Catalog models are (generally) not top models. The top models in the world all do runway.

Costa is right, runway plus editorial. Not just "commercials". Even though selling stuff is essentially the function of them all, catalog, runway or editorial.

If the two Js were supposedly there to reach the girls, how come none of them ever took Allison aside and really give her lessons on "runway walks"? She's a fast learner, but she never had any help on the walks yet!

I guess it would be a Teyona win also.
She's very pretty and deserving I guess.

But never the less, Blah!

I just don't see what the judges see in Teyonna. I think she's the worst one left there.

When I turned it on at the very end Celia was walking away. I believe she was eliminated but no clue as to why.

lia won the challenge. Teyona's golden girl armour has been a bit cracked. Allison won best photo. It was Celia and Amit as the bottom 2. Untimately, Tyra liked shooting Celia, but I suspect it will be age resulted in her departure.

Why do they let in someone who can never win because of their age? Tyra never should have picked her at all if she was just going to shoot her down in the end because of age. I certainly thought Celia did better than Teyona and Animat tonight.

I also thought Celia and Allison both had stronger pictures than Teyona and Aminat tonight. I thought Aminat's picture was pretty bad, even though I like her personality and I think, in person, she's really cute, her pictures are terrible. The lighting just can't handle her face of something. Thought Teyona's picture looked hesitant, hard to describe, just so-so. Really sad to see Celia go, but they kept pointing out the whole season how she was too "old", I agree with those of you who ask, then why did they pick her in the first place?(I loved all her pictures)


Since they don't seem to be helping Allison with her very bad runway walk, I have a feeling it's going to be a Teyona, Aminat final, which is a shame, they are both pretty weak and not memorable.

It's too bad that this season Tyra has shoved her favorites down our throats. Seems to me that other seasons she didn't constantly protect her faves, and it was a lot more subtle when they got to the end. This season? It was pretty apparent from the beginning that she favored Aminat and Teyona, and if those two are NOT in the finale I'll personally apologize to Tyra. (Not too worried I'll have to, though!)

I've been saying it all along... if there are girls that you will never pick because they are too short, too old, too something, then why the hell do you let them into the top 12 or whatever? Why put them in and leave out someone who is NOT too short or too old or too whatever.

This show is such an absolute joke anyways, I'm surprised it's still around. These girls are never going to be "top" models. They may make some $$ in the industry, but top? Not a chance, not ever.

Really, how did Teyona not end up in the bottom 2? I mean, if they were truly judging by picture and not by who their pet is. Her picture was much worse than Celia's. I would prefer Aminat and Allison in the final 2. I was a little happy when in the preview during their covergirl commercial it shows Teyona crying. But how much you want to bet the judges say how amazing and wonderful she did?

I thought that Teyona's pic was beautiful.

Aminat doesn't photograph as well, but she is way more modelly looking in person than the other two. Not crazy about her personality, but I think she has the most beautiful skin I've ever seen....

I think that Allison has a real shot at winning. Tyra seems to love her weirdness, and her last photo was phenomenal.

Really, any of these girls can win, I think. jmo

Love, love loved Allison's photo last night! As they said, she looked like a little, bitty birdie. And it was the only photo that made that nest really look like a nest. Tyra actually is a pretty good photographer. She got more out of those girls than the pros have this season.

I was surprised to see Celia go but I don't even have a favorite anyway.
Aminat really does have beautiful skin too as well as a rockin' bod. Funny thing about Teyona's pic (which I think she looks great in everytime - just not in person) is that it didn't even look like what they showed us that Tyra was shooting. I think Tyra did pretty well with the girls too.
Still drives me nuts when she does her whole: give me this "uh uh uh" modeling lesson..lol

The thing with Allison is that she does make some odd faces in person that I wish they would tell her to work on! I like her pics but sometimes it looks like she is smelling something stinky when they talk to her.

LOL. *Paulina* was fired for having a huge ego? I can think of three others on that judges' panel who have way bigger ones!

No, I thought she was a lousy judge (especially when she was "mentoring" the models in Brazil). And I thought she was snarky when she didn't need to be (on panel).

Of all of the supermodels that have walked the face of the Earth, Paulina is the most laid back, normal, unaffected one of all. Seriously. Is there any room at all for a big head with Miss J and Tyra sucking all the oxygen out of the room? Hello, Pot? Kettle speaking!

If Paulina had an ego, I didn't see it. She did seem, tho, to dare to express opinions that differed from Tyra's. Like Teyona is a one dimensional model because she's only good in print, and is that what ANTM is about.

I thought that Tyra clearly looked disappointed that Allison outshined Teyona on the runway and in the commercial. It was pretty apparent last nite that Tyra was bent on discovering Teyona's 'windblown face,' and that was that.

I think that Teyona and Aminat are far prettier than Allison, btw. I was rooting for them to do better bc they looked just stunning last nite, but as Tyra is fond of saying, modeling isn't just about looking pretty.

Disappointing all around....

I thought Allison did amazingly last night. She even had a good walk and didn't look like a deer caught in the headlights in her photos. She looked just lovely in the commercial and the print ad. I'm glad she went out on a high note and hope she does well.

This season they didn't seem to give the girls many "lessons" besides Tyra's dumb comments at panel.
Teyona does not look like a model from the front when she laughs but she does look very nice from certain angels, if only she walked aroudn with her face turned 3/4....lol I am bad.
Now that they showed us again, I loved both her and Allison's pic with the colored powder on their faces. Both very striking.

What was up with the last part of the runway show? very different for sure.

Frankly, Teyona should have been out when she blew the commercial so badly. I think anybody else would have been sent packing if they weren't Tyra's favorite. Once they cut Aminat instead of Teyona after the commercial, I knew Teyona was going to win unless she flat out fell face-down on the runway.

I liked Paulina. It did seem like she was struggling at times to find good things to say about Tyra's favorites, though. I don't think Paulina's ego was the real problem, it was probably that Paulina had opinions that clashes with Tyra's big ego.

Eesh. I missed this last night and glad I did. Not surprised Teyona won (she was obviously Tyra's fave from day 1) but eesh. Not to worry, she'll never be a true top model. :-)

I think in the long run, Allison will be the best super model. Teyona will do her cover and have her one year contract with Cover Girl, then she will fade away.
