Wow. These women are stunning. Is it just me or do these girls look much more exotic than any other previous season? The premiere airs on Wednesday the 22nd at 8PM on UPN.

Yeah I don't see any ugly ducklings in the group, or anyone with an extremely unusual look. Those are usually my favorites. But of course I'll be watching!

Toccara is obviously the plus size model . Here's hoping she is a much nicer behaved person than our last plus size in season one (dang that CRS. I have forgotten her name)

Oh poop! Why does it have to be on Wednesday? That's choir night. Maybe they will do a rerun on another day. That would be nice.

One word Roteach - TIVO. UPN does seem to repeat their shows a lot, so I hope you can see it. I saw each of the models speak a little during a promo. It was only a few seconds each, but my impressions: -Magdalena is the least attractive to me, she looked like she had a fat nose. -Yaya seems like she will be the aggressive type. But she is very lovely. -There was something about Nicole I didn't like, but she was done before I could figure out what it was. She certainly didn't strike me as "model" pretty in the ad. -Julie, the Indian girl was stunning, I hope she does well. -I hope Toccara does well too, since she seems well proportioned and very pretty. I didn't think Robin from season 1 was all that attractive, and Anna, the plus model from season 2 was gone before we got to know her. - Kristi will be our Christian modest one. I hope she handles it better than her predecessors. I can already hear them telling her she's too commercial. -Didn't like Jennifer, although I can't remember exactly what she said. -Kelle was really gorgeous. -Amanda has something weird with her eyes. Some pigmentation problem that makes them super light. Not sure that will make her a top model, or just unique. That's all I can remember of them, can't wait for this season to start!

After hearing them talk in the promo commercial, I'm picking YaYa, Kristi and Jennifer to be in the final three or four ~ not because I liked them but because I could see them being in tv commercials which I think is a biggie for this contest.

Did you guys notice in the promo (which I saw watched on the UPN site), many of them mention how they aren't into drama? We'll see how that goes! The thing I am really anxious to see is, now that there have been two seasons, whether these girls will really step it up and do whatever it takes to win this thing. No crying because they fear heights. No freaking out over having to pose nude or because they had to get their hair cut. No whining because a designer says something that bruises one's ego. It'll just be "may the best model win". And seriously, if the producers, yet again, choose someone who takes the "I just can't pose nude because I have a family/it's against my religion" thing AGAIN I will be seriously disappointed. Twice was enough.

Canuck fans in Ontario...just a reminder that you don't necessarily need premium cable to watch the show tonight. City TV from Toronto is carrying it at 8PM as well as UPN

I am actually quite impressed with the premiere. And I didn't think that would be possible. Talk about a great combination between good casting and luck! I can appreciate them wanting memorable girls in the finals to draw in an audience, but I felt so bad for many of them. That girl from Miami who got into the bar fight (if you want to call it that)...I would have liked to have seen her get the chance to really compete. That girls seems to be one drug deal away from prison. It would have been cool to really see her life possibly change for the better. And intentionally choosing a stripper (Cassie, right?) and then showing Jay make a couple of catty remarks about her being a stripper was, in my opinion, cruel. As much as it was heart-warming to see Amanda-- the legally blind chick--be picked, how realistic was it? Aren't they wanting to shape career models? If her eyesight is deteriorating, then, in a few years she won't be able to model. And even though I don't have a children, I find it a little unsettling how a woman--a woman who in a few years won't be able to see her child--would give up time away from her son to be on a TV show. And why did they choose the girl with the black strip in her blonde hair to be in the finals? It was obvious right from when she was first shown she wasn't going to get picked. Why her? Personally, I'm not moved by Tyra at all. But I suppose to these girls she's a role model. Seeing her little pep talk to Eva--seemingly changing Eva's life within a few minutes--was eye-roll inducing. My very first prediction: I'd like to see Nicole win.

Are Mr & Mrs J & Tyra the judges for the whole season? What happened to psycho Janice Dickinson? Loved the show and seeing the audition process. Mrs. J had the funniest expressions, especially with that one girl who had the not so firm buttocks.

I thought the show was great. My pick to win right now is Leah. She lit up the room and the judges faces when she walked in. You read it here first...lol Amanda may have beautiful eyes and I feel for her disease but in the picture above, she looks like she is looking right through you, not at you. I am sure it is because of the disease but it is a little too eerie for modeling, imo. That blond with the black stripe reminded me too much of Katie from last year- remember the cry baby?

I always check out "Other Reality Shows" so if it had been reminded in that folder I would've known, no biggie, they'll repeat it next week I'm sure, I just gotta remember to set my DVR, thanks Crossfire.

Fab, She reminded me of Katie too. I like YaYa and she is intelligent too. I think Tyra really wants to pick an AA woman this time.

Good first show. But I'm assuming the pics above are after their hair changes which we'll probably see next week? Because I'm not recognizing some of them easily or I just can't remember all of them. I'm liking YaYa alot . . . Need to see more of the rest. I liked the way Tyra got right to the heart of what was eating Eva because let's face it ~ that kind of cruelty does come from pain within. I also think we saw an abreviated version of the exchange. But I hand it to Tyra for calling her on it. I don't think it means the entire problem was fixed but at least it opened Eva up to the fact that there even is a problem.

retinitis pigmentoa is a disease of the Retina at the BACK of the eyeball. Amanda looks so much like a good friend of mine it is disturbing! Her eyes are such a lovely colour of blue. I hope that she has seen specialists because I cant imagine anyone being told that they will be blind FOR SURE in ten years. They are reversing so many of the eye diseases now. My mom is blind in one eye with the same kind of condition as Amanda. It can be fixed by surgery. They are also able to fix this condition with Stem cells( new research ) ***** I am greatly looking forward to this new season. I wish they didnt choose so many of the same types of girls though. BOTH large sized models should have been picked in my opinion. The sight issue is HUGE for modelling. I am thinking that Amanda's eyesight is just starting to fail and she feels that she will be able to pull this off. Unfortunately, I dont understand WHY She told everyone~! Why? all its done is marked her. If she is blind enough that she is going to trip and break a leg if someone leaves something out on the floor of the apartment....then she will NOT be able to win this show. You have to be good at everything. Oh well, the show gives these lovely ladies a chance to been seen on TV. Good for them.
