We heard a lot about how good Yoanna's naked looked, but we sure didn't see it. Not even a quick distance shot or a blurred shot. I wonder if Tyra is going to have to tone these competitions way down in future shows. She's really into the naked photo shoots and now post Janet she can't show them. LOL!

Gina, ITA. The re-editing they had to do of the show last night before they could air it had to be due to the nude photo shoot moreso than the supposed "orgy" scenes. I was curious at how Yoanna could hide her tire being buck naked. She needs to share her secret!

I think she doesn't have a 'tire' as much as she has loose skin. So, if you bind the loose skin anywhere it will pouch over - but if she is buck naked - everything hangs smooth - so she looks fine. She's plenty thin, just doesn't have the best shape and posture and has loose skin around her middle and upper arms.

I would really love to see the pictures, but I can see why they are sooo paranoid now - no one wants to be bringing this sort of bad press toward them after Janet.

Didn't they say something at the end of the show about if you want to see these final shots, go to the Top Model website? I haven't looked yet, though.

After reading Catfat's post, I went to the UPN site. I couldn't find the photos. Either the link is well-hidden or I am missing it. They don't seem to be there.

They aren't there when I checked either. I think they don't put the week's shots up for a few days.

They put a lot of shots up from last night's ep - but I couldn't find the photo shoot shots either. I read that they edited down the first photo shoot's pictures after the Janet incident. Remember those were painted nudes? Before superbowl you could see the whole picture. After superbowl you could only see the model's face.

A week or two ago, they waited to put up the photo shoot shots until they'd posted the chat transcript -- which was like on Friday of that week.

I was really touched the way Tyra talked to Shandi last nite. She really does seem to care about these girls!!

I agree with those who think that Mercedes will be the next to go. She's such a sweet heart I will be sad to see her go but I really do believe it'll be between Yoanna and Shandi.

I think overall Shandi will win. I think Shandi is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to thin. I find her body unappealing but I think she will win as that's what most designers want in a model as then they look good in anything they put on them.

Just my 2 cents. :-)

P.S. I just watched it this morning (taped) while I blow-dryed my hair. lol

The pic they have that the take off the girls pic each week, aren't Shandi and Yoanna in the middle?? I think they are final 2...I really want Mercedes to win...but even if she doesnt I am sure she will make a ton of money, she is sooo cute and bubbly, she just makes you smile

Shandi seemed to perk up a bit after her boyfriend called back and tried to encourage her to put her mind on the competition and to keep trying as best she can. He also said he is mad at her, but they can work it out.
Sounds like a really decent guy to me. At least he didn't say something to cause Shandi to implode or quit or worse.
I'm still thinking Mercedes will be the next to go.
Some of you who are in modelling, what did you think of the way April was talking to Mercedes, getting her to try different things during the shoot? Would most photographers become angry about that? Was that enough to throw her off the island? I still think the judges' criticism was unfairly thought out. April has that kind of face that doesn't show a lot of smiley emotion (compare to Mercedes) and she has that unsmiling, pouty glamour almost all the pros have when they are prancing down the runway. Tyra kept telling them to be a model, act like a model, etc., but when April gave it her best, she was criticized for trying to be what a model should be. Huh? Am I missing something here?

i haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but i thought my fellow top model fans would appreciate this. ms. tyra will be the singing guest star on american dreams tomorrow night.

i also think mercedes will be the next to go. seems like they gripe about her being too mainstream every week. i don't know what that means, or what she is supposed to do about it, but they gripe every time!

i like shandi. i like that she took responsibility for her mistake. i felt bad for her, just seeing her freak and break down like that. i think that is a pretty HUGE mistake to make, but, like i said, she didn't try to blame anyone else. she knew she was the one responsible.

i think shandi will win. they gripe about yoanna and her "fat back", too. (man, i wish i was that "fat"). i am ok with either her or yoanna winning, but i really see it being shandi. it is cool that tyra can see that she inspires young girls who think they are ugly. i think she must really be a pretty decent person. gotta give her props for that.

See if this works as I posted this last night and it seems to be off in cyberland somewhere . . .

At upn's site for ANTM . . . http://www.upn.com/shows/top_model2/
they have a video with a preview for the finale. Half of the shots look like they were from Milan. They have also posted the following teasers:

The intense pressure overwhelms one of the competitors, who takes a razor to her hair moments before a photo shoot.

The heel of one model's shoe breaks at a critical moment.

A final fashion show determines who is AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.

The blonde guy (make-up/stylist?) mades the comment "Yoanna might be breaking down inside". You see a quick shot of the three doing photo shoots with Yoanna wearing what looks like a motorcycle helmet. Could it be to cover her hair?

It is Yoanna who cuts her own hair..they have shown previews of it here. They say she cut a "big hole" but, when they showed it, it did not look that bad to me. It is the bottom edge of the back. Instead of going straight across it jags up in the middle. Heck, shouldn't be that hard to fix or coverup, should it????

Thinking that it's probably between Shandi and Yoanna, and knowing how previews try to mess with our minds, the statement in the preview that Yoanna is breaking down inside leads me to believe that she'll be the winner.

Yoanna's hair was all ready short, wow! she must be losing her mind.

I think Shandi will win, agree with Purple that Yoanna will be final 2.

I hope Mercedes goes far in life, I just adore her

Mercedes is very cute and I also see her doing lots of commercials and ads for family products. For high fashion, though, she somehow doesn't 'fit'. Her legs are too short and not lanky; her cheeks are chubby and not sunken. She looks just like a lot of us, and is not glamourous and elegant enough.
I wonder if maybe they let her stay in this long because she is ill and they wanted to give her as much TV time as they could.
I think Yoanna and Shandy could do well, and I thought April was more the type for high fashion than Mercedes. I'm not trying to knock Mercedes, I think she is gorgeous, but not for this.

I hope someone will be spoiling tonight. I am between ANTM and AI so I know I will be missing stuff. It seems both shows go to commercial at the same time.

First up is the finale of Dream House and then onto this finale.

Roteach, I'll try but usually can't get back on the computer until the next day. Dear son overtakes the internet after 9:00. Is stating the winner enough?

SIGH.....I hope it isnt Yoanna. She has a lovely face and THAT is IT! Weird wide barrelchested body with no breasts....over-muscular arms and legs for a mainstream model...and WORSE of all, the sagging skin on the torso caused by loosing weight too quickly (my guess is bulimia from opaque look of her teeth) If Yoanna walked into any modelling agency she would NOT even get a second look with these physical problems....I was really surprised she was even put on this season of Top Model.

Her personality sux compared to Shandi and Mercedes. The way Yoanna bad-mouthed Carmen(?) til she was gone (then turned on April) showed a very insecure and meanspirited personality.

I hope this final is between Shandi and Mercedes, with Mercedes winning. (she seems more 'balanced' then Shandi) :-)
