Jan | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 07:54 am     Just found this info at the UPN official site under episodes. For the next episode it says: Next Week on AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL * Elyse is outraged when she learns that the others are making what she insists are false assumptions about her private behavior. Will the others believe her or continue to talk behind her back? * At a revealing encounter, Kesse opens up about difficult circumstances at home that have made her want to win even more. * Two girls get the thrill of a lifetime when loved ones show up in the middle of a shoot, leading to a steamy make-out session between one girl and her ecstatic boyfriend! Who will the lucky girl be? * In a tense judging session, several girls explain to the panel why certain other girls should be eliminated. |

Fluff | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 08:20 am     Are they going to do this while they're all in the same room? *biting nails* |
Meli456 | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:07 am     I love this show too! I thought it was funny a couple episodes back when all the girls were saying Elyse was too skinny... Hello?!?! Modeling competition, duh. I think they are probably jealous hearing comments like "Elyse is rail thin" and "Elyse is fabulous! She's like a hanger!" LOL I think its funny that the other girls are always eating bad foods, like Ebony's cheesecake last night. I kept thinking, why are you guys eating that stuff?? But, I love the drama. |
Meli456 | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:14 am     Thanks for the link, Jan. What I want to know is... If Robin is a single daycare assistant, how could she afford those boots??? |
Jan | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:38 am     I got the impression from one of the episodes that Robin is a rich southern belle. I doubt she needs to work. IT was the episode when they were being shown how to shop and Robin bought a $700 pair of boots while the other girls all stared in shock!!! |
Fluff | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:40 am     Her mom owns the daycare. She lives in quite a wealthy household and her mom wants the best for her daughters, I am told by a member of the hairboard I hang out at, who knows Robin and her sister personally. |
Meli456 | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:43 am     GAG!!! Robin makes me feel like I abuse my feet... I get the mom wanting the best for her daughters, but Robin comes across as really selfish in wanting the best for herself. |
Not1worry | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 10:50 am     Both Robin and Shannon were slightly rude and ridiculous last night. Okay, so they weren't thrilled that Ebony's girlfriend was there. Did they have to hide out in the room, like the sin was going to stick to them? What could be more Christian than warmly greeting her and then politely retiring to their rooms. That stuff bugs me. I thought Kesse looked better than ever last night. At one point she looked exactly like a light brown Reese Witherspoon. There's no one big thing that I dislike about Robin. Sometimes she'll start being likeable, then the next moment she'll get sour-faced again. All in all, I'm not wanting her to win. Right now a Elyse-Adrienne finish would be fine with me. All of Adrienne's cleaning last night just speaks of good character, LOL. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 11:49 am     Fluff: Can you tell us, from what you have heard about Robin, is she being "portrayed" on the show well? Is this who she really is or are the producers making her look more cranky and unreasonable than she really is? |
Fluff | Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 11:50 am     Oh, she is being portrayed as herself alright!  |
Calico | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 12:46 am     I love Elyse. that's all I have to say. I hope she wins. |
Pamy | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 06:47 am     I kept wondering why Ebony was putting grease all over her skin, since Tyra told her that the texture of her skin was not good, she should have been scrubbing the excess oil OFF her skin, especially her face. Then it dawned on, Tyra told her that her skin should look like butter, so I bet she took it to mean greasy like butter! LOL |
Fluff | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 06:50 am     LOL! I felt so bad for her, but it was rather funny. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 06:57 am     i saw this show for the first time this week. ebony was my fav, love the drama queen thang. sorry she's gone. don't like giselle(sp) or elyse(sp) or the holier than though folks, i thought it was very rude to not even speak, damn how much can it cost you to be polite and say hi. i like adrianne. and i think the one girl has a bad weave. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 06:58 am     oh and i can't stand kimora lee and that other girl judge. |
Not1worry | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:59 am     Did anyone notice how bad the editing was this episode? Several times they had Ebony in a "confessional" before they had haircuts last episode. It was so obvious. It wasn't anything important, just things like her saying they had Tyra-mail. I think Robin is getting unfairly bashed for having pageant experience. Attitude aside, I think she's done well in the modeling. To my untrained eye, I don't notice anything about her that screams Miss Beauty Queen. Janice the judge needs to recognize manners. There's nothing wrong with using "Ma'am". Take a look at your birth certificate lady, you are old and you can't change that. |
Fluff | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:00 am     LOL! I, too, didn't understand why Janice thought that was a reason why she should be ousted. I don't think Janice likes Robin, mainly because she is plus sized (which I personally wouldn't consider her that at all), because if you remember from the very first episode, she said that she didn't think the next top model should be a plus sized woman (referring to Robin). |
Faerygdds | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:07 am     You guys have to understand the HUGE rivalry between pagent queens and models. Models consider Pagent queens to be "wannabe but can't" models. And they are loathed when they try to break into the biz. Make of note of that Moms: If your daughters want to be models, do NOT NOT NOT let them do pagents. They will never get a gig... sad and unfair, but true. On the Ma'am issue.. it REMINDS them that she is in pagents because in pagents (to my understanding) it is supposed to be very important to be ultra polite and respectful in order to garner favor from the judges. Also.. I think it reminds Janice that she is aging... and that just sucks. So they don't find it repectful, but irritating and berating. Personally.. I don't like Robin for a whole host of other reasons... but I can at least understand where the judges are coming from. Robin being in pagents, to me, tells me that she CAN NOT win... the bias against her is just too big. |
Faerygdds | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:11 am     Fluff, in the modeling world... size 0-4 is the norm... size 6 is ok, 8 is really on the border... over a size 10 and you are considered "plus". The average size of a plus sized model is 12-14... Which may be the norm for "regular people", but is "plus" for a model. One of the biggest plus models today is Steven Tyler's daughter whose first name I can't remember (not Liv, but the other one)... she is HUGE right now in the industry. She wears a 14-16 "depending" -- she giggles in interviews. I like her... she's very REAL! |
Avrey258 | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:30 am     I guess at a size 10 I am right on the cusp of plus size. LOL! Not that I have always been this size. I've been a 14 but never below an 8. My God, I like to eat. This body will never see a size 1! I would like to add something about small sizes though. My friend was helping her mom clean out the garage. She found a box of jeans from when she was in high school. The jeans were size 7. She brought them home and gave them to her 13 yr old daughter who wears a size 3. She said every pair was tight on her daughter. We had a discussion about how we never heard of anyone being a size 0 or 1 when we were in high school 20 yrs. ago. So, have sizes changed or were we perhaps smaller than we thought we were? I wore a size nine in high school and I don't remember feeling big at all. |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:37 am     Isn't Cindy Crawford a size 6? I never considered her just "ok". I have no idea what these numbers really mean, only that a lower number equals a smaller person. As a guy, I've never really understood why there's only one number for the entire body. Shouldn't there be a number for the top and also for the bottom? What happens if you're a size 4 on top, but a J Lo-esque size 12 on bottom? |
Faerygdds | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:38 am     OK... first of all, yes the sizes have changed since we were in High school. I was a size 4 in HS and would now be like a size 0 or 1. They had this whole thing on one of the news reports one night... they did some study and found out that (gosh, see if my memory is working) a size 12 then is really a size 8 now... I think I remember it being 2 WHOLE sizes difference. I can't remember... Beach... that happens a lot... In HS, when I danced and was my thinnest... I used to wear a size 4 jeans and pants, but I wore a size 8 in tops. What this basically means is that you have to get all your dresses altered to fit your bottom and you can never ever wear jumpers (which were popular at the time). Whew.. I hope I answered all those questions... Oh... so the depressing thing is that if you wear a 12 now... you would have worn a 16 in HS... yeah.. depressing.. I know... |
Not1worry | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:44 am     I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse. I'm still a size 8 in my mind, no matter what clothes are hanging in my closet! |
Faerygdds | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:47 am     That's the spirit Not!!!
I grew up dieting -- I was a heavy kid and a gorgeous teenager! (If I may say so myself) I'm heavier now (look at my profile pic), but totally happy and comfortable with all 175 lbs of me. The only reason I am trying to lose wieght now has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with wanting to beat diabetes. |
