I'm not making excuses for her, but I kind of feel bad for Hanna. I just think she's lived a very sheltered life, surrounded by people exactly like her. It seems like she hasn't had an opportunity to learn about other cultures and people different from her in any way. She seems like a genuinely nice and caring girl and I suspect that this experience will be an eye opener to her.

But she also seems like she is not open to learning about how other people live or about their culture. I got the feeling she does not like "Ghetto" not necessarily black people and she is not open to knowing why other people are the way they are.

Yeah... It's possible. I guess it could go either way. I'm going to give her another episode before I say she's not willing to learn. I have hope! haha

haha, Ok. How kind of you! :)

I agree with KT, sorry Stacee. i think she has just lived a sheltered life and hasn't learned about what to say and what not say. I like her though. And Clark showed some potential last photo shoot, I have a bad feeling she will do good.

Samantha looks freaking GREAT. I love Marjories look too. BTW.. Clark (no e) isn't even cute.. and her makeover made her worse. YUCK.

Samantha does look great!! Lauren Brie is gorgeous, her picture was incredible. As well as Mckey and Elina. Right now my favorites are, Lauren Brie, Clark, Samantha, Mckey and Elina.

I was joking with you about the PM's, LOL Hannah surprised me tonight though, I was very impressed with her video shoot for cover girl. I am choosing to be nice tonight...I liked all the makeovers. My favorites were Elina, Samantha, McKey & Marjorie

I still can't believe Brittany went! I thought she was so beautiful... OH well, Tyra always has an agenda.... I loooooved Elina's makeover.....But I have a question for anyone that has or ever had a weave..... ---It looks to me like they just pinned her natural hair really close to her scalp and sewed the new hair over that. So....does she wash and style the weave, or does it just come like that?? And when her natural hair grows will the weave start to sag, or is that when it gets re-done??? I'm just curious as I've never had extensions or a weave of any kind. I just wondered if someone out here new about them. Most of the makeovers were pretty subtle this year compared to cycles past, but I think everyone looks great! (Except for Hanna....sorry....I don't like that look at all and I don't think it flatters her!)

ITA about Hanna's makeover, but like I said, I was being nice last night, LOL. There is just something about the facial expressions she makes that scares me...those Psycho eyes did not help at all either, LOL. About the weave...You can wash and style the weave you just have to be careful while doing it, and not wash it too often. it will get looser as her hair grows out, but it would take a good amount of time before it is really noticeable...like a few months I am sure. I am not an expert on the ful weave, but I did use the funky colored tracks to make highlights in my hair back when I used to be a big party girl, LOL. And I know if you head itches you are supposed to pat your head instead of itching becuase scratching rips and tears your natural hair that is braided underneath. And 99% of the time, those little braides hurt like hell until they grow out some. from Wiki regarding "netting" weave

To care for your hair, wash it once a week and invest in a hooded hair dryer or heated cap for at-home maintenance. "You want to make sure your hair is completely dry so it will not mildew under the net."

Thanks for the info, Stacee!! Eeesh that seems like a lot of work lol, and not being able to scratch my head if I needed would drive me crazy!! And yes, I bet those little braids hurt like hell.....the things women go through for beauty...:spruce_up:

Yeah I agree, but the end results can be absolutely beautiful if done properly. I LOVE Elina's makeover...I want that hair, LOL. On another note was anyone else put off by Brittany's behavior towards Elina for saying that she has never loved her mother?? She didn't even know anything about what kind of woman her mother was before she started calling her names and ridiculing her. for all they know her mother could have been paying those bills by pimping out her kids, or selling crack and her house is a crack house, or even one of those women with absolutely no human emotion for children. I mean I can't imagine not loving your mother once you are over your teenage angst years but Elina is still only 19

Oh yeah, ITA. And I'm really glad she didn't freak out as much as I thought she would, she really pulled it together. That hair is just FUN and awesome looking. I think Marjorie looks cute too. Quite a nice difference even though all she did was go from blonde to brown....it looks much better on her. I think they made Sheena look really soft and pretty as well.

I agree with you Stacee. I think Brittany's behavior was antagonistic. She was very judgemental. I'm glad she's gone.

I agree. Although I did like Brittany, it was really immature for her to tell Elina she is "evil" and "psycho" for not loving her mother. She has no idea what Elina's situation was. Unfortunately, as we all know, sometimes even really beautiful people can have ugly attitudes...

Yeah they definitely called that right, Brittany was just a beautiful girl...she had no fire in her photos IMO. I really wanted her to do well because I really was taken by her natural beauty, but that can only get you so far.

I was totally put off by Brittany. Elina was opening up to her and Brittany was too ******** to see that. Idiot.

Careful who you call a retard around these parts.. some people dont take kindly to it! lol I'm kidding.

Sheena's makeover was ridiculous. She may be my favorite but dark blonde streaks does not work with her. Samantha totally shines now and her picture was gorgeous. So was Lauren Brie's. Elina looks amazing and so was that picture of hers. Brittany is such a rude person after what she said, I was glad to see her go. And Analeigh.....words can't describe how gorgeous she is. I hope she stays a bit longer.

Hmmm.... Is Clark (no e) gone yet?

Clark is note gone yet. I still stand by the fact that she won't be leaving anytime soon. I believe this episode has two eliminations also. To me that means Hannah and either Isis/Analeigh are leaving which I hope doesn't happen.

I know. I'm just going to ask about her every week.... BTW.. You're correct.. TWO girls leave tonight. ;)

Hahaha. i think the makeover is going to do wonders for her... even if it doesn't do wonders on my eyes.

Good cuts tonight. Both deserved to go. I really did like Hannah though...she was naive, but sweet

Oh, and that shit with Samantha....it really didn't seem like a big deal. It looked like, to me, that she WAS BLINDFOLDED and trying to put her hand on her hip or something.... i really didnt think it was that bad

It's a shame she went as well... I thought she would go farther then this... Isis was sent home do to her problems with her transgenderedness

I stilll don't get why Clark is still around. Please enlighten me someone. Am I missing something with her? She just does not seem to have "it".

That's right. It's for the drama factor.
