Make Me A Supermodel
Amanda

The photo shoot this week was all about the '60s. The hair and makeup, along with the clothes were amazing! However I’m paired up with Laury, which I am kind of worried about because she was in the bottom three last week. Also, I haven’t really connected with her on a friend level yet, so I hope we get a good picture.

After shooting, I feel OK about it but I’m still very nervous because Tyson and Nicole told us that there would be two people going home this week. It puts double the pressure on all of us, especially since there are only 10 of us left.

When Nicole came to show us our books, I am praying to God that my picture is good … and when I opened it up, I was amazed! I love my picture soooo much! It showed a whole other side of me. I was laughing and had makeup in my hand so this picture definitely could book me a cosmetic job for sure. Hopefully the picture is good enough to keep me safe another week.  The next day was catwalk day and Tyson and Nicole bring out the founders of the House of Diehl. They are known for participating in “style wars” which are competitions where two designers battle and try to make unique outfits in four minutes. Style wars are what this week’s runway is all about. We get paired up with our designers, and mine is awesome! She has got a great style and I was really excited to work with her.

While she was styling me I was extremely impressed with what she put together. It made it very easy to walk down the runway confidently because I absolutely loved the outfit.

But at the end of the day, the judges thought my picture was too “girl next door” and that I could have done more on the catwalk. I was in the bottom four and it was the scariest thing ever because two people were going home this week. Thankfully, Colin and I were safe, but Kerryn and Laury were sent home. Kerryn was one of my best friends in the house and I’m very sad to see her go. But I’m extremely happy that I’ve made the top eight!!! Wow, I keep impressing myself each week. I never would have thought I would make it this far.

I just wanted to write a little something and I guess set a few things straight. I know Amanda personally and for anyone to say “I don’t like her”, is stupid if you think you actually know her. This is A SHOW, that’s what you all need to remember. All you know of anyone on the show, is what is aired on TV. How can you even begin to think you can really know someone by snippets? In REAL life, she is a loving mother and one of the most generous people I know. She’s got a great heart. Come on people, stop being so cut throat! I give respect to all of these models. I mean, they put themselves out there on national TV for the world to scrutinize them and the producers to portray them in whatever way they want, just for a chance to accomplish their dreams. What if everything you have ever said was blasted to the world for everyone to judge? … Just try and put yourself in these models shoes. You cant judge someone off of a comment, like saying “The job Jordan booked sounds boring”… I mean, come on! You people have the luxury of staying anonymous on here, so just obey the golden rule and treat people how you want to be treated. It’s not that hard.

You are beautiful and talented. Don't let Jordan or any of the other housemates get you down. Seriously Jordan is just jealous. Keep you head high girl! Your awesome. Good job on not getting even and staying strong. I'm also sad to see Kerryn go she was also a nice girl. Don't let them pick off another nice girl!

Why do you have to be so negative when someone else gets a job? Can't you just be happy and just try harder next time. I don't think I like you very much.

amanda, I have been cheering for you since I started watching the show. You are the most gorgious girl there that other girl that thinks she is miss it isn't. You need to get more self confidence. Like the previos person wrote consantrat on your photo shots and walks. I beleive you will ve the next top model if you don't allow the other woman with the dark hair to get to you. Just ignore her and a couple of the others. Be yourelf and shine as you always do. Good Luck,

Impressing yourself? Best laugh of the week as you obviously weren't impressing the judges very much. The first 2 weeks I thought it was going to be a "down to the wire race" between you, Jordan and Jonathan. Now I think you're next to go after Colin. You've turned into a facially lifeless mannequin which, unfortunately, is sad and uncomfortable to watch.

I don't get why the judges were so down on you. You have great pictures. In fact, from the last show, there were several shots of you that were better but Laurie looked bad. I guess your walk is really the issue...it needs more poise and personality. Hope you can think it through!

Girl, your time is up! I cannot hear one more word about "I'm a single mom, feel sorry for me." Tired. Old. Boring. And just admit that you are jealous of Jordan with the "Boring" comment when she was explaining her go-see job. Bet it wouldn't have been boring if you were the one to book it. I like the way you get your digs in on others but you don't get ragged on like Jordan does. Oh, did I tell you...your time is up?

Amanda you are my absolute favorite. You are the prettiest girl in the house and you take amazing photos. I really think the judges are being to hard on you, while they praise Jordan who is one step from just plain boring. Your 1000x better looking she is, so dnt let her get to you.

Amanda,

I think you have the best shot at this, not because we share the same name, but because you deserve to be a SuperModel. You just need to step it up a notch. Show the judges that you are kind, but forceful. Be correct, but not snottily rightous. Congratulate winners and console losers. You know you have the ability to grow and mature through this competition, and in the end, you will shine like the star you are. Let go of the worry about the others, as that will just drag you down. You can do this. For your son. I'm sure rooting for you!
