Isn't naming as favorite show one associated with another model a reason for ejection from Tyra World?

[Saintz]

I thought Heidi was Tyra's friend. I mean she also hosts GNTM, heh.

Anyway, Leila is my favorite this cycle. I doubt she wins but I hope she makes it overseas at least.

Leila's the only one I like.

[The Void]

Leila's got the most potential of the bunch. At this point, she's a likely contender for the finale unless something crazy happens.

[boltcat]

She said she model before, did anyone able to dig up any work that she had done so far?

Some pre-show pics here: Silvergrain/Beuxpix For shopcalico.com melissa photography Modeling clothing Runway Beauty shots For bridepower.com From a set by Rachel Lynsey Rubin For happyscarf.com

She's my favorite based on potential alone but some of her photos are meh. I wonder if working with different photographers would help her (and no I don't mean the ones on ANTM)? I think even if she doesn't win, she'll get signed. It's not like there aren't models working who don't have a broad range of emotions.

Hmmm, some of the pictures remind me of C5 Lisa, Some remind me of Kristen Stewart (which is funny because both have limited range of facial expression)

Leila is the only good thing to come out of Framingham since the Wonder Bread factory closed...

[markiemarkie]

Can't believe she was eliminated! What complete and utter BS. She was the only one out of all the girls who looked like a model, IMHO.

I thought the same thing until I realized that she was going to win the comeback competition.

Yes, unless Kristin and/or Laura get eliminated the next few episodes.
I have done some calculation, Leila has the third highest SM score behind the two above.
with Allyssa and Victoria behind her just 1.something points, which still can be overcomes in two-three episodes.

Man, I hope she's good at faking because she doesn't sound like she comes back.

[The Void]

Considering that the added fan scores are what will be bringing a girl back, I'm pretty sure she's coming back unless Kristin or Laura are eliminated in the next few weeks.

I think Leila may have a bit of an edge because she hasn't been in the house from hell for a few weeks. I think it would be a relief.

Are these post-ANTM? She looks gorgeous with dark brown hair, but the scarves are hideous.

[milkyaqua]

Those are post as she went back to her darker color after the show was done filming. I think she was lightening up again though.

[Edith Bluth]

She was way too good for this show, anyway. She's gorgeous and has a personality to match. I hope she goes far!

[Crucial]

Yay for Leila, you really don't have to have the tag of this show (hopefully). You werent the winner or runner up so you can have a nice career.

Message from her fb:

I know you are all wondering and asking about agencies and editorials and everything else! Now that the show has ended I have many opportunities to explore! However, I am a full time student and finals are coming up so at the moment I'm focusing mainly on my studies. Come winter break I'll have the ability to travel and do much more! Stay tuned...
