He was carrying a long stick they had to use in their shoot. Caridee asked if he had pulled it out of his ass after the last panel. Completely inappropriate, particularly since he is a judge and was the photographer that day.

Thanks Pamy! Happy T-Day! I wish Caridee or Eugena had gone. I wanted a final three of the twins and Melrose...

Eugena has nothing special and she is ver-r-ry bow-legged. She is sure no Tyra, who looked great on this week's show, by the way.
I also wanted the twins to stay, but I think they can continue to model together after the show has ended and will be a unique attraction.
Looking back at old programs, I still think AJ would have been the best. When they slicked her hair back they really made her look bad, and then kept telling her how bad she looked. She looked lots better before her makeover.
Of the ones left, I like Melrose the best. She seems the most dedicated and professional acting. Eugena has come a long way, but then she had the furthest to go, considering how weak she was in the beginning. I don't think, though, that a lot of progress is the best criteria for a winner.

I just watched Eva's new show, and it is dreadful. She vamps in a cartoonish over the top manner. The show has low production values.

ATM is getting more and more abusive to the models for no other purpose than to break them down for better tv drama. To have a photoshoot with a real bull in the ring served no purpose than to frighten and unnerve the models. Each final photograph photoshopped a bull in that was shot separately, along with the red cape. There was no other purpose to this sadistic exercise, no wonder these models break down and lose their confidence.

Nigel is one of the main reasons I continue to watch the show after my favorites have been booted off. He is absolutely gorgeous and I love his voice. Too bad he is married

I don't really care for the twin who left tonight, but I wish it was Eugena who's kicked off.

Not just the bow-leggy way Catfat talks about, Eugena has no class. She can fake a little grace for Tyra, that's about it. I wish Anchal could have learned to fake half as good as she Eugena.
I am beginning to suspect that, there's always going to be a girl who looks like Tyra in the F3s, if not the F2s.

I thought CariDee should have been gone tonight. This is the third or fourth straight week that she's been bailed out.

What happened in the pool? The previews looked like someone went to the hospital.

All of the girls were very cold but CariDee apparently was close to hypothermia. They wouldn't let her finish the shoot. But they didn't show anything about her going to the hospital.

caridee acts very over the top...almost manic. I'll suggest that she was hamming it up during the shoot. being highstrung will exaggerate her 'reactions'.

Funny how Eugena, shivering with cold and unable to float, was viewed as Blank faced....while Caridee's blank face was regarded as 'relaxed'.

It bothered me that the whole show seemed to let us hope Caridee or melrose were GONE! Instead they kick out the girl who tried the hardest during the dance shot AND the pool shoot.

AND...!! I've never noticed how bowlegged Eugena is until you guys mentioned it!!

at this point I dont have a clue who will win. Do I care? not sure

Why can't the judges see how fake Melrose is?Maybe it's the way they edit,and thats how it comes across to me.

After the way Caridee was acting at the end of the show, with mouthing "f-in b*tch" about Melrose when she got her photo, and her general pissed off attitude, I almost wish she had gone instead of Amanda.

It's going to be an F2 showdown between Caridee and Melrose, because Eugena's inconsistancy will be her downfall.
I don't think they'll make someone who's yet so have a "really" good picture, ANTM just because she has "the potential" but has yet to show any of it.

This show continues to be edited to within an inch of its life.

And the judging and casting decisions are, in my opinion, questionable for a modeling competition. This is a reality TV show only that has become, with every season, more and more designed to showcase Tyra's Oprah-style "mama"-interviews.

I have written about the sadistic nature of this show for entertainment reasons before, but they have gone too far. There was absolutely no reason to place women with little protective body fat in an unheated pool that had very cold water. Instead of protecting and nuturing these young women, ANTM endangers these model's lives. Hypothermia is nothing to toy with, bodies can quickly shut down. There is no serious regard for these young women, if any of these young models objected to these unprofessional work conditions they would have been criticized for not wanting it enough and would have been booted off the the show.

ANTM also plays with these young, vunerable women's psyche. Every season the models start this competition with enthusiastic zeal, and as the sadistic and unrealistic competitions and inconsistent mind gaming judgments that work to beat them down, we watch them crack. Caridee, who started out with such happy, charming enthusiastic energy is now a shaking, broken shell. I found watching her at judging, beaten, frightened and trembling, a disconcerning thing to watch. Shame on Tyra and her producers.

I think Caridee is the one with multiple personalities, something she has said several times about Melrose. Her demeanor at the judging seems very put on to me, designed to make herself seem humble and contrite for the "errors" she has made. How cold was she at the pool, who knows they all looked pretty cold, I would imagine if her bp had plummeted and she was in any danger they would have whisked her off to hospital and warming blankets. I find myself very skeptical of her. Both she and Eugena were a couple of b in this ep. I think they will be a little surprised when they actually watch the show. Melrose although coming off like an eager puppy is best suited to handle the pressures that winning this could bring. Lets not forget Caridee's admission which points to a possible fragile emotional state to begin with, if, I hate to say because it seems cruel, it was an actual event that really happened and not just something she threw out their for dramatic effect.

Now that the twins are both gone, I don't care really who wins.

I Melrose is to long in the tooth
Eugena bores me
Caridee is ok

Nothing spectacular as far as I am concerned.

I wish AJ was still competing. She was my winner from the beginning. I don't really care or have a preference for who wins though. I did think the water pics were kool but dang they could've afforded a heated pool.

I don't think that pools in Europe are routinely heated. Heated pools are more of a US thing.

The water pics looked like they were heavily edited and softened.

Modeling & acting are very cutthroat businesses.
Better to eliminate the mentally weak earlier in the season.

doesnt matter if the pool is heated. I got hypothermia in Hawaii!!

even if the water is twenty degrees celcius (? fahrenheit?) the body is 37 degrees and it is just a matter of time before you become hypo.

I was in the water for almost 1.5 hrs snorkeling.

It was a hot sunny day.

These girls would end up with borderline hypothermia just because of the long photoshoot.

by the way, I ahve had a theory that the judges set up a certain someone to fail each week. This week was the Dance Shoot. A certain someone is very gangly and uncoordinated.

Also, anyone else notice how three of the girls had dresses which showed their feet (so any bad footwork would be immediately noticed) and Melrose got a long dress so you couldnt see her feet.

That ensured Melrose would be judged 'okay' as her footwork was hidden.

Could Melrose Win this season?

Lets see---
1) Andrea -caucasian
2) Yohanna - slavic
3) eva - Afr-american
4)Naima - asian/ black/ Aboriginal?
5)Nicole - caucasian
6)Danielle - Afr-american
7) __________________???

We are 'due' for a caucasian to win this year if the pattern sticks.

this show seems to have its 'politics'.

8unshyne, I think that Tyra made a point to tell them that it wasn't really about whether they could actually dance or not, so the judges didn't care if you could see their feet, if they had perfect footwork or if they danced even one step right. It was all about the pictures and if they managed to have still poses that made them 'look' like a dancer.

Melrose looked like a dancer and even Amanda looked like a dancer in her pic when we know that she was a total mess at dancing. I thought it was ironic that the best actual dancer, Eugena, didn't actually take the best dancing photo.

I think the original dancing competion that Eugena won was more to see if the girls actually tried to learn something that would help them 'look' like dancers in their photo shoot, than to find out who was the best dancer.
