8. Binta

I give Binta an A for effort but she still utterly failed. Normally I’d praise a girl for interacting with the setting and her co-stars, but her acting was terrible and she just faded into the background; I spent the first half of her take wondering when the hell she was going to make an entrance. The muted/awful stying was partially to blame, but she really should’ve commanded the set better. She improved in the second half but some of her dance moves were too spastic and offbeat. I was mildly surprised that Binta didn’t land in the bottom 2 for this.

#2 – Binta

Most of what I remembered from this cycle has stood true during these initial rankings, but Binta is the one surprise. She stuck out as overrated for me during my initial watch, but here she is almost grabbing her second first call-out. Binta is back to giving us stoic strength, and doing it flawlessly. Her face looks incredible, and there is conviction in her pose. It is a very strong showing. What stops it topping this list is actually the reason she got her topped the crowd surfing shoot; the fashion. Because her arm is right across the jacket, I just feel wrong putting it ahead of Cody.

#9: Binta’s Boxing Photoshoot

Though the concept wasn’t necessarily so fashion-oriented, this photo really came out looking like a fashion ad to me, and I really commend Binta for producing this shot. The simplicity in her posing with the ball works for the creative, but also keeps it from being the center of focus of the shot, leaving room for the clothes to shine. Her expression is also wonderfully masculine and tough-looking, which works really well for me. She’s posing with a supermodel, and I honestly think she managed to show her up.

3. Eww, Gypsy Sport

Okay, I don’t pretend to know a lot about fashion, but I feel pretty confident in saying that Gypsy Sport is the ugliest brand we’ve ever seen on Top Model. What the hell is this trash they’re calling clothing? When even Kellyanne Conway’s patriotic outfit is less ridiculous than Tatiana’s, we’ve got a problem.

It may look inexpensive, but this stuff ain’t cheap, either. I suspect it’s a brand that exists so that wealthy people can say, “I’m so rich that I can afford to blow money on clothes that are this hideous.” L-O-L @ excess!

Cody wear an unbelievably dowdy hat, not that you’d even notice with your eyes being drawn to Cody’s fringe-covered bust line. The fringe on these outfits looks even worse than the fringe dresses made of human hair!

(Remember: the judges liked this photo.)

Courtney looks like she purchased an oversized tank from a children’s science museum.

In watching the girls commercials, Law takes some to task for serving “back-to-school commercial” rather than high fashion. Uh, what kind of vibe are they expected to offer in these outfits? Eccentric child whose parents let her pick out her own clothing at least is a somewhat believable narrative. Are we supposed to believe Paige is a grown woman dressed like this?

For goodness sakes, she has a ripcord dangling from her butt.

Meanwhile, Marissa is the first person who actually puts the SPORT in Gypsy Sport. She could pass for a tennis player… that has to immediately leave the court to get to her part-time job as a french maid.

Speaking of French, CoryAnne’s top is really reminiscent of a French flag, right? Wait, even more strongly she resembles one of those old clown dolls. (But I suppose all models have doll doppelgängers.) I guess that makes her a French clown. Or would that just be considered a mime? I’m sure she’d be okay with that, since then she wouldn’t have to talk to people she’s too cute to waste her time on.

Not all of the looks are bad. Binta has possibly never looked better… because they draped fringe over her face. Despite doing horribly at the choreography, the panel probably had no choice but to keep Binta this week because they had no way to judge her facial expressions under that.

Then there’s India who the judges didn’t initially think could pull off “Gypsy Sport girl.” Can anyone pull off these looks, though? I’d probably have more confidence in her as a model if they didn’t ultimately find her so believable as a free-spirited hobo.

The only compliment I can pay to Gypsy Sport is that it bills itself as a unisex brand, which is super cool. Here are some men wearing the same items we saw the ANTM ladies wear:

While it’s true that Gypsy Sport looks equally bad on both genders, I’m not sure that’s what unisex clothing should aspire to.

13. Binta

It was a far fall from the top for Binta. It feels like she’s trying to force herself into the shot and the pose is awkward. The most disappointing part is her face; her expression is straight up creepy and she failed to pull off the chin-to-shoulder pose. Binta should’ve gotten more flack for this.

#6 – Binta’s Gypsy Sport Fashion Video

The girls this cycle were surprisingly photogenic, which meant there was very few awful shots. Fortunately for the sake of this list, there were definitely a few people who weren’t so telegenic. Binta never seemed that natural in her videos, and it showed off here. The first and last scenes were cringe-worthy, and it just felt like Binta was trying too hard. When she went for strength it definitely worked better for her. Still, the overall performance is definitely the time I questioned her modelling abilities the most on the cycle.
