Jason, I think we need to talk some more about La Streisand, you know just as much as I do!

I missed this. Next week is Model and Runway--so can't wait....

I watched Cycle 6 last weekend. I had no idea who the winner was. I was surprised it was Danielle. Is she successful now??

They showed her doing a Cover Girl spot during last week's episode - I imagine they'll keep showing those, as they have w/ the previous winners. Her diction has definitely improved!

yeah, I was like "oh, she's been practicing". I thought she sounded mostly fine the way she talked before - she's southern, she's black, and I thought she sounded charming. She still has some accent, though, which I am glad to see. She wasn't the brightest bulb sometimes, though - didn't know what a lot of things meant. But I'm really glad she won, she was very cool. Not like, over the top, "I'm so cool", but just laid back and easy going cool.
I'm happy she mastered the talking thing, b/c it seems like during the show, that was tough for her. They would tell her every week, but at the time she seemed a bit incapable of refining her speech. I don't know if she practiced, (I would hope so since they told her all the time) but I didn't see much "improvement" during the show.

I'm kinda on the fence about the whole accent thing. It's not like she cussed, or employed super undecipherable ebonics or anything. She was just a nice southern black girl with the according accent. I know people who sell products want their models to sound kind of uniform - California TV accent - but there's a whooooole other country here besides Cal, and I don't think it is a problem to represent those different accents. Like I said before, I would probably place the line at super undecipherable ebonics, (for you ebonics defenders, that is fine, but sometimes I can't understand people. lol.) or hella cussing, but otherwise I think accents are fine.

I thought Danielle was really gorgeous, too. A little short on different expressions, but very long on looking great and modely in every pic.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I missed the makeover! Came in at 8:30. Makeover is the best. I came in right with B*tch girl and the phone fight.
The best thing that came out of that was someone saying "Kiss my grits"
Too ad that b*tch girl is so pretty on camera.

Who was the one Jay totally b*tched out during makeover? Where he's all "You're insulting Tyra!!!". I saw that on the commercial.

[TwistedGypsy]

I think the elimination should have been the other way around. Even with Jaeda's new haricut her face does nothing for me.
And Monique is one crazy bitch!

Regarding the makeovers, I've said this every cycle. If I was one of those girls and a hairstylist, who probably charges $100 or even more, to do my hair for free I'd say GO AT IT! If you think my hair would look good purple, green and red do it. You're the expert.
Bunch of damn babies!

[Livia]

B*tch girl (Monique) should have gone home tonight!

Well, you didn't miss much w/ the makeover, but you can catch the rerun. Lots of complaining, mostly from the tall, masculine looking girl - prettiest in her school. The one they gave a pixie.

The goth girl, w/ the black hair who already HAD a pixie cut, complained about her hair not being dark enough. They went from jet black to brown on her, so wtf?

The twins - one of them was supposed to get fire engine red, but they both ended up w/ the same, ginger red.

What on earth was Miss Jay wearing at the judging? A waitress outfit?

He was just talking to all the girls that bitched and moaned about their hair. Like one of the girls was crying "cause ain't nobody seen her without her tracks!"
Like I said above, damn babies.

Which one was that? Which girls bitched? They kept showing AJ right after he said that on the commercial, but it couldn't have been her b/c her hair is already hella short.

Note: I always love seeing Twiggy, she reminds me of Christine. hehe.

ooo, they totally did cute Anshal's hair! It's still way, way long though. So no big.

[Livia]

^^^ Yes, whiny-ass b*tches! The thing is, they basically get made over for every photo shoot - tonight's episode was a perfect example - so why do they act like their new hair is permanent, like a tattoo?

[amber]

Whoa, I thought Megan's shot was way better than what they said. Worst of the bunch? Hardly.

Okay, who will tell me who b*tched?

[Livia]

Jaeda b*tched about them chopping her hair off - but she wasn't as big of a baby as the pageant girl who got kicked off last season

Goth girl (AJ?) b*tched a lot - after they finished her hair, she was complaining that it wasn't dark enough

Another girl, I forget which one, was having a meltdown because they were removing her weave - to give her ANOTHER one! That's who the Jays were lecturing the most at first, and then talked to a group of them.

[amber]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! They kicked of Megan over Jada? And a bunch of others? Oh, the injustice, oh, the humanity. So, so wrong. So very wrong.

Thanks, Livia. Wow, I'm suprised AJ bitched. I know who you mean who got the new weave - the AFA girl who isn't Naomi or Jada. She's pretty. Eugenia, I think her name is. Kinda snotty.

last night's show was pretty typical of the makeover episodes. you'd think they'd learn from previous shows not to bitch so much. I'd send each one that bitched home. no questions asked. I didn't think they really did enough with the makeovers. Anchal is so freaking pretty.
