I had my hopes when they were reviewing her lameass photo but nooooooooo. They had to take EVERYONE'S favorite who still took an awesome photo and has more potential in her little finger than Bianca.
Really, I thought Jenah was doomed when they spent two weeks on her "attitude." But then I remembered CariDee and how she ended up winning after snarking off to Nigel (which I still think was way overblown).

Am I the only person so very annoyed by Heather? I understand that she has a form of autism, but I don't know. I was just never really set on her. I think she reminds me way too much of a girl I used to tutor. She was a model with ADHD too. For real, I was so happy when she went home. And honestly, she could never do a commercial, or really get around on her own...I mean, evidently. I don't think their reasoning was wrong, no matter how wonderful she looks on film (which she does, I won't deny).
Anyway, I love Jenah. I really hope she wins. Saleisha makes me gag. Are you serious, lady? She's so sickly sweet and fakey-suck up. Bianca's the ultimate pill, but I think she's got an amazing face and athletic body. Chantal just seems...Well I'm no 'everyone has to be clever' kind of snob, but what was that cultural gem? "It's like we're in the Jetsons!!"
Man, this show allows me a weekly purge of all my snark. I'm really very subdued in person, I swear!

^^^^Oooooh! Sorry if I spoiled it for you! Sunday, it's sooo par for the course with this show. They sometimes latch on to a girl they like. There've been white girls that were pretty lame to me but damn if they didn't hold on practically 'til the bitter end. Just one of the quirks of the judges. It's like that on American Idol where the runner up does better than the winner! Look at Jennifer Hudson. They couldn't stop bitching about her weight and clothes and they thought this thin teenager was unbeatable. See who's had the last laugh! :rotfl:

Yuuuup. Several weeks too late but yay! (The thing is, the more I saw her, the more I thought she really does have a striking face. But yeah, hated the attitude and her pics were NOTHING special.)
I'm so surprised Saleisha has stepped up her game this much. It's the Bubbly Twins (and Negative Nancy Jenah) in the finale! I have NO clue who's gonna win it.

I think that unless Jenah changes her attitude, it'll be Chantal and Saleisha for the final two.

My daughter started clapping when the b*tch was FINALLY kicked off. Ive hated her since day one.
Jenah better not win. I cant stand her. I dont get the feeling that she really wants this. I love Chantal.... For me it was Heather 1st, Chantal 2nd. Now that Heathers gone - Chantal all the way.

If it comes between Chantal and Saleisha, I will never again watch this show if Saleisha wins.
No joke.

Oh I almost forgot....to everyone who saw yesterday's ep, did you catch who the Covergirl of the Week was?
Heather. No lie. She's not even on the show anymore and she's STILL the fan fave. Booting her off was the worst thing Tyra could've done for her publicity.
pookie
12-07-2007, 03:03 AM
^^I totally agree. Why would Tyra do that. I am sure most of the people wanted Heather to win! Heather took the best photos by far. And if she just did more modeling and speaking, i am sure she would be able to help with her stage fright

On nearly every series they have picked the wrong girl IMO just for Tyra's sucky bullshit reasons. Season one they picked a good one.
My BF said Saleisha reminds him of one of those good luck troll dolls. That hair cut they gave her was not fearce it was the ugliest, worst hair cut I have ever seen.
LilyLove
12-07-2007, 03:43 AM
^ I think Saleisha is beautiful but I agree, the haircut they gave her is atrocious for a grown woman. It reminds me of the kind of cut they give two year olds. "Cupcake hair."
I loved Heather because she reminded me of my lil sister. My beautiful sister... My mom got hooked on the show because of her.

oh she is attractive I agree, but she got screwed over with that hair. It hides her face and looks immature.

It's kind of retro/fururistic if that makes any sense. Like I expect to see her rocking Barbarella. I can see it working in a lot of high-fashion shoots but not so much for Covergirl.
But ever since the whole "Saleisha went to T-zone" thing was mentioned, I've been afraid this whole thing was rigged in her favor.
mollyzmoon
12-07-2007, 08:31 AM
Saleisha is getting treated like the second coming of Tyra herself. I think she's beautiful, but not the best model there.
I think Jenah's the best in photos. I really want her to win, but she almost definitely will not.

all heather needed was some speech classes to learn how to speak in public.under pressure. :( MAKES ME MAD.

I so didn't want her to win out of those two. Something about her annoys me.

She is NOT the best there. Another bad choice once again.

Though I HAVE to admit, she's a freakin positive role model (hahaha) for the little girls watching this show. She had 0 drama and nothing but smiles and puppies along the way. (Not that the 2nd choice was anything but positive either!)
OK spoilers ahead.
So my first pet peeve is with the judges trying to break the girls down and see "who they really are" by making them cry and giving them a 60 second Dr Phil psychoanalysis. Oooooh you insulted Jenah and she cried in front of the camera like you wanted....you happy now? I feel like they defeated her. Like yeah, she probably had some issues but I would be fucking ASHAMED to bring those up in front of Tyra like that. Save the therapy for professionals, please. And it didn't even get her to the final round. Unbelievable.
As far as the finals, once I remembered that it was a runway competition, I knew Saleisha had it. She was one of the fiercest walkers from day 1, and Chantal was only average. So that came as no surprise (I'm still disappointed Chantal didn't have better presence, though). Really, Saleisha did way better.
But just looking at their faces, their bodies, and their photos, I say Chantal Chantal Chantal! She wasn't my favorite model all the way but I think she has way more versatility and potential. Maybe I'm just saying that because I wanna do her, I dunno.
Anyway, another Cycle over, another wrong girl winning. Sunday out.

Uhm.... WTF was with Saleisha winning?! Chantal was my 2nd fav from the beginning. Heather being my fav... I hate this show and Tyra drives me up a fucking wall... I think Im going to boycott next season...
blondhottie
12-12-2007, 10:22 PM
I think Tyra has something against blondes. I believe that there has only been one blonde winner-Caridee I think? I don't think I'm going to watch next season either unless I get really bored some night-Tyra annoys me too much. LOL

You are 100% on point with everything said. Im never watching this show again. I erased it from my DVRs set recordings. I cant stand Tyra anymore. I stuck it out this season but Im so over it...

If you can do that, you're a stronger woman than I am! I feel bad for getting sucked back into it but they're hot women in interesting photo shoots...I can't look away!

Looks like another gal who be just as (un)popular as Jaslene ::)
And as far as it being a runway competition ( @ SM) , not always. CariDee flopped the runway show and still won.

Gawd you're so right. I cringed with embarrassment for CariDee's performance. However, I still don't understand why she won when Melrose had done everything else right and they were pretty much on the same "not the freshest new face" level. I didn't like Melrose at all (probably through the editing, honestly) but I still thought she should have won.

Agreed. Completely. And I didn't even mind her all that much. She definitely wasn't the biggest bitch of the cycle.

It seems like ANTM is really about looking for the next top commercial model. None of the winners seem high-fashion to me.
They all have the cute/pretty thing going on but no one's really striking. well ... wiat, there was that one girl with an amazing face. They one that lost a bunch of weight and they harped on her body for some reason. That girl.

I think a couple of the girls look high fashion, but they do seem to be leaning more and more towards commercial looking girls.

IMO, ANTM is not about creating/finding top models at all. It's about putting on a TV show that will get high ratings. Nothing more.
Did anyone see the True Hollywood Story about ANTM? Kind of a "where are they now"? Britney from Cycle 5 (one of my faves) said modeling in the real world is not like ANTM at all. On ANTM, they make you do crazy shoots with body paint and wild sets and costumes. They tell you every single thing they don't like about you and really try to break you down (b/c it's a show and that gets ratings). She said in the real world she mostly shoots clothing on a normal set with normal makeup and if they turn you down, they just say no and you move on. They don't rip you a new one.
I found a thread on another forum that listed where all the girls are now, who is successfully modeling and who isn't. I can try to find it for y'all if you like.

^^^^ I think the public knows this though. We see modelling gigs 24/7 and most of it is not as funky as what we see on ANTM. But that's one of the things I LIKE about the show. Seeing the sets, makeup and costumes.

Yoanna.
I thought Naima had a very exotic look at well and fantastic body language from being a dancer. But I agree that the rest of the winners are pretty commercial. However I think that with a good makeup artist, any girl who can pose can be "high fashion," regardless of her natural facial structure. Oooh she has lots of eyeshadow and her hair is all disheveled...let's sign her!

Oooh would you? I look on wikipedia and they have info on some cycles but it's inconsistent. That's what makes me OK with the wrong girl winning, is that I know what career opportunities await the "losers."
