Last night on America's Next Top Model, the remaining five contestants visited the Hobbiton on with actress Sarah McLeod and posed for a photo shoot with leading judge Tyra Banks. Or at least that's what I think happened. Technically, I still haven't seen this episode, since this post was written yesterday around 2:44PM.
But while I'm off partying at a lesbian wedding, I figured I'd try my best to rank the pictures without having seen any of the action on set. With that out of the way, you won't have to wait until next week to post your thoughts. And you'll be able to disagree with me. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.

To view this week's rankings, follow the JUMP:
1. KRISTA (LW – 1): I don't know when I developed such a boner for Krista. In fact, I'm pretty sure there was a point when I hated Krista as a model. Though the earlier shots in her portfolio did absolutely nothing for me, she's been turning it out in the past couple of weeks. I'm loving this picture!
2. ALEXANDRA (LW – 3): Frankly, this was the first picture of the bunch to really catch my eye. I'm having a hard time deciding whether the judges will love or hate this shot, and it'd probably help to know what Tyra was striving for with this shoot. Whatever the case may be, Alexandra is looking beautiful in this shot. Not to mention that "lace" the shadows are making adds an interesting visual element…
3. JESSICA (LW – 4): It's too bad Twiggy isn't a judge on the show anymore, because she would eat this shit up like an all-you-can-eat buffet. There's a very tender innocence to this photo, almost as if Jessica's praying that she'll be chosen as the winner of America's Next Top Model.
4. ANGELEA (LW – 5): Although I briefly considered placing Angelea at the bottom of the group, another look at this photo changed my mind. There's a softness here that we don't usually see with her, like she's channeling a serene Greek goddess. Will the judges love it or hate it? I'm leaning towards love, but I think it'll depend on how she performs on set.
5. RAINA (LW – 2): This photo may be "edgy" and "interesting", but it has the unfortunate side effect of making me want to hide under my bed and cry. Raina looks truly monstrous in this shot, and I can only assume that Tyra chose this shot because it's so scary.
i watched the show and disagreed with the judges on this call.
firstly raina should have had alexandra’s makeup and dress and shoot – tyra mentioned she wanted to capture raina’s wolf eyes but whats the point of covering everything up.
raina was still great though in spite of the white clay on her head, krista was also fantastic.
this competition is really all about those two for me
I agree with what you said about Krista. I hated her at first but she’s grown on me. Raina is still my favorite but Krista has become a close second. I think the judges made the wrong choice. Angelea’s pic and entire shoot was terrible, her attitude is getting annoying. But I knew who was going home all along. I can’t wait to see the finale.
