Tyra Banks: Champion Of Poverty

America's Next Top Model provides many ridiculous laugh-out-loud moments, but this scene from last night's episode takes the cake.

    It's just a good glimpse into what kind of an empty shell of a person Tyra is. She has to make everything relate to her in some way. Even when she interviewed John Edwards, she talked about what issues were important to HER (as in the body image that young girls have of themselves…not exactly on the minutes of the recent G8 summit). She cannot talk to anyone unless it is all her and what she's done. I used to like her, but I can't stand her anymore.

    "I was homeless… for one day. Never mind the fact that I had cameras following me and knew that any time I got tired of it, I could hop in my Hummer and head over to the mall for some retail therapy and an Orange Julius. For those 24 hours (okay 3 hours) I really was homeless."

    Bless you, St. Tyra.

    Instead of homeless young women, she should have had them "portray" old homeless men. THAT would have been something.

    Also, I love how she pretty much blames her mom for ignoring homeless: "because that's how I was raised."

    I didn't even have to watch the clip to know exactly what it was. I laughed out loud when she said they should be "so proud of themselves" for being in this shoot. Puh-lease. I love me some Top Model but this was ridiculous. Ugh.

    The Tyra(nt) is so full of herself. What's next, have the girls pose as amputees to supposedly highlight the difficulties of being physically disabled? After a Very Special Episode of 'The Tyra Banks Show' in which she pretends to have no legs for a day? There are much more dignified (and less self-serving) ways to highlight important issues and make a difference. Now, getting down off my high horse, I admit I love this show.

    But, the important issue is…who's head is she going to shave next week? Who will have a bad, bleached out weave? When will Marvita finally bitch-slap Fatima? THAT's the important stuff.

    Oh I know, Tupelo. Their "truce" won't last. I can't wait until make-overs! Is it just me, or is it coming a few episodes early?

    No. 9 Tupelo says:

    Yes, Lisa, it is early. But I think it had to be. These girls are wrecked; I've never seen a group so in need of the makeovers.

    I think Marvita and Fatima should just duke it out in a Foxy Boxing match and get it over with- it's the perfect bill- Fatima, the Somalian Samurai vs. Marvita, the San Francisco Treat.

    Tyra is so full of herself, and her show is downright annoying. Everything is about how she is such a martyr for a cause! Puh-lease.

    No. 11 Lisa(#1), incarcerated says:

    Tupe: good point. Maybe they will just try to outpain eachother - FGM vs. molestation/homelessness. At first that is why I thought Marvita hated Fatima, because she was unused to having her story trumped. Then I realized it was because Fats is a bitch.

    Good call, these girls are ROUGH! I can't wait to see the crying count after next week's episode.

    Lisa: You and me both- it's going to be boss. There will be weaves and tears a'flyin! And I also think the winner of this fight should have to take on Dominique. Dayum, she looks like she'd cut a bitch. I howled when Paulina told her she looked like a tranny. Dominique makes me miss Jaslene…she was a kinder, gentler tranny.

    And Fatima is a bitch. Grade A, that one.

    I don't think Dominique would be so tranny if she lost the horrible tan, chilled out with the make up and did something with those brooke shields 1984 eyebrows.

    Did nobody else notice the banner ad beneath her advertising "Aliens in America"?!? Because that's what this big-headed b-atch is!

    Oh god, I love me some ANTM. But WTF is up with the new judge, Tyra scared Twiggy away already? I was devastated when Tyra cut Janice, and then Janice trumped Tyra with her model search. But I digress, the loss of Twiggy is a big one for Tyra and her show, it is only a matter of time until the Jays' pack up their shizz and bone out.
