In Y’all Tall Bitches’ Face

America's Next Top Model

By admin | Thursday, December 16, 2004 | 1:19 am | 70 Comments

final_threeI have to admit, I had to get convinced that America’s Next Top Model was going to be enjoyable television. Although nobody needs to give me an excuse to see a whole lotta Tyra Banks, I kind of brushed aside the show. I sat through a couple of scenes and realized I could do a lot worse than watching a lot of hot women do their thing. We started with fourteen then eliminated our way down to three just ladies left in the final episode. Amanda has gorgeous eyes, which are ironically failing her, and a great camera presence, but doesn’t necessarily wow you in person. Eva is the girl with the attitude, a little short, a whole lot of spunk, but sometimes “doesn’t deliver the big performance”. Yaya is the afro-centric Ivy Leaguer, and perhaps best looking of the final three, but often makes us want to slap some humility upside her head. My only complaint is that we only had sixty minutes worth of finale to crown this year’s winner.I know that people are going to be missing B-side’s usually outstanding recap of this show, but he is saving his energy for what is sure to be an amazing finally of The Apprentice. I told him snorting a little coke or some ritalin would get him through this tough time, but not being an aspiring agent, he likes to keep himself drug-free.

Last week, Anne was eliminated, and there was really no controversy about it. She has taken some of the worst pictures, and although she was tall and beautiful (Can you believe she made it farther than Norelle?), she just didn’t seem like a good fit to be among the winners. There was a bit of controversy when she completely ignored her seemingly best friend Eva after her eviction. The strain in their relationship has been tough on our little diva, and you could tell she was really upset with what happened.

Not to worry though, because with people like Yaya and Amanda around, you know that they will do anything in their power to make her feel more comfortable and part of the group. She’s vulnerable and just needs a friend. Uhhh, no. I think Yaya secretly enjoyed seeing Eva so shaken up, and my suspicions were confirmed when Yaya said “If there was anything Amanda or I could do to make Eva feel more included or comfortable, I don’t think that we would”. Yaya so smart and yet so compassionate. I guess when she was lecturing other people about “respeito” (respect) and wearing it on her T-shirt, it was kind of a suggestion and not a hard and fast rule. OK Yaya, you are smart, black, and beautiful do you have to stick the dagger in and twist it too?

A big deal was made about the last panel, because the judges said that they didn’t see anybody who had what it takes to win. I think Nolé was just a little crabby because his dog got shipped to Korea instead of Japan, which means it is likely in somebody’s galbee right as we speak. Hey, I don’t care what they put in the Korean barbecue, I still eat it. The photo shoot before the first elimination of the night was going to be a Cover Girl spread, and the photos taken for that shoot would be used as part of the $100,000 contract that the winner received at the end of the competition.

Amanda went first, and she has been trying to let her personality go. Frankly, I don’t really see what the problem is, she’s always smiling and funny in her interviews, she just sort of tanks out in front of the judges. I blame her lack of personality on hanging around with Yaya too much. She’s the type of girl that decides to throw a party, but instead of enjoying watching people get drunk, she invites them to carve pumpkins or sing carols or go ice skating. But more importantly than that, she tries to make everybody around her feel stupid, so that tends to clam people up around her that may feel intimidated. To get some of her life back, Amanda utilized her inner joy, which somehow translated into thinking of rabbits in France. Hey, you gotta do what comes naturally.

Eva came next, and she has picked up a little bit of her attitude that had kind of waned since Anne had been so pissy about their competition. She wanted to be fierce, but Amanda watched and commented that she just didn’t see any energy. Energy is never a problem with Yaya. Yaya does so well because she can always find a mental thing to connect with. We are once again reminded that Yaya recites poetry and has a great education. SHUT UP ALREADY. Where does she live that anybody can stand to hear her talk about the ivy league all of the time? Did you ever notice that the people who like to tell everybody how smart they are really kind of suck and sound stupid because they have nothing to talk about except themselves?

Jay was quite impressed with everybody that day, but even I could tell that these three wouldn’t have a very hard time. It was all a glamour shoot. The remaining girls are all beautiful and all know what to do for the camera in that kind of pose. The other activity was a go-see with Noriko Fukushima, a ready-to-wear designer very popular in Japan. They kind of rushed through this segment because they had two eliminations, and we only got to see each model in one outfit, but Yaya stole the show with a dress that gave sort of a peek-a-boo look at her ass. I was surprised Yaya even put it on, because she said that it would have looked kind of hoochie back home. That’s what we like, the approachable Yaya. You’ve come a long way baby.

When it came time for the first panel, it was a very difficult choice. Honestly, all of the girls looked gorgeous in their pictures. The designer Noriko said that Amanda’s skin, eyes, and hair are all something that people would admire in Japan. Just a few week’s ago, Nigel used that comment as a negative against Norelle, but didn’t really say much about it this time. They praised Yaya because she didn’t even need a retouch to make her skin look great. Hey, it’s a start. For Eva, they noted that her skin looked like honey, and that her smile came from within, which is much better than Janice can do, since her smile comes from a face lift and botox.

For the first elimination, I was sure of two things. 1) Amanda would go on to the next round and 2) Janice would pop a boob. Seriously, can’t they find a better washed-up supermodel to do this kind of thing? I heard Carol Alt and Cheryl Tiegs are looking for work. Number two may still come to pass, but number one definitely did not happen. Although Yaya has done so well, I honestly thought she had the least impressive of the Cover Girl spreads(more of a case of Amanda’s and Eva’s blowing me away actually), and yet her name was called first. Tyra said between Eva and Amanda, we have two incomplete packages, and each has what the other needs. Hmm, Amanda wants eyesight and Eva wants a baby? No. Let me see, Amanda wants to be able to tan, and Eva wants to be older. No. Oh that’s right, Amanda has high fashion, but Eva has the presence right in front of you. Of the two, the judges chose Eva, and Amanda was gone. It was sad to see Amanda go, because I thought she was the favorite coming in, and I hope she can find a contract before she can’t see anymore.

Amanda’s departure made things fairly awkward at the model dojo, since only Eva and Yaya were left. They are on such completely opposite ends of the personality spectrum, but they decided that they could deal with each other for at least another couple of days. I found it funny to hear Eva talk about the sweet person that Yaya had underneath. I guess sweet and arrogant bitch are synonyms in the Eva Diva Abridged Dictionary. Yaya also saw something that she never saw in Eva before, and wondered why it took them so long to build a relationship. Well, it could be that you didn’t have an open mind about her in the first place Yaya. It wasn’t long since she said that she didn’t care if Eva felt alone. Sometimes when you are friendly you can, you know, make friends.

With only Yaya and Eva left, we are assured of seeing our very first non-white America’s Next Top Model, although I do disagree with some people who think it was some sort of conspiracy to have this sort of outcome. The only way a fix would have been on would have been if Kristi had made it any farther than she had did. In their final one on one talk with Tyra, both started to get a little bit teary eyed about the subject. Tyra told Eva it wasn’t about race, but that she did see a “very troubled girl, not perfection, but proving herself”. After Tyra’s words of wisdom, that’s usually the end of things, but Eva went on about wanting a place to sleep, somebody to love, and somebody to hold(if she wants to shack up in West Hollywood, I know a good place). It was very poignant, but became a little less so as Tyra started to nod off a little bit at the end. I guess the producers forgot the cue card that said “STAY AWAKE!”.

The final competition was going to be a runway show for Noriko Fukushima. This was a big deal because the show wasn’t set up for them, meaning there would be a ton of pressure, and everybody was sure to have butterflies. I wondered if the judges knew about the runway show and voted Amanda out knowing that it could have been a big problem for her. Yaya has no problem with butterflies because she always has something mental to connect with. She connects walking down the runway with (SURPRISE!) walking across the stage to pick up her diploma. Shit Yaya, please find something else to talk about. I am sure you can get people to stare at your boobs and be silent for a little while, but soon all the talk about your education gets a little bit old. Refocus, re-center, recite poetry. FINE.

Our Diva Eva has always loved the runway, because she can work it, HARD CORE. Except this was to be a traditional Japanese style show, which meant the motions were very relaxed, and instead of walking back and forth along a straight runway, they would have to walk around a runway shaped like a box. It would require four, count them FOUR, left handed turns. The pressure was really on, even Tyra felt nervous. The judges sat in the front row by the runway, which was tough enough, but Janice decided that she had to shout things whenever either of the girls walked by, like “Nice ass!” Janice is annoying, but I am sure that if I was to go to any party with an open bar, she would be the most entertaining to talk to, mainly because I am sure that she would show me her boobs for an olive from my martini. Although maybe the combination of alcohol and Janice’s boobs could make me sick.

Both of our fine young women did well on the runway, and were even able to to avert a near disaster, ie collision, as Yaya was finishing her last run, and Eva was just about to start hers. Luckily, Yaya remembered that the person entering the runway has precedence, so she did an amazing thing to prevent any problems. She slowed down her walk. Phew! That took some real thinking on the fly, thank god that English degree from Brown is being put to good use! After mastering the very difficult “Yield” section of modeling 101, she can surely move on to upper level courses like “Complete stop” and “U-turn”.

yaya_japan_runwayeva_japan_runway

Once again, the competition was very close. The main critique of Yaya was that she was a little too much heel-toe, which I guess is not good for the runway. For Eva, they noticed that she sort of did a neck bobbing gesture when she walked sometimes. Janice said she looked like an egret, which was a surprisingly accurate, fair, and non-intoxicated observation on her part. I think it was Janice’s new Elvira look that put her into such a state.

During the final elimination, we got to see a selection from some of the previous photos from each girl. Yaya has progressed from a “zombie look” to that of a true model, and Eva has gone from doing the Paris Hilton patented hand-on-hip-ass-out pose to ones that were much more natural. They also mentioned that Yaya had finally knocked that chip off of her shoulder. Well, I guess if they say so, but I haven’t seen it yet. It was a very difficult deliberation. Nolé (who will be played by Luiz Guzman if there is ever a movie adaptation of ANTM), Nigel and Janice each had good and bad to say about both Eva and Yaya.

I truly had no clue what was going to happen, but I believed that Yaya was too polished not to win. I was shocked, shocked I say (and relieved) when they announced Eva was the winner. She immediately did her best Halle Berry winning the Oscar impersonation with the crying and the clutching and then more crying. Yaya was her charming self in defeat. I was expecting her to say something like “My non-skill really enabled another person to win, and I am fine with that” but instead she chopped in with “they wanted somebody bubble, and they found it”. It’s so hard to be smart, educated, and black, it’s a good thing we don’t ask Yaya to try and pretend she is fun to be around.

I have to hand it to America’s Next Top Model, they picked a girl who was black, the shortest of all the contestants, and has the smallest boobs. (One out of three is fine for me!) We look forward to seeing Eva in her new Cover Girl ads and/or commercials and whatever her Ford Models contract leaves her. From buck-toothed and pudgy, you have become fit and fabulous. We salute you.

    CONGRATULATIONS MISS DIVA EVA!!!!! I can’t wait to see more of her, in magazine ads and on television or the big screen. Her personality shines a light on everything and everybody, which is why I personally felt Yaya was intimidated by her. It is the trump card that Yaya couldn’t compete with.

    umm, hi? doesnt anyone else aside from me think that amanda is sorta busted up? i mean she looks stunning when she is done up, but in person, she has stringy, wiry hair, and her skin looks bleak. in the shoots though, she realy does have it.

    eva sucks ass. its a shame she won, i think amanda should have–OBV not yaya.

    …if i had to hear one more time about how everyone comes up to her to tell her how respectful she is in other countries, so help me. i mean if you go to a foreign country and you are respectful of their customs, the people dont THANK you, they expect that OF YOU. idiot. go back to brown yaya and take another pass/fail class.

    I am happy that Eva won and would have been just as happy if one of the other girls had won. Why do some of us have to be so petty and talk so nasty about some of the other girls. Any of those girls could have been the top model. Has anyone forgotten that everyone has their own distinct personality and that’s what being different is all about.

    All of us have to remember that the Top Model wins a Cover Girl contract. CG wants someone who can be an approachable role model to young girls. Yaya is not someone who can be a role model-teen girls cannot learn to walk around like they are above everyone else.

    Honestly, I think any of the people who went to Japan could have won. As it got down to the end, the judges focused more and more on not only what a top model looked like at a shoot or on the runway, but how she carried herself in person, since everybody but Ann had taken many great pictures.

    Sure Eva is immature, but she is also the youngest. As Nolé said “This is the girl every girl in America wants to know and wants to be”.

    I think that the best person won, not only do you have to win competions in this industry you have to be able to relate to the every day man, and EVA the DIVA can do just that. As for her being a boy far from it. Yaya was much too arogant and the judges just let her know that it was not appreciated.

    I was a little surprised Eva beat YaYa, but so what. She was certainly a worthy contender. That show makes a lot of noise and Tyra makes up these ridiculous checklists that most people who break into modelling don’t actually have to adhere to. What Amanda looks like in person is an issue for go-see’s and interviews, but hair and makeup are part and parcel of the job. They are people to make her look however the client wants. As Cindy Crawford said,”I don’t wake up looking like ‘Cindy Crawford.”

    Modelling is a huge field anyway. Some people (Christie Brinkley) never do runway, only print. Some people only do catalogs (and there’s a whole subdivision there). Some people only do runway – those not attractive enough for print. Some do “parts” – hands, feet, butts, torsoes.

    An actual cosmetics contract would be paydirt, because that would make an established model a multi-millionaire. For about 30 days’s work a year. One Cover Girl ad is nice, but if Eva landed a multi-year Cover Girl contract, she’d be on easy street. Actresses keep getting them which is aggravating to models who are bucking for them.

    “just because of her afroscentric ways and she’s stuck-up it seems like…”

    Everybody’s has a style and an ethnicity. All YaYa needs to remember is that at work you wear what they tell you to. Losing out on a job or two would wake her up quickly. It ain’t the same as wearing cornrows to the office. A model’s job is to look like whoever the client wants you to.

    So what she’s stuck up? Lots of people are stuck up. Modelling is not a congeniality contest. No one’s paying her to have a nice personality. Some of the most famous models are notorious for bad behavior (Naomi Campbell). Better she go into such a harsh business over confident than under. Living in NYC I see teenage models all the time. Tall, gorgeous, wearing clothes that look like they’re from the future, with their heads down trying not to be noticed by all the staring people.

    YaYa will get over herself the same way Eva did, by being ostracized.

    I’m still dissapointed the fat one got the boot. I couldn’t believe after what a biatch Yaya was throughout the show she would even make it to the final two. However, I don’t think Eva is that great either. Overall, I wasn’t impressed with the majority of the girls this year. I’m bored of this show.

    I’m very glad Eva won, even though I did predict Amanda to win. So yes, obviously, I thought Amanda and Eva should have been the final two, but they were all good models. I thought that Amanda did the best for the Covergirl shoot. I just hope all the girls find all the work they want in modeling or in whatever they want in do in life.

    I liked all the contestants, however I knew from the start that Eva was going to win. I just know these things. Despite her fear of spiders, I was very proud that she pulled through and actually won that week. She’s beautiful and she knows it. Yes, Yaya won a lot during the show but she seriously lacks personality and likes to show off her diploma (if she really graduated). Amada is devious and it was a shame that she blamed Eva for her missing items, then to find out her items were not missing at all (hated the way she tried to set up Eva).

    From the time Tyra and the other contestants spoke with Eva about her faults, Eva, who appreicated those comments, has done a 360 degree turnaround. You know why? Because she became humble and focused on her goal, which is winning. You go Eva, you seriously have some fans in the Poconos.

    Good luck to you in whatever you do, continue to shine and since you no longer have to compete in another show like this, show your new true natural personality because it’s going to get you very far in life. Now you keep that up, and you’ll be loved for a very long time.

And for YAYA yes she is a cute girl but it is obvious that she had nothing on EVA DIVA, YaYa knew it that is why she kept her distance from EVA. YaYa knew that Eva was her competition, YaYa won nearly all the competions and you notice that she never chose Eva to join her it was always someone that did not look as good as YaYa.

    I am happy for EVA. She is a beautiful girl who handled her business, but come on now! Do you honestly think that Eva evolved from being catty and devious in a span of 2 months? I don’t think so! She is the same girl who criticized a girl for being too think in episode one, let’s not forget how she called her fellow loft mates (who she barely knew) in episode two tall bitches, she also talked Ann into touching and writing in Cassie’s brownies and lied about having any knowledge of it. She also wished her friend Norelle did bad in order to secure her spot after her awful performance in the Campbell’s soup commercial in Japan. Eva’s been Eva for 19 years, do you really think that she had a change of heart and now wants to “do the right thing”? What she did was found out what the judges wanted and carried it out. I don’t think that she’s this awful person, but she’s no angel either. Neither is YaYa or Norelle or Ann or whomever. She just listened to the judges and did what was needed to be the winner. For that, I applaud her! It takes a while to change who we are, but we could conform and bend in order to get the job done. She was smart enough to check the attitude early enough and focus more on what was required of her in the competition. She played the game and played it well. YaYa couldn’t pull it off because she was set on not conforming. Yes, she was the better model, but she refused to deliver what was needed and required in the personality department. That does not make her a B_tch, but it did cause her to lose. Both girls seem to be dealing with insecurity issues (as most of us do). I do not think that YaYa was jealous of Eva. If you can remember YaYa was a loner. She seemingly did not have a connection with Eva or Ann since the whole brownie incident. YaYa apparently associates her self-worth with personal acheivements. She and Eva seem to act out based on their insecurities. I love both girls and hope that through maturity and life experiences that they, as well as most young women will evolve into secure beautiful women. Please stop the name calling and judging. We all have our own issues.

    You know I watched this show from start to finish and “issues” or not YaYas’ attitude was for lack of better words…just stank! A lot of the girls did things on the show that were uncalled for, but she went out of her way to be snide. Self-respect and pride are one thing but if you have to try and bolster yourself by being cruel to others then something’s wrong. And could she be anymore impressed with herself? Yeah she was very nice to look at but personality has to count for something. Personally I am glad Eva won simply because so many of the girls, especially towards the end didn’t want her to. They knew she had the looks for the job and her photos were always excellent…and for this they HATED.

    Paul I,as you, watched the show from start to finish. YaYa, I admit, was arrogant, but do you think that it is a coincidence that Cassie, Amanda,Jennipher, YaYa, Ann and the girl eliminated in episode one all had problems with Eva! Come on the girl is catty and devious. She handled the judges well, but did not do the same with the girls in the house. As for Eva being pretty, no one doubts that. On the other hand, Cassie, Jennipher and YaYa as just as beautiful. Did anyone have issues with them doing and saying deliberate things to hurt or damage a person’s character. YaYa, Ann, Amanda, Jennipher and Cassie attacked Eva after being a victim of Eva’s devious actions. Since you “saw the episode from start to finish” did you see the edited clips of Eva attacking YaYa that was aired in a commercial. Face it Eva is not totally innocent! Yes YaYa’s attitude needs adjusting, but did she betray a friend, attack a girl verbally for being thin, call women she doesn’t know b_tches or spear-head an attempt to destroy and play in people’s food. That is why people turned on Eva. YaYa had her issues, but so did Eva. I am happy for her and she did take great pictures and she is beautiful, but sweet and innocent she isn’t. Again I don’t think she’s awful, but she did have potential of being the Camille (from Cycle 2) of the house. It’s even possible that she did even more things to her house mates that we did not see due to editing. After reading the girl’s transcripts each week, they all said that YaYa was not bad or mean or awful. Some even said that she was nice, while others said that she was just merely a loner. Some of the girls did, however, not have nice things to say about Eva. YaYa, again, is snooty and needs to focus on who she is as a person and not try to define YaYa with education and intellect. YaYa’s attitude hurt YaYa in this competition, whereas, Eva’s actions hurt other people. Yes we did see a more humble Eva towards the end, but that was only after she had been alienated by the other girls and challenged on her behavior and defamatory words toward the other girls. YaYa is no angel and neither is Eva. She is beautiful and she is a true Diva and she does have style and she is the winner,but she was not this innocent little victim who everyone was jealous of and was picked on because of her beauty.The show also showed that Amanda and YaYa did just as well or even better, at times, than Eva in competitions and photos. Eva, however, did have the personality that the judge were looking for and the combination of all of this along with her photos resulted in her win. Being personable does not exempt an individual from being catty and devious. Some of the most sleazy people have great personalities, while some very nice and genuine people don’t have much of a personality at all. Eva had a good balance of personality, beuaty and talent. That still does not say that personality,sass and spunk is synonmous with being a nice genuine person. Remeber I saw all of the episodes too.

    To all the people upset about Eva winning-

    just think, now Yaya has time to go and be a writer – since she said she wanted people to know that about her. Hopefully it will be an autobiograpgy since I personally would love to hear more about how great Yaya is.

    And Amanda can go and spend some time with her son that she is always saying she misses so much.

    everyone wins! yaaaaay

    Eva Eva Eva Eva congradulations miss lady. Im so happy that you were the one to win. My children and I watched the show faithfully and we all were praying that you would win. We love your style, your personality, and beauty. My girls think your the most beautiful girl in the world and talks about how they too could be a model. I tell my girls that they are pretty but you winning has inspired them to the fullest. They now know that with faith, hard work, and believing in their selves they can become anything that they put their hearts into. We jumped, hollered and prayed to god when we saw that you had won. We are so proud of you. God bless. Best Wishes to your career. Eva! Eva! Eva!
    Sincerely,
    The Turner Family

    I think the rite person won, i couldnt stand Yaya and Amanda looks like a ghost in the face.Eva looks good with and without makeup and when she go to sleep and wake up.Models needs to be ready to take pics at all times.She have the attitude, face and body so people need to stop hating on her. That girl is beautiful the people who are hating must be ugly themselves if they dont know what beauty is.

    I think the judging was fair and that Eva Diva was by far the most improved and the most personable model. She will have a bright future because her attitude will prevent hher from being entrapped by phony folk. I love her cover girl shot and can’t wait to see her spread in Elle and other magazines. Be on the lookout for Eva world, she’s coming straight at you!!

    Congrats. to Eva I had her picked from day one if any of you would look at her and look at yaya you would see that she has that look of cover girl yaya has a southern kind of look to her that says old fashion I would not want to look like her besides that I felt that she shoudl have been gone long before the pick if you would look back over the show she did a lot of thing that a real model would not have done she was late, she would not eat her product then she spit it out in front of the people and she disrespected the hat saying it was fake I think she made it futher than she should have Eva was the best choice for the next top model because of her spunk she truly has the diva attitude so all you hatters out there need to stop dont be a hatter be a congradulator she won hands down besides she won because it was in gods plan for her

    Much Congrats to Eva! You go girl. Eva was treated badlly by the other girls, who knew that she has what it takes. Amanda caused confusion and accussed Eva of stealing in one of the episodes. Then YaYa make the remark that her nor Amanda was going to try and make her feel better in the last episode. This is what YaYa and Amanda get for being the real bitches with attitude. Eva the Diva won, get over it. She has a down to earth and winning personality. Eva will go far and you all know it.

NOT BECAUSE THEY BLACK, BUT OUT OF ALL THE GIRLS, THEY HAD THE BEST PHOTOS, AND WERE THE MOST CONFIDENCE + THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS REALLY SUPRISED WHEN EVA WON BUT I NEARLLY WAS CRYING WITH TEARS. SORRY YAYA – WE STILL LOVE U! AND MISS JANICE DICKINSON WAS A HATER OF TOCARRA, AT LEAST SHE LOOK GOOD AND SHE ALL NATURAL. BUT LIKE I SAID, SOME OF YA’ SHOULDN’T BE HATING ON EVA, SHE GOT IT AND KNOW HOW TO WORK IT. SHE SURELY IS A ” DIVA”! I LOVE EVA AND HOPES SHE LAUNCHES FAR IN THE MDELING CAREER.

    Congratulations to Eva for winning ANTM and to Tyra for landing a new TV show. I really enjoy watching ANTM which give young ladies the opportunity to follow their dreams. Each of the finalist had there own personality. This personality is based on past experiences, present goals, and future desires. I do believed Eva deserved to win. Overall, she she is the one who took what she learned personally and for the model industry and started using it. The other girls appeared to be stay the way they were or break down. I was impressed with Eva when all the girls gained up on her, and she still maintained her cool. In any industry, you have to learn how to deal with different situations in a professional manner. Eva may be seen to some as being a Tom-boy, but she has lady capiblities. Congrats to all the ladies for making to even appear on ANTM and keep your head up. To you, EVA, keep on pressing your way. You’re beautiful, charming, and knows how to work the Runway. I felt that you would win, because they interviewed you the most. A model has to know how to speak, and in your interviews, you had positive things to say. Don’t worry about the negative things people say about you, it doesn’t change the fact that YOU< EVA are ANTM. I look foward to seeing you again. God bless you.

    Eva, You go Girl!!!

    I knew you had what it took all the time. That’s why Ann hated you so much. Because she could not get her act together. And the same for YaYa. That’s what people do when they’re insecure they hate on one another. Through all the criticism EVA prevailed because she took it all in and and kept her eye on the prize. She said it from day one this is a competition and she was there to win. YaYa and Ann can learn from her because Eva is like her brother the brother the Marine she conformed and made adjustments. They were not about change YaYa said it all the time that she was not concerned with criticizm she was not about change and that’s why she is not ANTM. That’s the difference in Ivy League education and lessons of life. Better learn a little humility YaYa.
