the fact that this challenge was so fashion/style oriented didn't help either, given her questionable taste level.
Yah. It's too bad that the show rewards Tyra so highly for her runway presentation, because even though she's really young she's obviously got money, or more likely, someone with money helping her out. Not many 21-year olds can afford those kinds of clothes and wigs (and Tati obviously can't; I think it sucks that that worked against her). The way the show is judged does end up giving a real advantage to the more economically privileged among them. Jade from season 1 made the same point in a BTS.
Tatianna is remarkably together, emotionally, for a 21-year old, and I give her credit for, as you said, not giving Raven the satisfaction (speaking of whom? Raven is 30 -- no matter how much she deludes herself that she looks 22 -- and way too old to be acting like a high-school bully!) She's funny sometimes though ("a crotch full of friends").
Agreed on Raven's crazy in Untucked. Ugh. I have to wonder how much of this Ru sees in advance because, yeah, Ru's philosophy is *all* about being nice. And given that Sonique was slammed so hard during the judging on episode 2 for making *one* snarky remark towards a guy on the street, it makes even less sense.
Jujubee is hilarious. Also, Tati deliberately threw the lipsync for her! Aww, sweet. Yeah, I think Jujubee was trying to make her cry at various points but they seemed to actually be friends.
