What was that "You go girl, you go girl, you go girl. She's IN!!" convulsion thing that Janice did when referring to Shandi? It gave me the heebie-jeebies!!

April's nostrils bug me more than Shandi's ears. Blegh.

LOL Eeyore, I thought same thing about Janice, also did you notice Tyra introduced her as ONE of the first top models, instead of the usual THE FIRST top model?

I think Sara is the sexiest there, I think she will still have a career, I couldn't beleive how hard and loud she was crying.

I was touched by what Tyra said at the end, I really believe she does love all these girls and it is hard for her to cut them when it gets down to the end

Yoanna earned some pts in my book when she went to get her pic, saw how upset Sarah was and turned and hugged her instead of getting her pic.

Mercedes is still my fav. Camille has a great bod, she looked great in the dance outfit

Judging from the video I would say Yoanna and April make it to end, they seemed to be featured more than the others

Damn! I knew Sara and Yoanna would be the last two on today's show, but I was convinced that Yoanna was leaving. They should have allowed Sara stay a little longer, not that it would matter though. I knew from the start that Sara wouldn't make it to the end. She looks a lot like Adrianne(?) from last year, and she has that generic facial look. She'll do best as a porn actress (no offense).

My prediction remains the same: Shandi's the final model of choice. She was preselected from the start. There are many reasons they could have dismissed Shandi by now, but they didn't. They are always, instead, praising her. They've, rightfully, picked on Yoanna's posture and body but ignored Shandi's terrible posture. The truth is, Shandi has the high fashion model look. The rest hardly have it. It is easy to work with and on Shandi for a perfect finishing touch.

P.S. I think April will stay longer just for the sake of it. My guess is she'll come third. However, there's just no way she'll win. She's meant to be a physical fitness model, not a glamour model. I would support her as a top fitness model.

The part I found cute about the video was when Tyra is sitting at a mirror with wild hair and each girl comes up and tries to take over the mirror only to be brushed away. That's one thing that can never be taken from them ~ appearing in that video.

Shandi is really growing on me my although I'm always stunned at how beautiful Mercedes comes across, even when just standing there informally. If they want exotic, she is it but I have a feeling she will be next to go.

I think any of the last six could make it in modeling and that's why it was so emotional tonight, even for Tyra. How DO they choose who to let go at this point?

Noooooooooooooooo way! I don't believe that so-called spoiler. If she's the winner, then Tyra's show is the rubbish I suspected it to be. No way! She may be in whatever ad because the company was interested in contracting with her, but not because she won the competition. But then again, Tyra's show could be the unrealistic show as I suspected.

I'm still surprised Yoanna wasn't the one leaving tonight. She gets jealous and vicious too often, and it gets on my last nerves because in my view she isn't even anywhere as appealing as the other girls. It's good to be competitive, but not so vicious. All Yoanna has is a pretty face, not flexible--mind you, and a punk look. Sigh....

I was very impressed with last night's episode. They (the producers) are really stepping it up a notch to create interesting shows.

It shocked me that Sara was the one to leave! She's so extraordinarily beautiful, that I thought at least she would be in the top three. What bugged me the most was a statement by one of the judges (maybe Janice), who said she would be better in an adult male magazine (or something to that effect). She must have felt mortified!

Shandi surprised me, with the way she handled the music video performance. Although she looked a little awkward, she learned the moves and performed them well. I was glad that she got to go on that date, though, which really seemed to lift her spirits.

Yoanna looked confused and out of place in last night's show. It seemed like every mistake that could have been made, was owned by her. I'm not sure she's going to move on to the end, after this. Not because she isn't good enough, but because her ego appears to be bruised. I don't know if she'll get past it.

I can't make a decision on April. She certainly has what it takes. But I'm starting to agree with what Tyra said in the end. She told April that the judges don't know if she really wants this, or if it's just the "win" she's interested in. She's done really well in the past, so I hope she regroups.

Mercedes is beautiful, graceful, and has a down-to-earth glow and warm personality. She's a winner in every sense of the word! She may just win this thing, without a lot of effort!

Camille knocked me over with her stellar performance! Beauty, a gorgeous body, direction, strength, motivation, moves, ... I'm not surprised, and thought she had it in her all along. Maybe this positive week will be all she needs to take it to the end. Her runway walk was on the money, too, for the video. I'm impressed!

What really bugged me about last night's show was that the judges were trying to "tactfully" say that Sara's sexuality came across as too vulgar and not likely to translate into the world of high fashion. Well, what did they expect to see when they put all the women in a big ole hoochie mama extravaganza like that video? I thought that was utter nonsense!! Yoanna should have gone home. I've never liked her and after seeing her making fun of April I like her even less.

Now to say something positive. I've got just two words: GO SHANDI!!!

When the models first met with that choreographer I thought that Shandi would get out on the floor and do some kind of stiff, awkward, embarrassed moves. I was dreading it. She blew me away last night. The only thing that spoiled it was that hypocritical bit with her boyfriend, otherwise I was thoroughly impressed with Shandi--hoochie mama dancing and everything.

I don't like April at all. She's too insecure for my taste, but deep down inside, I think she's vicious, or would de whatever she can to win. JMO

Last year, I liked Elise and Adrienne equally. This year, I liked all final six! Last night I was wishing they wouldn't eliminate anyone! It seems like they could all be top models. I was sad to see Sara go but I didn't want anyone else to go either. It will be really hard to pick a winner.

Tyra's song was ok - nothing wrong with it. It was a little over-produced like J. Lo's first few songs - I think she was scared to have us hear her sing too much up front. She should do some songs that feature her voice. And sorry, no one should be licking anything in music videos.

That's exactly what I mean, Sky, about comments concerning Sara. It was far beyond criticism; It was demeaning and thoughtless. WAY over-the-top, even for Janice!

Madelane, you made me laugh. You're right, though. It was a microphone, and she could've gotten electrocuted!

While Mercedes is cute and all...that's ALL she is. CUTE. I don't think she looks mature, or glamourous. More like cute and pretty. Like someone who belongs in YM magazine, as opposed to Vogue. She reminds me of the girl who was in Saved By The Bell..Lisa?

Hey did I mention April's big nostrils bug me?

Camille needs to go next. She looked like the only place she belonged was a Jay-Z video with the other strong black woman hoochie-mamas that shake it while wearing the neo-daisy-dukes.

After that, April. She's CONSTANTLY being told she's too mechanical. And her nostrils are too big. I'm tired of the affirmative action spin they've got going on with her. There are plenty of other more beautiful Asians out there if that's what you're looking for.

Shandi? While I'm sure she's cute, she never belonged in the first place. Cut her.

Mercedes, give her a runner up contract to Mademoiselle magazine.

While many of you may not like her, if you look at what most models look like, Yoanna is it. She's got strong, but not offensive or overpronounced features. Everything about her is right. She could fit into an Abercrombie ad, and then run off to a haute couture show in Paris. She's versatile and I think she'll win.

April's nostrils are huge. Keep an eye on your children!!

I like April less each week. She's too old, for one thing. She has nice photos but I don't think she's beautiful in regular life.

Sara always astonished me with her beauty, but I don't think she was polished or graceful enough. I knew this was her week to leave.

I hated to see Shandi falling apart over her boyfriend. They are both young and if she's had such an unloving family life, she's very insecure. She's stressed out and under pressure and overreacted about her best friend/one love.

Camille had a good week, but the judges are so ridiculously inconsistent. She had a good attitude, and they wondered if it was an act. So what if it's an act? She is giving you what you requested. She danced well, better than April to my eyes.

Looks like Yoanna gets confronted with her body problems next week. I felt awful for her during the dancing. That would have been me.

This is a little off-topic, but I have to mention that while I think Shandi overreacted by crying with her boyfriend, I do think it's a little absurd for him to go, alone, to the movies with a woman who was not their regular friend and who is married. He seems like a nice guy and very cool, but good judgment would dictate that he could go with one of the millions of male friends he already probably had. He runs into this girl and they make plans? What's the point? His girlfriend is out of town and he chooses to hang with a woman? I firmly believe you can just be friends with the opposite sex, and I'm sure he's not a jerk, but it's not like he was already friends with this girl. Does anyone understand what I'm saying here?

Madelane: I do understand what you're saying. Same could be said about Shandi and her not telling the guy in the club she had a boyfriend. I'm guessing she might not have mentioned it to the guy she was getting cozy with when she went to the French restaurant.

I feel bad for Shandi re: relationships. I know she's young and how relationships at her age can be dramatic and go from one extreme to the other. But judging from what she said about her family and the way they have treated her, I'm guessing this is a girl who, deep down, doesn't feel she deserves love. And, more often than not, feeling unworthy of love leads to sabotaging one relationship after another until one realizes what they are doing and why.

Let's hope Shandi can bypass all that dysfunctional crap and have a good life.

chief1I don't think Janice meant Sara would fit an adult male SEX magazine, but a men's magazine like Maxim or Stuff.

But I still hate Janice.

Shandi is really possessive, isn't she? She needs to get over that before she chases her boyfriend away. I missed the part where the boyfriend just met the woman he intended to go to the movies with. But he told Shandi about it beforehand, and she needs to learn to trust him.

I can barely look at Shandi's body--way too bony. Nice moves, though.

Eeyore, ITA, I pick Yoanna to win. Her snarking on the other girls doesn't bother me. The judges and other girls said the same thing about April being too analytical. Besides, I adored Elyse last year, and she snarked on everyone!

I think Shandi will win too. She's got that blank canvass look that can be made up to be anything. She's built like a twelve year old boy and she catches on quick.
Janice and Tyra didn't let me down for drama and camp. All Janice needs to perfect her "Patsy" is a drink to swill and spill while she's yelling about something.

Not a great episode for me. Mostly because:

* Tyra drove me crazy with the "me, me, me-ness" in this episode. The whole episode was a huge promo for her song and video. (And I don't believe she had 6 years of vocal lessons -- I think it took them 6 years to over-produce that song, so it would sound halfway decent.)

Other random thoughts:

* Shandi and her boyfriend -- grow up, BOTH of ya!

* Sara's cry at the end was so genuine...that was definitely real disappointment and sadness there.

* Yoanna is "structurally" beautiful. Can't dance, ain't too sweet, but she's got a gorgeous face.

* Can you say hypocritical? Jamming Sara because she's too "men's magazine" and "swimsuit" while the whole focus of the episode was that hoochie video??? Dumb.

I liked Sarah, sorry to see her go.

I agree that Yoanna has beautiful features and April needs to smile more.

Shandi was way over the top with her boyfriend. All he was doing was going to the movies. Then she tries to get back at him by making him jealous. I thought that was very immature.

Funny how they are not showing Mercedes feeling sick.

I can't stand Angie Dickerson. Wonder if Tyra ever asked Christy Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, or Cindy Crawford to be a judge. Either one of them would have been better. But, I guess she needed the drama. I didn't think her video was so great. She is a Beyonce wanna be. Even the song lyrics seemed like a rip off.

What happened to the "orgy scene" Tyra commented on during an interview weeks ago. She complained that the girls went wild with some guys and we would be seeing it.

I hated this episode and the whole sex-video stuff. That sex dancing that the girls had to learn was not any part of professional modelling. Tyra ought to have more class than to put out a video that has her tongueing a microphone dangling above her open mouth while humping her body up and down.

Rslover: I thought the same thing re: Tyra a Beyonce wanna be. What Tyra doesn't seem to understand (judging by the tearful speech she gave at the end of the show) is, if she had done something actually original people would be criticizing her less.

About Shandi and her boyfriend: From what I understood of the conversation, this was a girl from his past. This past girlfriend is now married and when he ran into her, he found out her husband works at the movie theater and that's why the two of them were going to go to a movie there. So my thought was that Shandi was upset at him spending time with an old girlfriend and he didn't see the harm because they were going to a movie at the theater her husband works at. So yes, both need to grow up. But I also strongly agree with Scorpio as to what could be driving Shandi. Not to mention that she is in the final five of this contest and living in the big city and that alone could cause a young girl to start seeing things differently.

Rslover ~ I too wondered when the "nasty" orgy scene was going to happen, lol.

over the weekend i watched Triple Threat with Tyra (it was on MTV 2) and she mentioned that they are reviewing on whether or not to show the orgy scene because of all the backlash that happened with Janet. so sorry don't think we'll be seeing it.

Ya know, If Janet Jackson had had a small modicum of common sense, we wouldn't have this puritanical over-reaction. Yeesh!
