Of the two, I thought Melrose was the prettier model. I was bummed she lost but happy for Caridee.

Chili, Melrose was cast as the house witch throughout the show and almost all of the girls "hated" her. It didn't help that she won most of the competitions and never seemed to try to make any friends (well at least that is how it was edited to seem)

I thought Melrose should've won, specifically because she had a different look. I also think she has the most passion, and she really had a lot of hurdles to overcome. The hatred that was aimed towards her just appalled me. And Caridee's whisper to Eugenia as E was getting kicked out was truly embarrassing. I didn't think Caridee had much class or respect, and I hope she learns how to act. (Her comment to Nigel was seriously inappropriate!) Technically, this season was a bust. Melrose won most of the competitions. Clearly, she was a winner. But apparently, that didn't matter when it came to the final judging. I'd bet it really doesn't matter though. Melrose has a great look. And she's not going to be bound by contract to Cover Girl (Cover Girl??? Eeesh!) or Seventeen magazine. I'd bet Melrose gets signed by someone right away, and gets work right away. I also predict she'll have more staying power than Caridee. By this time next year, Caridee will have faded into the background and will be remembered only if she's brought back in during the next cycle! (FWIW, I didn't watch any of this season until this weekend, when VH1 or whoever it was ran a Cycle 7 marathon. So naturally, I hadda DVR last night's ep to see who ended up in the finalsj!)

I guess there burning my audition tape! I think it starts in January Sun. And what was the purpose of the life coach? I did enjoy the runway show, it was so different, it seemed funny, but Caridee was OTT.

the airbrushing was REALLY obvious to me in the finale...I know they always do it...but I was noticing how bad the skin was on Melrose and Eugenia....tons ad tons of birthmarks and spots all over their face and necks, and not ONE in their photos...wow..they seriously didnt look like the same people, even their whole skin tone was completely different...its almost as if the airbrusher should win, since he/she is the one doing most of the work!

I was soooo happy that Caridee won. I wasn't so sure after the runway show though. However the winner of ANTM is going to get a spread in Seventeen magazine and a Cover Girl contract and I thought Caridee did look the best in the photographs. Doing runway shows would just be a perk to winning the show. A friend at work made the comment that Melrose looked a little dragish in her photos and I could see that in some of them. I guess I am just tired of seeing the more unique/odder looking models win. Caridee to me is refreshing in her girl next door look. I'm not saying every girl should look like that but once in awhile it's ok. I also think that Melrose's diva attitude during the first show may have turned some people off to her. Plus I'm sure her consistantly winning challenges didn't help and some people were jealous of her but she would be so upset when she didn't win a challenge too. I didn't like how she yelled at Caridee last night during the runway show. Caridee didn't step on Melrose's dress on purpose. It was an accident. Just like when Tyra lost her shoe dancing with Ms. J, she kept on going. I'm surprised they didn't bring that up during the judging.

It seems like throughout the entire show, Nigel did not like Melrose at all. Even at the end, when it looked like Melrose had it, Nigel kept pointing out all her problems. I also wonder if they get some input from Cover Girl and Seventeen about who they want since they are also part of the prize. It's not like the winners are really in the top model category. The only time I ever see them is either on Tyra's show or coming back the following season to give the girls 'advice'. Other than Adrienne, who is better known for snagging a Brady, where are the other winners?

Did anyone see that Melrose had THREE people fanning her after the runway show? Bwahahaha!! I guess that girl has not lost her divaness from the first epi! I guess I am just tired of seeing the more unique/odder looking models win. Caridee to me is refreshing in her girl next door look. I completely agree. Refreshing is the perfect word. I love her bubbly personality. She just seemed so mush more sincere than Melrose. Honestly, Melrose doesn't seem "real" to me. IMO or from "what I have perceived" about her is that she always has this facade in front of the judges. Back at the house she was unfriendly and isolated herself voluntarily. I was rather annoyed that she won so many challenges. I think it was because of her arrogance about it all. She would give unsolicited advice to the other girls as if she were better than they were. (I cannot stand when people do that) Her reactions were priceless when she wouldn't win a challenge! It's like give me a break Melrose! You just won two in a row and you're INSULTED that you didn't win a third? Get over yourself! I guess I never liked the girls who take the "competition" part of the experience too seriously. I remember on Last season of Top Chef that Tiffany girl would always say "I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to compete" ARGH! I can't stand that thinking. Just because you're competing does not mean that you have to sacrifice potential friendships or "shut out" the competition. I respect Melrose for her ability to model, but I do think that she could have handled life in the house better.

Did anyone see when Caridee got cold in the pool and had THREE people pulling her out?

Well, I'd like to see someone by themselves try to pulls out a full grown woman who has about 50-75 extra pounds on her because of her wet gown.... I sure wouldn't be able to do it alone. Plus, trying to do it from that angle (Pulling her from farther down than you are actually standing) would make it extra hard.

Top Model 7 girls blame editing for anti-Melrose comments, Caridee’s run-in with Nigel Normally, blaming the editing is a convenient way to get out of taking responsiblity for one’s behavior, but considering that the Top Model 7 story editors went on strike during production, E! Online’s Kristin talked to several of the contestants this season and asked them about our perceptions. First, she reports that “Melrose is not nearly as hated as the show made her out to be.” Surprisingly, Kristin writes, Eugena and Melrose both “told me separately that they’re actually—hope you’re sitting down for this—friends.” In fact, Eugena says that many of her anti-Melrose remarks were taken out of context. “It’s funny to see the edited version, which was completely different than what we actually went through. I’d be watching the show and think, ‘I was talking about my dinner! Not Melrose!” she said. Melrose, by the way, is glad CariDee won. “It was difficult at first, because I had put so much into it, but everything happens for a reason. Now, I’m free to do all the things I’m interested in, like designing and hopefully hosting. I want to hook up with Entertainment Tonight,” Melrose told Kristin. Now, she’s returned to her roots and “signed on to design clothes for [actor] Michelle [Rodriguez]’s line, Ishkidada.” Perhaps more interestingly, CariDee says that her smart-ass comment to Nigel wasn’t really a big deal. Instead, “It was edited dramatically for the suspense, I guess,” CariDee says. In fact, “Nigel actually joked back [when I said that to him].” That makes sense, considering how awkward the editing of that whole scene—and her subsequent scoldings from Tyra and Jay—were. Link

Okay, so from those picks, it would appear that Whitney and Diana will be tagged "the plus size" models. To me, they both look normal and the rest of them look hungry. Whatever. Unless they have totally abrasive personalities, I'll be pullin' for them!

Jael looks more like a pinup shot than a model shot. They say it is a fine line but she looks like the next shot in the magazine would have the staple in the navel.

You can tell by her arms and legs that she is thin, but that white dress makes her look thick through the middle, she look exactly right in the black. I wanted her to win, but she seems to be able to find work anyway.

sighhhhhhhhh I wish I was tall. Look at where her elbows are compared to her waist!! I swear my elbows are like two inches ABOVE my waist. LOL yeah yeah, I got short plump legs too. Even when I was thin I didnt look that good as I am only 5'2. On the Canadian network they are showing last Year's Canadian Top Model. The new show is taping right now I'm sure.
