Do You Agree With American's Next Top Model - All Star Shannon's Elimination?

Last night was another episode of Tyra Bank‘s All Star Edition of American’s Next Top Model.   The women headed to Greece for a photoshoot with Nikos PapadopoulosThe All Star contestants were asked to model underwear and pose in a salad bowl  and this is where the problems began.  If you missed last night’s episode you can read our official recap here!

Shannon a model who formerly competed in Cycle 1 of the show took a stand.  She told Mr. Jay that she was not wearing underwear in a photoshoot.  Mr. Jay tried to convince her that the underwear they chose for her looked like a bathing suit but Shannon was not willling to compromise.  Shannon goes on to tell Mr. Jay that underwear are for her husband.  Shannon thinks people will respect her because she is staying true to herself and her brand.  Shannon has said on many occasions, “That’s not the way I want to be portrayed.”

At the end Shannon would not budge. She told them that’s who she is, and she’d rather give it all up and go home than do something she’s not comfortable with.   The problem with Shannon’s decision is that she did not reject the underwear because they were small or skimpy she rejected them because they had the name “underwear.”  Shannon has had no problem posing in tiny bikinis.  Although the bikinis are far more revealing than underwear she has no issues with wearing them.   See the picture above and the bikini bottom she thought was appropriate.

Really Shannon’s attitude is foolish-she would be a perfect candidate for ‘ the emperors new clothes’-as long as she is told she is wearing clothing she would walk onto the  stage naked.    The underwear was more substantial than some bikinis Shannon has already modelled and so her stubborn refusal to perform her job caused her to be sent home and rightly so.
