If I remember correctly, Shandi appeared on some ANTM reunion show with Tyra a couple of years back. She is no longer modeling, shaved her head and got lots of tattoos on her arms or something like that. Too bad because I thought she had so much potential too.

The producers and higher-ups are AWFUL for how Angelea was treated.  https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/americas-next-top-model-all-stars-contestant-angelea-preston

I liked Angelea even less the second time around. She is an awful model, has a terrible attitude, and seems to think her bad life entitles her to certain things. Growing up poor does not mean one is a

I met Angelea last week. She was in a liquor store doing some promotion for a spiced rum. She is so pretty in person, and nice, and normal seeming. She let me geek out for a while, took a bunch of pic

I saw some sort of fire safety (wildfire safety?) PSA featuring Joanie Dodds as the spokesperson.  I can't for the life of me find it online, but I was really surprised in my searching to see she'd cohosted (and served as carpenter on) a couple of seasons of DIY Network's "Run My Renovation."  

Speaking of teeth, eh?  Tyra made her sit through all that grueling dental work.  It'd be nice if she (Tyra) kicked in something for Amanda's implant!  (About to have my second implant placed early next year.  No fun, for the jaw or the wallet!)

-The ANTM finalist was arrested on June 28 in 2013 for investigation of burglary, fraud, narcotics possession, and committing a felony while on bail
- Alway shaved her head for her court appearance last year and told her sister it was because she wanted to 'start over'

OMG, a damn mess. The pictures in the article :S

That's really awful about Renee... her son couldn't be more than 10, right? You always hate to see people crash so spectacularly, especially when they have children.

 

RE: Angelea--Tyra is going to squash her like a bug.

I always felt that Renee had a lot of unresolved anger- both on her cycle and on Modelville. She took every failure or set back as a personal slight. She had a really terrible childhood, so the anger is understandable. But it's very sad for her and for her kid.

I met Angelea last week. She was in a liquor store doing some promotion for a spiced rum. She is so pretty in person, and nice, and normal seeming. She let me geek out for a while, took a bunch of pictures with me, and even gave me her cell phone number and told me to text her. She also told me some AWESOME gossip about one of last cycle's contestants hooking up with Russell Simmons and then blowing him off afterwards.
She also talked about the lawsuit somewhat. I sort of coaxed it out of her by saying: "I cannot believe they refilmed the finale because you were an escort". All in all we talked for about twenty minutes, and then, after I left, a few hours later she texted me and said I made her night. She was just so cool and its a shame that didn't come across on the show too much.

Also, Renee has never looked better.

Just for the sake of comic relief, I'm going to imagine that it was Marvin . . .

She seemed cool to me. She worked in a bank, after all.

Poor Renee. She looks rough in that photo. I wouldn't have recognized her at all! Hopefully she picks herself up on her feet for the sake of her child. I think cycle 8 has the most troubled contestants, as both Renee and Jael have made news recently for the wrong reasons. The only other hamster I think has been in the tabloids was C9 Bianca who fought with the "Hairspray" actress at some airport.

So Angelea turned a trick or two, that's the reason for all the mystery?   Pfft.  Big deal,  she was on the show twice, so why didn't  they dig it up before her second appearance?    Also, who cares?   I'd wager there are a lot of starving model wannabees who may have traded some play for the rent money.   Not everyone had their Mommy to manage their career and  go home to.

 

Isn't Rene the one who wanted to win that ugly bracelet which was a challenge prize so she could hock it to provide for her family?   Damn, no wonder she was so upset at losing.    She really did need the money badly.     But honey, you could have learned to work a pole instead of getting into a life of crime, or gotten a 75k per year job selling cable packages.    Those photos are brutal.

AND went to a top ten Redbook junior college.   Or something.

I've been seeing this PayPal commercial lately, and I swear it's Bianca "I won't debase myself in a tub".

If anyone else has seen it, do you think it's her, as well?

It's not her. The girl in the commercial is from Orange is the New Black

I never really liked Renee because she always seemed desperate and seemed to have entitlement issues during her season, but day-um.  She really focked up big time by going into a life of crime.  With four felonies, she just closed herself off from a LOT of promising careers. especially in the medical fields.

 

Just finished watching Cycle 6 and still didn't really like Jade.  She might be a really cool girl and pretty, but I didn't like her attitude at ALL during her cycle.  She seemed too caught up in her own legend and promotion during her run.  She certainly might have played it up to stay on the show, but she reeked arrogance instead of confidence.

 

Now, with Angelea, if she didn't get arrested for anything related to being an escort, it most likely won't come up on a background check and I don't think the show bothers with checking a hamster's financial record so, if Angelea didn't disclose it until the very end (which is very likely), then the producers wouldn't have known about it.  If she realized (or had been told) she was going to win around the time of the fashion show, she probably said something to somebody at that point, who then went to tell the PTB who then had to scramble.  When they showed Angelea being sick at the end, she might have realized that she had messed up, but not what was going to happen.  After all, if there was any legal issues, especially with the sponsors, then that would all have to be dealt with before a new winner was crowned, thus the delay between the actual finale (and I would love to see the video for that!) and the one that was aired.  Poor Allison.  She should have won BOTH the seasons she was in, not Teyona and not Lisa.

Joanie is my favorite contestant of all..

Me, too! She was essentially the perfect ANTM contestant: relatable, funny, from a humble background, passionate about modeling, and able to turn out a signature walk. Her portfolio is one of my favorites in the history of the show; she really knows how to emote in front of the camera.

 

I know why they probably chose Danielle (taller, younger, more modern looking), and I'm not mad about it because she seemed sweet and has done pretty well post-show. But if it were really all about who performed best during the competition, there's no way Joanie could have lost.

C8 Renee's interview with a CBS affiliate station in Riverside about the dangers of drug abuse. http://m.kesq.com/news/from-top-model-to-most-wanted-part-two-renee-alway-talks-drugs-and-reality-tv/30689556

 

Thanks for the link.  They also posted the full, unedited interview here:  http://m.kesq.com/news/uncut-renee-alway-exclusive-interview/30681202

 

She seemed to meander the whole time when responding to the reporter's questions.  At times she seemed to take responsibility for her actions, but she had other moments in the interview where she seemed more disingenuous, so everything could have been an act as far as we know.  But I do sincerely hope she uses the time she's incarcerated to do a lot of soul-searching and reflection and emerges as someone who won't be incarcerated again.  

 

She did mention that Top Model eliminees got a 5-10 minute phone therapy session after their elimination, but she claims that she was never contacted by Tyra or any other show staff member after her season or after Modelville (though she did show up on various red carpets promoting the show, so that can't be entirely true).

AzMarie, from the British Invasion cycle, is on the new Fox show on Empire. She plays the youngest rapper son's DJ. I was like, "Is that?" and the answer is yes, it is.

lmaoooo. Is that true?!?! 

I can't believe you really had me on IMDB checking that out. 

 

EDIT: IMDB says her name is Chicken on the show. I don't watch, so I don't know if that's the same person.

Yeah, Chicken. I can't remember if the name has actually been said on the show, but yes. Chicken.

 

I also don't know if Chicken is meant to be male or female. I know AzMarie plays with gender identity a little bit (and is a lesbian in real life) but the youngest son (Hakeem)'s crew is all guys and there is no reference at all about Chicken being different from that. I just know something's up cause I know it's AzMarie. 

 

And it's not like LGBT issues aren't talk about on the show- the middle son being gay is a big topic on the show and the R & B Rhianna type the younger son is into is bi. That revelation was a big thing for Hakeem in the show. Chicken is just this not discussed presence. 

 

Also, in other modelling news, Hakeem's much older secret girlfriend is played by....Naomi Campbell.

I don't know her name cause I watched this show only once or twice, but the girl with vitiglio had pix all over the SF subway when I was there last winter. Advertising a retail store, I think.

Is Chantelle doing anything other than Desigual? I still think she booked Desigual only because she has vitiligo and they are using it for publicity, rather than because of her actual "modeling" skills.

Wow, Angelea is still delusional.  If conditions were so bad, why did you go back for a second season?  And if people think that you're ghetto that's not really Tyra's fault, is it?  I do love the pictures of her in that article... those glasses and that nasty dress!!!  And you just know that she thinks she looks high class!  Sad.

Don looks good in the Forever 21 photos. I believe he also appeared on the website of Hot Topic modeling their clothes. Definitely catalog/commercial, but at least he is getting steady work.
