nnenna, sara, danielle, brooke. I'd like to see these as top four.
-danielle and nnenna both doing well.
-brooke seems to me to have a strong presence.
-sara does not, but so tall and lovely she should get some time to work at it.
joanie -haven't seen much of her, but she seems to be doing well, can come across strong.
-she just did great in the killerhigh black platform heels. add her to a top five.

two that stand out as unpleasant to watch:
gena -weak. irritatingly girly (nicole was also. but had the covergirly face going a long way for her.)
jade -offensive. irritatingly mean. makes her seem actually ugly. I'd most like to see her go.

who does that leave in the middle? along with
molly sue -neatlooking I like how she looks. but she's coming across flat...
keri -don't see her going far, but she's doing well and seems a sweetheart.
leslie -nothing compelling yet. but she's doing alright, seems good-humored. -oh she's only 18. and she is tall. 5'11?~
furonda

danielle did great this time. beautiful snow white. and joanie did great.
and darn it, jade did not do badly, won't go home. calling her first though? not needed - boo.
down to gena and keri and er they are going to give gena the further chance, boo.
so. 5 that I think are really good. 3 that are ok. 2 that I'd like to see out.
so that's ten total? is that right? ok: 3 have been eliminated: kathy, wendy, keri.

Here's my post makeover picks I'll stick with till the end:
1. Leslie. I'm sticking to my pre-show pick mainly because she looks so damn good and she had a great makeover. But more than that, I think it's better to peak late on this show rather than too early, and Leslie is probably where she needs to be right now. good point.
2. Nnenna. She's already looks like she'll win most of the challenges and she could be the this cycle's most consistant contestant. I just don't know if that will be enough given what happen to Nik. right.
3. Sara. Her new look doesn't appeal to her that much, but I think it looks great! IMO, she has the best bod of these hamsters. This girl needs to just loosen up.
4. Brooke. She's definitely my darkhorse pick this cycle. I thought her first two pics were crappy, but at least the judges recognize her potential.
If any of these four wins, I won't be disappointed.
-------------------------------
5. Mollie Sue. I love her new do. I love her new look. But something's missing with Mollie and I can't quite it figure out yet. Maybe it's because she doesn't look as excited about being on tv as everybody else.
6. Danielle. I actually find myself liking Danielle more and more as the show progresses. I just don't think CoverGirl will accept a Top Model who can't smile.
7. Joanie She's a lot prettier than I initially thought and could make the top five easy. That little cage dancing thing she did in front of the judges had my tongue on the floor, for damn sure. She just lacks edginess and her makeover didn't help in that department at all.
------------------------------
8. Kari. *Sigh* Pretty girl, great personality, but was completely disappointed with her makeover. Her face looks wide. Her hair looks wide. Her waist looks wide. She isn't going anywhere now.
9. Jade. Man, she's fallen from my graces. IMO, she should have been eliminated in the second episode. I hope the way she was humbled by the judges(especially Nigel) changes her tune a bit. Anyways, I like the change in hair color, but not the hair.
10. Furonda. Her bod's modelesque, but that face still ain't workin' for me. She'll be eliminated as the show trims-the-fat during the first 3-5 weeks.
11. Gina Tyra really let her down with that makeover/no makeover. Everyone says that she has nice cheek bones, blah, blah, blah. Then why didn't they give Gina a looked that highlighted those features? Her looks bores me.
_________________________________________________________
1. Nnenna
2. Danielle
3. Sara - Still prettier than Scarlett Johannsen! ah, who she does resemble.
4. Brooke - Love the lighter hair. Again, I don't usually go for the fug, but she's mesmerizing to me. good, right: mesmerizing.

1. Brooke - This girl has some amazing features and with the makeover she looks like a wonderful Hilary Swank + Piper Perabo hybrid. Now that the judges are starting to warm up to her, I want to predict that she may be an unexpected winner. ah Hilary Swank, there is something like.
2. Sara - I don't know if I "get" the new haircut. Still one of my favourites.
3. Nnenna - I'm starting to like her more, but I wish they had done something a little more interesting than just shaving her head. :/ Sometimes the obvious frontrunner still ends up winning, so I don't think she's out of it just yet.
4. Danielle - I'm glad that her amazing photo last week wasn't a fluke. She's got skills, but a bit of a mess in person. someone else compared her to Keenya. she's at least a lot more likeable.
5. Joanie - She didn't really stand out this week, but still one of my favourites.
6. Mollie Sue - The Mia Farrow cut really suits her, but the Jonathan Rhys-Meyers/Jamie Lee Curtis ah comparisons are very apparent in the Ice photo. :
...
Gina - Well, the token stupid one makes her presence known. Granted, Nicole was brick wall dumb, and she won last year, and obivously, showing that smart girls can be top models was never Tyra's priority (hello, Elyse!), but Gina is dumb in the L.A blonde kind of way... I think it's an act, a very well done one, and that is so much worse than Nicole's small town mind.

on tonite's episode:
-Poor Molly Sue, they are giving her the "no personality" edit. -And the Mollie Sue "no personality" arc begins.
-Sarah is my giantess. She's just gigantic and gangly and hot.
