actually, yenegon, you may have something there. it could be biased. think about it. tyra wants people of all different backgrounds to watch antm. some people may be turned off by not being able to relate to a girl, and some see same race as compatability. perhaps this is tyra's nudge to help more black girls get into the final 5 since the last two cycles consisted of only 1 black girl in each set of final 5. and oddly enough, the black girls photos this episode were more favorable, a chunk due to the scarves. very possible. good eye, yenegon. that's what antm is TRULY about.
