    i kinda liked her body and brain...but she spit the product (i'll never forget that) hide show

    i loved her body (she had such a body c'mon i wish i had those legs or arms)...she was really a dancer and i guess that kinda was her weak side
    but i gave her the "spoiled brat" because of the whole spitting the umbeoshi...i mean she did it in front of the judges (one of them was japanase....i mean come on man...)
    and then in the jumping photoshoot..like she didnt do a dancer type cause the judges said she shouldnt look dancery...like she took it so far!!!!! she shouldnt have looked to dancery not a lot...and then she became jealous when amanda did better than her and started jumping and doing dancer poses...kinda immature dont you think?

    She is the true beauty and brain. hide show

    Yaya Da Costa Johnson is a well groomed contestant of the well known tv show America's Next Top Model (ANTM).Most people said that she was robbed oh her tittle which she lost to Miss Eva Pigford.This woman's beauty doesn't just stands skin deep but in inside out.Yaya has prove you don't need to win to be a true winner and most importantly not letting anyone sand in the way of prosperity.
