I'm pissed, I think caridee is annoying as hell.  The girl seems like a lunatic to me.  On the other hand I absolutely adored Melrose, she performed well throughout, she was consistent and likeable and kicked ass in the runway show.  I'm sure Melrose is already signed with Ford or Elite so whatever.

My point exactly.

The funny thing is that as they were showing Caridee's pics next to Melrose' pics. Caridee's stuck out more. I am so SICK of Melrose's look. She's so typical. Caridee is definitely more interesting to look at and watch. Melrose was a good model but she's so yesterday...

You get 10 points! Good eye!

Why?  Because she put in the effort to understand the industry?  Or was it because she was more mature and had better sense than the other girls?  Or because she was consistantly the winner of the challenges?  Or because she was a bitch and annoying since she wouldn't give in to the other models petty games, clics, and alliances?  Or.... what?

I think she came across negatively because all of the shit talking. She was constantly badmouthing someone. I thought the bitch was gonna get stabbed. There was some jealousy on the other girls' parts but mostly she was just in their faces all the time. That would piss anyone off.

I think people need to realize that the show was edited together to show what they wanted to show about each person when possible. To even begin to think you know the women to say one's a bitch or this or that doesn't seem fair. Not one of us actually knows any of the contestants (if you do, speak up) to give an accurate description of that person's true personality.

Who ended up outshining everyone collectively across the challenges? MELROSE! Hello!

Caridee...insulted a judge, completely tanked on the Spanish commercial, convulsed uncontrolably DURING a photoshoot. Am I getting my point across here?

Melrose..."could have done better" or "it's not your best work" (that's the worst they had to say).

Melrose was the clear professional all the way through. Should have won. Didn't. Will she get work? Um.. Yeah.

IMHO,

Well said, and I totally agree.  I also think that Melrose was probably not the image that their sponsors wanted and the spinmasters made it happen.  Even the photogs who did the cover shoot were singing praises to Melrose...maybe that's why they were not on the final judging panel.

And the other models were not in Melroses face, dissing her, badmouthing her behind her back, rolling their eyes when she won a challenge...did you watch the same epidodes I did?

What did you guys think of Caridee winning? I thought the final two would of been between her and Eugena but was not surprised that Melrose lost in the end (cause  of her age perhaps?)



Let's discuss!! 

Caridee definitely! Melrose was too plasticky. I agreed with the judges' assessment of the two finalists' personalities. Caridee is more model material just wanting to beat all of them and not really improving on her self. Melrose seems like an overachiever sort of individual. jmho

I think the judges made the right decision and CariDee deserved to win. I also think the editing of the show helped to portray Melrose in a negatively light.

I won't forget that time when one of the twins (AManda or Michelle) won a challenge and she chose two friends to go with her to share her prize.

She chose Melrose and one other. The prize was for a shopping free for a limited time so off they went but after that it was revealed to them that whoever got the most number of articles wins all the other girls' stuff too.

Of course Melrose won and I thought out of good graces she'd just let the other two girls keep what they shopped but no no no, she took all the clothes including that of Amanda (or Michelle) who chose her as a friend. Melrose has a twisted attitude, jmho.

Photography By Amaru wrote:
It was her attitude and disrespect. She called Caridee a ho! Melrose was not humble in my opinion.

So many girls call their friends hos, hookers, sluts...means nothing.

She had an ego- why shouldn't she? But she wasn't like Jade was portrayed, and frankly, she was the stronger of the two. I think CariDee will crack.

The Brig.  Who ever thought we'd have a place designated for those considered cyber-offenders?

So true, it looks like a limp dick!!!

Also, I thought Melrose should have won. She went in as a contestant in a competition, not to meet friends. She kept her focus on the tasks at hand which is why she got to where she was. To bad for her age, if she was 7 yrs youger, she probably would have taken the title

CariDee- to me, is a beautiful girl. But so are many others. She has nothing special to offer, and her runway show was ridiculous....and she got ripped apart for it too. She looked like a spaz, and reining that in should be easy enough, but is the end product worth it? I don't think so. Sure her covergirl ad was pretty- but it's a beauty shot- big deal. That runway show is supposed to be the final challenge, and Melrose won that hands down. Frankly, I wouldn't have reacted as much about the dress, but c'mon, in that situation, none of you wouldn't have been at least a touch upset. The fact that she walked down that runway with the hole made her an amazing model. You didn't see she was upset on that runway- a true professional. So she overreacted backstage, so what? Should she have been calmer, sure. But c'mon, put yourself in her shoes.

When their polaroids first appeared online I said I think Melrose is going to win, and I never once thought differently. I thought it was GARBAGE that Tyra said Caridee had the "passion" for it....no she didn't, she was just a nutcase. A good model? Sure. Top model? No way. Melrose was hated because she was there to model, not to make friends. This is a competition, not a sorority house. I related to her the entire time she was there. Sure she gossiped...but calling CariDee a "ho"? Please- plenty of girls I know refer to their girlfriends as sluts and hookers- it's become a random term; it's meaningless. Once again, the editors made her out to be something she's not: the devil. She wanted this so much more, and she was better at it. She was exactly what Jay said "intelligent, classy, beautiful" etc...and all the judges did was slam her for it. You can't win with those people. So what that she was a bitch. Who cares. Naomi seems to be doing just fine.

I'm addicted to this show and never miss an episode- and yeah, it's reality tv, not the real world of modeling...but c'mon. Last night was terrible.

I hope Melrose goes far.

^5 to this.

that's how i feel.  It's funny that I don't know ANY women that wanted Melrose to win and it's never for a decent reason.  It's always "she was annoying, she was a bitch, I just didn't like her'.  The men I know mostly wanted whoever they wthought was hottest to win lol.

Umm helloooooo she wasn't there to make friends, she was there to win the competition.  She didn't play underhanded games or be overly fake towards any of them, she was cordial and attentive and did her job but was a flat out competitor and didn't give a fuck if you liked her or not as long as she won.

I agree 100% with Ransom..Melrose (even though i hated her too) was the SHIT..she always outshined to the point where people began to stop worrying about her because she was THAT GOOD..her runway walk was the shit (only AJ i think could walk better than she could)...

now what i hated was she was a perfectionist to the point where she'd bitch and moan if she didn't get it right or win. She was too much...

Hell Eva was a bitch and she won.....JADE from last season was a bitch and she has 5 contracts, about 3 of them in Thailand and Singapore....People don't care if you're a bitch, as long as you do your job and make that money. Hell, Naomi Campbell is still around after these years

I didnt say that she wasnt a good model. She just wasnt a total package for me. She got the job done but her obsession with perfection hurt her a bit. She worked that runway show to pieces but she broke down so easily when the dress ripped eventhough she shone more after that. She became fierce but I dont see her winning Top Model. Especially with the panel they had. She did really well and she will make it long after the show. Most of the models from ANTM make it bigger than the winners.

To tell you honestly, Eva was the most successful winner i think....and then Yoanna with nicole as a close third...but i think Lisa d'Amato, Toccara, and Yaya are the most successful of the cycles.

She's only 23. She's not old, but should have started earlier, so I agree only to a point, though
