Calling Chantelle a PANDA because of her skin is extremely offensive! And he had the audacity to get mad at her for not wanting to be called that! Saying she doesn't deserve the nickname. Damn right she doesn't deserve it! I never seen that season or episode but how did Tyra handle it?

I have to take a step back from the pop culture view of Tyra which I loved and after tonight I do see her problematic behavior.

It was so exploitive and it was just so gross watching Jay sympathize then basically tell her she can't avoid it. When she came back on all stars and brushed it all off as some shyness issue it just felt so disgusting because you obviously saw that it wasn't.

[@julia.e.carpenter]

Tyra has good intentions during the first season. During the first season, she was so tamed and kept her “voice” not hyped up like recent seasons. From the winners, we can see how the girls are so varied, to which it’s what she want. She wants diversity. She desperately wanted: - black - multiracial - plus size - masculine - akwward or weird looking - girls with issues - girls that never got accepted to an agency - “old” girls that shouldn’t be a model anymore - petite or super tall - transgender or lesbian She literally, desperately, wants them to win and won’t give the real girls a win, since maybe they can have a better chance than the winner. You rarely see girls like Sara (C2), Cassie (C3), Rebecca (C4), Chantal (C9), Jenah (C9), Anya (C10), Katarzyna (C10), Lauren Brie (C11), Natalie (C12), Naduah (C14), Jane (C15), Leila (C19), Jourdan (C20), Ivy (C21) and Paige (C23). As for the black or multiracial, to be honest probably half should be in the whole cycle. Notable girls like Yaya (C3), Naima (C4), Danielle (C6), Furonda (C6), Nnenna (C6), Anchal (C7), Fatima (C10), Brittany (C11), Kendal (C15), Ondrei (C16) and Tatiana (C23) are very well deserving to compete in the show. They give black or multiracial a chance and if they won, there wouldn’t be much controversy. While girls like Kelle (C3), Magdalena (C3), Keenyah (C4), Lisa (C5), Ebony (C5), Jade (C6), Wendy (C6), Monique (C7), Cassandra (C8), Ambreal (C9), Teyona (C12), Sandra (C12), Krista (C14), Alasia (C14), Kacey (C15), Kiara (C19) and Shanice (C24) shouldn’t even made it to semi-finals. None of them are working as models now. They didn’t make it because their look isn’t interesting enough. Tyra wants every cycle to have at least three black girls, in order to give them a chance in winning. Plus size girls like Whitney (C10), Kasia (C16) and Allyssa (C19) are honestly the only ones that should enter the competition while girls like Diane (C5), Whitney (C8), Diana (C8), Seymone (C18), Yvonne (C19) and Ivana (C24) shouldn’t go in. No agency would book them and they actually gave up once eliminated. I’m just saying this. If Tyra choose real models and only a few girls with “diversity” then the show wouldn’t be taken as a joke. Chantelle (Winnie) was right since the show didn’t give any models a chance, because the line up is very much underwhelming. Asia, Australia, Germany and probably Poland aren’t a joke. They take the show seriously and choose specific girls to get in the competition while Tyra choose “interesting” girl with most semi-finals consisting of black compared to blonde girls. It amazes me from the 24Cycles Caridee is the only real-blonde winner with Nicole and Jourdan being the two-only brunette winners. There’s four black girl winners (Eva, Danielle, Teyona and Krista) with five multiracial winners (Naima, Jaslene, Saleisha, Lisa and Kyla). Two “old” winner (Adrianne and Yoanna). A plus size winner (Whitney). A petite winner (Nicole). Two hunky male winners (Keith and Nyle). I’m just saying her legacy was massive when it started, but now it’s a joke. It’s sad actually.
