Germany's next top model

Is that really Lena? It doesn't look much like her...

No, she's supposedly coming for the next installment of the shoot with Ballack

ooh, can I come to that one? I want to see Ballack.

How much is it worth to you??

is this now part of the english language as well? I can forgive the Germans for bastardising...or did I just just miss something... i SWEAR it is a photoshoot and NOT a photoshooting. But for some reason I'm hearing the latter more and more...

I never hear PHOTOshooting, only shooting on it's own or photoshoot.

photshooting ALL the time at work, but as i said, that's Germans, but the other day photoshooting popped up on CNN...

how much do you charge?

I was gonna make a smart-arsed comment about Germans and Americans, but that'd be way off topic.

Depends on what kind of service you're looking for

Woah, you're right. It is photoshoot and I said photoshooting. Maybe because "photoshooting" is one of the only two words Heidi uses on her show, the other being "unheimlich".

Hey Timmeh.. how can you know who the last 2 are when there are 3 left (boring, by the way) and the last episode is next week? Maybe they photographed the two losers.

Do you think they show it live? Plus all models in Germany are required to have an interview with Timmeh first.

Definitely not live, but why would they have a final two when there are 3 left and the winner is picked in the next episode?

i work at the company that makes the prog...but im sworn to secrecy...

I think they gave Jennifer the car because she's not going to win.

I like that all three made it to the last episode though, that way the losers can console each other.

Models are not known for being able to count really well.

I think so too. She looked great on the runway, I must admit.

I missed this last night - damn German class .

She pulled it together like she always does and looked great at the show but if that were a normal casting the designer would never have even given her the chance.

for SURE! her initial "runway" walk was so awkward it was embarassing to watch...i really don't think any of the 3 are runway material at all, i mean even comparing them to the girls that were at the casting...even heidi is not and never was much of a runway model, except for victoria's sectret.

Yes but the show is German, none of the German models look like runway models. They are way too focused on "pretty" here.

My company is involved in someway. In fact I think our photographer will be in one of the episodes

Don't worry.. they'll put it online soon enough: Top Model Videos

There's only one more episode and the sporty shots with Michael Ballack haven't come up yet so it must be in the next episode. Unless they decide to drag it out for a couple more months.

Maybe it didn't make the cut, irrespective Ballack wasn't shot at that shoot, it was Hargreaves & Lamm.

I think it would be fantastic if there was some sort of scandal that went on with Ballack, like he cheats on his wife with slutty Yvonne and then somehow gets kicked off the German national team for it, and then, as a result, the US wins the World Cup.

As if Germany would determine that

Dammit Timmeh!

Or maybe Ballack has a sex change and gets a wild card into the final and wins, but only because Olivia Kahn forget to shave for the shooting (photo or otherwise)

Agreed. The show doesn't have nearly enough scandal.

Maybe it'll turn out that Yvonne and Lena are lovers?

No sleep and now this picture in mz head. damn you!!

If anything it'd be Lena and Jennifer..

and, by the way, I have that handbag right there.

Which bag?

whaddya mean? That red one on the bed.

Nice arse. Whoever's it is, not that it matters.

aah the red one, not the one wearing the bikini.

sorry, couldn't resist

I said handbag, silly girl.

If the bird is a bag, then I know a way in which she can become a handbag

Lena is by far the most attractive one of the three. Yvonne's curled lip looks dreadful and she looks more slutty than good. Sorry to all you Yvonne fans but I bet you're nearly all male :-)

i am a gal and i think yvonne is much more interesting-looking than lena, and jennifer definately has more high-fashion in her than both of the others, even concidering how they looked on the podium last night. to me lena is so boring, although she does have good body her face is very "normal", as in just regular pretty, not top model material at all. she's like a C&A add, not Vogue, know what i mean? but hey, i am not a judge...

is michael ballack married?

..as of now..

I should have known that one of you would post the picture of Lena and Jennifer getting it on *err ahem* I mean hugging while Lena is straddling Jennifer IN HER BIKINI. Was this supposed to be a family show?

What a cop-out that they didn't kick anyone out yesterday. I think Jennifer is gone, def. I'm beginning to agree with the people who said that she has a weird-shaped abdomen.

Jennifer is out, fo sho. They gave her the car as a consolation prize. I thought it was crap that she got offered a spot in the runway show. Her "audition" was ridiculous and she never would have been given a second chance in the real fashion world. Heidi set it up to make them squirm but they were all going to get the job anyway to see how they do in a real runway show.

I thought it was hilarious that she won a car and she is not even old enough to drive it in Germany!

Also, did anyone notice last night that Jennifer's age switched to 17? Last week she was 16. Guess she had a birthday somewhere in there.

Last episode: Jennifer out, Lena wins the whole kit and caboodle, and Yvonne gets a contract with Victoria's Secret as their next angel.

And they all lived happily ever after.

That reminds me of the "casting" they had for MGM. Hiilllllarious. I thought it was great that none of them got it - they were horrible!! Shows you the state of English in Germany today, for reeaaaal.

just to reply to an earlier post, i thought they would all look completely out of place at the catwalk show they did, but when they walked out in the company of others they really fit in, despite lena being so stiff, but that was the collars fault...

Her age changed since last week. Apparently when they had a week off Jennifer turned 17 and Lena turned 18.

By the way can anybody believe that Bruce (the runway coach) is 58?

I thought he was 48 at least according to TV Total last night.

Bruce used to be my favourite but ever since I saw Armin crying when Janina left he's become totally sympatisch to me.

He's 48.. and walks like a laday

so, is anybody else watching this tonight?
I haven't watched any of them so far, but I'm a sucker for casting shows so I think I'll watch this.
I hope Jennifer wins, but I don't think she will...
