ANTM - PE - Challenge 5: Best In Show WE HAVE A WINNER!!

Wow!  Really awesome shots everyone!

OMG all these shots are amazing

I just thought of a really fun idea but I'm not sure how doable it actually is since the contestants typically change from week to week and no one gets eliminated. I've always loved the graphics shown on ANTM's wikipedia that display the callout order. Still, I think it might be a fun visual! Example below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America%27s_Next_Top_Model,_Cycle_2#Call-out_order

Which brings up another factor. At this point this cycle has no end in sight. Would it make sense to eventually come up with a number to end the cycle with before starting a new one, such as the twelfth challenge or something? And then perhaps the member who wins the most challenges over the twelve challenges would be crowned the winner, and if there was a tie, the finalists would face off? I dunno...just me brainstorming aloud!

This seems to be more fun the way we do it now because more of us can join in with our ideas and entries to expand on our photography skills.

Awesome pics guys!  There were NUMEROUS photos I could have voted for, and as it is I can't pick one fave!!!!  Awesome!

[ivybunny84]

Great work this week everyone! Jordan and her ghouls were on location for a shoot, so they weren't able to enter this week, but they've all voted for their faves!

I was wondering about this too actually... And just throwing this out there if there is interest in doing another 12 contestant run like Cycle 1 & 2, I'd be willing to co-host...

Aw I was just to late.. but I have my photo done lol

I'd be interested in participating... although at this rate, it looks like I'd be first out if we based it on this week's picture. Haha.

I like this idea....cause as it stands things can go on indefinitely -- I think 12 challenges, and crowning a "winner" (the idea of the person with the most challenge wins during the cycle works well)
then start the cycles of public challenges over so many people can continue to participate

[tuneful87]

Yeah, jupi, it's the indefinite part that makes me concerned. Sometimes people lose interest when something goes on and on and on with no sort of climax or finale. Everything would still be all in fun and everyone would be able to participate in every round but it would just offer a sense of...I don't know...completion?

Unless you have a cycle of the regular and a public one on the side to please all?

[jupiternwndrlnd]

i dont think tuney is talking about doing a cycle like the last one, but rather than having an infinite number of these challenges, having these challenges in "groups"

See that sounds better.

If a different person won each of the twelve rounds, what then? And really, even if you break it up into multiple cycles, there's still no real "end" to the thing. I don't really see how that would necessarily help retain people's interest. Perhaps if each future cycle had an overarching theme, that might help. So like one cycle might be "Scaris" and the challenges all are themed around Scarisian things (Scarisian food, Scarisian fashion, Scarisian landmarks, etc).

Just playing devil's advocate here. I'm fine with whatever really.
