MONDO EXTRAS

When we return, Tyra tells us that it takes more than a nice body and high cheekbones to make it as a top model. In fact, it takes courage. Yes, let's all salute the heroes that dare to parade around in skimpy outfits that show their what's-its and snort cocaine from one another's' buttocks. They are the true moral fabric of our nation. Sometimes Tyra kills me. Anyway, it's the personal tragedy slash "Thank you, Saint Tyra" montage. Clips of Eva and Toccara being redressed for their nasty attitude and crying, respectively, lead us in. Tyra voices over her standard bullshit about having to be beautiful from the inside out, and notes that some girls had to do a lot of soul-searching. We see Eva at her Season 3 audition. She denies being rude and nasty and trying to hurt people's feelings. But Tyra says that Eva, in fact, does want to hurt the feelings of others because her feelings have been hurt. Present-day Eva says that Tyra has a way of talking to you and breaking you down very quickly. Season 3 Eva starts crying, and if you want to know exactly how it all went down, you can read it here. Present-day Eva says that she was in a scary situation and wanted to be assertive, but was maybe a little too aggressive. But then Tyra broke her down and everything "fell into place." Note to all future Top Model contestants: just let Tyra have her way with you and pretend to believe her bullshit and you will win.
