I beg to differ!! ^Asia's Next Top Model^

I know some of u might not fancy the famous tv series Asia's Next Top Model. I've a friend who looks like she might be crazy about the modelling world, as she adores fashion so much & her life evolves around lots of girlfriends, those kind of girl who likes drama, being the centre of attention and looking for popularities. Plus, she has a very nice figure like a model herself. But she never even once watch such shows. And I thought she would love it, given the fact that her life got so much similarities with the models from the show, but I thought wrong.

Who could have expected. Me on the other hand loves my own company and hate a bunch of pretty girls who act lame & always have attitude problems. Surprisingly, I love this show despite the person I appears to be. I once heard from another friend of mine, about the unfairness result produced by the judges when comes to the elimination part. They always save the wrong girl & eliminate the one who should stay longer in the competition. And because of that many have stop to watch this show. I totally agree with my friend, but despite all the criticism, I really do fancy this series. I love the drama, the excitement, the attitudes, the challenges, the pretty faces and the talents. Ahhh I just love this show ^_^ It's just soo exciting!

And it's not as easy as everyone thought it would be. It's not just all about catwalks and posing for photo shoots. There are so much more which includes tough challenges that most people couldn't do. I've always adore those models from this Tyra Bank's shows and appreciate their hard works. I could see that the road to the modelling success are so tough and they still work hard to achieve it. They are definitely not lame. Somehow they inspire me to work hard in achieving whatever my dreams are.

I followed some seasons in America's Next Top Model, but ever since I got to know that they are adapting to Asia's version, I was so thrilled. However, sadly I never got the chance to watch any of the episodes as my husband is not really into this shows. Every time the show was on, my husband was always there conquering the remote control and switched to other channels. I always missed my favourite shows (some of the less good part in marriage life haha)

So today I was alone at home and I got the privilege of owning the remote in my hands and I finally got to watch this show which was already at the 9th episodes. It's better late than never right? I got so excited with this shows that I googled it up and found their website!!! That means I got to catch up with all the episodes that I'd missed. ^_^

Check this out to see their full episodes, the judges, the contestants and all u need to know about Asia's Next Top Model ^_^

There are 14 contestants in this shows but as of today, there are only 6 contestants left. Check out the website to know all the contestants but here are the top 6:

1. Aastha Pokharel, from Nepal

2. Jessica Amornkuldilok from Thailand

3. Stephanie Retuya from Philippines

4. Helena Chan from Hong Kong

5. Kate Ma from Taiwan

6. Sofia Wakabayashi from Japan

My favourite was Helena Chan from Hong Kong, but unfortunately she was eliminated in this episode. I strongly disagree with the judges decision to eliminate Helena. To me, she is very talented in the sense of her creativity and confidence and so much more. She was also the strongest contender in the competition. I thought she would at least be the second runner up. I bet all the girls were surprised too, I could see their expressions after hearing the result delivered by the judge Nadya.

Earlier during this episode Helena won 2 of the challenges; Playboy Fragrance Video Challenge and Red Carpet Challenge. She excelled in both challenges and outshine others in the competition. She carried herself with confidence despite the criticism thrown her way. Throughout her existence, they always seemed to highlight Helena's attitude problem which to me was unfair. That seemed like a decision influenced by personal and emotional's sides, not a professional ones. She was there to win the competition, not to make friends, so, the hell with attitudes.

To me, as long as she delivers her tasks well, that's more than enough. I thought the judges knew better. But I was wrong. We know there are a lot of girls who have attitude problems, but she is different from others, she only reacts to those girls who step on her foot. She never act sucks for nothing. I believe many people can see that. She is very competitive & wanted to win the competition so badly since day 1. Prior to that, she had taken all challenges seriously & always think out of the box when given a challenge, but at the end the judges didn't appreciate it & told her she was putting a lot of pressure on herself. It feels sucks when someone that determined being accused of putting to much pressure on herself. Like seriously? In a competition if u always relax u will definitely loose. Have u heard the story about the slow turtle and the proud rabbit? I guess u got my point.

So anyway, I won't watch the cycle 1 anymore cos I don't have any favourites left. All of them are not as talented as Helena & I am so frustrated with the judges being so biased to save up an obviously weak contestants like Stephanie and Sofia. I will definitely want to know who's the winner at the end and I hope it's gonna be Jessica from Thailand. She is such a nice and soft-spoken girl.
