YAY!!! Thank you for the new thread! There is a "where are they now" type show on this week for the Cycle 4 models, then the new cycle starts next week. They have the models photos and audition interviews up on the UPN site. I think this cycle looks much better than the last one, but you can never tell until they get going with the photo shoots. So many models that I don't really like how they look end up with gorgeous photos. Okay, now everyone go to UPN and tell me what you think of the models. I know I'm not the only who will be watching this show!

Hard to tell from the small pics they have there now. There seem to be quite a few who are fairly buxom and one who looks flat as a board (for that waif look). Can't wait to watch the fur fly!

I have been looking forward for this season. Love this show. Love "Miss" J and glad he is one of the judges this year along with Twiggy. Will miss Janice though - she was a hoot!

The Tyra Banks talk show had lots of girls from all the old episodes on. It was interesting to hear what was happening with all of them (eg Shandi and the boyfriend have broken up - she is the one who cheated on him in Italy) The biggest news was about EVA- the winner two seasons ago is dating hunky HENRY SIMMONS from NYPD Blue fame Also re Tiffany, the one Tyra yelled at when she eliminated her, they are still in touch with each other and Tyra is really trying to help her.

Hi everyone! So I thought this was the best looking group of girls for sure. But for some reason I felt more bored watching than I have in past seasons. Not sure if its getting old for me or if I will feel more engaged as we get to know them...

I noticed maybe 1 or 2 having a potential to become TOP especially with the right make up and retouched photo they'll be just as gorgeous as the real ones out there... but there are so many just there for easy eliminations...

Tyra Banks: UPN executives will probably be willing to dress in drag to appear on Banks' America's Next Top Model reality series now that it is the network's main performance vehicle. The show's two-hour, fifth season premiere on Wednesday in the 8-10pm time slot ranked as the second most viewed program on major television among adults in the 18-34 age category, trailing only ABC's Lost special and Lost season premiere. UPN webmasters will now have to contend with the show's success. Yesterday, UPN.com unveiled an online talk show centered around Banks' series that's hosted by former "Next Top Model" participant April Wilkner and Access Hollywood correspondent Egypt. TV NOW

i loved the show! the girl who trips (lol) with the big lips...sarah, is from a town near here where i live. i guess she's who i'm rooting for, although, if she doesn't figure out a way to not fall while walking (ROFL!) she probably won't last long. one of my friends' husband is actually from boonville, mo.

I agree, Pamy, she was very pretty. But didn't the judges say something like "All she has going for her is being pretty". Stupid statement to make in a models' competition. Some of the ones from last year were not only unpretty, they were bordering on ugly. When watching real fashion shows, there aren't any ugly women who are trying to pass for pretty. I like all the girls this year though.

I happened to catch a rerun of the premiere tonight. God help me, I like this season! I wondered what it would be like to not have Janice as a judge, but I have to say, Twiggy really brings value to the show. I hope we see more of her. The girl who tripped on the catwalk--Sarah--she looks a lot like Paris Hilton. U like Kim (the lesbian chick). I think casting her was a good idea. Next week is the makeovers. The makeover episode is always my favorite. Afterward, you completely forget what the girls looked like before.

Scorp, I like this season, too!!! All the girls seem happy and friendly and well balanced. I didn't sense any of the huge anger and hostility we've seen in the past. Also like Twiggy's comments, but am going to miss Janice's snarking. This should be good.

I just thought of something. Maybe they were bringing on those angry women and stirring things up for a little drama last season. Ugh. Bad mistake. And very boring

Interesting group this season and all seem able to be selected in the end. They do seem well balanced in one way but also each individually seem more willing to do what they have to to beat the next girl. Should be a good season.

I know this is probably a stupid question but can someone tell me if J is a man or a woman. I watched most of last season and I started this season, but I can't figure out if she is a woman that looks like a man or a man who wants to be a woman. I don't mean to offend anyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows the answer. Thanks

There is a rumor going around that Coryn is transgender -- Tyra and others have alluded in the press to a huge secret that comes out about one of the girls this season. Even before the series started, there were rumblings on the net that one of the models was transgender. I have no idea if this rumor has any traction at all, but it has been out there for a while. Just because a rumor has been widespread on the net doesn't always make it true. But who knows?!

what's difference between transexual and transgender? does it mean that she had the actual surgery to make her a girl? and if so why would she do it if she still likes women?

Being transgender or transsexual (I think the two terms are synonymous} has little to do with sexual preference. It's more about feeling comfortable in your skin. Some folks who make the gender switch never change their preference for sexual partners. That is, if a male switches to being female and previously preferred female sex partners, that preference may not change. That's not always the case -- some do switch their preference as they become more comfortable in their new bodies. Really, though, gender dysmorphia has little to do with sexual preference and everything to do with gender identification. As for Coryn, I'd be really surprised if someone would perform gender reassignment surgery on such a young person (she's only 19). However, in looking at her photos, that would explain the slight hips (very straight torso into the hips, not curvy as most female bodies are), muscle definition in her arms, groucho marx eyebrow choice, and lack of makeup knowledge. Of course, all of those things could also be present in a young woman of 19, so who knows? I do think she has a fairly androgenous face, but an interesting look. If she is transgender, then I say good for her! Many times, transgender folks have a very, very difficult time because few people can understand their situation. In some of the gay community, they are rejected just as badly as in the straight community. It's a very, very difficult issue to deal with. So, if Coryn really is transgender and has chosen to compete in for a modeling contract and managed to come this far, then it's a really good thing for the transgender community to see as well as for her own self confidence.

Here's what I found from google: Broadly speaking, transgender people are individuals whose gender expression and/or gender identity differs from conventional expectations based on the physical sex they were born into. The word transgender is an umbrella term which is often used to describe a wide range of identities and experiences, including: FTMs, MTFs, cross-dressers, drag queens, drag kings, gender queers, and many more. ... A transformation in which the person's gender changes. Involving a partial or full reversal of gender
