I enjoyed the reunion. It was pretty funny seeing some of them imitating each other's walk and then Tyson and Niki doing their imitations. My favorites are Ben and Ronnie. Not that they are the best models, I just like them better.

I am with Mocha about Ronnie. I have liked him since the beginning. I don't want him to win or stay in the comp because of whatever is or isn't going on with he and Ben. Perry is not attractive to me at all. Not even dressed up or made into a character or whatever, he just does not appeal to me. I think he shows talent with what they want from a super model, but looks-wise, eh. I think Holly is great. She just looks like a model. I voted for Ronnie. It's the first time I voted since the show started, but figured I would since it was the end.

I love Holly with her short hair, but I still think that bob was just perfect on her. She looked so amazing in the clips from the first episode where she walked the runway in that swimsuit with the bob!

I liked Holly's bob in the beginning but I think the short cut really accentuates her facial features better. I was disappointed they cut her hair at first but I love it now.

I initially liked Ronnie as well and maybe if he had continued through the competition without Ben, I might support his place in the F4. I read so many of the viewer comments posted on the Bravo website and for Ronnie and Ben, it's always "OOOOOH, I just love you guys! Your so cute together!" "I love how you guys have become such good friends!" "Ben you are setting such a good example to other straight men, showing such a sincere friendship with Ronnie." Blah. Blah. Blah. Nothing about their actual modeling. Now to have those opinions is fine, but seeing those comments is an obvious reflection of viewer's motives for voting. You can totally tell that people were not voting Ronnie back in because of his modeling skills. It was because they wanted to see Ronnie and Ben interact in the next episode. Same for Ben as well, he was brought back every week because people wanted to see if he would do anything risque with Ronnie. I could not stop myself from resenting the fact they continued on each week because their "relationship" was entertaining, while others who were superior (even by the judges admittance), went home. IMO Shannon (for sure) deserved the F4. She was consistently out-performing others in catwalk and photos. I remember hearing judges say that "she made everyone else in the photo look good". Ben and Ronnie were weaker in the beginning stages and having gotten early criticisms, they were able to improve in time. It seemed to me that Shannon did GREAT up until like 3/4 through the season. Then when they found weaknesses, she had too little time to improve. The competition became too tight really quickly and she was out. I also think Stephanie might have made a good F4.She was usually in the top, but had a bad week and went up against the wrong B3. I think that had she stayed on the show, we would have seen great work from her. Perry is not attractive to me at all. Not even dressed up or made into a character or whatever, he just does not appeal to me. I think he shows talent with what they want from a super model, but looks-wise, eh. See...I'm the exact OPPOSITE!! I am extremely attracted to Perry but I think that most of my attraction comes from the fact that I just think he is the best on the show. I love his confidence and I think he deserves to have it because he is a GOOD model. I LOVE LOVE LOVE his catwalk. I don't know what it is, but when he walks down that runway, he just looks so GOOD!! He is the only male who's walk I can stand. I think I remember someone on the show....a photographer or designer...comment on how he doesn't have good shoulders for clothing or something. I was shocked because I love his shoulders and I think he has a great body shape for clothing. Don't get me wrong though, I think Holly is a close runner up. She is a fantastic model as well.

If they wanted to truly pick the very best model they would have the experts choose the winner and not the public.

Hmm just cuz people commented on Ben/Ronnie doesn't mean that's their vote or reason for voting. If those people even voted.

Amen Twinkie!! The thought keeps popping into my head "Will this show change like Big Brother did?" I don't know how viewers reacted when they changed BB format after season 1 because I was not watching it that early on. Were people happy about it or not?? The last few seasons, I have seen posts mourning the fact that viewers do not vote out the HG's like they were able to in season 1. What I am not clear on is whether or not that was always the public sentiment or if that is a new wish from viewers looking back in nostalgia. It just seems to me that as far as BB goes, people wish to go back to the public vote. But that format kind of goes along with the concept of "Big Brother". "We are watching" and we can effect their fate, so viewer voting makes more sense. I think that MMAS is the opposite. I think it would do much better if the judges are voting. I mean yeah it sucks when someone you like leaves, but the judges know more than we do regarding the modeling industry. I think the show would be better if the judges decided who goes home because the decision would be based on their SUPERIOR knowledge in the matter. It just seemed to me that quite a few times the judges did not seem happy with the public's choice. So would they take that seriously enough to change the show for next season??? I think they should change it like they did for BB. I just truly value the judges' opinions on this show. They are nothing like ANTM and I am truly curious as to how the judges would have chosen among the models.

I am happy with the results also. I think Perry was startled that he was let go first, ie in fourth place. Ben was third. Ronnie was 2nd. And Holly wins! I thought it was a nicely done episode: First we get to see them go on "go-sees", then they are visited by special relatives, then a final catwalk and announcement of winner. I thought it had a lot of content; and didn't tease us until the very end with "who do you think the winner is?"

Yaaaaaaay for Holly! She was my pick from day 1. That is the first time my favorite has EVER won a reality show lol. I can't believe Ben and Perry were sitting there talking about "I can't believe she beat me". Oh, well, she showed all of them! I really, really enjoyed this series, I hope they will do another one. And I honestly think we will be seeing some of these contestants land real modelling jobs, unlike on some other shows!

I'm happy with the winner and I really enjoyed this show. It was done with class and there was real training done to teach those kids to be real models. I also hope they do another season. I was actually stunned when Perry was the first to be let go. I think he was too.

I'm happy with the winner. I'm surprised also that Perry went out at 4th. I fell asleep on the family visits so missed the ending. I'm very happy that Ronnie was 2nd.

I am happy Holly won, too. I also was really surprised that Perry was the first out. I thought Perry would beat both Ben and Ronnie, so was happy that Ronnie made it to 2nd place (since I voted for him). Holly deserved the win--she's so beautiful. I hope the show comes back, too. It was well done and done with class. I never got into that other modeling show. How about Perry's girlfriend? Interesting situation. She's very pretty. I think they all have careers ahead of them.

The whole thing with Perry and GF seemed staged to me. I like Perry, but a lot of stuff he did during the whole season, seemed like acting in order to get camera time. I do think that all of them will get work from this, but I don't know if any will ever be true supermodels. It hasn't really worked for any of Tyra's girls.

I'm not sure that the rankings were as you guys said. They never said "Perry, you're in fourth place" or that he had the least amount of votes. They clearly said for each pair "one of you we can't make into a supermodel" or something like that. At any rate, I'm glad Holly won, and was a bit surprised. I would've expected that more females voted on this show, and that a man would've gotten the most votes. Of course, there were three men, and they probably didn't help their chances (spreading the votes out amongst the three). Holly, though, definitely deserved to win. Perry's Amanda... she never did deny anything, did she? Niiiice! NOT! I'm also not really sure Perry will be a supermodel based on his body type. He looks more like a rock star than a model (skinny with broad shoulders is a tough body to sell). I think Ronnie will definitely book jobs, especially the Ralph Lauren type lines. And Ben does have a unique look and I think he'll make it, too. But YAY HOLLY!! Congrats, girl!

Yeah, Costa, I noticed that about Perry's girlfriend not ever denying anything either. Or rather, she could not confirm it when Perry asked her if she had been "true" to him. I think she just didn't want to talk about it on camera. I actually felt kind of bad for Perry, that must have been very awkward for him. I got a little po'd at her when she was saying he didn't understand how hard it was for her being all alone in L.A. If she can't deal with being alone for a little while, then she probably shouldn't be dating somebody whose career is going to take him away from her a lot.

There is a "Make Me a Supermodel UK edition" marathon going on right now on Bravo. I think it is just in the 3rd hour and runs for 18 hours. It's the entire UK season in just 1 day. and YAY Holly!!!

It must not have been too 'awkward' for Perry ... he managed to get her under his sheets on his bed in front of the camera. Classy! I felt bad for Ben's wife. She seemed so uncomfortable. I loved Holly's BF and Ronnie's mom. You could .. or at least I could .. feel the love!

I much more preferred this show than Antm. I watched an Antm ep this week and didn't like any of the girls at all.

Vnick, it seemed to me like Ben wanted to say something to her, but unlike Perry and his GF, he wanted to wait until the cameras were off of them.

Haha, I had to leave the room for a few minutes during the show, I missed Perry and Amanda in bed. Guess he wasn't too upset with her after all.
