Wait... is this... a natural redhead?

"When I was young, I had a bloody eyeball. The other kids called me...Bloody Eyeball."

Why do all red-heads have to be named Nicole? Even Nicole C5 looked like she had red hair half the time. But Nicole looks like the first read red-head. Maybe she'll pull an Alice/Adele and be amazing.

[milkyaqua]

Ha! I know a natural redhead...go figure. If she stays for makeovers, Tyra is going to make her a blonde. I think she's pretty but that look on her face in her pic is doing her no favors.

[soBlu]

I think she's really gorgeous, she's one of my picks for the win.

[Kanine]

Pre-show favorite! I have such a hard-on for Nicole already. She looks a bit like Giselle.

[ThighraBanks]

Please please PLEASE Tyra, make this girl win. Agencies can even bump her up to 5'9''!

[nicenessness]

Or she can just do some yoga and grow two inches like Eva did!

[Disc]

Stunning, so obviously she's doomed for 3rd or 4th place.

Oh, we are in agreement this season! I saw her picture and immediately claimed her as my favorite. Please don't suck, Nicole.

"When I was young, I had a bloody eyeball. The other kids called me...Bloody Eyeball."

That quote reminds me of this one from The Golden Girls.

Rose: When I was in school the kids made up a really mean nick name for me just because I had hairy legs.
Blanche: What did they call you?
Rose: Rose with the hairy legs.
Dorothy: Kids can be so cruel.

Oh, I love her. She's stunning.

[evilandproud]

I think Bloody Eyeball is the prettiest girl on the show this season by far.

[nowrite2000]

She could be the quirky/interesting one, which means her photographic output will be cool and interesting and she won't win.

I hope they let her embrace her ginger. Bleaching out natural redheads is like picking off members of an endangered species with a shotgun.

That's actually an urban myth...
But it is still quite rare, so Tyra shouldn't fuck with her hair.

[C0mputerGeek]

That is one horrible photo, and I am not rooting for her in the slightest. I'll need to see a better picture to understand the magic that the rest of you feel.

As for makeovers...since she is white then there is a high probability that she'll go blonde.

[Le Furonda]

She can turn out a picture. She looks like the Babin twins crossed with Julia Stiles.

As for makeovers, she probably stays red, if that's her in the overseas pictures on the surfboard.

[milkyaqua]

That US Weekly pic is an improvement. What does Tyra have Jim DeYonker doing to these girls in those pre-show pics?

[soBlu]

Nicole is my pick for the win for sure now. She's one of only 2 or 3 girls I could see having a career post-show at all.

"When I was young, I had a bloody eyeball. The other kids called me...Bloody Eyeball."

OMG...I laughed so hard when i read this......

She seems really ordinary to me....

[T Scrumptious]

She looks like the Babin twins crossed with Julia Stiles.

I thought Julia Stiles when I saw the picture, but there's definitely a bit of Babin in there. PS. I saw Julia Stiles at a bar in Brooklyn on Tuesday night.

[Hermosa]

I didn't think that much of her based on the pre-show picture (although i love her hair colour and hope she gets to keep it), but based on the Us Weekly photo she was the one who stood out for me the most (in a good way) and so i hope she goes far.

[milkyaqua]

Pre-show pics courtesy Honestly ANTM.

[soBlu]

I really like the first one.

[Le Furonda]

I don't know...I'm not impressed. I think she works best either completely natural or completely glammed up. There's something about her brow region that seems sort of rough. I do like the second one.

That said, I think a good makeover will do her well, and she definitely has potential.

[Tigerella]

The best of the bunch, I think...but that's not saying too much. I can see the comparisons to AusNTM's Alice/Adele with the pale complexion and the hair--both of them drew criticism for having "one look" (albeit a very good look). I'm thinking Nicole is in for the same. Hope she keeps the red.

[milkyaqua]

Another pre-show pic. I hope she keeps the red as well but Tyra is twisted and will probably make her a bleached blonde.

[Le Furonda]

Her complexion is nearly as pale as Alice or Adele, which sort of upsets me. Tyra loves having redheads, even if they're not natural, so I think she'll just go more red (like fire-engine C3 Nicole red) but probably get some sort of horse mane weave just to mess her up.

ETA: Clearing up my meaning.

Tyra loves making girls redhead

But she's never had a real redhead, so I think Tyra will leave it alone. Maybe touch it up a bit.

[Disc]

I have a feeling all she'll get are some bangs and straightening.

[ivybaby]

There's something very "Celine Dion" about her face that I just don't like. I especially noticed it in the 1st pre-show pic that Milkyaqua posted.
