I am not the biggest fan of Nicole (I always thought she was overrated by fans), but she is DEFINITELY underrated by the judges. Like nzkiwiboy already said, she wasn't even shown in the runway challenge and she's by far the best out of all the blondes (Molly is boring as hell, Hannahleigh and Kasia are just okay & Alexandria looks like my grandma). I smell sabotage!
tyra's OBVIOUSLY sabotaging her by giving her lack of screentime and choosing a pic where you can barely see her. she HAD to have had SOMETHING better.
She was so obviously sabotaged with this photo it's almost laughable. Alexandria looks old in person. I think that's worse than looking old in photos, considering you can't really change the way you look in person quite as easily... and I think Nicole's pre-show work proves that she doesn't look 'old' in photos.
I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like this pic a lot. It's got such a city feel to it, maybe in a club, like w/cigarette smoke wafting around in the air and BOOM...there's Nicole. I don't like that you only see half her face, but to me, this is art.
i think this photograph is great. despite the fact that she isn't front and center and it is sort of difficult to see what is going on (which is the photographers fault and tyra's for picking it), she stands out. it is mysterious and intriguing.
I think this is the ultimate low point of the ANTM rigging. There is nothing positive I can say about any aspect of this picture, and her expression is really the least prominent flaw.
