I saw a commercial where a young model introduced herself by saying she was still breastfeeding - and then drinking the breast milk... ok then...

and TV guide channel reran the Janice's season on Surreal life - not pretty... and then we see a bit of Janice giving Britney Spears advice... ok then...

Its looking like too many "cycles" of Next top model, and not enough talent... or something...

Well, if they are only looking for "ethnic backgrounds," I'd guess the pool of potentials would be considerably smaller, yes? (And if that's true, that just irritates the heck out of me. Forget about whether or not you're a top model material, only apply if you're not white? Sheesh! Reverse something going on here...)

Wasn't Tyra's stated goal from the beginning to introduce more models of different ethnic backgrounds? Nothing wrong with that, but why have any white girls on at all? Seems hypocritical, to me.
Regardless, she still hasn't produced any real top models. I subscribe to Vogue, and read it thoroughly, and not one of Tyra's winnners (or even runners-up) has ever appeared in ads or editorial, and to me, Vogue is THE top model venue.
Does anyone on this group know of her models appearing in other magazines? Or TV ads? Does Tyra not know how to pick what the industry needs?

Marvita auditioned I think last cycle and did not make the final cut. I just rewatched cycle 9 this weekend and I am almost positive it is her. She was like Jaslene, got to the last cut and did not make it and then made it this round. she was the one that had a really tough background and really thought she was going to make it. Will be interesting to watch the first show to see if it is brought up.

They all look the same.

I read an article (sorry can't remember where) last weekend that stated that Tyra "cast" this season with more drama personalities then in the "looks" department.

It is/has gone the way of the rest. Talent does not matter... just the drama you can bring.

Tyra's show today had her hooked up to a lie detector test (it was about the "game show" same premise, hook up to a lie detector ask embarassing questions, and if you tell the truth, you get to move up the money scale..)

so one question for Tyra - do you think you are prettier than the women here in your audience (not word for word, from my memory btw) and she said "no" and of course explains and the lie detector said that she was telling the truth..

then they asked her if she thought all the winners deserved to win from ANTM (again something like that) and she said, well I get outvoted in the beginning on who to keep and I dont see all that "drama in the house until edit" and I think wow... etc but when it comes to voting for the winner, I've agreed... so true.. and the lie detector determined that was a lie... roflol... she started to explain, then basically "whatever" lol...

Kimberly looks just like Colby from All My Children.I think Claire is the most intersting looking.

Several look interesting, but just for a start, I think Lauren looks the most high fashion.
Poor Fatima, I hope they fatten her up a little bit.

Amy looks and acts like Lisa from a few seasons ago. Annoying...

Atalya's uncle is Muhammed Ali, so that was probably a lock in making the finals. I could see her having a bit of an edge because of it.

Dominique is very pretty and has a great look. But, they were already criticizing her talking. Same with Anya.

Fatima was really grown up in her demeanor which was refreshing to me. Why is it when they get a group of girls in a room they have to talk (yell)at the top of their voices at each other?

Kat (poland) is from Cornell University.

The girl who had tried out 8 times was just agressive (Shalynda). Good thing she didn't make the show.

Lauren does look like she could model Lauren.

Stacy's voice could really grate over the season. Kim's voice could also grate over time.

Jenna with the Impala was hilarious.

Claire is drinking her breast milk (what!). Who's got milk?

Their pictures look so nice and calm. Then, we get to meet them and whoa!

In the final photo shoot, Fatima seems like she might be a handful. Jay had an interesting look on his face when she was trying to do too much with the stole.

Like that Lauren did the black eye makeup. It's the only picture that I would like to see. She'll be fun to watch. I hope she improves each week and isn't a dud.

It looks like someone ticks Tyra off next week. During panel, she is firmly saying "Why did you come here, WHY DID YOU COME HERE?"

So, what happened to make mild-mannered Tyra turn?????

Kookliebird-when I was watching I was thinking the same thing about Amy. Lisa from cycle 5. Same look, same kookiness. Lauren looks way different in her picture then she did on TV.

I have a feeling Lauren is going to 'clean up real nice', as they say about a used car. LOL
She is really rough and walks very awkwardly, but her photo looks great, she has that square jaw and skinny neck like so many high fashion models have.
Can't stand Marvita, she has nothing going for her. Bad attitude, bad teeth, butch hair-do. Already ready to kill someone. Ugh.
I like Dominique's looks, is she Hispanic or native American?

I liked Whitney especially when she used the stole to make it seem like she was naked in the picture. Mr. Jay liked it to. I was sad to see that Jennifer (self proclaimed plus size) didn't make it. I thought she was pretty and had confidence. She knew she had stretch marks on her tummy and was like "deal with it."

Kim DOES look like Colby from AMC! All through the show I kept trying to place who she reminded me of, and this morning it just popped into my head. And the first thing I thought about Amy was that she was like a prettier version of Lisa. I hope she is more likable, because I couldn't stand Lisa. I'm not a big fan of Marvita. Hoping Anya goes quick, I think her talking may bother me even more than Jaslene!

Interesting group of girls this time, some have real potential already (even without the hair-do or total change of looks), I just hope this time they don't get ruined instead of improved.

I was expecting a change in Jay's looks but he's stuck with that one...

Someone was asking if any of the girls in previous seasons had any special offers for modeling, well, not long ago ET was parading some models showing potential nightgowns for the Oscars and Chantal was one of the models, she looked gorgeous and professional, so I wondered if anyone else noticed that clip.

The commercial with the last winner Saleisha seems to explain that they are quite busy for the first year, and Tyra still helps out with guest appearances featuring the girls and we saw how last night some of them were the cheerleaders and the previous 2 summaries had the majority of the girls appearing and they seemed quite content with their lot.

I liked seeing the 4 girls from the prior seasons as cheerleaders. Although, none of them looked very 'modely' (if that's a word). They looked just normal.

Spunky, Funny you should mention about Jay's looks. I was thinking exactly the same thing last night. His hair is always perfectly (can you say toooo perfect) done whenever you see him. I wonder what it would look like all mussed up or first thing in the morning. His clothing style is very predictable.

I wasn't too excited about see Saleisha in the commercials. To be honest, I preferred Jaslene's commercials. She seemed more excited about everything, you could really hear it in her voice. With Saleisha, it felt like she was just reading lines. I didn't feel much emotion coming from her.

Ay yi yi...can't believe Marvita is back! I thought of Reese Witherspoon when I saw Kimberly, but I do see the resemblance to Colby. I like Allison, Fatima, Kat, and Claire.

Sorry to see Jennifer go too. I thought she was very pretty. I don't know why they eliminated her after they agreed she looked different in each of the pics. Isn't that a good thing?

I think one of the cheerleaders was Jael.
