i'm sick of heather being babied throughout the competition. she got special treatment for the commercial shoot and still stunk it up worse than lisa. Heather will get eaten alive.

WOW!thats all i have to say about this week episode.haha.I adore Heather!she did a great job with the martial art thing and she deserve the reward.Bianca and suckleisha was acting like B****!they're annoying,they always like ganging up on Heather and Bianca was really mean,and that was good of chantal to solve the problem.I'm pretty damn mad at tyra n whoever edits the commercial,cause in judging everyone was edited nicely accept Heather they did not cut the bad takes and the photos were really heavily photoshop.all the girls looked so fake asspecialy Heather,they reduce the size of her nose and they edit out her mole.haha whatever.She did great tho.for the next week episode,they're going to do go sees(did i spell it right?)!!Jenah,the first time i think shes going to do bad or struggle in a shoot.haha.Hope Heather do well at the Go Sees

yeah, what is bianca's problem?!?!? and isnt it ironic how heather was still trying to be nice to her giving her a pep talk and all the challenge thing. i didnt like chantal when the show started, but she's been nice and considerate to heather consistently, even last week when they were all talking to heather about the shower scene, she was the only one who said something that didnt come out bluntly.

yes Chantal is so nice and sweet, specially with this b*tches x Heather drama, i'm starting to love her.

i got so mad when i saw Heather helping Bianca in the challenge.

Heather always needs people's attention, help, understanding and speical treatment, and it makes me feel sick everytime I watch her crying or emotional breakdown. Like Bianca said, being 21 years old and needing people to stand up for her is not so grown-up

I'll go there.
Heather has a disability. I hate referring to Aspgerer's in that way, but the truth of the matter is that's going to affect her consideration of certain things. The other girls don't need the "special treatment" Heather gets, so they don't get that treatment. I mean, if she were in a wheelchair, would you say that someone else holding the door constitutes "special treatment" and that she should grow up and open her own damn doors?

In the case of Heather's commercial this week, I think her critique was totally fair--Tyra said that yes, they will make efforts to help Heather in situations where her Asperger's or ADHD will be a hinderance. But they can't do all the work--Heather has to do her part and meet them halfway, and she didn't do that this week. She has that critique now and I hope she'll take it and improve.

Here's what I don't understand. I know that Heather delivered a bad commercial, but since when is having to feed lines (which is similar to being given cue cards) a kiss of death on ANTM? Heather did do badly, so I'm not making excuses for her performance, but in every other cycle, as far as I remember, at least one person has needed help with their lines, and Heather's no different.
Also, her problem remembering the lines has nothing to do with her Aspergers, (her ADHD, maybe.) Her disability caused her disconnection with the camera, but not her problem with her lines.
I'm just irritated that Tyra said that because you have a disability we gave you special treatment, when really, she's not getting any different treatment than girls in previous cycles who couldn't remember their lines.
