America's Next Top Model Cycle 10: FIERCENESSNESS/Back to NYC [Begins February 20th]

Allison is hot as well.

(She looks a lot like Ann from Cycle 3)

yay marvita! she's very grace jones in that individual shot (and i mean that as a compliment).

Really? I mentioned how Fatima was grace jonesy on the gay thread. I'm SO happy they brought Marvita back; I was simply disgusted with Tyra & Co. after what they did last season with prodding her about her fucked up past (rape, abuse, etc), and then being all "Nope, sorry! Go home". And of course broadcasting it alllll.

I was hoping they would stop including 24y.olds in the cycles (and pretty much anyone in their twenties).

I mean, if they are trying to be more realistic about having model-models on the show

CYCLES

Fatima looks almost exactly like Iman.

Spanaway, WA

hello to Tacoma's shittiest suburb! and that's saying a lot

Waunakee, WI

The only Waunakee in the world!

i want to write this show off so badly, but i will watch anyway.
during my break i rewatched from 1 until about halfway through 8 and then gave up.

holy shit

ANTM girls are actually working.

http://community.livejournal.com/topmodel/1909471.html#cutid1

meet the cycle 10 girls here:

http://tv.yahoo.com/americas-next-top-model/show/35130

LAU-REN! LAU-REN! LAU-REN! I love a girl who's never felt the need to learn how to walk in high heels.

Fatima is such a bitch OMG.

claire is captivating!

It's Cycle 10 of America's Next Top Model, bitches. Yes, I really said 10. Our little girl is a woman now!

^^ note adjusted age of pubescence in model-years

i do like lauren

is fatima the girl from somalia? i don't mind her, she's definitely gorgeous.

which one is claire? is she the tall beautiful brunette with pale skin? whoever that is, that's definitely my fav

the one who is breast pumping.

yes, fatima is baby iman.

lauren, ehhh.

yeah the brust pumper. she's G O R G E O U S, if i'm remembering correctly. i think she's my girl.

lauren has a good face and a cute attitude. with the right makeup she could like totally amazing.

*look totally amazing.

Is that Lauren 4th from the left in the photo up top? Because if so, WAHT

yea i think that's her.

u no like?

Dominique, a 23-year-old receptionist from Columbus, OH
This girl is so gross

I think she looks AMAZING in that picture, basically completely unrecognizable compared to the girl I saw on the show.

I still can't believe they took that outrageously stupid girl from Worcester.

she does look good there. good pose

well that was anti-climatic.

the gemma ward-lookalike just randomly decided that modeling/fashion is vapid and was all I DONT WANNA BE HERE. And Tyra was all THEN LEAVE BITCH and that was that. lamez. I like the new judge tho, she's feisty (she's no Janice but what can you do...) LOL @ Miss Jay ripping that patch off.

I thought it was awesome when Kimberly left. My boyfriend and I laughed at "People think I'm dumb, but I'm actually really down to earth." But at the end of the episode, it was like, "Holy shit, she really is down to earth!" Good for her.

Yeah there are worse things in life than realizing that you don't want to prop up the rotting corpse of couture -- Tyra's never going to agree with that though. SO OFFENDED MY GOSH.

hahaha she loves to go crazy on some bitches. i have to wait for rerun to watch :-\

ok up on youtubes...

does allison remind you guys of sarah silverman?! i keep thinking there's gonna be some silly joke every time she appears.

also the jay velcro strip ripping offage is making me lol

These makeovers were horrible.

so so so bad.

lee, have you decided this season isn't even worth blogging?

I thought the photography for the first batch of makeovers was HIDEOUS but then again this is the first cycle I've watched on a highdef TV.

lolololololol @ them booting the loathesome racist

OH my god, i could not BELIEVE she was saying those things. fucking idiot.

i just tried posting this but failed, but if it posts twice don't hate: i'm all for lauren, cuz she's just the cutest (and from brooklyn), if she learns to pose a little better. tyra's imitation of her posing was hilarious!!

but omg dominique is

SO

UGLY

"cuz i'm like, high fashion"

I kind of love the fact that Dominiques makeover makes her look 50! lolololololololol so entertaining

Really all around this was A++ entertaining.

"You are the epitome of apple-bottomed" lololololololol

i just loved when the photog was like 'i thought she was someone's mom coming to pick her up'

marvita = totally awesome this season

YES to both of those observations. marvita is kind of winning me over. and the photog's mom comment CRACKED ME UP. dominique needs to model for jcpenney and get over it

Every interview shot of Dominique made me laugh.

do you think they let her in just for lols? bc honestly in the casting episode it was blatantly obvious that she had no place in "the competition".

I think the producers were big fans of My Little Pony back in the day and were having hardcore flashbacks when Dominique trotted into the room.

and yet they gave marvita the horse mane?

See, Marvita actually looks GOOD with that hairdo. Imagine it on Dominique!

omg now I wish they'd given that to Dominique, or at least woven her little topknot bun into place on top of her head

haaaa u guys are mean. i'm anxious to see how long dominique stays in. marvita reminds me of a latin-looking model someone posted late on the Models S&D thread.

also, the girl who's hair they did bleach blond with the ridiculously hilarious accent does NOT look good.

marvita doesn't really look much like omahyra except for the fact that she has a tiny bit of masculinity.

well, and i think in the shape of the face/lips a bit. but i only know that one picture of her.

I did really like Fatima's makeover, actually -- that hair looked very glamorous.

and sometimes fatima's face looks pretty unreal. geez her old orange hair was so ugly!

tehresa, real life getting in the way. >=(

Guys, I can't believe you called Dominique a horse before you called her Chigurh.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v81/plechazunga/tybe/antm/c10/03-dom-chigurh1.jpg

Actually we should have called her a COUGAR

took the words right out of my mouth!

still lolling @ her Mom Jeans

her skin makes me wonder why they ever had a problem with yaya's complexion.

I'm really liking this cycle so far. The pictures/photoshoots are great, a lot more realistic and not photoshopped to death like they were in previous cycles.

sooo...

dominique did a bit better, hair color helped a lot.

i LOVED whitney's picture, and find her rather gorgeous in general. i also loved claire's pic, and find her gorgeous in general as well. and i just love lauren. can't wait to see how she does at the brooklyn post challenge next week. needs to learn to walk tho.

sad to see amis go :(

amis, repping my home state, rip

whitney looks like a lost judd sister

amis was annoying and she took awful pictures so I'm glad she's gone.

Srsly, Fatima is something special in this whirlwind of turbobitches.

Fave models: Claire, Lauren, Marvita, Katarporno

faves: Fatima (her face is perfect really), Katarzyna, Aimee, Lauren, Marvita, Claire.

this cycle is really really good so gar.

yea i like it a lot too

marvita, lauren, claire, katarzyna.

seriously, could someone teach them to say katarzyna's name correctly? it's so obnoxious to hear 30 different versions of it per episode.

def. it's really a fun name to say.

Whitney looks like she could easily be a smaller Lane Bryant model.

Lauren + Claire all the way.

Marvita has like baby teeth.

Something amiss (lol) when Dominique, "Amis," and scrunchy blond Barbie all got picked as finalists over FLYYY Jenna. Still loving this cycle though, even despite the meat challenge wtf.

lauren's physique is always surprisingly beautiful

whitney's a little too trying to be sexy, and marvita just blew it.

i liked claire's picture a LOT, but i think lauren won me over this episode, on both the challenge (!!) and the photo.

I had an involuntary laughing fit at Marvita's picture.

me too it was like a black velevet painting of a sad puppy

omg awful

The sad thing is that it doesn't look nearly as bad on the CW website; in fact, it looks very sad and vulnerable and soft and awesome.

yeah when they flashed it at the end going through her portfolio i kinda liked it.

sad. i liked marvita lots.

lauren totally rocking now.

also lol @ dominique's 'they were all draggy and i was like 'i fit in here' '

yea totes, that was funny -- but perhaps not as funny as marvita's picture, which even though it might have had a lost benetton puppy look, still completely put me off. she looked like me after i lose 2 straights set of tennis: DONE.

how excited are you guys for "the house to come down on dominique"

she's a shady bitch!

I miss her topknot.

i lol-ed at whitney pulling out the old "my best friend is black" defense, but i didn't understand why she was being called racist in the first place.

why did they yell at katarzyna for her hair not being pulled back as tight as anya's when she is struggling with putting bangs into a do for people without bangs? jerks.

i think she told dominique she was stupid and dominique turned it into 'you racialist'. this season is so full of weird sort-of racial tension.

she imitated dominique's annoying-ass accent and dominique flipped, and yes i am very excited for the house to come down on dominique b.c she's a SHADY BITCH ;P

dude fatima is also totally shady. how come no one hates on her?

well, but i did get whitney's annoyance at the comment. i grew up in the south, and my stepdad was black. and if someone called me racist i'd be pisssssed. i DO think that's really offensive, cuz you're attacking someone's character/judgment.

yeah fatima ("your butt is bigger than mine"...) she needs to be more relatable. right now she's just pretty.

I think everyone is basically 100% in agreement on Fatima being directly from Hell, so there's no real controversy in showing beef between her and others. Dominique and Whitney are just strong personalities that clash; Fatima will put her pussy in your face to win a competition.

or her armpit.

...and (important addendum) not brag about it or act like it's anything remarkable. She's all, "This is what you do, I don't understand why they're getting upset. *alien shrug*"

eww the way she was like stepping on the other girl in the challenge? obnoxious

i also find fatima to be a complete kiss-ass, which irks me.

Fatima is perfect.

okay she's GORGEOUS but she's annoying! she obv thinks she's steps above any of the other girls.

O
M
G
can we talk about her walk?

how awful was her walk???

walks can improve.

ugly cow tranny faces (Whitney, Dom,etc.) can't.

Dom photographs really well though.

Whitney is just disgusting to look at. Maybe it's the hair.

You're missing the point, which is that her disdain for the other girls borders on sociopathy and is hilariously awesome to watch. When she smacked Marvita in the face and was all, "Oh, were you there? I didn't even notice..."!

whitney's face is gorgeous. tyra was right, that when she walks in a room, your eyes GO TO WHITNEY. i love that about her. no no no i love her hair!

i'm nervous to see lauren week. she best pull it out

lol to see lauren *walk

yes, fatima is completely lacking in social gares, she's totally oblivious to her cuntiness which makes it even more awesome.

social graces*

um, ew, my eyes do not go directly to whitney... at least not in a good way.

fatima's too cold tho. she doesn't pull me in enuf, in terms of a gut feeling.

Fatima won't win anyway, not unless she eats one of the other girls. Anyone who can make JASLENE look average-sized is way too fucking skinny.

whitney looked a lot better pre-blonde.

whitney was being a cunt though, "I have no reason to respect you"? Speaking in broken english when Dom doesn't even sound like that?

"MY BEST FRIEND IS BLACK!!" lol watevs, you cow.

yea fatima's tummy looked pretty gross. eat pls!

ha i LOVED the "i have no reason to respect you"

she doesn't! what reason does she have? cuz dominique always says "DOMINIQUE IS SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T BACK DOWN, and i'm gonna do what's good for DOMINIQUE"

3rd person much?

"i'm high fasion. that's dominique."

"i'm draggy. that's dominique."

hehe

this is totally the best cycle since cycle 6 (Jade!!), may end up being the best cycle evar.

^^^

Basically the only thing that could make this better would be if Jade and Lisa magically appeared in the house.

AND NATASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait... so ANTM AllStars - has this been done?

Lisa, Jade, Natasha...

melrose?

Season 1 Robin, Ebony
Season 2 Camille, April
Season 3 Norelle, Kelle
Season 4 Keenyah, Michelle
Season 5 Lisa, Jayla
Season 6 Jade, Furonda
Season 7 Anchal, Melrose
Season 8 Brittany, Natasha
Season 9 Heather, Jenah

This is a mix of favorites and reliably entertaining, limited to 2 per season in order to keep from stacking the deck to heavily for certain cycles (yes if I had my way I would just rerun cycles 5 & 6 ad infinitum).

Cycle 1 - Elyse, Robin
Cycle 2 - Camille, Shandi
Cycle 3 - Yaya, Tocarra
Cycle 4 - Tiffany, Michelle
Cycle 5 - Lisa, Bre
Cycle 6 - Jade, Dani
Cycle 7 - Jaeda (w/ haircut), Melrose
Cycle 8 - Jaslene, Kathleen
Cycle 9 - Bianca, Heather

omg thank you, you are a pro-brittany, geez. she should have WON THAT FUCKING SEASON. i was literally depressed over it, i like had to retire to my room for hours. it was upsetting. she was definitely definitely definitely the hottttttttest model in this competition ever (i know, it's a big statement but there are just certain things you believe in)

oh NO! you meant a DIFFERENT BRITTANY. :( i loved brittany from the keenya season (that was the naima season, right?)

okay i just got rly excited for not.

dan are you talking about pornstar brittany? ew.

I'm talking about fucked-up red hair Brittany who skated through the beginning of the season only to melt down most spectacularly at the go-see challenge.

I wish I could include Kathleen ;_;

ohhhhh! she took great pics but her "drama" on the show was kind of boring.

lol her meltdown was classic.

plus she had that awful red weave

the meltdown was amazing, but all the whining leading up to it was O_o

someone is stalking tyra:

M

G

u guyz are too good

Leee I'm lazy, plz link yr blog again

http://tybe.blogspot.com ^_^

i'm still laughing about those pictures

omg dominique. altho, whatever, claire lauren and whitney were being really rude. which doesn't change the fact that lauren looked AMAZING IN HER PHOTOSHOOT COSTUME. geez, that was like, perfect.

whitney's picture was good but i still think she's trying too hard to be sexy. and fatima tries too hard to be sultry every time. but KATARCZYNA's picture was fucking perfect.

Dominique is an idiot.

her picture was funny.

i can't believe she's still on the show. she makes me cringe

also that pain pose-off was RIDIC!

Dominique is amazing, you haters need to fall back. Claire, Whitney & Lauren were being total cunts... especially Claire EUGH.

and yes that pain pose off thing was just so absurd... I was rolling on the floor laughing.

seriously, what did tyra possibly expect lauren to come up with when given 'my palms hurt'?!?!?!!?

also, why is tyra singing everything she sez this season? ugh annoying.

yeah claire was pissing me off a bit. she's alright but she got ahead of herself. dominique i can't totally hate.

haha i kind of like tyra's singing, cracks me up!

it gives me horror flashbacks to undergrad.

I love Lauren but hey I came up with a fierce stigmata pose that would've worked. But that's ok, she totally looked like Shirley Manson in her photo = all sins and shortcomings are forgiven.

Claire was being douchey (they all were, I guess) but don't give Whitney a free pass, totally egging her on.

leee your blog this week is total win!!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ELIMINATED CLAIR OMG.

Yeah, that was a little wow.

Still, MORE LAUREN

Next week I hope Lauren yells more and Dominique gets decapitated.

Well apparently Lauren chops off a finger, so there will be some yelling going on there.

i love it when lauren yells. hah dom looking ROUGH at judging this week lol!

omg. i did like her outfit though -- i actually thought she looked hot in a frazzled way. but i liked the "somethign about mary" comment about her hair. dominique does get hotter every episode though (i know, how dare i say that).

it was weird cuz lauren really did pretty badly on the go-sees and her picture was strange, but i was sooooo glad they kept her instead of claire.

dominique does get hotter every episode though (i know, how dare i say that).

Anya kind of slayed me with her "OMG mister jayeh was walking like... a silver robot!"

Lauren kind of scared me, like I expected her to pull a shiv. And her Myspace intimidates me.

Claire was acting like a jerk towards the end, though.

Whitney is getting a top 3 edit.

Whitney is so

HOTT

omgosh i can't handle going to lauren's myspace just yet. nope. not yet.

has a plus-size ever made it to top 3?

altho i rly think my favorite pic of the competition so far might be katarszyna's grunge shot.

Nope, closest thing was Robin (hah) making it to the top 4 (hahaha) -- so we're about to witness Top Model history.

Guys, I think I'm loving Anya, for real.

anya's really starting to pull her own.

as much as i hate fatima, they definitely booted the right one tonight.

i agree, re: both disliking fatima and staci-ann being the weakest. although i really find it fascinating how lauren's looks/pix are holding her up completely. she needs to FIX HER RUNWAY.

anya's hottt. but i still like lauren's pictures the best. stunning.

Katarzyna's boots were to die for, darlings. The girls should always have to dress like that -- is there a name for the style?

i dunno, but they all looked MAD hot at that shoot. except maybe whitney. god, give her dark hair again, PLEASE!!!

Katarzyna needs to make it Top 3, she's arguably the strongest candidate

except w/ emo cut she looks more like hot hipster chick than model. this cycle had a bit of potential but is making me really sad.

emo cut, i'm on the fence. i'm always a long hair person so it's tough to say, but it certainly worked for her in the grunge shoot (!)

in that shoot, yes. but i think for overall marketability, long hair would help her more. they should just try it straight instead of the casual wavy look she'd been doing.

otm, straight and younger

(than her old do)

let's talk

it was lauren's time

I haven't really loved her photos in a while, tbh. But yeah, no big surprise, she was this cycle's Heather in a lot of ways. Hey, maybe her inability to cope around strangers was Asperger's!

Some commotion around idiot forums that she might've gotten into an accident since the show -- pics of her bruised and cut up on her Myspace. :(

Um, at least Dom's still around for the lols. She's such an ingratiatingly awesome suck up!

Lol @ Katarzyna talking back to Tyra, and Tyra totally being "wtfever don't waste my time peon."

Anya is the truth, now.

dominique's fucking commercial was maybe the funniest thing i've ever seen on top model

:-)

i love love love how tyra was in whitney's corner. cracked me up. her commercial wasn't that bad, it was just SOOOOO SURFACEY

but i don't really get it aren't they supposed to have had the covergirl photoshoot? or is that a different episode? i don't know

They usually have the cover shoot when it's just the top 3 left.. I don't really think Whitney is as fake as they keep saying, though - I think she's insecure! She's stuck there with some extreeeemely skinny women! I would try and "fake" some confidence too!

i know, they weren't taken any shit. at least she gave it some energy.

Right now I'd say the top three are:

Anya (winner)
Katarzyna
Fatima/Whitney (depends on who screws up the go-sees)

they already wenT-and-saw didn't they?

No solo go-sees yet!

If I hear Whitney (or anyone else) say "plus-size" again I'm going to binge and purge.

oh SOLO go-sees, i understand

i know she needs to not talk about it anymore. you're bigger we get it. you eat. good.

Right now I'd say the top three are:

Anya (winner)
Katarzyna
Fatima/Whitney (depends on who screws up the go-sees)

this sounds about right.

also i would like to note:

seriously, could someone teach them to say katarzyna's name correctly? it's so obnoxious to hear 30 different versions of it per episode.

-- tehresa, Friday, March 14, 2008 5:07 AM (Friday, March 14, 2008 5:07 AM) Bookmark Link

i thought tyra was incredibly rude about this

Required viewing for Lauren fanz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIiRPvRsKoY

cutie. definitely the prettiest of the bunch.

why does whitney keep making fun of anya for being 'a blonde'? neither of them are natural blondes, so she really has no place to talk about her.

she means Anya is ditzy. but it is a stupid observation cuz Anya seems more emotionally intelligent than Whitney anyway.

anya's got to win. katarzyna reminds me of liberty ross (remember her?). whitney is soooooooo cheezey - her commercial was so painful to watch. and dominique. ugh, dominique.

i know what she means, surm, it just sounds incredibly ditzy on HER part - a blonde who has been constantly reamed for acting like a ditzy beauty pageant queen calling someone else a blonde OH NOES

totally

i know, anya needs to steal it

also it's like stop trash-talking blondes, whitney.

I feel edified by the sudden outpouring of hate for Whitney. ^_^ So blonde!

look, i love whitney, i just acknowledge her downfalls. really tho she's one of my faves. when all the girls are lined up i'm always lookin at her

you lookin' at her cause her hair is so freaking blinding. i might hate her less with different hair.

hahaha

you HATE her hair

i know this is shocking but i LOVE it

Team Evil is winning. ;_;

I'm starting to feel bad for Dominique, constantly being criticized! I mean she definitely shouldn't be there but Tyra saying "You look like a shitty mall waitress" is kind of harsh, girl's a single mother and probably didn't have -that- much money to go shopping with before the show!

Anyone else get the impression that Fatima's family is pretty rich and its influenced her haughtiness? I can't stand her.

At this point it's Anya for me all the way, I loved Lauren but the only choice I see now is to back Anya and her goofy clueless face.

whitney is SO FUCKING gorgeous in person but she needs to amp her pictures or she's gettin the boot.

anya and dominique's pictures were HOTTTTTTTTT. both of them. dunno which was better.

i would love it if dominique stole this competition, for sheer shock value. she doesn't look bad in person, only kooked-out which is fine by me. she could stand to do something different with her hair tho, always smoothing it back like that. but i liked her red sweatshirt dress thing!

but yeah, anya is SO RELIABLE.

I sort of think at this point that Anya would have to shit into a hat and place it on Tyra's head to lose this.

And even then, if she was fierce about it Tyra would probably be all, "Wow, you shit in that hat, surfer girl! Go ahead!"

was having an argument re: whether or not she's physically pretty. i think she's gorgeous, and looks like she could be on the runways.

lol lol

i don't know why they liked fatima's shots so much. same old fucking crap. ooh look at how intensely pretty i can look!

Everything Anya says kills me.. in the commercial last week she said something like "We're going to have to walk and talk and use lipstick," so this will be hard.

OTM: re shitting in Tyra's hat.. it's going to be Anya/Fatima in the end, right?

ugh please no. anya whitney all the way ;-)

okay it's the wrong cycle but LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2039/1545425033_9d12d0ffef_o.png

whitney is a cunt, Fatima FTW

neutrogena was robbed tho

eh, her photo sucked, and she wasn't memorable in the challenge either

but yeah i was sad for her, she has real talent stuff happening

They kind of hate academically-inclined girls on this show.

Basically, the instant anyone mentions an Ivy League school, I know that person has zero chance of winning regardless of how awesome they are (Elyse, Yaya, Katarzyna).

Don't forget Claire who went to Columbia. But Dan, what are you doing applying reason and logic with this:

I sort of think at this point that Anya would have to shit into a hat and place it on Tyra's head to lose this.

i would love it if dominique stole this competition, for sheer shock value.

Now I'm just hoping that week to week Anya sez or does something cuet.

=)

she always does

<blockquote>I was thinking the same thing, just out of spite. </blockquote>
That sounds mean! My blood sugar was low, so I got stupid, I meant that I was thinking about Dom winning to spite the show, not the Surmounter.

that was obvious

I guess my blood sugar is still low, EHHH?

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a324/ewwwwgross/fatimaclose.jpg

How can a face this perfect not win?

ugh fatima winning would be like saleisha winning again. total shit.

at this point i am all anya. i think they will keep whitney to the final 2 just to pretend they like plus sizes. though, whitney and dominique looked comparatively sized at judging this week as a result of their outfit choices.

how could she not win?: her kiss-ass personality is annoying and her style isn't fresh enough. her face may be pretty but it's also kind of boring...

Fatima has a shit personality. I mean, they all kinda do, but she's especially vile. Now that Lauren's gone, I've lost interest, I have to say.

Dominique will stick around, as they need a villain.

I don't think Dominique can really be classified as a villain anymore. She's more of a sideshow now.

Anyone else get the impression that Fatima's family is pretty rich and its influenced her haughtiness?

Probably not, judging by page 9 of this pdf:

In the fall of 2004, Fatima will enter her first year at Bryn Mawr College with her Posse. She will be the first person in her extended family to finish high school and go to college.

Dominique could be a nervy contender in the final weeks.

Aww, I was sad for the eliminee. ;_;

When will they get rid of Whitney.

also, I would be Fatima's boyfriend. just throwing that out there.

Whitney is getting a top 3 edit.

-- Leee, Saturday, April 5, 2008

she fucked herself! omgosh this is scary, i just don't know. fatima kind of bored me

they totally had to keep whitney for the 3. if anya doesn't win this bitch, i'm gonna be MAD.

also woah anya looking all gwen stefani/madonna in that shoot!!

she looked hot except for her fucking legs

i'm nervous. 10 mins!

well, tyra finally got her fat bitch top model

(she's not really fat i just hate her - most unlikable winner ever. she takes a nice pic though i guess)

omfg, i am so happpy!!! i liked whitney the mostess and you really have no idea how loud i screamed.

yay life

ugh.

that pink outfit was sooo great on her

still in shock.

don't know why you're shocked it was pretty obvious.

not coming into the competition, anya was the shoe-in.

she just fell apart, though, which sucks for her.

*into the final

u think it was some fat girl conspiracy? i don't

Congratulations to Walmart for getting its model!

argggggggggh i didn't get to watch yet and my sister just ruined this for me. i wanted to get all screamy at the tv when they showed the rerun!

FUCK i'm so pissed for you

i was looking forward to your reaction

My wife was completely shocked that Whitney won, although once Fatima was knocked out I kept thinking to myself, "They are going to pick the girl who can speak English this time."

great now i know it came down to anya/whitney arghhh not reading this thread any more til i watch.

i know, at least whitney's delivery was like, kind of clear

hahaha oops, sorry teh!

I missed this last night so I am watching it on my lap at work on my iPod.. And still getting more work done than I normally do because of ILX/etc refreshing. Can't wait to jump in… it's going to be Whitney, isn't it? They just tore Anya a new one over her low key runway walk!

!!

I'm done now. Just an FYI, the correct term is "Full figured model." Thanks, Ty-ty..

I'm totally cool with Whitney winning, though. I think she's totally cute and the bitch edit stemmed from being picked on at school and the need to grow a thick skin. Surmounter, did you see the pictures of her from her pre-show modelling? She did a bunch of covers for Jacksonville(?) in Florida and they were totally cute.

I wish Lauren and Marvita would have made it further.. I miss Lauren already. Can't we give her a tv show instead of Tyra?

Marvita would have been really fantastic in some of the later shoots (specifically the paparazzi shoot).

i did see them -- she looked fine! totally fine. i just love her face.

and ya i think that's exactly why people may think she's bitchy. doesn't really bother me, it's just a defense mechanism. we all have them.

yeah except marvita couldn't model

Marvita could learn to model, surely! Lauren would have been bent over shaking her fist at the paparazzi.. I would have loved to see that!

haha. lauren's walk, tho, ug. come on. you don't even have to walk like a model -- walk like a human!

Haha, you have a good point there. She made Frankenstein's walk look organic.. But I think I empathize because I am 6'1" with terrible posture so I tend to slouch and walk funny too.

and then all of a sudden, Anya started doing the Lauren on the runway final! it was weird.

Yeah, I don't know what happened there! I hope Anya pops up somewhere soon, preferably doing Weekend Update or as the new LiLo in Tina Fey movies.

I also hope Fatima is never heard from again, ugh.

hahaha she's awesome. that voice.

ugh i know, re: fatima. there's the ham

the thing is tho fatima can get some printwork

I guess she could pretty easily - there's no denying she's beautiful when made up.. She's just such a bitch, OMG. I suppose if we never have to hear another opinion/though from her I'm okay with potentially having to see her once in a while.

when made up is key. her skin w.out makeup kinda sucks

Yeah she's actually pretty comical without makeup.. I wonder if they are told not to wear it around the house/during confessionals or if these girls are just lazy? I make myself up every day.. but then, I have Whitney sized booty so I have to, to be lovable..

whitney was way more of a bitch then fatima.

hahaha fine.

nah i'm sure they could put makeup on in the house.

I don't know - people kept saying that, but Fatima was the type to expose/enlarge peoples' flaws, whereas Whitney just kind of.. Complained and came off as fake, IMHO. I think Fatima's form of bitchiness was far more severe.

i don't even care about her bitchiness. she thought she was superior to everyone else, which was obvious, to the point where she couldn't take direction.

at the same time, she kissed the judges' asses and was a little too fucking grateful

ha

oooh, some scandal just came out on Livejournal's Top Model community via FourFour:

"Every cycle since Tyra demanded that we kiss her fat ass, I've predicted that the plus-sized girl (fuck the nouveau lingo) will take it. I refrained this time and whadda ya know: the plus-sized girl took it! How do you like them buxom apples?

I'd call this a symbolic victory, but this is ANTM: if it's not symbolic, it's as good as symbolic. However, earlier this week, I received an email from a source that would like to remain nameless (and, clearly, close to my heart) that suggests this victory is super-symbolic The mystery woman writes:

I debated on whether to share this given my source and you may have heard this already...The source is this wonderfully chatty boy in one of my classes...who says he went to high school with Whitney. The claim is that Whitney did not try out for top model but was approached on a plane by someone from the show. She was already doing modeling as a size 2 or 4 but because she was closer to a 4 she was a little too big for the show as a regular model. They told her that if she went and gained 10-20 pounds they would definitely put her on the show as "the plus-size model". She's about a 6 or 8 on the show. He even showed us this picture of her when she was smaller which was from a year ago.

He also said that she was going to make the top 3. That's why I held out from saying anything for 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if anything was credible. But since the "top 3" thing came through...

This email arrived, mind you, before the pre-ANTM shots of a much slimmer Whitney hit ONTD:

http://i26.tinypic.com/az826a.jpg

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were true (knowing nothing about women's sizes, I'd guess close to a 4 is about right in those shots). At the very least, the pictures tend to refute Whitney's sob stories (heard most recently in the final moments of the show) about being teased for being curvaceous. Of course, given that it's at least third-hand information,this could merely be one of those things that make you go hmmm.

In any event, none of this is to diminish Whitney's hard work standing around and being fierce. Having the plus-sized girl win is a nice touch, and I'm never mad at a good plot point, no matter how contrived.

i know i know i've read it already and couldn't give a rat's ass

she looks hot there though!!

i love how the second the big girl wins, it's fat bitch this and rigged that

i knew that bitch just liked eating donuts

tyra probably forced her to gain wait so she could finally have a plus-sized winner. wouldn't surprise me given that total sham that was saleisha winning

why was that a sham? see i can't think about it that much, my head would hurt

ahh sorry I stayed away from all top model news the last few days because I knew I was going to miss the finale :D she looks super hot though, good work Whitney!
I do kind of think Tyra threw away some better (or at least at-par) models (Marvita, Katarzyna, even Lauren if we could fix her damn walk) to push her plus-size agenda though.

oh i don't know. katarzyna was great but got way boring in the last episode. and i really think they judge by episode

marvita fucking SUCKED in her last episode, and so did lauren!

Yeah, all three sucked in their going home episodes but had been pretty strong before that! Seriously if Dominique could get to #4 any of the ones I mentioned could have, too..

dominique, ppl were hard on her. she was pretty hot, and she could model.

you know they fucked her over though, if they had kept her long hair? her face was way too intense for short hair

Yeah, quite possible there.. but she was so self-defeating with her bad makeup, poor fashion choices, THE BUN.. And that missing tooth! She did seem REALLY likeable though, I think I would love to hang out with her.

omg the tooth.

she seemed likeable but in a really crazy way. like the way she always referred to herself in the third person? really i was ROFL.

"dominique is gonna WIN this copmetition cuz dominique is SO MUCH more mature than these other girls"

Dominique is 23 but managed to make finefinemusic's 25 look 15!

haha, the swimwear shoot

i love how the second the big girl wins, it's fat bitch this and rigged that

i think it's less to do with whitney's weight than the fact that she just wasn't as good or believable a model as anya. anya won like, 4 competitions and whitney was on the chopping block how many times? anyway, it's a tv show with a plot and a destination and a need for drama, like any other tv show ... if antm was looking for the type of models you see regularly on runways or magazines the top 3 would have been anya, katarzyna and lauren

yeah EXCEPT

anya sucked in the final challenge and they give that a lot of WEIGHT

but i agree anya was definitely more impressive throughout.

anya sucked in the final challenge and they give that a lot of WEIGHT

but lol you guys, logic does not belong on this thread, especially trying to reason out why any particular girl went home or did not win.

I don't think that I ever felt any suspense when Whitney was in the bottom two because her narrative was total fait accompli, and even though "Where's the saran wrap" will reside warmly in my heart, she could be a remarkable douche, though maybe I'm letting my LOL HUEG prejudice get a hold of me. I never liked her pictures, either, and seeing as Lauren hated her, that's good enough for me.

Anyway, I wouldn't cry for Anya as supposedly Elite already signed her. Was her CG ad really that bad? My reception's audio fritzed out during that whole segment.

Admittedly, I did not watch every episode with bated breath. BUUTTT - Anya doesn't really seem to be able to speak English. Not that that's a requirement for a model, but...where is that accent from? And so many of her observations seemed to be: " OMG we're going on a shoot with water! Lots of things like water!"

I liked Claire - was there a Claire? - and Lauren.

Whitney is really, really beautiful.

i actually think whitney looks better with the weight than when she was thinner... or maybe it was just the hair/photo angle?

dominique, ppl were hard on her. she was pretty hot, and she could model.

you are just saying that because you like boys.

Adrian is the only Top Model winner who has a RWEAL career!

I always like the tall gawky pretty girls who can't really model. Heather. Lauren.
Heather has Aspergers. Laurens punk rock. It's like ILM in a model nutshell.

Whitney is really, really beautiful.
She won because I don't think anyone except Anya's parents and BFF's know what Anya is ever saying when it's time to maybe say something flower sink suitcase fountain and thank you.

Anya really has no mastery of the language. And it's her first language. (unless I missed some blondebonics thing that happened).

Anya speaks pidgin, shuddup you. :(

you are just saying that because you like boys.

ha :)

dominique, ppl were hard on her. she was pretty hot, and she could model.

Dominique didn't start looking like a model until week 5. Marvita's only crime was letting the judges get into her head and throw her off her game; had she stayed fierce, she would have been top 4.

yah maybe week 5. but only cuz they butchered her hair.

with long hair she looked like JLo

alright whitney lovers ...

it's not the hair so much as a decent makeup artist giving her a more natural look.

she also appears to have lost weight?

I think I like Whitney because she loks like a young version of my good friend, from boarding school, Vicki, who sort of looked like a thinner version of Blair from "Facts of Life".

Whitney =Blair?

she has nice tits

there's something about her face I don't like... too sharp or something, she looks better tho

she has nice tits

She speaks almost half-decent English and can apparently think somewhat better than a spoon, so that when we're watching her commercials during cycle whateverthefuckcomesnext, we won't want to always die. So yeah.

Plus tits.

she's so beautiful. i love the sharpness of her face.
