I thought I was passed this type of thinking, but I think Mercedes was a bit too dark for some. I think it was the photographer who said that he didn't think she would be (paraphrasing) marketable all over -something like that.

We all know that women of color aren't the first picks. We're in and out of season and I think that's what happened.

Yoanna no doubt photographs well, but I think Mercedes does also and she has the personality and drive for it.

I may be wrong; I wasn't there during the entire decision making (only what they showed on television).

I think one judge had the nerved to question her health situation. What difference does that make? I'm sure all models aren't the picture of health.

I too was soooooo upset when I saw Yoanna pic on the screen. because I was routing for Mercedes the entire time; well at least after I saw that Camille wasn't the most pleasent person.
