I know this may sound awful, but with all the shows where they go on and on about being a "Cover Girl" and having to be a spokesperson... I can't understand 1/2 of what Jaslene says in her commercials.

Tero -- I agree about Jaslene. She is just gorgeous, but I can't stand the way she talks. I have trouble understanding her too.

Saleisha won last week as well, where she got a $1000 shopping spree at Old Navy. It's a real shame Saleisha won these challenges when Bianca deserved to win. Or at least that's what Bianca thinks! lol

Jaslene looks great in her pics but when she talks in the commercials it sounds sooo stoic or weird...maybe 'cause I can't understand!

I was okay with who got knocked off last night, thank god they rerun it, my son was bugging me the whole time I missed the drama and attitudes!

Is English Jaslene's first language? Or did she grow up speaking Spanish? To me she does not sound like a native English speaker. I speak German and Italian, but I am sure I would be completely unintelligible if I were on German or Italian TV!

I thought they would've given Jaslene diction lessons but I guess not. Lots of good photos from the rockwall shoot though. But I thought they would've kept Kimberly.

I lived in S Florida for a long time so understanding a Latin/Spanish/Cuban/PR accent is not a problem. Jaslene reminds me of someone who either has a speech impediment or just go dental work done.

To me Jaslene sounds like she has some kind of hybrid Spanish-New York accent or something. Either one alone I would probably be fine with, but whatever combo she has just drives me nuts. I could understand the Russian girl Natasha better than I can Jaslene.

To me Jaslene's speach reminds me of someone who has a hearing impediment and talks. I have been around deaf people who used sign and speach to communicate, but they couldn't hear. Jaslene sounds just like them to me.

I'm just really not understanding their decision to pick both Mila and Kimberly. Throughout the whole audition process I just could not see them as models.

LOL I must have a good eye cuz those were the first 2 girls booted from ANTM! I think that Spunky was probably right:

The reason they picked some not so good looking ones or not having the right looks is because they need some for easy eliminations at the beginning.

Bianca's photo this week was horrible! I cannot believe that they were able to find even one good thing about it. I don't know why I never paid attention to Chantal, but I like her!!!

I loved loved loved Victoria's photo. There is some expression from her eyes that just cuts through me.

Jaslene was from last year's comp. She was my very least favorite and I wouldn't mind not hearing about her all the time.

I enjoyed Jaslene.

Sun-Yes there are other photos in the house I just can't remember who.

I really like Chantal and I'm so pulling for Heather.

I am so over Bianca and wished she would have left this week! She is a pretty girl but her attitude makes her ugly. She made comments about doing what she needed to keep Heather from winning the competition after she did so well in the photoshoot which sounded like sabotage instead of concentrating on herself,listening to the judges & working hard to make sure she does the best photos.
Did anyone else see how bony Ebony was when she walked up in front of the judges? Her shoulders and collarbone area seemed almost skeletal to me. She needs a little meat on her bones!
I can't for next week's makeovers. I wonder who's head gets shaved.

Sportygirl, I have two choices who might get their head shaved. First I think it will be Ambreal, because she totally has that African Queen look about her. She would look beautiful with or without her hair. Second it might be Bianca, because she is to attached to her hair. So they might do it to her, to see how bad she really wants it and to make her step out of her comfort zone/full of self-importance attitude. That is just how I speculate and the reasons behind it.

I really think Heather is pulling her own weight in this show and she is proving everyone she is competition too. She might have Aspergers, but she is pulling the disability card. Everyone else is making an issue of it. She is working her butt off. One thing I know about Aspergers and Autism, (my best friends daughter is Autistic, Aspergers and PDD), is that they are sponges. They soak everything and everyone in. Even when Heather isn't doing anything, she is learning. I love Heather's photos. She is my favorite.

Dolphin, Don't you mean that Heather is NOT pulling the disability card? I really see her as having a lot of strength living amongst these self-absorbed girls. She acknowledges that she does have issues and setbacks, but continues to give it her best.

In the world of modeling, dealing with disabilities that really push on your insecurities is amazing to me. People with Aspbergers are completely aware that they are "different" and may have mannerisms that set them apart. I really admire Heather for choosing to do anyways the last thing people might expect from her.

Heather is my favourite, too. i just love her eyes. Victoria comes into a close second. Bianca's personality makes her ugly, however lovely her physical appearance may be.

Thanks Jodied, that is what I mean. She is NOT pulling the disability card. I didn't proof read before I posted. I agree, Heather has beautiful eyes and you can see how beautiful she is deep down through them clearly too. Some people hide their eyes and some people just shine. Heather's shine with her inner beauty. It is funny how Heather is also fixated on eyes, studying them and drawing them and it is her eyes that stand out the most.

Thanks for catching my blooper in the post.

I'm starting to like Saleisha more. She's coming across as a nice gal and she's seems prettier in a natural way every time I see her. I'm over Bianca also. Gosh, she is one mean-spirited girl.

Was Kimberly the one who walked so horrible @ the beginning of the show. Who was that gal that looked like her legs were on backwards, lol. She was an awful walker. I think it was Kimberly, but not sure.

Jaslene's commercials irritate me. Along with her accent (which drives me nuts), it seems as if she's yelling her lines. Not impressed with her voice at all (she should stick to print or runway, where the public doesn't have to listen to her).

I'm loving Heather. She's really taking gorgeous pictures. I give her full props for going into this thing (it can't be easy, even if you don't have a disability of some kind).

I've decided both Bianca and Ebony could go and I wouldn't miss either one of them. Bianca is just plain mean. And I feel like Ebony is pulling the "lacking self confidence" card to the judges (wasn't she the one who was all cocky the first ep?).

I like Lisa and Saleisha, but I think the both have much the same "look" (at least now, before the makeovers).

Victoria is pretty, but I don't think she'll be around much longer.

As for the rest, I have a hard time remember who's who!

I agree with everything Costa said lol. Though I think I prefer Lisa over Saleisha.

Wish BIanca had gone instead of Kimberly.

And IMO ANTM should be a great spokesperson- Jaslene is not that. I do not understand why she won.

I like Heather, too. She takes beautiful photos.

Bianca needs to go ...

I'm not feeling Saleisha either. She's entirely too cocky and condescending for my taste.

I like Ambreal's look.

geesh, I guess I am the lone dissenter As usual.

I DO think that Heather played the Disability card. There is no reason to tell people about your health if it is not an issue to the Competition.

The sightImpaired model (my brain has drawn a blank as to the name) needed to tell so that others could be helpful to her and NOT move her stuff around in the washroom etc.

Mercedes did not tell everyone if i recall correctly. After a while it was noticed how many meds she was taking, then she mentioned it offhandedly.

anyways, Got a bad headache and probably not being clear.

I see Heather staying til at least final Five.

Not sure if they can get her past there since her posture is NOT something that can be fixed.

well, maybe with TONS of chiropractic for a few months...but it is hell. I oughta know.

I actually thought Heather's posture had improved a good bit from the very first episode to this one.

As far as "playing the disability card", we don't know what made her tell Tyra she had Aspberger's. It could have been a response to one of Tyra's questions, who knows? Tyra was the one who told the other judges, not Heather. And she didn't really tell the girls in the house about it until they all started making comments about her behavior. I haven't seen Heather ask for or expect any special treatment because of her condition, she has merely explained why she may seem a bit "different" to others.
