America's Next Top Model-Cycle 8

I thought tonight's CG commercial challenge was pure crap.

WHY in the hell would you want these girls to imitate an Australian accent while selling your product? Speaking as someone who comes from a place where locals have their own distinct accent and dialect, I can't help but get irritated when a visitor tries to too hard to be like us.

Like, if it doesn't come naturally...don't do it, you know? It just makes you look stupid -- and you don't want that when you're trying to sell your CG makeup!

I can only imagine what the Aussies think of this challenge. I'd imagine there would be a lot of rolling of the eyes.

Seeing the Top 6 in Australia finally convinced me that all these contestants are just rubbish and part of me hopes that Tyra decides not to name a Top Model this season when it comes down to the Final 2.

I didn't like the way the girls were styled in the commercial. Their faces were beautiful, but the colors they were wearing were just "blah."

I also didn't think the idea of immitating the accent was a good one. None of the girls did too well with it. It's VERY hard to immitate accents that you're not born with. It was probably harder for girls like Jaslene & Natasha who already HAVE strong accents of their own.

I'm glad that Jael is finally gone, she was so annoying.

While the girls aren't as striking this year, their personalities are certainly more entertaining. It's almost like they are all characters.

I still love Jaslene...and she does kind of look like J.Dick! And, as big of a bitch as Renee has been, unless she really screws up, she may win. I don't like Natasha, there's just something not right about her.

I agree that Renee might actually end up winning this thing.

Dionne/Brown is annoying.

I'm glad Jael's gone. She was just much too abrasive for me, and I like big personalities.

I hate knowing who wins still though. I'd be really surprised if what I read was wrong...

She was grating on my last nerve. Between her and Jaslene last night, UGH!

Next, I wouldn't mind it if Jaslene went home.

I'm so glad Jael is gone. No more incoherant ramblings! Now Jaslene needs to go. I haven't liked her since day 1. There's something very tranny about her, and she wouldn't be a good spokesperson with her thick accent. She'd need major speech lessons.

I'm glad Natasha is doing better.

[ZTABullwinkle]

Oh my! Brittany certainly made a fool of herself, didn't she? What makes it worse is that her tantrum was overheard by the "guest judge" for tonight's episode. Bye Brittany! (I knew she was a goner when she said that she did not expect to be in the bottom two...)

[KSUViolet06]

Brittany wasn't one of my faves, but I was still surprised that NONE of the designers wanted to book her.

Things have changed alot since the start of the season. I HATED Natasha at first, but now I like her alot. In tonight's pics, she looked a little like Angelina Jolie to me.

Most people don't like Jaslene. She's actually my fave.

I don't like Renae and she annoys me. I have a feeling that either she or Dionne will be next to go.

I am glad to see Brittany leave after her crying and cockiness. Her walk was absolutely hidious at the go-sees and she didn't have any personality whatsoever. I am also glad they flashed back to the "acting" week and showed the girls saying she didn't seem to have a problem with her memory that time.

I think it should be Jaslene and Renee in the top two, with Jaslene winning the title and contracts.

I'm not surprised - I can walk better than she did tonight. It was horrible. And I really liked Brittany up until tonight. I was LMBO when they showed the flashback of her reciting her lines perfectly at the acting thing 3 weeks ago (on the show - counting the "never before seen footage" stupid thing last week) and then 2 weeks ago for the commercial, it was all "boo hoo - my short term memory..." Dionne had me cracking up when she was talking about it.

I agree - and agree - and agree. I def think Dionne will go next week. I couldn't believe that they gave her 3 poses and they were still "mean" looks. She needs some time with the mirror & learning how to be sexy vs dominatrix! I loved that Tyra said she's gone back to the mall with the side sweep

My order/guess for the last episodes:

Dionne - 4th
Renee - 3rd
Jaslene - 2nd (which will crush her!)
Natasha - winner

Natasha isn't doing anything for me. I only really catch the show every other week, and I can't remember what she looks like half the time. I think the top two will be Renee and Jaslene. I like them both, but OTW's right,Jaslene does look like a skinny trannie.
