I think the rule of being tall to be a model is not so accurate. Look at Kate Moss, she's 5'6" and she's a supermodel.

You have to have something extra to make up for the lack of height. Like Kate Moss, Devon Aoki, Daniela Freitas, or Maili. All of them have become successful models because they have something extra.

But anyways, I agree with thekitt. IF she wins, she will have the smallest fan base ever. Less than any previous winner.

Absolutely correct! Is what they call uniqueness. That thing that make them amazing in their own way that makes people forget that they are short.

How in the hell did Saleisha and Bianca make it further than Heather/Lisa/Victoria and even Sarah/Ebony/Kim? It makes no sense

Well Ebony quit, kim I agree was a ridiculous cut, Lisa was stupid cut too. Victoria's downfall was her personality and sarah it's cause they wanted a plus sized model and she wasn't exactly plus size (stupid reason if you ask me). I don't mind Saleisha she's comercial which is exactly what they're looking for. They don't want an all around model they want someone who can represent covergirl. That's what this contest has turned into.

Yes, but as I stated earlier, Saleisha isn't even a good commercial model
Look at Jenah/Saleisha's CG pics back to back for the final 6/3, Saleisha's are dreadful and Jenah, who many say can only do high fashion and never be a Cover Girl, knocks both pictures out of the ball park
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing Jenah doesn't have a leg up on Saleisha on is the simple fact that she DIDN'T go to T-zone, and unfortunately that's probably going to cost her the win

I don't think she's that bad and I dont' think Jenah is that bad either but I dont' get all the Jenah hype. Heather was miles better than Jenah (even though she annoyed me at times), same with lisa and victoria. To tell you the truth none of the girls this year really scream out to me. Not like the girls of the previous seasons anyways. Personally I think Saleisha is very comericial that's why the panel is still with her. She has that seventeen look, very young, very fresh which is what young readers are into. Jenah's looks are more like you said high fashion but I don't think she is the best comercial model.

I agree that Saleisha has that young, fresh look, which is what the sponsors want. She's also the one displaying the most personality. But unlike Chantal, who also has that, most of her better shots come across as forced to me. I don't think she's as natural as Jenah, Chantal, or even Sara. Now, her runway walk is killer, but photographically, she's the weakest. Honestly, I can't wait to see the judges try to explain how her portfolio is better than Chantal's or Jenah's. I can't even remember half her stuff before China, unless it's something like the dying tulip or the car parts (and that's only because of the moniker FORT has given her).

Well thats obviously what the show has turned in to....but Tyra continues to pretend that she is looking for a versatile model. She says it in the first episode of every season and almost every episode IN the season. So if thats the case, then why would she pick Saleisha...or Jenah really. [[Though Jenah's Covergirl photo shows she has potential to be commercial.]]

Well everyone knows she's improving, so you asking like how are they gonna make it seem like Saleisha's portfolios are better than Jenah's or Chantal's? By saying that she improved the most and rocked the final runway... That is probably enough to declare her the winner.

Dax · 12-08-2007, 10:44 PM

They can't make it seem like her portfolio is better than Chantal's and Jenah's. Even if they say she improved her portfolio is not the best and they have to judge it and probably she will lose with her pre- China photos because they were bad.

She only has three good photos, her car parts one and the last two. Chantal and Jenah have being doing amazing since episode 1.
