Another surgery Sue? Yipes- I missed this- hope you are ok.I'm having an MRI on my back and my knee also....hope you are not in pain for something. I was disgusted that Sandra stayed. I was so sure Tyra was going to say her name I was truly shocked. And bummer about Celia- I was rooting for her as she was a dark horse at her decrepit age of 25 ;) and she truly is passionate about fashion. However, she blew it, especially given Tyra's personality. However, as much as it was wrong of her to tattle it would also be wrong of Tyra to hold it against her. But she will.

Second attempt to fix pain in shoulder... not looking forward to it. Hope your MRI comes up with something fixable without surgery! I'm surprised Sandra is still there. I don't think she's taken great pictures, and she's failed miserably in most of the challenges. And you KNOW Tyra will hold it against Celia. Tyra hates it when someone speaks out of turn. It's Tyra's show after all!

It is hard for me to come up with a favourite, but I am going with Alison. She has a very unusual face that would attract attention in a Vogue-level magazine. The others all look like everyone else who has ever been on the show.

I have given up on trying to watch this. I don't know if it is CW or my cable company or what, but the sound on ATM is so off to me, I cannot watch it with the sound on. Is there a place on-line to watch? Of course, it could be that it is the show itself.

It replays on Friday nights and I've not noticed a problem with the sound.

Does Celia remind anybody else of that actress named Martha Plimpton? She was one of the girls in "The Goonies" and in that Steve Martin movie "Parenthood".

Nerovh, yes I have. It's funny that you brought that up. I was watching this past week with my mother and told her the exact same thing! I think she looks a lot like Martha Plimpton. What I remember of her anyway. I haven't seen her in a long time. Does she still act?

Thanks Costacat. I did record it on my DVR from Friday night and have the same problem. I will call my cable company. It is odd that this is the only show it happens on. The volume fluctuates and the voices are lower than the music, so it is hard to hear. I think I will just mute it and see if I can figure stuff out without hearing them. lol

Martha Plimpton still acts and is a mentor for young at-risk youth at an acting school in NYC (the name escapes me). I saw her on the red carpet at a movie premier a few years ago in NYC and she was adorable and very friendly with the media, etc.

I think my 2 favorites are Aminat and Fo. Aminat reminds me so much of Danielle. I really have grown to love Allison's face, but like the judges say, she looks the same in every picture. There's no variation to her expressions. I don't really understand when they say Natalie is "a very beautiful girl". To me she is very plain and not pretty - IMO. I don't see a big "stand out" this year, so I think it's anyone's game.

When Tyra said no top model has only one expression I immediately thought of the first "super-model", Twiggy. She made a very good living with one expression. And that expression is very similar to Allison's.

Sandra and Celia were in the bottom 2. Celia had the best line when trying to figure out what to wear to panel. She put on a full skirt and said that if she had to go she wanted to out twirling! I loved that line. Tyra gave every indication that Celia was leaving because of the comments last week. But, thankfully, Sandra left.

During the whole episode, Sandra kept saying how she was the best model, gave the best 'face', took the best pictures, was just the best. Celia was resigned that she was going home due to her comments. She talked calmly with Tahlia. The rest of the house went nuts about it though. In the end, Celia's photo was so much better than Sandra's and some of the other girls. Tyra just wanted to make her point to Celia.

Yeah it would've been ridiculous to send Celia home as she was one of the best that week. Very forgettable girls this season - I've been watching since the beginning and still don't know most of their names... Nice seeing Howard Stern's wife...

I agree, Laura very forgettable. Not one of them stand out to me.

This week, Clay Aiken was a guest star. He was also a judge. Clay was great and right on with all of his comments. I guess he is a close friend of Tyra's. They had an acting challenge that London won, but Celia impressed Clay and Paulina. Clay can act too! The photo shoot was a Cover Girl commercial and we all know how bad those can be. Begrudingly, Tyra gave Celia the 'best of the worst ever Cover Girl commercial'. It's clear that Tyra is just waiting for Celia to do poorly one week and she will be gone. She's also started saying that Celia looks old. Paulina helped Clay with the challenge and she spoke up in Celia's favor about the challenge during panel. Bottom 2: Allison and Tahlia. Tahlia left. She was ready to go. It is very clear the Tyra heavily favors Teyona. Even when she is bad, Tyra says something good. She appears to be the 'chosen one' this year. Fo also looks like a shoo-in for the finale, Show Weirdness: Allison came to panel in an outfit (grey mod-looking minidress) that she had been to panel in before. Tyra chastised her for wearing the same thing twice, but wearing jeans and a tank top twice was okay. Tyra said that while the panel was deliberating, that Allison and Teyona should change clothes, which they did. Teyona got called 2nd and praised about wearing Allisons dress. Weird....

Just one more thing - When deliberating, Tyra said that "the camera loves Tahlia, but Tahlia does not love the camera". Then, when she was talking with Tahlia at the end, she said the same thing, but asking if Tahlia loves the camara or not, with the emphasis on each.. word..as..she..spoke..it. Pure Tyra weirdness.

Tyra is really starting to creep me out. And I don't see what she sees in Teyona (other than her fascination with the fact that her face looks like it's in a wind tunnel, as Tyra mentioned a dozen times in the past). Definitely time for Thalia to go. She really didn't want to be there.

I wonder if Tyra understands that there are shades of blonde other than "hooker yellow-white." I think the makeover really ruined London. She actually looks kind of heavy/round faced with that haircut.

I don't think so. She's only every gone blazing white blonde with any of her makeovers. Some of her makeovers this season really ruined the girls. Yeah, OK, so have a redhead so you can say you're not prejudiced. At least put the red on the one who looks like she can run with it.

When I was watching the recap show last night, I didn't even recognize London from the early episodes! I think her and Celia's makeovers are too similar. I did notice too that London is gaining weight. (Not that it's a bad thing - but noticeable). She's still probably 100 lbs lighter than me ;). I also can't understand the way they love teyona. She's forgettable IMO. I still like Allison. And doesn't Kate Moss only have one expression???

I agree about London's hair - I think she would look sooo much better with a darker shade! Even though Celia does well at the challenges I don't want her to win and I don't think she's even the prettiest. McKey looked nice last night but she still speaks funny.

Teyona seems the only face worth the prize... Celia looks ugly at times.. London has put on a bit of weight during the show.. I noticed she was lighter at the beginning. Aminat looks a lot like a previous black winner, was it Danielle... I mean, sometimes she even sounds like her...
