"Tonyas Thoughts on tonights episode 9/20" |
Tyra has once again casted a young group of talent less girls.None of them could do high fashion with the exception of the Twins and one of the blonde girls. Currently the best paid models are all of eastern European places; Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, the "Stans" yet Tyra gets girls with no European attributes which is what currently is "top" of the modeling world. It is fine to cast girls that are "different" but if a girl cant do high fashion she is not a model...this has been a problem with ALL of the winners, NONE of them could model in Europe, and if you want to be a Top model in the States you need to hold ground in Europe. Also there are not enough skinny or young girls. For someone to really have a shot at becoming a model they need to be thin and also very young. I wish the show was open to 16+ instead of 18+ this would really give a chance to girls that could actually become Top models all they would need to do is be on the show and make top 5 so they can have a good portfolio and experience, they would need to make sure and loose though because winning this show would only be a hindrance. The twislers??? these guys are so early 90's and even then it was not high fashion. NOBODY has twiseled at the end of the runway since like 94. It is obvious that Tyra has no connections in the current modeling world.
I cant believe Tyra filled the Girls hotel with pictures of herself, NARCASIST! but seriously I am tired of seeing pictures of Tyra all over the place, like the show is a reminiscence of her "top Model" career. Why do they have to get naked??? Seriously that is just gross. What kind of model are they trying to make? Tyra herself has never gotten completely naked in a shoot, yet she makes her models do this the first day!!! and they are threatened to be cut off the show if they don’t. No true top model would get naked the way these girls had to do so, what part of being a model has to do with getting naked yet no modeling of a product. Often when a model goes nude she will be doing it for very expensive shoes or jewelry yet these girls just got naked for a picture without modeling anything, this is not something a top model would do. Tyra "acting": Man Tyra really does suck. I also thought it was funny that her impersonation of a "Model Diva" had an eastern European accent when it is the American girls that are known for being "Divas". The "prizes": Seventeen Magazine??? LOL that is a slap on the face to these girls. Once again the magazine is out of date just like Tyra, and not something for a "top Model" it also does not display True Fashion. I cant believe the other magazine dropped the show, however I don’t blame them with the "Top Models" Tyra was turning out i am surprised even Seventeen agreed to giving them a spread.

Random notes:1. Liking the twins. Much more than I thought I would, at least pictorially. Those photos - modeling aside, just as photos - were great, particularly the bulemia shot. Would have made a great Fiona Apple cover. 2. Well, we have our Beeyotch de Cycle, don't we? I would have dumped about ten gallons of water in her bed the minute she turned her back if I were that other girl. (Actually, I would have thrown her off the bed and thrown her stuff in the lap pool and Tyra would have taken back my clock, or something like that). The girl is pretty, though. 3. They found a feminine Kim. Too bad she can't spell "Meg." 4. The girl from India is stunning. I will be glibly racist here and say that some of the most beautiful people, male and female, I have ever seen come from India. 5. The nude thing comes up at some point - better they winnowed out the girls who felt shaky about this now rather than later, when they have eliminated other girls who don't mind the obligatory nekkiddity. It has been a part of every season. Frankly, if you're backstage at a runway show you're gonna get nude in front of tons of strangers. If you feel like that's Icky, you should reconsider your career options or at least not try out for ANTM. 6. All the blondes....*sighs* Rickadee? Chickadee? Tweedledee? Actually, I liked her more than I thought I would but a little valium seems called for. Brooke should act - every part that Reese Witherspoon turns down could be hers - and not model. 7. Melrose if fvcking pathetic. No one from San Francisco should call herself "Melrose." It could only have been worse if she called herself "Frisco." And she looks about 35.
Still, I kinda liked Ginger, for some reason.

I agree that this season has gone downhill very quickly. The girls are embarrasingly immature, and Tyra's over-acting is getting old!I did like A.J., and Meg (?I think?), the 2 with the short hair, and the Indian girl. But that whole 'nude posing' is just ridiculous! When is a runway model going to be nude, except when she's changing behind the curtain?? Makes NO sense to me! Except that they ALWAYS use this challenge to weed out the more conservative girls. Really makes me sick! All in all, I suppose modeling is no place for someone/anyone with Christian/moral values-or at least that is what they are pushing hard to make us believe. Just MY opinion. I really think this may be the last season if they don't step it up, and that's really a shame, because there was such potential, since there wasn't anything even close to this on the air. I say can Tyra and "Miss J" and get some people who really CARE and KNOW the business for what it is NOW!

Ok here we goFirst of all the Puerto Rican chicka from Chicago needed to stay...didn't she look like Janice??? Eugena and Monique are HIT-dious!!! Monique the attitude...as a fellow Chi-girl you are representing horrible. All that crap to get sympathy about your color was a ruse. Cause you flipped as soon as you got into the house. Speaking of sob stories. OMG!!!! If I saw another chick try to get through with a tear I thought I would barf. Only Megans story was "good" because A. trya asked to hear it and B. she didn't break down and say this is why she deserved it. People will call you ugly, "blacula" and ****** doesn't mean you deserve the world. You still gotta work. AJ, Michelle, and Megans pics were the best. Not greatest but the best out of the bunch. The best pic of the night was Michelle (scary but good) Overall it was boring...none of the girls have the factor that I can tell from day one and its like they were chosen for drama not for being a potential model. I kinda felt bad for melrose...she was set up to be late. think about it, they give her the premadonna photoshoot and then set her up for a massage AFTER her make up was done. She was put on a pesdetal to fall off. The girls are bland...I makes me yearn for the days of Yoanna, Mercedes, Nik, Shanti, Naima, and Toccara. The missing word of the day is FLAVA. Hopefully next week they'll get some. "I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats"

I agree Mrsunderstood. Melrose did seem to be set up. I don't really understand why they would even schedule a message during the photo shoot in the first place. Plus, I didn't really get what the hell Tyra was talking about when she said Melrose back talked Jay. He asked and she gave her excuse and I don't call that back talking.

Remember Robin (the bible reader,) she went, My Grandmother said, if you fall down for anything, you won't stand up for nothing. she was serious about nudity,because of her religion.
I don't know if modeling has anything to do with nudity or not,but I believe it's for picture purposes in a portfolio and the audience one time to see for free. *~*~*sugarfoots*~*~*

I have a few things to say:I really liked this premiere. The girls they got together this season are definitely much better than last time around. Don't get me wrong, they had some good ones last time (Nnenna, Joanie, Danielle), but collectively they just weren't very impressive. With that said, I was glad that they gave the first shoot this time a more editorial look. A lot of the girls had really great photos, I was impressed. In regards to the nudie photo shoot, I didn't see what the big deal was. It's not like the shoot had any sort of pornographic value to it, and the girls had their private areas covered in most of their pictures anyway. Tyra's acting was intended to be over the top. And yes, Seventeen Magazine is a joke. Although I guess at the very least, it'll make the winner look good compared to the rest of the crap that's in there.

LAST EDITED ON 09-22-06 AT 01:44 AM (EST)I can agree about the nudity,except they could of waited a little futher down to expose these innocent beauties, yes that's right I said beauties because they look better. They are innocent because they are regular people Okay, and they are entering into a unknown world, that they wished to make a career in. If Tyra wanted european model's believe me she would have them on the show even if Janice Dickerson delivers, because those two are the best of friends, and we know this!. I rather see our American girls become top model's because as you mentioned Europe takes the cake, so why not the good ole' USA. The more this program debut the more people get on the messageboards with this attitude against the show. Just ain't no pleasing people. Come on now the show is what it is. It's America's Next Top Model, try not to forget it, and don't read anything else into it, and I guarantee you will like this show. Give it a chance again. Act as if this was the first time it came on television. *~*~*sugarfoots*~*~*

LAST EDITED ON 09-22-06 AT 04:04 PM (EST)Here's the thing that drove me crazy. When Melrose won the challenge she got a reward with a massage, a personal assisstant, and they called it her 'diva day'. But then, once the massage that they gave her makes her late, Jay gets all p!ssy at her. Dn't give her a diva day, and the get mad when she lets it go to her head a little. Don't give out a dumb prize! geesh. edited to say: I meant to reply to a previous post where this whole Melrose things was being discussed. Sorry to break the continuity. Sig by Cyg!

I agree with the above poster who said the cliches are back in full swing. *yawn*I'm not sure if nudity is part of modelling, but it is part of ratings. That's probably why they put it on the first show as well. Loved the bulimia shot. That was scarily real. I like the unspoken edginess of that twin. Loved the girl from India and the short-haired girl. Tribe
