This is the show that pretty much named Saleisha and whitney the best of their cycles. I wouldn't put it past them. There is so little to lose (in dumbing down performances) and so much to gain (in ratings).

Dumbing down performances, yes. Choosing worse/better photos, imo no.

I know the show has been edited since Whitneys time, to gain ratings of course. but like longtimefan, they wouldn't choose not so great photos (or maybe bad photos) for the other girls to make the other girl look better, because that photo will be in their portfolio. who want to book them if Tyra pick a not so great or bad photos?

So you all mean to tell me that out of over a hundred photoshoots that antm has had, there has never been a time that all the girls had a great shot? That all the girls performed well? That EVERY SINGLE WEEK there was always a couple of girls who did bad? That out of over one hundred girls, the one's who are consistant just instantly FLOP for no reason? Girls who are consistantly bad suddenly get one amazing photo? Seriously you guys, are you analyzing this?

Longtimefan, I know you're a Tyra fan, as I am too, but I'm perfectly willing to admit the fact that ANTM is rigged, just like most reality t.v. shows. If they can manipulate an undeserving girl to win, I certainly wouldn't put something as juvenile as purposely selecting bad photos to elevate another girl. Heck, look at Kelle's Lee Jeans. A photo have surfaced that were considerably better than her historic fail.

Again, Tyra forgot the fact that Tahlia maybe does look like a mother but not a model at all... Don't tell me that ANTM would be this girl? Seriously, I even believe that Whitney or Saleisha are better models than this girl Tahlia!!! At least Whitney could have atleast one high fashion photo (homeless shot) and Saleisha is actually good in catalog and runway. But Tahlia to me does not excel at all. Tahlia ain't no Dominic (beautiful in photos, bland in person)... I think Dom is far better than her!!! Even I don't really prefer Dom in cycle 10... Go HOME!!! I don't care if labeled bitches like Natalie, Sandra, maybe Aminat and now Celia will be the winner!!! Or commercial girls like Fo or London. But I still prefer Allison, maybe Teyona. At least they look like a model... I wasn't frustrated in any girl in ANTM since Tahlia. I wasn't even this frustrated when Saleisha or Whitney won or when Katarzyna or Heather was eliminated...

Okay, these are my opinions I just can't stand Tahlia anymore... Honestly, for a sweet girl. She could be labeled as the most hated girl this cycle... I don't really hate her as a person as much as you think but I still think she does not deserve to be there. I'll give this a two... Because she looks like a fierce mother but not a high fashion model!!! Sorry Tahlia!!!

People are so mean to Tahlia. She did an amazing job htis week. Obviously she will not win becasue she will break down again it judges will notice this time but she really stepped on all the girls this week. I know she got so annoying but at least let her enjoy this moment!! Seh earned it!

EVERYBODY LEAVE TAHLIA ALONE, I LOVE HER, SHE IS GETTING BETTER AND IMRPOVING, AND YEA SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO GO HOME BUT SHE DIDNT MEAN IT, SHE WAS JUST HAVING A HARD WEEK AND FEELING LOW, AND WHEN WE FEEL LOW, WE SAY THINGS WE DON'T MEAN, AND SHE DIDNT LEAVE SO ITS SHOWS, THAT SHE DOES WAN'T TO BE THERE AND I LOVE HER PIC, SOOO LEAVE HER ALONE, I WANT TAHLIA, IN THE FINAL!!!!!!!

i agree weekevin she is trying but i guess she feels bad cos shes not doing so well on the challenges it would be awesome to see her in the final

^^Attitude or not, she still doesn't have the face or the body, so she would NEVER get booked. And she had like ONE good picture.

Sad but true Michelle&AmandaBabin

It's great. I have to say, I never expected anything remotely like this from her.

@ weekevin : Except she's been whiny since week 1 when she was the only one put in pants for the fashion show. If it had been just this week that she was portrayed as whiny, and wishy-washy... then maybe. I think most the frustration at her being in this competition at all is well deserved.

maybe she had her period tat week...so emo.....

I see NOTHING in this that reads immagrent! She should have gone home a long time ago, and the worst part of this whole mess is that Celia has a chance of going before her. Regardless of photos! Tahlia, you are officially my least favorite o the whole cycle! I am over Natalie presenting herself arrogently last week, and now switching all my rage on you! And I have alot of rage these days.

Modeling 101- A monkey could pose like this, and might as well have. Panel is so inconsistent with their call outs. They called Sandra first last week when NOTHING she was doing related to being a nanny. Now-They called Tahlia first for a cliche pose that relates NOTHING to immigration. Tyra even called her a "Spanish Lullaby" and she's right- I am asleep with this picture.

ALSO- I bet Celia and Tahlia will be bottom two next week. We all know how Tyra loves to do that. haha that would excite me

@CATnips: No. Just no... Nik would stomp all over this girl in photos, runway, everything. Again, the hands on hips brings this down for me. I don't know about you all, but when I arrive to a new country, after having left behind my parents, my home, my entire life, and must undergo extensive tests and examinations, then having to start building a family from literally nothing, I don't immediately strike a hands-on-hips pose. But Idunno, maybe some of you do that?

I don't like the fact that when she does bad she wants to go home but as soon as she does good again she's on top of the world! Gosh. And lol @ her calves, so true

@cristal: my point is The TyTyHo didnt like that "pose" when Nik was doing that, while they come to Scarlia the judges were amaze
scarlia and judges (esp Ho and nigel) have one thing in common: inconsistent

Damn! I wish top model was filmed in real time, then we could have gathered a team to infiltrate the Top Model house and asassinate Tahlia...plus while they were at it they could kill off all the other girls except Allison, leaving her America's Next Top Model! It's the only way we're ever going to get a decent winner! Saleisha, Whitney and Mckey? YAWN

Honestly seeing Tahlia at the shoot just made me think she was trying out for "America's Next Top Mae West Tranny"! Mae would have worked THAT outfit so much better I must say!
