When this was on UPN they always had a rerun night. That was good for me because I am out on Wednesday night. Does anyone know if the CW is planning a rerun night?

Interesting, Dolphinschild. My father in law is from India, and he says East Indian. I say just Indian.

When I saw the shots of the girls before the show my fav was AJ and after watchig the show I still agree!!!!

AJ has one of the greatest faces (she reminds me of yoanna..is that how you spell it?)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Caridee's attitude! She is sooo fun!!

As far as Melrose goes...I thought that they were way harsh on her!!! She said that she had a hard time doing the shots because she was trying not to cry! I was so GLAD they didnt eliminate her. And she rocked by saying "I'm sorry. It wont happen again." Now they cant accuse her of trying to make excuses!

My favs:
1. AJ
2. CariDee
3. Melrose
4. Megan
5. Jaeda
6. Brooke
7. Michelle
8. Anchal
9. Christian
10. Eugena
11. Amanda
12. Meg
13. Monique

She told me her dad would have taken great offense though and not been so nice about it. Is your father-in-law Indian? Made me think though, so I quit saying it, so I would not accidently offend anyone.

I didn't know this show started. I'm going to have to watch it because DD went to a casting call and got a call back. Personally, I can't see her doing a reality show, she's always been so focused on her education. I never had a clue she would be interested in something like this.

That is interesting DC, cuz I've always referred to them as East Indian too again because India is east of us here. Wow.

Perhaps like with anything, some people are more sensitive to it than others. India also has a very diverse and different population so perhaps "East Indian" would have a different connotation depending upon where you're from. <shrugs>

(And yes, my father in law is Indian, and he says East...)

Their family was from the North (father) and South (mother) regions of India and she was adament that her people and culture said that the Indians in the East Region are dirty and low class. So maybe it is just their prejudices, I don't know. She gave me something to think about though, realized that I never know who I am talking too and how the other person believes, so I need to concider how I talk.

For instance, someone once said to me, people are prejudice by the way they talk and they don't know it. Such as a black girl says, Oh he is good looking for being white, Or a white girl says, he is good looking for a black guy. She said that is prejudice remarks. If you find the guy attractive, then the statement should just be, "he is attractive," and his skin color or race don't matter... I thought about what this lady said and she was right. Society is always adding the race when they also give out compliments to someone or about someone. Such as beautiful woman for being black, or beautiful woman for being Asian, beautiful woman for being Indian etc.... I then became conscience of how I spoke, so I would not sound prejudice, especially when I am not. Then this girl came up with that about East Indian, and I realized, maybe I need to take that lesson a step further and honor that.

That the East Indians, refering to the Indians in the East of India are not concidered well in her country, they are concidered, dirty, low class people.

Super interesting posts Dolphinschild. Since I dont label people by their ancestry I dont think I've ever SAID East Indian to anyone or used it in a conversation. Why would I? I was raised with so many cultural backgrounds.

I hate to say it but I think you were reprimanded by someone who is racist against those 'commoners' in the East of the Country. I can assure you, certain ancestry groups from India are not only extremely dark skinned...often there is a weird blotchyness that almost makes it looks like dirt on the skin. Mottled. I HATE that the lady who talked to you would try to make you feel bad due directly to her own prejudices.

East Indian is the common term, whether she likes it or not.

Oh well, the class system is all over Europe as well. My aunt's favourite hairdresser was fired in Vienna. Why?? because her 'country' accent was disgusting the high class clientelle.

There are around six different dialects of German in that town alone. Your class is often shown by which german you speak.

We sure do live in a weird world. Since I was raised so multiculturally I cant wrap my brain around some of the stuff I hear that occurs in the States. We are so different here. IN this province, BC, we are over 30% Asian population. Very melting pot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Canadian
snip*
Indo-Canadians are Canadians whose origin traces back to the nation of India. The term Indian is not commonly used to describe people of ancestral origin from India since it has been used in the past and present to refer to the Aboriginals of Canada.

The term East Indian is also used to distinguish people of ancestral origin from India, from the people of the Caribbean, who are sometimes referred to as West Indian. Most Indo-Canadians prefer, and many times will refer to themselves, as Indians more than East Indians. This is partially because many of them are immigrants who are used to being referred to as the internationally-used term.

However, because the term East Indian is not pejorative and is in widespread use in Canada, this term is accepted by Indo-Canadians.

(( YOU know this is what I like about TVCH. So many interesting people and exchanging of ideas and stories))

there were some different girls this year, i thought. already don't like monique. what the hell? like tyra said about melrose (i think - and i think they were mistaken about her) "if you're a b*****, hide it". whew, monique isn't doing a good job of hiding it.

i am confused about one thing...did the girl who went from homeless to homecoming queen make it? or is that the girl who said she was opinionated and talks bad about people? they both had shorter hair than the rest. i'm guessing it's the homecoming queen girl, because she doesn't appear to be mouthy.

pamy, the plane crash girl? i didn't know she was a lesbian? and i thought the twins look like shandi, too.

Sunshyne, I'm a fairly new watcher of this show. I have only watched last cycle in it's entirety as well as watching 1 and 2 in reruns on Life. I guess Nigels Bollywood shoot was in one of the season's I missed.

Jbeanie I don't think the homeless/homecoming queen made the final cut but I'm not totally sure.

Eugena, wasnt she the one that her mom dropped her off at a shelter and took off?

Raised in fostercare? I think so.

Not a problem Jasper. I think it was the season that Nicole won.

how funny... no one here has mentioned the "controversial" photo shoot when ET has been making a big fuss about it... well, I think the controversy helped the show... eh, eh...

and so what, it's true that many models puke to stay thin... yep, an "inconvenient truth" but truth it is... Thank goodness someone in Spain wants to get rid of skinny models, no more 'anorexic' look, they're fired on the spot... They want "slim" and "healthy"... finally!!!

I am disappointed with Monique, I don't know why I just am...was it she who poured water on a bed so she can call it hers? that i did not appreciate.

Meemo.... the controversy what NOT the nude shoot...
it was the bulemia (the girl who puked)typecast shoot... ET and others criticized the choice by the show producers.. dumb in my view, as it was meant to show one bad side of the models world...

I guess I'm the first one to divulge my thoughts on the new epi.....

I LOVED the funky hair photo shoot! That is one thing that ANTM impresses me with. They never fail to come up with a completely unique shoot idea each week!

I'm actually glad that they kept Jaeda. I may catch a lot of flock for this but although Megan was pretty I just didn't 'feel' her. Meg either. That rocker chic just annoys me. "Yeah baby! Rock on!" That is ALL that ever comes out of her mouth!

Man...Monique is DONE for me. Last week she was on the edge.....but that phone call....lol..DONE!

The twins have been doing well but again I still like the Michelle one better. Her tucan (sp?) picture rocked it!

Melrose, AJ and CariDee were FIERCE in those photos. To me they had the most unique poses and hair 'structures'. Loved Melrose's pose to the left it was so awkward looking that it looked AWESOME! CariDee's red hair looked like flames, I loved it she totally owned it. And AJ...ahhh....what else need I say. I love AJ! She's my favorite. Of course I completely disagree with the judge's saying that her nose looked big! It did not! MY nose is big! LOL

Anchal, Brook and Eugena were kind of blah for me this week. Nothing to say about them.

I have to agree with Jay (the blonde one). The girls were acting totally bogus about the 'makeovers'. HELLO? Did they watch all the other seasons? If I were going on ANTM and makeovers were coming up I would just prepare AND be willing to accept the worst imaginable hairdo. What can one do? they obviously know what they want and what will look good on them. I say have at 'er!

I'm kinda getting a hetero-girl crush on AJ. But she'll never replace Janelle. (that's for you all you BB7'ers) LOL

I loved those fly hairdos too!! And the colors were so amazing and happy looking to me.

I do wish they did more layering with Anchel's hair though. Whew that hairline thing must've hurt lol. Love Jaeda's cut and she has a great grade of hair to carry it also.

I so not like Monique at all. I want her gone. I like everyone else.

My favorite is the girl who got all of her hair cut last night. They said she was manly? or something like that, anyway, I find her beautiful inside and out.
I also like Anchal(sp) especially after she got in Monique's face for the long phone call.
I also like the perky 18 yr old who was blonde and I like the girl who was in the airplane crash.

i thought jaeda's short short cut was great. she was very pretty with shoulder length hair, but she is stunning with halle-hair.

i don't like how so many of the girls got extensions. meg's new do especially didn't flatter her.

i think it would be great if frederic fekkai (sp?) had more input on the hairstyles rather than it being mostly what tyra wants. on that note...i'm not sure whether i'm going to be able to hang in for the whole season because tyra is already bugging me bad.

i was sorry to see megan go last night. i think the person with the least potential right now is meg. i guess i just don't see what the judges see in her. or maybe it's her fake rock chick thing that's colouring how i see her.

monique needs to be slapped upside the head with a mackerel.

i found it strange that the two girls left with short hair were in the bottom two.

I was surprised that Megan left. I thought her pic was okay and it isnt her fault that they did very little with her makeup and hair.

that short pixiecut wig with the spinning wheels on each side was nothing that could be worked with...like the other girls hairdesigns. those were cool.

It makes me wonder if she wasnt chosen to leave BEFORE the comp.
