First Season

I did not like Elyse (I think that's her name. The med student). She was so negative about everything: the other girls, the clothes they would wear, the photo shoots, even herself! One thing that made me agree with her was when Robyn kept pushing the bible in her face. If she's n atheist, let her be. I'm not an atheist but you can't force your religion on anyone else and make them think their less than you. Elyse did belittle the other girls, saying she's smarter than they are.

Janice was a bitch. She hated that Robyn was a plus size model and 26 yrs old. She loved how skinny Elyse was. She praised her through it all. I love Kimora though.

I liked Kimora too. Too bad that she didn't continue. Janice seemed to have something against plus size models. Never cared for her and I am in the minority, but I don't like Jay Manuel. He was talking about Robin with Elyse and Adrianne
As a member of the staff, he shouldn't have done that and it was unprofessional.

Oh, and I was no fan of Elyse either. I never got why people thought that her rant was so great. She never said anything to anyone's face. The only thing that I will back her on is when the others talked about her being anorexic. That was very wrong of them. Also when she was trying to keep the final 4 together, but Robin was being rude about it. I understand about not wanting to go to graveyards, but she could have been more polite.

I think just cause of how mean it was and people with a mean-spirited sense of humour had a good chuckle.

True.

Elyse. I actually liked her and thought she had the most model potential of all of the contestants on that cycle. I believe she was very successful after the show, especially in Asian markets.

I never saw the whole cycle, but I liked Elyse. Hated Robin...she was awful and looked sooo old.

[–] MsMelbaToast 8 years ago

I agree. I have always suspected that Robyn lied about her age. No way was that woman in her 20s! Her judgmental/self righteous/holier-than-though attitude was off-putting, too. At least Shannon wasn't as preachy and annoying about her faith.

This is one of my favorite cycles.

I absolutely loved Elyse. Out of everyone, she was the girl who looked like an actual model. She ended up doing well for herself, modeling and doing runways in Europe. Loved her talking heads. Such intelligence and wit.

I hated Robyn. I agree with another poster, she was so self-righteous, annoying, and old-looking. I thought she looked 46 and not 26. She should have kept the Bible-thumping to herself. The only reason she stayed so long was because of the drama she brought.

It was BS that Shannon was in the Final 2. It should have been Elyse and Adrienne. I thought Giselle (sp?) was sent home too early as well.
