  1. I like spontaneity but there's something super stressful about telling someone they're going to another country and they have to be packed and ready in an hour. Personally, I would be fine with that sort of notice if we were going to another city/state because I don't think that much preparation is needed, but a foreign country is a different story. If they'd been told in the morning and had the whole day to prepare I wouldn't have had a problem with that. I don't know why that little part bothered me so much.

  2. Speculation that someone has an ED just because they go to the bathroom after dinner really pisses me off as an introverted person. I frequently do the same, only because I desperately need privacy and personal space after being forced to socialize over a loud, crowded dinner table for several hours. And the bathroom is the only place you can go and be by yourself at a restaurant or dinner party. I’ve had more extroverted friends and family speculate and try to do ED interventions, only to get personally offended when I told them the real reason I went to hide in the bathroom.

  3. I honestly don't see how deathly thin models is a "back then" issue; where is the evidence that has changed? I don't think that the broader body positivity movement has moved the needle at all in fashion or beauty standards, aside from token gestures. Yeah, we had a moment where asses were in but no one was allowed to have any abdominal fat to balance it out; if anything it was a less attainable standard than twiggy thinness. And now apparently millennial beauty standards are back, which is just….swell.

  4. Yoanna smoked cigarettes after dinner. She smoked constantly to lower her appetite. She talked about it after the show often. They were so mean about her body just because. So many models died during this time, the criticism over weight was a huge problem.

  5. That whole being too big at a size 2 really bothers me. My daughter ended up developing an ED because the kids at school were telling her she was fat. She's not, nowhere close to it. She's 5' 9" and in a size 0-2 depending on where the clothes come from. She also has a very large chest. She ended up stopping eating and got down to 105 from 137. She's doing much better now after years of counseling. I hate seeing people treated this way.

  6. Honestly the whole Eating Disorder thing with Yoanna was so bizarre to watch. I’ve had an ongoing ED since I was a child, I still struggle with it now, and I’ve also had many friends that have struggled with EDs too.

    I had a friend who would always leave after lunch at school, to go to the bathroom. We spoke to her about it, but we didn’t do it in a harsh way like how they did in ANTM. I feel like the modelling industry has definitely promoted being underweight and unhealthy for a very long time. It’s so toxic to see. It’s shows like this that I was exposed to when I was a child that forced me to believe that I need to be thin in order to feel beautiful.

    It’s changing now but it still needs a lot of work, and I wish it was never even a thing in the first place.

    Anyways, I loved this video and you look beautiful as always! 🖤

  7. Alrighty, I have a lot of Thoughts about this one! For some background: starting at 15 and through to my mid-twenties I had a restrictive eating disorder. I went through several cycles of actively starving myself and well, not eating healthily for sure but not extremely restricting and intentionally trying to lose weight. At one point I had lost around 60 lbs and literally could not visually perceive a difference in my body despite knowing what the scale said and being able to feel my bony prominences jut out more.

    First thing I want to say is that one of the major ED symptoms is denial of the severity of the problem and the health risks associated with the behaviors. Anyone out there reading this: even if you don’t think you have a “legitimate” eating disorder but you strongly with body image, obsessing over food and/or weight, and engage in any level of disordered eating, please, please, please seek help. You don’t have to be severely underweight, or even underweight at all for these behaviors to kill you. You deserve help, your issues are worthy of treatment, and I promise you, losing weight won’t make you happy.

    As for the way this episode dealt with Yoanna, this was pretty freaking egregious on so many levels. I absolutely agree that the “you’re too big” comment almost certainly came from the fake go-see. I also wouldn’t be surprised if production led Camille into insinuating Yoanna has an ED 1) for the tv drama and 2) so they could show Tyra expressing concern to basically do preemptive PR damage control over how horribly they hurt Yoanna in the go-see with their body-shaming.

    And you’re absolutely correct in that if folks legitimately were concerned about Yoanna, “keep an eye on her” is nowhere near enough. Eating disorders have a 40% fatality rate, the greatest of any psychiatric diagnoses. Wait-and-see all too often means long-term organ damage or death, aside from the lasting psychological effects. I haven’t actively starved myself in over six years, but there isn’t a single day or a single meal where I don’t have to actively combat the ED narratives in my head. I cannot emphasize this enough: eating disorders kill people and need to be treated as the life-or-death disorders that they are. Someone with an eating disorder can look just like anyone else and seem totally fine, go to bed, and die of heart failure in their sleep.

    The way these shows talked about body shape and size were absolutely heinous, and the way they treated eating disorders as a plot line and some kind of character flaw to insult your competition with accusations of… Is it any wonder so many of us grew up to have horrendous relationships with food and weight? Please take care of yourselves out there, and remember you deserve care for food and body issues that harm you no matter how “insignificant” you tell yourself they are. 💜

    Edit: Oops, I called Yoanna Yolanda this how comment.

  8. I love Camilles walk though and now need to google if that walk did become her trademark. She looked very classic in the best way possible. It made her look so tall too. Which is great for a model.

  9. I used to hate "fake it till you make it", mostly because I prize how genuine and authentic I am, but I definitely have seen this work for confidence. Eg. Job interviews. Make your posture confident even if you don't feel that way. Thank me later lol.

  10. I would always say if you have concerns you should raise them, but all the factors around environment, venue, tone etc become even more important.
    I would definitely say discussing around a meal would be inappropriate. It may feel right to you because you can’t ignore it, but I wouldn’t expect them to hear your concerns as they are intended.

  11. The 2000s were a horrible time to be a young woman or a teenager. Plastic surgery, and being a size 0 was normal. I watched my friends be that thin and my mom always made me feel large, because I wasn’t sooo skinny like she was in the 80s.

    A size 6-10 was fat. And it still is. Janice was mean in the first few seasons throwing out hurtful and damaging no -productive criticism. she called Robin fat, she calls Yoanna fat, she attacks peoples personality.

    It taught us that our bodies are our value, our looks, and our boundaries are for other people to disrespect.

    ANTM was awful for telling us things about ourselves, and that we should let people walk all over us and disrespect us and we’re not allowed to tell people no and stand up for ourselves. That if we are not thin, blonde and blue eyed and tall, we werent beautiful.
