Ok, I've just seen the first segment and I think Tyra has lost her dang mind. I didn't think the show could get any cheesier, but whoa!!! I am sorta embarassed to be sitting here watching. Yeeps.

I like Whitney so far and the other +size model.

I agree on the beginning - very cheesy.

Blonde Jay had lots of make-up tonight... or more than usual I think.

Why does every girl think you have to do that "my shoes are stuck in the mud" runway walk?

mail order bride??? ICK 18 yrs old marrying the 40 yr old because he gave her opportunities?? DOUBLE ick with a side of gag.

She was a beautiful girl. You can guarantee that after this season Premiere hundreds of men went online to look up how to get a russian bride.

SIGH, I saw a tv show on those poor girls. Many end up in some really awful situations.
****

I am not going to pick my winner quite yet. However, that Mom who is bordering on a nervous breakdown is my choice for next to leave.

I hope

My daughter and I cannot wait for this show to start partly because we love it, but mostly because it annoys the heck outta my husband! LOL. He'd rather watch paint dry.

We both started out kind of liking Renee (as SunShyne said the mom bordering on a nervous breakdown) and we were quickly hoping for her fast exit. I can see them keeping both Renee and Natasha around just for the drama/ irritation factor.

My fav right now is Jael but I reserve the right to change my mind many times. I think Whitney is adorable and predict she will win.

I couldn't believe that beginning with 'boot camp'!! That was so ridiculous!! And those women were already so catty with one another!!

Sunshyne-I couldn't believe Natasha too! She's very outspokenand definitely doesn't hold back on voicing her opinion, ie when she told the girls they're models and should act like ladies and not belch or fart or somethign to that effect. I'm sure you're also right that many men were looking online trying to find their own mail-order-bride now too! Ewwww and double YUCK! Her husband must be a pretty good as otherwise he wouldn't let her be on the show and become famous, famous and wealthy enough to leave him!

I liked that woman with the big red hair that got booted, she was funny. She was completely clueless though with the "Anti-fur" ad. lol

I wasn't surprised the tatoo woman got the boot. She was gorgeous but having to airbrush her tat's for each show would be too much work is my theory why they didn't keep her.

And that is my 2 cents for the first episodes!

I don't think the tattoos were an issue. Lots of models, expecially male models, have alot of tatts that get airbrushed for print ads.

I like Whitney. She's got attitude with a capital A and lots of curves. The other plus-sized gal (Diana?) has a nice look, too, but not the personality that Whitney has. I would love, love, love to see a Zaftig girl win this thing! (Not that I think there's a hope in h-e-double-hockey-sticks of that happening.)

Natasha... oh my. For someone who met her 'husband' either online or in one of those Russian bride arranged meetings, and who says the only English she knew at the time was "Hi, my name is Natasha," and "I love you," she sure is judgmental about everyone else and how they live their lives! I feel alternately pity for and loathing of her. She is pretty, but the attitude sucks.

Same with the photographer gal. I like her look, but she was flat in the shoot and her attitude is pretty much, "I'm better than all of you," coupled with, "I'm the best model, the best photographer, the best everything," irritates me. I think it's true what the Renee (I think it was her) said about her -- she seems very insecure and hiding behind that attitude.

Which brings me to Renee. Child, go home to your baby! It really seems to me that there's some back story with her that we haven't seen yet. It's just not as simple as "I want this for my son," and "I just had a baby 7 months ago." First of all, she said her husband is in Maui, but she's living with her mom in Palm Springs. Then she said she had the baby 7 months ago. Then she showed the pics of the kid and he looked more like a year old to me (but then, what do I know about kids, really). Then she said something that made me think the kid was with her husband, not her mom. I think she's hiding some insecurities and troubles of her own behind her "let's get real" talks with Jael and the others. She's alternately tough in the house and at shoots and then completely weak at judging. Color me confused and curious about the real story there.

I liked the big-haired gal, too. I really wanted to see her make it to the makeover to see what they did with that weave! She did seem completely clueless, though, even though she balked at calling herself 'slow.' Seemed like she was pretty sweet, though, even if she didn't catch on to the concepts and vocabulary very quickly. :-)

Max--About REnee I too thought the pictures of her baby looked like a one year old. So then I thought maybe there Renee was another model and the one with the 7month old already got booted? I agree that she seemed so consumed with 'getting real' I think to distract her from her own worries. It could just be she misses her baby, I have a 5 month old and can't imagine being away from her for more than 2 hours!! lol However, maybe you're right and we don't know her whole story yet.

who says the only English she knew at the time was "Hi, my name is Natasha," and "I love you,"

And that reminded me of Documentaries about the Sex workers in Bangkok. Learning to speak the same words in order to "hook up"

I hate to say it but, Many Russian girls end up doing 'anything' to get out of their country.

I'm not saying the Top Model Contestant is...just that some girls do anything to get away from the poverty and disease. Especially if from the area of Chernobyl.

Well, the good thing about it is she seems very appreciative of him and from what she said, he seems to treat her very well.

Dylan looked 13mo old at 7mo...depends on the kid. I dont think they will let her win because she would be away from her kid so much at such a young age...or I should say I dont want her to win.

I was really surprised at the first boot, I liked her and thought there were a few others that had bad pics.

I don't care for Natasha, she really is judgemental in how she interacts with the other girls. I really hope she gets the boot early. I dont think she is all that hot anyway.

I too would love to see a "normal" size girl get really far in the competition or win, but somehow I really don't see that happening.

I do love watching this show though.. and reminisce about me being that skinny when I was their age.. arrhh how I wish there was a little less of me now lol..

How come ANTM doesn't have it own thread?I always forget where it is.Anyways I thought Diana looked kind of awkward in her shoot,but I would love to see her and Whitney go far,I think that's their names,I don't want to refer to them as the plus size models.I agree about Natasha she completely annoyed me.I thought Kathleen? was so cute,to bad she got the boot.I love watching and seeing what will happen next!!!!!

Mictay, that is why I said they were "normal" size gals, not plus size...

They are definitely not plus size per se.. but I guess being a size 12 in the modeling world is plus size. Such a shame though.. they need more "normal" size models in these competitions, then it would be more realistic, and not encouraging young girls to starve themselves.

I too was sorry to see Kathleen go, it would have been pretty cool to see her development.
