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?

i dont think she should go back to being a prostitute. what type of role model will she be to her daughter in 5 years when she asks her mum what she works as, or even worse, when she is older and she is embarrased about it. i think she should try and learn something, get a masters degree, take courses online or even tryng to do something she loves. i dont think you should let your personal standard and self respect weaken at a time of need, in fact, they give you courage and confidence that would help you not give up. my advise, think of a better person you want to be and what your daughter wants you to be, then try and acheive those goals before its to late. i wish you the best of luck.

Why is everyone beind so harsh on Tyra. If you want respect in this world prostitution is not the best road to take...Its the skum of the earth. Then to compare a high fashion model to a prostitute??? That is hilarious and written by a very uneduacated person...Nice try bunny ranch by having all the hookers blog in! LMAO!

I was shocked to see that Alana would agree to go back on the Tyra Show, after her last "bashing" by Tyra. She does not treat all guests the same, even if in the same profession. I thought she might treat her better because of all the negative comments, and the number of them, from the first show against her. (Tyra). More respect is lost for her. I think she is getting "too big" for her pants.

Tyra, I watch your show and you have wonderful topics but I think that you can be condescending to your guests sometimes...Alana came on your show to share her story not be shot down, yes her choices arent the smartests ones but no one deserves to be disrespected.

I don't agree with anything to told her or the teen pregnant girls! She is doing what she wanted to do! And your judging her! And I am a teen mother myself and I have no regrets. She is my world and I would never change anything about the way my life is now! She actually saved me! But back to alana! Even if she does go back ill be proud of her. She kept her child and is trying to be the best mother she knows how to be. You know nothing about mothering children so how could you give someone advise? My point exactly! I think you need to watch what you say to people! Just cause this is not the way you live your life does NOT make it the wrong way! and you pretty much made her look like crap on tv! And she really is not. At least she is not giving up on being a mother! I watch your show a lot and you offend me A LOT! Your not a consouler your a tv host act like it!

Yeah, prostitution is kind of sick. Actually, it's very sick. But she's doing it in a safe, clean environment, and I agree with her. If her daughter doesn't know about it, it won't hurt her. It's MUCH better than her newborn daughter being homeless. And, okay, you focused a lot on how wrong it is for the WOMEN who are involved. But what about the MEN. You did not once mention how wrong it is for men to PAY women for sex. Place the blame where it belongs, there's a sex industry for a reason.

Tyra - R U kidding me??? R U that clueless, as to how you come off to the masses watching your show? Or how ridiculous you sound? You have no business being a talk show host - U R not qualified professionally, nor do you have the education. You'll never be like Oprah, so give that dream up. You'll never come across as someone who actually knows what she's talking about, because you have not yet truly learned what it takes to be an outstanding communicator which is part of being a receptive listener. But moreover, you haven't truly learned diplomacy, humility, compassion. You can only flash it on momentarily as if you were in a photo shoot presenting a false image. You are intellectually immature and culturally unseasoned (jet setting the world doesn't equate to the same thing). Why don't you get a real job, and know what it's truly like to be without, alone, and struggling as this young woman was. And the audacity of you to berate her publicly, when clearly she looked up to you and was seeking your guidance. You missed an opportunity to feel good about helping someone, especially if you believed she could have been on a different path - Instead you insulted her, not to mention the other guests. I don't believe for a second that you care about anybody, but your own BANKable Productions. Don't expect NYC to love you.

tyra how dare you judge another person so harshly? i give that girl kudos for telling her story, and everyone is right. A GOOD TALK SHOW HOST IS NOT BIAS. you are really disappointing me lately. its not always all about you ms banks. i know in your lifetime you have been criticized so you know how it feels, what gives you the right to criticize someone else?

yes I do believe that she will return because she only see's the "glamorous" part of prostitution and refuses to see the truth. My comment is mainly for the other prostitute that sat on that sofa. I resent what she said about the public transportation system in Oklahoma. I live in Oklahoma and have been riding the bus system for the last 2 yrs and have NEVER once faced adversity of any kind. Yes our public transportation system is used by all walks of life, but people usually mind their own business. I mean if you carry yourself as easy then of course you will attract the less favorable. How dare you dis on us like that!

I think every body has the right to do what ever they want! but um not saying that right what she's doing especially because of the baby that she has ! But I think they were attacking her the most but what. About the dad of the baby he's suppose to help with the baby!

I think that the people who put her down in these comments are ridiculous. I am a single mother of four boys and have to struggle to support them. I can only imagine what she must be going through in her mind. Just because she working on the bunny farm to support her child does not make her a bad person. she s doing what she thinks is best for herself and her child. with todays economy you have to support you and your own and leave her alone,

I think that tyra even know she reacted kinda harshly a bit, it wasn't that bad. Everyone is entitled to there opionions and yes she is to inspire but if she believes that what Alana did was wrong then thats her choice and she xcan react how she wants. i think maybe she could have given something to the baby cuz its innocent and has done nothing wrong but people make mistakes.

I AGREE WITH THE OTHERS WHO BELIEVE THE WAY ALANA WAS TREATED WAS DISTASTEFUL. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HER CHOICE IN BEING A PROSTITUTE, ALMOST EVERYONE HAS HAD A ONE NIGHT STAND AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES, SHE JUST GETS PAID FOR HERS. WHAT SHE'S DOING IS NOT ILEGAL AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE HER. I'M GLAD SHE IS ABLE TO MAKE THE MONEY SHE NEEDS TO GIVE HER DAUGHTER A GOOD LIFE. I HOPE SHE DOES GO BACK.... AT LEAST SHE FEELS LIKE SHE BELONGS THERE. I HOPE YOU WATCH YOUR SHOWS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW RUDE AND IGNORANT YOU WERE.

tyra i love your show and pretty much watch it daily but i was shocked when i saw the way you reacted to Alana.. i have always looked up to you for your generosity, understanding, and ability to get people to understand your point with out being so aggressive. im not saying what alana did was right as a matter of a fact is was selfish, dirty, and sin full. but tyra maybe you reaching out to alana would of helped her, the girl seemed eager to hear what you had to say but you came on way to strong towards her and i could see she felt intimidated by you... i just hope she dosnt return to the show... this was not a good episode
