Her portfolio looks as if it was all done in one week. Same empty expression in almost every shot, no really interesting poses, no improvement or progression that I can see. The gargoyle and burning car shots are okay, and that's about it.
But maybe Ms. T will surprise us all. Maybe it somehow came to her attention that fans of the show have caught on that Saleisha's been getting a free ride to Beijing. Maybe someone else will win. And maybe I live in a fantasy world.

seriously, they criticized Lisa so much for her burning car picture, but i'm sure they could have picked a shot like Saleisha's where she was just standing there looking pretty. it's just such clear favoritism. who cares that Saleisha is confident if she doesn't take good pictures in the first place. i think she has potential but this is just annoying.

This is from Heather's BuddyTV interview:

Were the go-sees in China very frustrating for you?

Yeah, they were. It's very hard to find anything in the city, and then I got rained on. Saleisha was the only one who had the umbrella. There was only one umbrella in that hotel, so she automatically got it because her wig would have turned into an afro if she didn't have it.

Oh man. P: Saleisha with an afro would be heelarious.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS GIRL. She is arrogant, bitch, and sooo not beautiful. HOWEVER, as much as i hate her.. the girl clearly has something on her: she won then challenge when they were paired up with student fashion designers,when they had to show off their outfits as well as explain their dresses; the girl "who desperately needs a nose job" editor in chieff os seventeen.. and neil hamil the oldie from elite.. the suckers loooved her. Collen Queen loved her also.. people from the industry who know her really get their vibe.. so. she must have something AMERICA does not see.,

Yeah, but she didn't even win the go sees. I think they were told to judge on confidence and poise, so yeah of course Saleisha won that she was the most poised. Also, I think Colleen Quen was looking for a good walker out of the group who seemed confident. Saleisha walked well and had a vibrant expression on her face. It was so early in the season and the girls had such little training that it was kind of unfair and of course the girl with the most experience won, the other girls were still total amateurs! Now think of the praise Bianca got in the go-sees, the praise Ebony and Jenah got from Lionel Duly (a famous fashion photographer), the fact that Lisa and Heather were chosen for their looks in the music video, Chantal being called a "superstar" by the Elite guy. Saleisha's gimpy challenge wins don't really compare. So what she is confident? if they think she takes dull pictures she still won't get the job.

Even in an interview that you can't hear Heather she is absolutely hilarious and cute.

More favoritism? Is it a surprise at this point?

But Heather was clear that she helped her especially with her walk. I don't dislke her as much as not like her look as much as the remaining girls. Now Tyra, and putting her in this position, I do disagree with.

i think personally Saleisha's not ugly at all...
but all the connection with Tyra's (T-Zone, ANTM Catwalk, Tyra Show, etc)
which make this WIN thing so unfair & make her look Uglier than she suppossed to be...

well maybe this is the time for America's to pick
Average Next Top Model Look...
at least she had the good walk

& we'll see if She could BREAK ANTM Tag
IF she wore the Crown
