I agree Sun, that excuse for Renee sucked. If they thought that all along why keep her? did they think she would get younger every week???

I am glad Jasleen won...last nite Renee looked older than Tyra. I wonder if they shot her in bad lighting to empahsis the oldness in her face.

Tyra looked beautiful with her hair up. I hate that ash blonde straight hair on her, it actually makes her look old!

LOL ALison!

Jaslene and Natasha both seem to be nice attractive pleasant people and I'm happy for Jaslene that she won. Plus Renee was certainly portrayed as having a nasty streak.

However, IMO it was absolutely obvious that Renee was far and away the best model – it was not even close. If I were looking for someone to model for me I would pick her in a second over the others. Plus the reason that they gave for rejecting her at that stage of the competition was ridiculous and cruel.

I think Renee looked tired during her elimination. I'm not thrilled with Jaslene -- I never thought she was all that pretty, and I can't stand her voice. I'm sure she's a nice person, but I don't think she's top model quality.

I didn't think Natasha would win it either, which is why I was so shocked that Renee was eliminated. I thought Renee had the far better body and she had lovely features (very symmetrical, unlike the other two).

Oh well. WhatEVER! I am clearly not the target demo for Cover Girl. And the "top models" never really are "top models" anyways!

Elyse from cycle 1 has been very successful in the modeling world. I really admire her, anybody ever look at her pictures and blogs?

http://elysesewell.livejournal.com/

I am still very cynical that an ANTM contestant could have a baby and be the winner. I loved how gracefully Natasha took her loss and was happy to return to her family. I also loved how she called herself an American and meant it. Did anything she did in the finale change your mind about her, Sunshyne?

Jaslene is a cute, spirited woman and I'm sure she'll get a little work here and there. But I'm also sure she'll disappear as all the other winners have until she's called upon by Tyra.

I think Elyse has done well in Asia. She is not AMERICA'S "top model."

True, I guess. But she IS a working model. I wonder what her fate would have been if she'd won (and I thought she should have).

I agree with some previous posts
Thought Jas had the drag queen look as they stated but in the modeling world that can be a plus at times. she is extremely thin

I thought part of Natasha not winning may have been because she had a child and the agency may thought she wouldnt be decdicated. I still liked her look better with blond hair

Thought Rene was the best. she was definately good in commercials. maybe the being a mom hurt her too

I have seen Ann and Kim in some ads and on some other reality tv shows modeling Amanda has done some local commericals here. I think some of the "losers" have done several things

If "being a mom" was an issue, then they should never allow moms to apply to be on the show.

Personally, I think it's a non-issue. There are plenty of models who have kids. And plenty of supermodels (can you say Heidi Klum?). If the contestants weren't willing to "sacrifice" for their kids (and they all said they were doing this for their families), then they wouldn't be on the show.

But those supermodels didn't start their careers with kids. And all the "supermodels" are in their mid-30s and 40s now.

I dunno, it seems suspiscious to me. And I don't think the producers could deny chances to mothers, could they? Would that be discrimination?

I remember being surprised when they talked about one of them being on the cover of Seventeen magazine because honestly, they're ALL too old for it!

I don't think Renee has to worry - she'll get plenty of work from this.

I loved how gracefully Natasha took her loss and was happy to return to her family.

no more gracefully than any other loser from any other season. I thought it strange that she didnt do the usual spiel how this was going to be a first step and we'd see her be successful too.

I also loved how she called herself an American and meant it. Did anything she did in the finale change your mind about her, Sunshyne

Thx for asking Jodied. Nope, fake fake fake. LOL

I thought she sounded defensive when commenting on whether she felt she should be allowed to be on the show when she was really Russian. Of course she considers herself American now as I am sure she has citizenship.

I'd love to know how come she left her family so young and ended up in Moscow supposedly with no money. she had Nothing she kept saying.

Bet it would have been interesting to know how she survived and how she got her ticket out of Russia.

I think that lots of comments probably ended up on the cutting room floor. I really was left wanting to know more details about people.

I wanted Natasha to win :-( I hated Renee's attitude and did not like Jaslene at all. Jaslene really grated on me with her fakeness and voice.. I do not see her doing well at all. I think others this season will fare better in the end.

I don't think she meant being an American as being a person with a green card. I think she meant that being a "real" American no longer has the meaning of having to be born there; because The States has so many immigrants - their "Melting Pot" - that they have changed the definition of old. The feeling I got was that Natasha felt she had as much right to call herself an American as any of the other girls because she felt she belonged there and was loved there. NOT that she married an American and has the papers.

I see your point and I had a different take on the comments.

****
yeah, I agree. Jaslene had a very affected way of talking. Like she was really slowing it down and trying to enounciate (sp!?) each word.

But I just assumed it was because of her strong accent and fast paced normal speaking voice.

Thanks Lady.

And I do have to say... I think Natasha really is a genuine person. I think she's got a positive outlook. I really enjoyed reading her interview. And y'know what? She's right... being runner up ain't half bad. If she plays her cards right, she could do better than the winner.

snip* I decided to go there because I didn’t have anything to do, it was the middle of August. So I just drove a hundred miles there


natasha is married with a young baby? And she had nothing to do? Must have a nanny or something I guess.


just me and Jaslene. There was no tension, there was nothing bad. There was just positive, good relationship with her. We were like two girlfriends still in the competition,

I realize that the interview is Natasha's perspective but I feel it is a great example of how unrealistic, nonattentive and egocentric she seems and portrayed on the show.

Jaslene made her feelings clear, so did Renee. Natasha is fabricating stuff for the interview to make herself look a certain way.

final thoughts.....I think Natasha should try Acting. She has the looks and bubbly personality which would work well on screen. She also seems to be able to act really well.
