I taped the Diva special, so I'll have to re-watch it while recapping to make sure I get it right. Or if I can find a link that already contains the recap.
I will get back to you on that Alisons.

Cant believe they sent Brita home. BEEFY?? THICK>>???!!

The girl was muscular and that pose made her legs muscles bulge. YES she was 138 lbs...and lets be honest. THAT is why she was eliminated...not because of that one picture. HER topless postmakeover picture was gorgeous. Why did those pics not make it to the Final Judgement??

You are right. That orangehaired weavegirl was complaining and unreasonable. Cant believe she didnt go home!! Mind you, just think of the 'counselling' Tyra will be able to do this season with this cast.

Everyshow Tyra brings up stuff from her past to try to relate to the girls. I'm sorry but I think showing her 'prenosejob' pics as an example of how her mom wanted her to be a model is in poor taste (just my opinion)

The fact is that she didnt get anywhere without surgery....at an incredibly young age. To be accenting 'work what you got!!' when the truth is...if you dont got it, GET it.

Just my random thoughts.

I can't believe she sent Brita home. She said she had gained 10 lbs, not 20. I don't recall them commenting on her weight, but they did on Michelle's. OK, so her photo wasn't the best but why not give her a chance. Tyra hasn't always eliminated girls when their first photo shoot did not come out well. At least Brita didn't have an attitude. I don't even think that Brandi is cute. I also thought these makeovers were much better than last time. Although that poor Michelle did not need that phony looking bleached hair, imo.

OK, I watched the re-run of this last night, after having missed it earlier in the week. I may just give up on this show, after watching the first three seasons.

First off, the chick they sent home was NOT heavy. And yes, they commented that she "looked like a slab of beef" while posing. That's awful and wrong. Eating disorder, I introduce you to Brita.

It really does show you that it's ALL about the height and weight in modelling.

A few of the girls -- Noelle, Brandi, Michelle -- all look quite "normal" to me in the facial area.

And I can't even THINK of a worse dye job to give someone than they gave Michelle. (And what was up with the shaking? I bleach my hair and have NEVER had it burn like that.)

Also, don't they have makeup people on that show? Powder her darn forehead before you put her under those lights, for pete's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christina? Yes, bug eyes. But what bothers me more are the bags under her eyes and her severe mouth. Pretty girl, for sure. Top model? Well, what the heck do I know? I didn't think Brita was fat, either.

I could go on and on ... the fake setup in the fake police uniforms at the beginning? Stupid.

Oh, well. I might give it a few more episodes, but I'm sorta, well ... over it.

Luvmykitties, that would be SO AWESOME if you could post a recap! Thanks in advance!

Here is what I do not understand about booting Brita for her weight - they were actually considering plus size models right up to the end, why not give this girl a chance to lose the 10 pounds?? She was maybe a little big for a top model but she was not out of the ballpark by any means. Probably the fact that she was older (25) did not help either. But then again, Amanda from last time was around the same age or older!

It was cracking me up how some of the girls after the makeover did their hair a different way. That reminds me of me the first time that I do my hair after getting it cut - I can NEVER get it to look the way the stylist got it to look! Are you supposed to 'fess up to Tyra, my name is Alison and I am a BLOWDRYING BOZO???

Was Tyra WAAAAY condescending? Or do these girls need that? It was so condescending when she said to ? "Who learned a lesson today?" That is something I might say to my five year old.

(Yankee, I think I might be over it too. Time will tell.)

Brita has one of the best bodies I've ever seen in my life! Even in the picture. WHAT are they thinking?!!!

I am pretty sure I have heard Tyra reveal on daytime that she weighs in the 140s. Granted she may be a couple of inches taller, but still...

Why not let Brita lose a few lbs, I agree. And give her another chance to relax in front of the camera. First day jitters dont mean anything. Look at how many chances they were willing to give Ann last season. And what about Lluvy? Brita looked so much hotter and imo more attractive than the majority of the pics they have had in this show. Her body was to die for.

I think they knew she was the most gorgeous girl there and were on some kind of a sick ego trip sending her home first. I am convinced they are anti-blondists there

Julieboo, Tyra being condescending is not exactly a "new" feature of this show.

Buggles, ITA with you. Here is Lluvey AFTER the makeover. I don't think she can hold a candle to Brita (even with the extra ten pounds). I don't think it was Brita's age. She looked about 20 to me. She didn't even need a makeover so they just curled her hair. The judges compared Lluvey to Shelly Duvall! The poll has her as the next to leave and Brittany as the favorite. While I think she is very pretty, I really thought they would go for a blonde this time around.

Hey thanks for the pics Now I feel a tad bad saying that about Lluvy cause she actually looks surprisingly good to me in that pic. But her 'alien' one was just dreadful.

Brita has the best body of ALL FOUR seasons imho. Why guy or woman wouldn't want it?? Not to be rude, but are they serious, Yoanna House? And what about that heavy black woman they had last season (forgetting her name). I realize she was plus-size, but still......

Maybe the whole modeling industry has lost the plot. It seems they are REALLY dismissive of obvious beauty (except for Tyra of course).

Brita's body is beautiful in the above photo. Nice legs, flat stomach, a chest that is real, not implants like Tyra's..

You're right - this photo is dreadful. She looks like Olive Oyl.

I've been thinking. Brita was rather volumptous ie/ large chested, small waist. Not really like the other girls

They CHOSE not to give her any kind of a makeover even though a good haircut would have been in order. I personally feel that she was chosen as the one to leave BEFORE that socalled Judging session.

I think they casted for personality and conflict this season. What we saw of Brita she didnt fit that criteria.

Well and I think it was a disadvantage for all of the girls for the first shot to be heavy makeup and strange clothes/poses. The last time they had a fairly normal start, this time they hit them with an "alien" shot and a nude shot right off the bat!

Yes, Brita was built like a real woman, not like a clothes hanger!

WHY do we put up with the fashion industry using models who look NOTHING like normal women??

Yeah they always seem to favor the girls with the attitude problems. If I was on this show I would pretend I was really angsty These people would hate me

I agree they didn't like Brita's maturity and self-confidence. Including the fact that she was comfortable with her 'high' weight and looked AWESOME with it (I'm sure they were jealous). Also I bet they didn't like when she said she was glad they didn't do much to her look because she's experimented and always comes back to the same thing. They always like to do funky/ugly changes to the girls from week to week.

I also think they sent home the wrong girl.

Why are they keeping Brandy? First of all I am horrified by the gap in her teeth, is it just me? She can get that fixed, how could she possibly be a top model with teeth like that or do people think it gives her personality? Then add in the bad attitude and to me it spells not even close to america's next top model..

As for the rest, all the girls seem okay to me, I especially like Tiffany and thought her makeover was superb.

Brita looks nowhere near overweight to me, can't understand why she was booted so soon, she's absolutely gorgeous!

It does look like a good season as usual, looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds and if there's gonna be catfights like last season, hopefully this group will be a bit more mature...

Brita certainly did not give them the "drama" they wanted. Maybe they think Brandy will be the next AA Lauren Hutton with the gap in her teeth.

As a straight woman, I can tell you that the first thing that stood out this season for me was Brita's body on that first episode. She has the perfect body! I even showed her to hubby. She could be the next VS Angel looking like that. Perfect curves. She just exudes sexiness.
They screwed up bigtime, sending her home.

Ok, thank you guys for mentioned Christina's eyes. She reminds me of some girls I have seen who have been complimented on their eyes so much that they bug them out to show them off. I know I sound mean but its true.

The biggest shock was the blond girl who had shoulder length hair and they gave her extensions- she started out wholesome and plain and I wondered why she was there. At the end, she looked gorgeous.

Would it matter to have sent her away now or in a couple of episodes? In the end only one will make it and those who aren't any better than Brita will help in the elimination process, they'll be easy to get rid of when the "favorite" may badly lose a competition but still they want to keep her. (look how Eva still made it when she lost the acting comp and japanese commercials).
Still, I can't spot the "favorite" as yet...

Brandi has big teeth with a gap like Condalezza Rice, maybe that is the look they are going for? In the previews for next week they showed her getting in a fight with another girl, (I think) but it was so quick i wasn't sure who it was.
I missed the first half, did anything happen?

How many freaking times can they use the word "fierce" in one show??? It should be a new drinking game. I am getting so sick of it!!

I think they made the right decision tonight. I think they're being unfair to Brittany because they haven't showed her how to be less sexy. If they would only guide her instead of just stating it then she can work on it.

I can't imagine a designer out there who would want to put a model who can faint with no notice on a runway. It wasn't even a faint. When a woman faints, she is more willowy. She dropped. It was strange. I feel badly for her but it doesn't blend well with high fashion.

I was shocked at how long it took everyone to respond to her fainting too. I wouldn't be surprised if they did numerous takes to get Tyra sponging her face off.

Fab, as long as it is a "fierce" collapse, I'm sure it would do well on the runway!

I think they made the right decision tonight also, though last week they made a big deal of the dismissed girl having a great photo. They seem very schizo in their judging.

They tend to get in a rut with their criticisms of the girls, so I doubt that Britany would be able to break out of their "porno" label even if she came in dressed as the pope! One of the other girls kept sticking her butt out and no one made a porno reference.

I never heard of the shoe person they went to this week.

Stuart Weitzman is a huge name in shoes. He does alot of shoes for actresses on Oscar day. If you're a reality show fan, maybe you'll remember the outrageously expensive shoes Trista(Bachelorette) wore at her wedding. They were made by Stuart Weitzman.

He makes some "fierce" shoes!
