Top Model: NYC! Paulina! Double Elimination... And a Homeless Shoot?

Was anyone else raging mad after watching this episode, or was it just us?

The girls' homeless shoot

To put a spotlight on homeless youth, the girls posed for a photo shoot with real homeless youth. Um, offensive much? This shoot was all kinds of wrong. Can you imagine what the real homeless people were thinking? Somehow we doubt that living on the streets involves personal stylists and perfectly tilted ragamuffin-style ski caps. What did you think -- are we taking it too seriously, or was the shoot offensive?

But that wasn't all that happened. The girls did a high-fashion runway in Times Square for Badgley Mischka. What an upgrade! A few cycles back they were modeling for Goodwill in the second episode!). Paulina Porizkova made her debut, dishing out some rather harsh criticism to the girls. Yeah, we get that everything doesn't need to be sugarcoated, but is it really going to help Dominique to hear that she has a tranny vibe going on? Some of Paulina's comments seemed more hurtful than helpful. She's certainly a change from Twiggy! Did you like Paulina?

Meanwhile, the show might've been called the Marvita/Fatima Hour, because those two took up most of the airtime.

We have to say -- we have beefs with both of them. Fatima is condescending and full of herself, but Marvita's extremely sensitive and tends to overreact. Needless to say, they don't exactly bring out the best in each other. They seem to have reached a truce for now, but will it last?

Oh, and we can't forget the double elimination. Did you think Atalya deserved to go home, or would you have liked to see her get another chance? And what about Kim choosing to leave? Um, Kim, if you're not into fashion, you may have signed up for the wrong reality show.

So what did you think? Are you loving the NYC environment? Is Paulina shaking things up the way you'd like? Was the homeless shoot awesome or horrific? And which girls are driving you absolutely crazy? Tell us all in the comments!

I THINK PAULINA IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND AN ASSET TO THE SHOW...A REAL MODEL!!!! LISTEN TO HER AND LEARN.

First off, my girls and I love this show and it has yet to bore us.... and I know everyone is all angry at Kim for quitting, but I think they misunderstood what she was trying to say. I understand her veiw point- you can dress in clothing that costs a lot less than designer outfits and look just as nice. There are so many other things in this world that you can spend your money on or give your money to. I also think that she could have made a fabulous model without loosing her dignity in regards to her beliefs. As Tyra said she could be a model that doesn't personally dress in designer outfits. There's nothing wrong with seperating your working life from your personal life. Not wanting to spend thousands of dollars on your own wardrobe does not mean you can't still be interested in modeling. Modeling is not just about clothing lines either. I think the judges mistook her message- she still wanted to be a model and was interested in fashion, she just believed you can still be fashionable in a less expensive way.

Paulina was awesome! I am so happy Twiggy is gone - she was a complete and total bore. Paulina brought smart, insightful and witty comments. She was honest and up-front and believe me - some of those girls really need some honesty. She is a great addition and will make the show interesting again. I was tired of yawning after Janice left and Paulina has to wit and forthright attitude of Janice but with class, style and elegance!

yes i was upset about last nights episode atalya should have stayed longer

I think Paulina is just trying to be the Simon that every reality show with a judge has. After Simon started with American Idol every reality judging show must have that one person that is like him to put drama and hate into the show ex. Janice Dickerson, Twiggy (more nice than bad but a smart mouth no less).
Fatimah she is so on top of my nerve and as stated above yes why do these people come on these show with their sad youthful lives and cry in front of the judges. Do they honestly think that they are going to win because they were once homeless or abused or circumsized. To me that is what they use as leverage in case their photo shoots don't come out good. Fatimah was in the waiting room taunting that girl calling her a bitch and then went in front of Panel and broke down in tears because of what happened to her. Where was all of taht when she was in the back being a bully. Is it that serious is she kidding me. I don't like her and I hope she goes home soon and how will becoming America's next top Model help her bring so much attention to women circumcision in another country stop the drama and the bull please.
The homeless shoot I am both ok with it and a little displeased. You have these women doing shoots with high fashion how about give them a home and some hookups so they don't have to be homeless. But it does make the general population aware that teens are indeed homeless and homelessness does not mean that you are some drunk who couldnt cut it in life.
And yes Marvita yes Fatimah keeps taunting her but really how far is she going on this show hopefully before they kick her off she will get her gap in her mouth fixed thatll be a nice perk and a makeover.
Kim why oh why she just wanted to be on tv because she resembles reece witherspoon so she just wanted to be noticed. Why would you come on that show or try out for the show if fashion is not your things you don't agree with paying that amount of money for an outfit then why did you even stay when yo were chosen I would rather see one of those other girls who wanted to be there get picked I don't know y they picked her anyway and her face looks pushed in like a pug dog. She was a serious waste the idiot.
Atailya she was annoying with her stupid baby sounding illiterate I lived at home sounding voice she needs to grow up then try again.
Stacy ann please stop sounding like a stupid baby gosh your voice is so annoying grow up idiot
And that girl I don't even remember her name she cant walk in heels and she sucks shes not even model like get off the show boy

i loved Paulina! It's not like she said anything meanly, she had a really pleasant tone

I can't stand Paulina already! i want twiggy back! And kim is so retarded, dats why she left anyways. And i think Atalya should of got another chance.

I think that the show was good. I know all the homeless youth in this eposode. I think that it was good to get the word out. Especially with homeless LGBTQ youth

Okay, not to be too politically correct, but does anyone think about how "trannies" feel when that word is tossed around as a way to tell a woman she is not as pretty as she thinks she is.

Next, Fatima got on my bad side. I can't stand when people think you have to share your sob story with them in order to get respect. You can have a happy childhood and still be a decent person. Get over it.

Lastly, I am glad Marvita wasn't eliminated after her fashion show fiasco. If she learns to keep her head up and her mouth shut, she just might take this whole thing.

I personally think Kim was the most prettiest on the show. Yet I don't live in the USA, I have seen her starting picture here on the site...

WHITNEY for the win! She is stunningly gorgeous and confident.

Fatima is lovely, but as soon as she opens her mouth I want to punch her. Major superiority complex.

Hi. A lot of people thought the homeless photo shoot was offensive but i have mixed feelings. It was an opportunity for those girls to pose for high fashion,but i didn't like the 'Top Models'posing as homeless. I'm glad someone pointed out Fatima's flaws. I don't like the show in N.Y. but i did like the fashion show in Times Square. I don't like the girls on this season. I miss Twiggy.

Honey, if Marvita can still be in it, Ms. J could be America's Next Top Model.

Lauren is still in it?
She has no looks, a sausage body, and short legs! How is this happening!?!
