Salome, I have no Idea what you are feeling right now, but I know it is all knew and I can only imagine what it feels like to be completely different outwardly... I left the Mennonites about 2 years ago and when I watch you, I feel like just hugging the TV! Girl...the truth is in your eyes and you make a SUPER SUPER SUPER MODEL a million times over!

u are gorgous!gorgous!

i love you Salome! i really hope you win!!! good luck on the show!!:]

very simple i luv u !!!

Thank you all for all the support! This is so encouraging!

HI, to be honest i dont really watch the show until i saw you!!! I like your past, girl in the USA growing up without tv, radio and all the modern things, working hard made you into a beautiful woman. I am from Brazil and even though there is a brazilian girl in the show i still hope you win. I am going to keep on watching, i am trying to be a photographer and people like you inspire me, not only by your beauty but also by your way of life, i am a libra and so draw to beauty thats why i chose photography because some how you can freeze all that beauty in time, ok ijust used the word beauty a thousand times, i also want to write a book so i must pay attention right? One more thing, the big BUTT, niceeeeee, love u.

hey girl you look fantastic! incredible attitude, I hope you win you have an incredible coincidence with Holly, BUT WITH a better attitude. Keep being humble and everybody is gonna loves you!

How great is this that an ex-mennonite is a model. I was raised Holdeman mennonite, but left when I was 24 due to the fact that they did not want me to go to college. My mennonite family and friends still try to make life difficult for me. I finished school, moved to Dallas and married. I am not the only "ex" that is rooting for you. People can and will make it difficult for you, but usually they do not understand you or have no confidence in themselves. You go!!!

hey i thought you did grat and you are beutiful good job winning that shows you are going to go far and dont worry about the others they are just mad they didint win first so good luck and be hot

YOU GO GIRL!! i am pretty sure your my favorite so far. screw those two faced city folk you just said what everyone would be thinking if they had to choose someone. going to keep my finger crossed that you continue to grow as a woman and model. your going places regardless of the show "my opnion"
best of luck "fat girl, lol you rock!"

I could not be more proud of how well you are doing, but I am most proud that you believe in yourself and your ability to accomplish whatever your dreams are. You are gorgeous, and smart, and honest, and talented. Too bad that your honesty is interpreted as bitchiness or over-confidence... thank goodness you're real and not pretending to be someone you aren't! I will be watching you every week. You are AMAZING!!

Your beauty, grace,...and total "look" reminds me of the supermodel greats of the 70's and 80's....janice dickenson...gia...esme...cindy crawford...christy turlington...linda evangelista...they had more than just a "pretty face"...they were captivating..unique...and magical in front of the camera....you have these same special qualities...you do not shine...you spark!!!...even your name "Salome" has a supermodel ring to it!...I know we will see you on the cover of Vogue one day! ....what ever happens do not give up...you will go far!

Salome, I think you will be in the top 2 of the season! I think you are this season's Holly -- the gorgeous girl raised innocently on a farm, but with an innate sense of modeling and the perfect look. More power to you!

Do well and learn everything they teach you and kick ass! I think you can WIN this thing if you want it as much as Holly did!

Good luck! BTW, your makeup and hair on your aerial photoshoot was awesome: great look -- keep that if you can!

I once knew a mennonite girl-the city and its darkness/noise/smells/speed/dirt-may be a bit over whelming-if so, try going to a park and seeing a little green or some trees, where it is quieter, so you will not forget where you come from-and how to connect to it
when the "bubble" you live in becomes too much-you are not used to living with that many people-and I don't doubt
you will make more mistakes in speaking out-knowing your background, it's called truthfulness, but in the city, it is known as lack of tact-it's not your fault, its the way you were brought up and it's not a bad thing-just think like that on the inside, that's all-

Your gorgeous, have bambi eyes and fair skin and legs that go up to god-you have a chance to make it-go for it!

I am a big fan of yours!

As I am currently a mennonite, I find this interesting as well. Especially the fact that I know both Amanda and Lalla. I agree with Kelly. Don't forget where you came from. It really isn't that much of a nun-like existence to be Mennonite. In fact, my dad has tv, but then again, he isn't the general, run-of-the-mill mennonite either. anyways... just thought it was interesting that I know 2 of your sisters! :)

Living in a small Holdeman Mennonite community myself. I understand the culture shock Salome must be going thru.
I happened to have done it backwards going from the outside in. Mennonite girls, for the most part, are all tall and thin. I wish you the best. You definately have your work cut out for you. You've got alot to learn just don't forget where you came from and who you are.
