"Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"
LAST EDITED ON 12-06-06 AT 09:34 PM (EST) I suppose this is petty, but ever since Caridee asked the judge if he'd just pulled that stick out of his butt, I've been rooting for her. It might not have been so funny if he weren't so stiff and serious. I'm glad she had this triumph. I know not all pretty girls have it easy growing up, but this one really knows what it's like to be on the other side and how big of a role model she can and will be, and I'm happy for that. And of course, Melrose was the most two-faced person on earth, so who could possibly root for her? I've had lots of trouble with her suck-up kind. And I didn't think she was that pretty, really, but she did do a good job sometimes. And one more thing. It looked to me like Caridee's final scary walk was just like Ms. J's, who I guess (and for what reason I can't imagine) they're supposed to watch and imitate, so I don't think she should have been penalized for acting the fool exactly as he did.

2. "RE: Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"

Give me a break....Caridee was so fake !! She acted like a two year old. She did not deserve to win this. She is very pretty but she was in the bottom two several times. She disrespected a photographer ( they should of booted her for that) Melrose wanted it more and worked harder. Wasn't it funny they didn't show any of the pics where Caridee was bad when they compared the pics. Like the one where she was floating in space, etc. I think they had their minds made up before the final runway and had to pull something together quick when Caridee bombed on the runway. How is a model going to model if she can't do runway. And .....she hasn't been able to thru the entire show. The only thing she is good at is acting like a buffoon. Just my take. Melrose should of won.

Wow. This is exactly how I feel. Melrose lost because she didn't WANT IT? Are they kidding? They were looking for excuses just as they were looking only for the best pics of Cari and the worst pics of Melrose. Ugh.

4. "RE: Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"

I disagree. I don't think the judges intentionally showed the photos in which Melrose was worse than Caridee.
In the 'flying through space' photo, the judges liked Caridee's picture better than Melrose's, but were concerned about her ability (or lack thereof) to follow instructions.
I thought Melrose took good photos, too, and she walked runway better than Caridee, but in the end, I like Caridee better. She seemed more real than Melrose. Melrose may know and love fashion better than Caridee, but passion can only take you so far and raw talent will take over in the end.
I was actually hoping Melrose would win for the first half of the season, but I eventually got sick of her fake persona and enjoyed seeing Caridee's weaknesses.

5. "RE: Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"

There was something about Melrose that I just didn't care for. And I think that the judges felt the same. She's very over the top and that got old really really fast. Speaking of old, she looks to old to model. As horrible as that seems, I think they were being pratical.
Not wanting it? I don't believe that. She did want it. However do they admit they kept her arround for the drama she created and ignored the fact that she looked old in every pic she took? They can't say in the final show "oh she looked old" when she looked old every week.

i agree melrose wanted it but she looked to old!! barker often said i dont care for mel cause i think she is to old to be a model. but melrose did take great pictures. she knew alot about the fashion industry. caridee was raw. i could tell she had a passion 4 it. and she had pure talent. melrose looked she rehearsed everything she said. melrose was a total pain tot the other girls. she acted as if she had no manners towards them. you dont have to make friends but you can atleast be polite and nice. i have to give it to melrose she did win alot of challenges but caridee had the talent.
GO CARIDEE

The highlight of this otherwise terrible season was the stick comment made by Carridee. She may have been joking but her words rang so true. But I feel that comment, even though it was a suppose joke should have penalized Caridee alot more than it did. Seems the comment went to the wayside in the final analysis.
I like Caridee and wished her to win but being a realist as I am Melrose should have won.

Melrose by far won many of the comps and was consistantly good in her pics.

Even when listening to Tyra's and the other judges comment most were in favor of Melrose. So, who changed whose minds in the final analysis for Caridee to win?
Has this show become a platform for Tyra to keep her aging self in the limelight? I feel so, look at the house they stayed in. I mean, how egotistical can one be to have pitcs of themselves all over?

This show is not about the ladies anymore......it's all about the aging people in the industry: tyra, the judges, etc.

7. "RE: Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"

I personally like Caridee, but there were things about her performances that made me feel she shouldn't have won. It's one thing to be bitchy but it's another to act like a fool and make others wonder if one is even capable of pulling off a career. Not only was this Caridee's problem but she couldn't even do runway....and I don't care what Ms. Jay ran down that runway doing....Caridee should have known better. After all she only got warned about every week not to behave in that fashion!
As for Melrose...all I seem to be hearing and reading is how undeserving she is because people dislike her. How does that make Melrose undeserving? Melrose acted professionally during photo shoots and challenges, won challenges, took pretty good photos with little instruction from Jay and had one of the better speaking qualities in the competition. Jay was right....Melrose was being punished for how much she knew rather than being another one of Tyra's charity cases. That's why Melrose didn't win....Tyra wants the public to think that she's a model momma who takes on awkward girls and turns them into stars! Puleeeeeez!
To Caridee: honey sorry you won this competition because you aren't a bad person or model but you won't make it.
To Melrose: thank the heavens that you got exposure and a free portfolio and run!

There were things about MEL that irked me but I knew that she had to be that way to not internalize the rejection and immaturity of the other girls...she is the strongest in my books
Cari- if you trip on the runway and chip your teefs...well call it kharma...

I, for one, thought this was the most lackluster season of the show. No one girl really stood out as a strong personality, a strong competitor.
As for the poor runway walks, everyone had a walk that needed refining; it's not just Caridee's performance that was lacking.
But TWO BLONDES as the final competitors? There was very little to distinguish between them. Eugena was there for contrast, but I've always had problems with her complexion and that unrealistically long straight hair that screamed WEAVE.
I think Top Model is winding down; seven seasons is a good run, though.

i agree about the walk thing- she definitely did fine adn they gave her too much slack for doing exactly what miss jay did. I liked that she was a down to earth girl who is a fresh face for the industry.

Since when is having a sense of humour, but bad judgement "fugly"? At least is showed that she was human, and capable of making mistakes, even though she is on TV! Being 2-faced is showing ones "fugly" side!

People seem to forget that these girls are plucked from god-knows-where, and thrown into a completely different world (Yes, they chose to do it, but until they are actually there, noone knows what its really like!)
Caridee may have made some silly mistakes, but maturity comes with age (and experience!)
The description that caridee is "unstable, self centred, immature, RUDE and uncouth" surely describes Monique more than anyone! Rubbing dirty knickers on someones bed covers just about it all!
Really, Elyses Sewell from Cycle 1 has to have been the biggest nut-job - all the girls were afraid to go to sleep, incase she did something!

I agree that all those describe Monique she was whack.. but they are Caridee as well. It is not about maturity to refrain from saying things that no one else would think about saying..Caridee was reckless...and should have been sent home. I hope they do psych tests before picking them for now on.

25. "RE: Caridee - a pretty girl who knows what it's like not to be"

I watched the final last night (I'm from Australia), and I'm really glad that CarriDee won.
Whilst she wasn't my favorite initially, she had the combination of beauty and character that made her stand out.
Originally I liked Anchal because she was stunning to look at, and had a more unique body shape than the other gals. It was clear that she hadn't come to terms with her beauty yet (despite what some of the other girls had to say), having been somewhat of an 'ugly duckling' growing up. This made her more endearing, but I agreed that she wasn't ready to be ANTM as she needed more development to be happier in her own skin.
Much seems to be made of CarriDee's remark to lovely Nigel, but having read an interview that she gave, he apparently joked back. It was all in the editing that made it look like he was annoyed with her, and that she was upset about it. Producers obviously put the pressure on Nigel to make a big thing about it. After all, it is reality TV, and there are a lot of viewers there just for the drama.
As for Melrose, she is the sort of gal that highlights one of the problems in the show. She won most of the challenges, but at the end of the day, is not going to be a top model. She could certainly model for some forums, but I can't see her on the international catwalk, or doing beauty shots. This highlights that the challenges in ANTM don't really reflect what is required of a model. At the end of the day, its all about natural looks, genetics that give you a lean body type, certain level of natural talent and sense of ease, and technique. All of which CarriDee had in spades (she perhaps needs to work on her runway technique).
It was clearest when the two finalists were standing side by side in the last judging panel, that CarriDee was both literally and metaphorically head and shoulders above Melrose.
Melrose would make a fantastic celebrity interviewer. Think a young Joan Rivers. She was sensational in that challenge, and I hope (for her sake) that she is able to become more balanced, take disappointment less deeply, and be confident to show her true self.
I love the show, and am an avid watcher each week. The thing I like about it the most is seeing the great images and concepts that are produced. The only thing I'm surprised about is the gals not being happier about getting the caliber of free portfolio shots they will receive. If they had to pay for the level of photography, makeup, hair, clothing, conceptualists, directors etc., they would be in for a rude awakening!
Looking forward to cycle 8!
