Anyway I can't believe people like Ben, horrible person.

I do agree that his job is in part commenting on appearance, which does play a huge role in being a successful model.

I was surprised with Holly's outfit on the reunion. Those colored tights, especially when she sat down, gave the appearance of big legs.

Not a good choice, imo.

Holly looks great on pictures but if you are a super model you should also be able to talk normally.
She sounds like a squirrel and I think Ben was right, she does not have a personality.

Ben looks great on and off Pictures. He has a very special face. smashing.

Ronnie yes a nice guy maybe. America's sweetheart it seems? Why I do not understand.

Perry. Don't think he is the best not on pics but he does have personality.

For me the 2 best faces are Ben and Holly's.

Comments on Tyson and his mentoring the boys and how the girls didn't take advantage of it.

I have posted before that IMHO there is a clique made up of all the boys and that they were bullying the girls. Now even if the any girl had attempted to try to talk to Tyson I am sure the guys surrounding Tyson sent out a very clear message for the females to stay away. I can also see them also either talking over, interrupting and physically shoving the girls away. All done in a joking, light hearted manner indicating that on their part it was only a joke. Ha Ha. I think it is very telling that in what a 3 month period none of the females "talked" to Tyson to absorb his words of wisdom. Its not that they didn't want to learn. From the reunion I also go the impression that at least Tyson made himself available while Nikki did not.

I got that impression as well. It seems like the relationships between the boys and girls got to the point where the girls automatically shied away from anywhere the guys congregated.

Considering how modeling is one of the only businesses where women make a hell of a lot more money than men, I can see why Tyson took special care in mentoring the guys more. It's a shame that Nikki didn't do the same for the girls, and it irritated me a bit that she called Tyson out for playing favorites and mentoring the guys when she didn't make herself available to the girls. Tyson also had Naomi pop by and talk to everyone as well (I wish she had done so earlier in the season when there were more girls available to speak to her).

More annoying that Nikki didn't have the balls to say the reason the girls got kicked off because of the gay and female fanbase instead of the lame reason she gave instead.

I hope Ben comes last.

It seemed as if Nikki didn't even think of it. Or maybe she thought that wasn't a good idea? But from watching this show and reading, I really don't like Tyson much.

I wish they would have asked the girls about it. I wonder if they did try and he didn't acknowledge them? Or maybe it was less mentoring and more "hanging out."

Still. I think the choices for hosts were not that great. Nikki has no personality. I don't like Tyson's personality much. I liked the show early on, but ended up not being able to watch it later on in its season. By reading the boards, I was kinda glad I couldn't see it. Seems like they were showing more snapping and talking about people than actual modeling and working on their craft.

Ah well. I hope Holly or Ronnie win. Perry and Ben 's looks are too one-note for me. Holly seems to have the most photographic skills. There is just something about Ron's look I like. BUt really, any four of them sure are better than I could ever do (too short, too old, too fat)

I feel ANTM as wrong as it is sometimes, shows more modeling. Lately it's been all about the Perry thing, Holly vs. the guys and Bronnie.

Just from Nikki's reaction she obviously did not hang out with the girls and didn't even think to do so. I kinda get where Tyson is coming from. He propably didn't have anyone help him out in his career and he just wanted to help the gang out, but it turned out to be much more of a boys club. It could also be a personality thing. Tyson maybe a more people person and wanted to hangout, while Nikki was, like this is a job and once the shoot is over I am out of here. I don't think it even occurred to her to mentor the girls as that was not her job. She and Tyson are famous models who sit on a judges panel. She did what the job called for and felt that Tyson went beyond the scope of the job by "favoring" the boys.

Thought it was just me -- Perry shouldn't even be on the show -- absolutely nothing attractive about him. Ben walks horribly and Ronnie is no way "modelish." Holly is stunning -- as long as she doesn't speak.

As I have said before I don't think Perry is attractive at all. He has Lurch shoulders and a small upturned (piggish) nose. Yuck.
