America's Next Top Model 4

Wow! what in god's name was that? every girl had a sob story. i guess they saw how much drama Amanda's "blind story" brought so they decided to stack the deck. One was in a gang, another is a wrestler, one couldn’t feed her child, another girl’s father broke his back, some other chick has endometriosis. Everybody has their story, I guess they stopped looking for actual models a couple seasons ago. I didn’t see the gay angle, probably cause they did that last season. But you never know a lot of girls got topless, one of them has got to be a sista. Any guess on which one?

I don't know if we can count last season as having any lesbic angle. Yeah, there were the comments about Ann and Eve, but who knows what really went on? In Season One, there was actually an out lesbian, but hasn't been one (or out bisexual) since then. Maybe it's time for another one?

I missed it on Wed, but will watch the rebroadcast tonight.

yes, and amanda is also bi (didn't say so on the show, but in a profile on myspace or whatever). and then there was the good old triangle of ann, eva, and norelle.

this season, i think naima, michelle, sarah, and lluvy could all be gay/bi. maybe michelle's big secret tonight will be that she's a DYKE. or that she's a man. haha.

i like kahlen (she reminds me of chloe sevigny), sarah, and naima. hott stuff. this season should be great!

Hmm, after reading the number of "please PM me" requests, why don't you (that is, whoever knows it) please post the link here in the thread? It's not going to be a "secret" anyway if everyone has it via PM, and public websites like My Space are fair game for public consumption anyway. Besides, if she made a My Space account in the first place then she's not exactly hiding her "secret", is she?

Just a thought.

Ann, Eva, and Norelle never confirmed anything so I don't think that counts. In fact, Ann played the boyfriend card and straight up denied being gay (did anyone even ask Eva and Norelle?).

Hah, Michelle did come out in today's ep. I was a little annoyed. Were the dramatics REALLY necessary? Especially with an out lesbian in the first season/cycle (and the 3rd cycle being all about lesbain subtext, lol).

Niama's still my play girlfriend for this season. I think she's so cute.

Kahlen also has Rebecca in her friendslist who in turn has Lluvvy on her friend list who in turn has Ann & Norelle from the past series, so I'd say it's her 8O

It WAS dramatic, but of course that's how it goes with reality tv. Of course they had to build up suspense with Michelle's "big secret" and with Rebecca's collapse. But I'm glad her coming out was handled in a mostly positive manner... it was portrayed to be a healthy step for Michelle, and all the girls she told were supportive. I'm also glad she took a good photo and wasn't eliminated! (although I was disappointed to see Sarah go). I hope Michelle sticks around for awhile.

[quote:32cdabe6a8="desertsky"]I hope Michelle sticks around for awhile.[/quote:32cdabe6a8]

I hope so too! It's nice to have someone on the show out and representing! :D

I thought it was funny how when Michelle told Brandy and Tiffany she was bi, Brandy said something like, "I'm gonna need to tell you that I've had fantasies about other women" and then Tiffany said, "Who? Me?" I like Tiffany this season. She really seems to have cleaned up her act. I hope she does well.

I definitely hope Naima wins it though. She is too hot! I still think there is a possibility that she could be bi or gay also. There could be two queer girls in one season!

This season looks like it's off to plenty of drama, but nothing in my mind can compete with the lesbian subtext of Ann, Norelle, and Eva in Season 3. That is unless something other than subtext is shown on this season! :wink:

WHAT??!!! Oh MY GOD did i see wrongly?? Sarah is gone??!! OMG No~~~~~!!
Maaannn i shouldnt have come into this thread if i dont want spoilers. *sigh*
I still havent been able to watch the latest episode yet.

Sarah was so cute in episode one.... *sob sob*.....

rhondaweasley's picture

I'm glad there's a girl out on the show, and the reactions were cool and all. And Michelle seemed better for coming out with it. I just rolled my eyes at all the unnecessary drama. It was just a little much for me.

[quote:419256fce6="desertsky"](although I was disappointed to see Sarah go).[/quote:419256fce6]

:( I was sad to see my hometown girl go home, but I had this feeling Sarah was gone. Especially when it came down to her and the Janice Dickenson look alike. They kept crtisizing her walk and all. I guess they'll stop airing those 'Will Sarah be America's next top model' commercials on local TV.

michelle's picture

America's Next Top Model 4

I'm confused... I wasn't really paying close attention. Did she come out as gay or bi? First Michelle says she's gay, then I heard one of the girls saying she has no problem with bisexuality, and then it showed Michelle being asked if she was gay again, and she said yes. Was it just not made clear?

Sarah Warn's picture

FYI Since michelle officially came out on the show, I've moved this thread to the "All other TV shows with lesbian/bi characters" section.

JBLuver's picture

America's Next Top Model 4

It's great that she came out and now that she's gotten that off her chest I hope she can be a little less crazy. I especially liked the fact that Brittany (?) and Tiffany were instantly accepting of her. I know how there were trying to portray those two girls and I'm glad that they rose above it. BTW Michelle doesn't look that great in reality but she takes awesome photos.

As for Rebecca, I wanted to like her cause she looks like Hilary Burton and Hilary's cool, but she blows. and she takes a lame photo.

Naima is my favorite. I like my girls spunky.

I hate these shows where women compete
because they always emphasis the fighting
and not the loving if you know what I mean...
they think the audience rather see them fight
than show some tender moments.....

although the ist season had the Adrienne and Ellyse
flirting it up
and then the 2nd season had the 'lesbian photoshoot',
let's hope for something this year too

America's Next Top Model 4

When I got to re-watch top model on Friday, Michelle's scenes didn't get on my nerves as much and as I was doing more listening that watching the first time, I didn't notice Brandy and Noelle in that scene. It was funny cause my mom (who usually doesn't like joking about this stuff at all) was watching with me. So Michelle's laying there having her whole coming out talk and my mom's like 'What are they doing?' and I notice Brandy's like stroking Noelle's hair while Michelle's talking about kissing a girl or whatever, then she sort of lays on Noelle's shoulder and Noelle kind of embraces her head. I know straight girls can be affectionate with each other, but considering the conversation of the moment it just sent out a vibe that both me and my mom caught onto. It was just fun to be entertained by that moment with my mom.

Hmm, maybe it's starting not to bother her as much and I can actually talk to her at some point in the near future.

Tiffany heard 'bi' and translated it to 'gay'. When she and Brandy came in, Tiffany was like 'Are you gay?' to Michelle and Noelle said 'She's bi, she's bi'. But I guess Tiffany was using 'gay' as a blanket term, so Michelle said 'yes' to her question. She obviously used the term 'Bi' when she came out to Noelle, because that's the term Noelle used during there conversation.

Partee227's picture

Do you think Michelle will come out to the rest of the models or just keep it between herself, Noelle, Brandy, and Tiffany?

I think it would be cool if she told a few more people just to see what their reactions are.

At the end of the scene, it went something like this:
TIFFANY: are you okay?
MICHELLE: yeah (or a nod, or something)
T: You're gay?
M: (laughed and nodded)

So in that last question, I thought Tiffany's "you're gay?" was a play on words--Michelle said she was okay, so Tiffany suggested she was gay as in happy, and that's why Michelle agreed, and laughed at it.

The new series has just started here in Oz & I actully think this series shows promise. There is a whole group of interesting girls-& more who seem les or bi than in the last group I think. And is it me,but the chick who just came out as bi reminds me of a more gangly kind of Clea DuVall :?

I think this new season is cool. There doesnt really seem to be any fight,
except for ONE irritating Brandy and she's FINALLY gone!! Hooray!!

So if you watch the insider video on UPN, you'll see that all the girls in the house get along well, and are having fun.
And Kahlen is always so hilarious in the videos! I like her so much!! And it seems like every girl in the house likes her too!! Yeah, so cool! :D 8)

Who else do you think might be bi or les in this season? I was thinking Naima might be (or I hope she is! :D), but she hasn't talked about any relationships she's had, straight or gay, so I don't know.
