Americas Next Top Model - Cycle 8

Sun Mar 04, 2007 2:22 am

http://www.cwtv.com/shows/americas-next-top-model

only caught the first half of the first episode, I see some potential and some "WHAT"

Natasha seems like a case. Very beautiful but strange - mail order bride apparently. Thinks you must act like a lady and what not...

Jael and Renee take really nice pictures.

Kathleen seemd like a bit of a head case too.

Mods: Sorry if I should have resurrected the previous thread but I thought a new cycle warrented a new thread. Punish me if you must :oops:

I caught the first hour and a half of it, I had to look after my nephew so I missed the last half.

So far, I'm rooting for the black plus sized model and the girl with short hair blonde hair who was being nice to everyone.

I really don't like the other plus sized model, she seems like she doesn't care about the competition. That she's only there to make a point; we know plus size models have been on the show before, so there's no point to make really.

And I despise Renee; she's just a mean spirited person. Attacking one of her only friends in the house for being too nice? Are you kidding me? Thank God that girl fired back at her, what a loser.

My buddies and college all get together and watch it. We've all decided that Natasha is a complete idiot who needs to be kicked off immediately. That one girl who was kicked off was so stupid. I nicknamed her "Mufasa" because of her HUGEMONGOUS hair.

I love how the judges told her, "You totally missed the point of the picture" and she says, "I know, right?"

That was hilarious, I could not stop laughing at that part.

Oh god, that entire discussion about it being ok to wear animal fur if the animal died of sickness or something cracked me up.

And the mail order bride looks like a porn star.

Don't these girls have to pass some kind of IQ test?

Natasha is beautiful - but oh. my.god. "Models shouldn't burp." WHAT?

I'm defiantly betting on Whitney, and I wish they had chosen a better picture from her shoot. Honestly, I saw so many better shots of both of them during the shoot ... I always disliked how the photography chose out the odd pictures.

So I missed the end of it....Kathleen was the one that got kicked off?

Edit: wrong name

I love the Jay's. They make it so much fun.

I loved Ms. Jay's reaction to the girl who couldn't shut up,

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Oh my LAWD! I just wanna PRAAAAAAAAAAAAAISE Jesus!'

The auditions are the best.

I lvoed the photoshoot though, my money is on Sarah, Jael, Cassandra or Whitney.

Ah, I hate Natasha too! She is sooooo annoying!

I also disliked Kathleen a lot, I'm so glad she's gone.

I agree Renee is really mean also, she has nothing nice to say!

Best quote of the show:

Miss Jay: "Baby I don't do push-ups"

Natasha = Moronic fool who needs to go.

Jael = Exotic enough to perhaps make it to final five and reminds me of one Adrianne Curry because of her off the wall awesomeness

Renee = Needs to take a long flight back to Hawaii to be a mom to her 7 month old. She isn't going to get the time she is missing watching her child grow up back.

Whitney = Totally trumping over Diana who appears to be a deer in the headlights. Though, I am rooting for them both.

Overall = Don't have a favorite yet and there seems to be more bleh's than awesomes.

Speaking of Adrianne... Did anyone else notice that in the 'history of ANTM' house theme, there was NOTHING with Adrianne?

Apparently Tyma can really hold a grudge. o_o

Wait .. why does Tyra have a grudge against Adrianne?

In my opinion, Adrianne was the most successflu story of ANTM.

What happened between Tyra and Adrianne?

(this is mostly from memory- sorry if I get any details wrong or end up totally imagining certain things, but this is mostly stuff I remember from a blog post of Adrianne's AGES ago)

According to Adrianne, Tyra was apparently quite misleading in the first season- apparently, the winner of season 1 was to get a big contract with Revlon, but nothing really happened. I think after that, Adrianne was getting really fed up with the entire experience of winning, as nothing really was happening- and Tyra didn't exactly help her out in the industry. She complained about it in a letter to Tyra, Tyra then basically said in an interview or something that it wasn't her fault if Adrianne wasn't working hard to get to the top (kind of hard to do if you're unable to get any good modelling jobs). I think that Adrianne then apologized to Tyra in another letter or something, but nothing happened.

She's also been quite vocal about the living conditions on ANTM, which apparently were, er, very not-so-great.

A while afterwards, Adrianne went public with all of this in a rant on her blog, which is when I read it (though apparently she posted the rant two years ago, but I was linked to it only about a year ago, so).

There's a little bit from it here- apparently the 'big contract' with Revlon was one day at a convention, which she was never paid for anyway. oO

And PTP- nah, Adrianne's definitely not the biggest success story. Elyse very much is, IMO.

Ah, well looks like Adrianne was ripped off.

Thanks Xela!

As for tonight's episode, I personally thought that Renee was annoying. I understand her frustration, but you can't pick and choose what photoshoots you'll do as a model. It's good to be versatile. She should just go home to her kid and shutup.

Now, the Spanish girl (Completely forgot her name, I know it starts with a 'J'), she's a bit annoying as well. She is way over-confident and I do agree with Renee saying it's a front and she's insecure. Which seems to be the truth; however, I do like her photo's at the end. Great work.

Also, Whitney is annoying me; I didn't like her runway walk at all. She looked stupid.
