She’s the best.
March 2, 2011 at 7:41 am
Definitely my fave! I hope Tyra didn’t give her any dreadful makeover.
March 18, 2011 at 9:04 am
The irony is that her weave turned out really bad. But she handled it well considering. I love her too; she’s beautiful.
May 5, 2011 at 7:31 pm
oh she did, she gave her an ugly ass haircut to go with her ugly ass face and attitude!!
March 12, 2011 at 5:26 am
Yes, poor girl got a death blow makeover but didn’t let it get to her psyche dealt with it. Seems Trya doesn’t have all the answers. Next, she will cut it all off and say oh that’s “high fashion.” Please after a top photo guess Trya wan’t to even the playing field. Poor girl. How can she trust the experts even J had to roll his eyes on that one.
June 21, 2011 at 12:30 pm
…at the end she did get it all cut off, only to lose the competition.
March 14, 2011 at 2:06 am
Love her. I would like for her to be in the top two with Hannah. But on ANTM that would never happen.
March 25, 2011 at 6:27 am
Yeah! Me too! My third fav is Brittani!
May 20, 2011 at 6:25 am
All three ended up in the Top three.
March 18, 2011 at 4:43 pm
My new fave.
March 21, 2011 at 12:36 am
This was one of the worst makeovers, but I think that this chick won’t win. There’s really nothing special about her and nothing unique. She also shows a bad attitude and yeah, I don’t think she will win.
March 25, 2011 at 6:26 am
Oh, poor Molly! She’s one of my favs this cycle, altogether with Brittani and Hannah. I hope they cut off her ugly weave and she makes it to the finals as she proved she can model really well.
March 25, 2011 at 6:26 am
Plus, I would be grumpy and distracted too if I had such a nasty weave!
March 25, 2011 at 3:04 pm
MOGR Make Over Gone wRong, in the bottom two for a second bad rug she had to wear not just for a single photo shoot but to live with for weeks. You go Molly be strong. Maybe Trya should have all the girls wear rugs as a challenge but have to leave the “hair” on for two days before the pics are taken.
March 26, 2011 at 8:27 am
She’s The best!² *_*
March 26, 2011 at 10:44 pm
Some of the shots done by Russel James were amazing. She looks like the models in Paris and Milan runway shows. Nice facial features and poses, but I think she would be a bit old (22) for European market. Altough if I were a fashion designer I would book her right away.
March 28, 2011 at 7:04 am
I don’t care for molly that much. I don’t think she will win currently because she is not consestent. Her first photo was great, her second photo was boring and blank, her third photo rocked and was one of the best that week, and her fourth photo was great to me but their were mistakes that really stood out and all those things make me question how far she will go.
March 31, 2011 at 6:51 pm
If Tyra hadn’t given her that terrible weave, she would have successed! She’s gorgeous and something about her shows uniqueness.
April 3, 2011 at 4:00 am
Gorgeous! The camera loves her face.
Awful weave, though. Good idea, bad execution.
April 9, 2011 at 8:59 am
She’s my bet.
April 10, 2011 at 10:08 pm
I really like her look even though it’s kinda boring to look at but the mystery in her face is sort of interesting in some way. I just want her to win or something.
April 12, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Molly is my favorite!
April 24, 2011 at 10:06 am
she has a violent attitude but i find it very endearing.some of her rough comments really made me laugh.i love her and britt.hope that they are the final two.
April 27, 2011 at 4:15 pm
I think this girl wins, if you check out the after photos of antm, this girl has the least “poor” test shots, which means IMG is keeping her from those lousy test jobs?
April 27, 2011 at 4:16 pm
*photos of models after antm
April 28, 2011 at 8:45 pm
She is my favorite too, and I am really rooting for her!
May 4, 2011 at 12:10 pm
I think she is beautiful and I love her look but I’m sick of her attitude. She’s so negative and although I don’t particularly LIKE Alexandria, all Molly does is whine about her. Rise above, girl! You’re a great model!
May 6, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Her pictures are good, but if anyone should have been dubbed the bitch it should have been her. She is a real bitch and has a bad attitude.
May 11, 2011 at 8:02 am
She’s going to win, she’s an absolute expert at what she does!!!!! IDC what any of yall say..
May 14, 2011 at 2:43 am
She’s just stunning! So perfect on the photos! And her “always angry” attitude is quite funny actually! <3
May 14, 2011 at 9:53 am
molly is my fave since day 1…i hope she wins!
May 16, 2011 at 8:28 am
When I see Molly I saw her as pretty Oriental because ehr eyes always squint when she’s on camera but she had so much potential the only real problem is her anger issues, hope she dosen’t do that in the finale.
She and Brittani are in the final two and will be competing in a Vivienne Westwood fashion show in Morocco.
May 19, 2011 at 10:48 pm
It’s too bad she seemed so bummed so often. I hope she gets over that. Though I’m happy Brittani won, Molly definitely deserved to be in the top three with Hannah. She’ll do well as a model, I’m sure.
May 27, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I’m so happy even Molly didn’t win she still get a contract in img models together with Brittani! I’m so happy for Molly !! ANTM MOLLY!
May 28, 2011 at 12:45 am
Molly is my favorite too. You can tell that she is a real person. Regardlss of what she done in the past she still became a better person because of it. She os not pretentious at all. She is out-spoken. Too bad she didn’t win. But i know she will be out there modeling, because she is born to do that.
June 13, 2011 at 6:13 am
I hope she makes it far like elyse lots of seasons back. She has the modeling potential, she cant take a bad picture!
All her pictures are FIERCE!
June 14, 2011 at 11:26 pm
I really wish Molly would have won! She was very unique in her own way and still beautiful and amazing at taking photos. Brittani was okay but I found her to be somewhat annoying and too emotional. Everyone gets angry at times and Molly was learning to control her anger.. I think her story with being adoption and all would have been a lot more inspiring to people out there then Brittani’s, although that was interesting too. I wish Molly would have won, but I hope the best for her and hope to see her make big achievements!
October 17, 2011 at 3:09 am
But this isn’t all about having a story and having to sell it and be inspirational to everyone out there… it’s not about “who in this show has the worst upbringing / childhood / emotional trauma?” It’s about who has the overall best performance in this industry and how they performed as models. I mean the only real reason that they go into the whole “I came from a trailer park” issue or “I had abandonment issues because I was adopted” is just there to make it more interesting for the viewers, really.
I think overall they were both amazing and both were very, very beautiful. I wish them both the best with their careers!
June 28, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Molly has boht the look and talent! I hope she becomes wildly successful in the industry. ANTM really strengthened the talent pool this season.
July 8, 2011 at 9:15 am
She is so cool; love her.
July 12, 2011 at 4:23 pm
I think Molly was amazing. I love how they tried their best to fix her new “weave” for the makeover shot. She rocked it.
July 26, 2011 at 5:04 am
I love how she looks with her natural shouder length hair I hate how they cut all her hair off in the last epsoide.
August 7, 2011 at 5:15 am
i love Molly O’Connell , all my heart,
August 11, 2011 at 9:27 am
she had the most beautiful hair.
August 19, 2011 at 12:57 pm
poor molly.i see she trying hard for becoming next winner but what can i say brittani won this competion.congratulation brittani,hope u success in your career
August 20, 2011 at 1:04 pm
No, I believe it’s not IMG but Image Models.
September 8, 2011 at 6:10 am
Everytime I see her photographs she looks like Kate Moss. It’s a blessing and will take her to Paris if an agency chooses to sign her
December 3, 2011 at 5:40 pm
I don’t like her. She’s sulky and moody. And her attitude with Alexandria is a disgrace. I hope she goes soon.
December 7, 2011 at 1:09 am
Hated her
December 24, 2011 at 2:44 am
She is the best.
December 24, 2011 at 3:01 am
She is the best. I love her.
January 20, 2012 at 12:37 am
she should have won
