I'm confused. I thought there was no plus model this cycle, or is this post referring to last year's cycle...I think there was a Mary who was plus-sized in Toccara's cycle.:confused:

Mary auditioned again this season. She was Tocarra's "rival" for the plus-sized model spot last season. Mary was hoping that both of them would be selected so that they could have a competition within the competiton. However, she was cut and Tocarra was kept. Mary was cut again this year because they didn't want to do the plus-sized model thing again.

In a way, I can understand because they are not on the same playing field as the other models. Tocarra was clearly at a disadvantage during some competitons because of the lack of clothing in her size. Then, with some of the comments made by the designers, Tocarra's spirit was broken. By not picking any plus-sized models, that particular model won't have to suffer through the drama.

Thank you, Soror, for clarifying.
Mary is beautiful and I think she's a bit more proportionate than Toccara. I'd like to see Toccara do some modeling in mid-end to upper-end plus (think Saks catalog), besides Ashley Stewart.

Mary was a top pick for last year. I believe that Nolan and Mr. Jay liked Mary better than Tocarra for the reason you stated. She is more proportionate and they felt she was prettier. However, she seemed to not have a personality. Tocarra came in and lit up the room. I felt sorry for Mary.

So true.

LOL. I think from the movie, that is an understatement. LOL :o

BTW, that movie "spooked" me. :o

But to me they should be distinctive. And these girls were just blah. No look, no personality stood out to me.

IMO, Cat girl was distinctive. LOL Maybe when they had done the makeover, she wouldn't look so much like a cat. I guess it was her "attitude" that allowed her not to make the cut. :confused:

I heard Tyra on 106 & Park, and she said they've been renewed for 2 more seasons of AMTM. I bet that one will be ALL plus size.

That would be interesting. If it does happen, she needs to use people like Emme and Kate Dillon as judges, not Janice Dickinson.

That would be great but for real get rid of Janice as a judge THAT SEASON. And Jayne the Blonde Headed Mongrel.:mad:

^^^
 

LOL at Jayne the Blonde Headed Mongrel

These are some UNCUTE guhls this season. It's gonna be so lackluster. I suppose the top model for this cycle will end up like the first two....

I agree that I thought that Cat looked distinctive. Maybe it's just me but I think that a number of the girls look distinctive. I think that the African-American girl with the big red afro has a distinctive looking face (when you move all of that hair out of the way). I also think that the girl from another country (the brunette) and the girl from Arizona? with the long blond hair look distinctive.

I that the fact that Cat woman does not really have a versatile number of looks is what killed her chances. The Black guy mentioned that it was only so much that they could do with her. But she definitely had a distinctive look.

How come I was crying on Top Model *and* Road to Stardom last week. Jessica had me bawling. She was on the radio today in Chicago singing the song "Why me" that she sang during the last part of Road to Stardom.

Re: No plus model this cycle?
 

Soror, there was one plus sized model (she mentioned that she was the only one). She was one of the African-American finalists (but she didn't make the second cut). When she started crying saying that she was heartbroken, I was too through. I was crying up a storm.

While I felt for the woman who got tossed out with her child, I agree with the Black guy that she shouldn't have made the cut. I think that her face was a little too slender and straight down to really be a model. But what do I know? :)

Although Cat woman had an attitude, I saw so what? Lots of models have attitude. I think that as models go, she should have made it b/c she was one of the few that had a distinctive model-like look (she looks like a cat for goodness sake!) and I could see her in a magazine.

I like the look of the girl with the red fro but I do think that Tiffany from Florida is a little plain. I agree that they may have kept her in for drama value. But I'm glad that she made it. I can't deny that I screamed when she made it. I couldn't believe it.

OKAY!!! Cause MR. Jay is not very manly. LOL!!!

My Aunt used to do some modeling years ago and she knows the infamous "Ms Jay" Alexander personally. Believe me, he is in no way shape or form trying to be "masculine". Besides I think it's obvious since he calls HIMSELF Ms. Jay. Anyway, Jay is the man! (for lack of a better term) He has taught many many models how to walk. There are not too many in the industry that have not passed through him.

Ok, I have been confused about this since Tyra was calling him Ms. Jay last week (it was my first ATM show). Why does he call himself a "Ms.?" I recognize his femininity but what is that all about? Somebody, please help a sister understand. What's the point?

Singing...
They're gonna miss you BRANDY... missing you everyday...are going home today? They're gonna miss you BRANDY...

She's sleepy? She waited too long? LAWD :o

SEND BRANDY ON HOME!!!!

Lazy, tired good for nothing so and so.

Now her wigeave looking like one of the 101 dalmatians. . . .

She working my nerves, y'all, she working my nerves.

Who's going home?
 

Oh Lawd, they took out that red mess her mother put in. So who's going home tonight?

Brandy's going home tonight. With all the whining she's getting on my nerves too!

Oh lord, chick with the platinum blonde sounds like Amanda from last season. Hope she doesn't let it go to her head!

Naima is FIERCE~ I hope she wins.

I agree

I want Brandy to STFU and go home. SHE BBBBBing and moaning all about how they were going to keep her just how she was. Then she got mad at how much they took off. Then her eyebrows. Cry me a river and then go drown.

I did not see Keenyah complaining so much as just being shocked at how that isht looked at first. Hell I would have been agitated at that isht as well.

Tyra I am still pissed that you insist on wearing that ORANGE ISHT!!!

Eva the Diva
 

Eva is such a DIVA, I think last season had more of a variety of girls. I'm not feeling this season so far and BRANDY is definately going home. She doesn't love her innerself - she thinks her boyfriend won't love her anymore w/o hair? Then again, she is young - 22.

Re: Eva the Diva
 

She need to close that gap first and then grow some hair.

I don't know who the other girl was who didn't like her hair, but WHAT was she complaining about? Her hair looked sharp!

ETA: Sarah looks familiar....like maybe from another reality tv show

The tears and sympathy
 

Why is she crying again, the one who got a drink thrown on here weave last season?

Oh yeah Brandy is going home tonightttttttttt!!!

I sure hope so!! She is not cute, her attitude is stank. . .


SHE IS LUCKY!!!!:mad:

Ohh WTH:rolleyes:

OH MAN!!! WHY didn't they send Brandy home????

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was ridiculous!

I give Brandy two more weeks.

Tyra Tyra Tyra. . . .:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Let me guess. . . Michelle is an epileptic.:( :eek:
