全美超模大赛第十七季

我对于全美超模大赛并不是特别热衷，但是看过的几季都让人印象深刻。
S12里，Alison就表现的很特别，大大的眼睛让人害怕但又喜欢；S13矮模比赛，模特界身高是个硬指标，这季的出发点很好，而且确实也很精彩；S16记住的也就是她们在那吵架，从幕后一直吵到评委面前。Alexandria表现的很bitch，反到在S17 All Star这季中收敛了很多。
话说回来，今天看了这季最后一集，虽然很希望Alison赢，但是不得不说Lisa拍的Cover Girl的硬照真的很不错。唯一让人费解的就是Angelea为什么离开了？
维基百科上说“Angelea was disqualified from the competition for unspecified reasons.”刚才看到讨论组里说“貌似她已经得了冠军，但是节目播出前没忍住在自己的facebook上公布结果了，就被取消资格鸟。 ”要是那样可真悲催。。。
下面附上Lisa接受采访时对于获得冠军以及Angelea离开的感想：
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.

从后面几个关于Angelea的问题回答中可以看出，Lisa根本没把Angelea当做对手。。。

  看17季是因为寝室的姑娘特别喜欢Allison 一直推荐我看 我看了之后也变成Allison的脑残粉了 还有Laura和Kayla 我也很喜欢 但是其她姑娘就╮(╯_╰)╭ 从第一集开始Camille、Alex、Bianca还有Anglea就各种吵啊 不知道为什么节目组对Anglea那么偏爱啊 每次都给她镜头很多 她和Bianca都好贱呐 Bianca太把自己当回事儿了 端着个架子 而Anglea一直处在极度的自卑和自负之间 一看到男人就恨不得扑上去的样子 不知道这样的水准为什么能差点就成为了全明星啊 还Shanon奇怪的价值观 不能穿内衣拍照 可是她穿的那个比基尼小短裤明明更像内裤啊
  Allison有种勿入凡间的精灵的感觉 带着无所适从感 没有人忍心伤害她 而Laura就是可爱风 和每个人关系都很好 总是带着笑 Kayla这季没什么亮点 感觉没有进入角色的样子 不过还是很喜欢她
  真的不能接受最后冠军是Lisa 虽然她真的很努力 但是一副大妈样还疯疯癫癫的 一点都不符合高端时尚的气质好么 尤其是开始的那几集 热狗那张硬照超恶心的 像屎一样 不知道怎么能是最佳硬照的 还有MJ那张 评委难道就不腻歪她的叉腿跳么= = 总之这一季看的时候各种吐槽啊 个人主观色彩太严重了

  本来是看着好玩的。但是这个结局让我震撼了。剧透把冠军宝座给丢了。我不可怜她。可怜之人必有其可恨之处。谁都遭遇过悲苦，勇敢者会忘记伤疤，并让痛苦成为滋养幸福的土壤。 懦弱者。。。。。。。。。
没想到看这么一款增加模特常识的电视剧还可以让我对做人产生更深的感悟。A 呀，你是一个活生生的例子呀，没定力的人真是废物！！！！ 谢谢你教我这么多，看到你吵吵闹闹的样子我都狠不得骂你几句了。拜拜

对model的印象，一直是在天桥上走走，所以总有个大问号是：模特的选拔标准是什么，那些超模到底有什么过人之处？在看完超模大赛17季，多少有点了解，对主持人tyra更是欣赏的不得了，个人魅力实在无法竟说。
因为是真人秀，当然，对于参赛的人是全程摄像机伺候的，最近几天一直分秒必争的赶看C17，之前的其实还没看过，C17里有好多都是之前的比赛中表现比较突出的。既有女孩儿们之间力争上游的努力，又有争先恐后的矛盾，每个人的心理都有小九九，当然，大部分人都非常自信，认为自己就是那个最终的超模。有女孩儿性格热情奔放，当然也很全能，硬照、拍片、作曲都很出色，也有的女孩儿比较内向收敛，只是默默加油；有的女孩儿社交能力出色，也有的女孩比较个性，直言直语，因而饱受孤立。当然这部综艺给我最大的领悟就是，什么是fashion，怎么来表达fashion，motel对于摄影师、设计师的要求的领悟以及诠释决定了这个模特的成功与否，当然这也取决于模特自己对美的领悟，自身对fashion的修养。我记得tyra对一个不能充分表达自己的模特选手说，让她把所有尖端杂志上的硬照好好学习一番，再来参加这个节目（C11)，可见模特并不是只靠外表的美丽，更是靠内心的修为。tyra作为超模中仅有两个的黑珍珠之一，不仅外表时尚漂亮，举止投足之间更是洒脱热情、真实有魅力。到后来，我总是关注她的一举一动，措辞用句，还有对模特表现的点评。可以说她的成功绝对来自于她聪明的头脑和审时度势的智慧。

Angelea的下场早已预料，可是即便Lisa张扬了丫的个性，但是完全她妹没有模特范儿好不好。我的Alision，还我冠军！！！！
