Top Model: Dionne's No Longer Down Under
So Dionne went home last night... a few weeks too late. Her portfolio failed to wow the judges, and she couldn't erase her mean expression in pics (speaking of mean looks, how cold did her face look when she was eliminated? Scary).
It was gang up on Natasha week, apparently. Yes, Natasha's antics (like her pillow talk on the phone with the hubby) can be a little hard to take at times, but from what we can tell, she's never been mean to anyone else on purpose. But that didn't stop Jaslene, Renee, and Dionne from planning her demise on their evening out!
We'll freely admit our Natasha bias. We find Renee shifty and untrustworthy, and Jaslene has proved herself to be WAY too arrogant and condescending. But even if you're not a Natasha fan, wasn't that one scene where she asked "What do you guys think will happen at the elimination" hard to watch? The other girls were quick to respond brattily: "Um, Tyra's going to call out the names." "One girl will be eliminated." Totally unnecessary. Natasha was trying to make conversation and she was just plain shot down. How old are they, twelve? Whose side are you in in the girls vs. Natasha feud?
And what's with Renee and Jaslene suddenly being pals? We would've thought they'd hate each other.
Anyway. So there was a dancing/life interpretation/body paint challenge that Renee easily won, and she even managed to get us feeling all sympathetic. Her story of abuse was enough to earn her some pricey jewelry -- and respect from the guest judge from Seventeen. The other girls... huh? Jaslene was her usual incoherent self. Dionne was okay, but didn't really move us. And Natasha? Her whispery, barefoot plant-waving dance left the entire group bewildered. Renee was the clear winner there.
On to the photo shoot, where for the second week in a row, Renee experimented with bendy arms, Jaslene telegraphed her executioner face, Dionne needed way too much coaching, and Nata just tried to stand upright. No one's pic really blew us away this week.
So, what'd you think? Who's going to totally flop on the My Life as a Cover Girl challenge? Who will "not want it enough" (Tyra always pulls that one out)? And who do you want to win it all?

Jasline was skinny before but she has gotton wayyyyyyyy to skinny. I liked her in the beggining but her additude was way to conceited and arrogent at the end of the show. Im all for Latino but she wasnt all that great.

I am a military spouse and we're in Germany so we're behind with most of the tv shows in the states. I just watched the episode of the girls gangin up on Natasha. Anyways, I came online to find out who won and it was Jaslene. I wanted Natasha to win. I wonder if the judges picked Jaslene because they were worried she'd do something crazy if they hadn't. They did say they were worried that because she wanted it so much that she might do something if the don't pick her...hmmm...wonder if that factor in but I haven't watched the finale yet so maybe I'll see something different and think that Jaslene deserves the win. I've always thought she had more of a drag queen look. Natasha is just sweet, confindent, and always displayed poise when it came to being critiqued and responding to how the other girls ganged up on her. She is gorgeous too. So what if she has her own secrets hello everyone does.
Anyway, I wish both finalist all the best!!
Posted by: Dee | May 18, 2007 3:13 AM
i think that all the girls were pretty. But i just preferred Dionne from the begining anyway she came fouth and i wish her lock in the future she is pretty. Renee was nice but she was emotional. I think that Dionne and Jaslene should have been in the finals.

Haters keep on hating cuz d cha cha diva did it & she aint goin no where so eat ur hearts out. U go girl & kill dem dead. YAY!!!!
Posted by: Nadine | May 17, 2007 3:46 PM
I wanted Natasha to win. She is beatiful and extremely nice girl. Throughout the whole show, she never talked back behind anybody's back. She took critique very well and mature. She is a fast learner and tries so hard. Love you Natasha!!! We are proud of you!
Posted by: Yana | May 17, 2007 12:44 PM
I am sooooooooooooooo HAPPY Jaslene won , she was a sure winner from the beginning. You go girl!
Posted by: Lystra | May 17, 2007 8:52 AM
Natasha is soooo not going 2 win she just drama!!!!
Posted by: ashley shermen | May 17, 2007 8:43 AM
all yall girls are ignorant, especially when you go saying the remaining girls were ugly, skinny, etc...JASLENE won, and she deserves it, she is basically the first Latina to win! I think she has a killer personality, like Tyra said fierce. Rene, and Natasha were talented girls, and I personally was happy to see Jaslene, and Natasha in the final 2..but let's face it the girl who REALLY deserved it won in the end...!!

Posted by: JUSTA CHESCA | May 16, 2007 8:51 PM
Watching Jaslene make the final 2 was painful, but watching her win was DREADFUL! That was Natasha!!!! omigoshhh I am so shocked I feel like Tyra is gonna come back on and say just kidding everyone, Natasha is the winner! I am soooooo mad! Even Renee deserved it more.

goooooooooooooooooooooooooo jaslene

i want Jaslene to win everything i think she has everything in order to become a model.
Natasha accent is wat is keeping her from not making it she takes beautiful photos but her voice is what is messing her up!
Renee is beautiful but she doesnt have everything that Jaslene has!!
Posted by: christina | May 16, 2007 7:32 PM
I would luv if Jaslene wins because i think she has everything to become a model!!!
Natasha u can nnot even understand what she says sometimes.
renee i think she is really good too but i really want Jaslene to win!!!!
GO JASLENE IM HERE 4 U!!
Posted by: christina | May 16, 2007 7:27 PM
I believe Renee should win, because apparently, she can be a kind and heartfelt person. Reality television has turned her into a manifestation of evil, however, according to most of the ones eliminated, she is very nice. The fact that she said that plus sized models could not be a on the cover of vogue was actually her potraying OTHER contestants's sayings, and this is supported by both Whitney, Jael, and Diana for what I know.
Posted by: Anonymous | May 16, 2007 6:49 PM
I think Jaslene and Renee are very good models. I jst dont lyk the way the act. Dionne is OK. I like Natasha.
Posted by: Rachel | May 16, 2007 3:36 PM
i think that natasha iz a very beautiful girl and her humbleness iz a very good attribute, but the way she speaks iz what kills me. i guess it was the way they taught her how to speak. if she would learn how to say something and not be offensive to other people, she could go all the way. i just hope jaslene wins. i want her to rep 4 da latina's. u go ahead girl.
Posted by: jasmine | May 16, 2007 2:22 PM
I believe Natasha should win tonight. She exemplifies every in ANTM. And i am very please with how she handled the critiques of those bitches last week. I personally love her accent, it personifies her from all the other girls, n she has shown America that she can control her Russian accent with the Covergirl shoot, i thought she was soo adorable.. I love her humbleness and her confidence..
Jaslene needs to go eat some damn food.
Renee needs to tell her husband to finds a damn J.O.B. she is soo damn fake!!!

i want natasha to win she is pretty i wish she was my mother i love her she will
Posted by: ANAMARIA | May 16, 2007 1:24 PM

Posted by: Alexis | May 14, 2007 9:20 PM
I love Natasha - she is the best! Beautiful face, great body, great soul... This is what America needs. And I wonder about those people who says she shouldn't win because she is from Russia - are you native american? People from different countries came to America and made America the greatest country - what's wrong with that? It doesn't matter where are you from -Russia, Mexico, China, etc. Cute face doesn't mean anything, what about the soul? Natasha is the best -gorgeous, smart, nice person, kind, warm. Go Natasha! Natasha is the TRUE WINNER, even if she won't get ANTM title.
Posted by: Lana | May 14, 2007 3:09 PM
Ok, for every body out there who wants jaslene to win face it she's not going too. Rennee, she's pretty but lacks the "right" personality and shes a hypocrite so that leaves NATASHA!!!! who is ANTM !!!!
Posted by: cindy | May 14, 2007 7:27 AM
Natasha has it all.. Go girl :)
Posted by: alla P | May 14, 2007 12:33 AM
People keep saying that Jaslene is too skinny, feature's too masculine etc. But many supermodels out there now are also skinny and masculine. Her pictures are also better and consistent. Natasha on the other hand is sweet and sexy, but are these qualities enough to win top model? I'm not sure. Renee renee, I just feel she looks old. And that's really not good, unless we're trying to shoot her on the cover of 'Seventy', I think seeing her on 'Seventeen' is too much of a stretch.
Having said that, all three girls are pretty. But I just wish we have more choice. Oh well... we'll see how it goes at the Finale.
Posted by: Cissie | May 13, 2007 11:24 PM
Jaslene shouldn't win because she's way too skinny, she's looks dumb whenever she speaks & all her photos look the same. Renee is mean, tries to manipulate the girls, plastic and way too old to be on the seventeen cover. Of all the 3 remaining, Natasha is my bet.She's real pretty & nice too.
Posted by: meg | May 13, 2007 10:54 PM
I HATE Jaslene. She's a retarded, bulemic, anorexic, emaciated , GHETTO UGLY dog!!!!
I used to like renee, but she lacks talent and is boring.
Natasha should win because she's a sweetheart and she knows how to model and takes amazing pictures.
Posted by: erin | May 13, 2007 7:15 PM
Ok number one, this cycle has made me very mad! All of the girls have something that dissapoint me very much! But if I had to choose, I would want Natasha to win. So she has an accent... its sexy. And yeah she's a little weird sometimes, but atleast she's not a two face like Rennee. Now Rennee, she is the typical blonde hair blue eye girl that we see all over the media, I want to see something new! Jaslene, homegirl is ghetto! She makes latinas look bad! I dont want that anorexic girl representing my kind! So for me is Natatsha all the way!!!!
Posted by: Alexis | May 13, 2007 12:24 PM
JASLENE iS THE BESTT!! renee and natasha are all jealouss because shess better then them. GO LATiNA`Z !! LATiNA`Z REPRESENT!! W00T!
Posted by: anoymous | May 13, 2007 11:54 AM
Natasha is the best there!Go,girlie!Prove that you deserved it!Jaslene is so ugly,she can`t win it.Renee is too old and I don`t see nothing unusual in her.
Posted by: KIT | May 13, 2007 8:18 AM
RENEE WILL WIN i SWEAR TO GOD!!!
NO MATTER HOW GOOD IS NATESHA THE RUSSIAN !@#$%^&* OR JASLENE THE MAXICAN!@#$%^&*, RENEE WILL WIN IT ALL AND SHE WILL OH SHE WILL BE AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL!!!! I SWEAR TO GOD!!
Posted by: RUZANNA | May 13, 2007 12:05 AM
Renee should be the next ANTM. She is very pretty, both in person and in pix. And she is definitely professional. The other two girls cant match up. Jaslene for one is wayyy too skinny. Clearly anorexic. She thinks shes all that but she isnt. Definitely not a good role model. And Natasha may be pretty in pix but she is so ugly in person. And her accent totally brings her down.
Renee on the other hand has the whole package.
Posted by: Eva | May 12, 2007 10:20 PM
all u people need to stop hating, renee is not a bitch(at least not anymor) you guys are just jelous because she knows how to bring it where ever she goes. She is beautiful and intelligent, and Natasha is soooooo ugly. This is america for crying out loud. If you cant speak it right, then you might at well go to Russia's next top model!!!!!:P
Posted by: Anonymous | May 12, 2007 1:03 PM
I think NATASHA is going 2 win!But the person who I would want her to win is JASLENE because she is a good role model.I dom't know about RENEE.
Posted by: leslie | May 12, 2007 12:35 PM
I think Natash should win because she can be a good roll model to young girls. Rene whatever her name is, she's too old to be a model for seventeen magazine. If she wins, Tyra makes big mistake. The whole world knows that she's such bitch, how can she be a good roll model??? Another girl is too skinny.
Posted by: Anonymous | May 11, 2007 9:54 PM
jaslene will win so live with it renee will come second very nice girl
NATASHA IS NOT PRETTY SHES SO UGLY AND HER PICS ARENT ALL DAT SHE SHUD OF GOME HOME
DIONNE I MISS U
Posted by: Erin | May 11, 2007 9:28 PM
I would like Jaslene too win it all , she has the whole package.
Posted by: Lystra | May 11, 2007 11:30 AM
JASLENE IS ONE OF THE PRETIEST GIRLZ IN THAT COMPETITON RENNE SHE'S JUST A STR8 BITCH NATALIA IS VERY FUNNY BUT SHE CAN WORK THE FASHION INDUSTRY WITH A LITTLE COACHING AND JASLENE WOW SHE REALLY REPERESENTS THE LATINAS IN THE COMPETITION HER PICTURES ARE OVER THE TOP AND I WOULD LIKE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT WHEN TYRA TELLS GIRLS THEY LOOK (FIERCE)SHE'S ACTUALLY CALLIN THEM UGLY BUT THAT'S NY YORK SLANG BUT I DNT NOE MAYBE THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO CALL THEM PRETTY... LOL BYE NOW AND THE PERSON WHO SHOULD WIN THE COMPETITON IS JASLENE 100%
Posted by: JOSHUA | May 11, 2007 8:54 AM
Jaslene is a horrible example of a model for young girls. she is clearly annorexic, she may be very sweet or good at what she does. But she will drive young girls not to eat. And after Tyra's tangent of picking two plus sized models and telling women to be themselves. Jaslene would be a step in the wrong direction..
Posted by: Anonymous | May 10, 2007 10:45 PM
i thik Natasha the best of all of them she's sweet and very smart. Grils were afraid of her because they know she's better tnan them so they tryed to vote her of all together but it didnt fork because judges knows she's verry good,, and i think she will win it..
Posted by: alla P | May 10, 2007 7:34 PM
Everybody in there are just !@#$%
Natasha should win it all.
They all suck and have such issues with their personalities. Natasha just needs to prove everyone wrong. Jealous !@#$%
Posted by: Stephanie R. | May 10, 2007 6:54 PM
I really think that natasha should have got voted becase dione has more potenial than her natasha just cause dione always made mean faces she still were stronger than the rest pf those gurl
Posted by: taijah | May 10, 2007 6:50 PM
The girls are jealous because she is improving!!!
Posted by: Christopher A. | May 10, 2007 4:16 PM
I like Natasha the most because she has a sweet, warm but still sexy look. I don't like Jaslene because she is too full of herself. Rene hmmmm I don't like or dislike her, she doesn't seem to bring anything new to the modeling world.. of course I am not an expert it's just my opinion. I think Tyra is gorgeous, I wonder if she is a nice person in real life.
Posted by: Maria | May 10, 2007 4:09 PM
It was very unpleasant to watch this week's conspiracy against Natasha. She's always been nice to everyone. And accusing her of playing games? If anyone is playing games it's Renee. The girls were just jealous and trying to eliminate the competition, but it did not look nice. Jaslene is just too arrogant and I don't think she's classy enough to be a top model. Hope she doesn't win. And Renee does look kind of old.
Posted by: Anna | May 10, 2007 2:53 PM
Natasha is still the best!
Posted by: Lola | May 10, 2007 1:52 PM
I think that Jaslene is totally obnoxious. Just step back and look at the picture as a whole. Acouple of weeks ago everyone was ganging up on Renee. Both Renee and Natasha have had some life experience. Both are mothers both are wives. I takes some level of maturity to have your act together and maintain those types of relationships on a healthy level. And so what if one week Renee is one way and the next week she is another way. Did it ever occour to anyone that mabe that is what she needs to do in order to conform to the dysfunctional personalities around her.
