Top Model Rewind with Alex and Danielle

It's the first *real* episode of Cycle 4 and... MAKEOVERS, BABY. Everyone's excited, except Brandy, who's annoyed to be at the photo shoot and getting her hair cut, and, you know, all the things she's signed up for. Alex and Danielle give their thoughts on her attitude, as well as the models' first "alien"-themed photo shoot. Plus, Danielle has a dream that she was on ANTM.  On Top Model News...

We're back for another season of ANTM. Which model will claw their way to the top? Not Lady Kat, unfortunately, although we enjoyed her presence at casting.  Alex and Danielle share their first impressions of all the models and go on digressions about Delia's catalogues, Tyra's unique psychic powers, and a Reese Witherspoon lookalike.  Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

It's the finale of Cycle 3, and we're sad to see this crazy cast of characters leave. We witness the first Covergirl shoot in ANTM history and watch the world's slowest runway show. Plus, a new contestant joins the show?  Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

If you are Ann, please do not listen to this episode. Alex and Danielle celebrate the elimination of the most perplexing fourth place finisher in the series. Meanwhile, the models are introduced to Japanese street style and the "Babydoll Lolita" look (yikes). Plus, a Harajuku fashion shoot, in which Ann looks like a certain anime character.  Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind 

This week, all the girls are merely in orbit of the ultimate showdown: Eva vs. Ann. Sister against sister. Best friend against best friend. Who do we side with? Plus, Norelle's bewildered by Japanese culture, and Amanda and Yaya compete to see who loves the country the most.  Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

Alex and Danielle have a special guest this week: Abby Walburn, friend of the pod and real-life actress. She's going to help break down the models' truly terrible Campbell's Soup commercials, as well as their deathbed skit with Taye Diggs (who we're sure know from UPN's "Kevin Hill"). Plus, the girls head to Japan to meet the Tokyians (as Norelle would say). Also, please excuse the scratchy audio...

We're sorry for getting this episode out so late to y'all. Alex's lap top broke... again. She and Danielle decompress after a stressful election week with a lively discussion about Yaya apologizing to a hat, a diva-off on the red carpet, and Tyra's mom absolving her daughter of all sins related to not helping Cassie with her bulimia. Plus, Danielle summarizes a recent interview with Amanda. ...

Alex and Danielle recorded this episode before the election, so enjoy a blissfully carefree hour and a half of ANTM analysis! It's go-see week and Toccara has a rough one as she runs into more issues finding clothes that fit her — at the designer's studios and at the photo shoot. We break down the argument between Toccara and the stylist, as well as the disagreement between the judges on whether t...

Yet another iconic episode! Yaya perfectly calls out Ann's lack of respeito when the jock carves an immature (yes, Ann, it was immature) message into Cassie's low-carb brownies. Plus, Cassie admits to Tyra that she throws up after eating in an Intervention style mediation. And, we say goodbye to the hilarious Kelle. You were spoiled and had no intensity in your eyes, but we loved you.  Follow...

This week, Kelle's self confidence hits new depths as she grapples with yet another week of criticism from the judges. But, Toccara scores points with Alex and Danielle for comforting Kelle, while also revealing her poor relationship with her parents. Meanwhile, the models pose in their underwear in a store window and participate in a roller blading, Dooney & Bourke photo shoot. On Top Model N...

There's a game afoot! The Great Crystal Hunt, led by Amanda, winds its way through the model house, embroiling Eva, Jennipher and Ann in big momma drama. Plus, Miss Jay disappoints by not taking Amanda's disability seriously and Cycle 2 winner Yoanna returns for a guest spot that involves the ugliest shoes of the 2000s... Crocs! Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

It's makeover week and most of the models get a confidence boost (too much of one, in Amanda's case) from their new 'dos and (for Norelle) teeth. But, Camille's week is ruined by allegations that she has an eating disorder, which — once again — is left for the girls to deal with rather than a licensed professional. Plus, Alex and Danielle pay way too much attention to the models' hands in a Nivea...

It's the first, full week of modeling for Cycle 3, and we're going deep: We talk about how Kelle's past struggles with racism affect how she acts on the show, we find out that Leah is a Catholic influencer, and we discuss the dirt on Nolé Marin. Plus, we're only slightly disturbed by Ann and Eva's "friendship." Follow us on Instagram: @topmodelrewind

Alex and Danielle have a lot of fun meeting — and judging — the girls of Cycle 3 of America's Next Top Model. They talk about Tiffany's first, tragic appearance and her honest attempt at a dance off with the stank hos who threw beer on her weave. And, they marvel at Eva the Diva's impactful entrance. A star is born! Follow @topmodelrewind on Instagram. 

Alex and Danielle recap the Cycle 2 finale and finally address THE LIST, a new revelation about why Yoanna might have won over Mercedes. Plus, they talk about where the models are now and delve into Shandi's wild post show career as a DJ, Trump model, Lumber Jill and angel of death. Follow @topmodelrewind on Instagram 

Alex and Danielle discuss the second most dramatic moment in the history of Top Model: Shandi's tearful phone call after a drunken mistake in Milan. They discuss what happened to Eric and Shandi afterward, and they (somewhat guiltily) perform a dramatic reading of their emotional conversation. Plus, was Tyra's girl chat with Shanthrax sincere? Jay's book might have some insights... Follow @topmode...

It's a very special episode as we welcome our first guest, ANTM superfan Timothy (@timospears on Instagram)! ...Who also happens to be a huuuuge Camille fan. Unsurprisingly, we spend most of the episode discussing the merits of Miss McDonald and her ~signature walk~ that's totally going to make her famous. Plus, the models go abroad to Milan (ciao!), and we find out what Yoanna really was doing wh...

Breaking Top Model News! Three years after the last season of ANTM and the show is somehow still making headlines. With a special guest (@timospears on Instagram), we discuss the new information revealed on last Friday's Jay's Chat about the winner switcheroo of Cycle 17. And, we dissect the follow up drama instigated by Top Model Lisa D'Amato. Then, we dive into Cycle 2, Episode 7 and the premier...

UPDATE: This episode has been re-uploaded to restore the 8 minutes of lost audio from 33:48-41:45. Enjoy! The models get an acting lesson, and the women end up sharing their emotions like the cult members in "Midsommar." Plus, the models perform in the most 2000s commercial ever, and Yoanna flashes (and impresses) us all! Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

Everyone has a sob story this week as Sara grapples with paternal rejection, April tussles with her biracial identity, Shandi reckons with being unloved and the producers torture Mercedes until she confesses she has lupus. Seriously. Tyra, a personality coach, a psychic, and Janice Dickinson team up to get it out of her. Plus, some girls make a splash and others flounder in an underwater photo sho...

This week, Tyra's traumatized from ending up on too many Worst Dressed lists, so she forces the girls to figure out their personal style. Most of them fail. Plus, Alex has something in common with Mercedes, and we get uncomfy when the show decides to darken Xiomara's skin. But, she pulls out a killer photo regardless.  Follow us on Instagram @topmodelrewind

Alex and Danielle discuss some fresh Top Model drama that happened this weekend before delving into an equally wild episode: Sweet Heather is feeling lonely in the house, but Alex, Danielle (and the other models) show no mercy. The models get makeovers, and Catie cries because her hair's too short. Then cries again when she has to hang from her harness during her photoshoot. And then cries again w...

Alex and Danielle start to realize that maybe Camille isn't the villain of the season. Plus, Danielle makes a shocking discovery about those boobs Bethany can't shut up about, and your hosts discuss Miss Jay's eclectic fashion taste.  Follow us on Instagram: @topmodelrewind 

The models' personalities are already coming to play, even in the first episode of Cycle 2. Shandi's a walking "before" picture, Bethany's only talent is her boobs, and so on and so on. Alex and Danielle evaluate each new model, discuss whether new judge (and noted fashion photographer) Nigel is creepy or not, and try to find out which male models' "private party" is showing.  Find the models...

Alex and Danielle go off the rails a bit when they realize that not much happens during a Top Model finale. We hope you like hearing about our terrible, high school English teacher and which one of our moms would make the best aunt. But, seriously, we do talk about Shannon's, Elyse's and Adrianne's careers post show. Plus, Elyse teaches us some questionable "science" about what makes a top model....
