I like Natasha. She reminds me of Angelina Jolie, she's very pretty. It's a bummer that the girls do not like her. I love how hard she works.

Natasha has already hauled her pretty little butt out of certain poverty in Russia, landed a very supportive husband in the US, made it onto a nationally televised hit show, charmed the judges and parleyed several squinty, pouty shots into the top 8 in ANTM! I think she is doing GREAT! And I do like her a lot.

Lol Yankee! I hate Britts hair. You know you can comb a weave. I love the color though.

Can Natasha make a career out of modeling when her head can only go this way or this way?

They need to teach those girls how to style their new hair. I liked Natasha's when it was first done, but I think it need to be flat-ironed to lay right. Britt and her weave are just sad... Dionne finally got it right and looked wonderful last night.

I thought Natasha looked fabulous when she had her hair in a ponytail and was studying the fashion magazines. She should wear it that way to panel.

Yeah, Natasha is growing on me. Sounds like she has a good relationship with her husband and the age diff matters not if they are in love.

I agree, Denecee. While I think it's very easy (particularly those from the western culture) to snicker and/or dismiss a "mail order bride" or arranged marriages, she and her husband seem to have a good relationship and to be truly in love. And I'm cool with that.

I think that Natasha works the hardest at improving her modeling. Nigel had it right when he commented on how charming she was. It is sort of refreshing. Brit looked better with short hair. The weave really looks fake, plus it probably doesn't help to have all that styling constantly. The lady from Elite had it right with Jael, she would say 'next' if Jael came in on a go see. Dionne looked like a completely different person at the panel. Beautiful. I like Sarah, but she appears to be a bit too perky to me. However, I loved when she was reading Tyra mail and her hair was standing straight up. Jaslene is just beautiful and takes gorgeous pictures. Always very interesting. However, I see a problem when they do the commercial tests or interviews where they have to talk. Whitney has some real inner beauty that shows through. I agree, it is hard to model as a man. How often will they have to do that in real life? Renee is just so snarky, I cannot comment any further on her. Tyra and the panel want individuality in their models, yet they all have to dress the same. I did not understand why Jaslene had to remove her belt. I thought it looked very model-esqe.

I like Natasha more and more. She is so upbeat and positive and she tries very hard. Her modeling is definitely improving. It sounds like her husband loves and cares about her and that she loves and cares about him. I know about the mail order bride part and the age difference, but if they have found love then I am very happy for them.

I hate Natashas hair, looked better before. I agreed with her when she was slammed for praising the bad outfit. I thought models were supposed to love what designers put them in and not critize. I didnt remember she had a kid either I thought as a man Dionne looked like Chris rock

Lurkin, I thought Dionne looked like Harold Perrineau (Michael in "Lost") when he was in "Romeo and Juliet". But I see the Chris Rock resemblance, too. Natasha is also growing on me. At first I thought she was acting the baby-voiced bimbo-esque girl, but she really does seem genuine. Her rapper photo with the gum wrapper tooth cap cracked me up. I agree, Yankee, with the sarcasm directed at Tyra re: her "dream" of having two full-figured models. Although I think Renee was being a b***h in telling Diana a plus-size would never win ANTM, I agree that that day still seems a long way off.

I totally enjoyed this week; everyone is making a conscious effort to improve. Loved Natasha the most on Wed night I was surprised she knew so much about the HIP-HOP attitude. What I didn’t like was the assumptions made about her married life; they wondered if she is even married and suggested her relationship with her husband is suspicious because she is not wearing a wedding band. Yet those two are not brave enough to ask her face to face. Natasha is aware that something is up and the girls are not sincere towards her; hence the crying on the phone to her husband. I hope she is in final 3! Jaslene is still my favorite.

Has anyone noticed if Natasha has a ring on the right hand? I've known a few Russian women, and they wear their wedding bands on the right hand, not left. Maybe she IS wearing her wedding band but the girls don't know that it's on the other hand...?

Trini, Jaslene is one of my two favourites, too (other is Brittany), but something tells me she won't win. With the way they're working the editing, Jaslene is doing so well that she may be the red herring this season. It seems that in the past shows they always have a talented forerunner, and then pull out the rug from beneath the girl at the end. I remember they did that to Elyse, Yaya and Melrose. If Jaslene were to win, I think they'd be making her progress a lot more doubtful-looking. I still don't get Sarah's presence. She is like a perky Meg Ryanish Anne Heche. When ever a judge/photographer/designer speaks to her, she gapes and then bobs her head several time like a grinning bobblehead. Has anyone with a young baby ever won on one of these types of shows? I still can't get over the fact that Renee left behind her 7 month-old. I hope she doesn't chain-smoke like that around the baby. For herself alone, if Renee wants to be a model, she ought to quit because she's going to age herself awfully quickly.

I cant believe as materialist as Natasha seems that in order to marry anyone, let alone IF she were a mail order bride, she would want a diamond ring. but I thought maybe she wouldnt wear it for modeling purposes if she left it on they may make a big deal out of the picture for instance I could see tyra say "why would a baby doll wear a wedding ring" I'm sorry I just dont see it in Jael. Forgive me she looks like a Heroin addict ad would be about all she could pose for. She definately looked better with blond hair, but her skin looks bad just not modelish I agree with ya Jodi about Sarahl. She sorta looks like the smart impish 7th grader & Dionne does look like that guy, but I know him from the HBO prision show. Looks to me like the Whitney & Dionne pics at top are reversed. Whitney looks really thin and DI looks a little heavy. Appreciate the pix at top very much. only way I can get them straight

Lurkin, - OZ? It was a sad, sad day for me when that series was over. I agree Jael's skin is bad. I thought Diana's was, too.

landed a very supportive husband If I LOOKED like that I could have found a sugardaddy TOO! I am so surprised you guys are falling for the act. I dont believe it at all. Married but chose not to wear her ring so it wouldnt cause trouble for modeling. ALSO how would the others respond if she had a HUGE rock on her finger? it also could sway the judges opinion. I wish I had the episode on tape. IF she has a baby at home and didnt tell anyone, it shows how she has a 'plan' that she is enacting. However, maybe It was a bird sqawk LOL anyways, I cant stand Natasha's personality. it seems just like a few fakes I used to work with. Putting on an act for the camera. Faking that she doesnt understand stuff yet obviously does when push comes to shove during the actual photo shoot. That phonecall with the husband was kind of creepy as well in my opinion. When someone is so much older I dont find calling them "baby" appealing. It is like they are being kept subservient. 18 yrs old/ over 40 yrs old. YEAH she was a BABY practically LOL Rant over...Sorry, the whole situation grosses me out. Someone said something earlier about the two of them being in love. Ah....it was an internet arrangment. but then again, I read somewhere that some women can fall in love with a guy after the fact if he has tons of money and treats her right.

Just because someone doesn't wear a ring on the third finger of the left hand does not mean that person is not married. Some people just prefer not to wear rings. Isn't it bad enough that the girls on this season are being so catty? Many times, the bios for contestants on many reality shows are "fudged" (for example, the bio may say the person is from Boston, but that person has actually lived in LA for the past five years). It could also be Natasha's choice (along with her husband) to not bring her child into the show with her (she has a right to preserve her privacy and I'd respect that right). I knew right away that Diane or Whitney would be going as soon as Renee told Whitney she'd never be a "real" model. Who died and gave Renee the Model Goddess reins? She seems to be extra snarky, like the producers really needed a snark figure to dislike. I dunno about Jasleene... I'm not really a fan. I think she photographs great, but I don't like her "look" when she's not in front of the camera, nor do I like her personality. I was really sorry to see Diane go. I'd have loved to see two fuller-figured women go farther. I think Diane really had some self-esteem issues, and wish she could've said something to Jay that was a bit more inspired than "just 'cause!" It must be tough as hell to live in a house with a cadre of ultra-thin women (and um, sorry, but if those girls are 5'10 and 125 lbs, then my scales are seriously wrong cause I don't look like that!).

I love when my man calls me baby and I love doing the same. Has nothing to do with being subservient. It's an endearment.

People constantly talk about how when it comes to finding a mate, appearance is a lower priority for them than other qualities like humor and intelligence, etc. In fact, men are often labeled as shallow because the suggestion is that they care too much about how a woman looks. However, the first thing that often happens when someone sees a younger woman with an older man is various comments about "ick". All of a sudden it is all about physical. How could she truly love him? Natasha calls her husband and from their conversation and the limited information the show has given us, it sounds like he is very loving, supportive and encouraging. If he wanted to dominate her and keep her to himself, he would have discouraged her or done everything he could to prevent her from going on a show like America's Next Top Model. The fact he didn't doesn't sound too icky to me.
