Good luck to the sister.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm getting tired of these dayum shows. What's next? The next best truck driver? :confused:

The next best politician?

I know I am. I doubt I watch too much of the Model one.. . .
They could have the next best in a lot of professions **SMH** but that don't mean nothing.

:o

I am going to watch because I want to see the scene where ol girl tells them that this is not a Bible Study.

Anyone else going to watch?

CTFU!!! :D I feel you. I mean, when does the madness end!?! :mad: :confused: :o

Uhm Soror is holdin' down for the "thicka" sistahs, too. All the other contestants were 5'11" 120 lbs. she is 5'9" (which ain't THAT tall) and 160 lbs. Go on gyrl!

I'll probably watch because I know Robin. She is holding it down for the thicker sistas, but actually she has lost a lot of weight. She's very outgoing and loves the beauty pagent type life so I hope she wins.

Well
 

I'm sick of the reality show thing too, but I'm going to watch this show. I was watching the previews and I hate it when the one girl says "i really dont' want to be a model, I want to be a doctor" and I'm thinking then why are you on tv trying to be america's top model. and the other girl that says 'my best assets is my breasts" and i'm like WTH, wasn't there anything else you could've said about yourself. So this should be pretty interesting.

If she lost a lot of weight, it makes sense. The modeling industry considers sizes 10 :eek: to 20 plus sizes in a mainstream sense. Anything bigger, forget it.

I read the boards at Grace, a magazine geared to "larger" women, and some of those posters were h-o-t-t when the winner of the mag's plus-size modeling contest was a size 10.

:confused: :eek: :o

Old girl said she has never been west of Maryland. . . Maryland is the farthest state east unless you go up and down.

:confused: :confused:

Other girl is an animal activist, but has leopard and zebra print couch pillows. :confused: :rolleyes:

Soror Robin talks country as hell. Her accent -- whooooooo

Oh and she was in Miss Soybean. :o :p

I was flipping channels and stumbled on this show accident. I was hoping they didn't vote Robin off, because she seems very funny and down to earth. I like her and the rest of the crew she was with Shannon and Kesse:D

Robin had me cracking up when she was talking to the girls who were smoking.

"Mama wanna live"

Yeah...I fell out when she said that. He accent is thick as hell but I liked her. I want her to get far but I don't think she's going to get too far. Just like that chick said...The world isn't ready for the next top model to be a plus size model :( :( :( Even though when she had on that bathing suit as I was like Dang...sista look good to me!!

Me too. . . although she weighs less than me but she is also taller. She is pretty and just like AI if a modeling company wants her, she will get picked up.

Elyse -- Haaaaaaated her. That heffa needs to start super sizing her orders.

Kesse -- something about her irks me.

Sure does! When her weight flashed across the screen I was like "Oh Hell Naw". 114 lbs. What does she do sit and drink water all day? I see something VERY wrong with that.
