How can you not think a size 10 is normal, Costacat? 9/10 is a very healthy size for many women to be. 11/12's are probably a little overweight, but when I was a 9/10 I was right there in the healthy weight bracket for my height. I think it is damaging to say something like size 10 is not normal. It perpetuates so many stereotypes on so many levels and sends such a bad message.

Wasn't Yaya the one who did the window posing like a dancer? That season? I think they did knock her for her dance...

Costa I can't recall, but I know I was very turned off by her superior attitude that she did seem to have because she felt she was more educated than the others, which she was. But what appeared to be arrogance that came from her did not endear me to her personality, it made her come across as stiff & cold, but she was very pretty to me. The judges thought so as well. Also, while in Japan or somewhere, I can't recall, she spit out the plum or whatever delicacy that was for that culture, during a commerial shoot or something similar & that did not endear her to the panel, nor the Asian crew & judges because it was an insult to their culture. She would barely chew it & refused to swallow it & she spit it out, while the other girls endured it & ate it for the professionalism of the job & respect of culture. I remember that being a huge knock against her, but she did make final 2.

I think it was both her attitude and dancing. If I recall correctly, her posing, at times, had the dancer showing through when it wasn't warranted. But, then again, we only see what Tyra wants us to see. (I do remember the food incident as well)

Oh yeah, I forgot about the plum. It was during a panel, when they do the occasional "test". They had a table set up and she was supposed to eat that plum and she didn't. I remember being horrified, too, as that is one thing you just don't do in ANY foreign country. Hold your breath and swallow!

Fatima missed the photo shoot in order to get her passport. Stacie Ann went home tonight.

Since when did Tyra get a mole on the front right side of her face? I've never noticed that before, nor it being so large. Or is it a pimple that they're mimicking as a mole to hide the pimple? Maybe that's why they didn't show any close-ups of Tyra during panel? I just thought it odd because I've never noticed it before.

I really thought Fatima should've gone home. Not only did she NOT tell ANTM about the fact she didn't have papers, she totally missed the shoot. Then again, I've not been a fan of hers (and she really needs to be wearing makeup in her confessionals). Stacie Ann, however, really did blow it at the party. I loved Anya this week. And for once her voice didn't drive me nuts. She looked beautiful at the party and during the 7/UP shoot.

I'd really like to know what accent that is of Anya's. I know they're trying to attribute that to a Hawaiian accent, but I know plenty of people from Hawaii & they do not speak nor sound like that. Anya's way of speaking sounds more like surfer talk, but I'd really like to know where her accent originates from. I agree, Anya looked gorgeous at the party. I like Katrzyna's (sp) new look also.

This show has a knack of picking contestants with odd voices. Anya sounds more like a person that is deaf. So did Jaslyn. Kat looks way better now and besides Anya Kat is the only other one I like this go around. Rome will be a blast for the girls. Did Fatima get her papers??? I missed that part if she did.

Yes Lilfair, she got them. I knew they weren't going to send Fatima home, because she had just come to judging directly after getting her papers. I knew they weren't going to show her getting her papers and then send her home before using them after all they put it the show to editting it to show that.

I agree, Fatima should have gone home, not only because of missing the photo shoot, but she should have been more responsible for her own immigration papers, work permit, or whatever. That really shows a lack of self-responsibility. And she is definitely not one of the most attractive girls left. Her meat photo was dreadful. Why are they keeping her? Are they seeing something I am not? She is definitly no Iman.

Just watched this show. And the one thing sticking out in my mind is... I have a love hate realationship with Anya. I think she is very sweet and genuine but I can't stand the way she talks. Same with Jaslene, I couldn't stand the way she talked and I was surprised she won the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, I liked Jaslene as a person but I just didn't find her modeling that great and the way she spoke was so choppy.

I don't get the Anya love at all....course I'm not in the modeling biz so... I do like Whitney but shes almost too sure of herself...and I see where they think shes pageanty Fatima can be very striking...and then not. While I would have liked to see her booted (not my fav), shes better than StaceyAnn...so I get that part My fav is Lauren, she did great at the party and looked beautiful..but is she going to last with that walk?? I just can't see it. boo hoo I think Dominique is getting better week to week

For me, Fatima is too skinny. You know someone is skinny when designers comment on it at go-sees. I enjoy Whitney, but she loves drama too much. She however has been my favorite plus-size model of all seasons. (At least one I could see getting work.) I like Lauren. She is almost anti-model. Her pictures are stunning! It really was light and day between how she was at the party last week and at panel. I hate hate hate Anya's accent. To me, it is worse than Jaslene. Should be interesting to see how the commercial shoot goes this week. Dominique looks old! Reminds me of a past model, but can't place who.

Renee looked old to me in her season, so in the case of being young women that look older than they are, Renee and Dominique remind me of each other in that way. In terms of personality, I kind of think Dominique and Jade have some similarities.

I think that Dominique and Jade both look much older than Renee. I could never understand why they said she looked old. I often wonder if it is a 'black mark' in the judges book to have a kid.

Well, remember that they are getting a cover or something in Seventeen magazine, yes? So someone who looks "old" (as Renee and Dominique have) would have a problem selling the mag.

Last week, I paused on the closing shot of all the models together when they remove the one kicked off and noticed that the proportion of some of the girls is bigger than the others. The heads of the ones on the back row are more upclose and larger than the others and I wonder if that has anything to do with the finalists. When you watch tomorrow night, look at that and see if you think that Lauren, Whitney, and the russian lady look more prominent in the photo than the others.
