In the last delliberation, Tyra and Nigel specifically said "She needs to be a little less ghetto." And if you think back, you can see other examples of this, such as Sarah (season 2) simply using the words "we'll hook you up" to sell a product--afterwards they said she had done well until she went into the ghetto thing.

I think its interesting that some people have trouble understanding Danielle, because I've never had any trouble understanding her, although I might if I had never spent time in the south. This confirms my belief that the problem is dialect and not clarity.

Yeah, and season 2 Sarah using the words "we'll hook you up" to sell a product WAS ghetto. Tyra ain't lyin.

I have no problem understanding Danielle either. But I just happen to understand unclear, country azz speech...and so do you, it seems. The bolded above is why Danielle needs to work it out - it's not Down South's Next Top Model. Cover Girl commercials are national - they need a model who everyone can understand...ESPECIALLY the judges.

They're not saying that Danielle is ghetto because she has a country accent. They're saying that talking like you have a mouth full of rocks is ghetto, and when you are slurring and twanging on top of that, it's even worse. Her pics are keeping her in the game...now she needs to step up her speaking ability.

You're tryin' to make it too deep. It isn't that deep, really.
