Assuming Tyra is still around the 161 pounds she stated she was on the cover of People magazine a couple of months ago, and that her height is 5'11", then she's in a healthy weight range for her body. Which medically is between 136 - 179 lbs. So she's on the "far-range" of it, but who cares!! She's healthy and she's probably enjoying life SO MUCH MORE now that she doesn't have the pressures to stay "model thin".

ah yes, J.L.H isnt fat. She is just one of those with thin arms and waist then gets rather wide in teh hips. AND it isnt fat, it is just her bonestructure. Christina Aguilara has that similar small on top and hippy look. As for Tyra Banks, I still remember Brit from BB1 talking about her friend who worked in the industry complaining about all the work it took to airbrush the Fat off of Tyra's arms in every shot LOL I appreciate that Tyra is 'voluptuous'. She is lucky that her height makes the weight look tolerable and healthy. If she had that weight and was only 5'2 like me, she'd be obese.

Costacat - I think the saying you're talking about is: "I may be fat but you're ugly, and I can go on a diet." I saw it on a t-shirt a few years ago and loved it.

THAT'S IT!!! Bombay, thank you! Thank you thank you!!! ETA: My exBF had another bumper sticker that I loved, the old "You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny." Those were the first things I noticed about him!

I think the saying works well late night in a bar:Person 1: You're ugly! Person 2: and you're drunk! Person 1: Maybe, but I'll be sober in the morning!

LOL, Bob, that's a Churchill quote! ""Madam, I may be drunk but you're ugly, and in the morning I'll be sober."

Ditto Mocha. I told my trainer Monday night who was going to win -- nice I've figured the winner on three reality shows this season!

Just saw when they let Jenah go. Personally, I don't see their issue with her. I felt like alot of her problems were generated by the panel constantly saying that she seemed like she thought she was better than everyone else. Then, all of a sudden, the panel 'saw who she was'. Miss Jay saying that she resented her mother because Jenah had to raise her sisters was just laughable. Like they should be analyzing her like that! I hope that Jenah realizes what they were doing, because I think they just wanted to take her down in the last few episodes.

This whole thing is ridiculous - it just "happens" that Saleshia was at Tyra's camp - Tyra assuring us that she would be "extra hard" on Saleshia - and then she wins even though she is 1) too short 2) too heavy 3) has no neck 4) is not high fashion 5) looks like Tootie 6) was nasty as hell to Heather when she was on 7) put on this "aw shucks" phoney cutiness that got on my last nerve. Tyra wanted her to win from the start and the only contest was to see how to get rid of everyone else who had more potential.

another example of trying to beat someone down mentally for 'good tv'. It was sickening imo. did anyone else notice that Jenah's Good take was not used? and not a Mention was made of Saliesha DEMANDING a halt to the filming as she waved a hand and WALKED off the set! then she went and sucked up to Jay and the photographer. WOW, what an actress! Jenah refuses cue cards and does an excellent job but they dont use it in judging. Many of us called nepotism (or whatever LOL) when one of "tyra's girls" made it onto the show. I looked at all of those side by side pics and Chantelle really did better in ALL of them. Worse still, and Not Even MENTIONED, was how severely every pic had to be airbrushed to try and correct saliesha's out of porportion body and face. Many of the pics looked nothing like her. I thought Chantelle did way better on the runway and looked like a typical model in most fashion shows I've seen. Saliesha was hamming it up vigorously and the shoulder rolls etc were 'taking away' from the beauty of the clothes. Those were gorgeous outfits! This finale' was rather boring. Other than Tyra's Mr Spock Vulcan Eyebrows, it was unamusing and painful to watch. poor Jenah. She outshone both other girls in the photos.

for instance, I dont know how Saleisha made it past this week. Look at the weird legs, look at the 'shrinking' and airbrushing of the body/ face and the Disappearing arm. The knee is almost the same size as the Head! LOL I just never understood what the judges THOUGHT they saw...other than a giggling wiggling puppydog kind of girl who was trying too hard to be there. IMHO!!

I haven't seen tonight's show yet but all along this season they've gotten rid of the best ones and kept the lousy ones. I can't believe Saliesha made it even half way through the competition and beat out girls like Lisa, Heather and Victoria.

Just finishing watching now and all I can say is "Totally Rigged Competition." Any number of those girls was far better than Saliesha. Chantel outdid her by far at the end and Jenna and Chantel kicked her butt. Jenna and Chantel did much better commercials and their pics beat Saliesha hands down. So what gives? Why do we keep having to see Jaslene?

When I seen Jenna go and then ,AS soon as I seen Chantel getting the long dresses for the runway and Saliesha in the short ones by the second dress I was Like OH OH me smells set up! Sure enough the long dress caused problems. End of day who TYRA likes wins IMOP

I missed the finale, hope to catch it on Sun, but this show has a pattern of choosing 'the underdog' for that surprise ending. Chantal I thought was looking like the front runner, so knew that she was doomed. Figured that Jenah was doomed because of the neg way the judges were responding to her comments regarding self discovery and actualization. Also, the judges (well, except for Twiggy) seem uncomfortable choosing blonde beauty... in general they are often putting it down - eg it is 'too sweet' and 'too commercial' and 'not edgy enough'

I personally thought S had a stronger walk but I think C should have won. As for the falling down guy, I was not her fault as far as I could see, he stepped on the train of her dress and caused the fall. But what was up with that fashion show? There was nobody else there. Just all the extras and panel. And what was with them doing the runway and "Queen Tyra" making her entrance? Blech.

Chantal doesn't have a good walk. Saliesha killed her on the runway. But I would've been ok with either. I thought they bs'd Jenah though. But I never thought she should've made it as far as she did. I agree that in this season they got rid of alot of the better looking ones like Lisa and Janet.

Anyone else think the producers' hearts weren't in this season? Or they've lost interest? I dunno if it was set up from the beginning for Saleisha to win, but this is the first season that the "finale" was more like a regular episode. No audience during the runway challenge, nothing showing the fittings and prep work for the runway. Nothing. They crammed what is usually the last 2 eps into a single episode and called it a finale. I think Chantal's downfall was she was too nice. Had she not broken character when the extra on stilts got caught on her dress and fell, she would've been a serious contender. But that little break could've cost her. I wasn't ever a Saleisha fan, and would've preferred seeing the "fresh" youthful look of Chantal winning. At any rate, I am just ever so glad that we do NOT have to listen to Jaslene any more. Enough is enough already. That girl has the most obnoxiously grating voice. And I dunno what slang is appropriate these days, but "te quiero" is directly translated to "I want you". So her little bit of throwing in Spanglish just didn't cut it for me. I think I'm losing interest. I didn't like Jaslene, not a fan of Saleisha. Of course, none of these girls will ever be top models, and those who don't win aren't under contract for a year. So my snarky little hope is that Chantal books a major contract and leaves Saleisha in the dust.

Won't be able to see it till Sunday either. But after last week, I pretty much knew this would be the order. First of all, I knew Saleisha would be in the final. No way would they have two blondes in the final. So, of the two blonds, I figured Jenna would go. And also, seeing as both Saleisha and Chantel had Tyra's same "bangs cut" in the makeovers she gave them....well, maybe that was just another clue they were going to be the favored pair.
