@SAPPHiiRE.xo I Agree i wanted her gone from the start to, shes a bitch under all the akward nerdy girl stuff, and @analeigh Yes Saleisha had an attitude but Saleisha didnt have an attitude toward the judges, Victoria did
this picture is dull even without the wrinkles it was still bad. I don't get the victoria love. Saleisha took one bad picture, that's it, which was this one. It was a bad week, but she improved massively after that. Victoria didn't really want to model and she was rude to twiggy. Double standards here is what people have. If monique would have been rude to twiggy, people would have villified her for that.
^There's a pretty big difference between them. The show portrayed Monique as very stank, and Victoria wasn't rude to Twiggy at all in my opinion. Maybe my memory is rusty, but all I remember is her asking questions and maybe politely disagreeing once or twice over the course of the show. Not knowing that it's an industry where you keep your mouth shut 80% of the time? I could see that. But rude? Not so much. Plus as it's been stated, many of the other girls even attribute Victoria's "prickly attitude" to the ever-so-trustworthy editting of ANTM.
^If that one quote is what people consider to be so rude, then society is awfully sensitive these days. Nothing Victoria said sounded malicious or like it was intended to be rude. And there's only so much you can edit? You realize this is ANTM we're talking about, right? Editors got their job with such a mainstream show because they're masters at what they do. And "reality" TV is nowhere near real, nor are the characters portrayed in it. They're more like caricatures.
I don't think Victoria did or said anything in panel with malicious intent either, but she did have a way of sounding combative without meaning to be, especially in her final episode. I dunno, where I came from, when you address authority figures or superiors, you don't preface statements with, "Can I get one thing straight?" It's just very aggressive-sounding. So did Victoria deserve to be eliminated? Probably not. But could she have avoided her elimination? Absolutely.
^Yeah. Like I said, not rude, just probably didn't know how to keep her mouth shut or word what she wanted to say correctly, which could be attributed to a lack of experience in the modelling world. Plus she'd been chastised for an attitude that she didn't even possess in the previous episodes, so I'd've been a little peeved too. I guess she could've just brushed it off, but that doesn't make her rude.

I never really liked Victoria or this photo, but this definetely is not elimination worthy.
If this girl had kept her mouth shut, Saleisha would've gone home!

^If Victoria had kept her mouth shut, I think they probably would have still found a reason to eliminate her over Saleisha unfortunately, such as being too "timid", "quiet" and "insecure".
I used to really dislike Victoria, but I realize how nice it was to have someone actually speak up to the judges. It's clear she had little interest in modeling so why not call them out on their bullshit?
i am still hoping she'll start modelling again.
