I know a couple of the girls have done well (Eva, YaYa, Tocarra, and a few others), but none of them are at the Supermodel level that Tyra is trying to get them to attain. It's cool that's she's using her celebrity to give up-and-comers a chance, but that time has come and gone.

And yea, Renee needs to give up. It hasn't happened yet, and her fucked up attitude is going to prevent it from happening

That is true, although granted they wouldn't have gotten the success had it not been for ANTM, most of those girls you mentioned aren't successful for modeling. Yaya is more known for acting, and Tocarra as a host for some BET shows. The only ones that I have seen still modeling are Eva, Danielle and Jaslene.

I think it's kind of ironic that Tyra and the judges always say they aren't looking for commercial models, that they want high fashion runway girls....yet once the girls leave the show, the commercial stuff is all they can get (if even that).

A lot of the non-winners have done pretty well in working runway and for more high fashion magazines (especially from the first 3-4 cycles).

I am so glad that obnoxious Amber girl didn't make it after all. I was a little surprised the pretty blonde didn't go through (Ciara?). The red haired girl reminds me of Heather...she seems like she might also have a form of autism. Bianca reminds me of a cross between Nena and the other Bianca...I won't be sad to see her go (eventually).

Initial impression...I like Bambi-eyes, Crutches, Erin, and Lisa.

I'm sorry, but the different ways Tyra says "WEEEEEAAAAVE" during the makeovers are hilarious.

I like Courtney, Lisa, Erin, and Rachel.
