...or is Jameka blowing smoke up her ass? Now we all know the reality of this model situation. What is jameka's game with this. Certainly she can;t be serious? Or does she have a "girl-crush?"

Amber could never handle the pressures of being a model. Do you see what she does in the house?? There is no way she could have somebody, somewhere judging her 24/7 more than they already do... She would have the biggest nervous breakdown

Of course she couldn't handle it. So why is jameka blowing smoke up her ass?

Agreed, Beckie. I've watched ANTM judges be out-right nasty with some of their comments that the girls cry. And many of these women have some modeling experience so you'd think they'd have tougher skins than Amber has. She has that in-between body type - in between Twiggy and plus-size. Don't know that there's too much opportunity out there for that body type.

Not to be mean, but no modeling agency would let Amber past the lobby. I've been wondering what Jameka's motive is as well. Sheesh, that house does weird things to otherwise intelligent people (talking about Jameka here, of course!).

Jameka is playing to her vanity. I wonder if she thinks vanity is a sin or just a a rung lower?

I don't think Amber really believes it.

Remember on Seinfeld when George was hired as a hand model? Maybe Amber could be a hair model...she has a beautiful head of hair.

2 possible theories: 1. Being stuck in the house for so long makes one "beer goggle." 2. Jameka hasn't had any experience seeing magazines with white models. actually, if Jameka has been around white people as seldom as she claims, that might help explain it.

My daughter and I were talking about this very subject last night when BB was on. We were like there is no way that Amber would be a model.. she could not handle it. I personally think Jameka is blowing smoke up Amber's butt to boost her confidence. You have to remember that Jameka is a school counselor, so she knows what to say to people etc.. or kids.. and Amber is like a big baby anyway.

Blowing smoke to boost confidence is not a lie and hence, not a sin.

ever seen a Saan's brochure?? a walmart sale paper? lots of ambertypes in there. there is nothing wrong with being encouraging and jameka was trying to point her in another direction. Which i think is being discussed in quite a few threads already <100>

Amber is too small for a plus size model and too big for any other kind. Watch the back of her walking away. Her rear end and love handles jiggle. Now next to me she's not fat but when I was her size I consided myself fat. Now I'm just fatter. LOL

I think there is a point between boosting confidence and straight out lying...and IMO, I think Jameka is riding it. If Amber keeps bringing it up (which she seems to do), Jameka by telling her that she could possibly do it, is, just as Tobor said, feeding it. I understand telling her she could be a model maybe the first two times Amber has brought it up, but after that it's not boosting the confidence...it is playing into Amber's already big ego...and turning into a lie. You only boost confidence for so long...

Sunshyne4u - re Walmart's Ambertype models - the sales ad's (here in Texas at least) for Walmart uses their employees and employee's family members NOT professional models.

The only thing Amber has going for her is her hair. I think what CBS did during the whole "Amber could be a model" thing was disgusting! They showed her body in a bathing suit and obviously the shot they used wasn't "model worthy". Not to mention her face while she was eating. There is so much more to concentrate on in the house without resorting to making fun of someone's dream. Don't get me wrong. I'm sick of Amber's crying and I think her whole "God, I love you" thing is a bunch of crap, but to give her false hope about being a model and then basically showing "what a crock" that would be to us, by showing her worst pose in a bathing suit and her worst facial feature captures, and not to her, is just wrong!

I think Jameka thought she was supporting her friend. Knowing it could never happen is NOT gonna make things better for Amber, so pointing out the harsh truth may not have been the nicest thing to say at that time. A little support, even if it means allowing your friend to dwell in fantasy land, can be a good thing. Who did Jameka hurt by doing this? Amber? Hardly. We, as well as Jameka, know this will never come to pass...so let the child have her dream for now...she will find out sooner or later...

I guess in a small way anything is possible. Even Cindy Crawford has made the comment she doesn't look like Cindy Crawford when she wakes up. Magazine covers and out front super model I don't see happening. Background and group shots, maybe. That is not what Amber is reaching for, she wants top of the line and wants it now. I just don't see Amber having the dedication to make that happen. With Jen we saw her working on her body daily, as her face and body are her lively hood. Amber spent 2 days in a row getting on the treadmill and declared her butt had gotten higher.

I actually think Jameka was being sincere. The pic of Amber at the top this section actually isn't too bad. Top Model has had some rather homely girls so even though, NO, I don't think Amber is model material, and was in disbelief at this segment....after further consideration, I can almost sorta see why these girls think it might be possible.

What bothers me more is that Jameka has several times on her own encouraged Amber, told her she would have magazine covers, be a motivational speaker.. She also said she was sure someone would pay for Amber's college eductation, her daughter's education. This is remotely possible, but unlikely. Yes, George's daughter got a scholarship (which I think she may not have used) but George was a much more appealing character than Amber is. If good things come her way, great, but she is now expecting so much she is bound for a fall..

I think Amber believes everything Jameka says. Top Model does have some rather homely girls but I think Amber's problem would be her mental state. I think Amber is very pretty when she's not crying. I think it's not very nice of Jameka to put these idea's in Amber's head. Jameka has to know Amber's mental state.

I don't really think Jameka is trying to boost her ego...I think she's just "playing" Amber.
