I haven't been watching this cycle, and from what many of you are saying I guess I'm not missing much. What happened to this show? I mean, it was always ridiculous (except for maybe the first time around--then it was a little more realistic and not so campy) but it wasn't boring until recently. What happened?!
I've started watching Make me a Supermodel on Bravo after ANTM and I have to say, Make me a Supermodel has been much more awesome this season. Anyone else with me?
@sunburnedheart: Yes, I enjoy the sensationalism of Make Me a Supermodel. I'm not sure why Tabatha is a judge, but I do like the crazy runway challenges and seems to have a more 'modely' focus.
I discussed this with my roomie, and we can't come to an agreement, so please, help us out jezebels:
Thalia: model-size / normal-size / plus-size ?
We both didn't see the first two episodes, did Tyra say anything about her size? And of course I mean by ANTM standards, not real world modelling standards.
Time and place, Celia, you chose wrong on both counts but started out by picking the wrong battle. Do not presume to correct the Tyra. And wtf difference does it make who goes home so long as it isn't your ass?
those close-ups of Celia & Allison when Kourtney was being eliminated? Kinda hilarious.
I understand Celia's frustrations. She's definitely the most fashion-conscious. She is also the oldest & at times off this desperation vibe.
I did not appreciate her attempt to rally the girls to have a united stance on Tahlia & I certainly didn't think her speaking up in front of the panel did her any favors. Girl, you should have known better.
And Tahlia - you are so wishy-washy. If you can't withstand the critics of Tyra & co., how the hell you gonna make it in the cutthroat world of modeling?
Animat - you've got improve. You're one of my faves ;o(
My friends and I talk about quitting our jobs ALL THE TIME. But if one of us ever said to the boss, "Hey, if you're looking to make cuts, you should just fire Talaya because she doesn't really want to be here," then there would be hell to pay.

@Menouthis: "The Burned Girl" because that is her persona on the show, that is how the editing is playing her up. That is her story. In the show. Not in real life, but in ANTM world. For Tyra's exploitation purposes. I don't think she's mocking her scars, or reducing her identity to just her scars, she's just acknowledging her role in the season, however fucked up that is.
@yumiyoshi: rite. At first, I referred to Animat as 'the girl with the fro' not b/c I was critiquing her appearance, but b/c I was identifying a trait that singled her out. I do not see what's wrong with saying Tahlia is the girl with the burns? It's her platform - she talks about them all the time.

@Menouthis: As we have stated many, many times before: If you have issues with the editorial content of the site, you should email the editors directly. Otherwise this is thread-jacking.
Seriously, what possibly positive outcome could there have been for her from that? And bear in mind that she's one of the more intelligent ones this cycle.
@morninggloria: Really? I don't know. I think it's pretty obvious that Tyra doesn't give a shit about any of the girls, or even particularly like them past the fakery.
@deitybox: She wants to pick the one that looks up to her the most adoringly, but she wants the adoring one to also be pretty, so that she can feel that she is still someone that the prettiest girl will look up to.
@deitybox: Yes, except more condescending because Tyra doesn't actually hang out with the winner. She graces the winner with her presence in a photo shoot and then allows the winner to admire her from afar.
@morninggloria: I think its that plus who reminds her of herself when she were younger. She also very much wants someone she can mold; unfortunately Celia is 25 and seemingly strong willed.
@morninggloria: Or which girl makes Tyra look like she's doing the most goodness for humanity. In Tyra's mind, favoring the burn victim makes Tyra look like a progressive, compassionate modeling judge.
@morninggloria: Really? Because she is usually pretty hard on the pretty girls for being oring and jsut relying on their pretty faces to pull them through,
I just miss Season 4. Remember when on the girls are on that dangerous safari when they all need to be absolutely silent, and the one girl absolutely WOULD NOT shut up??

That was some quality TV, though.
