i've always loved this show!!! one thing that always plagues in my mind is why they bother with the plus sized models?? I mean no offense to anyone out there...but they take ONE plus size and she is always a hyper girl who looses her love quickly and gets voted off because all the clients would rather a toothpick model. Its almost like a slot that could have been filled.
sorry if i offended anyone i have no intensions...its just my opinion.
-
I wish they would do this show with guys then I might watch.

HELL YEAH to that! :hfive:

HELL YEAH to that! :hfive:
Um, could we have a vote on this? I would LOOVE to have a male model version. :wohoo:
-
yummy yumm yumm!!! thats all i've gotta say! they will be just as catty as the ladies....and not everyone will be straight!! BUT HELL YA!!! i'd watch it!! the male modeling industry is just as cut throat as the ladies and they are treated like meat also....MARK BURNETT OR WHOEVER IS OUT THERE!!!! DO IT UP!!!!!! :tup:
-
I haven't finished watching the first episode, but I am disappointed like Tyra in that Kathleen's gone already. She could have been like Furonda if only she didn't mess up badly. She's supposed to be the kooky, funny gal but well...
I'm really glad that Jaslene was the first called-out. She's my pick for the win! ;D
-
Natasha drives me BONKERS!!!!!!!Keep your mouth shut and just work with everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and renee the mom....both need to get the boot..how funny was kathleen though when she admitted that she didn't understand pro fur!!! hahaha..."well if they are already dead then I don't mind fur" I thought twiggy was going to loose it worse on her!!
I like Jael and Sarah!! I don't care what anyone says...Sarah has a great chance because she knows the industry and Jael is so edgy its about time (Since Nahiema) they have good edge!
-
CeeJay you and I sure think alike. I love Jael, and that Renee needs to go home. So does the mail order bride. I cant remember her name. I have always loved this show. I hope one of the Plus size girls stays around for awhile. It is so sad when a size 10 and 12 is known as Plus Size.
-
i know....a couple months ago i was a 10....so am i plus size at a 7??? lol
mail order is Natasha...
So last night...what can i say...
Brittnay...OMG YOU ARE SO ANNOYING Stop crying and start working it on and off the sets!!! her hair looks great...(weave...which sends her into more tears....white girl can't do weave?? not to be offensive to anyone)
Natasha...great sport with the new hair (shorter and dark!!) she looks wicked...too bad she always looks like she's squinting!!
Renee....I want to kick her in the back down a flight of stairs...I don't' care how good looking she is..her pics are not that great...and she is so rude and fake to everyone!! (Can't wait to see what makes her crack next week)
Sarah...wasn't much about her last night...the only hair change was that its darker...it suits her though...she finally nailed a photo
The girls I always forget about .... Dionne, Felicia, Diana <--plus size who almost went packing last night...her photos are lifeless and she doesn't work her curves AT ALL
Whitney...waiting for the spark to fade...understands her body...face needs work
Jaslene....i don't care for her normal or ms Latina...good pics....just annoying otherwise...needs to get over herself
Jael...I'm so rooting for her!! poor girl her good friend dies of an overdose...she sits for 8 hours having a weave put in to be taken out right away...her hair rocks!! she looks great....she has a reason to cry unlike Brittany
and finally CASSANDRA (voted out) ... think about it this way...she no longer has a wig sewed into her hair...she got a free weave...i didn't think she was that pretty!!! but great personality..its OK they have Whitney as they pastor now lol

I have become hooked on this show. MTV and VH1 have shown some previous cycles over the past few weeks. It was nice to watch a whole cycle in one day. It is amazing to see how the girls change especially after the makeover.
I really am a reality show junkie. :happy: :hearts: :jumpy:

i think we are all thats why we are on this damn forum!! lol :yess:

heh... it is supposed to show that I need more than 2 eyes to watch everything on TV. :-[ Probably need at least another full set instead of 3. ;)
-
i need more hours in the day so i can tape and watch and then sleep longer
-
Diana - Plus Size Model Voted out last night.
OK!! You either love most of these girls or hate them!
Renee....at times I want to strangle her but when she's in front of the judges or on set in front of the camera I love her (But not totally crazy which personality is she??) She takes amazing photos (now nto before)
She was pretty nasty to Whitney and Diana last night with comments like Plus Size Models will never be on the cover of Vogue. Although I partially think she has a point (not that I think its totally right) she shouldn't say that to cut down her competition..its just rude!!
This is the time in the show when the Plus Sized models start to fizzle out...
Sara is now starting to bug me with her pixie like attitude.
She shouldn't have won the challenge because Dionne and Renee picked out her outfit...those girls seemed to be so effected by the loss that they ahd a bad attitude watching Sara during the shoot (who won a view at all the shots and a chance to reshoot the shoot)
Natasha is the cutest thing and with her attitude she won over many of the girls despite the gossip about her husband twice her age. So what she was a mailorder bride she's been with the man for a couple years, have a fantastic life baby and is truly happy with him. Isn't something I would ever do but she did it. She's working her Russian butt off and its paying off!! The only thing that seems to effect her was the comments about how she doesn't wear a ring and how Whitney thinks its gross the marriage...
Anyways that was last night in a nut shell...next week looks good...the channel cut off the entire preview...looks like Jael gets tossed into the pool at a party after she was told not to stand where she was standing...bet u its a photo shoot challenge to see who gets best action shot on a one shot only!!
-
Wow, Sara is one ungrateful person. She never acknowledged (that we saw) that she had help picking her clothes. She probably won't last. I agree with the pixie comment, which probably will hurt her in the long run because it is limiting. It was a no brainer to choose the color for her. :snicker: too bad the girls didn't pick an uncomplimentary or blah color. :angel:
I just love Natasha. She is such a positive person and the judges see it too. I love Brittany and Jael, both stand out although I think Brittany has the better look.
Wasn't Jael's shoot a hoot? I was surprised that she didn't have a really good photo.
-
Jael is such a hippie already i think they expected more.
brit is strange at times...but she does GREAT pics!!
next to go next week?? whitney i think.

She barely survived this time, so I'm sure you are right.
-
its the curse of the Plus Size model...they loose their drive because they are too intimidated and self conscious of the skinnier women ....
they never last past like week 6

It is amazing that these beautiful woman are so insecure. I haven't seen enough of the seasons to realize that the plus-size models leave so soon but what you say makes sense. OTOH, those with huge egos don't seem to win either.
-
i think eva was the only one that had the ego to win...but she did breakdown eventually too!

I haven't seen this cycle yet. I hope VH1 or MTV will replay it. (Probably did already but I didn't realize it!)

i'm a junky since season 1!!!

i'm a junky since season 1!!!
I wouldn't have known about it except for Kri$$y!! LOL
I can't wait to see all the seasons. Especially since they play one right after another, all one day! :wohoo: :happy:
-
lol Tex is getting hooked!! :ya3:
-
So there are no more Plus sized models left....photo shoots this week included past Models returning
its a little crazy this year the "real" girls that are on it...
first time in ANTM history there are three Moms on the show!!! and 2 married women!!
-
Whitney lasted as long as Tocarra did. It's weird how the plus-sized girls never go past the 7th week mark. And considering there were 2 plus-sized models this time. Goodness gracious. Next cycle there is a serious need for a fierce plus-sized model.
On the subject of plus-sized models, I remember Renee saying that Whitney or any plus-sized model could never grace the cover of Vogue magazine. Well I saw a copy of one on the news stands last week, and on the cover was Jennifer Hudson. Now I know she ain't a model, but she's definitely plus-sized. So, Renee... :crazy
I fear for Jaslene. She's in the bottom three for two weeks now. I hope next week she'll do better.
-
i have been standed corrected
there are 4 moms on the show
jaslene also has kids i've been told
-
lol Tex is getting hooked!! :ya3:
I am, I am. :happy:
Jael, gone. I thought she would get further than final 6. :o
-
she sounded braindead and stonned all the time...
when its a speaking challange and you CAN'T speak then ur out
Britt was never in the bottom 2 and Jael was 2 times...so it made sense for her to go.
shocker of the night...
natasha!! english is her 2nd language and she got called first and won the challenge
Dionne...is a horrible speaker!

Gotta give you that, Jael does have a very bad way of speaking! Now, Dionne is the one I thought would be leaving. Natasha is great. She never lets anything get her down, even if they criticize her she makes it a positive.
-
the only time i saw her sad was when she didn't get to see her child.
man for having kids those girls look GREAT
-
well i was glad to see Britt go...she was getting on my nerves....loved what dionne said about the acting challenge with Pedro from Napolian dynamite...she memorized all her lines....and then the aussie commercial she forgot everything and blamed on short term memory?? she has an excuse for everything...she bothered me from the begining....and she embaressed herself at the agency when she came back late ...swearing crying screaming....she had to go...
next i hope dionne leaves!

I have to rewatch this episode, lots of interruptions here. BUT it was very telling that she didn't get a single booking from the Go-See's and really every time someone misses the 4:30 deadline. Wouldn't you think by now they would learn?
-
u'd think...but never fails...natasha took it like an adult...
how about dionne asking for all the clothes...i'm surprised it didn't come up...what a mooch!
-
i reaaally really hope natasha wins.
but she gets sick, i hope that doesn't cause her to go back home. and i thought the russians were strong people, they should give her a bottle of stoli and tell her to suckle up.
haha!
-
lol stoli....silent sam....smirnoff....belvedere....grey goose....which ever it is!! lol
I like her too....and Renee is actually growing on me!!
Jaslene I didn't like last time and I find her too cocky this time.
So i'm thinking either Natasha or Renee...
Dionee needs to go this week...I can't stand the way she talks!
-
well Natasha must have had a horseshoe last week....or she got the Renee luck when everyone was harping on her...i find it funny how they say natasha is fake when they all bad mouthed rene up until last week....
everyone in that business is two faced....glad dionne was booted she bothered me....natasha took the critisism like a champ!!!
to question her life because she's not wearing a wedding ring or showing pics of her daughter...maybe she's just more private??
anyways can't wait until next week downt o the wire!! isn't it the fnale also??
dionne was a brat when natasha tried to hug her and she wouldn't acknowledge her....
she gave a pitty hug to her when she was leaving though.
-
:yess: I knew those two would be final two.
And way to go, Jaslene. No bottom two appearance ever (of course, excluding the final). :hearts:
-
wow...Jaslene won....honestly looking at her...i don't like the way she looks without the airbrushing of the camera...her face is so boxy she looks like a man almost!!!
canadian next top model i think starts next week....
love MR Jay!!! toronto bred ....mmm mmm good =) hahha
-
I liked Renee, I thought her CG photo was gorgeous. Talk about looking old.. Jaslene with her hair back looked just as old while waiting to hear the final result. However, I liked all three so it really didn't matter which one was the ANTM.
I saw the Wikipedia article giving the results but I thought it might be a mistake. Guess not! :o
-
nope tex they were right!!! Jaslene looks not only old but like a man with her boxy head!
-

:lol3: :rotf:
I should look and see if any of them are getting modeling jobs.

let me know i'd love to find out
