@ 14 I agree but the show where she showed us her without make up -wow she looked sooo diff she should of went all natural for this show too it would have sold her being homeless! Tyra without make up= Whew! chile! :[

“This looks like a shot from America’s Next Top Model or something. I’m sorry, but I can’t take Tyra seriously with these undercover things. Ever since she dressed up as a stripper, I’ve been like WTF?!”

I co-sign with you and others that says she tries to hard. It just doesn’t seem legit to me. She’s too rehearsed and dramatic and theatrical.

Black people are not lame. You’ll never use the word lame to describe a black person. You would use it to describe a person from any other background, but not black people. They can be CRAZY or ROCK BOTTOM but NEVER lame. However, TYRA is the LAMES black person I’ve never come to know. I live in Harlem, TYRA: YOU LAME!

Damn that bitch still looks good as a homeless person.

#51, #54 My sentiments exactly…..
Homeless with perfect skin an perfectly arched brows….

NIGGA PLEASE!!

tyra Is ok and her shows are always interesting. some of her shows always make me think about how i treat other people and should chill out sometimes.

First of all, everything she does she try to act all emotional and shit. Second, how about she expirement for more than a day, or a few hours, how about sleeping outside for a month or two, being fat for a month. Everything she does isn’t accurate because at the end of the day, it’s not real for her. Take some people that’s been living like that for years and years and tape them and give them a place to stay and food to eat as a payment,that’s doing something positive. She can fix people’s teeth and shit, try giving a person a home. She can help the people that already have, how about the ones that don’t. And don’t get me wrong, she is doing a semi good thing, but like i said, at the end of the day, when those camera’s go off, it’s over for her. She can go home in luxury.

Bravo Tyra! I don’t care if it’s for ratings or not. Any effort to shine a spotlight on this horrendous problem should bring kudos to any person who bring the effort.
This is a problem that all facets of society needs to take a stand to help. The governments can’t do it, the thieving churches only make a token effort.
I think it should be required that everyone visit the “Skid Row” in your hometown, at least once. I guarantee that that a good percentage of us would chip in to do something to help. And, believe me, it’s in everywhere.

SHE THE PRETTYEST HOMELESS PERSON I DON SEEN …..I BET THAT HOLLY JACKET COAST LIKE 200$. SHE CANT FOOL ME I KNOW. THAT SCARF COAST LIKE 50( MORE THAN I COULD AFFORD 4 A SCARF) WELL I THINK SHE IS SO PRETTY AND CAN MODEL IN ANYTHING

I completely agreee with you Boosy Lady….why are we giving her props for “acting” homeless! I’ve never been homeless, thank God, but I will never trivialize the situatation by summing it up in one day…and then editing into an hour show! I don’t give her any kind of props…maybe if she was doing it for a much longer period of time…and still then, what about severe situations like experiencing winter time in Chicago….Whatever Tyra…I’m not impressed!!!

yes those are tyra’s real eyes. black people always asking “is that her real hair??” or “are those her real eyes??” Black people are not all the same!!

So i think Tyra is corny but i still respect her show. she attacks serious issues, but for some reason i just cant her serious. ummm….i dont think she deals with the issues tastefully. im not comparing her to oprah, but oprah does talk about serious issues and it is tasteful and informative.

I will be impressed when she sleeps on the street for one night! Sitting on the corner and looking cute is one thing, but sleeping in the cold is another level!

Tyra is not going to be satisfied until her ass is homeless and out of a job for real! I can’t stand this fake front she puts on.

@ #86 Ebony87, totally in agreement with you. She does touch on SOME important issues, she just doesn’t know how to present them…It’s like she’s tryin to hard.

She far’s cry from being OPRAH…

Come on you people! What do you mean she needs to buy them a home and alladat crap! You obviously didn’t read the rest of the commentation. She personally donated money to this shelter and she prolly donated enough to buy a home for someone. Who cares if she was only homeless for a couple of hours? Let me see yall do it for 15 minutes. You can’t and you won’t. And yes, I’ve seen some beautiful homeless people. Homelessness doesn’t automatically make you ugly. She maybe a tad bit fake to some people about some things but at least she shedding light on some issues that people are not willing to acknowledge. She’s a risk taker. Shine on Tyra B.

I’m a frequent vistor of the Tyra show and I think that she need to keep up the good work and don’t worry about what the haters say,and to all the people who is saying she isn’t being up good issues in America she is do any of you catch the show where she do a survey on how other cultures see black people as a whole without knowing nothing about you but the way you look. So don’t hate watch her show some time and maybe yaw will stop hating and learn something. Keep up the good work TYRA!!!!

Damn she still fine, I’d give her my spare change.

But the Tyra playing dressup gimmick is tired, especially when she does it half assed, she wouldn’t even go out and shake it when she dressed as a stripper, now she spends the day with the homeless.

If you wanna convince folks that you’re genuine in your pursuits you need to “shake it” and spend some real time in your costumes.

Yeah Tyra, we get it- you are deep as they come. LOL.

her show is a waste of space it needs to be cancelled

#74 NewNubianEmpress ~ lol

Simon Cowell (AI) is responsible for discovering William Hung!

And, Tyra is responsible for Miss Jay!

ok all we see is her sitting there looking depressed.by the way is that a man sleeping on the ground in the background? (im prettysure she staged that too) but anyways did she walk around with a shopping cart?.instead of COCO CHANEL did she smell like piss? did she walk around and ask for spare change? did she have a sign around her neck WILL WORK FOR FOOD? I Dont know i guess ill just have to watch the show!!!!!!!

what the fuck is it with her??? is she so far removed from the real world that she has to go out and do these things to remind her ass that poor and fat people live in this world..she bugs me out with this shit. But im guessing that because shes in the talk show business she has to have a niche sometihng that her show will be known for. ricki lake was known for the boyfriend/girlfriend drama, jenny jones had makeovers, maury has the phaternity test and bad ass kids, oprah has the giveaways and tyra has this shit with her morphing into normal people in the real world. I guess part of it is her curiousity but im guessing she wanted her show to have a niche too and it seems to be workings whats next tyra on welfare living in the projects for a day lol …

## 97 THAT SHIT IS FUNNY YEAH I COULD SEE HER ALL DRAMATIC GOING INTO THE SUPER MARKET TO SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO PAY WITH FOOD STAMPS!!!!! HA HA HA OH TYRA GO SIT YOUR PRETTY ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE (AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT DAMN SIDEWALK…)

cant wait for the movie its gonna be oscar winning movie

#37 said:

@25 Could you please collaborate?

I think you mean elaborate.

Why are some concreteloopers so amazed at Tyra’s hazel green eyes. Black people come in different shades (skin and eyes) we also have different textures of hair. Her hazel green eyes are not shocking as I have seen (and certain members of my family have) different hues of eye color. Also, I hate when some blacks ask me (and I am sure some other black women have heard) “Is that your real hair, or is it a weave?” Hello!!! All black people do not have short or very course hair. It can be a variety of different textures. GET OVER IT!

Anyway, I love Tyra! Oprah Jr., if I may. Anyway, Tyra can be obnoxious and fake at times, but I appreciate the time and effort she takes into shedding some light on devastating issues. She does need to bring it down a notch sometimes. But I think the more experienced she becomes, the better she will get. GO Ms. Tyra!!!!

@100
Thanks.
I thought that was the wrong word and my ass said twice like I used the right word!hah

Thanks but yeah…ELABORATE please.

I say give her credit…she’s doing something you don’t see anyone else do. she’s getting into the issues firsthand and not sending others out to do the dirty work. you never know what type of impact her stints will have.
God bless her!

^^^

I agree

I know that took a lot of acting.

Gosh, I love her but what next, she’s been just about everything, I wont be suprised if she tried out being a nun for a day.

she is a very creative black woman. i like the idea that she does not just sit on a couch and interview people but take the show to another level. that is very intelligent. we need more black woman like that on tv so lets be supportive because not everybody can pull off what she is pulling off. i behind her 100 %

Im glad Tyra is becoming the face of America..with her undercover segments…The obese woman, the stripper, a man, and now a homeless person…

people need to realize that noone wants to see trash anymore and whose the baby daddy type of shit….

Thats why ppl like Oprah have outlasted shows like Jenny Jones, Geraldo, Ricki Lake, Sally Jessy Rafael, and im just waiting for the white trash society to stop watching Jerry and for the ghetto blacks to stop watching trash like Maury..

The Homeless problem in LA is huge…the other day I was walking by a Bev Hills park and saw like 4 homeless ppl camped out and you have no idea how many times I get asked in a 30 min span for spare change….somewhere around 30…

If this is what it takes for America to see this issue …then I applaud her for her efforts because obviously before this noone gives a damn and prop still wont

I’m wit’ ya’ll Tyra needs to stop frontin’ like she’s a REAL journalist!!!

###101 in response to your comment i am one of the (concreteloopers) who questioned tyras eye color.its not due to ignorance of my culture its just that i dont recall her eye color from years before no its not impossible for an african american to have green,hazel eyes ERYKAH BADU happens to have beautiful eyes i guess TYRA’s superficial so you just expect for them to be fake,but some people in the industry wear them for so long you just kinda forget MARY J BLIGE,PARIS HILTON etc..

RIhanna has green Eyes, Tyra, Jada has hazel, Terrence Howard has green eyes, Deebo from friday- hazel

I have hazel green eyes..and im dark skinned, Not all black ppl have dark eyes and nappy hair

Tyra Banks is doing for role-playing what Maury Povich has done for paternity testing. Can’t she come up with anything new?

BTW Hollywood has the most homeless people in the United States…..Santa Monica has the 2nd highest homeless population in LA and Downtown LA being 3rd

leave tyra laone.

Ya’ll gotta understand all this role playing is a JOB for Tyra, given to her by her producers to produce content for her show. I like Tyra over-all, but sometimes she is holier-than-thou, like when she had that Porn Star Tyra Banxxx on and told her to stop porn and stop using a version of her name. Tyra was BLESSED with model looks and body, so she can play homeless or fat and go back to her mansion and Jaguar at the end of the day.

She’s very pretty without make-up. I agree with the positive comments. And so what ZV. The girl shouldn’t be doing porn. A real women wouldn’t. No matter how broke she is. Mcdonalds are hiring. OK!

It must suck being scooped by Entertainment Tonight. They’re doing a story like this one tomorrow. Tyra’s late yet again, but this should be interesting. Tyra’s looks aren’t what set her apart — it’s her confidence, if only some of us only had a shred of the confidence that she possesses or at least the ability to put on a good face. However with that being said, it’ll be interesting to see how she handles the pressures of the everyday man.

IM PROUD OF HER, AT LEAST SHE’S DOING POSITIVE THINGS IN THIS SAD ASS PATHETIC WORLD, THIS WORLD HAS TOO MANY STUPID AND POINTLESS ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FOR HER TO TACKLE ALL AT ONCE BUT AT LEAST SHE’S TRYING, AND PPL PROBABLY WILL NEVER TAKE HER SERIOUS CUZ 1) SHE’S A FORMER MODEL, AND 2) SHE’S BEAUTIFUL, AND I WOULD GO TO 3, 4, AND SO ON BUT I DONT FEEL LIKE IT…

prettiest bum i have ever seen!!!!!!

why does this fake wanna-be who’s trying too hard have on light make-up to play homeless! Fake bitch, a Oprah you will never be cause you’re not genuine enough. Fake ass smile, just a fake person. Yuke

O.K. I DON’T LIKE THIS CHICK BUT I APPLAUD HER FOR THIS.

and people keep saying “so what, she’s helping community.” Her fake ass is doing this for ratings. There’s an illustration in the bible that talks about the poor widow who gave a measley offering to God (very little in terms of monetary value), and the rich man who gave a lot of money. God gave more credit to the widow because though she didn’t have much, she gave all that she had. See the widow truly made a sacrifice, what in reality, what did the rich man really SACRIFICE? Though God appreciated what the rich man gave, in his eyes, the offering that the poor widow was more valuable.

I say that to say, if you’re not doing things for the right reasons, does God really recognize that? So what you go out and give to charities, but are you doing it with the intent of gaining praise/admiration from others? What does God really think about those who give gifts such as these, don’t know, just know tyra’s a fake person, and i can see right through her. You can tell she’s fake cause one minute she’ll be all smiling, and the next she’ll have a all together different facial expression (now this is the real her) and she’s being very critical! Fake heffa. It’s hard to be fake all day long, and observant people pick up on that about her. That’s why she can’t keep a man, they find out the real her, and they’re outta there.

Okay #90 Damien- yeah they said she donated money to whoever, has it ever dawned on anybody why the celebrities donate so much? Not just becuase they can afford it and the situation touches their heart so deeply, THEY GET A TAX RIGHT OFF! I’m not saying that’s why all of them do it. So, like i said, give away some houses. If she wants to be like Oprah that’s the way to go. Yeah Oprah is dramatic and all, but she is really down for the cause.

Damn this website is full of haters. And by that I mean people who act like they have little or no self-esteem so they make themselves feel better by knocking other people and what they are good at and like to do. Not EVERYBODY. Just some. Everybody is good at something so instead of knocking and putting down what others are good at you should embrace yourself and put effort into what you’re good at instead of putting others down. I know this is a site for opionions and some have negative opinions of others but for those who just hate sound sad.

what tha hell is u thinkin

Does anyone else think that Tyra uses her show to promote the acting career she never had. hence all the role playing.

Why can’t I find a homeless chic out there that looks like that!

Actually, Tyra always talks about her admiration of Oprah, and has said before that she wants to be like Oprah…so comparing her to Oprah would be a complement to her.

I think that Tyra’s show is a little whitewashed sometimes, but I like her, I do watch the show very often, and she is really stepping it up in terms of show topics this season (she talked about some dumb ass shit last season).

But why does she keep having that girl Saaphyri from Flavor of Love 2 on her damn show?

i luv’s me some TYRA,but when she was a STRIPPER she had the nerve to ACT BASHFUL about getting NAKED in front of a CROWD.like MS.JANE(ew,thang)and erbody ain’t seen her TITTIES before backstage and shit.
WHAT A FRONT.
BUT I LOVE HER TOPICS SHE BE ASKIN SOME RAW AS QUESTIONS SOMETIMES.

To the “Hoe sit down” trick, HOE YOU SIT DOWN and tune into Tyra because you might learn something about humanity. Props to Tyra for having fun and making money at the same time. Plus she does battle issues others don’t ans she goes out and experiances it. Its not about her trying to disguise herself, either. She’s just trying to experiance some of what some homeless people experiance. Glasses? Most homeless people can’t afford glasses. Please. Unlike Oprah, she dosen’t just interview someone, pity then, give them a check and go back into her million dollar home at rest.

Check out http://celebritycrimescene.blogspot.com/. There’s a picture you need to see NNOOWWWW

what I wanna know is how long is she going to live on the streets? a couple of hours and then she will go back to her lavish lifestyle.

BIG UPS TO THIS BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN FOR DOING THE DAMN THANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyra is annoying sometimes. She tries to hard.

TYPO *TOO*

LMAO@ #60 I don’t know why that comment made me laugh when it is serious

OH PLZ..SHE TRYNA BE OPERA..SHE WAS BASiCALLY MOCKiNG HER WEN SHE WAS GiViNG VASELiNE OUT ON HER SHOW N GOiN CRAZY..WOW

She looks pretty good for a homeless chick.

GOTTA SAY SOMETIN:
1. HER BLK AZZ KNOW ABOUT P. DIDDY. & GONNA CALL HIM PUPPPY. SHE GONNA CALL HIM A FUCNKIN PUPPY, & THE MAN CAME ALL THE WAY ON A HELICOPTER TO SEE HER, SHE NEED TO STOP..
2. CALLING QUEEN LATIFAH.. LAYTEEFAY.. ASING HER HOW TO SAY HER NAME.
3. COME ON NOW.. BE BLK BITCH. STOP ACTING FAKE!! THAT IS WHY YOUR SHOW WONT LAST!! BE BLK DAMN! BE YOURSELF U STUPID BITCH!! I HATE WHEN BLK PEOPLE ACT LIKE THAT.

First of all, Tyra cheated on this “homeless” experiment because they just stayed on one little section of a street that looked empty as hell, wernt nobody really walking by or anything, and if somebody did walk by they looked like people that was about to go shopping, or on they way to work, not someobody thta look semi-threatening. Nothing was going on. She should have went to the straight up GUTTER and really get a taste for the experience, not some supervised-controlled environment. Do it right.
