Lisa cracks me up. I mean who hasn't drank bottles and bottles of wine and talked to shrubs cus noone else will talk to you? and taken a leak in a diaper? oh sure, it's been years since i've done that. She makes me laugh, but I have no doubt I wouldn't be able to stand her in person. I think she looks like a goofier version of Stephanie from Survivor. And Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas. It's probably those eyebrows.

yeah Pam, I just can't get into Tyra as talk show hostess. Too melodramatic - too "over the toppish, somehow?? (and I like Tyra as a TV personality/model) I have watched only a couple of her shows and could never get into them - this one especially. Somehow she seems like she wants to be Oprah but with the Springer/Povich type show???

I watched the Tyra show yesterday because of the Top Model theme (yes, I've watched every season of Top Model so far), and I was disappointed and annoyed. Here's the thing -- Tyra tries too hard, and it's too obviously a copycat of other show's formulas (Oprah-style wannabe, anyone?) You can just imagine the development meetings -- "I've gotta hit the hard topics while still looking fierce, make the guests cry while teaching them how to look fine as they tell me their deep dark secrets!" She paraded those Top Model women out, sat them down and went straight into their personal "secret" or "issue" or whatever. She barely gave the topic any lead-in, anything. Then she got to give them the old "Tyra-wisdom," and when she didn't have any of that, the old "Tyra-hug-because-I'm-so-proud-of-you." Then it was off to the next introduction with a big fat smile. Blah. "Oh, Amanda, thanks for telling us that you're really really truly honestly really blind. ('Thanks for clearing that up' were her words I think.) Now, NEXT!" And I'll tell you, I was never a Cassie fan, but if I were her I'd have been pissed off. She came out with Tiffany, and Tyra immediately began scolding Cassie for going back to stripping. Then when Tiffany shook her head at something Cassie said, Tyra abruptly switched to talk with her about her background (which included stripping) and current problems, then at the end reached over Cassie to pat Tiffany on the knee and tell her how incredibly, terribly proud she was of her. 'Oh, and thanks, Cassie for being here too ... even though I cut you off and scolded you and then ignored you while I told Tiffany what a brave brave soul she is. While YOU'RE just a stripper who went back on her word to me.' During her season, I loved Naima's mohawk and edgier style, but top model? Still ain't working for me. Kelle looked far more beautiful yesterday than she did on the show, but her first word in her explanation of 'oreo' -- well-spoken -- peeved me a bit. If you saw it, you know what I mean. Let's see? Shandi? Blonde was so much better for ya, babe. Eric the ex-boyfriend? Big huge feet. I have more to say but it'd get me modded cause it's so snarky. Jay Alexander -- interesting to hear that his friends hate the nicknamace

she is a horrible host! That show had so much potential and she blew it the way she interviewed, it was almost a show for her to save face. I thought the girls looked great. Amanda looks way bettter with dark hair.

I agree ( well I typed it meaning Amanda's hair but I also agree with everything Pamy & Yank said  Tyra comes off as too melodramatic and over the top)

Lisa is sickening and was really patronizing to Kim when Kim won the competition, I mean how obviously jealous can you be? "you deserve to win one"... as if she runs the competition. I wanna see Lisa gone... she thinks way to highly of herself and although over the top can be funny, she's just an attention monger IMO. I love Nik and Bre... for me it's between those two. I think Bre is a real sweety and wants this so badly, I will be so thrilled for her if she wins, same goes for Nik and she's so gorgeous! love her hair curly and straight... these girls really deserve it..

Did I miss this tonight? If so can someone provide a recap. I was dealing with cranky kids, cranky hubby, laundry & watching a hockey game. Not until about 11pm did I realize that this show was on tonight.

I can't help but feel they have the winner planned at times . . . or at least who they want in the final three. While telling one model that she always has the same look on her face, they're praising Kim for the beautiful look she had in the phone booth - the exact same look she always has because she only has one. Which leads to me to believe that Tyra keeps certain girls around simply for a 'group' they represent whether it's being gay or being large. Kim has to have the least flexibility of any of model who's made it this far and yet they carried on about how good she was. Um, am I the only one seeing only one look on this girl's face and it's not even a good look at that? Can someone please explain how she is still there?! Explain it to me like I'm a five year old.

I thought Lisa was by far the best of the bunch. I really don't get how they pick these people.

I am wondering if they sent Lisa packing because of her obnoxious behaviour? Surely the models know that everything they do is seen by the judges. These girls 'represent' and Lisa behaved so badly, she would have made Tyra and the whole show look bad.

I'm sure that Lisa's wild behavior had something to do with it. They made a lot of comments about how she's a "spitfire." They need to have someone they can control and rely on to be professional. It would be hard to trust Lisa with that. I'm rooting for Bre.

It's very funny how people can see different things in these women -- I always wondered why Lisa was in the competition -- while she certainly was skinny (hello pot? meet kettle re: the Coryn situation) and could pose, to me she did look old, and odd but not in an interesting way. I on the other hand can see Kim, and Nicole, as models. Not that I necessarily like them as personalities, but as models, I see it. But I know that others completely disagree (see Kappy's post above -- I do agree that Kim has had at least 2 bad pictures -- the supergirl and the implant ones were horrid, but I see the potential in her look). So it's interesting to me how different people view "beauty" or "model potential". (Just for the record, though I've never loved her personality, my pick from the very beginning has been Nicole to win.)

I think Kim just might take this thing. Have you noticed when one girl starts being noticed (in a good way) by the judges that the others start to pick on her? I'm not saying Kim is perfect, but wasn't Bre doing the same thing when she was talking about Kim to Jayla and Nic? This same thing happened in during Eva's season. Don't you recall when the girls weren't talking to her, including her good friend Ann? This could mean that they are giving her the winner's spin.

Oh they all talked about each other back and forth. So no one had a valid argument. I think Kim will win cause she had that androgenous(sp) look.

I'm still trying to recover from Brita getting booted in the first show last season! If Kim would go next week, then I'd be fine with any of the others winning. I liked Jayla better with longer hair and both her and Nicole would do much better if they were more confident. I'm picking Bre to win.

Tyra and her clan go on about how important it is to have self confidence and personality. Lisa, apparently had too much of both. She is also enthusiastic, ambitious, gives good interviews, and photogenic. Sure she is offbeat, but that apparently is supposed to be another plus as she isn't another beauty clone. The judges also praised her photo, and said it was the best she has ever looked. The judges criteria and justification for booting people off is really about who they are targeting to win, not necessarily who deserves to win.

I think she was eliminated cuz they kept saying she looked old. I think she has a career in acting. Brittney from last year, who I loved, was on Love Inc and did great!

I'm very surprised by the last elimination (but really...should I be? ) I agree with Aahlife's assesment - The judges criteria and justification for booting people off is really about who they are targeting to win, not necessarily who deserves to win. I thought Lisa was going to be eliminated last week after the diaper episode. I figured that would be brought up - along with her other antics, and that would be the reason for her elimination. Can't have someone like that representing ANTM (ya know, since ANTM winners have such a large presence and become so famous ) Then this week, Lisa is praised big time for her photo in the phone booth. She gives different looks on each shoot. After they mentioned her being a "spitfire", it was brought up that she has calmed down on shoots - and the photographer even said she was the easiest to work with. I don't think she should have been eliminated this week - especially compared to a few of the other girls. Nik - beautiful, but same shot every week. Don't they usually get rid of the girl that by this time STILL has only one pose? Jayla - bad picture this week - and last week she was bottom 2. Don't think she's that strong. I think she should have been eliminated this week. Nicole - she does have that wholesome "Cover Girl" look, but I think she's kind of boring. Kim - I think Kim will go far because of her androgenous look, and I also think she looks good in most of her shots. Bre - they really focused on her most of the episode! Think she will be final 2. Honestly, I've gotten pretty bored with this show. There's no one I'm really rooting for. My favorite ANTM of all time was Diva Eva. I was rooting for her from the first episode.
