It's Tyra's world, but she likes to pretend she's doing something in the REAL modeling world.

This probably isn't going to be a popular statement, but I'm so over the angry diva thing, bad language, bad tempers, and everything that goes along with that. I know the people who cast or choose these people love it because they love the drama and fights which brings in more viewers to see what will happen next, but enough already.

Jgalt, don't forget the constant yelling or VERY loud speaking. I'm really over the people who are cast on these shows who pull ALL of that.

Lakecat, "ugh, Alasia" what? Please don't tell me she "won" the best photo again?

I really don't see what Tyra sees in any of the three AA girls. However, because all three are still there, I suspect that Tyra's mission this season is for an AA girl to win.

Therefore I predict, Alasia, Kristi, or what's her name from last season will be the winner. (None of the three have impressed me, either in print or in the show.)

Yes Costacat, I think you're right, the "fix" is in. I couldn't believe Tyra reprimanded Jessica for being "mean". I know Jessica, Raina, and Brenda were talking negatively to each other about the other girls, but it was after they were verbally attacked, then they went on the offensive. Jessica, Raina and Brenda were pointing out the tacky, aggressive behavior, I guess speaking the truth is not allowed.

I'm just so sad this angry diva attitude is celebrated among some people and applauded by many.

I can't tolerate the new judge. He seems as phony as a $3.00 bill.

I don't get all the Angelea and Alasia love from the judges-the fix must be in. I did think Krista had a nice photo this week, though.

I also not liking this new judge - I actually think Ms. J was better at it. Tyra still sporting odd jumpsuits.

Angelea did have a nice picture but I didn't think it was the best nor did I think it really embodied her "character". But of course, with the "fix" in, of the final three girls, it'll be two of them (Krista, Alasia, Angelea).

Funny how this episode was all about personality. And Alasia and Angelea have very ugly personalities.

Alasia lost the challenge, blew it during the meet 'n greet, and provided a horrible photo yet she was allowed to stay. Truly, the fix is in.

I just watched the show this week. Alasia is delusional and makes excuses even when they make no sence. Her comment about I don't know how to meet new people I'm from Marietta and it is so small we all know everybody is so wrong. She doesn't know me and I have lived here all my life. Marietta is a huge suburb of Atlanta. Her highschool has well over 2000 students and there are 4-5 more highschools within a 15 mile radious the same way. She so needs to go.

angelea's pic did not say COVERGIRL to me. she looked tense and unfriendly. the eyes were looking to the side as well. Covergirl always makes direct eye contact.

alasia gets another softball challenge. In jeans and a tshirt playing A model on a Go See??

As soon as i saw that hideous schoolgirl outfit I knew that model was Doomed

its sad that she had her hair cut off and was penalized for being a quiet reserved personality.

Yes Sunshyne, I can understand why a girl cries when they practically shave her head. We woman are very attached to our hair ( no pun intended), the term "crowning glory" wasn't coined for no reason at all.

These lovely girls probably feel feminine and attractive and sexy with their long hair, then snip, they look like a boy. I know some people, especially tall, beautiful women can carry this look off, but you have to be prepared for it and it has to be your choice. The look can look terrific, look at Twiggy, but I can understand why it would take you a long time to feel comfortable with the change.

How is Alasia still there? Another week where she was told she only had 3 looks in all her photos plus she makes the girls late to an appointment. The next morning I would have left her when she was running late.

I can't stand Angelea. I don't like her attitude and I hope that is her downfall in New Zealand especially at the go see's. I don't think she takes really flattering photos either. She comes across looking like a drag queen in almost all her photos.

Alasia reminds me of the mom from Good Times-obviously not the weight but the shape of her face.

I really thought Alexandra was going this time. She does have a pretty face but it's also very forgetful.

Yes Sportygirl, Angelea's photo looked horrible. I couldn't understand the judges' praise for her. I guess I'm just so tired of "the hood" thing, improper english being spoken, foul language, terrible temper tantrums, I'm just tired of the whole thing. I guess I just pine for a more genteel time where manners counted. I'm just getting old and grouchy, not to mention politically incorrect.

Who left? I'd be willing to bet it wasn't Krista, Alasia, or Angelea.

So Alasia had the girls late again? She had everyone late last week, too. And I agree about the drag queen aspect, Sporty. I find it interesting that this season Tyra hasn't made that comment, and she's totally been all over girls who have that look before.

Girls like Alasia and Angelea really ruin these shows for me. It's not even the "hood" aspect. The lack of manners, the constant in-your-face shouting (no, you don't win the argument by shouting over the other person), the absolute sense of self-entitlement (which isn't helped by Tyra's drooling over either of those two girls). But one of them will win this season. Tyra's already decided that.

Anslee left this week. Alasia wasn't ready when the other girls left, so they took the elevator down without her. She ended up walking down the stairs, but fortunately for her, the girls were waiting in the car for her. I wouldn't have waited for her.

I agree, Costa, the arguments are draining on the show. I end up fast forwarding through them. I don't understand the new judges fascination with Alasia; without him, she would have been gone the first week.

Yuck!

At this rate, not many will be watching the finale.
I agree with all your comments. The empty fluff these girls are relying on is SOooo tiring! I've already written this season off as the worst ever.

I also had that feeling a while back that Tyra must have been determent to pluck out an AA winner from one of those three anger-filled ladies. The thing I don't get is, why are the edit/writers/whatevers showing us all those ridiculous sides of their soon-to-be AMTN a la Tyra??

Forgot to say, I want Ms. J. back as judge as well. Get rid of this left fielder please ...

Chy, I miss Ms Jay too and want her back! The new judge is just too full of himself plus his outfits are hideous and he is judging fashion!

Costa, I think the "drag queen" comment hasn't been made this season because Ms. Jay isn't on the panel this year. That and the fact that Tyra probably wants Angelea to win so she isn't going to make a comment like that.

I enjoy the show, and when I don't enjoy the show, I don't watch it. In terms of the fix being in for the winner and all that kind of stuff, since it is Tyra's show, I can't imagine she needs to fix anything. Its her show. And if it were my show, I'd pick who I wanted to win. Isn't that one of the perks of being the boss?

The "fix" that many of us perceive is that, while it is "Tyra's show" she leaves us with the impression that the girls are competing to win. If Tyra has predetermined who the winner is, why even bother with the charade of teaching the girls to model and compete for the title?

i do think it is a fix. My mom and i often talk during the show as to whom we feel is being "set up" during the photoshoot.

You can usually see two of the girls being given Horrific makeup or Ugly outfits to "work". instead there is no way to make the shot work and they end up in bottom two.

This Hairy week was no different. The plus sized girl's dress was Horrible and once again, Alasia is softballed into a beautiful gown with a tiny bit of hair at the bottom and Lovely subtle makeup.

others, like anslee, had Thick heavy crap on their faces. I'm soooooooo tired of Alasia being dragged thru this comp. She gave zero effort during the last two episodes and even Jay M. said he only got two or three different looks.

they blame it on inexperience but !!!!??? as if everyone else is fully experienced. Naduah was experienced and it didnt do her any good.

The previews look like Alasia gets totally lost at the go-sees in NZ. But, my guess is that she'll just get a talking to by mother tyra and someone else, possibly Alexandra, will go home this week.

It's a rigged train wreck, but I still seem to watch every week.

Yeah, the FIX is in!
And just as others have said, as long as Tyra is selling this show as a contest or talent-discovering, and throwing fixes whenever she wants, we are free to talk about that on an opinion board. I can't skip it for some reason, do FF it though.

I'm waiting to watch it on DVR later. Saw that seemingly Go-See disaster Alasia would encounter tonight. But those "competitions" mid-show every week do not ever have any effect on who goes at the end of each episode. How many times have we seen a girl who just won got sent home on account of a bad picture that Tyra chose to show?? Even if Jay M. praised the girl through out the photo shoot, she veers all the judges the way she wants.

I know this is going to sound terrible, I just don't see the super beauty that is Krista. My goodness. And I feel sorry for any really pretty attractive girl, it seems to be the kiss of death now to be classically beautiful.
