What? No East Coast comments on the premiere? Inquiring minds want to know! It doesn't start here for an hour! (Oh, Jimmer is probably watching the game, but the rest of you... !)

Actually, I did watch the show. Call me crazy but I love photography. I thought that Jay did a good job hosting. The pictures were so so. I'm not really into heavy make-up and they were very made-up. It was a nude photo shoot as well. The lowest two were Steff and Mika with Mika going home. Steff's picture was awful - possibly the worst I've seen on one of these shows, but Mika just wasn't into it at all and it was obvious that Steff was really trying and maybe had a bad day. So they kept Steff (much to her great relief). So I enjoyed the show and now I am watching the hockey game!

I thought all the pics were awful except for Rebecca, her face looked amazing. And they must have done a lot of airbrushing because I noted a lot of bad skin, not surprising I guess considering what they were eating. I love Jay, and wasn't Yasmin stunning? I thought he did a good job, I hope he shows up on some shoots though instead of just Nole. They are a quirky bunch. It must be a big coup for them to get Paul Alexander for a regular judge. It's all a learning process I look forward to the next several weeks.

hmmmm guess i'm the lone dissenter as usual. Jay was stilted and appeared to be reading cue cards or something LOL he didnt seem his usual self...maybe they kept telling him he was talking too fast or something because it seemed....sooooooooo.....slow. anyways, liked Mika and thought that she had some issues that held her back. She should have at least tried to be nice to the other girls instead of standoffish. I didnt like the 'proving her dad wrong' stuff. Guess her dad was right as she was first off. Really thought a couple of the girls were unhealthy looking. Too slim, opaque teeth (a sign of bulemia/ poor nutrition) and lack of muscle tone/ shape. Of course I'll continue watching but as of this point I have Zero favourites and frankly dont give a hoot who wins the comp. And last but not least, Jeanne Beker did her usual stuff which I find completely irritating and unattractive. If anyone needs a makeover it is she. What is with that lipstick? Looks like she has a slash on her face. yeah I know, time to quit posting LOL

I love Jay and I'm willing to give him some slack at appearing a little tense, it was all bad news he was giving out. He'll hit his stride I'm sure. (don't start me on Jeanne) But what about the photos Sun?

OMG! the teeth on those girls, like none of them took time to care for their teeth. Is that why in their care bags there are white strips? And last but not least, Jeanne Beker did her usual stuff which I find completely irritating and unattractive. If anyone needs a makeover it is she. What is with that lipstick? Looks like she has a slash on her face. I totally agree!!!!!!!!! why the dead straight weave implants...why?????

I really liked Cori, the girl who was called first. I actually was amazed that Mo wasn't in the bottom two, let alone eliminated. She looked completely ridiculous with that crazy smile on her face. I think Jacqueline was very pretty - but I hope her need to "tone up" is not going to be an ongoing issue. I hate the hair on the factory worker. As for Jay, I think the directors had a lot to do with his stilted performance. I was getting really annoyed at all the loooooonnnnggg pauses when he was calling their names. I was like, gimme a break, and just say it! I love that Nole is back, still dislike Jeanne (I realized her voice also irritates me), thought Yasmin didn't do much besides sit like a mannequin, and last but not least, I LOVE Stacey Mackenzie and I want to see much more of her.

Here's my beef: I knew that I wouldn't see the premiere episode on Wednesday so I avoided coming to this thread, didn't go to other websites, asked people at work not to talk about it around me because I would watch the show on Sunday evening. Well, for the past couple of weeks, pictures of all the girls have been posted in the subway station in my city. And lo and behold on Thursday afternoon I see a big red X through Mika's poster! Daggummit! Anyhoo, the stylist from BNTM is Hilary Alexander. I do agree that some stylists don't seem to have a lot of personal style.

Cori's posture could sure use some work though, n'est-ce pas! but I am all for her as she is from Val Caron which is next door to my home town

I think he is proud of his past accomplishments and a confident energetic person. I guess whether that translates to being "completely full of oneself" is a manner of perspective, though I think that for some reason, pride and self-confidence have become almost negative qualities in North American society today.

I didn't get that from the article at all. With Tricia Helfer, I doubt they would have asked her back, I thought she was a terrible hostess, good actress though from what I have seen of her. I'm thrilled to see it will be airing elsewhere. I have faith in Jay that he will settle in to this roll and it will be a great season. On BNTM - I like the second season hostess Lisa Butcher better than the first season Lisa and Erika (?)on AusNTM is really good as well. Jay could pick up some tips from them. Lisa/Erika seem to be having a ball, she really tells it like it is as does Lisa. I actually prefer Lisa over Tyra.

Good ep tonight but think Stef should have gone. The photographer at the shoot even said she was just not photogenic. The show seemed much more at ease than the first ep. The judging panel seemed a lot more loose tonight as well. The hour went by so quick. I always like the makeover show.

I enjoyed the show again this week. I liked most of the makeovers which is unusual. I was very impressed with how well Sinead handled having her hair cut that short. She looks fantastic and importantly she has embraced her new look. She is my favorite. Steff is a mystery to me. She looks good a lot of the time throughout the show but it doesn't come through in her photographs. Also I don't see what they see in Rebecca. Fun show though and I'm happy we are getting a Canadian version.

same here! I really liked all of the Makeovers. Usually I complain about how a few of the girls are 'ruined' LOL You know, I dont understand how Steff is constantly taking a bad pic. This is the second week in which she juts out her chin and looks angry. Her bone structure is too strong to do the "chin first" pose. But seriously, WHY arent they doing a better job of directing her? You can hear other girls being told to lean back, lean forward, tip their head, chin down, chin up ETC. I really find it hard to believe that Steff's pic ws the "best one". anyways, I really didnt know who was going home tonight. Usually I have it narrowed down to two girls but I really didnt have a clue. Steff looks like a Model in real life but WOW she looked severe in the pic. The girl that went took a pleasant pic but other than stunning eyes and even features, she was not memorable. I liked the idea of using dead fish/ seafood. It was quite inventive IMHO.

I actually LOVED Steff's pic this week, almost more than all the others', apart from Cori's. She is my favourite. I still don't understand how Mo wasn't even in the bottom two. She is still, in my opinion, taking the worst pictures. But what do I know.... I agree with you, Jimmer, about Rebecca. I don't see it either. And I can't believe she was that upset about her makeover. She looks about a thousand times better with the shorter red hair. And Jay mentioned her weak chin, and I noticed that from the start. Very small mouth and weak chin. She is different, though, so I guess that may be what they're looking for. Too bad about Jacqueline. She had kind of a Brooke Shields/Rachel Hunter thing going on. Tia's got attitude. She reminds me of Amanda Peet.

I'm really really liking this season, and I am going to go down right now as saying I think Jay Manuel is the best Top Model host ever, among the versions I've seen: America's, Britain's, Australia's and last season's Canada's. (Yes I still think he was a little full of himself in the TV Guide story, but he comes across really well on the show).

I don't recall any comments on why the girl fainted.. it happened before on the American show... The judges didn't comment afterward, or so it seems.. maybe a sugar level problem... It happened on the American show as well... those girls don't eat...

I'm really enjoying this season's CNTM!! Pleasantly surprised as I found the first season seemed 'low budget' but this season they're not, yay!

Another good show tonight. They sure covered a lot of stuff. Skating, runway and a commercial. I see Sinead as the clear front-runner but the front-runner never seems to end up winning these darn things.

Sinead has an interesting face (although I would do something to her eyebrow, arch it a bit..), the short haircut is classy but the body is not quite for a top model... whereas Tara has the body (best walk as well)but her face lacks something, or may need a lot of makeup to make it stand out... We need a girl that has the perfect combination, face and body, but I don't see her... (let alone personality)...

I liked Mo much better after this episode. The girl with the dimples bugs me, even more than Tara. Rebecca is still completely lost on me. I don't get what they see in her.
