Top Model: Heather Goes Home! Plus, Reasons We're Annoyed
So what'd you guys think? Because we were pretty annoyed after last night's Top Model episode. Like, screaming at our TV annoyed. Let us count the reasons (feel free to add to our list in the comments):
*Jenah's right that this show is becoming more of a personality contest than a modeling contest.
*The go-see challenge makes no sense. If it were REALLY about the clothes and the impressions the models make, they'd be dropped off at the door of their go-sees. Why does the fact that Heather can't handle directions and Jenah and Chantal can't account for the madness of Shanghai traffic mean that they're disqualified? We've seen how real models behave (Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell)... and they pretty much know they can get away with whatever they want (coke, phone-throwing) because they'll still get booked. But no, being ten minutes later in a challenge that's clearly set up for them to fail means they're obviously failures as models, too.
*Jenah's in the bottom two... for being too sarcastic? What, poor Nigel can't take a little personality on the side of his photo shoots? If this competition's about booting models who exhibit bitchy behavior, Bianca should have gone home. And yet she's called second... and her photo was TERRIBLE.
*Yeah, Heather got lost in Shanghai. And no, she can't deliver a line in a commercial to save her life. But her portfolio rocked. That doesn't seem to count for much on this show. We thought it was about modeling... apparently we were wrong.
*Are we the only ones who think Saliesha's totally fake? She can turn on the charm at the go-sees and at panel, but we're not buying what she's selling. Also, we still despise her hair. It's not getting any cuter.
*Bianca wasn't as detestable as she was last week, but we still don't think she deserved to be called second.
Okay, Top Model fans, tell us what you thought! Are we the only ones steamed about last night's episode (and in fact, this entire cycle)?
Comments
Heather is a beautiful woman, but it was time for her to go. Yes, she took amazing photos, but outside of that she just wasn't cut out to be a model. Modeling isn't only about photos. You have to be able to act, walk, and take good interviews and talk in public which Heather couldn't do. I felt that she was babied and I know she did have a disorder, but you can't blame everything she does on that. After her commercial, I knew it was time for her to go and I'm surprised that she didn't. Her lines were fed to her and she still couldn't pull through that? I'm still mad that Lisa went home that night. I honestly thought that she was at least going to make it to the top 3. I think the only reason that people like Heather so much is because of her looks, but there were far more woman in the house who could pull off what a model is supposed to be and Heather isn't a model. She needs to work on a lot, before she even thinks of joining the industry. Anyways, I'm glad Saleisha won. She deserved it. Heather, keep working hard and I know we'll see you in the future.

I am very dissapointed by this show..I am sorry, but this show doesn't mean anything in the model world! Look where are the previous models? What are they doing? Posing in Walmart? Is this joke? They should name it America's Next nonsense, because it is just terrible. And sorry, but they have always the worst looking models ever, Chantal? Saleisha? Are we still talking about posing in Walmart or international modeling? Heather was only one who could be international model and maybe Jennah also, but that's it. Shame on you the whole team of ANTM!

Are you guys following this episode very well, Who said solisha is fake, this girl has worked so hard and the most properly focused. Remember her statment when she fell out with Bianca, she siad am here to win this competition and "i would probabbly do" Pls review on all the overall performance, she has come a long way. This is the 1st time i ve to agree with Tyra, i never noticed Chanel till down to 5girls left. Yes Heather was my favorite from the beginning, but my dears after she couldn't deliver the lines even after Jay read them for her, i gave up on her coupled with her walk. I pray she will still make it. Go Soliesha, you rocked and you deserved it. The very best.

I wanted Heather to win so bad!!! I can really relate to her. I was shocked when she was sent home. For some reason I didn't think it could be possible. How could a girl with so much talent (and obviously a way with the audience)get sent home? Anyway, the only way America's Next Top Model can fix this terrible mistake is to bring Heather back!!!

actually, everyone on the go sees loved heathers walks. actually.

I can't beleive you voted off Heather she was awesome. She was so pretty and nice and she deserved to win. All the other girls were backstabbing and she acted like an adult and I am proud of her. I have watched this show from DAY 1 and I am so disappointed I don't know if I want to watch anymore. Bring Heather back she rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that the bitch Bianca went bye-bye, if you cant bring back Heather the only other one that is good is Chantel.
Posted by: Jayne Kouba | December 6, 2007 4:06 PM
Heather took the best pictures of any cycle. I can't believe Tyra sent her home. I'm so happy Bianca finally was voted off this week. She sucked and none of her pictures were good. I can't understand why Tyra kept playing favorites with her. I guess since Heather's gone I'll vote for Chantal.
Posted by: Heidi | December 5, 2007 10:04 PM
it seems that everybody loves Heather.She might be beautiful ( even though I find her to be sooooooo plain)but she does not have any modeling skills!!!!!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE WAY SHE WALKS.......It can not be e worse.She might take good pictures but this is not enough at all.She is lost.saleisha is pretty but not model pretty.anyway i think that she is doing good.Jenah has an unique face but lacks modeling skills.Chantal- there is nothing special about her.And Bianca ...I love her. She has a great cat walk and stands out.And there is nothing wrong with her attitude.Just think of naomi.We all know about her attitude.But it is a fact that she is one of the greatest models ever....
Posted by: Amber Coran | December 5, 2007 6:46 PM
omg wats with u ppl and heather?! she was prety and all but she can NOT handdl the modling buisness! i hate bianca! she is ugly, i hate her smile, and she has attitude problems do u really think a modeling person will hire her if she is fightin wit all the other models?! Saleshia is NOT fake go salesha all the way! i wanna see salesha and jena or salesha and chantal in the bottom to. and 2 all u other people who think otherwise, U stink! merry christmas =)

Hey, Anonymous --
Do I hate Bianca? Yes. Does that make me a "hater," as those of you who seem to lack vocabulary words like to call us? No. I'm not "hatin on" her, as you like to put it. I just hate her. It's that simple.
Posted by: Lila | December 5, 2007 3:49 PM
all of yall is a bunch of haters.don be hatin on bianca jus because she has an attitude problem evry body have problems.heather is pretty but duhhhh she cant be a model she has a disability or wateva you call it and thats why yall want her win cuz yall feel sorry for her.
Posted by: Anonymous | December 5, 2007 3:01 PM
i feel that things could of been better for heather i really think she should have won .
Posted by: renay | December 5, 2007 2:58 PM
natalie for your information heather was good but she was not the best and just because you think saleisha is spoiled and bianca has an attitude problem doesnt mean that they should get eliminated. see this is the same foolishness nobody wants to be fair.
Posted by: Anonymous | December 5, 2007 2:52 PM
If you laid Heather and Bianca's photos next to each other week after week, a blind man could see that Bianca should have been gone in the first few weeks of the cycle. She's nothing but teeth; a big mouth, in more ways than one.
To Heather: Homegirl, keep your head up. Remember Jennifer Hudson? She was booted off American Idol for her looks, in spite of her incredible voice. But she recognized her own greatness, in spite of Idol, and she took those looks and her talent all the way to the Oscars, making Idol look totally stupid. You're a role model for all those who've had to suffer through the ignorance and small-mindedness of people who would sap your confidence and try to make you ashamed of your brilliance just because you are different. Keep your head up and KEEP TRYING! Maybe one day, you can have Tyra on your TV show and get her to explain what on Earth she was thinking when she kept Bianca and got rid of you.

I feel that Heather was treated unfair. When you are dealing with someone who is disable, common sense should tell you that they are going to need help. If a person could not walk. Would you not give that person a wheel chair. Are if a person could not speak, would you not give that person a talking device. I'm disappointed at the show, but at the same time, I'm very proud of Heather because she is making a difference. She is showing people that no matter what your weakness are, that you can still go after your dreams. Also to Bianca, you are very insecure to pick on someone just because they are better than you at something. If you was mature you would have simply tried to learn from those who did better. You sat there plotting against Heather and your day will come when you will reap what you sow. But anyway back to Heather, stay encourage, and I hope and pray that this isn't the last time, we see your beautiful face on TV.

I bet Bianca was a "mean-girl" in school who talked out of 2 sides of her big mouth. Shame on Tyra for keeping her around instead of Heather. If Bianca wins, they should change the name of the show to "America's Next Top Mean Girl." I'm really disappointed in the way this season is turning out.
Posted by: Paula | December 4, 2007 8:08 PM
I don't think many people know that the majority of so called "top models" out there are usually younger than 22 or so- sometimes only 14 or 15, not to mention that some of them have moms or parental care whenever they go to designer fittings and bookings, and usually a great model would have already been "discovered" by that age. Models don't get "baby-ed" by the industry but a lot of them do have support-family support.
but I guess what I'm trying to say is ANTM never really produced real "top models" that you'll see in any Vogue magazine ads, or designer campaigns....which is why after 9 cycles I'm starting to get a little bored.
If anything, Jenah should win, because she has the face similar to some of the biggest models in the industry including Raquel Zimmerman, and maybe Anja Rubik.
and Heather, i thought was good too because her face was awkward but somehow appealing, and it made audiences like her (obviously). and if some of her pictures made me feel that way, she certainly has some sort of hidden talent.
For Bianca I wouldn't base my dislike of her on personality (and if I did, I would have wanted to send her home episodes ago, because i hate her attitude too) but she takes bland, almost unappealing photos (for me at least), i definitely wouldn't buy anything she was selling.
this show is all about personality, almost separating from the real point of the show: "modeling"
working in the fashion industry, that's just my two cents....
Posted by: Jacq | December 4, 2007 5:32 PM
I loved Heather and now shes gone I dont care to watch the rest of the shows, because I dont care who wins. Why did they keep Jenah , who was being sassy, when they got rid of that other girl early on just because she spoke her mind,and she was much prettier and unique?
Posted by: Nancy Hamby | December 4, 2007 12:59 PM
i was dissappointed that heather had to go, to me she was my favorite cause she's different beautiful and she wasn't perfect she had a disablity and she proved that u can go far, she just need to work on her confidance though sometimes i wanted to go omg shut it heather ur beautiful to my tv.
not hatin or anything but
bianca, i just dont like her idk if its cause some of the stuff she says makes herself look like a poor sport in a nice way of putting it and i've only like one of her pictures.
Saleisha she alright shes like miss p.r, she was a judge before she won, saleisha knows what do cause of the camp tru. but she's doing it on her own.
Jenah and chantal i get confused between the 2 sometimes with the pictures but idk.
btw Aaron heather had a disablity not a diease o.O
Posted by: Jessica Patterson | December 3, 2007 10:27 PM
anonymous can't you write in the first place? and besides heather should'nt have gone home she was ssooooo friggen good!!! salisha is spoiled and superficial, biance has an attitude problem and she sounds like she has 500 pieces of gum in her mouth. Jenah is just plain boring and chantal she just a goody two shoes ugh hate this sean bring her back!!
Posted by: natalie | December 3, 2007 11:46 AM
I am so glad to see Heather go, I was getting tired of her sad looking face. Yes, she takes great pictures, but modeling is more than that. Jenah needs to go next, you should always respect the people you are working with and always be aware who is listening and watching you. By now everyone should be over being nervous about picture shoots, what is up with that?
Posted by: Cat | December 3, 2007 8:46 AM
Honestly, I think Saliesha is the best out of the top 4! Bianca is really pretty, and yes she has an attitude but it's not one that gets in the way of her photos. Heather was the prettiest, and the most photogenic. But she didn't have people skills, and you need those to be a model. I still think Heather will go far, because she's amazing. Chantal is a good model, I don't have a problem with her. And as for Jenah, I really want her to go home. I'm a really sarcastic person too, but she's just rude.
Posted by: Kimi Faith | December 2, 2007 1:51 PM
clc why would they do that she is giong to make n all of them will look so dame dume
Posted by: Aaron Culpepper | December 1, 2007 6:16 PM
i disagree wit all u folks dis season is not da worse jus because heather went home. u guys jus like her cuz u feel sorry for her cuz she has a disease.u guys jus hatin on bianca and saleisha cuz dey black well don be hatin.i like all of dem but heather deserved to go home and u guys kno dat she jus kept droppin and droppin.so u guys stop hatin and be fair.

Posted by: Gio | December 1, 2007 4:27 AM
I'm so mad heather went home, because i don't want that dumb ass bitch, with all the attitude called jenah to stay.but anyways i hope bianca or saliesha wins.
Posted by: Latoya | November 30, 2007 7:28 PM
It sucks that Heather went home. i was really rooting for her but I can kinda understand the decision....kinda. Not seeing the Go sees meant that she wasn't selling herself, therefore none of the agents were seeing how absolutly amazing her photos are. For that, the reason for sending her home is understandable. It sucks that she couldn't have had a little more help. I just want Bianca to go home because she has the worst personality of them all. Since Heather's gone I'm rooting for Jenna. I know her appearance is usually raggedy but I like her. I wouldn't mind seeing Saleisha win either. She seems okay. Fake? I don't know but she seems cool for the most part. Chantal is gorgeous but I've seen it before. There's nothing that wows me about her. Bianca should definately go home.
Posted by: Kym | November 30, 2007 6:28 PM
I can't believe they sent Heather home. She was the only reason I watched this season. There was finally someone who wasn't just like every other pretty face. She was beautiful and very unique. I hope her career goes very far and that this stupid show doesn't stop her from following her dreams. She takes amazing photographs and I wish she had won. The rest of this season is just a waste of time. None of them deserve it.
Posted by: Marta | November 30, 2007 6:20 PM
OMG Heather! WHAT.,,
She is the most beautiful girl ever that has been on your show. Although she had difficulties it was sad to see her go. I am a Fashion Designer and loved all of her pictures. However, with some dancing lessons maybe she could become more fluid in her movements and improve her walk. So Long Heather - You are truely very beautiful, inside and out!
Posted by: Linda Deveau | November 30, 2007 6:20 PM
omg !! i cant believe heather went home ! she was so beautiful and her portraits rocked !! that was the most stupid decision ever !!
Posted by: josh | November 30, 2007 2:39 PM
I hate Heather soo happy she is gone. I hope Bianca or Salesha wins, they both deserve it. Everyone has babied Heather since she got there It was time for her to leave and I'm just soo happy she is gone. Salesha is NOT FAKE!!! She is a compeditor and she knows how to play the game. I wish her all the luck. Jenah is trash she looks like trash I bet she even smells like trash. Has anyone noticed the HUGE gap in her front teeth? WOW talk about field goal posts. Chantel she looks like she belongs in a different type on movie the XXX ones. She looks like the perfect blow up doll. Bianca and Saleisha all the way!!!

i agree with what peeps are saying about this cycle... it kinda sux... i feel like the shoots themes are getting worse and worse and that it's hella about personality. i remember last cycle when jaslene kept getting called close to the bottom two almost every week because of her personality when her photos are/were AMAZING! The last actual good cycle i've seen was cycle 7 with Caridee... last cycle and this cycle haven't been too good at all and that's annoying.
go-sees bore the HELL out of me! there shouldn't be a time limit... they should all be able to go see all the designers... that would be the most fair way.
i was ready to see heather go but bianca should've gone before her. her pictures suck and if anyone on this AMERICA'S NEXT TOP PERSON WITH THE BEST PERSONALITY should go home it's HER! i want Chantal to win it all... i'm hoping it'll be either bianca or salisha who goes home next week... i wanna see Chantal and Jenah in the finale.
Posted by: hottstuff | November 29, 2007 10:08 PM
I agree, i was very disappointed that Heather was sent home. This season to me has been rather boring and Heather was the only reason why i watched. Btw, has anyone noticed the lack of time Tyra spends with the girls compared to other seasons?? It also seems like these girls are on their own this season..not much training or at least that challenging of challenges...
back to heather.. it sucks that she went home.. Jenah looks like crap every week..seriously she looks like she doenst ever brush her hair, she's just always messy. Bianca is conniving and bitchy. Saliesha is FAKE. Chantal is okay, but nothing i haven't seen before.
I won't watch this show again. =/ maybe next season will be better.
Posted by: val | November 29, 2007 6:01 PM
why you guys hatin on bianca i luv bianca and she desrves to win i like heather to but she does not luk like a model
Posted by: Anonymous | November 29, 2007 5:19 PM
I was also hoping Heather could go the distance. They knew what the requirements of the "job" were, and knew full well Heather's disability would hold her back. If they were truly fair, they would have accomodated her more... like maybe have someone take her to each appointment. But since Heather's pictures were so fabulous, maybe someone will take notice and hire her.
Posted by: toomuchjava | November 29, 2007 4:37 PM
This episode sucks.
Heather shouldn't be the one to go home.
Bianca should go home. She's so evil.
Saleisha is completely fake.
Jenah is right.
This is competition is about personality now.
I thought Heather would make it to the bottom two.
I really think Chantal is going to win even though I wanted Heather to win.
I would rather have Chantal win then Bianca, Saleisha, and jenah. Hopefully Chantal will win.
Posted by: Emma | November 29, 2007 3:57 PM
Tyra sucks.
Heather is much better than all the other girls and deserved to win.
Saleisha's hair stinks and
Bianca is a Bi**ch. This show is definitely about personality, NOT ABOUT GREAT PICTURES..
TO Heather. I look forward to seeing you work as real model... YOU R THE BEST... KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. YOU r a winner in my book..
TO Tyra: Stupid decision
Posted by: Nemz | November 29, 2007 1:43 PM
Soooooooo dissapointed. I'll never watch this show again. Heather deserved to be the winner if not one of the final two. What else is left? Bianca- pure evil
Saleisha - fake, makes me vomit
Jenah - looks like a homeless, so filthy
Chantal - a plastic exhibition doll
The program sucks!
Bring back Heather, now!!!!!
Posted by: Helen Soler | November 29, 2007 11:35 AM
I was disappointed that Heather didn't do so well on the go sees. I understand why she was sent home. I would have rathered see Jenah sent home. My daughter and I watch ANTM every Wednesday night. She is 12 and wants to become a model. She is developmental delayed. It is good for her to see someone that has issues in their life get so far in the competition.
