Did Sheena deserve to go home?
so… who found the house first?
oops sorry posted on the wrond place
I cant believe Sheena went home!! I could have sworn Elina was going home. OMG But i’m happy Sheena gone i never liked Sheena.
For me the best photo was Analeigh. McKey got called first for wearing that fierce clothes only.
I’m so bummed that sheena left. i didn’t see the episode, but she was definitely my favorite. I hope that Elina goes next, and that Analeigh wins.
Was Elina’s, Marjorie’s and Analeigh’s bath as weird as Sam made it out to be?
i’m a boy, so i find it kind of weird, but i think sam just tries to find reasons to dislike them.
What was with the Amazing Race-style challenge?
no idea? but the underground in amsterdam looks harder than the one where i lived, so i don’t blame them for having a hard time. i understand the need to be on time, but other than that i don’t think that challenge had any use.
Do you agree with Elina’s interpretation of legalized prostitution?
um, not really. i think in nearly every case, there’s more behind prostitution, sad stuff, than just wanting to do it, which is what she made it seem like.
What did you think of the red light district challenge?
i had no idea that there was any type of fashion going on in the red light district, so that was interesting.
Whose photo was the best? The worst?
i liked analeigh’s, actually, and mckey’s. i thought marjorie’s looked like she had a mini-head coming out of her back, elina’s was okay, sam’s was okay, sheena’s was okay.
Did Sheena deserve to go home?
i guess so, it was her time to go.
Was Elina’s, Marjorie’s and Analeigh’s bath as weird as Sam made it out to be?
I didn’t think it was weird at all, I think Sam is just a bit of a prude.
What was with the Amazing Race-style challenge?
I don’t know, it was pretty weird though. I didn’t like it.
Do you agree with Elina’s interpretation of legalized prostitution?
Yeah, it’s not so bad.
What did you think of the red light district challenge?
Loved it! Esp Marjorie, she was amazing!
Whose photo was the best? The worst?
I think Analeigh had the best photo. I think there were 2 reasons she wasn’t called first. 1) She was first last week with her commercial, 2) The judges are trying to show that Mckey is improving, rather than just kind of being there. So if she happens to win the show, then she’d have a challenge win AND a first-call out to prove that she kind of deserved to win. But I don’t like her so I hope she goes home soon. As for the worst photo, definitely Sheena.
Did Sheena deserve to go home?
She should have gone home after the balloon and ladder photo shoot! She’s been hooching up this competition for way too long, but still coasting by with lucky shots.
I only have one question to answer:
Did Sheena deserve to go home?
NO!!! I truly feel that she was “set up” to leave and I really take offense to all of the talk about her being a “hoochie” and “overly sexy.” Whatever. I am half Korean just like Sheena and having to hear all this “sexy-hoochie” talk repeatedly is borderline racist and purely stereotypical. Any other woman of Asian decent should know what I mean, and I think Sheena felt it as well but chose to be descrete about it and roll with the punches for the sake of the competition. The first few comments were excusable, but when it became a regular occurance anytime she was being discussed by the judges, I had had it. Miss J’s statement that she looked like she belonged in that window was rude! Why didn’t he just say “You should be a prostitute, Sheena. I think that’s where you belong!” The reason I feel that she was “set up” to leave begins with the Cover Girl commercial. Seriously, Analeigh’s commercial was not as good as Sheena’s. Sheena brought herself to it, she never once looked away from the camera until it was over and she was walking out the frame, and her movements were flawlessly fluid. She was articulate in her speech and looked beautiful all the while. I’m not saying Analeigh’s commercial sucked, but I don’t think she deserved to be called first. Now to this week’s episode…I don’t know how many of you were paying attention, but did you notice that every other girl was given the ropes as a prop for their photoshoot and Sheena was relegated to a horizontal pole? Exactly how fair was that? The other contestants were afforded much greater free range of motion for their photos. They could make their bodies have language, they had the option to create the image of falling and not to mention the use of the wind’s ability to accentuate the clothing in their poses. It was completely unfair. Nonetheless, I believe Sheena will be successful in whatever endeavors she chooses pursue. She presented herself to be intelligent, likable, willing to learn and she took everything seriously. Honestly, I think it would have been easier for them to have taught Sheena how to pose, than to try to help Elina get over her mental and emotional dysfunctionality with her control issues. But, hey, I almost forgot, Tyra is trying to save the world and thinks she can fix everybody. I’m rooting for McKey.
I hope Marjorie, Elina, Ana are the final 3,
