashley, besides not liking how she talks about everyone, had to have 5 outfit changes during her shoot and it ends up it was because Tyra couldn't get her to pull off any of the outfits. She just did a terrible job. But of course Tyra kept her because she was the one she noticed during a taping of one of her shows. It can't be shown that her choice was not a good one.

The faces would be nice to have at the top of this thread.. I can't remember their names. The one who won the challenge reminds me of a British model.. years ago I think, Jean Simmons? Or maybe I'm dreaming... I like the red haired.... see, can someone please post the faces up there?? Thanks.

Sporty, you forget that Tyra 'handpicked' Ashley from her studio audience. Tyra won't let her go so quickly.

I liked the red-haired chick too, and I can't remember everyone's names still. I wasn't really fond of her at first, she seemed kinda stand-offish and gave off a vibe that she was better than the others, but she really wants it and she doesn't get sucked into all the drama. I'm sad to see Bianca go. I wish she could have tried harder to soften up a little, but I'm pretty sure that her haircut and her strong facial structure didn't make it easy for her.

Tyra is the only thing I find really off putting about this show. That whole smizing ep was ridiculous. The hosts on the other three versions I have watched are so much better, they keep the focus on the girls. Yeah I will keep watching though.

I caught this last night and I think this "petite" edition is a major joke. First of all, why is it that Tyra stands on a platform a good foot higher than the "stage" where the girls are when they receive their pix. And then, just to ensure no one forgets these are SHORT girls, it appears they've all been instructed to wear flats to elimination. So Tyra, in her heels and on that platform, is twice the height of the girls. What a joke. In addition, while these girls may be able to do beauty shots, they will only EVER be able to beauty shots. Or possibly catalog. They will never be a "top model" nor will they ever walk the runway for a designer who doesn't specialize in petites. Trini, it airs again on Friday nights here, and I've caught the last two eps just by chance. But honestly you are not missing anything. As much as I always thought this show was a joke before, it seems to be even more so. More fake. And these girls are even younger than usual.

I agree with those of you who are saying that a model should be tall, thin and elegant, above it all, literally and figuratively. This has been true for a hundred years, maybe more. That was one of the reason I didn't like Eva Pigment (?) that short girl who won a few seasons ago, She is working in a soap now, not modelling, OF COURSE. I'm done with this season. Bleh.
