But, Isis did not have to keep sitting on the lounger. I think the sitting choice was hers. She could have stood and used the lounger more as a prop (i.e. standing behind it so the boys don't show). She's appearing kind of lost in the last 2 episodes to me. I suspect she'll be gone in about 2 episodes.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I kind of got the feeling that Isis is still trying to get comfortable in her own skin. She has a hard time getting everything together to look effortless sometimes (and I'm sure some of her shots last week were pretty bad). She has a beautiful face when she stops thinking, though, but unfortunatelly, this show isn't looking for face models. I truly love that they put a transgender on this show, but I truly hate that *I* think they did it for the publicity and not because they thought she had a lot of model potential. I am hoping to be proved wrong and that she makes it to the top 5 or 6 (whichever numbers heads off to foreign lands).

I agree with those saying Tyra is getting ...tiresome... the princess and the tiara were for 5 yr olds... She is better when she talks normally without that 'sugary' way of addressing the girls right before the judges...

The makeovers, some were good some were simply awful... now the girl who looked like Audrey Tatou (Marjorie) has lost all resemblance to the French actress, she has now mousy color hair which no longer create contrast with her eyes and so she lost that edge..

Elina red and curly... eek... what saves the girl is her oval face and smokey eyes...far from Angelina's beauty however...

Also Clark, no longer the All American type and resemblance to Chris Evert, she's not the dark hair type at all and she lost her edge as well...

Much improved is Samantha and Isis somewhat, although Isis seems to be struggling to fit in.

Brittany eliminated was a surprise because I thought there were others going before her, but it just a question of time for many of them. It's going to be tough to get rid of Elina, Lauren Brie and Samantha.

I always thought the makeovers were about Tyra anyways, and what look SHE wanted to have on the show. Not necessarily what look would be best for the girls. Or some of them. Cause every season there's a handful of girls who come out of the makeovers looking worse than they went in.

I didn't think McKey's hair looked that great in person but it looked great in the photo. I thought the red curls on Elina made her look very bohemian.

I watch the Australian, British and Canadian versions of this and none of the hosts have the eps revolve around them.

I agree, Jasper! Even Jay Manuel didn't have the show revolve around him when he did Canada season two...and it's Jay Manuel...!!

Tyra is getting too big for her britches. Soon, even her "post-supermodel" body won't be able to carry around her head.

I love Ms. Jay as a judge, he cracked me up with his ghetto posing!

ITA with everyone that the makeovers for the most part were just bad. I wonder if we will have a re-makeover of Clark since her hair is so hideous?

I thought the makeovers were really expensive, too, with all the long weaves. those unemployed models won't be able to afford themselves.

I felt when Isis first started she had the best feel for a walk and for posing- but the ther girls are rattling her.

I agree Tyra is getting so in to herself she is not warm and approachable any more. I love the Jays and Paulina though. And I do like the interaction of the panel sometimes when they laugh and get carried away.

One of my photographer friends goes to the salon in LA that did the makeovers this year and the colorist does her color!

FInally, I had to laugh- I said to my son Zach "I wonder what the will do for Isis' makeover?" and Zach quipped "The surgery!" LOL!

Finally caught this episode in rerun last night and... I totally agree with y'all about Tyra. That was a total waste of film (starting with the tiaras, going into her being told to lose 15 lbs, to the "poison apple" and all the sidebars during the makeovers. I was always on the fence about Tyra but she is starting to move into the dislike column.

Megs, LOL @ Zach! That is too TOO funny! (Smart kid, too!)

WRT the makeovers themselves, there were a few I liked. I really like Elina's when she lets it go wild. I really hate Hannah's (that square cut is so over). Hated Sheena's highlights and hated Clark's ultra dark 'do.

Some of them looked great in photos but not so great in RL.

And has anyone else noticed? Tyra always says "there's only one of _____". Yet she turned Analeigh into a Denise Richards clone and never once mentioned it. I guess you have to be rich and famous in a certain way to receive recognition from Tyra.

What I can't stand is how they have the girls jump up and down and screech like schoolgirls every time Tyra comes into the room. Come ON now. Tyra is on the show for petes sake, so of course you girls are going to meet her...several times in fact. But they act all twitterpated like they've just met the most fabulous celebrity they could ever dream of meeting every time she walks into the room. Its not that big of an honor to meet her!

I agree, Whoami. Sometimes I think there's a guy behind the cameramen with a big sign saying "APPLAUD!"

No wonder Tyra's head is getting so big. I saw something funny on The Soup (I LOVE that show!). Joel McHale was making fun of this season of The Tyra Banks Show - it's about getting "REAL". Apparently in the premiere, Tyra did a makeover/under swap with another woman. The woman got Tyra's magic team of stylists, makeup artists, weavers, etc. Tyra had her makeup removed. McHale noted that while getting "real", Tyra's weave stayed in the whole time!

2 went - they had one challenge where they went down a runway (the designer dressed the girls) blindfolded - the winner got a photoshoot and pick 2 friends)

the person who was elimanated wore a clock costume and did terrible... one girl had to wear a "curtain" ala Gone With The Wind parody with Carol Burnett... she was given huge kudos!!

Isis went after the photo shoot challenge, it was in a water and their faces were heavily made up and they looked gorgeous!!

Hannah went home from the runway - and Sam and Isis was the bottom two (I had to go searching for the names - I was flipping between this and dancing with stars!!)

Am I the only one who thinks Paulina's opinion isn't even relevant cuz of what she says? She's annoying to me and I expected more from her. It's like she's trying too hard for one-liners. Um Paula everyone can't be like me lol.

And did Sam just not know she was wearing a dress on the runway??

I couldn't figure out what was up with Samantha and pulling up that dress. But as far as Sam insulting the designer, that designer was pretty darn nasty in return. I think Samantha's insult came out of ignorance, while the designer's insults just seemed petty and nasty. I think he could have handled it in a much better way.

I liked Hannah in the beginning, but she was really working my nerves by the time she left. I'm glad she's gone.

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm glad Isis went tonight. I don't think she is secure enough yet for this kind of thing, and it was painful to watch and worry for her during the last episodes. I would like to have seen her wait until after she had had the surgery and become more confident in her new body to do the show.

Is it me or is Sheena just not really attractive? She's taken a couple of good pictures, but I just don't think she looks like a model.

Oh, and seeing that snippet on Chantal and what she's doing now made me even more certain that they chose the wrong girl when Saleisha won. I think Chantal looked just gorgeous.

Chantal does give great face but she couldn't walk a runway if her life depended on it. Ita bout Isis. She just wasn't giving good face but her walk was fierce.
