So these are Renee's opinions:

Sarah only won first challenge because she's a photographer so that's what "she's good at", and would know how to pose.

Jael only won thrift store challenge because she's a "thrift store girl". Maui, where Renee comes from, hardly has any thrift stores, so she couldn't be good at it.

Renee lost the political statement challenge because she got a statement (anti-war) she was unfamiliar with, while the other girls got statements they "were good at". It was unfair.

School activities theme pictures: the other girls got the good ones, the things they're good at! Jaslene only won because she got the easiest one. Renee lost because she got a hard one, the class clown.

I am surprised at least this episode she wasn't shown again crying about leaving her 7 month-old baby behind.

Go Jaslene and Brittany!

Ok, just finished watching (taped it last night)and here are my thoughts:

-Can't wait till the hair makeovers, hope they cut Natasha's 'mop'.

-During the 'runway' at the high school is when I noticed how thin Jaslene is. Way to skinny in my opinion.

-The dresses during the runway...so glad the 80's are over..most were hideous. The worst was the gold shiny dress Diana had on, made her look fat. I also hated the polka-dotted dress they had Natasha wear, it just didn't fit her right at all. I think just as bad as the dresses were, it didn't help that it didn't fit the model well.

-When they gave Renee "Class Clown" I actually found it kind of funny in a morbid way because she has been so sad all the time. I knew she wouldn't have been able to pull it off. The only person I think who could have pulled Class Clown off would have been Jael. I think Jael did great with her assignment of the class nerd.

-Just noticed Felicia, never noticed her before but when she did the class Jock she sure pulled it well. Her body is gorgeous!

-I also laughed (again a bit morbidly! lol)when Jaslene got the class Weirdo, lol, since I feel she is a bit of a weirdo I knew she would ace that shot. lol

-Dianne did super with the "Bad Girl".

-Renee crying again at the end that she doesn't get the good characters and if one person has to step out of their comfort zone, so should everyone. Well I don't agree, I don't think anyone was particularily 'comfortable' with their characters, including Jaslene. The rest just went with the flow (except Samantha, Natasha and Renee) for the most part. I really think Renee is suffering from depression. I kind of feel sorry for her!

In the clips for next week they showed a shot of Jael on the phone getting some 'bad news' and we caught a glimpes of her new hair, looks like Kookliebird will get her wish, her hair looked dark red! (I did enjoy her blonde though!)

Ok...end of my 2 cents!

Natasha: Let me see, the judges sent Kathleen home because she was a little slow and concepts went whoosh over head! But didn't Natasha have the same 'dear in headlights look and didn't get it either reaction?' yet she was not sent home

The judges needed to get their stories straight last night. One girl was called out for her pics being too sexy and hot for 'high school' pics and then one or two were praised for having hot sexy pics. Which is it?

Samantha from the South went home; the Southern beauty the quiet & shy one. How old is she is she the youngest?
She couldn't fit in; she said "I'm from the South the rest of girls are like boys!"

I do not know if all that was said in one sentence of it was edited to look that way.

She was from Alabama and they said she definitely had top model qualities but she was too immature and young still. Tyra told her not to give up but give it some more time.

IMO she was too modest and not quite flashy/flamboyant enough for this business. She had a more ladylike quality to her than most of the girls.

Chiliwilli: you are correct, she was very uncomfortable with both she tasks. Last week a partner in Same Sex Marriage and this week the "the girl most liked in school!"

Hey Mizi! I saw that in the previews too ! Boy was I surprised. I must be watching this show for too many "cycles" and am now channeling Tyra in my spare time. I just kept looking at Jael in the first episode and thinking - Red hair!

Right now, I am on the Jasleen bandwagon. I like her drive and photographs so far, she just needs to control the insecurity.

This show is always a study in contradictions, you have to be hot and sexy in the photos without actually being hot and sexy. From what I can tell, it's a matter of lifting your head a certain way, or tilt your shoulders to the left or something really inane like that. I absolutely LOVE the absurdity!

Oh and I forgot to mention about Renee's comment that was so eloquently quoted above in the board -

Sarah only won first challenge because she's a photographer so that's what "she's good at", and would know how to pose.

I do photography on the side and that is as far from the truth as it can be. Just because you know how to take photographs, it does not mean that you know how to pose. But, then again, it's not about the logic of the comments.... it's about the *itchyness among the girls. Again, you really gotta love it.

It's my guilty pleasure twice a week (yes, I always watch the reruns ... it's just too good not too).

OMG! Yes, yes, yes. I said just that to myself with a tear in my eye; I hope she can outlast this.

I missed last night's episode! Do they ever repeat Top Model episode again during the week or on another channel like they do with other shows?? If anyone knows, I'd appreciate you posting any other times. Thanks. :-)

I can't decide who I dislike more though; Jaslene or Natasha.

Chiliwilli - I think the issue with Samantha's pictures not being sexy enough was that she was supposed to be the school bike. Whereas Dionne was supposed to be just a little bit naughty as the bad girl.

I was so hoping Natasha would go (still laughing about Moose and Squirrel) and she really does need something done with that hair. I think that was her in the preview with Jael on the phone, she was sitting off to the side and had red hair.

Jaslene fan here!

Which is surprising because last year when she was trying out I was HOPING she would NOT make it. Last year she seemed too "over the top" personality. I like her more conservative personality this year....I just hope it lasts.

Another reason I didn't like her last year was because I thought she looked like a drag queen and unattractive. LOL the funny thing is that last night, in the weirdo photo, she looked masculine and I LOVED her in it. I was mesmerized by her look the moment she came out onto the set.

She looked so awesome and freaky! I actually was attracted to her in that photo. And I'm completely straight so that is a tough job! LOL

I just found it ironic that the thing I disliked about her last year (masculinity) was thing that made me like her this year. Who knew?

Same thing with the Dead eyes. Some pics are pointed out as 'no expression' and others are congratulated for their eyes....and I dont see a difference. LOL

For instance, Sarah as 'the class flirt' had no expression in her eyes and no comment was made. Then the next girl was reprimanded for it.

I am thinking that they have picked their favourites already. I noticed that other seasons as well. Its like that person can do no wrong.

I think whatever "expression in the eyes" there is, has a lot to do with good photography and lighting. There isn't a whole lot the model can do if there is bad lighting. I also think that a lot of it is in the mind of the viewer.

Jimmer, that's interesting. We caught an episode of Australia's Next Top Model the other day, and my husband (who's a photographer) was saying that the models looked so much better on the Australia show because the photography, lighting and sets were far more professional than on ANTM.

I was thinking the same thing.. Australia's Top Model show I think is much better. I thought all the photos looked great and they were given great direction. Looks like it comes on VH1 on Monday nights.
