America's Next Top Model Cycle 8...

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

... 2 hour premier tomorrow! Who else will be watching (I'll be downloading as soon as it's available!)

[amber]

I am very, very excited. The models look kind of boring, though, but I'm sure it will still be good and I will change my mind once I see them.
The add campaign has been insufferable. :laugh: "Beauty's not just fierce...it's ferocious". :rolleyes:

Suck it, Tyra.

But seriously, I love the show. I have been planning my classes for a long time so that I don't have any on Wednesday.:laugh:


:blob2: :blob2:

tomorrow will be the best day ever. I'll be done with my speech, and ANTM will be on.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I'm glowing with anticipation.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Anyone got any faves yet? I finally was able to watch it online today... not made my mind up who I'm rooting for yet!

[mikeschmike]

Aww nuts, I forgot this was on last week! Hopefully they have a good recap before the new ep this week.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

You can watch it on youtube!

[Livia]

I watched - I love this show! :thumbsup:

No favorites yet, but I can tell you who I do NOT like. Meow.

I can't stand the blonde pixie-cut photographer chick who already thinks she's better than everyone else.

I also can't stand the mom from Hawaii - she's gonna play that, "I have a kid, so I have more to risk" card every chance she's got.

I can't wait for the makeover show, that's always my favorite!

[amber]

My favorite girl left first. :( She was cool and spunky, and very pretty I thought. Funny, too. She also seemed nice. It seems like that happens every time, my favorite goes first.
It was this girl. She had the best lips ever. Her Brooklyn accent was cute, too. I love that she was a black girl with punk style.

^^^ I liked her too. But she was dumber than a door nail. I mean, beyond "model" dumb. :D

^^^ I liked her too. But she was dumber than a door nail. I mean, beyond "model" dumb. :D

that's what they said, but I didn't see that except for when she was in front of the panel and told them that she didn't understand Jay's direction. Did you see her being really dumb before that? Also, I think some more of them will prove to be hella dumb, they just aren't as vocal as she is. lol. But she was nice and cool, which a lot of dumb models are not. It's sad, because she was probably just mostly not well educated, rather than naturally dumb.

I wasn't really into that burping out loud thing that she does, though. But the Russian chick was still a biatch about it.
I would have liked to see the white plus size model girl go - I totally like her, but after seeing her face in photographs, I don't think she photographs well AT ALL.

[Livia]

She didn't know how to pose for her anti-fur ad - they threw out a couple words she didn't understand - I think "proactive" was one of them.

And you heard at panel, right? "Iss okay to take the fur off an animal once day is already day-ed, right? I mean, animals fight each other in the jungle, don't day?"

I did think her Rosie Perez accent was cute.

Oh yeah, the Russian chick. Another one I already don't like.

I agree with you on all points!! :nod:

[foxyluva]

We have only just started cycle 7 here, so I will have to wait until the end of 2007 before this cycle airs :(

Watch online?? I normally download but couldn't find the first two episodes of season 8 on any of the torrent sites.. then found it on youtube! Season 7 is def available for download... and also on youtube!

Yeah, that's right, but all that just said to me that she was uneducated. I mean, if no one teaches you where fur comes from, how are you supposed to know? She seemed to have a good heart, just not a good education.

[JazmenFlowers]

I don't know why but I'm not excited about ANTM anymore. maybe if I watch I'll catch the fevahhh...

[ontheEdgeof17]

I don't know why but I'm not excited about ANTM anymore. maybe if I watch I'll catch the fevahhh...

But Oz's Top Model starts tonight on VH1:woohoo:

[amber]

Okay. I think the Renee girl is really pretty, but she is a snarky biat. I'm sick of her mad and pouty at the same time face. Like "she only did good because blah blah excuse blah". :rolleyes: I think she's gorgeous, though, I hope she straightens up.

Jael is obviously the coolest one. I don't get why they keep raving about that Brittany girl, I think she is the uggest one. I guess she photographs okay, but still, fug.

I still hate Miss J. They want the models to act right, but Miss J. can be a huge a**hole? mmkay. And a new ruffle for every model that leaves? WTF? Lame.

Jaz, don't get your Model Malaise all over me! :mad: :laugh:

ooo, next week is makeover week.

[Livia]

In this week's Target supplement, page 2, I'm pretty sure one of the girls is who just got booted. Isn't it? Third from the left:

http://weeklyad.target.com/target/default.aspx?action=entryflash&ref=sc_iw_l_0

Brittany's eyes are a little too far apart and she's got a broad nose. Regardless, she takes great photos.

Jael is awesome! Did the wardrobe person totally rip-off Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club or what? :lol:

Yep... that looks like Samantha

[Janet]

Yeah, Renee is a bitch but she's really pretty. I think she's the best.

I like Jael too ...I really hope she sticks around just because she's different.

The Latin girl...its amazing how good her pics are. I am surprised.

Oz's top model is on tonight...I may like this one better just because they seem to appreciate it more. I mean, they played with the bathtub for like 10 minutes. The American girls are like .." oh this is cool" and their place is like 100 times nicer.

Did you guys hear about this?

'Top Model' Designer Accused of Rape
Wednesday, Mar. 14, 2007 By AP/DAISY NGUYEN

A celebrity fashion designer who has appeared several times on "America's Next Top Model" has been charged with sexual assault and rape involving two women and a 15-year-old girl, authorities said.

Anand Jon Alexander, 33, was charged with six felonies accusing him of a series of sexual assaults between October 2004 and March 5, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.

The Indian-born designer, who goes by the name Anand Jon, was arrested at his Beverly Hills apartment on March 6 after a woman accused him of rape, authorities said Tuesday. "Subsequently, additional evidence led us to other victims," said Lt. Mitch McCann, a spokesman for the Beverly Hills Police Department, which is investigating the case.

The charges include forcible rape and lewd acts on a child. Prosecutors have also charged a special circumstance allegation of multiple victims. If convicted, he faces a maximum of life in prison.

Alexander's attorney denied the allegations. "He absolutely contends he didn't break any laws with respect to the contact he had with these women," attorney Ronald Richards said.

Alexander was being held in lieu of $1.3 million bail pending a March 19 hearing, Richards said.

Considered an up-and-coming designer in the fashion world, Alexander launched his fashion line in 1999 after graduating from the Parsons School of Design in New York. He has dressed such celebrities as Paris Hilton, Michelle Rodriguez and Mary J. Blige.

This year, Newsweek named Alexander a person to watch. The magazine cited his plans to launch a high-end jeans line and an upcoming reality show on VH1. He also has made several appearances on Tyra Banks' modeling competition "America's Next Top Model."

Richards said his client met one of his accusers online after she expressed interest in working with him. "When you have people desperate to be in fashion, they get upset when you don't place them where they want to be," he said, adding that his client was involved with many different women.

"When you deal with a large amount of women, you're going to have potential false allegations made against you," Richards said.

Immigration authorities have placed a hold on Alexander and will take custody of him after local authorities complete their prosecution. Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said she had no immediate information on Alexander's immigration status, but added most holds occur when officials believe someone is in the country illegally.

Richards said his client came to the United States on a professional work visa.

^I don't remember seeing him on the show. :shrug:




....how good are these girls? Their picks are rocking!@#!

[amber]

I'm glad that Renee did the best this week, I really want her to win. I think she is by far the prettiest. Loved her little meltdown, too. :laugh: But then, after she had the meltdown, she was way better.

I'm suprised that really cute girl got cut, though. I think they should cut one of the plus size girls. Neither of them has taken a very good picture.

[JazmenFlowers]

I watched the last 2 episodes and I that Jael girl? um, ewww. everything from her voice to the way she looks. gross. and the rest of the girls explain why I don't watch it anymore.

but I do agree that Renee is the best looking. I like Brittany too.

What?!?! These girls are taking the best pictures I have ever seen from ANTM. Any of them could win.

I love Jael, she's the coolest one. She's actually nice, and a free spirit. Her cheekbones are killah. I hate her voice, too, though. But, meh. She has a funky little sense of style. I dunno, she totally reminds me of people I would know, or see around.

Brittany, brittany...oh, the whiny one that I think is fug, but that always takes good pics. Yeah, I don't like her, I think she is whiny and fug. :laugh:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Anyone still watching??!! Jaslene to win!!

[Livia]

Yes, I'm still watching - and ITA - Jaslene for the win! She rocked the last challenge!

Too bad the poor girl doesn't know that the proper phrase is, "calm, cool, and collectED." Not "collectIVE." :laugh: Still, she's the Liza Doolittle of ANTM. I love her!

[JazmenFlowers]

I'm half-ass watching this, but add me to the Jaslene fanclub. bitch is awesome!

[amber]

I was checking in, and I couldn't resist. Because I love this show. "Against all Odds" I love this show. I'm not saying it's right, or that other people should love it. Just saying. Awesome show.

Okay, bitches, Jazleen. In usual fashion, everyone disagrees with my choice. Don't care.


Renee all the way. Also, she should drop the "NeNe", it's totally lame. Because she is actually very serious, not lighthearted like a "NeNe" would be.

But otherwise, I swear I've never seen a more gorgeous girl, besides Stevie. Renee is the the hottest thing going.
Jazleen - yeah, sometimes she rocks the photos. Lots of time. But...she always has too much jaw for me (if that aint the pot calling the kettle black) and looks like...drag. Plus, she is kinda hella dumb. I appreciate her open, friendly attitude - but she still seems a bit lacking.
However - she is really nice, and does take mostly good photos, and has a body like a hanger - I do really think she would be a good model if everyone could control her manly jaw.


But Renee - it looks like she will get herself into bitchy trouble next week, again, from being drunk. lol. Like she's controlled her "bitch" the past few weeks, but her calculating side is about to make another appearance. I assume everyone has seen the previews, where she is shown saying, buzzed, "**** the cameras, we all know who we have to get rid of" about Natasha, cause Natasha is sick this week, left at home. And Natasha is a threat.

I for one look forward to Renee showing her bitch colors again (although for the competition I wish she wouldn't, very much, but for sick viewer pleasure, I can't wait. Hey, I'm only human. Plus she was drinking, so I understand. lol.) Still though, she shouldn't be bitchy because she is the hottest one there. Okay, I have decided I am sad at her unneeded bitchiness-every time someone "bitches out", they get sent home. And she shouldn't be.

And, to conclude, that is why I vote for Renee. She can do catalogue AND high fashion, and I think she is the sexiest and most beautiful. And she knows how to behave in public, and also is kinda smart. She can "do" sophistication. Jazleen would be a deer caught in headlights - although a pleasant deer. Also she (Renee) is the best actress, which is very important. That totally won my heart, her acting. It was real and good.
Sure, she's moody, and bitchy sometimes - and conniving - but I would love to see her pictures around. She is so sexy, IMO, that I have a girl crush on her. A real one. lol. I can't get enough of her face. And I mean, when I am watching the show. i don't spend non show hours on her face. I simply think she is the most gorgeous one. Plus the best actress, which biases me. And lets not forget the minor point of her having a child yet still looking fab - flat tummy, no stretch marks, boobs are fine - how the hell did she manage that?! Sure, people shouldn't get prizes cause they do pregnancy well, but it is still astonishing. I have the hottest friend ever, and she still had obvious signs of pregnancy afterwards. Ones that would preclude her from ever being a model. C'mon. Renee is rocking it. With short hair she can be edgy or catalogue or anything, with long hair she can be men's mag or women's mag.
Again, she's simply the most gorgeous, sexy one.
Aaaand, I'm out. And yes, clearly I shouldn't be thinking that much about this show. But ****, I don't have cable, gimme some slack. hehehehe.

And even though she can be bitchy, I think she would make a better impression in person than Jazleen. Again, Jazleen, lovely, nice, but kinda hella dumb. Not so dumb she couldn't have a great career, though. Her body literally looks like a hanger, and she rarely photographs badly.
I vote for cowinners, Renee and Jazleen. lol.

I do agree with what you have said about Renee. She is my second choice to win!

[golden braid]

I think Natasha is going to win but my vote would go to Renee for the win. I think she is naturally the prettiest one in the group. Jaslene takes some good photos but she seems to have a lack of expression in a lot of them and I don't really like her looks. She's seems too thin and her face is too square like for me.

[JazmenFlowers]

I do love Renee's look, but hate her personality.

I like Natasha a lot, but I don't think she's model material.

[Karlie]

My favorites were Sarah and Jael, but they both got kicked off. Now I'm rooting for Renee. I absolutely despise Jaslene. I like Natasha, but as JazmenFlowers said, she's not model material. Dionne is really pretty but she doesn't have much of a personality.
