wow Tyra! So much for uplifting young girls.Why were you exploting young girls and the H&M scene! PATHETIC!

You know what really dissapoints me?.Tyra said she was happy about her 161 pound body and and she like "kiss my fat a##" and then she lost 30 pounds after a few months?what messages is that?

I thought she said she was happy? SHE REALLY CONFUSES ME:(

kara

a role model?

Are you people serious? Local Celebrities? You sound like 12 year olds.. In all honesty, these girls are not only immature, they are also overly tan and dumb enough to continue obsessing over a guy that obviously enjoys playing them both. I also hope that you all realize that not only are other people laughing at the fact these two girls put themselves in a window and solicited their bodies to passing men, women, and families, but also that you all actually put these two girls on a pedestal that they don't deserve to be on. Please stop calling people pathetic just because they don't agree that these girls are heaven sent. Get real, there is life out of your own little worlds. No one will remember who they are in a weeks time.

I posted a comment earlier, and I would just liek to add. i have heard from some people in my class that she ahs been talking about me.. how do i fix it.. oh answer the ? above, thanks.. Love
Amanda again.

Hi Tyra,
I would just like to say, I really enjoy watching your show it gives great fashion tips, and I found the frememies show most helpful.I have a situation similar to it, I'm a freshman in Wi.I had this BEST FRIEND that was soo great, at first not os much, she acted differently with different people(I liked her a LOT better when she was with me not with her other friend.)It was great, we could talk about the important things, God, relationships, where we want ot be in x amount of years, and of course boys SHE CHOSE HIM.It hurts,I have made an effort to fix the problem by emailing her just wanting to fix it,asking her questions about what happened.I never got replys.My sister was then talking to her,and she said, in the beginning she lost sleep over it, but now, she doesn't loose any sleep. It hurts because I'm still in pain and it apparently doesn't affect her like it does me.ok, well this is lond enough.What do I do?Any advice at all would be GREATLY appreciated.Thanks agian for at least reading this...so please respond...with great gratitude,
Amanda

HEY TYRA!! I love ur show is so WOW!! I love the typs there great!! i USE to have a Frenamie like in 8th grade but thankfully she goes to sum otha skoo!! SHE STARTED tellin the Guy i liked that i like him n that i was talkin mess about him n started tellin ppl i was bi and supposely she was keepin it a secret! And she still had the nerve to try n talk to me like nothin was wrong!! WELL LOVE UR SHOW N THANKS FOR THE TYPS

ALWAYS LOVE EFRAIN!! A.K.A CHiiRii0$

Hey Tyra,
I love your show! I am glad you have those tips! I have a friend like that who calls me up and says she wants to hang out, talks to me about personal stuff and goes to rat everything out to the guys i used to hang out with just so they can all have a laugh! So, i changed tutorial groups to get out of their way because i am in med school i have bigger things to worry about but thats just making them talk more. Anyway, i might try that. I dont like getting bitchy towards her but thats the path i am going and its not like me so i want to stop it before it becomes me. Isnt this supposed to stop after high school?

Hi Tyra,I like the decision you made at the and of the show to let them know that we don't need to tell them who's the best and who's not.And that idea was in my head when I saw them on the blue dresses as that picture.Those girls are totaly different and that's what they don't know,but I think anyone who watch the show and listen to them can do the same remark.I'm not going to say name but to me one is sweet and the other selfish.They need to sit down and work on their communication.last but not least they know themself better than anybody else so I don't think we need to tell them who they are and how they are.
I'm very proud of you tyra and I love you so much.
sisi.

u guys are all crazy..i know and think that kristen and nicole are the prettiest girls in nj and i know that they are nice and friendly and are local celebs and are well liked..you people need to realize its a show and its not all cracked up wut it seems to be..so stop being so pathetic

First I would like to say that giving Nicoles myspace totally did NOT benefit her on the contrary it is an embarrassment. Read her blog entitled "Johnny" and than take notice to the pictures of the two all over her page! I know for a fact and she knows for a fact that Johnny S. has played Nicole several times. The show should have been titled "Stupid girls that can't let go of cheating guys" It's a shame that John got between this friendship b/c he is so NOT worth the time ladies!

I know both of these girls, and this show did not do them justice. They are both beautiful girls!! I'm alittle disappointed on how they made them look on TV. And if you want to talk about catty- alot of these comments are CATTY. Check them out on myspace:
www.myspace.com/slammindola (Nicole) and you'll find Kristen as "Italian Dime" in her top friends.

Ok, for the record: I found Nicole prettier and more likeable all-around. And if you look at the picture above, they're clearly about the same weight, which means.. if Kristen were shorter, she'd probably look bigger.

I followed my intuition.. and looking into both of their eyes, Kristen seems to be dealing with anger and bitterness... Nicole seems to be dealing with bitterness and GUILT. Nicole's probably now a little guilty over what happened with the guy. And not only that, she assessed the friendship differently to start with. She didn't think they were that close, she know is aware that Kristen thought they were better friends than what they were. So there's more awkwardness for Nicole to deal with.

Kristen's body language is coming at you full-force, almost borderline aggressive... Nicole's body language sort of coils and is stiff.

They're BOTH insecure. And catty.... but my personal instinct says that Nicole would not have gotten caught up in all the frenemy competition if Kristen wasn't game for it. It's my feeling just by looking into their eyes, and the vibe they each give off, that... this all sort of originated with Kristen... because of what Nicole did. (And I don't believe meant to do... again, she didn't think they were that close. Kristen did.)

Tyra,
I loved that you had Salt n Pepa on the show,there awesome! Now I am wondering why you let those two tramps on the show?? It is really sad they needed to shake there asses to get guys to say they are cute. PATHETIC!

kristin was ok but the other girl needs to loose a couple pounds and get braces before she can go around thinking she can compete with any girl. and the boy they are fighting over is a pizza face. by the way this whole frenemy thing is pathetic and a complete joke. friends arent supposed to be in competition with each other they are enemies. these girls have too much time on their hands!! they should go look for some real friends!
love you tyra banks.

Hi Tyra:

I really loved the way you ended this show. people in competition like that can never be friends and friendship is far more important then who they think is better. Great Show!

I loved seeing salt & pepper. I did enjoyed there stuff when it was popular. You always have great shows Tyra, your the best.

Love Always Steve

Hi, this is Nicole and I was on the show. After reading through the above comments, I would just like to say that I am not shallow or insecure nor did I go on Tyra Banks trying to show my best friend up. It was all fun and games...we weren't being totally serious!! Everyone needs to lighten up... the moral of the show was to teach other girls not to be competitve and to value friendship!!

P.S - I love Kristen and I love Tyra! ...... but I don't love the camera, it def adds an easy 10lbs!!

Hey Tyra!! Love your show as always. I enjoy watching it because it relates to young girls like me. It actually inspires me alot. Well, this "frenemies" episode was one I've been longing to see because I've had a similar experience. Now, I had my best friend, we get along. We're really cool with each other. I don't know about her but I always felt like I had to one up her on something. I couldn't stand being second best. What could I say? I was only 13-14 years old at the time. Although, I tried to do it my style instead of copying hers. But now I realize we're two different people and stuff like that doesn't count in a big world such as this. This episode enforeced that. I hope we can all be friends.

Love, Diana

Ms.Tyra,

Let me start by saying I admire you for all the work that you do with young girls and for the way that you are constantly promoting sisterhood and unity amongst women. So, imagine my surprise when I turned your show own today and so those young ladies competing against each other. I was surprised that you would even provide them with a stage and an outlet to insult each other and put one another down. I thought that you, Ms. Tyra, of all people would never allow such a display of typical female behavior to take place in your presence. I admire you for so many reasons. You're articulate, intelligent, caring, and humble. All of those things while being incredibly beautiful. So how, Ms. Tyra, could you let those young women stand in the window of H&M and allow people to judge who was cuter? How could you let them run around the streets of NY harrassing men to meet them at a club? These are the things that keep women in competition with each other on a regular basis and you have given it more attention by putting it on your show and making a game out of it. Although, I was slightly relieved that at the end of the "competition" you told the young women that they shouldn't be wasting their time competing against each other and that they should re-examine their relationship, I think it came a little too late. PLease continue your work uplifting women and young girls and remember that you are much more than a model to many of us. To so many women you are a beacon of hope. To the little girls who never felt pretty that grew up to be young women with self-esteem issues, you are the only thing keeping us from totally falling apart.

Stop exploting young girls. The scene at H&M was pathetic. So much for uplifting our young women Tyra

Stop exploiting young girls!!! The scene at H&M was pathetic. So much for uplifting our young girls.

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you for showing us what a toxic relationship/friendship looks like. I have many girls in my life that have attempted to be "frenemies" with me. Some enjoy trying to outdo me in a materialistic sense such as buying the same clothing items, handbags, and jewelry as me, while others try to outdo me in academics and education. We may laugh because of how ridiculous it all sounds and appears to be, but I can say that trying to claw your way to the top and while doing so you are stepping all over others is anything but a laughing matter.

The behavior of most frenemies is caused because they want to show up the next person in line; it's silly and a waste of time, but it's inevitable and everyone will encounter something like it in their lives. Sometimes girls like to feel like they are superior and better than the rest of the "group" that they've placed themselves in. Some may find this episode to be shallow and unrealistic, but it IS something that exists, it IS something that can easily take a gigantic toll on someones emotional and physical being. It will no doubt lower self esteem to be in constant competition with one another.

With that said, girls that are frenemies may be oblivious to it now, but soon they will see that they are totally submerging themselves in ugliness. In the end, where will it truly get you to have more things than your frenemy, to have her ex boyfriend, and to have it engraved in your mind that you are better? There will always be someone else trying to show you up. The temporary satisfaction that you are receiving by thinking you are better than someone will only fade into nothing in the end.

Hey Tyra!

Well, my friend's sister, Kristen is on the show today, and can I just say that Kristen is not a tramp, 'kay thanks! She and Nicole are very nice, and I know them in real life and i'm not judging them off the show. TYRA, YOU'RE THE BEST!

Love.
Michaela =]

So, I am actually watching the show right now. Eek I totally had to take a break form writing my essay for class to blog about the girls that were on you show today... Eew first of all. I would never hang out with anyone who dissed me like that. I like to have friends around me that make me feel good with who I am, not make me feel that I have to compete to get some sort of satisfactory approval by them. Bump that! (ps the rock photo issue is jsut on, you know that kristin was hella copying that photo. ! and besides I like the other girl better, she dosent have to try as hard.. betch eew and here we go with the window competition kristin looked like a tramp) Okay so I hung out with my neighbor and this new girl from work and her friend one night and as soon as we got to the club it was like claws are out and the game was on. Talkng about "Matt who's prettier?" Girl, after five minutes I was like let's go. I hate that sort of crap.......grrrrrrrrrrrr. Alright Im abotu to be out I HAVE to finish my homework BLAH love ya Tyra!

I dont actually have a comment on this one but I couldnt find the episode where Lizzie and Emily Post discussed manners and etiquitte. I wanted to comment on the part of the show where the African American couple was featured. I was absolutely disgusted with the manner that woman displayed. I can see why her husband was embarassed and always just took "six steps back" when she started on her rants. The part that especially upset me is how she would treat customer service in a restraunt. I like many other work in a restraunt setting and deal with people like this every day. While many of times it comes from both black and white people, it is unfortunately the black people who bear the most weight of the stereotype. I work with many other black people and even they agree when a black person comes into the restraunt, no one wants to serve them because they are most certain they will be a difficult customer. It is sad that this is the stereyotype but it is true. The woman on this episode of the tyra show displayed the exact kind of customer (black or white) that no server wants to or deserves to deal with. I just wanted to address this since it was clear on the show that the woman was unconvinced in changing her ways. Maybe Tyra should put on a show about this racial stereotype in restraunts because it affects all races and just think about how many of her viewers are waiters and waitresses!! It applies to so many people.

i am very disappointed in your show today. who is cuter? are you freakin kidding me? i normally love your show because you touch on deep, important issues pertaining to women. your normal fun stuff about make up and fashion is always fun to watch. but these two girls competing over who can be more shallow and annoying? this is ridiculous. if any of my friends behaved that way i would just laugh at them. those girls are a joke. also, they are not friends if they talk negativly about each other and try to tear the other one down. they just enjoy the competition, so thats why they continue to spend time together. you shouldnt slaughter the meaning of the word friend by using it to describe those two.

Hi Tyra.
Watching your show today just reminded me of these 2 girls I hang out with. They're FRENEMIES in the whole sense of the word. Well, they're both godmoms to each other's kids and both their husbands can afford to buy them "nicer" stuffs, e.g., not just clothes from Target or Walmart. One is actually cuter but as one of my husband's friends said..."dumb as a rock" and the other one is just average. But the cuter one is such a gossip, she gossiped about this other lady to everybody she knows. And then the other one got to know about it and so the never-ending back-stabbing and gossiping went on. They're both obssessed with each other's "destruction" I guess. And all they were arguing or jealous about are stupid, trivial stuff like who's got the more expensive jewelries, cameras, clothes, etc...

Exactly just like those two very shallow women on your show. They have no depth. These two women I know aren't very intellectual, won't even listen to news or doesn't read much or just not aware of the more important facts and problems outside their stupid lives. And I believe women like these are just really, really insecure.

We're all from the same country and we're not that many here in this area where I reside so I was hoping we'll all just get along. (Oh, but now they're talking again 'coz I made them).

Anyway, I agree with Vanessa who posted a comment too. I also came from a family with more boys that's why maybe I took up a man-dominated degree in College (Civil Engineering) and I never had a problem dealing with men. Most of my friends are men and I love it. (I'm not lesbian... and there's nothing wrong with that too). They don't have these stupid competition, jealousy thing...(maybe with other men). And they don't have this catty, back-stabbing fights that women always do. I hate to say this about women but a lot of them are really pretty shallow and insecure and could never be happy about somebody else's happiness. And that's really sad.

But I'm still very grateful for the very few close female friends I got 'coz all of them never showed me any stupidity of this kind. Well, these ladies and myself are more in touch of our masculinity so maybe that's why. And we're all content of what we have and don't have.

Hi Tyra, I live in Durban S.A. and often enjoy your show but find the taking of the Lords Name so (oh my God) casually VERY difficult to listen to,is there nothing you can do about this please.
