America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 Cast Revealed — Page 4

I said that last night, Mister Matt! I LOVED that praying mantis.

I actually like everyone who's left besides Celia. I couldn't care less about her ratting out other girls at panel, but I think she's just...awful looking. I haven't been impressed with any of her photos, and she looks downright ancient in a couple of them (Ellis Island comes to mind). Fo's getting a bit of a 'tude, but I still think she's cute. Allison is amazing looking, and super unique. Tiana photographs wonderfully, and Aminat is one of the most striking women I've ever seen (face, body, everything), and really likeable. I just wish she could pull out a good picture!

I don't think Aminat can win. In the bottom two too often. I don't even think she's likeable. But she does remind me of Danielle, who I liked very much. Go figure!

Alright, I KNOW that I said that Aminat was my pick to win...but I ALSO said that I liked Allison but I thought that her end was coming soon. She was in the bottom 2 too much! However, SHE was the one that I really liked and the one that I REALLY want to win. I think she is SO pretty! I LOVE her eyes and I love her (new and fake) blonde hair!
She seems to be doing much better, so hopefully she can keep it up!
Unfortunately, it looked like she was having some trouble on the Go-See's, and I CAN see that happening (But she can't be any worse than Heather or Marjorie!!!!!!).

Also, even though they say that Allison's look is all the same and were so happy that she had a DIFFERENT look, it looked like she was just looking UP. At any rate they were happy, so I am glad.

I did say that I thought that Aminat was going to win. I think she is pretty in person, but not so much in pictures. Also, she seems to be doing a "Danielle" when she speaks!

Tyra's comment about Celia "not looking fresh" I think will seal her doom. I think the designers will also say that about her on the Go-See's.

I also like Fo (and I am also from New Mexico too), so I don't mind that she is here!

The one girl who I don't like is Teyona, so I hope that someone else can win! What I don't like about her is what the judges like...her face! I just don't think she is as pretty as the rest and I think she has WAY WAY WAY too much forehead exposed. I think it even goes past her forehead and goes to the top of her head. Personality-wise I don't really have much to go off of, other than she just seems to follow Aminat...you could say the same thing about Allison with Celia, but I think Allison is pretty so it doesn't matter :)

As for the talking back, I think it pretty much boils down to editing. With fewer girls left, they probably just kept in more of the panel discussion. But it did seem to bite Natalie in the ass. Hee!

Is it "Teyona"? I think I prefer "Tiana". Somebody get me her agent on the phone. It's better than "Furonda", at least.

Celia has been rocking the style in panel, but HOLY COW did Aminat look fabulous! That was the second best panel appearance in ANTM history next to McKey's chain-mail dress last Cycle.

And as usual, I loved Nigel's patterned shirt. That man has impeccable taste.

I agree that her name should be spelled Tiana...but it is spelled Teyona...which I always think is pronounced "Tay-Yona"...which does not sound as pretty.

Have you all noticed (and there is NO WAY that you could not have noticed) that Miss J. always has to be some sort of a bufoon/something like that at judging with his growing neck tie(or growing afro, ect.) each time?

I wish that Tyra or the producers or J. or whomever would come up with more creative choices if they are going to do that.

Oh I like it, I just think that they are getting a bit lame as they run out of good ideas!

My favorite was the first one with the flowered corsage!

Well...not a huge surprise there. Looks like it's Teyona's to lose at this point. I don't think there has been a less suspenseful Cycle since the Naima/Yaya showdown. Oh wait...Samantha made it to the final 2 last Cycle. Never mind.

I have a feeling the ability to do commercials is not an essential. I'm guessing that when a client needs a model to speak and sell a product, they use someone who's good at that.

---

"I don't understand why they came down so hard on Danielle in her season about her southern accent but they said nothing about Teyona's and Aminat's lack of diction and horrible delivery."

I said the same thing! Danielle is one of my favorite winners and Teyonne Aminat couldnt share the same runway...

"I don't think there has been a less suspenseful Cycle since the Naima/Yaya showdown."

Oh, my dear Matt! I'm so disappointed! Different Cycles...it was Eva/Yaya and Naima/Kahlen!

Alison was a dark horse from the beginning and she improved more than any other model I can remember. She also came out of her shell so much at panel and was GORGeous at the final judging! I was really proud of how she worked that runway, because she seemed to always psych herself out in the past. She deserved to win. I also loved her 'birds nest' shot.

So sad this cycle is over.

---

Teyonne definitely took surprisingly good pictures, and they often forgive a bad commercial (why bother doing it, I always feel). I felt that Alison had room to grow even more, however.
It's lame to use the "one girl wants it just a little bit more" reasoning.

Now that it's short girls, I suspect it's time for an asian top model.

"I don't understand why they came down so hard on Danielle in her season about her southern accent but they said nothing about Teyona's and Aminat's lack of diction and horrible delivery."

Me too! I hated that they came down so hard on Danielle for her southern accent yet said nothing about Yaslene!?
