Wow, i never knew she would mae it this far. I saw some parts when they were still more than 5 and she (Stephanie Retuya) did not really stand out. Maybe she has improved, i really hope she has. I do love this show because of the challenges they have every week- the crazy outfits and the drama. I hope the best one wins..

My wife has been following this up every week and I think she is very lucky to have reached the top three. Though she is not the best amongst them but I guess the judges of the show have seen something in her that decided to include her in the top 3. I think that is an honor already. She is a winner already since she was ale to outdo other contestant already despite her poor performances in her

Producer is a Filipino. he is the one saving her, her performance had been terrible. I still wish her the best though, she doesnt need to win the show, she just need to learn from her mistakes, and get out of her shell. I do think she will be a good model if she gets out of the shell but wnning wont help her on her career as sh ehave a bad performance reputation o the show. all the winners who have bad performance in ANTM had terrible modelling careers.
think ts better for her to lose then use the experience to be a better model. In the season 3 of America's next top model there is a girl who performs terribly but became a good model after the show. winning will give her a stigma that will destroy her career.

Well that could be a factor there for her being in the top 3. Her attitude might improve in the coming days but that is up to her already. As for me there is much worse performance in others as well but I also think that there are far more better candidates that were eliminated for some unknown reasons and she outpaced them. But that is the judges decision and I think we should just respect that. If it is because there is a Filipino producer backing her up then so be it.

That Filipino is actually Tyra's partner for creating the "America's next top model"
There are 2 Eurasian Pinays in America's next top model before but he never helped them though and he forced them to pass as white. this time though, there is no Tyra and he have all the powers. After Helena is gone, she Steph is the most hated contestant now. That's why i want her to lose, to kill the stigma.if she wins while being hated, it will hurt her career. Runner up is the best place she must have.
ANother reason why I want her 2 win, there s a rumored "America's next top model:Asian Invasion" its a competition where Asia's next top model girls who didn't win will compete against American girls.
In "America's next top model British Invasion" a girl who lost Britain's next top model wins it over an American girl. I want Steph to be on that edition, her chances will be there will be ruined if she wins.

she is actually terrible model and have the worst performance through out the whole show, Being Filipino is not enough reason to support a person, she had been in the bottom 6 times, which means for 12 episodes, she have the most worst pictures. the only reason she is still in the show is the fact Michael Carandang, the producer of the show is Filipino.
One more thing, she is in the bottom 2, 5 episodes in a row. also she never won a challenge, she performed terribly in them. i rather see her lose, improve her modelling skills , make a comeback and be successful than be a winner who will be so hated she wont be able to book jobs as a model.
Poor performing models who won America's next top model have terrible career, Losing will be beneficial for her actually. as she can start a modelling career without a stigma againts her.

base on what i see, she have a hard time focusing because she misses her husband and son, yes she is married,. its hard for her to focus when she misses her family.

I haven't watched any episode of Asia's Next Top MOdel... i thought the Filipina representative got eliminated early... but it is nice to know that she made it to the top 3... that means she could actually win... i might watch the catch up weekend when they finally air it on Star World...

she have the most appearance in bottom 2 in the whole history of the top model franchise.....
Also there is something fishy on why she is still in the show. 3 of her appearance in bottom 2 is none elimination.

she is in the bottom 2 for 6 times. Imagine all the controversies if she wins. she also never had a number 1 photo throughout the season. Which means for half of the season she have the worst pictures. I do like her as every girls in the house loves her as she is very nice but the contest is not titled Asia's next top best friend. I am just a fair person who is not biased. The only reason she is not voted off yet, Michael Carandang, the producer of America's next top model is Filipino.
The girl with the best Portfolio should be the one to win because its for the sake of the show's integrity.

sadly she is not good, and it will be unfair if she won because she is in the bottom two in for 5 episodes. she is like the queen of bottom 2, she is also not a good commercial model, she is not able to talk. I am not biased, just because she is Filipino it doesnt mean I have to support her. I want her to have a successful career after the show but I dont want her to win because she is not ready and she will encounter a lot of critism and hate if she does as there are girls better than her. It will be better for her to lose then try to improve her skills post show. she is kinda stiff n the photoshoots and she is very shy and insecure. she needs to come out of her shell.
There is a rumor that n a future season of there is going to be "America's next top model Asian invasion" Its a season where favorites of Asia's next top model will compete againts the American girls.
look, the losers of Britain's next top model competed in "America's next top model British invasion" and a British girl win.
Winners are not allowed to compete in "asian invasion" so losing will be good for her. her modelling might have improved by then,
