Clay: This picture reminds me of your obsession with Latin girls, always telling them to be more “spicy”. I don’t think you’d be happy with a Latin model unless she came to you bathed in El Charro Picante Verde Salsa and served red beans and rice in an “I Love Tyra” apron.
Peaches Babble-On: Tyra, I'm not seeing your top lip in this shot. It's important for you to remember that a woman with your personality (or lack thereof), you must use the few black features you have. Homework: See Iman.
Peaches Babble-On: A young lady who you interviewed on the "All About Tyra Talk Show" mistakenly contacted my office with a stern cease and desist letter. I'm forwarding to your company, Bankable Productions, for you to handle, but the long and short of it is—Karinne Steffans would like her King Magazine shoot back.
Apollonia: A top model like you should know there is tons of money spent on airbrushing and this photo required more airbrushing than a Mariah Carey album cover. Oh, yes, airbrushing--isn't that what you tore YaYa DaCosta to shreds for on Cycle 3 for her "bad" skin?
Apollonia: You look like a confused alien. Smile with your eyes!
Peaches Babble-On: This is obviously your best shot from the Stephen Spielberg challenge. As Furdona was told in Cycle 6, "Phone home!"

Apollonia: Does Naomi know about this? Didn’t you criticize Sara for copying Joanie’s pose on the elephant in Cycle 6? Remember, if you copy, you have to make it your own and you just made this less high-fashion and more the fifth member of En Vogue.
Peaches Babble-On: They say imitation is the best form of flattery and I’m glad to see you did your homework…but Naomi needs her face back.
Apollonia: Is this
Peaches Babble-On: Where is the high fashion? The judges (me) think this photo looks more like the cover a street literature novel (B-More Model-like)—more FRENCH VOGUE and less ZANE.
