Rebecca – Rebecca is a former flight attendant that comes to us from Minneapolis, MN. She’s 22, and her favorite magazine is US Weekly, which to me, shows that she actually has a brain. Rebecca has this classic look that really draws you in. In a strange way, she reminds me of Kit, from A League of Their Own, only with blonder hair. Maybe I’m straying a little from the point here. My prediction is that she will either go out early or be one of the last girls standing. Her performance will predict where she lands, but I’m going to be optimistic. I like her!
Sarah – 22-year-old Sarah comes from Baltimore, MD. Hey, that’s where RNO’s own Sting7 comes to us from. Maybe they used to be “connected.” Who knows! Anyway, Sarah lists her occupation as a waitress. I, on the other hand, will continue to say that waiting tables is not an occupation – it’s a job, and there is a difference. Let me stop being bitter. Sarah is really pretty, and reminds me of Nicole from last season. That tattoo on her arm might cause some problems unless she is good at covering it up, but I’m sure the make-up people can do that for her. Let’s hope that she is more noticeable than Nicole was last season. I think she will be. My prediction? I’ll say she is around the 7th or 8th girl cut.
Tatiana – Ugh, I hate that name! She’s hot though – so give it up! Another waitress, Tatiana is from Maui, HI. She’s 18-years-old, lists Braveheart as her favorite movie and “programs on the History channel” as her favorite TV show. I don’t think she understood the question. My favorite part about her profile is that her favorite food is salad. People actually list that as their favorite food? That’s a rabbit’s favorite food, not a person. I’d list it as a favorite, as long as it has shrimp, beef, loads of dressing and everything else in it! You can cozy up to Tatiana, I think she’ll last a good while.
Tiffany – Nope. I’m not feeling this one at all. A mother, Tiffany is 22 and comes from Miami, FL. Wow, they sure did pick the Floridians this season, didn’t they? You can tell how ghetto she is when you read that her favorite food is “Popeye’s spicy wings.” That’s right – I said it, but I’m allowed too – I can be ghetto at times too. I have a feeling that Tiffany is going to try and be some kind of Nubian Queen that gets on everyone’s nerves, including mine. She’ll last for a good part of the competition, but has no chance of winning, mark my words!
So there you have it – a preview of the 14 girls who will be vying to win America’s Next Top Model 4. I don’t want to curse anyone by saying that they will win, because that will make them come in second. Therefore, I’m going to pick two girls! Naima or Brittany will be the winner – that is my prediction. However, Keenyah is my INSTANT favorite. I’m not so sure why yet, but I’m sure she’ll be a crowd favorite. At least – I hope so! America’s Next Top Model 4 premieres on March 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on UPN. Be there or be square – and then come and read my recaps, which are always chock full of my inside comments. How can you resist?
