Yes, originally it was pubbed like it was going to be a plus sized ANTM. However, it did turn out to just be a pagent with a bunch of women who really weren't as confident as we would have thought/hoped.

I'm probably in the minority here but I like Lisa. She takes great photos. I think the problem is is that she is blunt (just like Janice). I don't think she means to be rude (by giving the other girls advice). But seriously, only Kim, Kyle and Coryn have "vocally" said anything about not liking her. Notice how none of the other girls really agreed or disagreed about not liking her. As for Coryn, the girl cannot take criticism of any kind, constructive or not. Lisa, although she should have said it a different way, was strickly pointing out exactly what Nigel had said in panel, that she is too muscular. Then when they were pointing out their flaws, she (Coryn) about had a conniption fit. She cannot handle it. Personally, I think Coryn is the bitch of the bunch.

I cannot stand Kim. I honestly don't know why they keep her. Seriously, the girl can't walk. Her pictures are not the best, by any stretch of the imagination and she's not improving.

With that being said, I'm shocked they got rid of Diane when she was improving. Go frickin' figure.

I love Janice, but I thought she stepped over the line when she was like "don't gossip". She didn't know the situation and she took Coryn's word for it, when Coryn and Lisa don't like each other in the first place. Coryn shouldn't have been eavesdropping on her (Janice) and Lisa's conversation in the first place!! She was being nosy as hell. Since Coryn doesn't like Lisa, she is going to think that everything out of her mouth is dripping with disdain, when in fact I think the other girls gossip more about their competitors than Lisa does. Again, I don't think Lisa is coming off good because she is giving advice but that is all it is, advice. The girls don't have to take it.

But, I love how the girls (including hypocrite Coryn) were talking shit about Lisa during her shoot and Janice told them they were doing it because they were jealous and insecure. Amen Janice. You can't say that Lisa is talking shit about the other girls, have Janice jump on her and then start talking shit too. Go Janice for catching them on it and saying something.

I was so excited when I saw that Janice was taking their photos. I was soooo hoping she would be on panel, just because panel has gotten so nice now. I miss the bluntness of panel that it had when Janice was on. Twiggy is just nice about everyone, she really doesn't have negatives to say and if she does she totally sugarcoats it, the same goes for the rest of panel.

What has happened to the panel talking over the girls on camera? It's so boring without it. I think they are trying to be too nice since Janice is gone. I actually cheered when she came on screen last night.

I think the episode was great! I am glad Coryn told Lisa to shut up. I think that Lisa is a complete hypocrite; she tells everyone what their flaws are and then when she heard that she looks like her eyes get crossed sometimes she completely scoffed at it. She also CRIED when Janice called her out, just like she does to all of the other girls. I think that she kind of provokes the other girls when she tells them over and over what she thinks is wrong with them. She THINKS that she is just being helpful;however, She KNOWS that the other girls do not like it, yet she persists in doing it. If you ask me Lisa getting told off by someone was inevitable. I also think that she has a drinking problem and looks old.

I think the Bree is fabulous and I am glad she did not go. I like her Kyle, Kim and Coryn. They all seem like really fun girls.

I know you like Lisa, but COME ON!!! Be objective! If you're telling someone your opinions on their appearance and they tell you they disagree and don't want to take your criticism and you KEEP HARPING ABOUT IT, you're a being a trouble maker and you're trying to get a rise out of the other person.

If I remember the episode correctly, Coryn happened to be standing near Lisa and Janice when they were talking, I don't think she walked over there to listen in on their conversation. In past seasons the judges and guests have told the girls not to bad mouth the other contestants, so I don't think it's unusual that Janice would tell Lisa to knock it off...especially since Janice seemed to like her and was probably trying to give her real advice. Seems like Lisa can dish it, but not take it.

When she was crying on camera, I couldn't help but throw out a "NYAH NYAH!!!" Loved it how she was given the face-lift shot. SHE NEEDS ONE.

It'd be one thing if it was just Coryn or a select few, but it's apparent that Lisa's "suggestions" aren't being received by the ENTIRE HOUSE.

Go home, Lisa! Take Kim with you!

But Coryn didn't need to stick her nose in to the conversation did she? No. Coryn decided to say that Lisa is talking shit about the other girls and maybe it's just me but I don't consider giving advice (albeit unwanted) "talking shit".

And as for Coryn, obviously she can't take criticism either. Her face when the comments were read to her said it all (and they only showed Lisa's comments being read to her but I'm sure they all were read). So Coryn can "dish it, but not take it" too.

Also, I don't think it is fair for any one of us to say the "whole house" is against Lisa. Off hand (without putting the tape back in and right now I'm watching Alias, commercial break) I only recall Kim, Kyle, Coryn and possibly Bre bitching about Lisa. So that leaves Nic, Nicole, Jayla and Diane who weren't bitching about her. Now, it's not to say that those women didn't have issues but it wasn't shown. I think that Coryn is the "strong" person and that when Kim, Kyle and Bre saw that she was "fighting" with Lisa that they just "jumped on the bandwagon". Obviously, those three had issues with her but they weren't going to start a fight and cause disruption in the house.

Those are my opinions.

Obviously we are going to disagree, so let's just agree to disagree

Oh Alias is back on.

Jeezus H. Christ, it's just a fucking TV show.

Question: If it's just a "fucking TV show" how come you stated:

"When she was crying on camera, I couldn't help but throw out a "NYAH NYAH!!!" Loved it how she was given the face-lift shot. SHE NEEDS ONE.

It'd be one thing if it was just Coryn or a select few, but it's apparent that Lisa's "suggestions" aren't being received by the ENTIRE HOUSE.

Go home, Lisa! Take Kim with you!"

I'm just curious why you think it is okay to jump on us for saying our opinions about "a fucking TV show" but yet you just did the same thing?

I didn't jump on anyone's opinions. I respect your opinions. (Hell, I agree with your comment on "take Kim with you") I just disagree with the comments made about Lisa. And we are allowed to disagree. No matter what the show your gonna see different "things" and interpret things different ways. Just a fact of life.

Your right it is a TV show. But this is a discussion board and we are free to discuss our opinions on it, which are going to differ.

And as long as we respect each others opinions, everything will be fine. We'll discuss the show and we'll "have fun" while doing it.

The flaw discussion day came fresh after the arguement with Lisa and it's highly likely that Coryn made a face because she knew Lisa had make the comment AGAIN. I would be annoyed, too. At this point, Coryn hasn't "dished" out anything.

At the shoot with Janice, Lisa was trying to play herself up and act like she's hot shit and better that all other other girls. Janice told her not to act that way and Lisa tried to back peddle and say she doesn't talk about other girl. No, Coryn didn't have to get in the middle of it, but it's only natural that since Lisa had been poking at her flaws for two days that Coryn would drop in a little "yeah, you do talk about other girls."

ASUADPi, you were the one who made the comment about the "whole house" having a problem with Lisa, not I. Obviously we saw that Coryn, Kyle, and Kim have problems with her...but in previous episodes Lisa also made comments about Ebony and Diane (both gone now). When half the house has a problem with a person's behavior, maybe it's time for that person to re-evaluate how they are treating others.

ASUADPi · #56 10-14-2005, 11:47 AM

I didn't make a comment about the "whole house" not liking her.

My first post about the episode, this is the only thing I mentioned about the house:

"Notice how none of the other girls really agreed or disagreed about not liking her."

And I said it strickly because they (the editors or whomever) had only focused on 3 of the girls having issues with Lisa

As for my second post, I did say "whole house":

"Also, I don't think it is fair for any one of us to say the "whole house" is against Lisa. Off hand (without putting the tape back in and right now I'm watching Alias, commercial break) I only recall Kim, Kyle, Coryn and possibly Bre bitching about Lisa. So that leaves Nic, Nicole, Jayla and Diane who weren't bitching about her. Now, it's not to say that those women didn't have issues but it wasn't shown.

Obviously, those three had issues with her but they weren't going to start a fight and cause disruption in the house."

I'm not the one who started the issue with the "whole house" not liking her, so I really don't like being the one accused of starting the issue.

This really is getting out of hand.

I'm not going to agree with you guys, your not going to agree with me, but I don't think any of us want this thread to get ugly because we have a difference of opinions.

Maybe when it comes to Lisa, she should be off limits or something. I don't know. I just know that arguing about whether or not the house in all likes her or not, is kind of stupid.

Again, the only reason I'm posting this response is because I don't like be be accused of saying something I didn't say.

If I was misunderstood, misinterpreted. I apologize.

ZTAngel · #57 10-19-2005, 09:35 PM

I missed the first 30 minutes. What went on with Nic and Jayla?

ASUADPi · #58 10-19-2005, 10:17 PM

Thoughts during the show. LOL.

I thought Kyle was so adorable with her "interview".

It seems like Coryn and Lisa just feed off of each other. Neither one of them can keep their mouths shut. If Lisa isn't saying something to instigate Coryn, it's Coryn saying something to instigate Lisa. IMPO, with those type of attitudes neither one will make it in the modeling field.

And man, Lisa is drinking waaayyyyy to much!

Can't wait to see what they have to do for their photo shoot.

eta:

Okay Lisa is drinking way to much. But I think Bre is right, she is using drinking as a crutch.

The thing with Lisa "not admitting". I think the thing they forget is that people can say up and down that someone is an alcoholic but until that person admits it themselves they aren't going to think they are. So Lisa doesn't think she has a problem, the girls do, but until Lisa realizes she does she isn't going to think she is drinking too much.

Liked their commercials. I think the pictures will turn out good. We shall see.

I don't think Jayla took the line on purpose. I think it was just because her and Nik had similiar secrets. But it seems like they are blowing it way out of proportion, impo.

Oh show is back on...

I had guessed that Lisa, Nicole, Jayla, Kim, Bre & Kyle would be selected but I wasn't sure about Nik and Coryn. I'm glad Nik is staying.

I thought they would select Lisa's photo but Nicole was my second choice.

I'm actually looking forward to get my People in the mail so I can see what her ad looks like. LOL.

Nik and Jayla were concerned because they were saying basically the same thing for their "secrets". Jayla was saying that she is afraid of the dark. Nik was going to say that she is afraid of the dark and uses a nite-lite. As Jayla was doing her commercial the first time she said she was afraid of the dark and the 2nd time she said she uses a nite-lite.

The two girls are now pissed at each other (over something really lame, impo).

AnonAlumna · #60 10-20-2005, 12:30 PM

I can't stand, Lisa! She just looks like cleaned up white trash to me. My husband calls her 'the Hillbilly'. I thought it was funny that nobody defended her when all the stuff was going on. Most of them seemed glad she was getting the verbal beating.

I really like Kyle and I liked Nik last night. I think it sucked that Jayla 'stole' her line. It totally through her off for the rest of the competition. There's just something about Nicole. She just looks really young to me. Almost like, it's illegal for her to be looking sexy in pics or something. Oh well...I really love this show! VH1 has been playing a lot of the old seasons, and it's so fun to watch it all over again! I DO miss Janice!
