Tonight’s episode of America’s Next Top Model is all about putting your best face forward in front of a film crew:
First, the remaining 7 models will be participating in an Insider interview challenge with 90210 star Jessica Lowndes.
Then they’ll each try to remember their lines and look their best in a Covergirl commercial, which leads one model to have a major meltdown!
And, last but certainly not least, tonight’s guest judge will be none other than Kim Kardashian, known for her sense of style and reality star power. Kim’s no stranger to being in front of the camera, so I can’t wait to see what advice she gives the girls about how to keep their cool and look their best with the cameras rolling.
Check out what Kim had to tell People about her guest judging experience with one of her “idols,” Tyra Banks.
How did you get involved with Top Model?
They called and asked me to be a part of it and I totally look up to Tyra so I was so excited. I really admire her business sense and who she is. I get along with her really well. I was so honored when she asked me to do it.
Are you a fan of the show?
I’m such a huge fan, always was. I watched it from the start. It teaches girls what it really takes to be a model. Sometimes people think it’s the easiest job in the world to just pose and all you’re doing is taking pictures, but that’s just a small side to it. There’s the business side of things and of course, it’s really competitive and it’s got a real excitement factor.
What did the girls have to do for their challenge?
They had to do a commercial and talk about products. I had to judge them on their presentation, what they said, how they looked, and how well they sold the product. They realized it’s not as easy as it looks. Some just froze in front of the camera. It was about really knowing how to be a spokesperson instead of just taking pictures for a campaign.
What was the toughest part?
It was really tough telling these girls what they were doing wrong and right, and picking the strongest of the girls was hard. I’ve worked in the field before, done shoots and commercials and ad campaigns, so I get it. But I really thought more than any cast I’ve seen, that they all had a really good head on their shoulders. Everyone took it as constructive criticism and that’s tough because it can really hurt someone’s feelings.
What was the best part of the filming?
Being around Tyra and Miss Jay and Nigel — they have these great personalities and this awesome collaboration going on because they’ve been doing it for years. It was really cool that they trusted me to come into their circle and give my different opinion. I think the girls were excited and they had definitely watched my show. Even though Tyra and I may have had differing opinions, I learned a lot from what she had to say which was awesome for me.
Tune in tonight at 8 PM on the CW to see Kim, Tyra, and Jessica put the aspiring Top Models to the test!
