PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Monique-don't the PTB ever watch the clips???" |
I don't get it. Don't Tyra, and the powers that be ever watch the clips of how the girls are getting along/responding to eachother in the house?I don't know that it wouldn't be considered 'bias' to do so, but if they did, Monique would be out on her butt in a nano-second! Of course, Jade was all that last season, but I have to say, she couldn't hold a candle to this BEAOTCH!!!!!!!!! This girl is going to go to sleep and not wake up if she continues her garbage. Just MY take on it, anyway. I can't see how ONE person could be allowed to sabotage and make everyone else's life so miserable without someone in control not knowing about it. I suppose as long as she's posing a pretty pose, anything goes?? What do you think???

>>I personally don't think her photos have been that good<<You're right -- and Tyra kinda spanked her at panel last night...saying Monique was much improved this week, but since she was so pathetically bad last week, there was no where to go but up. And she was last-called before bottom 2. I'd almost rather see her be eliminated because she sucks than because she's the biggest b!tch since S1-Robyn. THAT would knock her down a peg or two -- "Monique, you sit in front of the camera like a lump of carp. Go home now."

It's all very simple: Drama = ratings. They have the control to hang on to her as long as possible, until it becomes too ridiculous to justify it (meaning, her modeling starts to suck or she actually beats down someone and they have to send her). It's entertaining, because it gets people talking and watching and Tyra ain't letting that go. Last season was a prime example. Jade was lackluster for most of the season, difficult to work with (remember the commercial?) and only near the end did they manage to find enough in her to justify keeping her. She was far from the top of the heap, though. But...she was entertaining because she was insane, a total sociopath--and people watched. So, don't expect Monique to go anywhere soon unless the girls of the house band together, throw a blanket over her head one night, beat her to a bloody pulp and dump her body in Laurel Canyon somewhere.

Sure they throw things into the mix. That's why they gave them less beds than there were girls--and one phone. They want them to fight and plot against one another. I talked once with a psychiatrist who had gone on a talk show years ago (Sally Jessy show??) and she said that she watched producers coaching particpants ahead of time to be combative and confrontational. I'm sure the ANTM producers are doing plenty behind the scenes to stir things up. Why not? I sure would. Give me ten minutes in that house and I'd be switching makeup, stealing granola bars and dumping who buckets of water on the beds--then watch their little world crumble around them.

LAST EDITED ON 09-28-06 AT 06:28 PM (EST)Yes, Monique is way out of line. The reason that Tyra and Co do not intervene is those women are not living in the Big Brother house. Fact is the fashion business is probably overrun with little Moniques; mean girls who are that way because they think they can get away with it. It's to Tyra's credit that the other girls encounter this kind of pettiness in its natural state and develop a thick skin to deal with it. Not all the lessons to be gained from the modeling world are in those silly challenges and photo shoots that Tyra stages. And for those who think Monique will somehow see the "error of her ways" and repent, don't hold your breath. Life isn't a morality play and vindictive behavior often goes unpunished. Monique may not change her demeanor on the show one bit. But it's telling that her photos leave a lot to be desired and this, alone, may spell the end of her in the competition.

Life isn't a morality play, but reality television sure is. We see the villainess-redeemed all the time.

I don't get it. Don't Tyra, and the powers that be ever watch the clips of how the girls are getting along/responding to eachother in the house? i'm sure they do watch--and they know that all the conflict makes for good tv. it's also a pretty good strategy--see Jade last season. don't get me wrong--i don't think Monique is acting, but they don't usually kick someone out just because she's a giant b!tch and it could work to her advantage in the short-run. (i don't think Jade was acting either--they both seem a little "off") Of course, Jade was all that last season, but I have to say, she couldn't hold a candle to this BEAOTCH!!!!!!!!! so far i don't think Monique is as annoying as Lisa or as entertaining as Jade, but she does seem to be a bigger b!tch. an arkiegrl original 2005

I really hope they don't keep this psycho-beotch around because they think it makes "good TV". After they did that with that troll Jade last season I almost stopped watching.

>I really hope they don't keep >this psycho-beotch around because they >think it makes "good TV". >After they did that with >that troll Jade last season >I almost stopped watching. Agree!! It's just not right or fair (not that the producers or Tyra CARE) that the other girls have to put up with this kind of abuse and annoyance, week after week.
If MY daughter were in that house, especially that little girl who's still in high school, you'd best believe I'd be walking in there and kicking some major A$$!!!! LOL. They must all sign a contract (or parents do) that what happens in the house, stays in the house, eh? Still hard for me to believe that in the REAL world of modeling, acting, even Rock & Roll singers that very many 'divas' would act like that and get away with it for long! But, we DO have Streisand, Houston and a few others who have that repuation. I dunno. I'm just SO glad that I am ugly!!

>>I really hope they don't keep this psycho-beotch around because they think it makes "good TV"<<I may be a Pollyanna for thinking this...but I don't think they KEEP girls because of the drama -- I just think they won't eliminate someone strictly based on their house-behavior, they eliminate them for their work in the challenges and at the judging. Monique's crap pictures will eventually eliminate her. OR, if her insanity shows up at a shoot or in a competition. I think as long as the girls behave professionally (or some approximation thereof) at 'work' they don't care how awful they are in the house. (yeah, totally Pollyanna, I know)

21. "RE: Monique - Good Riddance Skank" |
I don't blame Melrose or any of them for being overjoyed when Monique got the boot. Now she can go home and cry to her Mommy. Wiping her bathing suit on Melrose's bed proves that she is a nasty skank ho and I hope that anyone that has the misfortune of knowing her got to see that disgusting behavior.
