Bianca's hair is not going to grow out that quickly. Our hair has a different rate of growth. I didn't see the makeover part so I can't give my opinion on whether it needed to be shaved or not. But I'm betting on not. The only reason I can think of for shaving is if she had bald spots.

Good point about how Bianca's hair will not grow out quickly. I don't like the shaved look on her, she looks a lot like a boy with that "style." Her prominent features already stood out to me before they shaved her head, so that was not something that was gained to me. Some women can do the shaved look and it does indeed look regal, i.e. Ambreal can get away with it with her features, & it looked awesome on Nnenna from a past season, because they do have that African Queen look & appeal to them, but to me, Bianca doesn't have regal facial features to pull that haircut off. She doesn't have that African Queen look, so she comes off looking like a boy. However, I think Bianca has pretty features, very large prominent ones, & they were evident to me before the cut, just not in a regal way to support that sort of style. I just don't get their purpose.

I noticed the sneer too Sporty.If you take away the elaborate makeup and costume, that was a bad picture.

I thought they showed a clump come out and all you could see was her scalp. editing could have placed the not enough drama comment before her hair scene.

Mocha, Bianca's hair was breaking very close to the scalp. It really did look like they didn't have a whole lot of choice. I think if they'd done another procedure on her hair that would've been it, and she would've been bald anyways. Her hair really looked damaged all the way down.

Stacey, I was checking over in the Boston Legal thread to see if you posted there. I had a question about Aspberger's. Do you watch Boston Legal?

Pamy, the wig that was glued to a model's head was Ebony's (not Bianca's). But yeah... eeesh! Speaking of Ebony, I'm not seeing what the judges see in her. Pretty much ANYONE can take a pretty picture with the right makeup, lighting, and clothing. I agree about the sneer, and I've seen it on her more than once. (And that sneer kinda is opposite of how she comes across at judging, which makes me think of fishy things!)

Stacey, please come over to Boston Legal for a sec. I had posted a question wondering how realistic Jerry ("Hands") portrayal of Aspberger's really is. jodie

Anyone know who got booted tonight? On another note, if you have any questions about asperger's syndrome, ask me.

Jay said on the make-over episode that if they did anything to Bianca's hair, what was left would fall out. They seemed to think that her hair was so badly damaged that this was healthier for her hair in the long run. Janet got booted, I think partly because she just wasn't posing well in the photos and Jay said she needed to be constantly directed.

I don't understand why being afraid of heights would put you in the bottom 2. Jay did say that her face was the same in every shot. Maybe that was more of the problem. Unfortunately, Ebony did well, so she'll be there awhile.

I'm surprised that so many dislike Chantal's hair. I think her bangs suit her face very well. Although sometimes they can seem a bit long, they give her such a "fresh faced" look. I just adore her hairstyle! I just cannnot believe that about Nigel!!!! I have always thought that out of ALL of the judges he seemed the most respectful and professional. I could very well be wrong....however I would never straight out believe these models. One needs to hear all of the facts from both sides. April COULD be speaking truth and Nigel COULD be a sleaze. But what if he's not? That is a serious ACCUSATION. If she is lying (and that is an equal possibility) his reputation could be unfairly damaged. I worry because so much of what poeple say these days is a manipulation for attention. Just because someone claims something in the public doesn't make it anywhere near the truth. I'm not absolving Nigel in anyway. He may or may not be a guilty party. I just don't want to see him maligned and people to see him differently without looking more into the situation.

nigel seems to pick one girl each season to gush compliments over. ....now maybe I'm wrong...but it seems to me that each judge has had their "favorites". To me it is very noticeable when they are championing one specific girl and I do not think Nigel has been the only one to do it. IMO "gush" is a bit strong. (I swear I'm not trying to be rude or start any fights!) I have seen him favor and compliment certain girls but never in a inappropriate fashion. His compliments have always related to the modeling and or personality of the girl. CariDee is one that I noticed he seemed to be backing. I liked her so much that I was glad that he was championing her cause! One season Tyra chopped a girls hair off. IMO it looked horrible!!! But Tyra always said "You should be grateful that I thought you had strong enough features to pull this off". Every judging I could not believe how much Tyra complimented her. (obviously I thought it was undeserved) From what I could tell she showed obvious favor toward this girl. Gosh...I wish I could remember her name. Oh well....not the point! Again, I have seen the other judges favor and compliment specific girls as well.

I think Ebony has a better face than they are giving her credit for. She has cheekbones out to here and great big eyes. She should work on her smile and stop making grimaces, and also be careful to put enough make-up on to lighten the lower half of her face, which is much darker than the top half.

I take everything these girls say after the show with a grain of salt. I'm not prepared to condemn Nigel solely on their say-so. April clearly had a thing for Nigel, and that makes me a little leary of anything she says about him now. All I have to judge him on is the way he acts on the show, and I've always liked him on there. Speaking of Nigel, he said last night that he thought that was the last time Ebony should need to be told to get herself together in front of panel. I think he and Jay are both a little tired of her ho-hum atitude.

I thought Sara would be in the bottom cuz her pic was horrible. From reading other boards some think Bianca's buzz cut was done for the drama effect. <shrug>

I thought last nights protrayal/editing of Heather was right on. She reminded me soo much of one of my kiddos last night. Her mannerisms, her talking, the whole bit. I am glad that they seem to be editing it fairly.

I am puzzled by the controversy over Bianca's cut, because I think she looks SOOOOO much better with it shaved off! She really was channeling her inner ho with that other do - now she looks classy! What is to complain about? They did her a HUGE favor!
