America's Next Top Model: Cycle 6 Premiere

by Lacy Hall, posted Mar 9th 2006 2:33PM

mollie baldI always have mixed feelings about the Top Model premiere. While I always look forward to a new season of Top Model, the premiere feels too long. Two hours? I think that if they wanted to trim the fat a bit, they could seriously get it down to a hour and a half...at least. In fact, they should just get rid of that first hour all together. I don't care about the girls who get cut before making it to the house. I always think I care about them, but as soon as they are cut, I forget they exist.

Speaking of the house...

Holy stolen granola bars, they really went all out this year! I found the house absolutely spectacular. That atrium was gorgeous, and I loved the model-themed rooms. Although, I would feel like a total jackass if I got put in the general Top Model room. It just feels unlucky. And I think that the girls who picked the Christie Brinkley room are soon going to realize that it's hard to fall asleep with the soft blue glow of a 300-gallon fish tank right next to you. I see under eye bags in the future of those girls. And let's be honest, the house is more beautiful than any of the girls.

Well, I take that back. Nnenna? Is it even fair that she's in this competition? She is, without a doubt, an early favorite. But that could be a bad thing. At this point, she has a bullseye on her back and everyone is just waiting for her to screw up. One slightly sub par photo-shoot and I can already see Tyra putting her in the bottom two just to "make a point" that no one is safe. But, you do have to love her. Did you hear her backstory? At points, it made me want to cry, and at other times, it made me angry. But she didn't cry. Not a tear. I couldn't believe her strength. You can tell that she's a person who just focuses on what's in front of her. She doesn't feel sorry for herself. My only fear is that she has a lot of pain built inside of her and that at one point, it might all come out. If it does, hopefully it will be at a funeral-themed photo-shoot like the one Kahlen endured in Cycle 4. That way, she can use it to her advantage.

Let's gossip about the other troublemakers. Jade. This girl has the spunk of Lisa, but without the humor. The confidence of Janice, but without the self-humiliation. She's a bitch, but minus the fun. And an un-fun bitch is no bitch I want to be around. She is obviously a bully, and I don't like her. Luckily, she didn't take a very good picture last night, so she might not be around too long. The judges don't seem to care for her too much.

Gina is the other girl that really stuck out for me. She needs to get it together. She might be the first non-lovable airhead ever. She loves being Korean. She hates it. She hates Asian men. Oh, wait...Tyra didn't like that answer. Okay, she now loves Asian men. She needs to figure herself out. You know what, I actually don't care if she never figures herself out. I just want her to stop changing her opinion mid-sentence. It's really annoying. And why was she slamming that champagne? If you're going to stumble out of a restaurant drunk, at least take off your heels. It makes it a lot easier to drunkenly get into a cab.

tyra baldAs far as the photo-shoot, I loved it. I was so happy that they actually made them bald up top instead of down South like some predicted. It takes a lot of guts to go bald because all your flaws are revealed. Hell, I won't even tuck my hair behind my ears sometimes cause it makes me feel ugly. Tyra looked pretty good bald, but not beautiful. She does have a flawless face, but she looks a musical number away from adopting a redheaded orphan named Annie. Which makes me wonder -- does she do a test photo first before she decides on that photo-shoot? Cause if she looked ugly bald, I don't think this photo-shoot would have existed. 

But, oh man, some of those girls looked freaky as hell bald. (Furonda is an alien.) But then some of them looked gorgeous and that sorta pissed me off. You have to be hella pretty to pull off bald. I'm just happy that I now know what it would look like to see Denise Richards bald. Of course, Nnenna looked the best. But I thought that Wendy's was the worst. I know that she's from New Orleans and she has "sadness" in her eyes. But I thought it just looked like bad modeling. Bad bald modeling. She looked most like a mannequin to me. And I think it's sorta lame that Tyra keeps bringing up the point that Wendy isn't there "out of pity." It actually didn't cross my mind until Tyra brought it up 8,000 times, but now...I'm suspicious.

Next week, is my favorite show of the season -- the makeover show! Let the waterworks begin!

It's hard for me to fathom how anyone could like Jade! I was so happy to see her go on the finale. I couldn't get out of my head how she thought "she wasn't on their level." And even in the end she blamed the judges saying the reason they didn't pick her is because she's basically above the competition. I have to say I love ANTM and I was happy to see Danielle win it. I was kinda shocked myself they seemed to like Joni so much but I think Danielle was more beautiful and deserved it more.

Hey Juan baby!!! I know I slacked off, but I've been doing some serious celebrating.. I almost did a back flip when Jade the Evil Dragon Queen was booted!!! And of course because my girl Danielle is the Cycle 6 official next top model!!! OH YEAH!!! That little ole country girl was fierce throughout the whole competition & showed that one can be true to themselves without believing the whole world owed her something (i.e. Jade). And when her face popped up on the screen & she kept saying "I'm a Cover Girl" & was talking out loud calling her momma's name I was boo-hooing like I knew her for real!! But I won't discredit Joanie, she was very gracious & did a spectacular job. Juan, I was never against you saying that Jade is gorgeous, but I'm sorry she's still an unknown, she's not a Naomi or Iman, so all that attitude will continue to get doors shut in her face. Hey look her honey, I believe I'm Divaliscious Darling, but that doesn't mean I walk into a store & expect all to flock around & worship me. A little humility goes a long way & I hope if Ms. Jade didn't learn anything else, she learned that to thine own self be true. How about not announcing that you're the undiscovered super model everytime you step into a room, it didn't work the 1st 100x's, try a new approach. But this is one girl who is in 7th heaven, especially after being so disappointed by last cycle's winner, I was a Bree supported 100%. So until cycle 7 I'm out folks.. Holla @ you next season Juan.. Smooches

WOW!!!!! I am so surprised by some of the comments. In my opinion, I think Cycle 6 was one of the best, but then again, where are the models from the past? I've only seen Adrian (Cycle 1) once or twice, where in the hell is Yoana (Cycle 2) because the ONLY time I seen her was on the 'My Life As A Cover Girl' commercial. Eva tha Diva (Cycle 3) is doin the damn thang. She's doing everything and I think she's going to be the one to follow in Tyra's footsteps. Naima (Cycle 4) is so bland and boring. Nicole (Cycle 5) is okay, I would've preferred Nik. Danielle (Cycle 6) is AWESOME!!! I don't think her accent is as bad as they make it to be, but I think she's gonna blow up! She has the personality, motivation, drive, the whole package to take the world by storm. Although I didn't think her runway walk was all that powerful, I think the girl got the whole package!!!!! ANTM is one of my favorite shows and I can't wait until next season.........

Well I think tonight hopefully the outcome will not be a disappointment like season five. Still trying to render it into my skull. If we all cross our fingers Jade will go first and Joanie and Danielle will work it out. WORK IT GIRLS!

I like this final three, and after watching the marathon on Vh1, i like Danielle alot. Her personality is funny, she is so cute. I think the final 2 should be Danielle or Jade, with either of them winning. Joni is very beautiful, but i like tne other 2 better. The thing about JOni is, that as much as she dislikes Jade, she knows that is her competition, becuz from what i saw on the marathon, she tends to compete with Jade. Yes, Jade has an attitude, but like she said at the beginiing of the show, this is not American Best Friend. Jade take awesome pictures,and her body is the best of the 3. but, i don't think she will be in the final 2, becuz I think twiggy will keep her out, becuz every episode, Twiggy fawns over Joni, and shows tremendous dislike for Jade. I think Jade was basiscally saved thoses times in the bottom 2, becuz Ms. J and NIgel like her,and knows she takes great pictures. Joni takes good pictures, but when she is in elmination time, she does not look like a model, does not carry herself as a model.

I want to start off by saying "yes" to steffany's question. Hitting people with cell phones, doing cocaine, being drunk, showing naked girlz, girls all up on each other, this is what we see models doing on and off that show so please be realistic. Steff I don't mean to offend you but you sound like one of those "Wisteria Lane moms", always trying to blame other people for your concious mistakes as a parent! Kids will learn regardless, wether its from some model chick or the roadrunner kicking the coyotes ass! In a realness and this is for my girl Sandee since we are the only 2 pretty much on this, I LOVE JADE! I mean again I will say she is a bitch but give her a break she has been trying to do the damn thing for probably over a dacade now, she is so strong and ready to hit the world that she doesnt realize that she is dumbstruck and lost. Acceptance is all she needs and I dont mean from us, I mean from herself. And I wish Tyra would stop looking at her crazy and making fuked up comments, Tyra will always be HOLLYWOOD HOP! She is cool and I love her but Tyra honey we can tell Jade does to you what Mrs Campbell and Iman do , INTIMIDATE YOU ! Tyra sees how banging Jade is and it pisses her off to see someone not even famous be a bitch about it! Dont get me wrong I love Joni & Danielle so at this point I will be happy with any winner (which is more than i can say from other season) But let's admit it (everyone especially Sandee) LOL Jade is the perfect supermodel she is a gorgeous chick with banging features! Looking forward to this week and to reading ur comments Sandee!

Well we now bid farewell to Sara.. I think I've already forgotten her!! I know that sounds a bit nasty, but she didn't really stand out in any way to me.. We all know, she's incredibly tall & was discovered in a mall. Ok, I was over that quite a few episodes ago. Then last weeks pose stealing episode just really put her to the back of my mind. She's not on the level of the other girls.Yes, everyone record this for prosperity; not even as good as Jade. Sara reminded me of Leslie, there but not there, so when she was sent home, no big deal. I swear though each week I see Jade, I dislike her even more. She's evil, ignorant & obviously aware of her shortcomings & with whom she can try to intimidate. If she wins I boycott ANTM. I'm just praying my girl Danielle can somehow manage to get her Southern drawl under control.. Cuz in case you didn't know I'm 100% Danielle all the way.. In closing I would like to say....

DOWN WITH JADE!!!

Sandee! Please Honey stop wishing bad luck on my girl! Jade unfortunately is Jade by that i mean she needs to learn how to take direction ! But u have to admit she is cute and has a banging body her problem is that she doesnt know how to listen, and she has a big forehead lol .. I am glad Nenna went home she is not a good person u can tell by the way she spoke to that boi you can tell back home she might act nice but now when she hit a little big time the real bitch came out!

Well I guess no one must frequent this site too often, but oh well.. One question what in the world does Jade have to do to get put out? My Goodness!! I mean don't get me wrong, I didn't think Furonda should've been winning anything, but JADE?? For Christ sake she said that an elephant was related to a dinosaur!!!! Last I check an elephant is a mammal, nothing reptilian about an elephant. And my girl Danielle? Now she's a star for sure, if we could just get that accent handled, then maybe she'll truly be @ 100%. Well this girl is still keeping her fingers crossed that Jade will be out possibly next week.
