Puzzled by the judging panel

[chikubang]

I am just puzzled of the comments made during judging

my take is that its fixed and they have the winner picked out from the beginning

[pretencioso]

yup

[cmm1982]

This! Whole thing was rigged you could tell from when they got rid of gabrielle, things that go for some girls don't work for others it makes them look dull and lifeless.

[anna_drenxavier]

UGH definitely.

[dior_chic]

Just wondering, do you think it's been fixed for a couple seasons now?

[radiotrash]

I kinda think it's been fixed since Tootie.

[dior_chic]

Oh okay. I just asked because I've seen people say it's been fixed only recently, while I agree that it's been going on for a couple cycles now.

[karbear57]

It's been obvious since Whitney won. I never thought it was that "fixed" until then. Rewatching the bravo or oxygen marathons, I think it's been fixed most cycles... or at least the judging was partially fixed. My complaint is that the "best" picture is very subjective and Tyra has admitted to picking weaker pictures (like for Sandra c12)because they were different poses.

[ohsnapitscory]

this shit has been rigged since covergirl stepped in. eva's win/story arc was way too contrived.

[frozen_fierce]

Agreed! But sometimes things change... like season 4 where they probably had Tiffany picked out.

And my bet is that they had Tocarra picked out for season 3 but then her personality became non-existent.

This! I agree 100%! It's mooooostly fixed, but there's got to be some leeway. I mean, it's television.

And obviously some contestants are picked solely for La Drama.
