Canada's Next Top Model...

[ohayou]

opps didn't mean to double post, got impatient with the button.

When Brandi made the comment about Sisi not being canadian - and therefore not legitimately being part of the contest - I was incensed. I couldn't believe that somebody of filipino origin could make such a remarkably stupid and thoughtless comment. How would she have felt if people had said that to her parents when they came to the country? Doesn't she understand that thoughtless and disgusting comments like this probably plagued her parents when they first moved to Canada (only speculating). I reckon Brandi will be thoroughly chastised by her parents when they see that comment. Not only that but going through Sisi's closet, TRYING ON HER CLOTHES and mocking her accent?

Secondly, the other thing that bothered me was the whining about how Sisi had experience and so it wasn't fair. Now, i've seen this on ANTM as well, contestants complaining that they ' haven't had experience '. It is one of the most infuriating comments i've heard. ANYBODY, regardless of their monetary stature, regardless of whether they have been discovered, can learn to model. All you need is a disposable (or digital) camera, a mirror and some magazines, maybe some friends too. You study the magazines at home, you copy the poses, take photos, practice in the mirror. Do they think just because Sisi was discovered that instantly she became a good model? NO! She worked hard, she probably studied like crazy and that is why she is good, NOT because she has been around the circuit. People who complain just show that they are lazy, pure and simple. If Andrea wants to be good at modelling then she needs to work, study, work , study.

I'm so furious now

Brandi being Filipino doesn't even have anything to do with it. Anybody - white, black, Asian, whatever, it doesn't matter. Nobody should say it, because it's just stupid. As long as you're not Native Canadian, your family isn't from here.

The problem with girls like Brandi and Tenika is that they seem to hate themselves so, so much. It sucks, but the way they express this is by being horrible, jealous people.

Very good points about learning to model - if these girls are serious they need to learn, simple as that! You're so right.

Don't take these girls too serious, don't let them make you angry... Brandi is just dumb

 

[misssakura]

The only reason I mentioned her ethnicity is merely because it becomes hypocritical, as well as stupid, for saying those things. I had just finished watching the show, and because you can't physically berate somebody on a reality TV show, it is best to vent in text XD

And I hope Brandi goes to see somebody about her alcohol problem...

Lol!!!!!!!

I agreee completely, I remember Sisi saying she learnt the poses or finds new ones by looking at the magazine editorials, and she knew the other girls weren't doing the same. Nobody is going to guide you in modelling unless you cant come up with anything yourself!

If Andrea has no experience AND according to Sisi, doesn't practice by looking at editorials, then she's obviously a natural talent, because I think she has been amazing in her poses. And if that's natural talent, and this is just the begining then with a bit of experience she's going to get a lot better.

OMG!When Brandi brought out the whole"original Canadian" thing,I was like WTH R U TALKING 'BOUT,STUPID B*TCH?!I seriously wanted a slap in her face.
But by seeing that,I was very sure that she wouldn't win this thing,and yeah,she's kicked off right away,which is cool!!
I think Andrea looked great in the photoshoots,esp. this week's,but she seemed really weak in person.

I would just like to say that even the first Nation's people who are considered the first peoples of Canada actually migrated from the Asias some odd 10,000 years ago (I could be getting my year wrong though). I saw it on some Canadian documentary about first Nation's people.

So saying one is Canadian is basically saying you are a Canadian citizen. One doesn't have to be born in Canada to be Canadian, and even then, as others have said, one's parents may have been born outside of Canada, so the origin is not "Canadian". Basically, I agree with you all that Brandi was in the wrong and had no right to say such a thing

^ Very good points

So I didn't see the episode, did Brandi make this "Canadian" comment in front of the judges, or in front of who? And what was their reaction(s), if so?

Thanks

 

[mandarines]

I'm so glad Brandi is gone. She showed her ignorance
Alanna must not win. She is so blah
I love Sisi's personality. I hope she wins

She said it in a private scene, where it was just herself talking to the camera.
When she was booted off, she was quiet for a few seconds, then she said to the judges "you made a big mistake". They rolled their eyes!

I'm definitely catching the rerun on Tuesday

I thought Tricia was going to burst out laughing lol. she looked like she was struggling not to smile.

 

[misssakura]

Imagine a Top Model with Christy Turlington....she'd show Tricia and Tyra what its like to really be a beautiful top model. I don't personally like Tricia that much, I don't think she is anything particularly special, good for her on getting the BSG role, but she does seem a tad too smug for somebody who doesn't stand out in the crowd.

 

[anniechen]

I can see none of them none, it just has a modelporatl tag.

i'm so sorry! haha... do you still want to see them? just click here and search for 'tricia helfer'
