Poor Farrah and Naomi only being cast to be obvious first boots. I reckon Gia will probably go far to make up for Ru's comments. I can see her being 'Bebe'd' at points (delivers a safe/meh performance and gets highly praised for it and coasts through most of the competition). I don't think she'll get to the final four though.
I hope Monique's got the coins to do well this time, I think it might have been too soon for her to come back but I hope i'm wrong.
From the confirmed list, I'd definitely say that the frontrunners are Trinity and Manila. I think Valentina will get the Milk treatment, Monet will go down somewhere in the middle and Farrah, Monique (

) and Naomi will be early boots with Latrice not far behind them, sadly.
If Shea's in it then she'll be top four at least I expect. Jasmine would be an early boot, Joslyn and Kim Chi would make it mid way unless there's a lot of look challenges that would benefit Kim.
