how many want to vote with me and say carmen_kass knows Tyra's elimination speech by heart!?

[sidda]

Oh we all are. The idea of a non-"normal" cycle is so vague and ridiculous for a model competition that no matter the category Tyra tries to throw at us it is most likely to end up so overly PC that it'll end up being whatever '-ist' there is, be it classist, racist, sexist, ableist, whateverist.

Hope for the best, Lol at the horrible ideas we have that could be the worst.

Yes, I could even hear Tyra's hushed, serious tone as I read it.

[carmen_kass]

^You certainly can, I can't watch it alone anyway, I get too over-excited, that's why I watch it on my phone on the way home from school, that way I know I can't start yelling on the train. It will be nice to have someone to yell with.

Two more shots of Kendal by Henry Lopez:

Kendal is up on the Wilhelmina website, under the Image division in New York (not the same division as Krista, Nicole, etc.)
She is under the name "Shay" and her measurements include: Height:5'11, Bust:32, Waist:25, and Hips:33.

Kendal looks stunning. But lol @ her changing her name.

[|PerfectTonight|]

Freaking goddess, 6' and 33 hips! BAM!

[Urban Stylin]

Kendall looks awesome not feeling the new name though

Kendal represents the biggest problem I see with ANTM. The show doesn't take girls who have obvious potential and nurture them into becoming good models. They make the girls take photos then decide to eliminate them if their photos suck. What modeling agency would turn away someone like Kendal if she walked in with that face and those measurements? They would sign her and get her some coaching and test shots.

I am guessing the agency had her do that in order to distance her from the show. I bet Shay is her middle name.

Lauren Brie (C11), Leslie (C6), Brittanny (C8), and Katarzyna (C10) all did the same thing. Even Eugena (C7) was originally signed to PhotoGenics under a different name.

As ags mentioned, during Cycle 1 Tyra was at every photoshoot giving (relevant) advice and showing the girls how to model and explaining what they were doing wrong. That's pretty much the only time that happened.

After Cycle 1, Tyra seemed to get caught up in the "Cinderella story" aspect of it and trying to make modeling accessible to everyone. It was less about the modeling and more about the drama. The ironic thing is that, IMHO, Cycle 1 was the best cycle because it had a balance of drama and modeling.

I don't have an issue with Tyra casting filler or dragging some contestants (Jade, Alexandria) along past their expiration date. However, it really would be nice if she kept the contestants that looked like models around longer. Neither Kendal (C15) nor Lauren Brie (C11) should have been let go so early.

The amazing thing is Tyra actually does have a good eye. Mollie (C6), Fatima (C10), Anya (C10), Lisa (C9) Katarzyna (C10), Kendal (C15), Jane (C15) and so on really have good looks. Why she could not select one of them as the winner, I will never know.
