That's a really good point. They want a girl who can be a runway model and a catalog model and a high fashion model and an actress and a Cover Girl spokesmodel. That's a whole lotta people to be. I understand that Tyra wants 'her' models to be ready for any situation, but who can learn to be that many people in 13 weeks?

Top Two: Chantal and Saleisha, hands down. Honestly, both will get gigs galore so neither should really be worried about a 'title'.

My pick....Saleisha - she reminds me of one of my Neos/Specs. I can't help but to cheer her on, since I silently feel like I'm cheering on one of my babies!

Which is so true, not all models can actually act and not all catalog can actually do high fashion. It should more be what does the company (whether it be Elite or any other modeling agencies) WANT since they are the ones who are signing the girl. Which makes you wonder, why isn't the modeling company brought in much sooner than when its down to four to six girls who are going on go sees.

Ugh, Bianca and Jenah are sooooooooo annoying!

I gotta agree on Jaslene, I could see if she came from elsewhere, but isn't she from Chicago? I HATE listening to her talk. She shouldn't be in commercial ads unless they involve a photo and only a photo. She is a good model though. As for the girl with Asperger's ( I think that's what she has), she's not good. She's just not good.

Remember that girl who had been in the plane crash with two dead parents and had a short term memory loss? Eventually that got old. She started to stink like unrefrigerated fish and after awhile her excuses didn't work because she didn't forget things ALL the time, just when it was convenient to.

This other girl, I feel they keep saying she's weird because of her Asperger's but I don't see it THAT much. But she's not good. She needs to go. All of the disability in the world can't make you qualify for something you don't have the capability to do. If you can't then you can't.

I honestly couldn't care who wins anymore. Heather was my last favorite, they booted the others. I think it's absolutely retarded that they keep a girl who is a cocky and sarcastic bitch over someone who just didn't make it to a few go see's. But then again I've never understood their (the judges) decisions in the first place.

I basically just stop watching if I don't like the girls who are left, it's not like I can't find out who was booted via the internet.

^^^Lol, I guess you can stop watching now. I missed the episode, but Wiki caught me up.

Can we do a Survivor-style switcheroo? I wanna kick off Bianca and bring Lisa back to take her place.

I guess I'm standing alone on the "I kinda like Bianca island", huh?

*ducks to avoid all the backlash*

She entertains me...makes me crack up while watching the show. Sometimes I want to fight her, sometimes I just laugh.

I am relieved they sent Heather home. She's gained massive notoriety from this though. I predict we'll see her being the spokesperson for something charitable soon, some sort of organization for asberger's or something... and being a motivational 'speaker'. *shrugs*

to Chantal, you talk about Saleisha 'kissing butt' and then what do you do??

I would love for Nigel Barker to kiss my hand. He's so dreamy. Haha

I think Bianca brings some comic relief in that I sometimes have to laugh to keep the rage at bay. The girl acts like she's God's gift to modeling. I would never have expected her to say she didn't deserve to be sent home for not completing the challenge and still don't understand was she wasn't. That wasn't tolerated for anyone else in any of the 7 cycles that I have watched. She is NOT the exception to the rule and needs an attitude ajustment. Then, maybe just maybe, I'd like her.

And I think Heather would make a wonderful spokesperson...if she could speak in front of people. I hope she gets that together. She definitely has the potential to do something powerful.

I agree w/ this whole post...I like Bianca too, I think she has the strongest look.

and yes I pumped my hand in the air and yelled "yes!!' (and scared the cat) when Heather got the boot. LOL. I agree that she'll probably get some sort of spokesperson position related to her Asperger's.

ETA they have links at the bottom of her Wikipedia page to the previous seasons' winners and first runner ups. I don't know why I find it amusing that Melrose's full name is Melrose Bickerstaff.

You should have seen all the things Wiki users kept changing her last name to while the season was on. Haters. *pours a glass of wine on the carpet for Melissa Rose Bickerstaff*

ETA: Am I the only one who wonders what made Rodney Jerkins (on Wiki) insist Tyra really can sing?

[whiteandblack]

although both heather and jenah's pictures were great, heather didn't stand a chance to win. heather needs a LOT of work. like J said she needs a TopModel ass-whuppin', starting with that walk....

Heather was my last favorite in the competition. Still, I'm kind of thankful they gave her the boot because it just got too painful to watch.

I still don't like Saleisha. I blame it on her damn hair. See, when we were kids, a lot of parents decided that it was cool for their kids to have hair like that. Us kids, however, hated it. It really did look like they took a china bowl, put it on our heads, and then cut whatever hair wasn't being covered by the china bowl.

I don't know if it's in honor of their time in China, but I don't know what Tyra was smoking when she thought up the idea for Saleisha's makeover. It just doesn't work.
