對model的印象，一直是在天橋上走走，所以總有個大問號是：模特的選拔標準是什么，那些超模到底有什么過人之處？在看完超模大賽17季，多少有點了解，對主持人tyra更是欣賞的不得了，個人魅力實在無法竟說。
因為是真人秀，當然，對于參賽的人是全程攝像機伺候的，最近幾天一直分秒必爭的趕看C17，之前的其實還沒看過，C17里有好多都是之前的比賽中表現比較突出的。既有女孩兒們之間力爭上游的努力，又有爭先恐后的矛盾，每個人的心理都有小九九，當然，大部分人都非常自信，認為自己就是那個最終的超模。有女孩兒性格熱情奔放，當然也很全能，硬照、拍片、作曲都很出色，也有的女孩兒比較內向收斂，只是默默加油；有的女孩兒社交能力出色，也有的女孩比較個性，直言直語，因而飽受孤立。當然這部綜藝給我最大的領悟就是，什么是fashion，怎么來表達fashion，motel對于攝影師、設計師的要求的領悟以及詮釋決定了這個模特的成功與否，當然這也取決于模特自己對美的領悟，自身對fashion的修養(yǎng)。我記得tyra對一個不能充分表達自己的模特選手說，讓她把所有尖端雜志上的硬照好好學習一番，再來參加這個節(jié)目（C11)，可見模特并不是只靠外表的美麗，更是靠內心的修為。tyra作為超模中僅有兩個的黑珍珠之一，不僅外表時尚漂亮，舉止投足之間更是灑脫熱情、真實有魅力。到后來，我總是關注她的一舉一動，措辭用句，還有對模特表現的點評?？梢哉f她的成功絕對來自于她聰明的頭腦和審時度勢的智慧。

  看17季是因為寢室的姑娘特別喜歡Allison 一直推薦我看 我看了之后也變成Allison的腦殘粉了 還有Laura和Kayla 我也很喜歡 但是其她姑娘就╮(╯_╰)╭ 從第一集開始Camille、Alex、Bianca還有Anglea就各種吵啊 不知道為什么節(jié)目組對Anglea那么偏愛啊 每次都給她鏡頭很多 她和Bianca都好賤吶 Bianca太把自己當回事兒了 端著個架子 而Anglea一直處在極度的自卑和自負之間 一看到男人就恨不得撲上去的樣子 不知道這樣的水準為什么能差點就成為了全明星啊 還Shanon奇怪的價值觀 不能穿內衣拍照 可是她穿的那個比基尼小短褲明明更像內褲啊
  Allison有種勿入凡間的精靈的感覺 帶著無所適從感 沒有人忍心傷害她 而Laura就是可愛風 和每個人關系都很好 總是帶著笑 Kayla這季沒什么亮點 感覺沒有進入角色的樣子 不過還是很喜歡她
  真的不能接受最后冠軍是Lisa 雖然她真的很努力 但是一副大媽樣還瘋瘋癲癲的 一點都不符合高端時尚的氣質好么 尤其是開始的那幾集 熱狗那張硬照超惡心的 像屎一樣 不知道怎么能是最佳硬照的 還有MJ那張 評委難道就不膩歪她的叉腿跳么= = 總之這一季看的時候各種吐槽啊 個人主觀色彩太嚴重了

I went through the whole cycle 17 right after finishing the opening show of Victoria's Secret 2012, which outshone the former in the sense of more professionalism. There was once the commonplace belief that women had to transform into fierce warriors to get in the line with men. And so they virtually did. At the first glance, these modeling competitions seemed to stand against the theory by portraying magnificent illustrations of females, namely but implicitly, by exploiting as much as it was possible from women, both physiologically and mentally. I knew for sure that what spread over in front of me was beauty indeed. Fashion had no limits, if any, then the girls had pushed the boundaries way so far. If only it were to speak, in the name of fashion and beauty, of itself. I saw the brute endeavor to win, which was so easily degraded to undermining one another in every approachable way, whether noble or dismayed. Their beauty was their incredible armors. This beauty of cover stepped in the endless fights from head to toe. And when beauty fought, it hurt, a whole lot more. So women were not getting away with being inevitably bellicose at all. They killed to the top, only to find that the TOP was the Toe Of (a more) Powerful, MEN. That was the ones calling the "shot', and "cut".

這個網站的那個評論~http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/352892664.html

雖然angelea是有錯，allison是眼睛不能見光，Lisa是有明星范~偶現在是覺得這個節(jié)目太多黑幕，不想再看了~黑幕是哪個地方都有的，不過想不到連M國這麼個經常說自由的地方都是這樣。評選的時候明明是4個主持在評，后面居然出了個CG不跟allison簽約的事，那你怎么不直接說要他們自己選就好，搞這么大場show做乜？

        看完十七季，我真的有種沖動想把Angelea拖過來pia個一百遍啊一百遍！您到底是想怎樣??！腦子空表緊，別往里裝水啊我去！
    我對這位姐的印象一直是不錯的，出身貧寒，奮勇向前，我挺喜歡這種不低頭不認輸響當當硬邦邦的性格。她進入三強后我也挺為她加油的。
    但，尼瑪！做事能不能不要這么脫線??！在比賽播出完之前在自己的FACEBOOK上透露自己得了冠軍，被取消比賽資格。。。。您是納尼屬性啊我去！都這節(jié)骨眼了您非得給自己個兒掉鏈子啊我去！您是有多拎不清啊姐！就那么幾十天你都等不了?。《嫉昧斯谲娏税∵€被取消資格啊我去！你是有多迫不及待要把你的豐功偉績昭告天下啊我去！我特么的想一大巴子拍死你啊我去！這種拎不清的事你丫不是第一次做了，去希臘下飛機做演講的時候，明明整個場子都被你震住了完美發(fā)揮的時候尼瑪非得加一句“where is the bathroom”!你丫跟冠軍有仇啊我去非得往外推！
      姐，論拎不清，誰與爭鋒啊有木有！??！

我對于全美超模大賽并不是特別熱衷，但是看過的幾季都讓人印象深刻。
S12里，Alison就表現的很特別，大大的眼睛讓人害怕但又喜歡；S13矮模比賽，模特界身高是個硬指標，這季的出發(fā)點很好，而且確實也很精彩；S16記住的也就是她們在那吵架，從幕后一直吵到評委面前。Alexandria表現的很bitch，反到在S17 All Star這季中收斂了很多。
話說回來，今天看了這季最后一集，雖然很希望Alison贏，但是不得不說Lisa拍的Cover Girl的硬照真的很不錯。唯一讓人費解的就是Angelea為什么離開了？
維基百科上說“Angelea was disqualified from the competition for unspecified reasons.”剛才看到討論組里說“貌似她已經得了冠軍，但是節(jié)目播出前沒忍住在自己的facebook上公布結果了，就被取消資格鳥。 ”要是那樣可真悲催。。。
下面附上Lisa接受采訪時對于獲得冠軍以及Angelea離開的感想：
Exclusive: Lisa D'Amato talks about 'Top Model' win, Angelea Preston
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 12/09/2011

Lisa D'Amato was crowned America's Next Top Model's winner of its first ever all-stars edition during Wednesday night's broadcast of The CW reality competition's seventeenth-season finale.

On Friday, the 30-year-old who previously appeared on Top Model's fifth season, talked to Reality TV World about her America's Next Top Model victory and overall experience -- including what she knows about Angelea Preston's largely unexplained disqualification and how she responded to rumors claiming that she wasn't the original winner, whether she was confident she'd take home the title when standing next to Allison Harvard in the end, and how she would have reacted if told she only finished as the runner-up.

Below is the first portion of our exclusive interview with Lisa. Check back with Reality TV World on Monday for the second half.

Reality TV World: How does it feel to be America's Next Top Model's first All-Star winner?

Lisa D'Amato: It feels like an incredibly peaceful validation that is far and beyond redemption.

Reality TV World: How confident were you before you were announced the winner that you'd be the one to win the title? After hearing everything the judges had to say during the panel critiques, did you think Allison was more likely to win or no?

Lisa D'Amato: Allison and I were so incredibly different that it really just depended on what they wanted. I know that in terms of who was definitely going to use this in the industry and really take all the prizes home and utilize them to their fullest, I knew it would be me. But that wasn't something that is going to be based upon who's going to win or not.

Allison is completely different and she loves painting and art direction, whereas everything that is this branding season, is what I have been married to since I was 12-years-old and have been working towards forever hoping it was me.

Reality TV World: You said in your final words that your confidence actually comes from a very vulnerable place. Could you elaborate a little more on what you meant by that? When you said you have to lift yourself up everyday, are you saying that your cheery, outgoing personality is somewhat of an act because you're really hurting inside because of your past and everything or is that truly the real you and how you act naturally?

Lisa D'Amato: Yeah, it's all from my past. I come from a very physical, mental and sexually abusive childhood, and with that, it feels like weight on your shoulders for years. I got therapy, so it has actually come full circle and when I mean that it comes from a very vulnerable place, that means that I was my own soldier. I was my own motivation everyday.

I had to pick myself up and all the holes that were in my heart over and over and over again, I had to sew them back up. So, my confidence, it comes from a vulnerable place but it is also something that I'm not going to apologize for because I earned it. I have something that is incredibly priceless that no one -- no one in the world can buy and that's thick skin.

Reality TV World: How do you think you would have reacted if you had been announced the runner-up? Allison seemed to take the news really well and just congratulated you without even crying. Do you think you would have handled it that well or would you have been very upset and more disappointed than Allison?

Lisa D'Amato: I am somebody that is definitely -- this isn't my first rodeo, and I know how these things work out. There's a lot of politics involved and I would have been incredibly upset because I wasn't losing to somebody who was incredibly passionate about all the aspects of this, you know?

If I had lost to Angelea or lost to [Laura Kirkpatrick] or someone who really, really wants this in their future and their life forever, it would have been easier. But if Allison won, it definitely would have stung because I know that she would have gone back home to painting and set design and being a photographer and taking pictures in between.

Reality TV World: Why did you originally want to compete on Top Model again and how important was it for you to win the competition going into it?

Lisa D'Amato: I went on America's Next Top Model All Stars because it was a branding season and it was about trying to or executing if you are the quadruple threat, and coming from Cycle 5, I definitely was the quadruple threat, but I didn't take the competition as seriously as I should. In the end, that hurt me.

So, it was kind of like -- it was definitely a second chance and I couldn't be more prepared, more appreciative, more capable of being able to take on being the franchise face -- being the All Star winner. And I was definitely married to the future and being kind of like taming the beast of the wild child a bit, but bringing it out when necessary.

Reality TV World: What do you think you would have done after the show had you not won? Would you have resorted back to what you were doing prior to the show's all-stars edition or would you attempt to pursue different things?

Lisa D'Amato: The All Stars -- everything that the All Stars embrace in terms of branding, that could just be a show to some of the girls, but that's my life. So, 2012 was already going to be a huge break-out year for me in the entertainment industry.

I have been lining up and building my racecars all these years, and being the All Star winner, definitely is the icing on the cake and kind of pushes the envelope a little bit and seals them as well.

Reality TV World: Angelea has announced plans for a "tell-all" press conference tomorrow in which she's vowing to reveal "what really happened" with her disqualification on Top Model. What are your thoughts on that? Do you have any comment?

Lisa D'Amato: Absolutely. Angelea's disqualification, of course there's all these rumors and speculation, and then I've definitely heard a bunch myself. I don't know the exact facts, but this is a competition contestant show, where girls are eliminated each week.

So, it is just the nature of the beast and at the end of it all, I respect her privacy and I wouldn't want to hurt her personally. It's not in my place, but at the end of the day, checkmate.

Reality TV World: Do you feel like the Angelea controversy has stolen some of your spotlight and that all the headlines out there regarding her disqualification has kind of taken away from your victory or denied you the chance to beat her directly?

Lisa D'Amato: All press is good press and I love Angelea. So getting asked questions about her is something that doesn't irritate me at all. I love her and I'm one of her fans.

Reality TV World: Okay good, because I have two more questions on the topic. (Laughs) How and when did you find out about Angelea's disqualification?

Lisa D'Amato: It all -- you know, it's funny, because there was a lot of speculation that was going on in the house earlier, but it's just rumors. At the end of the day, we all kind of resort to our high-school mentality of just talking and rumors and whatever. At the end of the day, something that always resonated in my heart was that I was always the winner.

Reality TV World: The CW has announced the show re-shot some of the scenes in its finale episode, which has led many viewers to believe that Angelea was the original winner and you were only named the champion basically because of her disqualification. Could you comment on whether that was the case? And if not, does it bother you that that's the perception out there of your victory?

Lisa D'Amato: I think that it's great if people just keep talking about it. I don't see that there's any harm in that. In terms of, "Do I feel hurt by it?" Absolutely not.

In my heart of hearts, through the competition and once it got to the end, I always knew that I was the winner. In terms of competition, Allison and I had the most "best pictures" and the most challenge wins. So, in fair competition, Allison and I went toe-to-toe, because that's fair.

Reality TV World: During the finale episode, Allison said she mainly wanted to go on the show for the exposure and had many interests besides just modeling. Many of the girls this season have criticized Allison's passion for modeling and even said that she flat out hated runway. What's your opinion on that? Would you say maybe she didn't really deserve to win because she wasn't as passionate about modeling as the rest of you girls?

Lisa D'Amato: Well, it was definitely difficult to be in a competition with Allison when you genuinely can see that she's not enjoying it.

從后面幾個關于Angelea的問題回答中可以看出，Lisa根本沒把Angelea當做對手。。。
