Is anyone watching this tonight? Just from looking at the previews, all the girls look very pretty.

No, I'm going to pass. After watching three seasons of ANTM, I know how catty and shallow--and sometimes driven--models can be. And yes, the modelling industry can be brutal and cruel. The girl who will win is the one who is the toughest personality-wise of the bunch. Blah, blah, blah.

I liked this better than ANTM so far. I thought the comments were pretty fair by the judges and not just for 'good tv'.

Which model was it that said she lived in group homes or foster homes?

Isn't the woman Petra the one who was in the tsunami and her boyfriend is missing?

Tex: Maybe she was just mentioned on the show. She was on the cover of last year's issue, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe she made an appearance on the premiere.

I think it said Petra is an advisor and that this show was filmed before the tsunami. So far I am liking this show better than ANTM, if for no other reason than they are not using freaky makeup and impossible stunts. So far, anyway. And all the girls in the beginning seem like "possibles", none are absolutely hopeless as seems to be the case on Tyra's show.

Thanks Rslover. When she first said that I was immediately rooting for her, because I've been in group homes...so I guess I felt a kinship. But then she started talking and I began to doubt that she was the same one who said she was in foster care - because I wanted her to be nicer! LOL She is very striking, more than the rest of the girls, I think. Her body isn't as great, though. I think she's too skinny....and Joel whatshisname said she had to lose weight in her back! I know he meant exercise it off, not diet, but geez. I'd trade my body in a nanosecond for any one of those models' figures. It looks like Alicia is the targeted villian for this show.

Those were tough eliminations. They use the same brutal elimination system as in the Miss Italia pageant, when the camera is on the girl (gorgeous!) and the host says: Per te finisce qui. (For you it's over), then onto the next girl (just as gorgeous) and the host says: for you it continues (you're still in the running). Any of those eliminated last Wednesday could easily have won on Tyra's Next Top Model. (thanks Catfat for steering me over here..)

I watched the first few minutes of this show. I can't believe you guys like it! I had to laugh when the woman who came in to talk to the girls (who introduced the hair stylist) said, "The modeling industry is brutal." LOL! LOL! LOL! Did I not call that one way back in my first post on this thread!? LOL! This show is so predictable! I also laughed hysterically when one of the girls looked right into the camera and said, "I'm like glass. I'm fragile and I break under pressure." WTF? LOL! LOL! LOL! Get yourself a broom! By the time this show is over, and by the time you turn 21, you're going to be shattered many times over! And as a side note: I am so sick of practically every hair stylist who works in LA or NY being referred to as a "celebrity stylist". Come on! There are zillions of celebs in both cities! Chances are, if you're a stylist long enough, you'll get to cut at least one celeb's hair at some point! And just because you do, you should not be referred to as a "celebrity stylist". You'd think a "celebrity stylist" is someone who is a celeb in their own right. When the stylist was introduced to the girls, I was thinking, who is this guy?

I think the first episode was more exciting to watch than last night's episode. I agree with the girl who was not happy with her hair. The guy did an awful job on her. On the other hand, I kept saying, oh what's the point, she'll be eliminated soon anyway. I find stylists for Tyra's show to be better. My favorite so far is Alicia, she reminds me that model (was she from Poland?)(can't remember the name), anyway she was in a movie with Tom Selleck (can't remember the title either). I agree with the critics, she has to smile more. Jenna, could be the type that men like to see in Sports Illlustrated.

The Tom Selleck movie was Her Alibi and her name is Paulina Porizkova. I kept thinking she looked familiar so that must be what I was thinking.

I agree with Spunky, Betti's hair was terrible, i don't blame her for hating it, i think they could have done something better than that.

I guess they have the pecking order in place. I was not surprised to see Betti go. Alicia may be in trouble if she gets the producers mad again. She could have handled the guys to her advantage by posing as the Ice Queen, tall and in the centre while the guys at her feet. She would have looked magnificient.. Oh well...

I guess everyone has abandoned this show, i'm still watching, i too was'nt suprised Betti got the boot, i don't think they really wanted to keep her as long as they did, Alicia's attitude stinks, she'll be gone next.

Oh I like this show as well. I was surprised that betti was booted, thought that Alicia should have gone first.

Ah yes, another case of a girl being kept because she is "good tv". We wouldnt want to eliminate the girl everyone wants gone would we?? **** I am shocked that Betti was booted when Alicia was arguing with the photographer and set person!! The way she commanded the male models OFF the SET! YIKES! Oh well, hopefully she will get a little comeupance on the next show. Alicia really irritated me LOL.

Alicia should have been 'fired' right there on the set. Especially when she whined, "It's all about MEEEE!" No, it's not! It's all about the CLIENT. You're just a glorified hanger, my dear. GET OVER YOURSELF! Seriously, you cannot be a diva when you're starting out as a model. Even after you become famous, you still need to watch it or clients will not use you as often as you think they should. You are there simply to showcase the clothing. Just because there doesn't happen to be very much of it doesn't negate the fact that you are being paid to do what the client wants, HOW the client wants it. Alicia is definitely being kept for the drama. I think Betti got the short end of the stick and it's a shame. I loved her look. I also like the gal with the gap in her teeth (don't remember her name). SHe reminds me of Lauren Hutton and she just looks DIFFERENT than what you usually see. It's refreshing to see that difference. I doubt she'll make it much further, though, given the way the judging on this is going.
