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.

It's down to only eight models on Make Me A Supermodel, five males and three females. This makes sense, considering that Bravo's primary viewing audience is largely made up of women and gay men, and they are the ones responsible for deciding who goes and who stays on the show. The three models who were put up for the vote are Ben DiChiara, Jacki Hydock and golden boy Perry Ullmann, the latter of whom unexpectedly found himself at the bottom because the judges were fed up with his arrogant attitude and wanted to serve him up a slice of humble pie. The judges have not been impressed with Ben's or Jacki's unexceptional performances either, but it was left in the hands of Bravo viewers to decide who gets axed tonight. Will the men continue to dominate over the women? Or will the gender balance on Make Me A Supermodel shift towards equilibrium?

Stephanie Bulger was the resident artist in this season's batch of hopefuls on Make Me A Supermodel. She excelled in the fourth episode of the season in which her artistic eye propelled her past the her competitors and earned her high praise from the judges and photographers. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to translate her passion for art into a passion for acting, and was eliminated after performing poorly in the acting challenge.
Stephanie spoke to BuddyTV today about her time on Make Me A Supermodel, about the various challenges she performed on the show and about her favorite performance artist, the inimitable Matthew Barney. Below, you will find an audiofile and a transcript of the interview.

Niki Taylor, host and judge of Make Me A Supermodel, has gone the Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum route of re-inventing herself as a reality show star to kickstart a new career in the entertainment industry after a successful run as a supermodel herself.
What else is Niki up to when she's not busy assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the model hopefuls on Make Me A Supermodel? She's helping out a charitable cause, and saying goodbye to a business venture.
