Really? I can't stand her, I want her to go home so bad. I don't have a favorite, just a least favorite.

Initially I liked Erin a lot. I thought she had what it takes. She's seemed to fizzle out on her photo sessions though. I can't even remember the last photo of her that was good. They're also focusing on her catty personality which doesn't help.

My favorite along with Erin was, and still is, Nicole. If it were based on personality I'd want Laura to win. But it's not.

I agree with all of this...but I'm still convinced that Jennifer will win. Erin is really pretty terrible, Nicole looks too much like the other Nicole that won, and Laura is too cute and country. Jennifer can be Tyra's little PSA for whatever it was that's wrong with her wonky eye - plus, they've never had an Asian winner so that's a double PR move.

I wonder why the double elimination next week so close to the finals?? Just because they've never done it (announced, anyway)?? More $$ saving?? Bored with the petite thing??

I think it will go down this way: next eliminated is Erin and Laura. Jen and Nicole will be the top two, and Nicole will win. I think Jen takes some nice photos, but she isn't consistent. Remember that at the final two, they look at the entire body of work, and Nicole has had numerous #1 shots, and never went below the halfway line. She has continued to improve.

I think that Jen is more commercial, which isn't saying that is something bad. Nicole is just more editorial. I loved how in the beginning, she was all shy and said that she was doing that purposely so that the girls would underestimate her. I also enjoy watching her talk through and use the lessons she learns before the photo shoots. I don't think that I've seen anyone on any of the seasons actually do that, so consistently.

Time will tell! But again, you don't have to win to get work after the show is over.

Not surprised that Sundai is gone. Also, when they showed her photo recap, she had the same face and angle in every picture.

I like Jennifer, but I'm really surprised that she's still around. In the modeling industry, she will already have a "strike" against her for being under 5'7"...I can't believe that her eye issue wouldn't be a second "strike." I know it sounds mean, but I think if she wins it will only be because there hasn't been an Asian winner yet.

I'm rooting for Nicole.

I don't see the resemblence between the 2 Nicoles. I've looked at their pix side-by-side and I don't see it. :confused:

I hope it's Laura and Nicole in the top 2. I agree with Jennifer being too inconsistent compared to the others. Erin's just gotten progressively worse. I do still want Laura to win but Nicole is more high fashion, which is what Tyra is always says she wants in a top model winner.

I thought Sundai was fun, but I wasn't sad to see her go. She was just way too short, even for a petite model.

I like all the girls in the top four, which is a first for me. Even though I think Erin is a brat, I love the way she photographs. I would be happy with any of them winning, but I especially like Nicole. I agree that Jennifer's eye thing is against her. I'm also surprised that no one's gotten after Laura for her accent yet. I think it's adorable, but I'm not sure it would fly in the high fashion world. Erin has just been consistently crummy and her personality isn't great. I think that now that Nicole's come out of her weirdo phase she has no big thing holding her back.

In terms of firsts... it's cool that Jennifer's come so far as an Asian model. The usually don't do well, which I'm amazed by because Asian women can be so beautiful. I think the only one who got far was April, but she was half, and I don't think she made the top four. Also, isn't this the first time (in a long time, at least) that there hasn't been an African-American model in the top few? They started off with a pretty even split.

Not sure how I feel about two getting eliminated next week. How will they do the finale? It's always the top three, then they cut one half way through. Maybe the network just gave them fewer episodes. Remember how they eliminated that one girl on the spot at Wilhelmina? That cut an episode, too.

Loved the shoot this week. So cool.

Me neither! They look NOTHING alike, aside from both being extremely fair-skinned.

Similar build (the not petite Nicole is only 2" taller), fair skin, red hair. No, they're not mirror images of eachother - but they're similar enough for Tyra to say "We've done this before".

Actually, April was in the top four with Yoanna, Mercedes, and Shandi. Also, Sheena (who was in one of the last few seasons) made top four or five, I think. I'm really surprised that there haven't been more Asian models on the show.

lol, don't forget Gina!

I think it's so weird that there won't be a top 3... does that mean they're nixing the CG commercial or just not having a judging on it? I wonder how they're going to fill that hour.

Oops, my bad! I can't really remember very well beyond one or two seasons. I really liked April and I was bummed when she got eliminated!

Well, they did the CG commercial earlier in the season, so it might be weird to do it again... dunno.

No, they always (or at least for the past several cycles) do the mid-cycle one and then the one in the final 3 along with the pictures.
