America's Next Top Model: Cycle 9

[Fleur de Lis]

I think it will be down to Saleisha and Chantal. Jenah is fading into the background and Bianca has an awful attitude. I personally love Heather's pictures, but I'm not sure she has the skills to work in the industry.

And I think "cover girl of the week" is done new every week, so the judges wouldn't be keeping her for that because they've already decided. However, they CAN manipulate the editing to make a winner seem more appealing and a cut girl less so.

I believe that, too. I think Heather has a long way to go before she can be social enough to handle the modeling world. However, Tyra pointed out that CariDee probably wouldn't be able to handle shooting swimsuits in the winter if she couldn't even handle cold water in a pool, but they still chose her. Tyra said Danielle would never book a job with her accent the way it was, but they still chose her. Based on the past, I don't think they'll hold Heather's definciencies against her as long as they're thinking, "Well, she can always hire a behavior therapist and an acting coach to fix that later."

But Lisa was my favorite and I'm so sad to see her go. I think she really could have won if she had just been more emotionally stable. Lisa had "Melrose" syndrome--she tried so hard to do everything right that she fell apart the second she did something less than great. The more she was criticized the weaker she got and I really believe she could have won if she just calmed herself down. I'm really going to miss Lisa.
