I honestly don't think that at the end of that, Heather having austism had anything at all with Saleisha wanting a bed to herself. Cut her some slack.

If Saleisha had taken a single-person bed for herself, this wouldn't be an issue. But instead, she hopped onto a bed meant for at least two people and insisted it be hers. And she never offered to share - Heather was apparently expected to not have a bed in favor of Queen Saleisha.

Remember her interview after the show? She just talked about how much she wanted a big bed all to herself as though she deserved it.

Besides the bed situation give me 3 example of how she's this so called Class A bitch.

The shower situation, the patronizing attitude towards Heather shown in her confessional after Heather got sick, the patronizing attitude to pretty much everyone on the show...

Ehh. I'm pretty much over her winning. Why? Well, she doesn't seem to be doing anything (Jaslene was when she won), plenty of other cycle 9 girls are already getting a good amount of work, and once all the arguing in her thread cools down, there won't be much talk about her actual work.

Saleisha winning cycle 9 says more about Tyra's ego than about Saleisha.

Her personality did irk me and she came off being just as much of a princess as Chantal. Except when I refer to Chantal as being a princess, I mean it in a good way.

I was a little annoyed when she won as I feel the majority of the other girls deserved it over her. But at the same time the girls who didn't win are getting work and some, Lisa for example, are doing fantastic so I'm not bitter.

At the end of the day it's not Saleisha's fault she was picked to win, if you want be angry at someone it should be the judges.

Lisa has only booked two jobs the same amount as Saleisha. Bianca has four and Chantal has one.

I reiterate once again - it is just as much Saleisha's responsibility for the negative publicity of her win as it is Tyra's. She entered the competition voluntarily.

That was pretty much immature "mean girls" picking on a singled out girl. Had Heather been able to snatch a single bed, would Saleisha have shared the large bed with whoever was left?

From the way she talked about it in the interview? Probably not unless Bianca was going to kick her out of it or something.

Oh come on. What aspiring model would turn down that opportunity? Even if Saleisha was promised the win by Tyra before the competition startted, I still wouldn't blame Saleisha for saying "Sign me up!".

Whatever anyone wants to say about Saleisha, she's at least ambitious.

Winning ANTM was a great opportunity for her (imagine how much harder it'd be for her if she didn't have ANTM to get her jobs) and I would think Saleisha was stupid if she didn't take the opportunity.

But it wasn't an opportunity - the second her Tyra connections got out, her career was toast. If she'd continued on her own without Top Model, she wouldn't have *that* hanging over her head. What designer is going to hire her now when they know, or at least have the perception, that this girl needed a fixed competition to raise her profile? Plus she's never going to be able to shed the Tyra's pet label now.

Modeling is based on image and it is her own fault if she got involved in this and couldn't be bothered to stop for even a second and think about how it would look to enter a modeling competition judged by someone she had a close relationship with.
