Will Alana Love return to the ranch?

When Alana first appeared on the "Tyra Show" she set off a firestorm from our viewers. Everyone had an opinion and wanted to be heard.

Alana gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a few weeks ago and came back to update us on how things are going and respond to the criticism from some of you at home.

Tell Us: You heard what Alana had to say, now what do you think? Will she go back to the ranch?

Alana, NO ONE pays your bils but you. Don't let anyone's comments bring you down. SINK or SWIM and u are swimming.(I'm in the same predictament). You're da one that has to feed, clothe, & provide medical care etc. I have a son, was married, in my own home only to loose everything. Before I knew it i waz living on the ghetto. The ghetto is no place for my son whom was constantly approached by gangs. Glad to say we r outta there. YOU SURVIVE GIRL...you answer to you and no one else.

Years ago I was a single mom who put herself through nursing school so I know a little about this. We rode plenty of buses and I worked lots of overtime - sometimes 2 jobs. I won't make any moral arguments about the choice of working in the sex trade while raising a child. You could instead consider some practical angles. The sex trade is DANGEROUS. You run the risk of exposure to HIV and other STD's as well as hepatitis. Even if you use them religiously, condoms do fail. At least 2 of my siblings are the result of condom failure. You are placing yourself in a vulnerable position with total strangers who engage in behavior that is not the norm. Many victims of serial killers work(ed) in the sex trade. My last comment is I guess judgemental. I find it ironic that both young women I saw on the show had daughters. I would hope that your greatest desire as the mother of a little girl is to bring her up to be a strong, mentally and physically and emotionally healthy woman. Regardless of the closeness that you might feel to your colleagues, your situation puts her development at risk and I would advise you to run as fast as you can - both from your recent profession and your daughter's father.

Watching this episode right now, I really have been disgusted by the episode. The whole hour has been letting the audience attack the guest and Tyra attacking the guest. Tyra brought on these women so that they may be attacked and so that everyone else can feel better about themselves. Shame on you Tyra. Fail.

tyra you sound so dumb. not everybody has grown up and hve had the luck you have had. you know NOTHING about foster care or growing up rough- who are you to say why people are the way they are. you are not god, and HES the only one with the right to judge. you said to the girl that you arent a counselor or a trained professional- so who gave you the right to tell girls why they make decisions they make? you are extremely disrespectful and clueless.

I feel the way Tyra talked down to this young girl was disgusting!! She had no right to judge her and act like God! " Judge not least you be judged" tyra overstepped her bounds! She humiliated this girl in front of the world! if I was this Alana I would have walked off the show! I comend Alana on staying strong and staying on set i pray she doesnt take Tyras words to heartQ I pray she learns to think on her own and do what ever her heart desires! Even if that is prostitution, its not glamorous and its not what i would choose but it pays the bills!

Actually I am disgusted by the way tyra was bashing Alana and the other guests.I mean who are you to judge, some people may say your famous for modelling in your underwear there are actually some who finds that distasteful.but you can say that is your choice what makes that better than what alana is doing? you there are ways to give your opinions without sounding judgemental and cynical.

I think the girls did what they had to do for their children. I am a married mother of two and my husband works for the state and I am a retail manager, and I can not pay my bills even with the two incomes. No one is comming to my rescue and I have thought about taking a job stripping because I need to make sure my children have food on the table and clothes on their backs. I give those women serious props for doing anything and everything by themselves for their children. To sum up I don't think there is anything wrong with what they are doing and if I lived there I would do the same thing to feed and clothe my children

PROSTITUTION;there is nothing clean about that!how can these people believe that tyra would be so clueless or uneducated about this particular topic or any other things.tyra has helped alot of people and the advice she gives is very helpful right now as well as in the future.all i really have to say is that people need to wake up and get a life and stop hating on people like tyra who are trying to make young women be better than statistics!

Why is everyone so harsh on Tyra yet all she does is reach out to people who need help? I come from Kenya in Africa where prostitution is rising so fast yet no one, not even the government is doing anything about it! Alana is a beautiful girl who can get a decent job, earn a decent living and raise her daughter decently! Tyra, am so greatful because you taught me to be honest. Am a single mother of a beautiful 3year old girl from a broken relationship and am a Law student at the University of Nairobi. Am determined to give my daughter a decent life all because Tyra once quoted that it's never too late to start again! Anyone can make a decent living! KEEP UP THE SPIRIT TYRA!!!!!!!

argh! Is me again, I was reading the comments and got even more mad! Yes for the question about who saw the show with Oprah interviewing the bunny ranch girl. The blonde was so comfortable. Of course she seemed a little dumb too. But hey, again: IT’S HER CHOICE!!! I really hope Tyra reads these comments. Hey Tyra!!! I want to see an apology on your show on how you behave lately.Not just about Alana, about all your guests. And please get on the ground with us humans. You are not God!!! OOO, something else, if you really think you are Oprah…wake up!! YOU ARE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tyra stop looking down at your guests!!! Why did Alana come back after last time anyway? Alana, haven’t you learn a lesson? Tyra is judgmental, cynic and most of all FAKE! I wonder why people even bother to come to her show. I never left a comment to any website or even to an you tube video because I think is a waste of time, but this show is driving me crazy. Soon is going to become a “Gerry Springer like” show and God forbid I don’t miss that show either. Anyway, ALANA DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS BEST for your baby and yourself. Prostitution is not exactly the best choice in a career but I bet is the best paid. And frankly, Alana is not exactly a genius right? She has no education and obviously no desire to get one. If she is comfortable doing sex for money, is her choice. She is an adult and can make decisions for herself. Why you people are so judgmental? Oh wait, the only ones judgmental here are 11 years old kids and people who have no idea how to spell a simple word. Get a life Tyra!!! And by the way, quit being a host, you have no credibility.

Well I think she could have killed her baby by haveing sex with all of those guy's. If I was that girls mother I would not even clame her as my child. I would be to assmed to even say that I gave birth to some one like that.I know that she was probly going through a tough time when she turned to have sex for money but I think that she does not have any sence at all.I am only 11 year's of age and I know not to have sex when i am pregnet with a bunch of people that i dont even know. Me personely think that people showld not have sex aunless they are merried. and i am pretty shure that she probaly did'nt go to collage before she started haveing sex for money.And if I was her I would not want to rase my children in that type of place. I would want to rase my children in a house with a white picket fence.And i would want my children to be docters or loure's those are some of the things that i want to be when i grow up.

Tyra did not bash on anyone. She just gave her personal view. And she WANTS Alana to DO BETTER. Is it wrong to encourage a people to think more of themselves? Funny how you guys can respect one persons decision/opinion. But can't do that for another.
