Lluvy did have an interesting look and could have been awesome in pictures if someone would just help her learn to use her features to her advantage. What annoys me is that they don't seem to give them a lot of constructive feedback to help them grow (or if they do, they don't show it on tv and I think it would be interesting.) I would take a bunch of pictures of her, lead her through different expressions and ways to hold her head and then sit down with her and show her what works for her and what doesn't. She doesn't have a clue and that is something that can definitely be learned. I liked Rebecca and didn't get her being in the bottom 2 either. And it made me mad when the photographer said Naimo needed to lose 5-10 lbs. Arghhhh!

Am I the only one who thinks Rebecca looks like Reese Witherspoon? Seems like all the girls took good pics in the wind and rain... I think Tiffany is hot!

What happened to Miss J and the instruction they used to get? Seems like Miss J hasn't been around much this season. I agree that Lluvy needed some guidance. Maybe there's something that goes on that we don't see, but if there isn't, I truly don't understand how they can be expected to "improve" from just the few comments they get during photo shoots and at the judging. No, Laura, you aren't alone. I think she DEFINITELY looks like Reese Witherspoon. I just cannot see Michelle winning this thing, no matter how much she pulls Tyra's "heartstrings". I think she'd be a disaster.

LOL Alisons. You nailed it perfectly. Wtf is up with that???? Was Tyra a juvie delinquent??? I thought that too with Rebecca/Reese. I am soooo fed up with this show's prejudice against nice looking blondes. Ever notice how much it PAINS them to acknowledge that Rebecca or the like is pretty?? I bet they *loved* sending Brita home first. Probably threw a little catty party. The most ridiculous part of Becky being in the bottom 2 is that Tyra said she looks 'the same' every week. Huh??! Last week she had that Italian look with the dark wig and they raved how she looked edgier etc & pulled it off ???!!

Well, you know what? I think the winner was already hand picked at the start of the show and the whole elimination process revolves around that. To produce and edit a show it has to be planned out first (except some unexpected events like Michelle's skin problem and Rebecca's fainting)most of what goes on is "made to be so". As someone mentioned, one week a contestant is rewarded and the next she's awful, it doesn't really matter when the end result is already determined. I understand why the girls look so ordinary, no one really stands out (that would be a sure guess for the audience and they don't want that) so they have to make us guess but they know how to portray "their winner", they can pick an awful photograph or a great one depending on who they want out. I think the potential winner was already studied (personality and all..) even at selection time. Still, I can't think who this girl is... so far, none of them are worthy of a win (there must be thousands of girls better than this bunch). And what with Tyra screaming " Be Quiet, Be Quiet"... wow, does she have a temper.... Let's guess, was she yelling at.... Brittany?? (In the next show)

Spunky, I agree, the winner is predetermined. I am hoping it will be Naima (sp). As to the "be quiet, be quiet" bit, who could have been that out of control? Brandi is already gone, Tiffani, who had anger problems last season, is behaving beautifully. The only one to whom this might be directed is the girl who was drinking too much and mooning people at the Limo window (can't remember her name). Michele is too self-effacing to talk back to anyone. All the others seen nice and sort of anonymous to me. Just speculation on my part.

Aahlife thx for your comment I have a medical background and I agree with your assessment I also have medical background and sharing my personal experience as well. I suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I can get lesions like that from Soaps and Shampoos (and MAKEUP!) I noticed that Nigel made a comment about Michelle and her "twitching" during the judging last night. I think she has some serious allergies considering how she continuously grimaces and sniffs (squinching up her face) ((experience again, I do that if I have a tickle from Dust or CATS LOL))

Sunshyne.. I have MCS too! Before it became full-blown and before I was really aware of it I tried lightening my hair once and ended up in the ER. It was only years later that I really understood why. Plus the headaches from makeup (which I attributed to stress), etc..

Sometimes the one girl that cried looks like Amber. I like the wild girl. I couldn't believe the one girl was bottom 2, she is my pick to win..for now! lol

If I were Rebecca, I would break out some kind of history of panic attacks or an eating disorder or two so that she can appear more edgy. Or wait, maybe some bizarre sexual fetish..... NOTE TO REBECCA - you were in the bottom two, so you'd better dish up some drama or you are SO GONE!

Wasn't Rebecca the one who fainted? What can top that? Screaming hysterics enough for Tyra to yell, "Be quiet, be quiet." ?

I think the preview with Tyra screaming is all hype. I bet you any money that she is demonstrating some acting role because their challenge next week is acting.

MCS is one of the most misunderstood of all the illnesses. Also one of the most misdiagnosed as well. Took me YEARS to be properly diagnosed. ((Was a hospital worker until 8-12 hr shifts around Antiseptics and Disinfecting cleaning agents ruined my career and my health. I used to work looking like Michelle many nights LOL. Finally when someone would ask me "WHAT is ON YOUR FACE??! I'd tell them I had a Syphillus outbreak ROTFL--as you can imagine that shut em up fast.))

Thanks Sunshyne, and ditto I was an attorney in legal publishing so was around ZILLIONS of computers & printers which didnt help. But I also had many other factors (tuna, antibiotics, stress, lots of allergies & chemical exposures..). I've been disabled for 5 years but am improving & hope to be back to normal in another couple. IMHO it's been nice seeing a few girls on the show with health conditions. I applaud the show for not ruling them out (altho if its contagious I would!)

What was with the double elimination? (I didn't get to see much of the show at all--only a few broken up minutes at the end.) Also what was with Tyra as the angry black woman yelling at the one girl? (Brandy?)

I happened to catch tonight's episode because Lost was a re-run. Oh my gosh! Tyra is so full of...(BEEP). All that yelling and the serious facial expressions when dealing with Tiffany was so over the top and freaking fake. It made me sick. Tyra: "You don't know where I come from. You don't what I've been though..." Shut up, Tyra. EVERYONE knows your ENTIRE life story. Don't try to pass yourself off as someone who rose up from the darkest depths to become the fake you are. The whole thing about caring so much just wreaks of contrived reality show acting. I don't believe she cares about these girls as much as she would like everyone to think. And the absolute WORST part was, at the very end, when they bring back Tiffany for a confessional (obviously filmed way after she was booted) to say: "Tyra loves me. I love me. I am fine." What a total load of crap. P.S: Did anyone catch Eva's Cover Girl commercial during the show? I liked the concept (bringing in her mom), but the audio for the commercial was awful. You'd think someone shot the whole thing with the movie option on their cheap digital camera.

Personally, I think Tyra's tirade was more because of the fact that Tiffany dissed her show than anything else. She's right, though, Tiffany did herself in. Tyra said it perfectly during the judging (when the girls weren't there) when she said Tiffany decided to quit modeling before modeling quit her. Tiffany will find that her attitude gets callen an obstacle by lots of people. One day, maybe she'll take a breath and realise they are right and she holds the power to make it change. Part of it is that she doesn't like to look like a fool and she was so out of her element (with the Cockney accents, 'fancy' food, and high fashion lingo) that she totally felt like a fool. She's not mature enough and confident enough with herself at this stage of her life to know that it's okay to look a fool now and then; how you deal with it once it happens is what's important. I thought the ONLY picture that was good was Brittany's. And Michelle thinking she was a slam dunk on the acting exercise was hilarious! Talk about not being self-aware. Oh my!

All that yelling and the serious facial expressions when dealing with Tiffany was so over the top and freaking fake. It made me sick. Scorpio, I have it on tape. Tyra actually looks RIGHT AT THE CAMERA at one point just before she starts to really 'go off'. I think she wanted to make sure that the cams were still taping so it could capture her dramatics. Tiffany was from a tough background. Tyra CASTED her for a purpose. I think that we just saw 'the purpose'. Does anyone here really believe that Tiffany had "acting" and "good reading skills" as part of what she was bringing to the show>?>? NO, I think we all knew that she was a single mom from a 'poor' background. Most people I know who are unable to read well act EXACTLY like Tiffany when asked to read in PUBLIC. Tyra should have been understanding...instead she decided to try to MAKE Tiffany cry. I didnt see any disrespect when the girls were told they had to pack their bags. Instead I saw Tiffany with big sad eyes trying to say goodbye to the girls. Laughing as Michelle was "breaking her back" put Tyra OFF the EDGE. She wanted to see TEARS and since Tiffany seemed in control Tyra TRIED to make her feel guilty and react!! I couldnt help but roll my eyes when Tyra even brought up Tiffany's grandmother as an attempt to make her cry. I would call that cruel. ** First Brit looks toooo porno in pics and is reprimanded for it. Now they have a Photo session where the girls wearing skimpy see-through outfits have to rub crotches with a underwear clad young male-model (( but act like they arent embarrassed about it.)) Needless to say the classy nonporno girls do poorly this week and Brit is congratulated on her sensual but not Ho-ish face. ((cant believe Tyra actually SAID that when Brit looked like she was faking an orgasm!!!!!!! )) Anyways, I found this entire episode a waste of time. For petes sake, British Accents??? Wild outfits with teeth missing? Maybe I am missing the point but I am with Tiffany...Not my cup o tea LOL

Wild outfits with teeth missing? Not only that, but did you guys noticed how God-awful that male model acted? Here these girls were supposed to making a 18th-century poor English woman character come to life and that guy was just standing there with his head up his butt.
