“It was very, very shady. I think the judges thought that I lied and that’s why I got sent home. I have a feeling Tyra and Jay [Manuel] don’t really click that well because they have totally different ideas, especially for the Carmen Miranda shoot. The girls that Jay said were doing bad got great photos in panel, and vice versa. I have a feeling they didn’t even really communicate because to have completely opposite ideas that you want the girls to do is completely ridiculous and unfair … Tyra definitely has a soft spot for Aminat and Teyona. I think she just loves [their] personalities. I feel like they’re most relatable to Tyra, since Tyra was a black model struggling. I think she has a hidden emotional connection with the black girls, and I think that’s where a lot of favoritism comes from. I’m not accusing her of it, but that’s just my opinion.”
Natalie Pack, who was recently booted from ANTM, on Tyra Banks and her favoritism.
yeah….likely story. B*TCH!
Wow, she is going to get black balled so hard now. You don’t mess with Tyra.
She is so stupid, she lost because she was boring, all her photos looked the same. A top model needs personality.
Tyra isn’t racist, there have been many white girls that have won in the past.
i mean i do agree with her. i think tyra does pick favorites and i think her jay did have different ideas about that particular shoot and it screwed some of the girls over, BUT natalie sucked. she was/is a snobby bitch who was only an ok model because she is pretty. the others are much better.
Tyra totally does have her favourites, but she doesn’t seem to base them on what race the models are. Right now she is obsessed with Allison, who is white and so bizarrely gorgeous that she’s managed to stay despite the fact that she makes the same face in every damn picture.
I agree with you–Natalie is a snotty bitch and I’m fine with her getting kicked off. The fact that she starts pulling the race card makes it even more obvious that she’s a useless human being. Since season 1, there have been 4 black winners, 5 white winners, and 2 hispanic winners.
OMIGOD SO BIASED AGAINST WHITE GIRLS WAAAAAAH
Um .. 4 black winners, 5 white winners and 2 hispanic winners does not reflect the proportions of society as a whole. I actually think it’s a GOOD thing to favor minorities in these competitions because they’re poorly represented in fashion. But let’s call a spade a spade: Tyra is definitely biased towards black contestants.
I disagree
Ugh. And THIS is why I was so happy when she got booted off. She was snobby, stuck up, negative and self absorbed. Girl seriously needs a reality check. She’s just bitter because she really had the least amount of talent amongst all of the girls. IMHO, I think Fo will win. She was the one I predicted at the beginning of the show to win. I really hope she does. :-p
Alright this might sound dumb but someone please tell me wtf IMHO is?!
in my humble opinion
I think (don’t qoute me) In My Honest Opinion
I could be way off though and for all I know it could mean “I mean hotsauce, OK?” or ” Iguanas make houses old” or something just as mundane and silly.
I’m a Fo fan too! Haha. I don’t think she’ll win, but she’s gorgeous and easily my favorite. Peace out Natalie!
what a sore loser!
To me, Tyra is annoying. She always finds a way to pull a story back to herself.
Example, “Oh you’re living in poverty now? WELL, IIIII used to also live in poverty… but ten times worse than you.” Oprah does that too.
she also does that on her talk show. Whenever some guest is explaining a traumatic experience they have had Tyra’s like “well I got treated worse then YOU did” she is so full of shit. Did anyone watch that interview she did with Naomi Campbell a while back, Tyra was acting like a baby moping to Naomi about things that she said and Naomi’s like “wtf, why is she dwelling on shit that I said to her in the past, get the fuck over it” and Tyra was just sooo desperate for people to feel bad for her.
Look, I get that she helps girls out and has her own organization and bla bla, but she doesn’t have to shove it in everyones face all the time about being a “super model”. It is beyond ANNOYING and 110% narcissistic.
i seriously thought that was Tyra’s wax statue, and not an actual picture of her. And that top button on her shirt is holding on for dear life.
here i am commenting again when i could hardly give a nanocrap.
BUT…maybe they just used any damn excuse they could to get rid of her cuz she was such a hater! Like Tyra told dude (jay)….”tell her to stay in that one pose cuz it looks great!! and then we’ll tell her that her pictures suck because they lack variety BWAHAHAHAH…”
Just to make her mad. hee
Bah, ANTM stopped being fair after cycle 2. I mean, remember when Naima won?? That’s when I stopped watching.
Eh, I hope she knows she’s hurting herself more than she is hurting Tyra. She’s not going to get any jobs talking that way.
Fine with me though, she’s awful.
I really like the show but I do think they play favorites. Like, now is the cycle where a plus-size will win (that’s the last time that will happen ,too); okay, it’s time for a blonde to win; it’s time for someone quirky to win. I think it’s skewed because they only judge one photo and everyone has to have a crap photo or two in their shoot.
I Mean Hotsauce, Okay.
:o)
who is plus sized?
Whitney Thompson, winner of Cycle 10. I don’t think you get what I am saying.
exactly she won cycle 10, which isn’t this cycle. do you get what I’m saying? idiot
dude, try to read Gail’s comment again. She was saying what the producers, etc, would be saying at the start of a specific episode… such as, this one a plus-size girl should win. Gail was referring to cycle 10, when a plus-sized girl did win. She is saying that she thinks they are basically going into each cycle with a pretty clear idea of what kind of girl they want to win.
Don’t call people idiots just because you don’t understand what they are saying. I understood what she meant.
tyra is going to make a very weird looking old person one day.
that wig is ridiculous
So what if Tyra has favourites???!? She’s allowed to its her show and she modelled professionally for years, she knows her shit. She’ll especially favour black girls, why shouldn’t she??
Natalie was bland and up herself, already convinced she’d won. She just wants exposure now
she shouldn’t favour a certain ethnicity because it’s racist.
i agree, i hate it when she favors black girls, because there have been more beatiful and talented girls who were kicked out just to keep a black girl in the show, prove of it?, is that almost non-ANTM-winners are succesful and most of the winners are hated and forgotten
