sure, catfat. :-) btw, i am the one who brought up the village of the damned reference. i was referring to her haircolor, too. her personality (imho) doesn't help her out much either. i just don't want her to win, or yaya for that matter. same reasons with yaya as the rest of you all. ms.-i'm-better-than-everyone. loved how excited eva and ann were about the pearls and saying this one win was better than all 5 of yaya's put together.

i was disappointed with ann snubbing eva, too. and whoever above said that about ann having an intense childhood....i think when she said they weren't allowed to watch movies or read books, i think she meant while they were in the competition, because then one of the judges said, she couldn't tell them that she never read a book or saw a movie before the competition. that was just the way i understood it.

Jbean: On two occasions, Jay made references to movie, "My Fair Lady" and "The Matrix" to help Ann better get into character when they were shooting. Both times she didn't know what he was referring to. She didn't seem to know about either movie and then, later told the judges, it was because she wasn't allowed to watch movies at home.

oh, ok, thanks scorpio. i guess i just misunterstood. btw, i haven't seen the matrix, and only saw my fair lady, because my college roomie was a music major. some of us our just sheltered. hee hee! thanks for the clarification. i thought ann was gorgeous, but just not photogenic, AT ALL.

JBean: My pleasure! Count me in as one of those sheltered people! I've seen The Matrix, but not My Fair Lady. I didn't get what Jay meant when he mentioned the movie either.

I think if Ann could find inner peace, that girl could do really well.

Sunshyne, Tyra IS getting a talk show for fall of 2005. So that is probably in her mind when she counsels them all.

As far as the modeling pictures of Tyra doing the same thing before judging goes, I just always saw that as a way to show the girls she would never ask them to do something she herself wasn't willing to do.

I think Yaya's problem isn't that she is so intelligent, its that she wears it as a badge of honor. You don't have to state how great you are all the time. If you truly are, people can figure it out for themselves.

Am I the only one with a "who cares" attitude about tonights finale?

I am shocked by the first elimination tonight! She seemed to be THE favorite all season

But I'm glad Eva is one of the final 2. I've rooted for her all season!

Doesn't Amanda have kids?

Wouldn't that make it difficult to jet off at a moments notice for shoots?
(I imagine she had made arrangements to be in this competition)


Eva won!!!!! Yay!!!

Eva won.
I thought Yaya was beautiful, but I felt that she gave off an air of being above people.

I thought Amanda's elinimation was such a slap in the face. That girl did consistently better than Yaya every time. Sure, Amanda wouldn't have won against Eva, but she should have in the final two.

What I can't understand is the judges' complaint that Amanda didn't look like a model in person. WTF? Who cares what she looks like in person! If a girl can take good pictures, walk down a catwalk and is pleasant to deal with, who cares what she looks like?

Eva might have been the best out of this bunch, but she certainly isn't going to become a household name.

You know how you hear about girls who are discovered in a mall or walking down the street? I thought that's what this show would be about--about finding really extraordinary girls that were born to be models.

That's not what I've seen. There was nothing special about Yolanda nor is there anything special about Eva.

But the one thing Adrian, Yolanda and Eva do have in common is that they were all hungry to win--moreso than all the girls.

I'm glad I read here that Eva won, now I won't have to watch the show tonight. She will definitely not make it in high fashion. That graceless spraddle-legged stance is so awful, like she's ready for a street fight.
I am so out of here.

scorpio, i think the same thing about these girls. you really don't see any of adrienne or yoanna in any pics anywhere, or hear anything about them. ('cept on message boards, lol). and it will prolly be the same with eva. out of those 3 girls though, i wanted eva to win, so i am suprised that she did. i thought yaya looked gorgeous during the last 2 panels, must've been the different hair or something, but i just couldn't get over her attitude. i was worried she might win, there for a second. all i got to say is go diva eva!

btw, i thought amanda's look tonight was the best it's been since they turned her hair white. it looked better with more body or curl i guess, to it. jmho. now, hopefully she will go back to the dark blonde/light brown that she was before.

Amanda was stunning, my personal favorite of the final three. She has more of a model's proportion and grace, and is extemely photographic and did well on all her shoots and runway work. She behaved professionally on the job. It appeared to me she had a serene and mature quality in person. She displayed no drama queen behavior the other two finalists were guilty of at times, is this what the judges mean when they claimed she did not have a big personality?.

I get sucked into this show each season, and it never fails to pick the wrong "supermodel"....that is why we never hear or see them after the show. This show does not pick winners that can truly be supermodels.

I like Eva and am happy she won. I am sure all 3 will have some type of career.

Amanda's shot was the best

OK, so did anyone else think they've seen the Eva pic in a Cover Girl AD? When I saw that pick, I knew she won, ds also thought he'd seen her in magazine his gf had! I dont know if it was just that she seemed natural for Cover girl, or if I've actually seen it before!!

I guess wiggling around like a excited puppy each time you are infront of the judges gets you a win.

Exuberant youth is FUN but seriously, Eva's personality is so Off that even Ann had it with her by the end. Ann called her out on the fact that she puts on the CUTEsy stuff ONLY infront of the judges/ and the Jays.

the judges making comments about Why Amanda would wear Glasses shocked me. What a stupid reason to cut her from the show. Why not be truthful? She was going BLIND and they didnt want a partially blind Top Model. Yaya's skin, spitting out the plum, showing up late for Milk show ALL should have got her kicked out...instead, she is rewarded by being final two. SIGH.

Oh well, I kinda enjoyed this season....EXCEPT too much mean Eva Drama in the house!!

I like Eva and I am glad she won but she has no top model future. Her Cover Girl pic was gorgeous though. She looks like a girl from a rap video- beautiful but a little too street.

I hate that cutesy, coy look she gives in front of the judges too. It is the physical equivalent to baby talk.

WOW... those cover girl shots were absolutely stunning. I take back what I said earlier about Amanda & not being attracted to what she is selling. I was sure hers had to be the best till I saw Eva's. They should all be hired because they are all much better than most of the models out there.

Sun, ITA with your comments re glasses & Amanda. That was terribly rude Besides dont glasses make her more 'accessible' or 'relatable' ??? I guess immaturity is good real but wearing glasses is bad real

YaYa's personality seemed no different to me but now Tyra deems her likeable...what a crock lol. I loved Janice's pointing out that her likeability is an OPINION. I think it is fair for them to conclude tho that Eva has a wider appeal because that seems to be the case here. Her cover girl shot totally sealed her win imo. Also they always seem to pick the girl who injects her personality into her runway walk even if she does a worse job.

Another really impressive thing about Eva was that tarantula shot. The fact that she was able to pull that off with her severe anxiety showed SO much. Whereas YaYa couldnt overcome her revulsion to the umeboeshi plum.

YY's being late was also a significant strike against her I think.

I teared up when Amanda got rejected & when Eva won. I always cry when they win

I was also appalled when Amanda was told her glasses were the wrong look . Here is a woman who is going blind and she is told to take off her glasses as it is a optional bad fashion accessory? When her eyes deteriorate to the degree when she needs a cane, I can hear Tyra exclaiming, "get rid of that pimp cane, girl!" By the way, not all eye disorders can be helped with contact lenses.
