I just watched the episode in cylce (who knows) where Tyra goes off on Tiffany for not crying when she left. WHAT A BITCH. It was hideous enough that I may stop watching the show. Okay, so I won't stop watching the show but, come on... That was seriously insane.

not to defend her actions but that wasn't the reason...

[justamy]

then what WAS the reason? Because Tyra said that she respected the other girl's tears but thought Tiffany was too happy and jokey about it. And when Tiffany tried to explain that she held emotions inside, that was when Tyra started screaming all scary-like.

don't feel like elaborating on this too much coz it's been discussed to death but:

basically tiffany had a slave mentality. her attitude had been very "i'm used to the hood. i don't fit in with this whole model thing blabla." like when they were at the restaurant or doing the acting challenge she brought up the whole thing about being used to the ghetto a lot.

what is a slave mentality?

[niwakun]

sorta like an inferiority complex/self-defeating attitude where you think you'll never get out so you don't bother trying.

that's the easiest way i can explain it.

u forgot the part where tyra turned into a mutated iguana and ate the girl and ran wild on the streets of los angeles through a television screen in the city of quahog!

hehehehahahahhehehehehhahahahhehehhahahhhehahah yes.

I am not sure I would call it a slave mentality...not too fond of that reference, but, I do see the attitude issue you're talking about. However, Tyra's a big fan of bringin out the sad stories. She baits girls into talking about how hard their life is. She might have created that attitude in Tiffany a wee bit, don't you think?

[niwakun]

not to say that tyra wasn't in the wrong for yelling but it is pretty easy to get frustrated when you want to help someone who won't help themselves first.

[justamy]

But...Tiffany tried out for God's very own show! Not once, but twice! Is she not helping herself because she didn't also attend St. Tyra's camp for wayward girls, too?

[niwakun]

actually, if i remember correctly, im almost positive that tyra had asked tiffany to come back the second time. and i guess that's part of why she was disappointed because she felt she believed in her for nothing. hence the whole "I WAS ROUTING FOR YOU WE WERE ALL ROUTING FOR YOU" bit.

[justamy]

Eh, I still think Tyra's a bitch. :)

actually, as far as I can see, she got the winner edit. But then she didn't try her best.
