Last week on Make Me A Supermodel, Shannon Pallay found herself in the bottom two for the first time all season. The other model up for vote, Ronnie Kroell, is old hat with the elimination ceremony, as this is his fourth time appealing to America's heartstrings.
On the morning of the elimination, Shannon and Ronnie get up and pack. Shannon thinks that she has more of a right to stay in the competition because this is only her first time in the bottom. Downstairs, the girls discover that the boys have turned their photos around to face the wall, which only fuels both of their desires to stay. The battle of the sexes is most certainly heating up.

Casey Skinner nearly made it to the top five on Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel, but unfortunately, he was voted off the show last week. Although the judges liked to criticize him for being too stiff and not confident enough, he really proved to audiences that he has the potential to become a great model, even overcoming a paralyzing fear of snakes to take a great photo.
Casey spoke to BuddyTV today about his time on the show, and during our conversation, I learned that there is more to him than just a pretty face. He's also a musician, involved in several music projects along with his modeling. Below, you will find an audiofile and a complete transcript of the interview.

Last week's Make Me A Supermodel saw the second all-male bottom three in a row. What's going on, men? Casey Skinner, Ben DiChiara and Ronnie Kroell put their fates in the hands of America, and tonight we will see which must immediately end his quest toward becoming a supermodel. Casey has not proven to the judges yet that he has the confidence and poise to become the next Tyson Beckford. Ben has not yet let go of his fish-out-of-water attitude and has continued to have lackluster performances. Ronnie, however, is probably the most talented model of the three, but this far into the competition, even the slightest slip-up could cost him. Who will be going home next?

At present, there are six remaining contestants vying for the top prize on Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel. Out of the six left, four are men, which means that the male contestants are gradually dominating the competition. This, however, doesn't come as a surprise to host Tyson Beckford.
In an interview with OK! Magazine, Beckford admits to having gender bias when it comes to the hopefuls of Make Me A Supermodel.

Frankie Godoy was the eighth contestant to be eliminated from Bravo's new reality show, Make Me A Supermodel. Frankie was often criticized by the judges for having a stiff walk, but there were times when he shined, notably in the seventh episode, "Into the Wild," in which he had to model with both a snake and a duck. He also formed strong friendships with his fellow male models Perry Ullmann and Casey Skinner.
Frankie spoke to BuddyTV today about his performance in his last photo shoot and runway show before being voted off Make Me A Supermodel, about the strained relationship he had with fellow model Holly Kiser and about how he likes his new look, post-haircut. Below you will find an audiofile and a complete transcript of the interview.

Last week on Make Me A Supermodel, Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford put Ben DiChiara, Casey Skinner and Frankie Godoy up for the vote. Ben has been continually disappointing the judges with his lack of self-confidence. Casey, too, faltered in the runway show on last week's Make Me A Supermodel, performing only two instead of the required three poses on the spinning turntable. Frankie also had a bad week last week, performing the worst at the snowy photoshoot at the Windham Mountain Ski Resort. This is the first all-male bottom three, perhaps in an attempt by the producers to even out the boy/girl ratio on the house. But the Bravo promo guy assures us that the battle of the sexes has only just begun!

Although Jacki Hydock put in great efforts to become successful on the catwalk, she still became the most recently axed contestant on Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel. And while she enjoyed her reality TV stint, she says that nothing beats being at home.
"I'm back to a real life," Hydock, who returned to her hometown in Cleveland last Friday, said. "It was so hard not having contact with the world. You can't talk to family, friends. You can't watch TV…you're really in a vacuum."

Jacki Hydock started off the season of Make Me A Supermodel as the one to beat. She immediately wowed everyone with her runway walk and her fierce look. She proved herself to be a very hard worker, persevering in last week's photoshoot with the snake in the water tank in order to get a decent shot. However, the judges decided that she was not living up to the potential that they knew she had and put her up for the vote.
Jacki spoke to BuddyTV today and shared her opinion on why the female competitors are falling behind their male counterparts on Make Me A Supermodel, about her most challenging photo shoot, and she also brought to light the tensions she had been having with fellow model Perry Ullmann. Below, you will find an audiofile and a transcript of the interview.
