what happened off screen that made the judges call branden cocky??? i think that this kid is great. he looks like a young paul newman with a touch of eastern european fierceness. i don't find him to be cocky in the least. when he wins or does well he has the same reaction for himself as he does for when one of his opponents wins-he is enthusiastic and happy. from what i have seen he comes off as genuine and upbeat. i loved his reaction to finding out that he was going to be off to the side in the last photo shoot. no lie-i rewound and watched it 3 times. PRICELESS!!

Hey,

Umm, I know you guys dont really read these but o-well I think your hot, and one of my friends looks exactly like you its extremely wierd.
Addvice: Don't get to cocky your look takes a sertain taste. Just think that for every person who thinks your hot theres a person who dosn't find you attractive. That should help with cockieness.

poor branden... i love CJ too and it's sad to see her went home.. just let bygones be bygones, can't wait to see u become the winner,
love you!!

Sorry Brandon, I thought you were #1 for the first three weeks but now I think Jonathan is taking the lead. You need to present yourself with a little more uniquess to stand out from the others.

Branden,
I didn't get Jenny Shimizu's comment about you getting cocky. She misreads exuberance and the spontaneity of youth for cockiness. It was a jaded remark made by someone who has been in the business for awhile and thinks everyone is full of themselves. I'd say to just blow it off but you'd better be a bit more guarded next time. I have no doubt they'll put you in the bottom 3 in the next episode...I hope that Tyson is there to go to bat for you. I think he will. Just be careful next time.
On a lighter note, I couldn't help but laugh when you didn't get to "be with" the girls on the shoot. You could see that you were chomping at the bit for that one. But the photo was great...and it was difficult because you had no one to work with. Good for you.
Honestly...for an 18 year old boy...you are doing a fantastic job. I give you a lot of credit.
Keep it up.
Alex.

hey Brandon, I admire you, I know you will be one of the finalist good luck in your journey as a model.

I LOVE BRANDON, HE IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL GOOD LOOKING GUY, BUT HE DOES HAVE A CERTAIN SEX APPEAL. I HOPE HE MAKES IT TO THE TOP, LOVE HIM

What did you enjoy about CJ being there that you do not about the other female models?

What's your take on the judges comment that you are getting cockier and cockier?

In any case, you're still one of my fave models on the show. Your personality comes across well. You come across as a guy people would want to know.

Best wishes in the competition and keep smiling, it's adorable.

You have a good smart attitude - and you will go far thanks for your blog insight
