i can’t get into the live chat. is there something wrong with the page or is it just my computer?
jennifer–it doesn’t open until about 5 minutes before the show starts. come back in 20 minutes and it should be good to go!
hey im pedro from argentina…and i cant get into the chat either
try now!
Sam got called first but got eliminated? I’m a little confused!
moo-whoops! its fixed now!
hi erin, can you ask elina what her zodiac sign is? i have a hunch she’s a scorpio (like me!). thanks!!
How did you feel when everyone cheered about McKey being late?
They knew she was going to win. This is a competition… i think it was ok!
Was traveling by boat really practical?
I thought it was better than the little cars form cycle 6.
Why is Marjorie letting her nerves ruin everything? Thats how she is, she was probably like that in school too… I don’t think she will change.
Do you like it when Tyra plays photographer? NO!
Why was Jay the guest judge? I guess none of the people from the agency or the clients could go.
Whose before photo was the best? The worst? The best, even tough i do not like her, Sam’s. The worst, Marjorie’s.
Whose after photo was the best? The worst? I liked Analeigh’s, did not like Elina’s as much as i like other pictures of her.
Did Sam deserve to be called first?
No! her before picture was the best of the bunch, but analeigh’s and mckey’s after picture were so much better than the sam’s before one.
Hey, my cable went out five minutes before the show ended so could anyone tell me what happened? Thanks!
How did you feel when everyone cheered about McKey being late?
that was so ridiculous and unnecessary. they were at that modeling place and i’m sure that the people there were not impressed to hear them doing that. so so so so ridiculous. and also, i doubt mckey would do that to any of them.
Was traveling by boat really practical?
those were so slow, but that’s how it works in amsterdam. you either ride a bike, the metro, or a boat. it’s good for them to see how it works abroad and in europe, but i can see how they would be frustrated.
Why is Marjorie letting her nerves ruin everything?
because she is awkward and i’m sure she’s been doing it her whole life.
Do you like it when Tyra plays photographer?
i guess, most of the time. she’s good at it and all, but she should let jay direct – that is his job.
Why was Jay the guest judge?
no idea. it made me miss janice.
Whose before photo was the best? The worst?
sam’s were actually really good. analeigh’s after was amazing, i liked marjorie’s before more than her after, and elina and mckey did well too.
Did Sam deserve to be called first?
yeah i guess. as much as i don’t like her, her pictures were really really good.
kristin my cable went out 2 lol ………but the best before – sam after- mckey and i think its getting old that people dont think sam can model she has not had 1 bad pic week -1 good -2 fair -3 beautful -4flawless she was in the bmt2 cuz of her runway and it wasent that bad as he made it out 2 be -5 she fit right into the mod parsonia and she earned her first callout 6- she didnt get the idea but ended out with a good shot 7- i realatd with her 6 – great 7 -both her shots were great and she was called first cuz she was the best analigh will not win cuz she is not the best she was called 3rd not even 2ed cuz the was mckey her win was given 2 her for being 5 min late o and mckey wasnt called 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th the best call out in all 11 cycles good by marjlighe
How did you feel when everyone cheered about McKey being late?
I thought it was kind of juvenile, they didn’t need to make such a huge deal out of it.
Was traveling by boat really practical?
No, but it’s a fun way to travel while abroad!
Why is Marjorie letting her nerves ruin everything?
I think it’s just her personality, but I really wish it wouldn’t get to her, she has a lot of potential!
Do you like it when Tyra plays photographer?
I think it’s awesome. She coaches the girls and gets exactly what she wants. She also gets a first hand account to take with her to judging.
Why was Jay the guest judge?
I’m thinking last minute replacement, who knows.
Whose before photo was the best? Sam’s was gorg!
The worst? Marjorie, it just looks like she’s trying too hard.
Whose after photo was the best? I can’t decide between Mckey and Analeigh. They both have amazing poses and facial expressions. I think I like Analeigh’s just a bit more. The worst? Elina – yuck!
Did Sam deserve to be called first? I think so, while I didn’t like her ‘after’ picture the best, it’s only because I hate the wardrobe choice in it. Her pose is FIERCE!
