What is the weight issue with Elyse? I know she's very skinny and I know the other girls were pissed last week because she ate oatmeal while they scarfed down pizza, but did I miss something else?

According to the girls and what is shown, she NEVER eats like a regular person. She eats like candy or oatmeal or like an apple but never food FOOD.

* BUMP *

The show conflicted with Last Comic Standing, so I had to tape it...[in my best SNL voice] Talk amoungst yourselves!

I'll check back and comment after I've watched it.

Can't stand Elyse or Janice at this moment! See the DST board for more.

I feel bad for Elyse. I hate how all of the judges and other contestants spoke about her as an anorexic. It's not proven, everyone who KNOWS Elyse has strongly denied it and I see how it must be so frustrating to Elyse. For once I agreed with Janice- it is JUST hearsay, not a proven fact. It was killing me when Kimora kept calling her an anorexic or whatever. So NOT fair. I won't believe she has an eating disorder until it's proven- and neither should anyone else.

Elyse is by far the most "ready" to become a model. No one has anything but praise for her- her interview was the best, she worked the hardest at swimming, she had the best Reebok shoot, she just knows how to do it right. I'm rooting for her.

I like Adrianne, but I CANNOT stand listening to her speak! I agree 100% with the judges on that- it's distracting and annoying!

Robin needs to go, but I applauded Tyra for telling Janice off. Janice was WAY out of line calling Robin "huge" and "gross" and whatever other offensive adjectives she used. Go Tyra!

I like Kesse... she's harmless. Like Elyse said, she hasn't done anything to piss me off.

I like Shannon, too. But I do think her strong beliefs are going to interfere with her modeling career and things she'll see in the business.

I'm hoping it comes down to Adrianne and Elyse.

Like usual I'm cheering on Elyse. Every week she shows that she deserves to be there. I liked her whole carriage interview and how she talked smack about the other girls. They deserved it after trying to bring her out of the eating disorder closet. Maybe she's just is naturally skinny. It was wrong of Kimora to label her as anorexic too. She doesn't know that for a fact. Janice shouldn't have called Robin fat/gross either. But, I can't stand Robin and her sanctimonious attiude. She's not perfect and she needs to stop acting as if she is. But I have to admit that she cracked me up when she screamed "He was lustin'!!" (talking about the football player from the photo shoot). Could she be more southern? And how many little animals had to die to make her huge fur coat? I still like Kesse and Adrianne. The moments with her mom were sweet. Shannon is just so bland to me. Ok, you're a virgin, I get it. Is there anyhthing else you can talk about? It was time for Giselle to go. She was getting on my nerves too.

By the way, Tyra was on E! News Live today and she said there would probably be an America's Next Top Model 2, since this one is doing so well in the ratings.

Elyse is going into medicine...as she has said, she probably knows more about eating disorders than anyone else on the show. LEAVE HER ALONE!

Just because she knows doesn't mean she can't be in denial. Knowing more about the disorders might help her mask her own even more.

LeslieAGD · #40 06-18-2003, 11:48 AM

I just think it's ridiculous. Even her bf said she didn't have a disorder.
I think if there were another petite girl in the house, no one would be crying "eating disorder!"

Gina1201 · #41 06-18-2003, 12:03 PM

I'm not saying that Elyse definitely has a problem because a DOCTOR would be the best person to judge that. IMO, there is something wrong. Have you seen what she eats? Almost NOTHING!!! The girl in 5'10' and weighs 115! That seems a little odd to me. Just because her boyfriend sees her eat does not mean something's not wrong. I'd be surprised if she even got her monthly cycle since she has ZERO body fat. And yes, if there was another girl on the show who looked like Elyse I would say the EXACT same thing.

a) Have you heard of creative editing? You only see her eat what the producers and editors want you to see her eat.
b) If you were in a modeling competition and you were on television, would you be stuffing your face? I think not.

From someone who graduated with a B.S. in Family and Child studies and has studied about eating disorders, I believe that Ellyse's eating behaviors suggest that she may have a problem. I'm not saying that she definitely has aneroxia or bullimia but she does show signs of maladaptive behavior that would make one think that she has a eating disorder. Her eating habits are wierd. One minute she's eating oatmeal and a blow pop and the next minute she's scarffing down pasta. Her reasoning for doing these things are because she feels that she has something to prove. If she didn't have some sort of a problem there would be no reason for her to try and prove anything to the other ladies or Tyra. Obviously she feels that her secret is exposed and she has to try and cover up the skeletons(no pun intened) that have come out.

Just because her boyfriend doesn't know, doesn't mean that she doesn't have a problem. Many women hide these things from their families and their loved ones for years.

Bottom line Ellyse has a problem. It may not be diagnosed as aneroxia or bullimia but she has an eating problem none the less. Her eating habits are maladaptive and simply unhealthy.

Leslie:

Creative editing doesn't mean anything when you have a whole house of women saying that the girl doesn't eat.

Your statement about being in a modeling competition poses a problem for me. Why should you care what people think about your eating habits? You should eat what you want to eat when you want to eat it. That's the problem, women are so self-absorbed with the way the look that they would forgo their health so that they don't look like a pig on television. Who cares?

I love Elyse an I agree that she seems to be the most "ready" to go into modeling. She just looks so natural in everything she does. I personally am of the midset that until they prove that there is something wrong, I am not going to label her. I think that she has so many other things going for her that she doesn't have to win this competition to be successful. So why would she starve herself just to win? That doesn't make sense.
Although I don't like Robin and wish she would go away, I am proud that Tyra stood up to that judge who dismissed her. But at the same time, this is the search for the next top model, not the next plus sized top model (don't get my wrong, I don't think that size 12 is plus sized, that's just stupid!). I don't like Robin because of her negative attiude, her belittling nature, and just because she's older than a lot of them, that doesn't make her any more knowledgable in life. In the end, I think that her size and belief's will conflict with the premise of the contest.

a) YES, I have heard of creative editing! However, it is also editing that EVERY OTHER GIRL in the house seems to think she also has a problem, including her roommates?

b) No I would not stuff my face but I would eat like a normal person.
