I was hoping for a Lisa & Heather finale but I think it will be Chantel & Saleisha in the finale with Chantel winning.

Spunky, Jenah would likely have work done on her teeth if she won. As far as "ordinary blonde California girl" there's nothing wrong with the California girl look. I don't think there's anyone right now who actually has that look. Cheryl Tiegs did a good job with that look during her day.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the California look. But, the judges seem to use it as dirty words when they say it. It's almost like they spit it out.

I agree that Bianca was not sincere when she said what she said to Tyra. I thought that if she had gone before Jenah, then she probably would have said something completely different. But, I sensed that she saw the reaction to Jenah's homesickness and thought she should be humble to get some sympathy. Even though she did not show it, I bet she expected Jenah to go home. Jenah has more lives as the final two than anyone.

In regards to Tyra's statement at the end, doesn't Bianca get the photos that were taken during her time at ANTM? That's a start at a portfolio.

Saleisha's hair finally looked good in the previews for next week when she had the sides tucked in behind her ears. Her eyes stood out more by doing that.

If Bianca gets to keep the photos from Next Top Model, that would be an awesome start for her. I kind of doubt that they are hers to use or keep though.

With respect to scams where companies offer to make you a model for a price, sure there are some of those out there. I can see why Tyra is against those. However, I can only guess how much Nigel would charge for a modeling portfolio and it wouldn't be cheap! I would hope Tyra thinks that Nigel's time, effort and skill is valuable.

I'm not suggesting that she would get someone like Nigel. All the same, getting someone who has no real portrait or modeling photography experience to try to take pictures for your portfolio is unlikely to work. As I said, if she doesn't want to spend a little money on a professional, at least get someone who is studying photography or at least has an artistic interest in it as a hobby.

You hear this sort of thing all the time. "My buddy takes awesome landscape shots so I've asked him to shoot my Wedding." Please!

i think they do get to keep the pics, cause when tyra called chantal up as winner in the group pic, she told her she was the only one to get one of those.

i was for a lisa and heather finale like a bunch of others here. i really don't care who wins now, i just wanted bianca gone.

i loved the dresses that jenah and chantal won especially chantal's. i loved that color.

Our local Community College here does use local models for their photography classes. The students are asked to provide the models with copies of their photos as 'payment' for their modeling time.
If Bianca lives in NY, I am sure that some of the major Art colleges would love a model for their photographic work.

I just have to say that Tyra's advice to Bianca at the end of the show was just …..

....an attempt to make her cry 'for good tv'?

Thats how I saw it. Tyra doesnt like it when her evicted Contestant just stares her down.
Tyra almost said that Bianca didnt deserve to make it to that late stage.

indeed, some of us have been saying it all along. Bianca had the same basic angry look in almost every picture. To keep her until this stage was simply for the 'good tv' she was giving them and keeping drama going.

in my opinion Bianca doesnt stand a chance in the real world of modelling.

I think we all know that IF Jenah was earmarked for Final Two they would have fixed her teeth. When they fixed Teeth of two models during that one season, I figured that they already HAD their top two picked.

Just a theory.

Bianca will probably end up doing 'catalog' work.
Oh my!

There's nothing wrong with catalog work. Many of the VSC models have started in catalog and gone on to quite successful careers.

Exactly what was up with Tyra's goodbye speech to Bianca? Very weird and so obvious it was all for TV. Biance will never get it. Since Heather was gone, she decided to criticize the other gals. She would do better for herself being less angry and concentrating on only herself.

I wouldn't mind a Saleisha/Chantal final two. I'd kind of like to see Saleisha win. Although she, too, has said/done some not so nice things, I really like her looks and personality the majority of the time. She's very cute and seems up all the time.

Ding dong the witch is dead, which old witch, the wicked witch! Ding dong the wicked witch is dead!!!

Oh, don't ask me why I have been singing that song since 9pm Wednesday. Just kind of popped into my head!

I *totally* believe that Bianca was Tyra's favorite. I just can't figure out why Tyra allowed her to get such a bad edit? Oh sure, give the girl modeling advice, but display her character in such a way that NO ONE would want to have anything to do with her? Makes total sense. Uh huh. Whatever.

Saleshia is on my last nerve, and neither of the others do anything for me at all. Bring back Heather!

I'm not so sure that Bianca was Tyra's favorite. If she was, she'd still be in China, and not gotten booted back to the good old U S of A. I actually think Saleisha was more a Tyra fav than Bianca. I think Tyra like Bianca's spunk, and that's all. I just wish the judges would see the same footage that WE see before they do the actual judging!

I didn't even listen to what Tyra said to Bianca after I found out she was leaving. I was just so happy she was going! Mean, mean, mean is all I can say about Bianca. I think that mean, sour atitude shows in Bianca's pictures, and I don't think she will get far at all in modeling.

Bianca's pictures weren't that great, and when they showed the montage of her pictures at the end of the episode, you could see that she had no range at all.

Just a little tidbit from MSNBC today....
Please let the record reflect, Janice Dickinson does not think Jennifer Love Hewitt is fat. Tyra Banks? Perhaps. During a Dec. 10 appearance on TODAY, Dickinson told Al Roker that Love Hewitt “is a healthy, not emaciated woman.” Then she added, “You want to see someone who’s fat? I’m sorry, Tyra. Tyra Banks is fat.”
Ouch! Although Dickinson said she was “kidding,” one person who is close to Banks’ reality show, “America’s Next Top Model,” feels pretty certain that Dickinson is serious. “Janice has been looking for any opportunity to speak out against Tyra,” said the source. “She feels like she got treated like s--- by Tyra when she was involved with ‘Top Model.’ I can’t believe she’d drudge up the past like this, though.”
Dickinson left “ANTP” in 2005. She was known then for her extremely sharp tongue, but according to an insider, the feud had more to do with her dislike of Tyra. “Janice just couldn’t stand dealing with her any longer. As long as she has the time and platform to throw Tyra under the bus, you can bet she will.”

Tyra isn't fat but even if she was she could change that, Janice is ugly from within.
I saw her,Janice, on Chelsea Lately and if you know the show, it's not a nicey nice show. Janice kept defending people like Paris, and Chelsea didn't look happy about it.

So hate that a woman that wears what a 7 even this show is considered PLUS SIZE!!! Sigh I always had trouble with my weight. Got sick quit smoking and gained 30 lbs LOL. so now I weigh 130 and was told by a relative I was getting Fat! I told them Leave me alone everyone bugged me I was too thin, now I'm sick and gained weight and they call me fat! Jennifer Love Hewitt Was LIVID and said there was Nothing wrong with her body and we should all Proudly wear bathing suits without being Talked about in such a negative way! It sends a bad signal to our young girls.

It's really too bad that people are so focused on this. Yes, Tyra weighs more than she did when she was 20. So what? Janice just has sour grapes.

I wish I could remember the bumper sticker that an old boyfriend had. Something like:

I may be fat, but you're ugly. And I can lose weight.

Something like that. If anyone knows the exact saying, I'd love to know it. It's been driving me nuts.

At any rate, the weight thing... <sigh> It gets so tiresome to hear people dis others who are, basically, of average build. Janice really ought to take a closer look in the mirror as she sometimes is downright scary looking. I really loved Jennifer Love Hewitt's blog in response to the TMZ photos recently. So she's got curves? Big whoop! As for Tyra, now that she isn't modeling, she doesn't have to maintain a thinner physique. She's probably now at her "natural" weight. A healthy weight!

And this is so off topic! Sorry! :-)
