Re. Rick's comments: I agree with #2 (except we don't know how she personally feels about "teh gays") and #3 and "crpt&drpsmtch's" reply to #4 and agree with everything that "I miss my stars!" said.

I kept wondering why Dom didn't just take her blanket and pillow and go sleep on the couch. Obviously asking Claire, Whitney and Lauren to stop wasn't working. They were like school kids with the gang mentality, bonding through a common enemy. That can't be reasoned with.

Is Dom the only one with an alarm clock? Does anyone else have one that can be used? Would Dom allow someone else to program her alarm? Compromise, people!

Don't they realize that millions of people are judging them each week and that they themselves will be watching the play back in a couple of months? Show some maturity. Present solutions to problems that don't result in violence or verbal attacks. But wait, that makes for more interesting TV, until it gets old.

I think Claire and Aimee got screwed. Claire's get-up was ridiculous. Her hair looked like Betty Crocker with a side of Stepford Wife rather than country, IMO. I missed the part where they show which girl was assigned which genre. Did they actually select these for themselves? Rhythm and Blues could not have been less appropriate for Little Miss Mormon White Bread. What would she have had to draw on for the Blues inspiration - the day the family dog died?

Anya didn't have to do anything except stand there. I agreed with Jay that the makeup and hair did all the work. I thought Stacey Ann was the weakest, simply because she is showing us the same face every week. However, I do support your Vote for the Worst approach to Fatima and Dominique. Fat and Dom all the way!

I was disappointed to see the bitchy side of Claire. I thought she was the most mature and centered one in the bunch. I can appreciate her ire at the alarm clock problem, but the second time that thing went off at the wrong time it would have gone the way of Bre's granola bar.

1. Do you ever notice when Tyra is doing her poses with the girls they never show her full body? Its like "Here is how you pose!" (close up shot of Tyra's face) and pull back. "Pose again!" (more close up of Tyra's face).

My thought is that she contorts her body in some awkward way. I mean I know she's a good model but maybe she's been out of practice or something. I just don't see any explanation otherwise.

2. Amiee had to go. She sunk her battleship when she started talking about being a Mormon. Sorry honey, but religion and fashion don't go together. If you have reservations about taking your clothes off in front of other people, you aren't going to make it very far. Plus, gay people are *everywhere*.

3. Glad to see Claire isn't the perfect Covergirl. I think she might have screwed herself for the win by beating down Dominique. Sure, she deserved a reading for the alarm clock and the general disrespect, but Claire took it to the next level by sitting in the room keeping her up and talking nasty about her. It made me almost feel sympathy for her.

4. And finally I don't understand why they keep having the plus size models on the show. I mean, I guess there is a market for them, but its not runway and it certainly isn't high-fashion. Plus size girls are catalog onry. That being said, I think Whitney is going to win.

I'm not sure what was wrong with me yesterday. I'll try and step up my game. Apologies all around.

Her timidness being naked around women is what makes the eventual innocent, friendly group shower all the more appealing.

I agree with Patrick, JJ. Where's the snark, were you tired?
If Dominique's alarm woke me up seven times for no reason, I'd beat her ass.
I can't believe they sent Aimee home, but kept that useless Stacey Ann, although Aimee was quite forgetable.
Katarzyna's still ugly. Did you notice how in every photo they airbrush her mole? That's what I can't get past, it's very distructing.

It's purely strategy cdawg. The people I root for have a tendency to get 86'd the moment I start rooting for them. My strategy going forward is to start rooting for the people I most want off the show. It's a little reverse model psychology and it will probably fail miserably like everything else I try and predict/influence related to this show (and in real life I might add).

At the end of the day "grunge" and "emo" seem to be closest to the sort of look that models feel most comfortable in--look at poor Claire, who had to play country--a musical genre that (in this stereotype of it, at least) relies on big, corn-pone smiles. She was caught between "modeling" and playing a character, and by ending in the middle of the road, she, as Mr. Miyagi would say, went squish like grape.

how the heck would you pose emo anyways... all of it was ridiculous. if claire had a big smile and posed all "country" they would have called it too cheesy. you can never win with the judges.

Go Whitney!

JJ why do you love the two biggest beyotches in the house? dom and fats don't do anything but start trouble.

Not that emo, perhaps, but still hot.
