i was so sad to see Heather go tonight. I've been rooting for her all along. I loved her picture best tonight. I thought Heather & Lisa should have been the final 2 and now they are both gone. Of the ones left I guess I'd have to root for Chantal by default but the judges are always saying she is missing something so I'm sure she'll be out soon. I SO wanted Bianca to go.

what a setup!! No one else noticed the other girls all got a chatty friendly woman interpreter who was actively helping them??.. Heather's male interpreter was reading a book or something and barely spoke to her. Being nonaggressive/ nonassertive Heather see was shown just looking out of the window and left the Cab not having a CLUE where to go and what to do. The most obvious setup was the way the Cab took off and she couldnt find it again. I would guess that they would have been watching her walk back n forth for that extra HOUR. It also surprised me that the other girls were allowed to basically heckle Heather as she was trying to model. I thought that they were milking the 'disability' part of Heather's personality, she just didnt seem able to stand up for herself. i think it is ridiculous that she screws up the go-sees and it is a terrible thing....while Bianca refuses a comp and its A okay. anyways, glad to see the bullying over. I truly dont care who wins. Since Saliesha is doing an "eva" impersonation at this point, I think she will win. all that fake giggling wiggling and Arm/ hand movements really irritate the heck out of me. I still do not see a real model. Her face gets airbrushed to a point where that final pic barely looks like her. But she does have the body! I concede that point LOL

Sun, I did notice that about the interpreter. Why Tyra likes Bianca is a mystery to me. Saleshia is less of a mystery since she went to one of Tyra's "Girl Power" camps. I remember at the beginning Tyra said that she would be "especially hard" on Saleshia because of that. Uh-huh. Right. Believe me, I would NEVER buy a product with Bianca's face on it!

Bianca looks a little old, like a face I've seen before. Her personality isn't great either. It bothered me how catty and how much she picked at Heather.

I couldnt care less who wins now.Ive said all along that Jenah was my least favorite but with whats left, I think I like her now-well,as long as she doesnt smile. She has a high fashion look to her.

I actually feel really bad for Bianca and the others. It's so sad now that Heather is gone what are they going to talk about?? I hope they have good coping skills and maybe then and only then will they make it through the harsh days. jk ;) I think they will either a) someone else will become the punching bag or b) there will be alot of drama and fights to come or who knows maybe they will all just get along (but I doubt it)

From the previews it looks like Bianca has set her sights on Jenah. I also think that Heather was given a bad time last night. The interpreter sucked, the cab issue and the girls heckling her. To me they allowed a wonderful, beautiful upcoming model to be beaten down into nothing. I know that she should expect some harsh comments in the modeling world, but I daresay she would not be living with them 24/7 as she has had to do in this show. Very poorly done Tyra. I don't have anyone I want to root for now. This is the first time on this show I can say that. However I guess I say anyone who can beat Bianca is my favorite.

some kind of 'tell all' expose' was advertised. Wish I could remember which channel! It had interviews with a bunch of ex Top Models who were telling what it 'was really like' during the show. I think it is on saturday. I'll have to check my tv week.

Wow! It's so nice to come on here and find so many other people with the same thoughts and feelings about Heather. I really think the judges screwed up here. I hope Heather makes it big anyway. GO HEATHER!!

I think Heather will go very far with print work. To me she doesn't do good runway. And why in dahell do they make them do go-sees in a foreign country?? I think that alone sets them up for failure.

Oh did anyone else notice that when Tyra was talking to the final 2 She began with Heather and as she talked the camera switched to Heather and then you could tell that the actual speech Tyra gave was cut out and a new sentence was edited in. When it switched to Jenah the speech was unedited. I wonder what she really said to her.

First time I have teared up when a model was eliminated. But, I agree with Mocha. I think we will see Heather in print work sooner than later. And considering how well the winners of ANTM have done (cough,cough), it's probably a blessing that Heather didn't win. She will go a lot farther in her career now.

Terolyn, I noticed that too. It seemed to me that Heather knew she was going. I'm not sure if I will watch the remaining episodes because I do not care for any of the remaining girls.

Weeks ago I was saying exactly what happened last night... Heather unable to find her way to the fashion designers, that was the thing I expected to happen but still hoped that somehow she would make it (with the producers help, I mean you have a cameraman filming her while she's searching, don't you think it could be done?? The 'extra help'??, who would know but the producers?). So, it was definitely not the producers' intent to help her out, maybe they wanted a final proof that Heather was not meant for the job even with the more interesting face in the bunch. There was something weird though seeing the 'complacency' shown by Heather, I expected some kind of panicky reaction, but she didn't seem so affected by how poorly she was doing in the challenge. The only time she had a worried look was at elimination time but her 'happy pose' goodbye proved again she was not affected by the elimination as Lisa and Sarah were. With her gone there isn't anyone left that has an 'interesting face' (although that alone was not enough for Heather, her catwalk and posture needed a lot of work). But there are others there that are worse than Heather, Jenah's toothy look and awful hair and Bianca's ordinary look and Salesha's static look (the male Chinese designer said it too... "dull") and Chantal's California beach girl look is so dated, how can you pick a Top Model among these four? Tyra and company flunked with this season. And I'm tired of that 'girlish' talk, why is Tyra doing it?? sometimes it feels like she lost her 'marbles'... making look Twiggy the only sane person there... So, they're off to Beijing and the Great Wall, the blondes should stand out... but Salesha will look more and more Chinese..

I wonder if Tyra will take Heather under her wing after the show is over? I could see her or Nigel working with her but not being allowed to say that. I have seen that on reality shows where people get booted. Like the time Gorden Ramsay said he would send that girl to culinary school. Bianca's look is odd to me. The slope to the back of her head/neck. Like Heather needed posture lessons, Bianca needs to carry her head differently.

One thing that I found odd about the go sees was the fact that none of the women enlisted anyone's aid to help them find the location. One of the frequent complaints about the Amazing Race is how the racers will sometimes ask a local person to literally lead them to their destination. It's hard to understand why these women didn't do that. I was sorry to see Heather leave. All the same, ignoring her disability (which I think people should do as part of any hiring process), her performance the last two weeks was rather dismal. She did have great pictures though so I guess it depends on how much weight they want to put on each requirement. For example, I was disappointed that they put so little emphasis on Bianca's refusal to complete the challenge last week. It seems rather inconsistent but then this show is anything but consistent. Another comment I've wanted to make is that they do far too much coaching in the final shoot. Yes the show should be a learning experience but the coaching should occur before the shoot. People pay these supposed top models a lot of money, precisely because they already know what to do without being told. If I get someone off the street to model for me for free or for her portfolio, then I would expect to have to coach her. I would not expect to have to tell a top model how to pose (at least not in painfully specific terms). So to truly see how the models are doing, what they are learning and how they will perform in the real world, they should leave more of the posing up to them.

Heather was on Good Morning America today. She did a remote from LA and talked with Diane Sawyer about her form of autism and her experience on the show. She did good with her eye contact and handled her end of the interview well. It was never mentioned who initiated the interview or if Tyra had any part of it. I think GMA did it on their own. I hope the exposure helps her in her career. In the real world, would it be so far-fetched for some models to have handlers to get them where they need to go and keep them on schedule? I would think that Heather could do well if she had an assistant to help her with the time management and travel requirements. Ms. Jay does indeed need to work with her on her runway walk though. I am always amazed at how different the models look on camera all dolled up waiting for their shoots, but then they look so different and beautiful when you see their print pictures.

Okay another subject: did Bianca wear those khaki shorts again? I think she borrowed them from one of the other models. Then, she wore them 2 weeks in a row to panel because she got a compliment the first week. Does anyone remember?

I thought that Heather and Lisa were the most interesting of the F6, so am bummed to see them go. I agree with Jimmer that the judging seems very inconsistent. I try to remind myself that they are the pros and know what is most important, but it always seems to me like they jump at the chance to get rid of the best looking and most likeable girls, and make excuses to keep the least exciting ones.

I think Stacey needs to help us figure this out LOL I'm thinking that Heather was so "focused' on her task of trying to find that first Go-See, that she just plain lost track of time. Also, why not give up and move on to the second Go-See on the list? I think it is because of the deep focus/ concentration. She wouldnt think of moving on until the First task was done. just a theory

OR, why not start with the go-see that was two different designers in the same building? Of course Heather can't read the Chinese to know that, but the interpreter did. Just another example of how the interpreter did not help. Saleshia is the only one who seemed to realize that, and I am sure that she did not figure that out on her own!

LOL see that is what you all would do because you don't have anything blocking your mind from thinking like that. I am sure now that she has been told she is like OHHHHHHHHH!!!! One of the bigger issues with Asperger's is what we call perseverating. The ability to not let something go or move on. Someone took her to a place and told her this was the first place you must go. That is all she hears or focuses on, she can't move on or make that decision to move on. Definitely this is a challenge where her disability caught up with her.
