OMG, STOP TAKING ABOUT IT!

Well... I want to agree with you because I dislike Mikey, but... in the past, there were definitely WORSE things there. Like remember that crazy jewish nut who constantly talked about her mom and would wail and bawl her eyes out whenever they were on the phone together? "MAMA! MAMA!! I need your words of encouragement! f%Y^k me with your words! Just f%#46 me now!!! NOW! MAMA!" blegh. Yuck.

Or Hadassah talking about pageantry being the best thing ever each and every time she was interviewed.

And the list goes on... Mikey did mention it a few times but I wasn't sick of him talking about his struggle. I was just sick of his stupid face. Period.



WARNING: I'M SEXY!

I'm not really a Mikey fan... but idk, I would expect them to talk more about their motivations the closer and closer they get to the finishline especially since their moms were invited on the show twice. Makes sense. I know shows do the whole sob story thing to keep it interesting, and people either like it or hate it since things keep being repeated, but isn't it sorta sad that we get annoyed by serious issues? We're such an easily annoyed society.

Ummmm Jourdan's 'I was married at 18 and divorced at 18' was constant. It must be editing also, no?

I'm just surprised that no one (other than Chrissy Teigan lol) has pointed out that Hollywood, FL isn't anywhere near as hood as he's trying to make it out to be...

OP, I was in the exact same place with Mikey. Good grief. Sing a new song. I'm from NM which is much more impoverished than Florida, and I know dozens if not hundreds of poor families whose children have not turned to crime, who have graduated from college (not just high school), and who have become successful. For me, he just wasn't anything special. I got tired of hearing him whine.

I would definitely agree with how endlessly annoying that childhood upbringing story was, but I was more angry with the editors, not him. They could have easily edited out repetitive speech but they chose to keep it in. I also get the feeling that contestants don't just spill their guts or start talking about certain topics of their own accord, but rather, the producers ask them each time to talk about those things to draw out the drama they need. The models just do their job and respond to the questions.

For example, don't you think it's weird how every contestant has something negative to say about everybody, and chooses to say it out loud? Surely some of them were just asked how they felt about so-and-so by the producers, and answered accordingly. The editors then edited it to make it seem like the models decided to talk *beep* with no prompting whatsoever.
