Fashion

I just want to say that I really think Maryam should’ve stayed in the competition and was really hoping she would have won. Not that the other girls don’t, but I believe Maryam had the most potential, best looks and ‘attitude’ for the industry. After seeing her go last night, I don’t even really wanna watch the rest of the show. I really, really want to see her go further now that she was dismissed and make it as the next ‘CoCo Rocha’ without Canada’s Next Top Model!!!

I think the judges made a HUGE mistakes cutting Maryam out of the competition. The other three girls have not shown any growth at all. Week after week they have shown us pretty faces and not much more, other than may be showing how typically immature and catty they can be. Maryam has had the least amount of experience and exposure but has shown the most growth. She had one problem: not having a passport that would have worked itself out by the time this competition was over any way. Any of the other girls faced by the challanges she has had to face would have broken up and given up. Instead she took every missed opprtunity and turned it around. She has brains and beauty: a fact that has been proven by her taking the lessons of one week and use in it to change and grow in the other. The worst insult was when Jay said theat a complicated life was harder to overcome than lack of confidence!! Where did he get his psychology degree? Maryam’s fortitude and back bone would help her overcome any thing, even lack of passport. I bet that our little blue eyed blond may find it harder to grow a back bone by next week!

Rock On Maryam: your grace, generousity and yes beauty will make you shine no matter what you decide to do.

I agree with the rest of the posters. Maryam was the best model AND person on the show this year. She was both a delight to watch and a good example for girls interested in fashion. She was understated and more mature than the rest (who I agree are incredibly ugly on the inside). I am also totally disinterested in the rest of the show. I only watched it because Maryam had that special quality that made her a joy to watch. Now it’s just a bunch of ignorant and idiotic girls running around in high heels. Bye Maryam, it was really wonderful to watch you on the show, and good luck with everything. You will rock anything you do!

maryam you were truly the best and i would only tune in the last few weeks because you seemed so genuine and the most natural model! you were really creative with the gecko shoot and i am really stunned by how rude nikita, linsay and meaghan were about you. its a shame that one of them will be the winner but i think you will go far into the modelling world if you wish, without CNTM! you can do it! let your grace, education, intelligence and natural beauty continue to shine! you are an inspiration

As lovely a girl as Maryam is, she is not ‘top model’ material. And really, she could not take direction if her life depended on it!

While you could say the other models treated her cruelly, in reality, they were just being FUNNY, and it made for entertaining television. Their impressions of Maryam were, you have to admit, spot-on.

“Don’t touch the toilet paper dresses, just don’t touch them!”.

“Wha?”

See? FUNNY.

s!

I think Maryam was and excellent model but she is not ready for this buisness yet. It is commen sense to have a passport wehn your a model plus she had alot of time to get it before the show, and after the first time she couldn’t go. Plus she ripped a dress! The lady stood there and told them do no touch the dress atleast 5 times, she told them you cannot sit, you cannot breathe in this dress. Even when there were 2 people helping Lydnsay put on the dress, she still went and ripped it. What I thought Nakita and Meghan did was not exceptable. I think that if Maryam was ready for this buisness she would’ve won hads down.

I was appalled by the behaviour of the two models in the “confession booth”—out of a sense of decency and respect that they refused to show for Maryam I will not mention them by name!!! I was ashamed to say that I am a Calgarian after that performance. I will say that I did not see the same out of Linsay. I personally think that it should have come down to Linsay (the girl from the reserve!!!) and Maryam (the girl new to Canada!!!)— the other two were a disappointment with their attitudes. I have read blogs criticizing the industry for portraying the idea that you have to be skinny—well maybe they should be less concerned with being twigs and learn some manners and respect, this image will not be accepted by Europeans. And I thought the industry had opened the doors for diversity in that it didn’t have to be a caucasian girl with blond hair? What happened there?

Exactly Darren, those are my thoughts too! Unfortunately there was an overwhelming air that she was not accepted. I read another article that said the same day she was eliminated was the day her passport came through. It also said that she already had one that expired. I know from personal experience with a citizenship card that even the smallest change can throw the department in Ottawa for a loop—to update my pic took them 6 months, whereas being Canadian through the citizenship card, the passport took only 2 weeks. I was born of Canadian parents while they were in the military stationed in Europe.

MARIAM WAS THE MOST GORGEOUSE EXOTIC BEAUTI’VE EVER SEEN!SHE TRULY REPRESENTED THE EAST AND AS SOMEBODY ARRIVING FROM A DIFFERENT CORNER OF THE WORLD WITH LITTLE LANGUAGE KNOWLEGE,SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB.SHE WAS SWEET,CARING AND HONEST AND DID NOT DESERVE THE ATTITUDE SHE GOT FROM THE 3 GIRLS.THEY MAKE ME SICK!LOVED YOU MARIAM

Yes, yes, yes. The top three girls were obviously put an envy to Maryam and they became freaked out about her. And that was how they did to won the game, by embarass themselves

yes!! yes!! yes!!
me too,,just watched this show in my country indonesia,,and I really love maryam,,she’s a sweet beautiful girl with a good manners..she has a very kind heart,,and,,meaghan,,linsay or nikita???duh!!they’re just bunch of stupid girls..

maryam is so nice i love her because shes so sincere.. can anyone please tell me what is her status right now? is she still into modelling? i hope she will be blessed with good things.. i wish i have known more people like her.. she is so nice

I just watched the re-run of CNTM Cycle 3 of Maryam’s elimination. I can’t imagine what are those girls thinking about Maryam? They were so mean to Maryam and they just blamed everything on her. I know that Maryam should face many problems during the show, but I think her determination was showing the REAL MODEL. Didn’t have a passport was a pretty big mistake, but she showed us how serious she was in that competition.

Besides that, Maryam still kept her culture in Canada. Maybe in Canada, looking the girls wear tank top or anything is usual. But, Maryam comes from different culture (similar to me, from the east or Asia) and she can struggle in the different culture. I think the three girls should understand why Maryam always wore closed top to bottom.

In my opinion, Linsay, Meaghan, and Nikita cannot do what Maryam does, but Maryam can DO what they do.

Her great attitude (helping anyone who needs help, cheered Meaghan up when she got terrible photo shoot, and many more!) really makes her the best model I ever known. Beauty, smart, and great attitude, those are the most wonderful package of a model, and I see it in Maryam’s personality.

I wish Maryam will be successful as a model after completing her study.
