Cindylouwho, I laughed and laughed at your post, because I have the same thought every week. I've posted many times before that Tyra must not watch The Soup. Remember when Joel pointed out that she gave Miley Cyrus a picture of herself for the girl's birthday? Maybe Tyra has been at least informed but just doesn't care. I kind of like Allison's doll-like eyes...she has such a unique look! But I totally hated her hair. One doll-like feature is enough. I like London, she's my fave so far. I don't think Tahlia will last - she'll be booted for the same reasons Isis was. She's being used as a draw, but with her differences she won't be able to hack it. I tried modeling when I was a teen, but I was rejected over and over because of all the scars on my torso from my more than 2 dozen surgeries. The reality is, unless you're unscarred, paper-thin, and over 5'9", you won't get much work. I noticed she doesn't have a bellybutton...it brought back a lot of emotions for me, because I didn't have one until I was 15. I was born with Bladder Exstrophy (which meant half my bladder protruded out of my body - I have a picture of me as a baby, but I don't think any of you wanna see that), and the umbilical cord went around my exposed bladder. This wasn't fixed until I was over a year old (yes, they left my bladder sticking out of my body for 14 months). When I finally had the first operation, they sewed me up and left me with no belly button. At 33, I wouldn't care. But as a teen, I was severely self-conscious about it, even though I couldn't have worn a short top or bikini even if I had one, since my scarring is so severe. But I just felt somehow, for lack of a better word, unhuman. So a plastic surgeon "made" one when I was 15, and to be honest, I don't think it looks real. But I don't care anymore. Thank God acceptance comes with age. Then again, I wish I had been able to get bigger boobs instead.

'Top Model' audition ends in chaos; six injured http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/14/top.model.bedlam/ Hard to believe that fights erupt over getting into this show.

I really disliked most of the blonde makeovers this year. It washes some of the girls out. I absolutely hate London's new color. I liked Fo's cute cut, but I can totally emphathize with her about losing her femininity. And to top it off they put her in the photo shoot with electric blue lipstick. I'd have cried, too! BTW, so not on the Sandra love train. I don't think she's that pretty and her attitude is just plain rude.

I first saw the clip of that crowd in New York on the Italian news and wondered if it was some old news to get the current group of participants, then I saw it on ET and realized this was just recent and couldn't connect the need for Tyra to do that now if the season just started. Was she trying to get new participants for next season? It wasn't clear to me from that clip. Whatever the reason, she really got the publicity for the show and more will tune in I'm sure.

Spunky, she's holding auditions now for the next cycle of "petite" models (5'7" and under).

It was Nijah and Allison in the bottom 2. They sure weren't sending quirky Allison home, so Nijah is now gone.

Last week, Alison's photo was in top place. This week she was in the bottom two. That says to me that this week's photographer wasn't any good or that the concept wasn't any good or the shoot director wasn't any good. Yet they made it out to sound like Alison had failed them somehow. I still say she looks like a young Sarah Brightman (Phantommmmm of the Operaaaaaa)

oh my a "petite" top model... Tara is desperate for ideas but I guess all that hoopla got her the publicity she needed to boost the show ratings.. Another elimination that didn't surprise me. For a black model I think Teyona has a chance with her striking facial oval structure. I like Courtney's face and I think she is the "oversized" model and will stick around for a while. London has the right personality but something is off from her waist down... Natalie is okay and has a great walk but doesnt' look to me so striking after all... Celia has an overall look which is okay on the runway but her facial features are a bit off with recessed eyes and too big a mouth... Allison may be quirky enough for them to keep her a bit longer but she'll be gone. Too bad there isn't one I'd like to see Top Model...

Catfat, Alison DOES kinda look like a young Sarah Brightman. I always find it interesting when a girl's photo goes from top to bottom in one week. The photographer, the makeup, the director... it's not always the girl's fault!

In any photo shoot, it is always going to be the look, the edit, the photographer, the director, the designer and so on an so forth...the mix. That's what makes the "Top Model." That's what Tyra had...She consistently brought the whole package together. It's her show, she's the icon, she's telling them that they have to make the end result work regardless of the compentency of the idea, the campaign, the photographer. And, frankly, she's right.

It is looking like it might be Tahlia since she just has not gotten her confidence back- or Allison- ditto. Based on the first challenge anyway... Celia won first challenge. I guess there actually is a winner every week too- getting the photo up in the house. Oh yay- Sandra is not doing well in the second part....

Tahlia doing great in the photo shoot and Kortnie blowing it. Being as I really hate cutsey spellings of things I believe a cute name elimination is in order for Kortnie in any case. Girls are ganging up about Tahlia leaving as she says she wants to leave when she does badly and then changes her tune when she does well.

Kortnie went home but oh boy, did Ceceilia blow it when she spoke up to Tyra about Thalia wanting to go home, espcially after Thalia got best photo. As soon as she walked out I knew it was going to be a big problem. Don't they ever learn they are not to complain or speak out in front of the judges about the other girls. It never goes well.

Thanks Megs. LMAO @ your "Oh yay - Sandra is not doing well" comment! (And nope, I've had problems sleeping this week, another surgery needs to be scheduled and work is crazy and I'm feeling uber stressed, so I've been waking up at 3 and unable to get back to sleep!)

This was the second time they had the perfect opportunity to get rid of Sandra and they blew it. I am sick of her attitude! For some girls, they have one bad photo shoot and they are gone but for other girls like Sandra they get many chances. Sandra took a bad photo week one and did a bad runway walk and survived the bottom 2. This week she did terrible in the posing challenge to the point that Benny Ninja commented on it in judging and she took a bad photo. While Kortnie wasn't great, I think she had more potential. Why do the redhead girls never seem to make it that far???

No matter how good of a photo Celia does next week, she will be in the bottom 2. Tyra was not a happy camper at Celia's outburst.

I can't believe Celia did what she did. Did she really think Tyra would have said...Is this true Tahlia? Then you should go, not Kortnie.. I mean really?? She dug herself a bit of a hole. I'm sure she feels sick to her stomach about it now. Glad to see previews of her and Tahlia talking it out. I think they're just keeping Sandra for friction. I thought Kortnie was gorgeous but not so good with posing or pictures.. oh well
