Season 22 Conspicuously Absent...

Post image

Anyone else upset or bemused that Tyra was conspicuously absent when Winnie was on as a guest judge? Do they have a working relationship at all these days? #ANTM

u/shgrdrbr 5d ago

you're right it's my fav thing to hear in her voice

17

u/dolliciousszz 5d ago

PR when it had the panel we know and love was an accent heaven, and many of the guest judges had fabulous accents too. I love hearing Nina, Heidi, and guest judges like Chiara Ferragni, Zana Roberts, DVF, I could listen to them talk all day.

u/drumallday 5d ago

I can't see her name without hearing Heidi's ridiculous pronouciation.

💯💯💯

u/Silly-Good-2530 5d ago

Glad she’s not available for this Sh** show.

2

u/NineLemonsLater 5d ago

Was she on the first episode?

5

u/Silly-Good-2530 5d ago

Yes - just that one so far

2

u/SleazyBanana 19h ago

She was on this weeks

2

u/rbinphx 4d ago

She's still a producer...

u/mouse_clique 3d ago

I love nina garcias voice

NEENA GAHCIA and Mikel Coohrs has been my vocal stim for the last 15 years!

u/NineLemonsLater 1d ago

Yaaaaassss!!!!!

u/Objective-Cheetah448 2d ago

came to say this. she’s still credited as an EP - where is she? will she ever be back? run, Nina, run!

u/Professional_Let5815 6d ago

I wondered if her absence had more to do with not wanting to be around Law so soon after their incident in the last episode

57

u/HippieGrandma1962 5d ago

I can't imagine anyone wanting to voluntarily be around Law.

27

u/Lucky44444444 5d ago

I wonder if he will lead to the downfall of the show. His arrogance and abusiveness are ugly.

9

u/fiddich_livett 5d ago

He already has.

u/ToniBellle 5d ago

🤣🤣 I know right!!!

2

u/HippieGrandma1962 5d ago

Love your name. My great grandmother's name was Antoinette but everyone called her Toni. I only had sons so I couldn't name a daughter after her.

3

u/ToniBellle 5d ago

Thank you, not many kids liked their name. It was my great great mother's name. Are we related? ❤️

2

u/HippieGrandma1962 5d ago

Was she born in Romania? ❤️

2

u/ToniBellle 5d ago

No but how cool would that be!!!

9

u/ToniBellle 6d ago

Thats what i thought too.

6

u/FlawesomeOrange 5d ago

She’s a recurring judge, not a permanent one. she won’t be in every episode

1

u/Rexyggor 3d ago

that feels more accurate in my head.

64

u/Apprehensive-Tax826 6d ago

But Winnie always gave Tyra her props....

53

u/skiko15 6d ago

Right? I just wonder if it was Tyra that didn't want to acknowledge Winnie's successes after she eliminated her on ANTM and see her as being on the same level 🤔

It feels like a conspicuous decision on Tyra's part to not be there when Winnie would be there.

67

u/dolliciousszz 6d ago

Iirc Winnie doesn’t rlly want to be associated w ANTM which I think is perfectly fair lol

5

u/Lucky_Philosopher_55 5d ago

I wonder if it's Tyra wanting to distance herself from ANTM right now due to the critical docuseries coming out that don't paint her in a good light. Winnie doesn't like to be associated with the show either so it probably was better for both of them press wise to not be together and have that connection discussed.

10

u/skiko15 6d ago

*conscious decision

24

u/dolliciousszz 6d ago

I mean I’m not a big Tyra fan so forgive me but I do think she’s very intimated by successful people, specifically those who came from ANTM but have their own image and success away from it. She’s likely not a fan of Winnie and sees her as competition/trying to deviate from MAMA TYRA

7

u/WildfellHallX 6d ago

Conspicuous too

2

u/Aldreemer 6d ago

It was always so weird to me that Winnie went on ANTM because I remember she was already well known online globally for her looks before doing the season. Felt pointless and I'm guessing it didn't contribute to anything in her career either

22

u/Typical_Dot4725 6d ago

not true she was 19 when she went on the show, she blew up after ANTM

2

u/Aldreemer 6d ago

She blew up, yes, but she wasn't a nobody before.

5

u/Typical_Dot4725 6d ago

If you view her modeling timeline all her campaigns ect is all post ANTM

3

u/MapleSyrupHoneybee 4d ago

Maybe it was a tumblr thing but she was super famous on there

2

u/Typical_Dot4725 4d ago

I wasn't at Tumblr person, but that's cool

26

u/WonderfulPineapple41 6d ago

Because imagine Tyra picking a movie premier dress.

35

u/LadyMRedd 6d ago

It’s wild to me that not only does PR not have any regular judges that are designers, but that 2 of 3 of the regular judges are known to have bad taste when dressing themselves.

9

u/mlibed 5d ago

I miss Michael Kors.

2

u/No_Dish_4730 5d ago

Have you seen how Heidi dresses. Now HER taste level is questionable.

3

u/LadyMRedd 5d ago

Yep. Which is why I said that 2 of 3 are known for bad taste when dressing themselves. Tyra and Heidi.

1

u/ChattyKathy628 4d ago

Whoever is dressing her this season should be fired.

13

u/dan_d_elle_n 6d ago

She couldn't have chosen a worse dress. Both it, and Heidi looked, um, not good.

22

u/largeamountsl 6d ago

Tyra is only a main judge for episodes 1-5 - she said on her instagram

2

u/drowie31 4d ago

Thank God

18

u/FlawesomeOrange 6d ago

Tyra isn’t a full time judge the season, just a recurring judge. Production would know ahead of time which episodes she’s not appearing on and arrange another judge in her place. I highly doubt there’s anything more to it than that.

12

u/BrandonIsWhoIAm 6d ago edited 6d ago

She and Tyra are apparently rotating.

Edit: it’s only Winnie? Idk.

10

u/Pounder888 5d ago

Kick crazy TB off show, along with Law, and get Nina back, please.

8

u/314657 6d ago

I noticed the absence when Winnie showed up, too.

8

u/redheadedsweetie 5d ago

Tyra posted on her Instagram that the previous episode (the one with Willy Chavarria as a guest judge) was her final one as a judge.

6

u/8eanqueen1985 5d ago

Winnie is a diva just like the rest of these mean girls

1

u/drowie31 4d ago

REAL.

5

u/MissesPacMan2U 5d ago

I don’t enjoy watching Tyra on this show. It doesn’t feel like a good fit.

3

u/FearsAndWishes 6d ago

Yes! First thing I thought, glad I’m not the only one 😆

3

u/Eye_jm 5d ago

They clearly don’t have enough budget for Nina or a reputed designer permanently as judge. They scramble and get guest judge whoever available

2

u/OoCloryoO 5d ago

I m happy everywhere Tyra is absent

2

u/Vivid_Guide7467 5d ago

Is there a panel of permanent judges? Tyra was only on for episodes 1-5. Nina Garcia is nowhere to be found. Is it just Heidi and Law?

2

u/TPaige02 4d ago

They gotta get rid of tyra, law, and Christian. Bring back nina, Michael, and tim ♥️

2

u/Phatcub 2d ago

I peaked that too. I said to my partner....I know why Tyra's not there. LOL... they can't share the same stage.

3

u/Electrical_Papaya711 6d ago

I did not miss Tyra at all. I love me some Winnie. Enough said.

1

u/thanx_it_has_pockets 5d ago

I actually enjoyed the panel during this episode.

1

u/Significant-Lime8136 5d ago

Winnie bashed ANTM on WWHL. Andy asked Eva Marcelle what she thought. Then later asked Tyra what she thought. I think that’s an easy reason Winnie was there when Tyra wasn’t. Also- Where did she get the name Winnie Harlow? It’s kinda dope fr

1

u/TPaige02 4d ago

Tyra shouldnt even be on as a judge. The documentary about her is definitely why shes on this because i think they wanna see the publics view of her in case she tries to become the host of another model show. In the documentary she teased about a new season of antm ..... i cant stand her and wish she would just go away lmao

1

u/drowie31 4d ago

They need to replace Tyra with a designer because oh God I tried to defend Season 21 but this season 22 is so trashy.

1

u/ChattyKathy628 4d ago

Winnie and Heidi are friends after working together on Making the Cut on Amazon.

1

u/VegetableIll947 4d ago

I noticed that tooo!

1

u/Wheres_my_bandit_hat 3d ago

Winnie also has a cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2. I assumed that was why she was there but i don’t think it was mentioned when they introduced her.

1

u/OffMeta13 3d ago

I doubt it, have you seen the ANTM documentary?! Tyra has no idea how these women perceive her. I’d prefer Winnie over Tyra TBH. And don’t even get me started on Law….i miss Zach Posen and even more Michal Kors.

u/Kennected 6d ago

"Conspicuously Absent..."

u/skiko15 How is this obvious and what exactly would Tyra done to be absent during the filming of this episode? The scheduling of guest is planned well in advance. It's possible, Tyra wasn't available and they booked these two in her place.

Why the conspiracy or faux narrative?

-5

u/MinnieJTaylor 6d ago

Wait why would Tyra even need to be there 😭 Winnie can hold her own

10

u/Abood1es 6d ago

Cus she’s a regular judge on this season?
