OK...I feel better if she was laughing...

The weather here at Ocean Shores is fantabulous! (Now that is a Jade word) But we deserve it. After a miserable winter this sunshine is heaven.

wow Dani looks great!! She outshines those other 2 by far!!! NIcole's covergirl ads suck, she is so boring and never even looks good.

I hope Joanie has a great career, she was stunning this season also.

Interesting article, which discusses (among other things), Tyra's reaction to Danielle's accent:

Interesting. But I think the author was way off base. Having a southern or midwestern accent is in no way an ethnic idiosyncrasy(sp) and doesn't mean Dani was 'talkin black'. That's some bullish.

There are many things that Tyra is bugged by that don't bug me or, seemingly, the other judges. WIth Danielle, the other judges did, at times, remark about her diction, which did need some work. The accent didn't seem to be as problematic for them as the diction. Seems to me that at one point something was mentioned about how fast she talked and the words sort of running all together. That definitely needed some work and she did remarkably better in the last commercial shoot, I think.

What bugged me more was that Tyra kept saying things that implied she came from the South as well. Or at least that she could understand Danielle's struggle with the accent because she had been there, too. Unless Inglewood, California is considered "the South", which I'm sure it isn't, she doesn't have any background in common with Danielle except racial heritage. I suppose that's where the writer of that article derives much of the opinion that the African-American characteristics of Danielle's speech are really what Tyra has issue with.

Tyra, Tyra, Tyra. I think "Diva" is in your bio. :-)

I am thrilled that Dani won, and maybe because I am a southerner, but it really bothered me that Tyra constantly harped on her accent. Accents can be fixed just like teeth! I agree with the author on her inconsistancies.

Although Tyra had several problems with Danielle—at one point bullying her to close the Lauren Hutton-esque gap in her smile—she was particularly unhappy about Danielle's "country" accent. Danielle does speak the way one might expect a young black woman from Arkansas to speak, but the lilting, syrupy sound of her voice is a huge part of her charm. All the judges—except Tyra—acknowledged this. While no one found it problematic that Jade (the "biracial butterfly"—her words—from New York City) peppered her speech with made-up words like "analystic," "dwelve," and "releasement," Tyra seemed unable to bear the fact that Danielle (who, incidentally, properly used the word cantankerous to describe herself when she gets pissy) had regional inflection in her voice. Even more to the point, Nnenna, the recently booted stunner from Nigeria, also spoke with a thick accent, which Tyra and the rest of the judges found fetching. Evidently, an African accent is fine, but not an African-American one. At last week's judging, Tyra told Danielle the judges "didn't trust her when she opened her mouth." But the truth is that the other judges loved Danielle, especially when she spoke, because she was articulate, modest, and hugely charismatic
