Yes, I saw Eva on the Kevin Hill show. I thought she did a great job. Her face is very expressive and she photographs beautifully. What a kick that must be for her!

How funny that Brittany then stole all the attention at the party. Yeah, like she was completely LOADED!!! There is something Manic about that girl. Even on the safari she was unable to be quiet/do not move and keep her mouth shut. I really dont know who will win this year. I keep changing my mind. Naima has that Dull "I've had enough" look in her eyes so I would assume she will be gone next week. I too am NOT an Eva fan. Her fake squealing and giggling during Judging turned me off. Especially when she seemed so mean and malicious towards some of the other girls in the house. I've never liked "fake" people. Felt bad for Christine though. Dont think she saw her demise coming until she heard that the other girls DIDNT think she had TOP MODEL potential. That must have hurt!

Wow ~ I can't believe how the judges are perceiving Naima or I wonder if that is to throw us off from the finale. Sounds like next week is a recap and then I'm guessing the finale the week after that. Does anyone know? Looking back at my first post for this season, I thought Keenyah had a good chance. And while she still obviously does, my fondness of her has gone way down after tonight. Brittney was and is way too out there and seriously needs to consider her drinking habits. Kahlen seems too fragile and I honestly haven't found any of her shots to be that great. Should we assume Naima wins and they're just trying to throw us off tonight? I thought her shot tonight was gorgeous!

Keenyah is really on my last nerve, and brittney was just a little to much of a wipe out for my taste, i am wondering if the editing is done to throw us off, i actually like Kahlen and Naima, i think they are both frustrated at the elementry school atitude thease other girls have, just the way brit and keenyah act alone would make me clam up, i dont like that kinda inmaturity expecialy when they are in places representing the U.S. or whatever....there is a time and place for every thing...they need to grow up to fit the big girl shoes....

I so agree about Keenyah's and Brittiny's antics and screaming fights--way too much. I was also put out by Keenyah's attitude that because she is black she is entitled to open the Mandela cell. But I totally supported her when she was upset by that guy, was his name Benini or something? No one wants a guy with a major hard-on grinding against your back and his hand crawling up toward your crotch. Ugh. Too bad she didn't have enough confidence to tell him to stop it or lose it. I also feel these girls got cheated out of a nice trip. The others got Paris, Milano, Tokyo---and now Capetown? I don't care how they tried to puff it up, it pales by comparison. London would have been the obvious choice, or Rio de Janeiro. Since Naima has won 9 call-ins in a row, I hope they don't try and give the first place to someone else.

I think Keenyah has a history of finding things to blame her shortcomings on and this was just another example. Of course the guy was out of line but she needed to buck up and deal. She could have turned her body so she was gyrating on the opposite guy yet she stayed by hard on boy. She is in the final 4. This is do or die time. She couldn't have been that offended if she went to dinner with him later on.

I'm again appalled at how ignorant most of these girls are. Don't they read? Don't they ever open a paper or surf the Internet? Haven't they gone to school? First they could barely read the text during the reporter challenge, now some of them don't seem to have any idea at all who Nelsan Mandela is. Good grief! And Keenya making a big deal about being "the only black girl" there made it even worse. She is so NOT connected to her culture! She should be ashamed of herself. Heck, all of them should be extremely embarrassed by their lack of knowledge of the world they live in. I know they are young, but they aren't stupid. The other thing is that these girls are an emotional wreck. Keenya is stress eating like crazy. Kahlen is melting down because she's picked last and then again when the others are arguing. Brittany acts out in major ways and seems to drink a little too much when alcohol is available. And Naima is so emotionally muted that it may end up costing here the competition. It would seem that all of them will have difficulties dealing with the stress that winning this competition will bring. And Keenyah seriously needs to grow up. Yeah, that model was creepy and crossed a line. But it's up to her to ENFORCE that line. She acted like a little girl and she needs to be a woman who knows how to assert herself. If she can't handle a randy model on a photo shoot that's being monitored by TV cameras, she's going to find it very, very difficult to hold her own when she gets into the "real world" of modeling.

Brittany Despite the fact that her pictures have been great, they said she had lost her "inner fire" that they saw early on. It seemed odd to me that they let her go instead of Kahlen, since Kahlen continues to be criticized for not being able to look sexy and since her "dancing" was absolutely terrible. Actually, the voting last night seemed to me to be the most "rigged" of all, seeming to concur with some of the speculation that they've already picked who they want to win and the rest is just for show.

I agree, Max. Brittany going was a bit weird when she has given them everything they've wanted from week to week. I think they know who it is already at this point too. Why does it matter to them how Naima's personality is when she delivers everytime? I am sure not all models are emotionally available and boisterous. She may not be good tv for them but as far as modeling goes, what has she really done wrong? These girls are an ignorant group. The things they don't know from week to week astound me. I would like to know some more background on Kahlen. Her reactions to guys coupled with how freaked out she got when they were arguing is very strange behavior, imo. She seems to be sheltered beyond belief but in a debilitating way. I would be more nervous about that than Naima's emotions if I were them.

I found Kahlen's crying pathalogical too. Heaven help her if someone yells AT her I like her but she seems in need of professional help. Same with the sexuality stuff... it seems maybe she has been abused? Naima's beauty still jumps out at me. Tyra has emphasized that a 'top model' needs the whole package, including a sparkling personality, so maybe thats why she gets on her. Although I am not sure that even all of the supermodels have this. And lets face it... supermodel? I have to admit I thought Keenyah looked gorgeous last night. It was the first time I saw more than your average pretty girl. Interesting how suddenly her paunch didnt matter this week. I was a bit surprised they let Brittany go. I guess they just did not see a competitive fire, which is relevant because for these girls to be successful in the real world after winning they have to be very aggressive. Plus Brittany does not always make the best first impression so maybe they saw a problem there too. I am also surprised at these girls naivete as well as how goofy/unkempt they tend to look and how unconfident they all seem to be.

I have been wondering why they haven't shown as much of Janice and the judging this year. I think she and Tyra fought over Brittney and maybe Tyra had Janice edited out a lot this year. Britt and Niama shoulda been final 2 not bottom 2. I hope Britt makes it big, I really like her, I know she is out there to some but I am kinda like her and always enjoy fun wild ppl

They did the same thing last year to the dancer. They told her not to look like such a dancer then the shoot was on a trampoline so she tried to tone it down and they dogged her for NOT looking like a dancer! This is what frustrates me about judging shows. American Idol does it too. They tell someone their song choice is too safe and boring then the next week when they try to shake it up they ask where the "old so and so" went to.

Yup, Pamy and Fabnsab, totally agree. While I wasn't a fan of Brittany's, the judging is really ridiculous. They tell her to tone it down and then tell her she's lost her spunk or whatever. After both Keenyah and Kahlen had difficult judgins -- particularly Kahlen -- they cut Brittany? It makes no sense, and really makes me believe that everyone doesn't have an equal chance from judging to judging -- that much of who stays or goes is predetermined.

True, guys, so true about Brittany. The only reason I could sort of see the judges point of view is because last week the girls had to judge each other, Brittany did not show any competitiveness at all. She was just like 'great pic' for everyone. Which made me like her more as a person but I guess I can see how the judges felt she wasnt looking to seriously compete or win... and maybe it would translate to the 'real world.' Although when she was at that dinner with Keenyah she looked pretty damn aggressive!

I think you can still be competetive yet not feel comfortable dogging the competition. Tyra is breeding catty supermodels if she felt that was a true challenge where the snarkiest girl shows the most drive. Don't they always tell the girls not to say anything bad about the other girls when they do their little interview challenges? Another double standard.

This was a strange episode. I found it really disturbing when Keenyah kept going on about being black...ignoring Naima when she gave her family ancestry. ie/ 3/4 black. That concept that someone isnt "black enough" bothers me as it is kindof reverse racism. ANYWAYS, poor Britt got gooned and made a scene again. that probably lead the judges to let her go. Keenyah is keeping the drama going so she had to stay. Also, about the male model dancing and grunting. That is African-type dancing! Rhythmic grunting is part of the movement (same as most polynesian male dances as well) I didnt see any 'hardon' and I dont think he was acting any more sexual (during the shoot) then the other two male models. I found him kinda creepy and overly scharmy when they were talking BEFORE the shoot though. My theory is that Kaylen is a virgin and raised with good morals. Carousing around half naked with men on these different shoots is contrary to her background so she is uncomfortable and stilted. I thought she was going to win this show, I am now Backing Naima!! Go girl

Have to say to 'ditto' to all the comments by everyone about the inconsistencies and double standards and how Keenyah could have handled the one model differently. I too wondered why she didn't just turn and twirl away from him as she danced. Bob ~ thanks for the info on the finale!

WHOOPS I made a mistake. Naima is only half black. I said 3/4 in an earlier post. Not that it matters but I like to post when I've made a mistake (its just me) Watched MOST of the recap episode (took a break from watching the Election results) The small amount of new stuff was not worth mentioning. SIGH!

Glad to hear that really nothing new was shown during the recap since I missed it. Looking forward to tonight's show. With all of the finales of my fav shows - I have a feeling I will be going thru withdrawal symptoms in the next day or two.

I caught the ANTM marathon on VH1 over the weekend. Sad as it is, I was glued to the television for eleven hours. It was the same way last season too! Overall, I prefered Brittany's look and thought she took the best photos. Of the remaining three I would like to see it come down to Kahlen/Keeynah with Keeynah winning. Although I don't care very much for her attitude, she does seem like someone who would handle the spotlight well.
