I just wonder if maybe Fatima has already been pre-picked to win. She would probably be pretty good, too, I love the golden color of her skin and hair.

about previous models doing anything. I recall seeing cant remember her Name but the AMNT #2 winner did a show on style takig over for Elisabeth Hasslebeck, Mercedes on something, Ann was a tried out as a model for finale of Project runway, Ya Ya was in a movie about tough teens singing and dancing. that is all I remember seeing No real model top stuff. But agree non made "top" models but sure they got jobs they would not have normally gotten in somesort of print and runway

Okay, I guess I have to spoil myself because everyone is probably watching AI. I'll probably mess up some of the names, so bear with me. They are in NY - coming in groups of 3 & 4 to the restaurant meeting place. One of the Amy's changed their name to Amis because Tyra said they couldn't have 2 Amy's. The new loft is complete with huge runway, and really large pictures of Tyra and the prior winners. One bedroom, not many bunk beds and 1 giant bed. 5 minutes into the show and we've heard about Fatima's genital multilation 3 times already. No smoking house - Kimberly, Fatima and Amy went outside to smoke. Fatima has a bit of an attitude. Marvita even said that she would have to watch her. Tour of NYC, lots of screaming on the bus. Last stop, Times Square...guess what ! there's a runway show right there! OMG!!! Badgley Mischka !!! More screams.... Lauren never walked in heels before. Marvita really nervous. Commercial - no sign of Salisha yet.

We are back at the runway show - Everyone doing so-so. Kim said that she was wearing $500 shorts and $700 purse. She's doesn't really believe in spending that kind of money. (huh? - could this be the foreshadowing of the infamous 'Why are you here?' comment from Tyra. Gone to Elite - Paulina P will evaluate their potential. Just few comments that I caught: Amis - bad skin Dominiques - transvestie version of Robin Wright Penn - ouch Heidi - High School musical Marvita - dont' bite down on back teeth Someone had a smushed face. Off to 1st photo shoot. Taxi limo - "Fab Cab" In cab, Fatima "this 'ho' is tripping" to quote Marvita. Marvita seems really calm after what we saw in the first show. It's early, but I kind of like her. Tyra Mail - ANTM has gone electronic - no more envelopes. Salisha sighting - talking about her new hair do. Guess she didn't want to keep the Tootie.

Photo Shoot - Spotlight on homeless youth. Will model with a homeless youth. ANTM will be in street clothes, while the homeless wear Couture. Marvita - Fatima and Marvita patched things up. Having trouble following them, so I think I missed a few - Fatima feeling it. Jay liked. Dominique - Jay - "she's going for gold" Claire - showed the garment Whitney got a "good job". Amis - goofy, campy, not harnessing her power. Anya, one of the strongest girl of the day. Kim - no intensity, blank stare. Lauren - bring 'awkward Lauren to the picture" Marvita - drew on self experiences. Jay liked. Tyra mail - judging! Kim wants to model because it's pretty, not into high fashion. Commercial !

Panel time - Tyra, Nigel, Miss Jay (names on vest), Paulina (new beginnings - pretty in purple) Homelessness is close to Tyra's heart ever since she lived on the street during "the Tyra Show' last year. Aimee-doesn't look homeless, but looks incredible. Allison-not drawn to her. jay - no positives. Amis-inexperienced model staring into the light. Didn't focus, interesting face. Anya-Eyes lost, good bone structure. Girls should be nervous about her. Atayla-not telling much of a story. Everyone outshines her. Claire-striking, but a hand problem. Good film overall. Bravo. Dom-draglicious, incredible bone structure. Looks short, need more angles. Fatima-extremem works, stunning, heartbreaking (but film not good, one shot good) Kat-stunnng cheekbones. Lauren - nervous. love the shot, interesting. Marvita-Miss Jay problem at fashion show, photo - drawn to her. Stacy Ann-not enough versitility, doing the same shots over and over again. Whitney-great, passion, looks like wind machine that wasn't there. Kim - "do you want to be here?" Okay here we go, she told Tyra that she wasn't into fashion. Kim tells Tyra that she doesn't find wearing designer outfits interesting. Tyra: "do you want to go home?", Kim: "yeah", Tyra: "alright then, go home." Tyra says that she had one of the best photos of the group. Miss Jay rips up Kim's photo. (okay, I have to comment that this seemed a bit staged to me. Tyra was not as upset as the previews indicated.) However, Tyra tells the girls there will still be an elimination. The judges deliberate while we watch commercials.. what WILL they DO?!?

It seems during panel that they were overly focused on bone structure.

I can't stand Marvita either. I don't like her personality/atitude and I don't think her face is good for modeling at all.

Agree about Marvita. Fatima called her 'too ghetto' and Marvita proved it by trying to pick a fight with her. (or do I have the phrasing wrong? If so, oops, sorry) Glad Kimberly is gone anyway, I didn't like her little pinched up face. I'm not sure if Atalya should have been picked to go because she was 'too pretty and too commercial'. Huh? Seems to me Tyra needs to train these girls to be commercial, she sure hasn't gotten any high fashion models yet. However, overall I can see some pretty good candidates. I still like Lauren the best. I liked this photo shoot, with the homeless rags on the girls. Their make-up was good, too, not so outlandish that you can't see their faces as with some of the past shoots.

I like Allison, Claire, and Fatima (although she needs to learn some manners - a tragic past does not excuse her!). I am not fond of Stacey-Anne at all (she looks too commercial), nor do I much like Marvita for her attitude.

I'm definitely not on board the Marvita fan train. I think she looks too harsh, and not at all "high fashion" or even "commercial." I'm glad to see she's been working on her anger management issues, but that does not a top model make. Surprised to see Kim walk out, but by the second time they showed her talking about not liking the price of high fashion, I knew she was the one that was gonna be why Tyra had the comment in last week's preview. Too bad, too, because she did take a beautiful photo. Speaking of photos... they did an awesome job lighting those girls. Cause no way did all of 'em know exactly how to get the light to shine on 'em that way. That's something that you learn, not something that you just know. Cheekbones totally ruled this photo shoot.

The Kim thing still felt staged. So far, I do like Clair. She seems more together emotionally than the other girls. I just don't want to see her drink milk.

Again, I hated Tyra's reaction to Kimberly walking out..."then go..." jeesh!!! Why is she taking it so personally, as if it is an affront to her her and her show... she should have expressed understanding for such a decision and that she was honest enough to admit modeling was the wrong choice and "thank you for trying", but the way she just dismissed the girl shows me she isn't that warmhearted person I thought she was...(At least when young girls are concerned). I admired Kimberly for her courage to walk out and rather than stay and feel miserable and having her self esteem further eroded by a wrong choice she made. Thank goodness, there is a girl who thinks modeling isn't everything... I agree with the lighting issue someone mentioned, it's so important that it's captured right, but it's the photographer's job, the girl who has no experience with this can't help it... I was watching a miniseries "Caravaggio" the great painter of "chiaroscuro", a master of lighting when the only light was from a window and a candle... he would have been a great photographer of fashion or a lighting director in a movie... fantastic! (and others have said that). Anyway, New York doesn't seem so attractive to me so far (still prefer it to Los Angeles for fashion workshops and stylists, I like them to go to Europe this time (were they ever in Paris? or even Milan?). Enough of China or Japan... and they've been in Australia, where else could they go. Some of the girls have beautiful hair and just hope they don't chop them or ruin them as some in the past.

Spunky, you can bet they will select the girls with the most beautiful hair, chop it into shreds, and then add those acrylic-looking extensions. And I agree about enough Asian locations, the only places they missed are Vietnam and India! I really like the European locations, especially Paris and London. Not sure about Milan, but they were somewhere in Italy, that is where Shandy had her meltdown. And shouldn't Kimberly's photo be darkend out, since she is now gone?

Cat, Kim's photo was taken out, right after she walked out. Atalya's photo disappeared at the traditional moment, right at the end of the show.

I think Tyra was more aggrivated that Kimberly took a place from a girl who REALLY wanted to be there, when she didn't like the whole thing or really want to be there, but she just wanted to check it out. I hope they bring in a girl to replace Kimberly since they just started from one of the girls that wanted to be there but didn't get picked.
