America's Next Top Model Cycle 12

[lovespink88]

I know I'm getting really sick of Tyra. I know someone has already mentioned it in this thread, and I've heard it mentioned many other times, but all these themes are getting old. Although there were things I didn't like about the first cycle, one thing I admired was that I felt as though it was giving the contestants a look at what the modeling world is REALLY like (at least moreso than the new cycles).

And Bianca needs to go. I thought for sure it was going to be Jennifer. You can always tell who is going to be eliminated because they focus on them a lot throughout the episode.

How did Jennifer NOT go home this episode?

I don't think they'd want to be seen as eliminating someone for a mini-deformity.

I was sooooo sad to see Bambi-eyes go home. Biance makes me want to choke her. Brittany's a better model than I thought. Laura's soooo funny, I love her. Posing with a horse was straight up her alley.

Sure, but I sort of feel like if she'd gone to a casting or shoot in real with an eye thing, they'd just be like "sorry!" They wouldn't care that much if it was something she could control or not.

Also, is there a Top Model Commandment that there must be a bitchy, overly cocky bald girl in eVERY season?

and sceniczip: I have to ask, how can you tell that they're not race horses? Are they not muscular enough or something? I'm obviously not an equestrian.

Yeeess true, but casting agencies don't have to keep their ratings up.

I agree with what has already been said...
- I was bummed to see Bambi-eyes go home
- I wish Tyra would stop making the show about her crazy antics and focus on the modeling
- I wish they would cut girls that need to be cut...or just don't take them in the first place if they don't have a real chance
- Bianca needs to leave...she should have been cut when she copped the same attitude two weeks in a row

I love certain aspects of the show - the photo sessions and challenges - but Tyra herself has really become the human manifestation of nails on a chalk board. I used to like her when she was on "Fresh Prince" and in VS, but now....meh.

What has to go - "Fierce!", this season's "How DARE YOU", and the painfully contrived desire to create a catchword - "Smize".

I just DVR and fast forward through a lot of that goofy stuff now.

I haven't been watching, but is this supposed to refer to smiling with your eyes?

I agree, but I think she may be the house drama queen this season........

Yeah...the way in which she's trying to turn it into a catchphrase reminds me of the scene in "Mean Girls" when Regina tells Gretchen (who keeps saying "that's so FETCH!") "STOP TRYING TO MAKE FETCH HAPPEN".

Great line.

Great line.

"It's like slang, from England."

I actually have begun muting the sections with Tyra. I just wish she had her own mute button so I could still hear the girls.

That's EXACTLY what I thought. I almost quoted that line to the TV.

I *think* VS=Victoria's Secret but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[ree-Xi]

Yes, Victoria's Secret. Sorry!
