Make Me A Supermodel (US)

[Dax]

I really want Perry to go. While I think he's great in photographs and catwalk I can't stand his attitude. Most of this people seems very humble and nice and I can't stand the fact that he seems to think he's the king of the house.

Out of all of them I want Jackei to stay. She's a great model, she has a great personality and she's gorgeous.

I agree!! I'm hoping that there are enough people out there to get Perry off. I'm not that thrilled by either his appearance or his attitude. That being said, if things go for me as usual, he'll win the whole thing

[Dax]

I've been seeing polls in some sites and Shannon is their favorite girl and Jackie is at the bottom of being a fan favorite. That scares me.

By the way, I love Casey. I love how he doesn't want love, how he's just funny and sweet. He was really "invisible" for me but at the end I really like him now. I'm glad he's doing good.

I agree, if I remember correctly, the models all drew the animal they would use on the runway arbitrarily from "a hat", so why is Jackie being criticized for "drawing an easy animal.

I don't think they criticized her for drawing an easy animal...I think they criticized her for not doing more than just walk with it. I mean, she had a trained standard poodle! She didn't have to drag it down the catwalk or carry it because it might act up. So while everyone else was practicing just getting down the catwalk, she could have been practicing something different to stand out...and she didn't. She just walked.

Frankie- I don't see him winning this. I became tired of his long hair but I hate the new cut.

Shannon- She has a good disposition and a genuinely nice girl.

Ben- I wish they had advised him to grow his hair. I am sick of the jail guard, tough guy buzz cut. His face is beautiful and you would notice it more with some hair. He can't win this.

Jackie- She is good but I am tired of her. I have no clue why. No nifty personality is surfacing, perhaps.

Casey and Ronnie- Adorable, sweet, cute men!

Perry- If his arrogance didn't grate on you, his attitude about being in the bottom 3 should. He was shocked! He thought he had this in the bag. I think he is going home.

Here’s what bothers me about the judging – they’ve blurred the lines between evaluating what happens backstage and what happens onstage.

They’ve got to stick to judging the photographs, catwalk, and comments from the outside guest professionals period. In other words, only score what the models bring to their performance.

The fact that the judges participate in the preparation / challenge process taints their perception. How can it not? “So and so didn’t take my advice” or has a bad attitude, or smokes or complains, or was sick, or has a crush on someone else, or has a feud with another model. If you are going to let that stuff in to the judging process then ANYONE can qualify for the bottom three, based on how they have come across to the judges during the week. And from some of he judge's comments, I get the impression that they are seeing the previews of the footage shot that week before the catwalk occurs.

Along the same lines, they need to bring in different judges from time to time. Project Runway has a guest judge every week. It challenges the rest of the panel with a fresh pair of eyes. With the same people every week the history becomes too embedded and existing impressions are impossible to overcome.

The weakness of the judging process is making this show less a professional competition and more of a Big Brother type show.

Why? Most people will agree that Tyra Banks is so far up her ass she can see her spleen, but she speaks the truth about the importance of personality. Take for example Brittany from cycle 8. Gorgeous girl who took gorgeous photographs, but she did not get booked for one single go-see she went to. Simple. The Sydney clients didn't like her personality.

Likewise with MMAS, I think one of the reasons the producers want America's input is because America buys the clothes. Who wants to buy something from an ad campaign featuring a model we can't stand?

A fair point; but everything you know about a model is in the picture or on the runway. We know nothing about them in "real life".

I do agree, though that how the models come across to photographers, etc., is important and should be considered.

On the other hard, whether or not Frankie decides to cut his hair,for example, is irrelevant in my opinion. If he wants to keep the" Fabio" look, let him. The outcome should be determined by the pictures, not by a judge feeling his advice was ignored. Which is why the judges need to get themselves out of the mentoring role.

My thoughts - such as they're worth!

Perry- actually I felt just a TINY bit sorry for him. Up to now, he had not gotten any real criticism from the judges -just praise. And then gets lambasted by everyone. So I can understand his confusion. Still don't like him though!

Ben - I think Ben really needs to go. There is something about his face, maybe his mouth? that doesn't look attractive. And I hate the buzz cut. He seems to have hit a wall with his ability.

Frankie - definitely glad he cut his hair. models need to adapt and he did the smart thing. C'mon, its just hair, although I'm not crazy about the style. He definitely felt looser this week.

Ronnie - Yay! Glad he's trying and concentrating on himself!!!

Casey - Good for him for getting in that tank. Excellent pics.

Shannon - photoshoot was a disaster but her runway saved her this week. I'll bet the judges will be hard on her from now on.

Holly - Well, she was sick and had to be underwater but still tried really hard. Her runway was excellent as usual.

Jackie - annoying. The judges were annoyed BECAUSE she had the easiest animal and then proceeded to totally ignore it. Don't like her walk, too bouncy/jiggly.

Jackie' walk reminds me of Nik's walk in Cycle 5 of ANTM. Too jiggly. While I like the walk she needs to slow down a bit and show some versatility. That walk is not going to work for every fashion show she will be on.
