America's Next Top Model? First AJ now...?

Question

...Brooke? I thought her photos were good last night (are the photo shoot concepts silly this season or what?)! She made me so sad! Sent home on graduation night. Then Tyra goes and lectures her about how lucky she was to be there. I'm starting to hate Tyra. And is she looking used up or what this season? She looked like a sausage with messy hair at the judging. And why are Jaeda and Eugenia still around?! Is Tyra just keeping some token black girls around or what? They are both horrible and their attitudes stink! I'm SO tired of listening to Jaeda whine about her hair!! She looks better without it, in my opinion. I'm pulling for Caridee at this point. She's too good, though... she'll probably be next to go.

I'm digging the twins, too. What's going to happen if one of them goes, though? That will be weird! And, yes, Melrose... annoying! She looked messy last night, too. Anchal is beautiful but her whining is getting old too.

Answer 1

I feel the same way! I have always hated Tyra, just because she was an okay model back in the day doesn't mean she can chew poor Brooke out. I would be really sad if I had missed my graduation and got sent home on the same night! Her photos were great, sure the last one wasn't the best, but it was better than Jaeda's and Eugena's, combined. I feel that she is desperately holding on to the girls of color, even though they are not worth it. She has done the same thing in almost every cycle, and it is starting to make me mad! I am hoping for CariDee, too, but you are right she's too good and Tyra will eliminate her before she eliminates another black girl. By the way, Tyra did look really funny at judging, I laughed a little at first, she cannot pull of the old Hollywood glamor look anymore.

Answer 2

I was upset too, I thought that since A.J. was sent home Brooke probably is going to win. I notice that Tyra always send home someone that lacks personality, or drive then some one who has messed up pictures. She leaves them around so towards the end when every thing gets hard she can eliminate the girls easier. I love tyra know matter what happens because she smart and intelligent. Plus she claims they vote. She may had wanted Brooke to stay but got out voted. The twins do take good photos but neither of them can walk, Also Anchal I like her but she needs some confidence.Caridee is good I like her over Melrose,Jaeda got to go.

Answer 3

I agree with you that AJ shouldn't have gone home, I actually thought that she'd win this season. I think that it was time for Brooke to go home, though. She's a cute girl, but not really a "top" model type.

I also like Anchal, but don't think she'll win due to her lack of confidence in herself. I think that Caridee has the most potential, but I also like Amanda and Michelle (the twins). I think that Amanda would be a better model than her sister, so I hope it comes down to Caridee and Amanda.

As for Jaeda, she needs to quit complaining about her hair, there's nothing she can do about it now, and Eugenia needs to work on her attitude because it is horrible. As long as one of those two girls goes home next week, it'll be okay.

And Melrose...she is annoying, but she was kinda funny when she was acting like Donald Trump the previous week. I'd like to see her go home after Eugenia and Jaeda.

Answer 4

I was in front of the TV shocked last night...Brooke's photo taken by Tyra was one of the best, and I thought last night was one of the best nights she had have. Tyra looks fat this season. Jaeda is awful and needs to shut up about her hair (should have gone home in week 2 or 3)...Eugenia acts like she doesn't want to be there...Caridee is my favorite by far. I also like the twins...I must say that above everyone mentioned in this answer, Melrose is one of my least favorite models to ever be on this show (shes up there with that really annoying girl from cycle 5)....I CANT STAND THE WAY MELROSE SUCKS UP!

Answer 5

This is the worst season of Top Model ever!!! I hated Tyra last season. Now I just spend each episode hoping that one of the studio lights will fall on her or that somebody will set her weave on fire. And yes, Tyra looks like a sausage. I don't know why Jaeda and Eugena are still around. Neither of them has taken one single good picture. And I am soooo tired of listening to Jaeda b*tch about her hair. Brooke has taken really good pictures and it was totally wrong for them to send her home on her graduation night. And Tyra's little speech was totally assinine. At this point I just want the season to be over.

Answer 6

why does everyone keep saying they are pulling for "the twins" ??? only ONE of them can stay, and one will eventually go home, if not both. i do agree with you that Jaeda and Eugena dont have enuff spirit for the competition, but i disagree about Brooke. it was time for her to go. she had a wonderful personality, but thats not what the competition is about. The whole " black " thing with Jaeda and Eugena may be obvious, but they LOOK like top models. Tyra is trying to give them the confidence they both need, by giving them a chance to correct themselves. brooke already had all that, but she wasnt ready for the competion, and her pictures sometimes looked very innocent. she's 18! she took the chance and stayed up until grad day. i agree with Tyra that she cant act like she was so dedicated to the competition, and then cry about missing her grad day for it...its win or lose. the competition is based on which girls will survive in the industry. they have to be the best all around. Caridee is good, and Melrose is not that pretty to me. she kinda looks like a skinny street girl with makeup on. in my opinion, Anchal is the prettiest, but she just lacks confidence. i want her to win though...she is really exotic looking and different. You can hate on Tyra for it, but she is actually kinda bitchy sometimes to the girls to keep it real with them. nobody is gonna cut them slack for being sweet in that industry. you have hot pictures or you dont, you can walk the line, or you cant. these girls have to look like a top model without makeup and just in everyday clothes...some do...and those are Jaeda, Anchal,Eugena,Caridee, and maybe one of the twins (who look a bit boring at times, and if i saw them on the street i wouldnt see a model). Brooke was just a cute girl. thats it, plain and simple.

Answer 7

I am getting tired of everyones whining. Caridee is good, but she needs to quit complaining about Melrose. Melrose wins a great prize is happy about it, Caridee has to complain about it and say well I wouldn't want to do that anyway. Maybe she shouldn't be a model... If Caridee wins this whole thing I could see her at some point turning into Naomi Campbell when she can't have her way or isn't the best at something.

Answer 8

I agree with Ajam. Melrose really did steal the show last night (and, yes, i can't stand her, although she was a bit more reserved last night). i was shocked that aj was sent home, i actually thought that she'd win the whole thing. I'm rooting for caridee, anchal (sp?), or one of the twins (preferably amanda, but i think most of the judges prefer michelle). I'd be shocked if Jaeda isn't sent home next week, but who knows what tyra is thinking, maybe someone else will piss her off or give her attitude and she'll keep jaeda again.

Answer 9

I completely agree with you. I was so disappointed when Eugenia was not sent home. I think Tyra has gone isane and it almost seems that Jaeda and Eugenia are being kept because then there wouldn't be any black models. However, I am still and will always pull for Anchal!

Answer 10

I work part time as a critic/reviewer for top model. Here were my thoughts:

Season 7, Episode 6
The Halloween spirit
The girls are back for more fashion and fun. Halloween is right around the corner and the girls are showing off their blend of sexy and scary in a quirky photo shoot. With creepy contact lenses, vampire-like makeup, and teased hair, they have to strike scary poses while still maintaining a sexy, model appearance. Tyra took the photos.



A fine line
As the girls are coached on being sexy, they are warned that there is a fine line between sexy and sleazy. They are given props and a few minutes to move around on a stage while exuding sex appeal without acting like a stripper. Melrose and Caridee turn up the heat a bit much. Melrose looks as if she needs to find the nearest pole and collect some tips while Caridee moves around on stage in a short skirt, her panties in plain view.



Where is the confidence?
Whether it's Jaeda complaining about how she feels totally unsexy with her cropped hair or Anchal moaning about her weight, viewers can't help feeling like giving these girls a quick kick in the butt.
Where is the confidence? Do these girls really think they can make it as models if they constantly feel they aren't pretty enough to succeed?



Table-top runway
It's time to show off the newfound sexiness. The girls are the entertainment for an elite dinner party and the dinner table is a makeshift runway. Once again, Melrose stole the show. She was just the right mix of sexy and chic and won the challenge. Her reward was an editorial spread in Seventeen magazine. She was told she could choose three girls to take along. She quickly selected Michelle, Amanda, and Brooke.



Big sacrifices
Brooke misses her high school graduation as she pursues her modeling career. Her parents send her a box filled with graduation decorations and a diploma.



Hello, Fabio
The girls are taken to a new photo shoot. They are to pose as heroines on the covers of romance novels with Fabio as their costar. Jaeda fails to impress in her scene as someone bitten by a vampire lover. She looks as if she detests Fabio. Eugena is a secret lover caught in the act and has the perpetual blank, emotionless look in her eyes. Michelle has a secret love child, and her photo is boring at best. Caridee really nailed her shoot as a peasant with a rich man. Melrose was in her element as a madam in a brothel. Anchal commanded her photo as a beautiful Cleopatra who outshined Fabio. Brooke was mediocre as a girl desperate for her man to stay with her.



A teary goodbye
Surprise, surprise. Jaeda finally wasn'¢t in the bottom two no thanks to her disappointing photo with Fabio. She took a great shot with Tyra which was probably her salvation. The bottom two girls were Brooke and Eugena. I felt myself holding my breath. Don't let Brooke get voted out when she just misses her high school graduation, I thought. Get rid of boring, bland, dead expression Eugena.



Second week in a row surprise
They surprised me again this week. Last week, my jaw dropped with A.J.'s abrupt elimination. This week, I felt a lump form in my throat as Brooke was eliminated. As she burst into tears and the other girls reached out to embrace her she cried, "I missed my graduation." She made a quick recovery, pasting on her trademark smile and exiting with class. Tyra wished her future success in the modeling industry.
