Not to be disagreeable, but I think "just dragged out of bed" and almost no makeup are what the judges are looking for. Most models just look naturally cool when they are walking around New York city - just look at tabloid shots of Kate Moss - she invariably has some creative and trendsetting outfit on and no makeup. I agreed that Dionne's top was very Target - they are looking more for either designer clothes or thrift shop creations - something more modelly.

I can't imagine Tyra feeling threatened by anyone let alone a teenage model. It's not like she could take over anything Tyra does. I think their reasons were as Sunshyne said and they fact that they were not thrilled with her last two pics.

<<I can't imagine Tyra feeling threatened by anyone let alone a teenage model. It's not like she could take over anything Tyra does.>> I have actually heard a number of supermodels openly admit their insecurities watching the up and coming young girls. The modeling industry worships youth, and if they can get a younger looking Tyra, at some point that is what they may prefer. I agree that Tyra probably wouldn't literally lose jobs to this girl.... but she is going to devolve into a 'has been' as this girl possibly develops into a star. To be honest, I also suspect that Tyra has eliminated a couple of girls in past seasons who developed a crush on Nigel and Nigel thought they were hot. Call me crazy, but as soon as it was out in the open Tyra looked unhappy, and whaddaya know, they were cut.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, just thatI couldn't see Tyra being too worried, she has far more going on than just being a model. As for Nigel, he is married and he always seem to have favourites but I haven't seen what you are referring to Sharinia but I haven't seen every cycle either.

Has Top Model actually produced any Top Models?

I don't think it has produced any "supermodels", but there are a number of them who have been able to get work on some scale. I think Tyra had a show where she had a bunch of them on and they gave updates on their careers.

I loved Renee's line "It's like they want me to offend them." I did not buy her new act of atonement at all, just as Whitney did not. Then we see her bawling on the phone how she hates them all and being rude to the girls. She is so fake.

Renee knows what she is doing. She even said to Jay, in response to his question of why the girls don't like her, she said "I'm a *****". She was totally laughing when she said it. The problem is that Twiggy really likes Renee. If past shows are any indicator, it seems like the judge's favorites end up staying for quite awhile. I would love to see Janice Dickenson sometime during this cycle to see if any sparks fly when she is around Renee.

That would be fun, Kookliebird. Janice has just been banned from future L.A. Fashion Week shows. She apparently wreaked havoc at a recent one. Crazy as Janice is, I don't like Twiggy. I just find her really bland and boring. Maybe the switch from Janice to Twiggy was just too extreme. LOL I find it really hard to believe that Jay Manuel never seems to know what's going on inside the house. I'm talking about the death shoot and how it would affect Jael, and I remember one of the girls in a past show losing a relative, and then promptly having to do a cemetery shot where they had to lay in graves. And did you notice in the last show how Renee said to the camera that she wasn't going to say how well she did in the shoot, and then immediately Jay comes out and announce to the girls to watch out for her because she did so well? Hmm.

amen to that, mocha! many of these girls are getting on my nerves this season. mostly renee...wow, she sure seems to think she is way above everyone else. before they showed her personality, i thought she was the prettiest. not so much now. natasha also gets on my nerves, and jael...ack, a lot of them. i have liked whitney and diana from the beginning...rooting for whitney now, i guess.

I can tell you who went home tonight. It was Diana. They just felt that she didn't show enough passion for modeling.

Really! She seemed very mature. I am waiting tonight to see Renee be her snarky self with Whitney, but this surprises me. I thought she was doing well.

I liked her myself. For whatever reason she just didn't seem to work up a lot of enthusiasm and energy when talking to the judges or the people doing the shoots. Maybe it was lack of self confidence. I think she is very beautiful (not that that is essential for modeling).

I am still rooting for Brittany and Jaslene. If I were to go on looks alone, I'd say Renee should be a frontrunner. But her personality bugs me so much, her inner ugliness is shadowing her outer beauty.

I also liked Diana. Maybe her perceived lack of enthuiasm is, in reality, just maturity and dignity, which happens sometimes with large girls. Her portryal of a man was a disaster. I think that was a useless photo shoot anyway. What does pretending to be a man have to do with fashion modelling? Still, some of the others pulled it off, though, didn't they?

Mocha, you just liked Tyra's hair cause she had an aubergine ribbon in it. A few random thoughts: * In the world of ANTM, all men apparently have visible stubble. * Brittany's hair is becoming a rat's nest. * Natasha's quite the little sex kitten, no? Does she have a child? I couldn't tell if she was talking to a child or a dog on the phone. Seriously. Does she have a child? * Oh, darn you Diana and Whitney!!! You've gone and ruined Tyra's long-time dream to have two plus size girls -- a dream she's had for seasons and seasons! How could you DO that to poor poor Tyra?! Poor, poor, Tyra. You've shattered her dreams. I hope you can sleep at night.

Yeah - it sounded like a child's squawk (is that how you spell it?) on the other end of the phone when she was referring to herself as "mommy". So I'm guessing it was a kid. Or a bird.

I thought they'd get rid of Whitney before Diana. Diana had perfect proportions. Whitney has such a non-model shape. Tocarra had more in common with Diana's figure, minus the large bust. I am very disappointed that Diana is gone. jay sounded frustrated and very snarky IMHO when he asked Diana why she wanted to be a model. She is not a strong aggressive personality and I think she blanked out when faced with his comments / question. I have that kind of personality LOL As soon as she did that Blank stare and answered "just cause!" I knew she was a GONER! Jay's opinion must sway the judges. A few times his 'biased' comments are quoted by the judges as a reason to get rid of someone (even in seasons past) His snarkiness had our Canadian Top Model Judges in Tears during the Finale'. One lady even walked out during deliberations....for a breather. I am NOT looking forward to Jay hosting our Top Model. I have a bad feeling that Only very tall and thin girls will have a chance.

I think it was a baby. It would explain why Natasha is so desperate to do this show and make her mark on the world. married at 18 to some old guy, I'll bet she is watching her life FLY by at a thousand miles an hour. An opportunity like this is perfect for her. However, I dont think she really has it. You know, that IT factor. Acting would be a good choice, with some language lessons of course.
