Why Were Cycle 7's Photoshoots SOOOOO Bad?

I am rewatching C7 and am now realizing how bad the photoshoot ideas were collectively. The wind tunnel shoot remains the worst in ANTM history but there were so many others in that cycle. The Fabio shoot, The unstable runway shoot, the model stereotype shoot, the celebrity shoot and even the circus shoot weren't that good. Some contestants did good individual but the execution as a whole was poor.

Even during the go sees, none of those photos were usable. In general their portfolios arent usable but C7 takes the cake. C6 their portfolios could be usable off the show along with c10 as an example. Cycle 7 was horrible.
