America's Next Top Model

[mspixieears]

Don't shoot me, I'm addicted to it. I could've sworn you guys had a thread about it, asking who was most likely to win, and a poll. Well, I think Naima could have a shot. I hope she does! Brittany seems to have a good shot too.

The ep we're up to in Australia - Tyra just threw her magic tantrum at Tiffany. I thought the accusations that Tiffany treated the whole thing like a joke was a bit harsh. Perhaps she didn't want it bad enough, and she didn't want to bawl because it's not her. Sheesh.

I'm a bit surprised, nay, morbidly fascinated by how they all live in the States but seem fairly clueless about fashion designers and related things. I wonder if they'll go overseas in this season like they usually do?

And so prudish, geez! Just because you have to pose with a male model in your underwear, doesn't mean you have to go all stupid because you're engaged?! So what? Modelling is a job, that requires a lot of acting. You know, pretending to be someone else?

I'm done ranting about these silly American model-wannabes...now it's your turn.

Oh my gosh! I was totally like that when they raided Tanya Turner's bag for cocaine in Footballers' Wives and out popped a lipglass stain or tasti! I was like: ooh! What colour is it?!? Heh heh. Obsessed!

I love that I could pronounce all the names of colors and designers that they couldn't, and as I've stated elsewhere when talking ANTM, I'm a 5'4" librarian with curves, acne, and a budget!

Personally, my favorite is Kahlen. She seems very versatile in her different modeling moods, and she's quiet, but you know what they say about still waters.

Me too! It breaks my heart that bookish, 5 foot nothing me with curves I think generally in the right places, and clear skin can never even try to be a model because I'm so short. Aw well.

I like Kahlen too, she's definitely in with a chance. She just needs to be a bit braver.

Ditto to all of the above!!

I'm glad Naima's still in the running, though!!

 

[jeanna]

Juneplum, I agree with you!

Keenyah: I just can't see Naima as being black...

Whatever!! She was talking about it as if it were like a personality trait or some kind of style. All I could think was, she's not trying to be black, she is black! The nerve, I tell you!! And the part where she asked to borrow Brittany's jacket and Brittany said something to the effect of "sure, cuz you're special" and Miss The-World-Revolves-Around-Me Keenyah asks her to repeat it just because she liked to hear that... UGH!

I'm rooting for Naima, all the way. She was always my favorite. Btw, did anybody find Tyra's makeup last night kinda overdone? Like too much shading/contouring? Don't get me wrong, she still looked amazing!

 

[GoldieLox]

I didnt notice Tyras makeup being overdone but i TOTALLY agree with you guys about Keenya!

She drives me insane and she isnt even that pretty. Her jaw bugs me.. that might be just me tho haha. I deffinatly love naima and i like kahlen as well. i think that niama really needs to listen to what the judges are saying and show more personality because i can tell she has it in her.. and kahlen needs to believe that she is pretty because she is. all in all i think naima should win but i would be happy with kahlen too. And i wont say anything too much about last nights episode and why i was totally pissed off at who got kicked off because people from austraila and other places are alittle behind in their episodes than we are so i dont want to ruin it for them! but lets just say i was PISSED.

 

[odium]

i'm personally rooting for naima. they say they can't see who naima is, but i dunno...to me it's pretty evident. sure she's quiet, but that's part of her charm. she definitely doesn't go out seeking drama, which i like.

kahlen is a good choice too because she's very versatile, but she seriously needs to work on her confidence. because she isn't even really in the modelling world yet and she's already doubting herself.

p.s. i can't stand keenyah.

 

[mspixieears]

Hey GoldieLox, you're sweet, I don't mind ANTM being spoilt for me; I'm kind of surprised we're not super-behind with episodes like we usually are.

In the most recent episode that aired here, where Kahlen lost a friend and they had to do the 7 deadly sins pose, I noticed that the guest judge called Keenyah an all-American girl. Which is great for a couple of reasons:

1. yea, you don't have to be blonde and fair-skinned to be all-American (though I promise I have nothing against such persons, this is illustrative) - it means the definition of 'all-American' is broadening, and transcends colour! 2. I don't need to tell you guys that 'all-American' for the purposes of becoming a top model it would seem, translates into...boring! She'll get tossed for sure.

How dare Keenyah not respect Naima's black heritage - this reminds me of some stupid Anglo-Indian cousin of mine bitterly telling me I'm not dark enough to be one of 'them', because I'm light enough to pass as 'a white person'. What the hell's that supposed to mean? I'm still part-Asian-Indian by blood, moron.

Omg I was so offended by her actions!! Not even knowing if Nelson Mandela was alive or dead? OMG what an ass she is!! Shes gorgeous and all, but as far as role model I think we can all say big fat loser.

ITA it was SO rude of her to not even acknowledge Naimas heritage, or that both of her parents are part black! Ugh...I hate that holier than though crap from anyone!! To be so ignorant and be offended by being called ignorant is just ridiculous. /end rant

 

[Juneplum]

i am SOOOO with you goldielox!!! the person that was sent home should NOT have gone home!!

i was SOOOOOOOO pissed about that! i cannot BELIEVE she's gone and u know who is still there!!!!! almost makes me not wanna watch it next week but i know i will!

i hope "she" gets her come uppance next week!!! :twisted:

 

[jeanna]

YAYYY! Naima won! I was rooting for her the whole time... I still like Kahlen though. Sooo glad that Keenyah didn't make it to the finals, she was way to cocky...

 

[Juneplum]

woo hoo! i am SOOOOOOO happy she won (even tho we just spoiled it for mspixieears).. ita with u jeanna.. i am glad keenyah didn't make it to the finals.. she needed to GO!!!

 

[Shoe Crazy]

I felt bad for Kenyah because she really thought she had that in the bag! She didn't think she could be beat. I liked Kahlen all along but Niama did really well I just felt all along she was the obvious choice. The fashion show they did was awesome and you could tell Niama owned it! Hopefully an agency will pick Kahlen up I think she would be wonderful in the fashion world.

 

[misslexa]

i was rooting for kaheln, but naima is better than keenyah!!!

 

[mspixieears]

Goddamn, some of you are so sweet! I don't mind it being spoilt for me; I still enjoy watching the show, as it's about the journey...

I'm not really surprised to hear Naima won as she was consistently being told nearly each week that she was the one who was making the most progress.

Plus, you guys haven't spoilt it for me yet: the episode I saw, Michelle had just been eliminated, leaving Brittany, Keenyah, Naima & Kahlen. It would have been a tough few bunch of decisions eliminating from that group, except for Keenyah. But I don't know yet, will just have to watch...

It's nice that this forum is so respectful of 'internationals'. So many others seem so US-based, not to mean I have anything against the US, except that they have big-arse Sephora stores and we don't
