Thank freakin' God Camille is gone. She was in fine form tonight. I dislike everything about that girl. The whole "This is war and I'm going to win" attitude was so unnecessary. Everything indicates that Shandi will win. And it seems to all come down to her body. She really is a nice girl, but Yoanna and April have more savvy. Shandi's "ah shucks" vibe is sweet, but will it be enough to help her build a career beyond this show? And the previews! What was Shandi thinking? I don't know what was worse: listening to Tyra rap or that weird animation thing (using the girls' heads on cartoon bodies) to illustrate the plane trip between NYC and Milan. Ugh.

I can't believe that Shandi gets swept up in the moment and cheats on her boyfriend. I am sorry, I know I will sound judgemental but I do not have high hopes for her future. She will become whatever that industry wants her to be. She obviously gets sucked into bad situations easily and thinks about it later. I can't stand people who lose themselves to try to be other things. I see it happening in her future. There are alot of temptations in that life and I think she is very susceptible.

Fabnsab: You could very well be right. It's one thing for an impressionable young woman to be lured into temptations, but it's even more of a concern when a girl has already experimented with those temptations. I wonder if Tyra loses any sleep over these issues.

Does anyone else think that part of why Camille was let go was because of her talking about Yoanna possibly having an eating disorder? I mean, her attitude stunk, but that was really low. I am glad Mercedes let Yoanna know about it.

I agree with you, Carlps! I wondered that myself when she got the boot. I like Mercedes but it doesn't look good for her either. On the other hand, it looks very good for Top Model!!! I just read the following at Yahoo news: quote:UPN, meanwhile, had one of the biggest sweeps success stories with America's Next Top Model. The Tyra Banks (news)-hosted reality series, averaging 6.5 million viewers since its January second-season premiere, kept climbing, hitting an all-time high of 7.6 million last week and taking down WWE Smackdown! as the netlet's signature show. "Top Models has turned into a monster," CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves said Tuesday. (CBS and UPN share corporate ownership, hence the compliment.) The show should help UPN edge the WB in the sweeps among total viewers, averaging 3.91 to the Frog's 3.9 million through Monday. The two netlets are tied in the 18-to-49 race.

Ha. Good. I'm hating the WB right now (for cancelling "Angel") and I'm glad they're getting their butt kicked.

Man I'm having nightmares from the previews for next week, Shandi's boyfriends screaming voice "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING????" resonating in my ears... I feel so bad for her, I mean, how much experience could she have? She's probably never been found attractive by anyone other than her boyfriend and she got caught up by flirtation and who knows, alcohol maybe. Fahnsab, I totally understand what you're saying and how you feel, but I just have more sympathy for people who get swept up I guess. Flirting is so much fun and feeling attractive, plus she's a million miles from her boyfriend and they've been having problems. Obviously we don't really know what's gonna happen yet, but I hope Shandi is okay and doesn't leave. As for who will win, although I like Shandi, I'd rather see April, Yoanna or Mercedes win it, I don't think Shandi has what it takes emotionally, she just doesn't seem tough enough to me. Another great show, I felt bad for Camille since she wanted it so badly, but she's just to rigid, hopefully she'll learn her lesson. As for Yoanna and her body, it doesn't matter at this point how "small" she gets, she needs to WORK OUT, lift weights, get a trainer, I felt so sorry for her as she must really be starving, but it's obvious that she's got love handles and is out of shape.

Geeez, just as I was thinking Camille was showing a good side, she tells the camera that the best way to get revenge is to kill the other person with kindness which is the only reason she was being nice to Yoanna. How sad that this beautiful woman really has such serious issues when it comes to other women. Shandi ~ sigh ~ I can see her succeeding in modeling whether she wins this or not but I hope she gets some counseling to deal with the tremendous lifestyle change that will come with it. Mercedes ~ I keep thinking back to Adrienne and how critical they were of her all the way through and yet she won in the end. I like Mercede's exotic look and even if she is commercial ~ would that really be so bad? I would think that people who do toothpaste and even make-up ads make good money at it. Yoanna ~ I just don't care for her. To me, she's not that much better then Camille. Good show last night! And I agree with Scorpio re WB.

Glad Camille is gone. She was just way to rigid in her attitude. Loved Tyra's Janice imitation! Of the four left - I would like to see Mercedes win even if she is labled commercial. She is more genuine than all the others combined. I think her attitude is great. Shandi, her boyfriend, and next week's show - yikes! One the one hand, Shandi can just tell the judges that Janice is her role model... On the other hand what is this girl thinking!?!? Guess she's not, that's the problem. And me to Scorpio. I just got through watching Angel I had taped earlier. I am mad at WB too!

I do like Mercedes a lot, but I think she will be booted next week. Did Shandi say "I had sex." on the phone to her b/f?

I just don't have anything new to add, Pamy! I agree with Julie, I think that may be the boot order too. Last year they surprised me with booting Elyse 3rd, so maybe Shandi will go sooner. The previews of Shandi's mistake were so painful for me to watch. I don't think we actually heard her say she had sex. Her boyfriend shrieked "You had sex?!?" She may have replied, "No, we just groped each other." or something to that effect and they've edited it out for max drama. My early 20's were a downward spiral of stupid mistakes and bad choices involving men and alcohol. I have much sympathy for Shandi and I hope this doesn't ruin her chances and her life. Mercedes is my favorite and I think she's got a bright future, but not as ANTM. I loved how she said being cute was a nervous habit. I think April or Yoanna will win, probably April. I don't think she's that good, though. Adrienne was my favorite last year, but I never thought she'd win. Janice really disliked her at first. I lived in Italy for 2 years, met and married my husband there. I loved the Verona scenes, that wasn't too far from our home. My favorite lines from this episode: "That's where they all come from, Walgreens and Dairy Queen." - the stylists "She is a meanie and a bad lady!" - Shandi. She obviously was shaken by how harsh that go-see was, so I was happy that she could deal with it.

Speaking of the "That's where they all come from, Walgreens and Dairy Queen", statement... There have been a handful of times when Tyra (and now the stylists) mention working at Walgreens as if to imply only losers work at places like that. Actually, Tyra leaves that impression more than the stylists did. Every time it's mentioned, I'm offended. WTF? First of all, Shandi is only 19 for Godsake. What? Is she expected to be the CEO of some company by now? Is all of Shandi's years of knowledge and experience being wasted at Walgreens when she could be making $500K a year doing something Tyra would approve of? Please. And especially in Shandi's case. From all accounts, that girl was one step away from being in prison. I'm guessing working at Walgreens gave her some needed stability. What's so awful about that? Not every white, blonde-haired, blue eyed teenage girl gets recognized at a mall for her modelling potential and is in Paris a week later. Some people lead normal lives and need to work in a place like Walgreens to start out from. And even if a woman in her 50's is working in a drugstore, so what? Does that mean she is a failure? At one point Tyra said to Shandi something like, "You're not going back Walgreens after this!". So what if she did? What if Shandi isn't yet ready to move beyond Walgreens while she matures and gets her life together? Shame on Tyra for being such a snob. For someone who wants the world to think she's down to earth and humble, she can't help but, from time to time, reveal how shallow she really can be.

P.S: I made an error. Shandi is 21 not 19.

Why did Shandi even tell her boyfriend about her mistake (whatever it was)? Keep your guilty confession for your priest, Little Friend, after this there is no going back. I wish they would not let these girls talk to their boyfriends back home. How many time have we heard these jealous guys lambasting the girls, the girls breaking down, and then they fall apart and end up being no good for the rest of the show, usually being eliminated. Many men are not self-assured enough to let their girlfriend or fiancee go off to a glamourous place without him, no matter what they pretend. They end up hassling and verbally abusing until the girls are a shredded mess. I know first hand of this.

Catfat: I'm guessing Shandi told him because she realized it would end up on TV and he would find out that way if she didn't tell him first. Of course they would let them talk to their boyfriends (or anyone else they are close to) the angst those calls create makes for good TV.

Catfat, I'm sure Scorpiomom is right, Shandi was smart cuz she knows it'll be shown on tv, but I also get the feeling that Shandi is very honest and probably would've told him anyway, just like she told him she didn't tell that guy at the club that she had a boyfriend. Man, her boyfriend sounded soooooooooooooooooo mad, I'm almost scared to watch next week's show...

On the UPN site, it says that next week's show is a "filler" show -- unseen footage from the season so far. The Shandi/boyfriend episode won't air until the week after next. Bummer, huh?

Scorpio & Laura, you are both right, of course, he would have found out anyway. But maybe she could have postponed the confrontation until after the competetion ended. And by then she would have been able to move on to the next level of her life. But sometimes this kind of confession (about infidelity) is best left unsaid, rather than unburden your soul for your own peace of mind, don't cause pain to someone else. Just live with your mistakes and keep atonement to yourself. I really like Shandy and am sorry that she was put into this situation by the show's producers, because I think it was totally a set up.

Admittedly, I have not been watching the entire season but I have caught the last couple shows. Wasn't it Shandi who freaked out just because her boyfriend was going to see a movie with someone? (And wasn't that someone's husband going to be there or something?) Sorry, I don't remember all the deets. Then she goes out and flirts with guys at a bar (wasn't there a phone number exchange?) and doesn't tell the guy she has a beau? And if we are to believe the promos for next week, it looks like she now sleeps with someone else. It seems to me that Shandi is the jealous one and if the boyfriend doesn't trust her, it looks like he's right not to. JMO. She's 21, old enough to know better. Also JMO.
