Finally saw the last two shows.

I loved how they blasted one girl for having her hair in her face, then fawned all over another one who had hair in her face; and she even got best photo.

The runway with the pendulums. Really now, I know it takes some timing and all, but those things were easy to see, and swung pretty wide. Why did the girls have so much trouble. Do they not have peripheral vision?

Ren wanted to leave cause she couldn't take the drama. Yet she's the one who ran to tell that one girl what the others were saying about her. So she pretty much enabled that cat fight. And wasn't she the one who told the screamer girl to shut the F up? Sure, that screaming would have gotten on my nerves too, but it seems like there are more diplomatic ways to go about asking someone to tone it down. Even though the other girl was over the top dramatic with her aggressive response to being told to shut the F up, Ren pretty much started that drama too. Don't diss the drama if you're putting yourself right in the middle of it.

Who, I think they did not get a test walk on the runway with the pendulum. They were just shown the runway and they had to gauge the timing of it.

Although there are alot of prettier girls, Alasia is my favorite. She seems so ordinary until she steps in front of the camera. At least so far that's how it is. She's not a push over either. The other girls might think they can make fun of her, but look out... she's a tiger when she gets angry. lol

I just don't get what's so great about Alasia's photos. Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I'm starting to feel like I did during the seasons that Teyonna and Saleisha won, I just don't see what the judges see. I thought Raina's vampire photo was much better than Alasia's.

I am sure some of those girls had better shots than the ones picked.

Tonight's Show:
Brenda is going to have another makeover to make her more edgy. They shaved the sides of her head for the edge.

Covergirl challenge at Times square where they have to improv the action. It's shown on the jumbotron. Winner: Tatianna

Anslee lamenting about the house. Starting to get into it with Alasia. DO NOT SPEAK TO HER LIKE THAT!!! All this over thawed vegetables. What is wrong with these girls....
Tyra mail ! Beware of the no neck monster. Vampire photo shoot. They will all be wearing whiteout lenses so they can't see anything.

Tyra needs to get a better stylist. She appears to be trying to bring back one piece jumpsuits all by herself.

Jessica - not enough tension in the body, tyra loves it. falls flat.
Alasia - they all love it, sexy, works
Anslee - not so great (she's probably going home) makes excuses.
Tatianna - very dramatic, tyra is feeling it. Emotional range.
Brenda - sexy hair, boaring through the soul, but in deliberations they didn't seem to like it.
Angelea - Nigel likes it, but would like more neck and throat. Nigel in her corner.
Alexandra - vampire romance
Krista - face is wrong per tyra
Raina - dark energy, using every part of her body
Simone - ungainly, mannequin-like, no magic

Tatiana liked the shoot because she works with the dead at the mortuary. IMO either her or Raina should have been top photo.

Top girl - Alasia (snap!) 2 weeks in a row
Bottom 2 - Anslee and Simone
Going home - Simone (don't understand this, they talked like they were going to keep her and push her more) Simone is way too smart for ANTM.

I don't get Alasia or why the heck Krista is still there. They continue to praise Alasia, and I don't like any of her pictures, the same with Krista. Poor Krista is, am I allowed to say, unattractive? Brenda was a beautiful girl until they ruined her hair, they also did a terrible job on Simone's hair. I think Simone should have stayed, she's a beautiful girl, I think they should have kept her and just worked with her more. I think Tatiana and Raina are the stand outs so far, but I'm sure that isn't the way this thing is going to end, for some wierd reason they seem to be pushing Alasia.

One piece jumpsuits on Tyra = not a good look.

I got the feeling that Tyra picks the pictures SHE wants the other judges to see. So SHE controls who gets the good pics vs the bad ones. This time I really got the feeling there were far better pics taken of some of the girls than she displayed.

I don't get why Alasia or Krista are there still either. I don't see anything in them that is "model". Although, admittedly, I think Simone was the worst of the bunch this week. I thought for sure Simone was going to stay though, after Tyra said she just needed to get shaken up.

I agree that there are probably better photos in the bunch that could have been chosen. During the photo shoot, Jay was really positive with most of the girls. Usually, you see him kind of snarky about one or 2 of them. Not this time.

I wonder what Angelea thinks when she sees Alasia acting out? Angelea got eliminated the last cycle for fighting with other girls, and here is Alasia up in everyone's face and they praise her every week!

Alasia needs to grow up. She acts like a child.

I'm so disappointed in the obviously slanted comments and judging ( and hair cuts) on this show. I mean, I get it, it's Tyra's show but there comes a time when someone has to say, the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes. Tonight they kicked off one of the most attractive girls, go figure.

I liked Tatiana, too bad.

Tyra's outfits at panel are awful!

As someone else has previously pointed out, Tyra is the one to choose which of the pictures get shown to panel. How convienient. Talk about a stacked deck. I watched the show again today, just for the heck of it. When Titiana was doing her shoot, Jay kept saying "I LOVE this, that's great", and Tatiana was leaping into the air etc., Where were these pictures? Jay looked into the little camera thing so he saw the image. We just see what Tyra wants wants us to see to justify the ending she desires.

Absolutely. This show is very similar to The Apprentice in the sense that whoever wins, wins based purely on Tyra's/Trump's whim. It's very hard to take it seriously.

It seems to me that Tyra is leaning toward whatever the new judge says. A few times, I've heard Nigel take the contrary approach (most of which, I agreed with). But, in the end, it seems that the person who leaves is the one that the new judge thinks should go.

Yes Jimmer and Kookliebird, I agree with both of you. I also think Tyra is following the new judge. He seems to speak another language half the time. Is that Fashion speak?

I wish the models could choose their photos to show at elimination. That could get interesting.

That would be much more entertaining and put much more control back into the model's hands.

Except that in the real world, models don't get to choose the photos. The client ALONG WITH input from the creative director (in this case, Jay) and the photog, chooses the photos. That's the step that's missing here. Giving Tyra sole control of picture selection pretty much guarantees that her pets will have their best pix viewed by panel while those she doesn't really like will get their worst pix viewed.

What I'd like to see is some spunk from the models. Something like "I know there was a better picture because Jay was really excited about blah."

Then again, I really think Tyra is a joke and only watch this show out of mild curiosity any more. She is never gonna produce a real top model, no matter how many "cycles" she produces.
