Ep. 7 - Looking For Outstanding & Unusual Qualities

Well, the cover shots were all pretty amazing alright-I have no doubt that each and every one of these girls has the potential to have a successful career in this business-if they can "pump up" the dynamo quotient.  I especially loved Rebecca's shot-though it was more Italian Vogue that Fashion Magazine.  That girl really does have an extraordinary look.  I also though Tia really rocked, pulling off that retro look with such ease.... No question she's got what it takes too. But we're a little worried that her hips just aren't the right proportions..... Stupid, eh??? But that's the ruthless fashion world for you.  She'd better be a size 4, or she could run into trouble. Tara's shot was good as well..... very pretty..... but I still feel that Tara's a little too much of a blank slate.  Her beauty, strong as it is, may not be "memorable" enough for Top Model material.  Then there's Sinead-a gorgeous girl to be sure.  But is she too commercial????  I just don't see her as being "unique" enough, as gorgeous as she is.  It's almost as though I've seen her "look" too often before.  Cori...well..... Cori is heartstoppingly beautiful.  But again, I'm not sure how unusual her look really is.  I want to see someone outstanding-someone unusual-someone memorable.  Which girl can really deliver??????  Well, since Cori still seems a little too fragile to send out into that big scary fashion world.... And since her dynamism is yet to shine through in her pictures, guess it has to be Cori that goes.  So sad.  She really seems so sweet.  That's what kills me each week:  Having to "axe" these stunning girls, one by one.  But that's what this competition is all about.  Let's just hope they're all learning something along the way.  Actually, how can they not be?  Now it's up to each and everyone to take what they've learned, apply it, and show the world they can all succeed as models, whether they're Canada's Next Top Model...or not.

HOW CAN YOU KICK CORI OFF!! i belive that she was one of the strongest girls in that competition. she took amazing photos and had only 2 not so good ones. while other girls had 3-5 bad shots you should think more of who you vote off.

I'm glad you joined the CNTM panel this season as you are really the only Canadian fashion icon. The only thing I *don't* like about CNTM is that it perpetuates the sentiment that the fashion world is brutal and you'd better conform to it. Change has to start somewhere so I just love it when you say that you are looking for someone different. Why does Canada have to be a pale imitation of Italy or France? Why can't we create and promote (that's you) the Canadian version of beauty?

I'm finally relieved that the vote was on Cori (I know, it's a cruel world and even more ruthless viewers). I can't believe I'm actually hooked on the show and am now writing commentary on Jeanne Beker's BLOG!  I hardly even watch television.  The show is becoming more intense as the competition tightens.  The judge's have chosen well and it's too bad that so little of the discussion and decision-making process is shown on the tube.  And too bad the season finale is only an hour!  Anyway, good luck with the judging and I have a feeling you already have an inkling on who will truly be CNTM.  And I agree.

I agree with the previous post...The idea of "someone different" is great...In fact, I've always wondered, would CNTM consider candidates that are not high fashion? Maybe more commercial or different...?  I just think that there are a lot of girls out there that have something awesome to bring to the table but they might not fit into the "high fashion" box.  I'd like to see some plus size options for Canada!!! Because we all know, plus size now a days is pretty regular~!

this season ROCKS.  I am so glad Jay took over.  Season one had a budget look and feel to it.  This year it is polished, world class - as well it should be.  Canada has constantly provided some of the best talent.  For example...weren't you the official inventor of fashion entertainment???!! The judges have amazing chemistry, the photo's are wicked, and not only is the show entertaining, but you actually feel like the judges are really teaching the girls.  

I loved the episode when Jay- always nice- blew up on the girls for insulting the hair talent.  I am a make-up artist and I am always shocked when I work with models who treat hair and make-up like crap and save all their respect for the photographers.  I have too much respect  for my work to do a bad job on a b**tchy girl, but I make sure a client knows not to use that girl next time.

Thanks so much for kicking Cori off!! Rebecca and all the other girls are better. I think you should have voted off Cori and Tara....
