Reality TV - America's Next Top Model Cycle 11 Appreciation #1 - Page 3

I liked last night's episode. I thought the girls were being overly picky with Hannah but she was also being insensitive and not understanding how she comes off. And then when she said that the girls picking on her was like "gang violence" I was completely done with her. To not understand that calling a bunch of women of color a "gang" implies that you think because they're of color, their association must equal a gang.

But moving on, I hate seeing Isis struggle so much. I also really like Annaleigh. I like how exaggerated her features are. I also like Sheena but she's a bit of an enigma to me. It's like she doesn't even KNOW how not to be sexual. They tell you not to hooch it up and you put a bag near your vagina, clench a ladder with you butt like a stripper, and show up at judging in booty shorts and heels. Hmmm ....

Yeah, Sheena is very hoochie.....
I didn't like the whole "gang" reference either.

I am still super excited for make-overs next week!

I still love Hannah and I believe she's getting a lot of undeserved crap. I mean, girls were accusing her of being racist in front of everybody - not to mention America - what else was she gonna do? I don't think she meant to come off the way she did, I just think she was uncomfortable with the situation and came off a little badly. It happens to me sometimes too.

I also think that the girls jumped down her throats way too fast. She said, "I'm your typical white girl." and now she's a racist. OKAY. I've heard many, many black women refer to white girls as white girls & saying that they are "typical" white girls and that's fine & dandy for them to say. But when a white girl says it she's automatically racist and that bothers me. Also a gang can mean a group of people, not just a black or Hispanic group of people.

I was very happy with who left, I didn't like her at all. I also can't stand Sheena at all, she drives me up a wall. No real major opinions of anybody else.

I can't wait for the makeovers as well!

They didn't 'accuse' her of being racist. They asked her if she was racist.

stormy eyes · 09-11-2008, 04:18 PM

It's the same thing IMO. I wouldn't just go around and ask somebody if they were racist just to ask. You don't ask somebody that type of question unless you think they are which means you're accusing them.

They didn't ask her just for the sake of asking, they asked her because of her comments and attitude.

She did make racist/prejudice comments and they had every right to come out and ask her.

The main comment that stands out is her stereotype/prejudice about black girls and when they walk into a room they're all like "Hey y'all!" really loudly.

Which obviously was offensive to Brittany who is a black girl and was sitting right there.

Understandably, Hannah didn't mean for it to come out that way, but it did so it came across as discriminatory.

IMO it's not the same thing. It was a question and she walked away acting like a victim.

~Unfaithful~ · 09-11-2008, 05:00 PM

She's playing the poor me thing too well IMO. My neighbor and I were laughing at her the whole time, she seems like she is 12 and is trying to be cool and talk smack and it's backfiring big time, so then she cries for sympathy......IDK, maybe my out look on her will change after a few more episodes.

**White Noise** · 09-11-2008, 05:37 PM

You said exactly what I was thinking.

I mean I think she meant well, but because of her small town upbringing, she's not used to such different personalities and diversity, and the main point is, be careful how you say things.

Hannah was saying that felt like gang-violence or gang-rape. Really? I doubt she would have said that if Elina and Clark asked her a question. Those girls were not even mean about it. Hannah gave some half-assed apology and walked away.

**White Noise** · 09-12-2008, 12:00 AM

^^ I agree. She walked away from it, rather than confronting it.

The fact that she said "gang-violence or gang-rape" was another stereotype, she doesn't know what she's talking about. She's in the real world now, not a small town, and she has to think about what she says and how she says it.

I really don't think she meant to be discriminatory but she was.

happy with who left!

hannah is getting on my nerves! i DESPISE it when some girls try to use the 'small town' thing. i live in a small town and no WAY would i ever even think of some things that came from her mouth...they were just rude and disrespectful, i mean gang rape.... really? and then not even listening to how she comes across... shows ignorance to me... but that's just IMO

Lauren Brie's photo was AMAZING! hopefully Isis can rebound from this week!

MAKEOVERS! probably my favorite episode in any season! can't wait to see who is going to be the crier!

**White Noise** · 09-12-2008, 10:10 AM

I can't wait for the make overs!

collide · 09-12-2008, 10:40 AM

lol. I love the makeovers. I don't know if they should make the girls get them, though. Or at least nothing too drastic. Especially, when there is no guarantee that they're going to win.

**White Noise** · 09-12-2008, 11:29 AM

Yeah but a makeover can make you.

Linda Evangelista (spelling?) hit supermodel status after she chopped off all her hair.

I'm more concerned about when the makeovers turn out badly. Sometimes they hurt the model more than help them or make them look fake. Tbh, I wish Whitney would go back to her dark hair, that made her more edgy. Sometimes Tyra goes overboard. But I really want to see McKey with better hair. Either she has a wig or something but her hair doesn't seem to sit right on her head.
