I have a feeling that last night's show was a throw away because everyone except the winner, whose name I cannot remember, were terrible. They set up a shoot that was impossible to do unless you could skate. They probably thought more of them would be able to skate and they would get at least a few good shots. But the whole thing was a disaster. They were able to get rid of one of the weaker contestants, but they really learned nothing about the rest of them. In my opinion, it was the worst shoot I have seen in the entire history of the show, with the exception of the moving runway.

something popped into my head the other night when discussing ANTM with my ma. Health and Safety- possible Union?? Surely in the industry there must be Cameramen/ lighting/ gaffers>? associations - rules and Regulations. the makeup artists must have Legal rules to follow as to Content of makeup and what is allowed etc. Each season Tyra will insinuate that the Model MUST do things dangerous to themselves and could cause permanent injury.....IF they are told to by the director. I think of eye problems involving Contact lenses and water/ sea animals. I remember the shooting where the girls were being Blasted with Garden hoses in their eyes, up nose and IN their ears. All can cause Infections. Surely there are some kind of Workers Compensation Laws that have to protect vunerable young models?? There are girls out there 12-15 yrs old who dont have the ability to say NO to dangerous situations. I wonder if Tyra even understands the last thing she should be telling underage girls is to do ANYTHING the director wants (even if you are uncomfortable)

thk goodness she's gone. Never should have made it to Italy. That skanky Hooch pose did it for her. The nail in the coffin. Europeans seem to prefer the delicate waif type face in their models. Liz's strong male bone structure wouldnt work there. OH and yes, italy can be humid. OMG when i was there in 1990, it was so hot n humid my jeans felt wet/damp. i regretted wearing them oh and next week is Go Sees. guess that will be Ann's Last week. She just is such a zero for personality. i am cringing at how bad this could go.

Who left? I am kinda liking Jane and Chris myself. I liked Ann at first but now she fills me with total rage , saying the same stuff over and over and over. She doesn't even try to push past her awkwardness and winning five best photos in a row didn't help. She must go!

Ann seemed to be least affected by the heat. Wonder if growing up in the Texas heat and humidity helped? Of course they all looked miserable in those ridiculously heavy clothes.

i think ann is truly having a mental breakdown. Her hair was unbrushed and bushy at the judging. She looked sick frankly. She still has such a rocky clumsy walk. you'd think that Tyra would make sure they get tons of coaching/ help. I dont know. Ann MIGHT be able to pull out a decent Go see but I'm cringing

I just don't understand why they keep Ann. Liz may have gone right after Ann, so I don't know why Ann was kept and Liz kicked out. Maybe Tyra didn't like Liz attitude, especially last time when she kept laughing during the commercial shoot. The way she kept complaining for the heat must have been a 'no no' for Tyra, when models are asked to work in the summer with warm clothes on for the winter collection. In Milano it will be a different story when they have to meet the designers and be judged by them. Ann may be skinny and tall but her walk is awful and her ears are just awful as well. Her eyes are bulging and looking at her neck you'd think it's a guy not a girl. They should just have merci on her and let her go, why keep her hopes so high.. I don't know. I so loved to see Venice, they way they shot the canals, I tried not to look at the girls but focus at their surroundings to take it all in and memories of my stays there coming back... Nice! Sure it's hot but not any more than LA or Texas..

bulging eyes and a large lump on neck.. Hyperthyroid possibly This could explain her Nervousness/ jumpiness and why she looks panicky a lot. I think she is going to ROCK that statue shoot tho. It MIGHT save her if the Go Sees arent too bad

ok, so what the heck!! its like no one even tried. Surely someone has taken a bus? or a metro? you count the stops so you know when to get off. In europe it can be confusing but everything is colour coded so you KNOW what line you are at. I thot it was surprising that No one on Panel was the least bit interested in how the Guy ranted about how wonderful ann was at Versace. Ya she was disqualified, but that was due being late. others never got a booking at all. I dont understand how Jay goes on and on about a model being great or full of emotion and then the Panel at judging says something opposite Both quiet girls are constantly accused of NOT having personalities. I can feel their frustration. It bugs me that false thinking from the judges is that theyre quiet ISNT real, that they are HIDING themselves- that they need to Break loose. Its insulting. I am similarly quiet and i have TONS Of personaltiy. However, i will Never FAKE being exuberant and squeal while jumping up n down like Chelsea does. It seems to me that Tyra has always LOVED fakedy fake fake people... like that Eva. I dont know. I still say Ann posed the best during the challenge but kayla's Story made her the better choice. i didnt care for the pose at all. her face was terrible.

I am glad Ann made it through go see week. Only one other girl made more than one go see and two were late. And Ann was the only one booked by Versace. All of these things allowed her to kind of slide by the go sees challenge. Then her photo shoot was good. The next big hurdle for her will be the commercials. A lot of that will come down to whether she can memorize the lines well enough to do the commercials without so many takes, because she is probably going to be weak in her presentation. But she may surprise us. I find myself just rooting for her. Not sure why. Maybe I just like it when a long shot pulls it off.

Did you notice that Ann still had some of the 'clay' in her hair at panel? In the past, by this time, Tyra would be all over them to 'look like models' when they come into the panel. They would be knocked down if they didn't. But again, Ann gets a pass. To me, Ann looks like what my mom used to call a 'rag-a-muffin'. Based on the type of model (very thin) Italians like, Ann probably wins this time.

I think one reason I like Ann is her humility. I am so tired of the girls who are so sure they are going to win. I know you have to have confidence and I wish Ann had more, but some of them are just off the charts in their catty remarks about the other girls.

Something struck me about the go sees this time. Why did they all have problems finding the places? If one or two had had trouble, I could understand it, but they all had trouble. When I was a teacher and I gave an assignment and everyone had problems with it, I usually figured that there was a problem with the assignment. Were these girls just that dense or was there something especially hard about getting around in that city?

I think it's because they are stuck in their room and can't get out to explore. So, they are thrown out into the city 'cold'. If you've never been to a foreign country, learning how to get around is really difficult.

So Ann and Chelsie are in the finals. I was hoping for an Ann and Kayla final. There is something just endearing about Kayla. She has a unique look, and I love the red hair. I am just not impressed with Chelsie. To me her looks are very ordinary. We have seen her a million times. I think the reason she has made it this far is her prior experience in modeling, and she does have the "sparkling personality" down pat. I was impressed with how hard Ann tried this time in the "teach" and the interview. I laughed when she said that when she speaks, it sounds like she is shouting in her head but sounds like mumbling to people listening. I wonder if she has a hearing problem. I was blown away by Ann's photo shoot. It is amazing the difference in her when she is dressed up and in front of the camera. I was stunned that she did so well in a moving shoot. I have my reservations, though, about her ability to walk the runway. But I will be pulling for her. I really like it when someone unique wins.

What are they going to do with Ann's elephant ears??? This show is getting too laughable, if they make her the winner, I'll know they're all gone nuts!! I've enjoyed seeing Milan, Venice and Verona and those fabulous locations, but the judges and Tyra are out to lunch!!

Her ears would not be a problem. That is why you have hair and makeup experts. I read where they can even tape your ears back against your head so they don't stick out.

chelsea is way too commercial imho. she seemed boring and cliche' during the video. I'm getting tired of that same exact look she does over and over again...mouth slightly open, coy look in her eyes. tyra TOLD ann to get weird with her walk and be even more awkward and stilted. i'm not hte least bit surprised none of it could be used. Ann was the only one Versace said they would use. the exact phrase was Perfect Body. i think she has it in the bag -- but who knows

guess its obvious. this season has been all about Ann. I will drop dead of SHOCK if chelsea still wins. But then again, we'll see if the Rep from Vogue Italia is on panel. I think what they say will dominate the other three.

I agree Sunshyne... I'd be surprised if it's Chelsea. In my humble opinion, Ann is deserving of the win. She may not possess Chelsea's savvy, but she takes the better pictures. It's been fun watching the ugly duckling turn into a swan. I'm definitely rooting for Ann.

this truly is chelsea's last chance . even the covergirl shoot photographer labelled her as 'commercial'. The sr rep from IMG models seemed friendly enough when meeting chelsea but you could see him almost counting the Jobs as Ann towered over him as she sat down. i honestly dont know how tyra could give this to ann when she is pretty well guaranteed a contract by someone in italy. Chelsea wont be hired for anything without the win.

Ann won. And I think she deserves it. The theme of the cycle was high fashion. Ann was definitely more high fashion than Chelsey. She had the number one picture at least 6 times. And while Chelsey won challenges, she never had the best picture. Ann grew more than any of the other girls. Not just in modeling but in personality and presence. I was stunned by her voice in the commercial. It sounded so confident and clear. I had no idea she could sound like that. She had a fresh and unique look. She is not someone we have seen in magazines a million times. And I thought she did great on the runway. She obviously has been practicing. And while her walk may not be the traditional runway walk, it was very striking and fierce. In the end, Ann was just the best model. I don't think they should ever give the win to a girl because it is her last chance or because they think the other girl will make it anyway. Those are valuable prizes and there is no guarantee that anyone who does not win will make it. If a girl earns it, she should win. It was tough for all the girls who did not win. You don't make them America's Next Top Model because you feel sorry for them. You do it because they are the best.

I found this whole "Ann" win too laughable! So she can take better pictures and a good photographer may make her really 'editorial', but a top model is beautiful even without makeup or heavily re-touched photographs and is also gorgeous on the runway. I don't know what Tyra wanted to prove with this win but that poor girl won't be able to last in the fashion world. Other models, really gorgeous models, will remark on her ears and bad skin and bad walk and posture and ugly teeth and something wrong with her thyroid that is not working properly, her neck and eyes have something of that genetic flaw... she will hear of criticism and she may crack and lose that bit of confidence she gained during the show. The whole point is this is not TOP TOP Model material, the show should bring out a really gorgeous girl and not trying to make a model out of 'spauracchio' as they will call her in Italy... I'm sure.

truthfully, would expect Ann to get a fair amount of work then drift into what she really is drawn to.... the artistic side of it. Personally i think of ann as being a little bit like a 13 yr old emotionally. She hasnt been with men, has no experience as a soughtafter woman and indeed i think she may blossom. However, i think she could melt down once things get too tense and quit it all. hopefully she'll be a few $$$ and this will give her the money to do whatever she wishes in the future. Poor chelsea, really was too old for this show. On other country top model shows the contestants are YOUNG. even 16 !

Ann will be fine. I think people underestimate her. Because she does not rattle on all the time like the other girls, people tend to think she is a little stupid. I don't think so. She is just not very experienced. That experience will come. All supermodels are not gorgeous. Iman is not gorgeous even when made up. But she is striking. The experts in the fashion world seemed to favor Ann over Chelsey and I would trust their opinion.
