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?

IMO, Tyra didn't bitch at her solely because Tiffany didn't cry/get upset when she was eliminated. Throughout the entire judging panel and the challenge they were given she seemed like she couldn't care less about the whole thing. She didn't hardly attempt to do the challenge, remember? It was a thing where they had to read off a prompter and Janice and the other judges had to push her to even do it. Then after that, as she was leaving the room, she muttered "this gets more and more humiliating each week" (or something to that degree, I forget the exact wording) - she basically just gave up and didn't care about the competition, which is why Tyra yelled at her, I think.

But Tiffany tried to explain to Tyra that her apathy WAS her way of showing emotion...some people are like that...not everyone cries. And Tyra screamed at her to shut up during her explanation.

[justamy]

Yeah, it was pretty creepy. And she didn't even start screaming until Tiffany tried to explain herself...she wouldn't even let her finish. To me, THAT'S disresepctful.

It was season four. That is my favorite season which Kahlen TOTALLY should've won.

It Tyra's defense (WUT?), Tiffany was being pretty disrespectful.

[justamy]

I didn't see disrespect on anyone's part but Tyra's. Tiffany was being kind to her friends...my friends often console me when I am crying. I guess I just don't see why it's disrespectful not to cry or to feel humiliated.

I thought it was disrespectful when Tiffany said

"This gets more humiliating week by week."

Tyra is trying to give this girl a chance, and she laughs off the challenges - and when she can't do something, she shuts down. Not only did she shut down, but she made it a point to say that she felt more humiliated at panel week by week.

Although I'd be pretty humiliated too if I were as illiterate as Tiffany was. Who doesn't know the word "magenta" when they see it?

From what I remember... a lot of the girls didn't pronounce it correctly lol.
