Here is a story about last season's winner. I could have put the link in the Season 1 thread, but I figured we might as well keep the conversation going here. Fashion Victim From Next Top Model to ex-top model Canada's Next Top Bank Clerk settles in for some highlights in her sleek blond mane. She starts business classes in September. To hell with the fashion racket ..... Link

hmmm interesting article...do you really think Jeane put an end to her career? I just think there wasn't the money and support in the first season.

this does not surprise me at all, Jimmer. Has any winner of any season in any country made it to be anything?? The only one I read about at all is Australia's season 2 winner - and she made the paper for being in a cat fight in a bar!! reality TV just doesn't give these people the life they think it will, methinks!

i think it was her personality. I remember a nervous frail looking girl who was not the best speaker and never had much confidence. Personally, I dont think she would have won if Jay M. hadnt come up from the States to pick the winner. I remember the fighting from the judges and tears. Seems to me that Jay M was really going for the 'thin' girl and that the others werent model material. But then again, last season was soooo long ago.

Sunshyne, Dimples reminds me of a cross between Catherine Keener and Tatum O'Neal. And Tia reminds me of a cross between Amanda Peet and Sandra Bernhard's prettier younger sister. Funny, a bunch of them remind me of someone or other. Meh, I don't like Jeanne Beker whether or not the article is true. I can't stand anything that comes out of her mouth when she's on the show. She acts so condescending. And it seems to me she always has to pipe up and be the voice of descent when ever the others agree that one of the girls did a good job.

I'm still cringeing at the scene when the judge at the end complimented Steff covering her cleavage tastefully (with the little black dress) and J. Bekker got up to show her elderly boobs in that corset. ICK! there is a time for older people to stop trying to wear current fashion and realize they dont ahve the physique needed.

well, so long Gina. My favs now are Mo and Sinead. Rebecca is just so different and she takes really good pics, not my fav but the judges sure like her, she could totally end up winning this. Cori needs to suck-it-up, she can't keep crying like that, I know...easy for me to say but it gets old. Shes so pretty and has the package just no self esteem. I do NOT care for Tia or Tara at all.

I think Cori should have gone - she is just too naive and "young" and insecure to ever make it ( even if she is from my town!) My favs are also Sinead and Mo. I don't see how any of the others can touch them?

Mo is my favourite, too! I just love the way she carries herself and presents herself. I think she's great. I like Sinead, but she's gotta get over herself... or maybe that's backwards... she's gotta get 'onto' herself? She needs to realize that she's got something great, and use it. Screw feeling guilty about being good at what you're doing... isnt' that why you're there??

I noticed that when they want to get rid of a girl is already "pre-meditated", they will edit the show in a way to make it look that indeed the girl deserved to go and the winner is already picked and the show edited to that end. Pity! However, I don't see "top model" among those in this show, I can't believe why they can't come up with better looking girls even if it's going to make it harder for elimination, there are so many better girls out there...

hmmm maybe the "better" girls don't apply to be on? I think a show like this might be a kiss of death to a real career???

kiss of death, yeah!! or else they'll settle for sears catalogue or some other fashion flyer material... however, some of the girls are only too happy to move on to other things after realizing how tough that world is...

Trini, Not much attention was paid to Tara this week. The show focused more on the cat-fighting between Mo, Sinead and Tia. Mo has come a long way since that silly smile pic with the guy. She's getting very impressive. I like Sinead the the most, but she's being so positively portrayed in the editing that it makes me think she won't win. Ick - too much Jeanne Beker this episode, too. I don't know why she rubs me the wrong way so much. She just makes my hair stand on end.

Jeanne Becker, her mouth and the way she pulls her neck to emphasise a word rubs me the wrong way. She tries too hard! I like Mo, I hope she is not over doing the attitude bit during a cat-fight.

another episode where i was not sure whom was going to go. Everyone just seems middle of the road to me. OH and I LOVED the comp. that the girls had to do. I'm being sarcastic. Pole dancing/ stripping is exactly what pretty young girls are resorting to when they convince themselves they are 'modeling' and 'acting'. I thought it was in poor taste to put the Pole dancing on the Show like it is an acceptable way to practice 'modeling'. This show should be impowering to women and encouraging to young women to be the best they can be.....instead of bumping and grinding obscenely on a pole.

Is it just me or does Tara seem to be getting more uptight each week? Her attitude is so negative all the time. Also there is something about Tia's mouth that's just not appealing to me; maybe the size? I'm not sure....with the women left I would have to say I think for runway fashion Rebeca would be the best and then second would be tied with Mo an Sinead. IMO

I didn't even think of the pole dancing like that, as a negative. I wish Tara had of gone and not Mo, I really felt for her.

I was so shocked to see Mo take the hit. She had done so well lately...then for Jeanne to say shes too short...wtf?? why bring her in at all if shes too short..geez! I also can't remember what Jay said to Mo but I thought at the time..Huh?? it just didn't sit right. Maybe I just wanted Tara gone more. I just don't like her & I can't stand her nasally-out-of-breathe voice, it gets irritating. I'm so mean...
