That's what I want to know! Did i miss something? Her disdain is pathological-I haven't heard him say anything nasty about her. By if picking her last is what makes her so angry...then someone neds their medication.

Your'e dead on! And I've noticed, like Betty, she is able to draw a few other contestant into her little game without the contestants actually knowing why they should disdain the person targeted. They just do.
I hope someone drops a house on her. ... Although I like the way she looks. She has amazing eyes.

I suggest that was the starting point for their feud.

Shes plotting to destroy Tyson because he took a bag of craft feathers out of her hand? Was there a huge arts and crafts feather shortage at Michaels that day? From what I saw, she had two entire adult sized emus worth of feathers in her arms-Someone needs to`let go' and move on.

Yes, definitley. I hate her, but I want her to cut my hair. I'm so conflicted.

I wonder how much of what we see is misconstrued. The editing, the people behind the scenes asking questions, egging on further comments...

It seems Tyson and Tabitha have been grouped together in the next elimination challenge - no doubt both will do their best despite their dislike for one another. I wonder how this all turns out... they aren't friendly as neither is on each other's MySpace friends. (Tabitha has Doctor Boogie, Danna and Theodore - Tyson has no one from the show)

Also, I thought she had to put back some of her feathers because it went over the amount of money she could spend. She had plenty of feathers, Tyson taking some did not cause a shortage for her at all. Her hatred towards Tyson really makes her look bad because there seems to be no reason for it.

I adore Tabatha! The editing is definitely making her look like the bitch of the show, but if you notice, she is always gracious to the other winners of the challenges (she even shook Tyson's hand). She takes her profession very seriously and sees this as a real competition. She hasn't said she "hates" Tyson; she has said she wants to kick his ass. And if the other competitors don't feel that same way, then what are they in the contest for?

Just like all reality shows, we never know what all is really said and seen behind the scenes. For the most part, the editors/producers cut and splice the show exactly how they want us to perceive it.

I would agree that Tabatha isn't presenting her most flattering light when she gets so absorbed with hating Tyson. I think it adversely affected her in the last elimination challenge, where Tyson soared (although I thought he was historically incorrect) and Tabatha faltered (even though she was truer to her period than Tyson was.)

But there are several things about Tabatha that still put her on top and gives her a deserved status as Alpha chick. One, she calls it like she sees it. Tyson does act like a creepy little weasel, case in point his model selection in the first episode where he smarmily hovered around the models and falsely affected charm in his introduction to his choice. Two, she's wildly talented. She doesn't always hit the mark, but she is in the top more often than she is in the bottom. Her talent is precisely why Tyson perceives her as a threat (and perhaps vice versa).

It is very important that Tabatha doesn't get too distracted with going after Tyson, especially now that she's getting compared with Betty the Hag. I disagree with that comparison because Betty was cruel, irrational, petty, and nowhere nearly as talented as Marcel. But for Tab's own good, she doesn't want to get pianted with that brush.

i know right? i mean she won the most challenges out of anybody so she must be good. but she's so mean loooking. her face looks pinched. like she smelled some poopy diapers everytime the camera pans into her face.

Found this on Tabitha's myspace site...

I enjoy competition, especially when it's good. I also don't have a problem with stating how I feel about someone, it is much better being honest than being two-faced.

If someone has beaten me fair and square i am a big enough person to shake their hand and congratulate them. Speaking your mind and being a good sport are two different things and I am a good sport and I will always give credit where it is due.

Not liking a persons personality doesn't mean i don't respect their work or their achievements

Its true - she's shook Tyson's hand when he won the last elimination round and acknowledged Evangelin's work with the garden shears.
