America's Next Top Model

[Deleted]

Michelle's "pride" picture was a riot. She looked like a dead drag queen, with her mouth hanging open and her silly expression. One of the judges even said nobody would ever hire her in the real world. Poor Michelle.

The thing I don't get about that situation was that the makeup artist as well as the shoot stylist decided that Michelle's eyebrows should be covered up, and thin lines re-drawn on. Of course she looked like a tranny! With the eyebrows they gave her, there wasn't one pose in the world that wouldn't have made her look like a man.

Naima winning the Cover Girl contest every week is the kiss of death. YaYa also won almost every time, and she only got second place.

How cruel was it that they made Keenyah be "Gluttony", when the previews show her stuffing her face and her resulting stomach 'pooch'?

I thought Eva won Cover Girl of the week almost every time?

I predict Christina and Michelle will be the next ones to go.

[biondetta]

I'm actually starting to like Christina, personality wise, in that she doesn't seem particularly bitchy or annoying. But there's no way she could win. She's pretty enough, but too hard looking with her pop eyes and thin lips. Some of her photos look ok, but I don't see her doing runway with those eyes. They'd scare everyone.

But Keenyah have alway have pooch. Noticable from a side profile.

Queequeg --

Actually, I think YaYa won "Cover Girl" for quite a while, then revealed her bitchy self and Eva took the following weeks. Or vice-versa.

As much as Naima is loved and adored and CGOTW, I just don't get it. I hate the MoHawk, she hasn't really revealed much of her personality yet and takes okay pictures. This week was the first I was blown away by, but word to what Sexlexia said about not conveying the actual sin. Sure, she's pretty and kinda exotic, but the kind of exotic that's actually a dime a dozen in the modeling industry. And by now, we all know the show is actually about picking an overall star/entertainer/personality rather than a model.

Christina is actually terrifying in person and photographs well, but a bit weirdly.

I think Michelle and Keenyah will be the next to go. Former is fug, the latter is gorgeous but hasn't stepped up her game. Actually, I'm thinking Brittany, Kahlen, Naima as the final three. Part of me loves Kahlen so much. OK represent!

eta: the word Jann Carl doesn't actually want us to use

Ah, thanks huntergrayson.

It is looking like a Brittany, Naima, Kahlen top three but then there's that statement from Tatiana saying the winner is going to shock people or something. Who would be the most surprising and is it even worth taking any notice of what Pugsly said?

ETA There's some really interesting stuff about how fixed the whole thing is in the spoiler thread over at TWOP. To be honest, I had always suspected it but it's kind of cool having it confirmed (if the poster is genuine).

I couldn't watch tonight ( and FORTs down again), but someone told me they kicked Michelle off, but what did Tyra say to Naima to make her cry?

Oh, and did anyone call Keenyah out on her weight gain?

[indygirl]

Tyra told Naima that she has no personality. She said that when she spends time in the evening thinking about the girls, she forgets about Naima because her personality is blah.

They did spend some time talking about Keenyah's weight gain. When all the girls were told they would portrya the essence of certain animals--the animals were assigned by Jay based upon what he saw in the girls--Keenyah was told she would be the elephant. A breakfast scene was edited to show her eating a great deal and Tyra and Janice told her that she was too heavy for a model.

Why do I have the feeling that it was the same bagel being eaten in every shot?

I hate Keenyah. I've only seen one episode this season, but I read recaps and watch the upn insider videos. This week on the UPN site there's a video called Sore Winners. It looks likeKeenyah, Brittany, and Christina won a challenge where they dont have to sleep outside and instead of being happy they're yelling at Naima, saying "You deserve this!" Then Keenyah brings up the fact that she's won a diamond necklace and a tennis racquet from Serena Williams. I know I'm not describing this right, but I hope you check out the video.
