I think they only picked Tiffany for drama value. If I were one of the girls who didn't get picked I would be very angry that Tiffany or Brandy got chosen over me. They aren't cute.
The one girl (I can't remember her name), she cried and hugged Tyra and said "Tyra, I'm heartbroken"...I thought she was pretty. I really like Tyra, she is so positive.

And then there was the other girl that had the hubby or ex hubby who tossed her and her daughter out onto the streets in the dead of winter. I thought she was pretty too but I honestly didn't agree with a lot of the ones that were chosen and half of them I'm still trying to figure out whyyyy :confused:

BWHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA.....

"....some of these girls look like chitlin' bucket scrapings!"

omg ...that was whoooooooooooooooooa CLASSIC...
I needed that....LMAO

I thought Mary was one of the prettiest girls there, and they sent her home. I felt so badly for her. The rest of the girls were just average. If they can take an average looking girl and make her into ANTM, why can't they take a short girl and do the same (can you tell I am bitter because I am vertically challenged?)
That girl, the one who was really excited, she was annoying--I would have sent her home on principle.
I haven't really watched the show since the second season, and I don't expect that I will be tuning in that often for this one.

I have heard a couple of people say that. I will be watching it. I am glad they picked Tiffany simply because she has grown up a lot and it showed. But, no one girl stands out over the next. It will be interesting to see what they are able to do with these girls.

WORD...so do I. I saw that and I was like :eek:

ANNOYING.AS.HELL.

I wanted to pull a Madea and tell her to SAT DOWN SOMEWHERE!!!:mad:

^^ Yes. I was like, ":rolleyes: that is un-model-like behavior". I think they are turning the show into extreme makeover. They've chosen all of these ugly ducklings so the viewing audience will be amazed at their transformations.
There was another cuter girl there, I think that they didn't choose her because she looked a little like Eva (similar complexion, curly/same color hair). I will still watch the show...just for the drama. I can't wait to see which 2 got Tyra upset.

Models do not have to be pretty. I also think that there's nothing wrong with offering a little "polishing". Gia, one of the first supermodels and Janice's contemporary, was a little rough around the edges.

I'm glad Tiffany made it this time. I'm so happy to see her growth.

As for Mary, the plus-sized model, I'm glad they sent her home now. It's more heartbreaking to see it later. Why do we think there will be a different conclusion with the same cast of characters???

Yeah Tyra even made the comment about putting her in the competition by herself (referring to no other plus size models) She really didn't take all that good pictures except the first one and she did something crazy with those eyes..I wanted her to make it too..

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.
