eww Melrose...i hated her!

I do too think that Anya will win ... I don't really like Whitney .. shes pretty and all but she does seem VERY fake .. i'd love to see a plus size model to win .. but nah .. def not whitney .. ACTUALLY .. the plus size model from season 8 .. i think her name was Whitney too .. i did like her alot

Both Whitneys are incredibly pretty!!!

anya's so sweet! i love her because she's one of the few girls not to shittalk everyone else and she seems like a genuinely sweet person, albeit a little airheaded.

^ agreed. she's been my fav through out. i think she's gorgeous and just her personality makes her seem that much more appealing.

I love how high fashioned she is (without being ugly). But I wonder how she'll look in a CoverGirl ad, not that I think that is necessarily a success/fail for a model anyway, but for the competition...

I actually liked Melrose, and was sort of disappointed that Caridee won (although I also liked Caridee as well). There's something about Melrose that always won me over -- maybe it was the fact that she actually knew how to do her job, even with all the perks of being a model. At first glance, yeah, of course I thought she was a stuck up, snobby little twat. But after I looked at her from a whole different perspective, she became one of my favorites in that season. :)

I agree with Melissa and Deb. Anya is so sweet. :) Besides Katarzyna, I've liked her throughout, as well. Although I am rooting for Whitney, her being a plus-size and all.

I'm having a bad feeling that Anya's going to f**k up the commercial.

^She almost kinda did.
But Whitney won btw,
I'm not completely thrilled, cuz I think Anya deserved it, but hey its the first girl with a booty to win.

yeah, i know. i saw it and wasn't very happy.

i mean, i personally thought her walk sucked. i actually heard that she was going to win before watching the finale; something about shit being rigged. whatever. i'm so over antm now.

anyone watch last night? whitney won, and i was so excited. any other fans?? how do you think being a plus-sized-top-model would work in a industry full of skinny girls? i mean, i know there are lots of plus sized girls, but what about TOP models?

I don't really pay attention to models I think that it's good though that there have been changes made about not having stick thin models in shows. The sad thing is though, the plus size models are considered the average woman off the runway.

fashion?

i missed it =[

I wouldn't be surprised if it were rigged... I think Tyra is too concerned about the girls being role models than actual successful working models. Whitney would still do a good job though, but in the past... eww, bad choices.

I preferred Anya because of her personality and overall ability to work more. I'm not entirely sure of how much ANTM models actually make an impact on the fashion world. The plus sized industry in general is a lot less fashionable, but there have been a few changes. I think Jean Paul Gaultier used all "normal" people in his show a few years ago...

why is this here?

Are you kidding me? We are up to the double digits now?


god, my only hope is that the ANTM will start being more critical and realistic about the models working in the industry. If not, then they stop being great after season 4.

I was pissed Kat should have won... fatima 2nd and anya 3rd god damn i hate whitney

my favorite was katarzyna (i know i spelt it wrong. idk how to spell it) i wish she won =/

Sometimes, I am amazed that this show is still on, but then I realize, that it feeds into what the American people want.

Exactly
Anya =[

^agreed. anya deserved it. whitney just doesn't cut it for me.

If you think about ti realistically, Whitney'll have few commercial jobs and maybe do something on TV, but she's not gonna book a lot of run-way shows for any big-named designer. It's sad to think about it, but the high fashion world is still very stuck on the size six and skinny girls.

I don't think any of the models that one have won made it big. I've seen Ya Ya in a couple of commercials on TV but that's about it even though she didn't win the show either. None of them have "really made it". It's not like I've seen any of them in a Gucci ad. Too me it's just pure entertainment.

Yes they have; not necessarily the winners; I talked to some Ford Models last summer & they'll tell you that the winners don't really do anything after a while...YAYA has done well for herself...She has been starred in a movie on lifetime & appeared in other movies & now she has a recurring role on All My Children & she's been in a lot of National Ads, Mercedes has appeared in ads as well...Eva drifted toward the entertainment industry, along with Tocarra; they are all over BET & in videos...I mean if you're not necessarily looking for them then you won't see them & that's any model unless they have a major name for themselves...Bre's in ads & appears in shows as well, also the girl Adrienne I believe, the one that was friends with Eva until they fell out appeared in Made of Honor...so yea, models are everywhere, you just have to know who they are for yourself in order to spot them. Honestly breaking out into acting & commercials is better than print modeling b/c the agency only takes 15% instead of 20% & they are higher paying jobs than a runway gig or print ad...Gucci doesn't validate whether someone's made it big or not...Alot of those designers are extremely selective & go for one look only & I'm not even gonna go into that...

Anyway as far as Whitney winning, it was some BS, tehy just did it to say they gave a plus size model a real chance...I think it'll be just like the other winners honestl...In my eyes Fatima would've won if it was between Anya & Fatima like it should've been but they didnt' want that so they switched it up...Anya sounds like she just got off a boat somewhere & her accent; fake or real, irks me, so I'm glad she didnt win

Even though I love modeling & auditioned for the next cycle I wonder the same thing...it's becoming too redundant; you've seen one, you've seen them all...The outcome of the winner is always the same...they really don't do much in the end if you even pay much attention to them afterwards

I thought the same thing. I was unbelievably shocked when I saw Whitney's name come up on the screen! I immediately thought it was just because Tyra wanted a plus size model (which she's stated in the past) to win ANTM. *shrug*

I think the voting is rigged. But I think someone has said that before. I think they should make it so the viewer can pick the winner.

agreed! that would make the competition so much more interesting.

Then it would all just be a popularity contest, and nothing short of picking based upon talent. Someone like, say, Lauren might end up being ANTM if the judges had no say in it.

i say it should be a 50-50. judges can pick the bottom two and the viewers can choose who can stay.. i d k...

Sorta like Dancing with the Stars? xD

sorry. i searched and nothing came up so someone can close it if they feel inclined.

& yeah, it seems repetitive, but i'm a mindless VH1 junkie and spend a lot of time watching antm reruns and i love the 80s..

this should go here

^^ I think that's where the last person sent me, but i'm okay if anyone wants to close it now.

^lol.
i would i don't have that power since i'm on DS.
but hopefully someone on PS will see this

^ How about you be proactive about it and PM someone on People Staff instead of "hoping" they'll see it?

It's been six and a half hours, and I'm amazed that nothing has been done.

moved to movies/tv


I would merge this with another topic for ANTM but I don't see one recent enough, so this will due.

I completely agree. Just because America's Next Top Model broke the norm, doesn't mean that the rest of the fashion industry is going to follow in their footsteps.

I think Anya was really good too, she takes hella good pictures. Her accent and that hella low whispery voice of hers would get to me though.

Completely agree. And Heather would have won the cycle before.

oh oh! Kinda like Make Me A Supermodel? Both the Uk and U.S. versions did that.

that lesbian VJ's on mtv nao, right?

Yeah she is. She actually sounds kind of girly now.

I find it a bit odd that out of the 3 girls who were never in the bottom 2 in their time on the show, only one actually won her cycle.

Also, Amsterdam as the foreign location for cycle 11 is pretty cool. Bring on September.

I hope they do some interesting photoshoots this season. I've been kind of bored by the ones they've been doing lately.

My favorite in Top Model had to be the seven deadly sins shoot, and the final photoshoot from the first season with the oil and the diamonds. It was SO fierce!

:3

^ I liked the music theme this past cycle. Mainly because i LOVED Whitney's shot, and Kat's

Also I just felt bad for Kahlen in the Deadly Sins shoot... Ugh, I loved Brittany that cycle. Favourite contestant of all time.

I loved Brittany too! I can relate to some people when they say they hate Brittany because of her personality- but she's damn photogenic!

they're probably gonna do 13 seasons of antm, then have the 14 season with all the winners and name the show "america's next top super model" :D

I loved her personality, though! At least she had one, I mean, COME ON!

Lol. I always seem to love the girls with the 'bad' personalities. I loved Jenah, too.
