First of all, let me say that I absolutly love your show!!! You know all the right things to say. You're my idol! Second of all, this "rock your ugly" episode actually made me cry. It was so heartbreaking to see many beautiful women out there who thought of themselves as ugly. Especially when that girl didn't wanna marry the guy because she thought that he deserved someone prettier and she thought that she was ugly. That has got to be the saddest thing I've ever seen. :( Oh and all those girls that thought they were perfect and then ended up insulting eachother... well you were right about them. They all are ugly on the inside. And that is just a front that they put up to make themselves feel better because deep down they too have a low self-esteem. Well anyways, that's all I had to say. Love you Tyra!!

watching your show Rock your Ugly and one guest named Amanda I can relate to. At the age of 9, I was attacked by a dog. I have two scares on my face. One runs from my left ear close to my noes and the other one is across the bridge of my noes under my eye and I'm also missing my right tear duct so my eye waters all day long. I got brave one day and decided to try out for a commercial/photo shoot and made it for an interview in Toronto. I felt so GREAT until he noticed my eye watering and then it lead to "oh and your scares, you should wear extra make up to really hide them" My heart burst into pieces because I wanted to follow my dream of doing a photo shoot, so I never went back and probably will never try out for anything like that again. All I can say is, it is hard to look in the mirror when you have scares on your face and there is always someone starring or wanting to ask "what happened" But keep your spirit up and keep on shinning with smiles that we survived a childhood accident.

Tyra, i am sitting watching your show right now and its just so amazing how such an inspiring woman you are. You always know the right thing to say at the right time. It was so phenominal to hear what all you had to say to the girl who did not want to get married because she felt like an "ugly duckling". You are such an uplifting woman and are helping young girls everywhere. I look up to you and you are my biggest role model.

Well first off tyra i just wanted to start off by saying, that i have been watching all of your shows and absolutely love you. You have such a wonderful loving heart. Out of all your shows, i could relate to this one the most. No lie, i set here in tears watching your show. I could relate to it all, but the part i could relate to the most was the couple where the girl is so insecure with her body. I felt where she is coming from. I am exactly like her. That part of the show touched my heart dearly. I have never liked the way i looked. It has got so bad that it has come to be a problem in my relationships. The relationship i am in now is wonderful, and i know in my heart that my woman loves me, but because of my insecurities it has become a problem almost. Tyra i am a plus size woman and it has become worse ever since i had my son, and i have tried to rock my ugly so many times, but it is so hard. My woman tells me that she loves everything about me and i love her so much for that but i can't help but wonder how does someone love something like me. Tyra i just wish i had the confidence that you have. I want you to know that i thank you for this show because it has gave me alil courage to rock my ugly the best i can and to love myself for who i am and how i look. Thank you so much Tyra. Hoping to meet you one day, tina.....

Personally, I think the 3 girls that felt ugly were WAY prettier than the 4 that thought they were hot stuff. And as far as that girl that feels ugly without her fake tan, I am tan year round and there have been guys that refused to date me because of it. I'm half Mexican half white. My tan doesn't fade. Ever. Course there are other people that are jealous of my skin tone. But everyone has different opinions. Some people may think you are gorgeous and others think your ugly. But it doesn't matter what they think only what you think. And you must think positive things about yourself.

Hey Tyra! i am watching your show rock your ugly! I must admit I know why and how that girl with her boyfriend feels. Its hard to look at myself and see nasty and just gross feeling in the pic of my stomach. I do think that girl is way pretty and her boyfriend loves her so much. I hope one day I can have that love and feel it about myself. I think your show and you are awsome. I even names my daughter after you in a movie I loved. Coyote Ugly girl! lol Well I love what you do. i also hope to love myself inside and out one day.

I really don't know how these girls were able to do this...I had a baby about 5 months ago and HATE my body...these women are soooooo strong!

Tyra, I luv what your doing. I'm over weight, and everytime I go outside, people stare. Not even just kids, adults, grown adults stare and laugh and point. I hate it but I know its what everyone does and what people who don't know what it feels like do. And truthfully, I feel bad for her. I thank you so much for what you did on the "rock your ugly" show.
