I didn't see who spoke second, so I'm legitimately in the dark about who's going home this week.

I know very few ANTM contestants are really models, but Kiara and Brittany are just...not. Not even a little.

It's interesting that Victoria got a relatively high "challenge score" but didn't book any of the designers...something's fishy there.

She might have been the second choice for a few of them?

I'm the only one commenting, but I'll keep going. New observation: I hate this P'trique bullshit. Who is that, even?

You know, I believe every damn word Victoria says. When she does the talking head interview and assesses what's going on in the house, she's always bang on.

West Coaster here, appreciate your comments/spoilers, thanks!

1. I didn't give any spoilers in my comments.

2. I've been commenting here for years and there's never been a "no spoilers" rule about comments in the discussion post. If you don't want spoilers, then maybe you shouldn't read them.

You're welcome.

I'm so sick of the entire house being all "You have issues, you need to deal with them, you're not capable of being here" at Victoria and then doing the "ugh dis bitch" eyeroll when she calls them out in front of Tyra.

Like, have they forgotten there's cameras?

[chileconlimon]

I know, right? Who the hell are they to say whether she should be there or not? Do they live inside her head? Are they doctors? I hate that they acted like what they say dictates what the truth is, and that they know what her situation is. It's natural to be stressed out in a situation like that. She might just be getting over the worst of it, because that's what happens. When things are stressful and you miss your family, you eventually learn how to deal with it. It's just such a new thing to Victoria, so of course she's going to freak. That doesn't mean she shouldn't be there. Sending her back home would just be escalating the problem because she needs to face her fears and step out of her comfort zone, not be put back in it and run away from her problems! I don't understand the other girls' logic.

[butterbuns]

Right? And even if she does have an ED, which IDK if I buy because hi, when I'm stressed, and nervous and in a new situation I don't eat a lot either, dammit, I don't think bitching at her and telling her that ~clearly something's wrong~ is the way to go about it. And Kristin's stupid "Don't start shit with me" ....unless they didn't show something on camera, wasn't it all her in the first place?

[chileconlimon]

Yeah, Kristen acts like it's OK for her to start something, but when someone actually defends themselves, she takes it as "starting shit with her." What do they expect Victoria to do? "You're so right, Kristen. I guess I'll go home then."

That is so true. It's natural to lose your appetite if you're stressed; it doesn't mean you have an eating disorder! But then when Victoria just says she is not hungry because she's stressed, they're all, "You can't handle it here. You're too weak."

[butterbuns]

Byebye Brittany.

I hope. snoooooooore.

[musicnextdoor]

I don't even understand why she was cast.

[butterbuns]

She bores the hell out of me. Like, she opens her mouth and it's like dead air, haha.

[musicnextdoor]

ikr? She isn't funny or entertaining or a trainwreck or ugly-pretty or stunning. She's just a really boring, mildly pretty girl.
