I totally agree. And when she was called first at panel she literally looked disappointed, like she wanted to go home. She wasn't smiling or anything. I really think that they are just keeping her around so people can laugh at the awkwardness, which isn't good. She said in the first episode that her friends or something made her do it. She doesn't even try. I think this is the only girl in the whole history of top model that has wanted to go home so bad. Some girls aren't all there or just apathetic but she looks like she hates it, she would never model in the real world. She continually keeps saying she would rather be home watching zombie movies ( ) so I think it's bullshit that they're keeping her around.

With Claire, thank god they evened out her hair, but the blonde is horrendous. She doesn't look chic, she looks like some futuristic robot.

Claire just isn't a model to me. Her face is too mushy. Fatima is the only one who looks like a model (literally - Iman), but she won't win because they can't upset their black:white ratio.

I think her bitchy tendancies will get the best of her - Fatima. Plus they said last week that her film was bad.

We shall see.

Mushy is a really good description of Claire's face.

I never understand why it's such a big deal when a girl's "film is bad." Sure, it's good to have options, but if you have at least one good photo, it's not like you would have used the other good ones if you had them anyway. And the criticism of Fatima's modelling ("you only model above the waist!") was boneheaded. I am not surprised that a girl with a mutiliated vagina isn't eager to spread her legs when she's only wearing white lace underwear. Tyra's too stupid to connect the dots, but she was making fun of a habit Fatima developed due to intense shame. Her face looked GORGEOUS though. Stacey Ann was called before her.

Obviously the film being bad limits the photographer and clients choices. It might also reflect how they pose or them being photogenic or whatever.

I don't get the big deal either but they say that shit all the time! I didn't think about the Fatima thing when they told her she modeled from the waist up but what you said makes sense.
