but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Just to make you feel better I don't like you that much either. Some of your posts in the forum and shots have not been to my taste at all.

I personally have nothing against you, we really havn't talked but I'm sure your a nice person. But even if we were best friends, my opinion would remain unchanged. As I'm sure yours would remain unchanged on my shots. You don't like my action shots I dont like your static shots, that's life. We all have different opinions.

Quote:

On the other hand we have Perynne, she has been up for elimination numerous times for poor shots. Your poses were so static and bland. However you have been improving greatly. Your last few shoots were fantastic, and this one is probably your best yet.

That is a quote from last assignment from me.

I think I'm one of the few who actualy recognizes you have been improving, Your last shot deserved model of the week. It was fierce and excellent. It's just I felt you got a free pass to the top 3 on one shot. No doubt you deserved model of the week, but I just forsaw a different top 3. Again it's like me and mortissia's model shoot, opinions collide and I get frustrated.

I've edited this post quite a lot because I was getting angry at nothing when I first read your reply. I don't want you to think that I hate you, or that you are undeserving of being in this competition or the top 3 because really anyone in the top 6 could have gone to the top 3 and we were all deserving. Unlike my interview I had a chance to take back what I've said in the heat of the moment. I hope we can agree to disagree on the shots we like and don't like.

o_O. D R A M A!!!!

I'm debating on if I should state my opinions on this matter or not...

Jaden Stone · Feb 20, 2007, 11:09 PM // 23:09

I think you should give your opinions. By the last assignment writeup I'm sure it will be a little anti jaden, but I do think it's good to get things out there.

If I'm going to be eliminated, I've got a good feeling it will be because of what I say here today in the forums. I know I'm not helping.

..............i dnt know what to say now..Everything seems tense..
I dont like it

dansamy · Feb 20, 2007, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I do think that while Perynne has improved during the competition that her last shot earning a free bye into the top 3 was a little bit too much. It is a great shot, no doubt. However, I think that all the remaining contestants' entire portfolios should have been considered when selecting the final three. I am not running the competition though, and since I don't watch ANTM, I don't know how it's done there either. (That doesn't mean I think Pernne shouldn't be in the top three. It means I think that each model's entire body of work should have been assessed for entry into the top 3, rather than granting one single great shot a free pass, regardless of who produced that single great shot.)

ha this is like real reality shows. =P

xxSilhouette · Feb 20, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

Well no its not anti-jaden or anti anyone else really. Just what I personally feel about both you and perynne.

Alright, looking at Perynne - I agree with you on the fact that her poses were often to stiff. Looking at week 3 and week 5 next to each other it is the exact same thing, maybe caught one moment difference. and she never really seemed to play with emotes, until she got together with Burnout, and frankly I don't see it as a good thing. I remember the very first week I loved the pose she used along with the background and everything, but then week 2 she didn't even pose which I didn't view as a good thing either.

But on the flip side Jaden, I have noticed you used dance quite often, especially after week 4 when you got MOTW (which that was amazing and you totally deserved it btw) But on the plus side, You played around with it and tried to capture a different moment/angle ext.

The point I am making is really that I think both you and Perynne used the same type of thing throughout the whole competition. You used dance a lot, and Perynne stayed with that stiff look up until the end. But I think you did a better job of it, because even though it was the same emote, it looked like a different pose.

Regardless of my opinion or anyone else's, there is something you both have, along with Burnout Chic, that everyone else was missing. And you all should be proud of yourselves for making it so far.

mrmango · Feb 20, 2007, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Well I really don't have an opinion on this, I just know I love how my "obvious" favorite is doing. Keep up the good work all 3 of you.

Jaden Stone · Feb 21, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

I apologize perynne for what I posted earlier. I've edited that post. It seemed I was being mean for the sake of just being mean and I did not want to come across like that. I was angry at your comment about not liking me or my shots and now I know how you feel about my interview. I regreted what I said in the interview, but unlike the forums I couldn't take it back.

It's just to me this is both a competition and a show. I picked my favorites and wanted to see them succeed and when they didn't quite make it I was upset

Don't get me wrong here, my opinions have not changed, and niether should yours, but I think we brought this whole thing down to a level where we should not be. And I, as always, went over the top. So again I apologize.

English is a very difficult language to learn later in life. For every "rule" we have 10 exceptions. Cheer up, Burnout! They were great shots.

Well Said.

But we must know bias does come into play. Admittedly, with all the "edits" LadyNilene claims, Perynne was giving a "ugly duckling" to TOP MODEL edit, and is shown as the most improved model. Following the patterns on the show, it was only natural how she would make it -easily- to the top three. Looking at her entire portfolio once again. I must say I am impressed with Perynne's ability to look statuesque... but to look statuesque in all shots is the same thing as looking super-aerobic in every shot... still not good.

Looking at Jaden's portfolio, its been strong from the beginning, and her obvious learning curve was there. Her reasoning behind her signature pose was also very true... its not up to the judges and community to decide Jaden's signature pose. Any of the models that succumbed to what the judges wanted lost a little respect from me.

There is nothing else that can look like dance. Even for my ritualist, 90% of the dynamic BEAUTIFUL poses were from dance. Heck, I even USED another emote to LOOK like DANCE for my last assignment... and the judges didnt get it (the community and competitors did, however) and it still didnt work as well. Using the same emote is like saying in real life that you "SMILE TOO MUCH IN PICTURES." You can smile 1000000000 different ways, but hell you're still smiling?! Is that wrong? I dont think so. Saying that one emote is used too much I consider a non-legit reason... if the shot is based on the pose, then its based on the pose. If one emote just has the best poses, of course you're choosing the best.

Teehehe, I just cant stop hearing that, I always feel warm and fuzzy. I actually feel better to have left on such a high note... better not disappoint, right ^.^?

Jaden Stone, closely resembles someone, ne?

Btw I'm just kidding.

LOL, youre terrible!! Jade has the worst literature skills I've seen from a self-proclaimed poet EVER.

“Leftover lady, let alone the strongest to be subdued, if I only had the magic key that would unlock the realms to the plateau of the highest me, even though I’ve been badly bruised, living in a house to become a popular muse.”

notice how this can just totally mean:

I'm the best, leftover from other's restraints. If only I did better (IN ANTM, LAWL!!111!!) Even though I only came 3rd, I'll continue modelling.

ZOMGOD, Jaden is ten times better than Jade, seriously. At least his english is >.> lol

And this is why i wasn't sure if i should state my opinion...

I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with using /dance!!!! All I was saying is that Jaden did use dance often, But he played around with it, which was a good thing. It is fine to use the same emote if you play with the angles and the time that you capture the moment.

That was what confused me, sorry. I understand what you mean that its a GOOD thing, but your previous post made it seem like you were placing both of them on a similar level. My bad ^.^

Looking at the new shots, it just reinforces that Jaden and Burnout are obviously much better screenshot takers (lol!). But it seems Perynne is the memorable model with the approachability. Its only a matter now if the judges consider TNTM an actual competition based on abilities or personalities. Both would be awesome, of course.

Jaden Stone · Feb 21, 2007, 04:59 AM // 04:59

I'm pretty much my own worst enemy at the moment, thats all I will share

xxSilhouette · Feb 21, 2007, 05:02 AM // 05:02

No, not on a similar level, I was just saying they each had one thing they did often in the competition. Jaden's was dynamic poses and Perynne's had stiffer poses.

Thats all i was trying to say. I have trouble saying what I mean sometimes.

LadyNilene · Feb 21, 2007, 05:11 AM // 05:11

In light of the fallout we just had in the thread, we decided to make our cut now.

Firstly, I want to say I was extremely disappointed in the display of cattiness that was shown in the thread yesterday. This completely reminds me of the sillyness of ANTM Cycle 5 Bre's missing Granola bars, and Nicole's wasted Red Bull Energy drinks...its just so silly. Both parties involved retaliated, and both of you lost respect from the judges. What was shown yesterday was not by any means a way to impress the judges and will hurt you in the final voting, right now, there is a clear winner in my eyes.

Burnou Chic, you are safe into the final two.

As for our bottom two...

Jaden Stone - You know exactly why you are in the bottom two. You claimed to me you wanted to win this competition, yet you are continually doing things that make you look bad in front of the judges and to the fans, which will ultimiately determine your fate in this competition. You literally shot yourself in the foot. I gave you the advice of not putting yourself in a bad light, and you go and do it again. You really let us down, you let me down. I talked to you about this, and I see little to no change, and I hope you don't regret that.

Perynne Walker - You are here because you felt the need to get defensive and go into drama mode which spun out of control. If you really wanted to prove Jaden wrong, instead of retaliating, you should've let your work do all the talking for itself. I can genuinely say that your interview blows hers out of the water by far and your picture isn't great, but her picture isn't fantastic either.

I am ashamed to have both of you in my final three, obviously, the judges made an error in judgement. You really let us down. The thing about being a good competitor is being a humble winner/loser/player, and both of you did not display any of those qualities. All your hard work throughout this competition, is tarnished, gone. I hate the fact that now that things played out the way it did, and I would hate for Burnout Chic to be a default winner, because I'm sure she wants to win because she's great and not because her two competitors are poor sports.

It might not be a big deal to you guys, but we do not want this thread to be an excuse to flame each other. Both of you have made your bed, and both of you will lie in it. For one of you, elimination awaits, and for the other, a special surprise awaits you that will be revealed in a bit...

I will allow for one more 1 on 1 session for one last impression to try and regain what dignity you can get from us, but only one of you will get it, while the other gets eliminated. Below are two links to two pictures. One is a fully colored picture, and one is a greyscaled picture, the drill is simple, colored stays, greyscaled goes.

Don't get relieved just yet, because our eliminated contestant's role in this competition isn't over by far. The fifth and final vote that will help determine our winner is officially revealed, the 2nd runner up of TNTM is that voter. So our eliminated contestant is the fifth and final vote that will help determine who wins Tyria's Next Top Model. As for our safe contestant, as I said, the votes we're already made, so considered this your freebee, cause the votes could've been a lot different after seeing that fallout.

You guys really put us in a difficult spot, and really let us down. Congrats for both of you for making it this far, but we on panel are disappointed to see how this all boiled down. We will get the poll situated soon, and I will contact our eliminated contestant for the final vote as well as for our other contestant for that 1 on 1, and we will show one last deliberation tomorrow.

Good Look To Everyone, and congrats to our final two.

Congratulations to Burnout and Jaden.

The final vote will be interesting to say the least.
