i don't like this whole notion of "potential." every girl got into the competition based on their "potential", and after that point, it is their job to deliver in their pics. "potential" should never be brought up during an elimination- eliminations should be solely based on picures and maybe, MAYBE personality issues if these issues are bad enough to prevent a girl from booking clients or something relevant.
^ Potential is an important factor to consider. Natasha ( Cycle 8 ) was a prime example at that. Her first few shots were mediocre but then she began to turn out quality shots. I do agree that sometimes they weigh potential heavier than they should. Kelle was a prime example of that.
Well a girl can get a break like nata if there's really a chance she can turn out gorgeous shots, but a girl shouldn't be kept because they think her bone structure or height is good if her shot is bad, kelle, anne, lluvy, whitney(c, bianca, jaeda, eugena, and quite a few other girls come to mind
^agree steagle. i think they tend to opt for out-of-the-ordinary girls over the usual ones (my explanation for them booting Brita and virtually everyone else they're about to boot from the show)--'ya know, Tyra wants a new face in the fashion industry that's why they chose Eva, NAima, Nicole, Caridee, Jaslene, Saleshia and Whitney ... Sarah looks like Brita btw
how is whitney a new face for fashion inspired? she looks like a less attractive anna nicole smith, and anna nicole was already a model for guess jeans...whitney is terrible and her face is not fresh in the least
