Allison and Aminat (together) Aminat came in 3rd, Allison came in 2nd...
Teyona, the winner for Cycle 12, as you can see, she is very pretty, and quite photogenic....
This is really a ladies discussion, but you men are welcome to chime in if you want to....
I came upon this discussion on another site, and I admit I was floored! I remember how HP used to always talk about how very racist ww were and how they refused to let any woman of color have the spotlight-as well as how they would work to retain a pedestal, they claimed not to have.
Many times I have seen exactly what he was talking about, but rarely is it this blatant. For those of you who do not watch, Tyra crowned Teyona the newest top model. Teyona is, as you can see an attractive young woman with much on the ball. Now keep in mind all through the season, Teyona had very strong pictures, and proved herself to be very ambitious and hardworking. I don't believe she was ever in the bottom two. Aminat, who came in third, had a fabulous body, as Tyra kept pointing out, but her pictures were lukewarm. So despite a strong showing in the commercial, she was eliminated. The third contestant of the top 3 was a small, waif looking wg. She was very sweet with big doe eyes, and a gentle nature. However, although she did well toward the end, the judges complained that many of her pics had little variety, and she was chosen as 2nd runner up. Well need I say all hell broke free! WW were up in arms saying that Tyra only chose Teyona because she was black! They are truly livid! They are saying things such as how can a blk girl beat out all those wgs? -WTH!- They are calling for a recount, and calling Tyra racist! They are talking about banning the show, and emailing in complaints en masse!
I just have a little question. How come when Nicole (almost eliminated twice- wg) beat out Nic (who was blk and far more exotic looking ) how come they didn't come out en masse then and raise hell? How come when Yoanna -super bitch-let me spend all day talking about ppl-ww) beat out beautiful biracial Mercedes, (who outlooked her, out stomped her, and out pictured her constantly)- how come they didn't stampede and email complaints en masse then? They actually had the nerve to be saying things like "That's the 4th time a bg beat out a wg for the title! " Hello, Alot of ppl were unhappy with last season's winner, but because she was white, there didn't seem to be much controversy at all. I was unhappy with the plus sized winner because I felt like she really proved herself to be a very nasty person. I thought she was really pretty, but butt ugly on the inside. I remember watching her mess with the biracial girl as she tried to sleep. She and the two other ww sat beside her bed and talked about her like a dog. When the girl asked them to go away, they laughed, and grew more vicious in their taunts. Yet this is the exact type of behavior Tyra is quick to send the bgs home for. (Monique, Camilla, or the red headed bg anyone?) Yet this wg won after repeatedly acting like a class A bitch almost the entire time. Personally, I feel like if Tyra has displayed any favoritism, it has been directed to the wgs-not the blk ones. But I understand she is doing everything in her power not to be labeled unfair. Heaven forbid, a bw display favoritism toward other bw -even though we have ww like the former editor of Cosmopolitan blatantly, and proudly stating that as long as she was editor and chief -no black woman would ever be on the cover of Cosmo! You see it seems it's ok for a ww to blatantly be for ww, but how dare a woman of color ever dare try to help another WOC! Did anyone besides me notice how twiggy (when she was on) would fight tooth and nail for the wg's while simultaneously throwing the girls of color under the bus? It got to be so blatant, I almost stopped watching. It was so funny to me listening to them rant angrily about why didn't Cecelia win or why didn't Alison win? They are truly furious because they seem to feel EVERYTHING should be for WW! What I want to know first of all is, why was Cecelia even there??? They (WW) were going on about how gorgeous she was, and how gorgeous Alison was, but (not to be cruel) I thought Cecelia was one of the most unattractive models I've seen in a long time, and I thought Allison was only cute. Am I imagining things, or is anything white and female instantly transported to the higher echelon of beautiful, stunning, breath taking, etc. Now to be fair, I didn't find the last two remaining bg's beautiful either. Neither one of them was Gabriel, Beyonce, Megan Good or the like, but I thought the top 3 were attractive. Teyona, I thought was pretty, with Allison, and Aminat being cute. I do remember a cycle of Top model where ALL the bgs were gorgeous Evia, Yaya, Tocarra, and Kelly, this cycle was not like that. but like I said, I thought the top 3 were all attractive, not beautiful (just my opinion-if you disagree-that's cool) It's just the way they raved over how beautiful Alison was, and how beautiful Ceceila was, and I was like, was I watching the same show?? I really feel like they're calling these (I cute, I unattractive ) women beautiful because they are white, and I take issue with that, as well as them acting like how dare Tyra pick the one she chose instead of the one WW WANTED! I take issue with that as well. Has she not been in the business for years? Is it not HER show? Is it not her company? Then somebody please explain to me why it would not ultimately be HER DECISION??? Below is a sample of the site -along with site information....Tell me what you think.....
Some comments (mostly ww)
I knew Allison at LSU, but with that bias aside, she should have won.
i wanted celia or allison to win they were so good
CHARLENE OKAY PEOPLE SAY THEY WERE SURPRISE TEYONE WON? HOW THEY WERE PUSHING HER THIS WHOLE ENTIRE SEASON AND AMINAT WAS TYRA'S FAVORITE THAT'S HOW SHE GOT THAT FAR BECAUSE HER PHOTOS ALWAYS SUCKED BUT THEY KEPT HER THERE WEEK AFTER WEEK. I WAS PUSHING FOR ALLISON I THOUGHT SHE HAD AN AMAZING FACE AND A PERSONALITY THAT ANYONE COULD FALL IN LOVE WITH. SHE ALREADY AS TWO MANAGEMENT OFFERS SO IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT HER WELL GOOD LUCK TO ALL THREE. I AM ALSO HAPPY THEY SAID PAULINA WAS FUNNY AND COOL AND NOT EGOTISTICAL BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY PERSON ON THAT SHOW WITH AN EGO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CELEBRITIES MS. TYRA BANKS I LOVE YOU BUT YOUR * ONCE THERE WAS A SUPERMODEL WHO PULLED OUT HER RULE TO OWNING YOU INNER FIERCENESS? COME ON ON TYRA...
I am disappointed that Allison didn't win, but I thought long ago that they were pushing Teyona, so it wasn't really a big surprise. I liked Aminat, but Allison should have won over Teyona.
Paulina getting fired was a shocker, why did they do it? She had a nice vibe. This is just like last season with McKey winning. Second year in a row that the cute perky blond girl came in second.
It is about the pictures, and not the personality for selling Cover Girl.
I really wanted Allison to win....she seems the most genuine out of the 3 and had a more unique look.
Allison should have won!!!! It is obvious that Teyona and Aminat were Tyra's favorites, Allison had way better pictures the whole time and did way better on the runway during the last show. Sooo unfair, but at the same time expected from Tyra Banks. i'll tell u all why Allison did not win, cause Tyra's racist. Even my husband could tll and he's a man. The reason why they fired Paulina was because she was pushing more towards Allison, tyra is the one behind this, I know. Have u all noticed that all the women judges change every other year and the men stay the same??? Tyra must have some ego...and attitude problems..racist, she always picks her kind.
I agree that tyra showed favoritism for the Black females, and im not even white or black. im Hispanic. But it showed. the one thing people here havent mentioned is that when the show was at its climax, Allison won the runway, and she also won in what they were saying about the pics. so how does Tyra have the nerve to say * WE" have come to a decision. I bet thats why Paulina got fired. lol I don't know how Allison didn't win. The judges all had more positive things to say about her and her pictures and she did a way better job on the runway. Tyra called Teyona a robot on the runway!! I think Allison has come along way in this show and should have come out the winner. I hope she signs with a modeling company and goes far!!!
We will see Allison again not sure if we will see Teyona in another year.
sarah Thu,-I'm totally disagreeing with Teyona winning!
Allison should have won!She's far more exotic.
TO NUMBER 14 Thu, May 14, 2009, 5:22 PM TO NUMBER 14 Thu, May 14, 2009, 5:23 PM MAY I REMIND YOU THAT WHITNEY DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN CYCLE 10 BUT SHE DID BECAUSE TYRA WAS PUSHING FOR A PLUS SIZE GIRL WHO SHE REALLY LIKED(WHITNEY WAS HER FAVORITE
mer Thu, May -I loved Allison. I thought she had such a sweet personality and her photos were great. She improved so much from the beginning of the show! Good Luck Allison! Silver
Thu-ugh i wanted Allison to win DISAPOINTED in the judges
lea Thu-alison should of won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 26.wiz Thu,-ALLISON IS SO MUCH BETTER
whocares Thu, -This show was rigged from the beginning and you knew it. I am not saying Teyona was not good. But Allison rocked that runway and they did nto excpet that. And this is the first season that I noticed how biased Tyra was. I loved when Eva wont she deserved it. But this time Tyra was wrong.
jacki Thu, May -BOYCOTT ANTM! It's never been more obvious that this show is RIGGED. Allison was the obvious win, I'm not wasting more time watching that crud!! CJ Thu, May 14,
2009, 5:38 PM I'm amused that people are calling Tyra racist seeing as more than half of the winners of ANTM have been white XD Good fail...sure she's a b**** but that's hilarious xD Anyway, I'm depressed Allison lost but kudos to them all! 30.un-photogenic -I soooooo think Allison should have won! She is the prettiest girl I've ever seen and her photos were....I'm speechless. teyona's photos were just average. Well, best of luck to Allison and I hope she makes it HUGE! I'd also like to say that over anyone i've met you have the least reason to be self concious! So live long and prosperous! (wow I'm such a dork)
Josh Thu, May 14- Allison should have one! I screamed when Tyra didn't call her up!
tyne Thu, May 14-Allison should have won the title. She's genuine, beautiful, loyal, not into herself, composed herself professional...I'm truley upset she did not win as she deserved it!!! deana
Thu, May -i wanted allison to win for sure. she is way prettier and i liked her pictures more. i though aminat should have went home a looong time ago her pictures were not great at all. she looked like danielle that won a few seasons ago except she didnt deliver in her pictures like dani. i hope allison gets a modeling job because she deserves it! WTF
Thu, May 14-Those idiots who are pulling the race card a stupid.Just because a black girl won doesnt mean she doesnt desrve it and that she didnt work hard.If you people watched the whole season like i did, you would see through out the whole season allison did bad, she kept giving the same facials exspresisions.Its only the last 4 episodes when she stepped it up.Celia and teyona were the front runners for the whole season, and one of them oviously teyna had to win.This racist thing is dumb, because im pretty sure,if tyra was white, and she picked allison then its all good with you, but now that she picked a black girl your ******* wtf, any ways, i watched the whole season, and teyona honestly did very well allison did well in photos not so much in runways and photoshoots.Stop hating on the girl, she honestly beat allison fair and square. smore
Thu, -The thing that annoyed me the most was how Tyra kept disagreeing with Nigel * Paulina on how pictures looked. For a lot of the pics, Paulina * Nigel would say it was OK while Tyra would rant on how amazing it was. Remember the pic that Tyra shot? Paulina * Nigel HATED it but Tyra kept saying how beautiful it was. It's becoming clearer that the show is just a way she promotes her own personal agenda. She found plus-size models, African American, and mixed-race models. The show kept trying to push Teyona as a fan favorite so we'd all be happy when she won, but everyone loved Allison. I also don't get why they kept saying Aminat was so beautiful, she looks so plain compared to Teyona and Allison. ravana
Thu,-Did anyone else notice that from the beginning of the final stage of competition they only really followed what Teyona was saying. They would always point the camera at her, not Allison, and at one point she was standing right there and Mr. Jay was talking to them bothj. It becomes pretty obvious who the winner is gonna be if you focus almost the entire hour on that person. I don't really care who won, but I have and always will be an Allison fan!! joy
Thu, May-i also thought allison should've won... she's more internationational looking than the others. i will not be surprised if i see her photographs in well known fashion magazines... Caila
Thu, -Allison should have won! I cried when she didn't! She was gorgeous in a weird way, which was why I really wanted her to win. go allison
Thu, -when tyra said that allison and teyona were neck to neck on the competition...all i said what wtf are you talking about? clearly allison is 100 steps ahead of teyona *** horrible season winner.
Noelle Thu,-I wanted Allison to win and think she was the most deserving. But I knew Teyona would win, you could tell Tyra favored her from early on. meg
Thu, -whoa...this is like the fourth season that a black girl and white girl have made it to the finals, and the black girl won... examples: neyema and kaylen, danielle and joanie, siliesha and chantal, and now teyona over allison. i agree with everyone here, tyra plays favorites in every season, often choosing a black girl over an obviously more talented white girl. i'm not necessarily.....
It goes on and on like this (blatant racism) Now tell me if the bg is BETTER-why shouldn't she win? The last poster seems indignant that Tyra would have the nerve to choose a bg over a wg under ANY circumstance!!! Now this is just a sample, but did yall hear how they kept raving over how beautiful this little wg was? How many of yall thought she was so outstandingly beautiful? Lets keep it real. I thought Teyona was more attractive than her, but that's not why she won (I don't think) I just felt that Teyona really, really wanted it! Ppl tend to get the things they really really want, because they work extra hard for them. I really feel like more and more ww show their racism, yet are given a pass for it. No one seems to want to call them on it. This is why I loved HP's blog so much. He was never afraid to call them on it....
