penultimate episode of America's Next Top Model's eighth season, as the four remaining runway wannabes were forced to evaluate each other at the judges' panel following a challenge and photo shoot

judging panel is dead wrong in eliminating Brittany because five Australian designers did not like her personality.  Personality is something that can be changed.  Having a natural ability to

interview is when the person will not shut up and "Type #2" is when the person says nothing and you have to pull teeth to get a conversation going.  Well, Jael surprised the heck out of me.  Guess
