Know just what you mean Spunky. I think the same thing every time I see her. And yes it was Danielle. She won her season.

Again, Celia and Fo both exceled but the judges have pretty much decided that Teyona is the 'chosen one'. Aminat and London were in the bottom 2. London went home and did not seem too upset about it.

Thanks, it doesn't surprise me that London went home. In the first half of show that I got to see there was a lot of talk about her weight from the other girls and London, herself, didn't seem to be too comfortable with her body and the way things had been going lately. I don't know if that was the issue with her or not. I want to watch the rest of the episode tomorrow night since I didn't get to see it all.

Well, I have to say I'm rather pleased that Natalie went home this week. Her spoiled attitude is plain ugly! I wish Aminat would step it up with her pictures, I really like her and think she has an awesome look. Allison is pulling ahead as my favorite. Her pictures was leaps above the rest. Teyona again was praised up and down when her picture was really just so-so.

Natalie is very bad for Southern California! She is so arrogant about living here and actually said last night something like it is sunny everyday in Southern California. Uh Natalie, as much as I would love that, not true! She made it seem like we can wear bathing suits or shorts everyday.

Natalie was the right choice to leave. Her attitude is ugly. I thought that maybe she'd make it further but the reality show gods heard my pleas to get her off my TV ;). Teyona takes interesting picture, for my eye. I'm warming up and getting use to Allison's look. I was put off by her eyes and mouth at first but am use to them now. Although I think she'll always have just one look. I have no favorites this season.

It was just a matter of time for Natalie to go, in the end Teyona may be the one they'll choose. Really, there isn't much choice there. Aminat comes in close and I don't agree with the judges that she doesn't deliver in photoshoots, her photos are as beautiful as Teyona's, maybe it's because they want her to show more flair during the photoshoots.

I think Teyona looks great in her pics and blah in person. I am glad Natalie left. I am also glad Celia was knocked down a peg, I think she was getting too conceited.

Sorry Kellsma, but I don't think you caught Natalie's point. Natalie said that she's used to the warm weather here in Southern California. I took it to mean that she's tired of the cold weather in NY. And honestly, I do not blame her for one second. I would NOT want to be in NY for any length of time when it's cold. (And while *I* won't wear shorts every day, there are quite a few people I know who do.) I really hope Teyona doesn't win. I don't think her pix are all that, and her attitude is really making me dislike her. Both Teyona and Aminat. I'd like to see the finale with Fo and Alison, since they are both so different.

Maybe I did misinterpret it a bit but I just took it to mean that we have sunny weather here every day. Of course, cold is a relative term because I freak out when it gets below 60 but I definitely would not wear shorts everyday but you are right, there are plenty of people that do. I also agree with you re: NY. Very happy to be spending the winters here.

VERY happy to be spending winters HERE!!! (Me? I'd freeze in one position and wait for the spring thaw!) I'm really not enjoying this season. I dunno if it's Tyra's antics or the models or what. Tyra pulling out the "she looks old" card on Celia... this is the first time she's said it that we've heard. I think she pulls that card when she has nothing else bad to say about someone. I was kinda sorry to see Natalie go, as I thought she was very pretty. I didn't really see her as being arrogant, just that she's been told she's beautiful all her life and that's all she's ever "lived" on.

There was an interview with London in our local paper.They told her to lose weight but the show did not provide her with a means to excersise.The models were not allowed to leave the premises. She also said that often times at the judges panel that Tyra and producres would pick the worst picture of the day of London and that there were many better ones.She did not say it,but it was implied that Tyra has an agenda and has the winner already determined.

When it's rainy and 45 degrees for 5 months in a row, 60 degrees and sunny is the dream!

Costa, Last week Tyra said it as well. I had been waiting for it since she's older than the rest. I think that when Celia didn't fold (but got stronger) after her speaking out of turn that Tyra had to find another reason to set up to get rid of her. Right now, it's probably a Teyona / Fo final 2. It's just too clear, as London insinuated, that there is an agenda and the name begins with a T.

London was on the Tyra show yesterday, she said she gained 20 lbs! she also said she has an eating disorder, that she's bulimic and admitted to Tyra that she has relapsed since being home, and wanted to get help but her family couldn't afford it, so Tyra told her she's going to get her into rehab in her home town and pay for the whole thing! London was so appreciative and she was crying! I don't always like tyra, but this was very nice

Lakecat, I've thought that about the pix. Seems we've seen some good shots as Jay's directing, but those are not the shots that Tyra displays during elimination. And I figured she wasn't allowed to exercise, which wouldn't help any. I still think London is gorgeous, so heck with Tyra. Kooklie, I think Tyra said that about London last week. NOT about Celia? Kids, I think that's awesome of Tyra to do. But honestly, I blame Tyra for London's relapse. Not allowing her any way to exercise while she was on the show, especially with an obvious weight gain, I can only imagine what that did to London's emotional well-being. I place the blame squarely on Tyra's shoulders and she SHOULD pay for treatment for London! (I also don't think there is anything else Tyra could've done, because she would've been faulted to kingdom come if she didn't help London out. So I dunno if "nice" is the word I'd use. "Calculating" maybe! )

Costa, I agree with you about Tyra, she even said to london that she "thought" she looked heavier, then why didn't she ask her? Tyra only thinks she's a mentor for these girls!

I'm really surprised that they don't have a weight room in those plush apartments they set up for them. That weight did not happen overnight, and something should have been said to her before things got outta hand. But London also knew herself that she was gaining weight, but never was mentioned what she was doing to try to correct it. If it wasn't brought up, how was anyone to know that she had an eating disorder? Won't let them exercise? Could they not leave to take a walk or a jog? You do not need a building full of gym equipment to get your exercise in. It sure looked like they had a lot of down time, because there were plenty of times where all of them were just lounging away eating. ETA: As for Tyra being a mentor for them, that is all in Tyra's head. From the looks at their faces of excitment to see her during panel, makes me think that that is the only time that they ever see Tyra. When she comes and visits them, they show them saying how excited they are that she is in their house. I'm sure they have no access to Tyra and Tyra does not reach out to these girls other than what is said during panel.

London said they were not allowed to leave the building and all that she had was two flights of stairs.She never mentioned if she ever used those flights of stairs.

Zgood, I always got the impression that someone off screen was holding up cards saying "scream and yell NOW!" and "act giddy around Tyra NOW". You know, that the screams when they see her are all prompted. I think London knew she was gaining weight but I think if she wasn't allowed to leave the building, she was pretty limited. With the stress of the competition, and the boredom of being stuck with those other girls (some of whom I'd have hated to be stuck with myself!), I can see how sitting around and eating would be about the only thing to do. But yes, someone on Tyra's team should have said something to her about this. It's why I prefer "Make Me a Supermodel." At least they seem to care about the health of the models. Tyra's concern always seems so fake. Like the shows where she's "making a statement" and girls' photos are all about that. It's like "OK, this episode we need to pretend we care" and "this episode we need to show we care about this issue". Bleah.

Oh I am sure all of those screams for Tyra are choreographed. They probably do it three or four times until they get it the way the director wants.

I think Teyona takes ok photos, but in real life, the poor girl is fairly unattractive, sometimes very much so. I was really, unfortunately, not surprised they sent Natalie home. It's really too much how much this show is rigged. They said that Aminat has not grown, takes poor photos, and Natalie takes consistantly great photos, but her expression is always the same, so who do they boot?...Natalie! I just don't get the reasoning behind this, of course there isn't any reasoning, just the person who is predetermined to win. My favorites are Allison and Flo.
