- I am soooo disappointed in Tyra. Tiffany was almost a text-book psychology case in terms of how she was dealing with this situation and trying to protect herself. It was clear that she was expecting to fail coming into this, and her way of guarding her self-esteem/ego was to act like she didn't care and put in the minimum amount of effort. That way if she did fail, then it wouldn't be like she tried her very hardest and still wasn't good enough. At the end she was totally playing it off like this competition (winning/losing) didn't matter to her. I don't think that she could really let herself or others admit that she really really wanted to win (and could have), but didn't make the cut. This is why she kept talking about how different she was and how she just wasn't meant to be a model (or have the personality/persona of a model). Tyra's reaction was waaayyyy over the top.

- That being said: Tiffany needed to go. Her lack of effort (for whatever reasons) was not acceptable. its not fair to the other girls to let someone who isn't working hard stay b/c you feel bad for them or think that they have potential. Also, if they are eliminating people based on "looking" like a model away from the photo shoots, then she definitely needed to go. The weave was a constant wreck as were her clothes and face (lotion, an eyebrow brush, lipstick, and a little bit of mascara are your friends)

- Finally I need for all of the girls to learn how to read. Some of the words that they were tripping over were basic. Even if you don't know the word magenta you should know that it is not magnetic, magic or whatever else was said. Tiffany couldn't even read the sentence "Hello, this is Tiffany with ANTM-TV." We're talking alphabet soup here people. Unless you're dyslexic, there is no excuse.

Ending my tirade,
