What struck me as comical last night. We have been "blessed" with Jaslene commercials all season. She still can't speak with any type of enunciation. Then last night Tyra has to critic the way one person pronounced one word.

That's what you get when you don't have anyone in the bunch that is TOP TOP!!! Chantal and Saleisha, both passable but not TOPS. In the end they went for the one that at least has a better catwalk. (Chantal's make up was not very flattering, I may add...) This season was the weakest of them all and the fact that they hurrying to get new contestants for next season is almost as if they want to forget this one and hope for a better one... Good luck! (I think the real gorgeous girls avoid this show like the plague... it ruins more than it helps their chances...) so we are left with a bunch of very ordinary looking girls and only if you are very lucky you may get one that could be transformed into a real beauty, it happened but where are they now?? Where's Eva? I think she was one of the best picks for Tyra.

Costa, I agree that the producers weren't into the show. I wonder if that happened after Tyra and the panel started to let the better models go. It must have been hard to edit these last few episodes. Poor Chantel standing there at the end. The panel rarely threw her a bone as to what she did well. It was very slanted. Then, it seemed like they struggled to find something negative to tell Saliesha about her performance. Just as they appeared to struggle to tell Chantel something positive about hers. I thought that Chantel's face told the whole story. What I thought was telling was that, normally, they go through every single picture that the girls have taken to compare them side by side. This time, they only did that with 3 pictures. To me, it was a clear indication of the calibar of performance for the girls. Well, in the next cycle, we can look forward to the 'guest' appearances and commercials from Salisha! Boy, won't that be fun...

Kookliebird-I totally agree about the number of pictures they went through at the end. The first two shoots and then nothing until the shoot in China. That does tell a lot! I was not that excited about this cycle and really did not care about the finale for the first time. It was very anticlimatic and as someone said above, what was up with the fashion show with no audience other than the judges. Also, Jay Manuel is usually there as a judge on the final panel but he was not this time unless I missed something. Hope next cycle is better becuase I do like this show but this one just seemed to be a blur to me this time. Wonder if next cycle will by in NYC since Tyra now does her talk show from there.

We should all write in and tell Tyra how bogus this season was so she knows we're paying attention to her obvious biasness.

Jennah was screwed from the second they gave her that awful rat's nest hairdo. I can't believe they picked Saleisha over Chantal. The only good thing is that we don't have to see/hear Jaslene anymore. She makes me want to rip my ears off.

I can't watch until this weekend either but I love reading the posts. I was hoping for Chantal too! I loved her upbeat personality and she took great pictures.

I knew that Saliesha would win, I knew about halfway thru the competition. I don't think they would pick Chantal, even though to me she has more of that model body b/c they already had a blonde winner in Caridee. I think that Saliesha's haircut accentuated her thick neck. I wasn't the biggest fan of Jenah but I think they were a little hard on her. I almost wanted her not to leave.

I knew Saleisha would win, but didn't watch it. Would it be worth watching or should I just delete it off my DVR?

I just thought of something else. They both took their cover shots. Usually when the reveal the winner they do so by revealing what their cover shot will look like. We never saw those pictures. They revealed with the shot of Salesha jumping in the air at the wall.

Cindy, I noticed that too! Plus, they added another photo shoot with Salisha and Tyra at the end, which was kind of strange. Personally, I did not like Salisha's 'tangerine' cover girl shoot anyway. She looked really washed out to me. I thought Jenah's cover girl picture was the best. Brunettes: Cycle 1 Bobby Brady's wife and Cycle 2 Motorcycle head shot at the end. (but I can't remember either of their names if that tells you anything)

Huh. Interesting... Three brunettes (Adrianne, Yoannai, Nicole). Four women of "color" (Eva, Naima, Dani, Saleisha) One Latina (Jaslene) One blonde (CariDee) I'm sorta seeing a trend here. I also can't remember what Nicole looked like at the beginning of her cycle and at the end. She didn't start as a brunette.

actually, Naima is part African American and Latina from wiki: "Her father is Mexican, Indian and African-American, while her mother is Irish and African-American." (so I was wrong above on the # of black winners. half now are black) Nicole had slightly reddish brown hair - sort of mousy actually (her audition vid is on you tube, but it won't link for some reason)

If I were one of the eliminated girls, I would change my name and never admit that I was even on this show. Then I would work up a good portfolio and go around using whatever techniques I had learned abd apply for real modelling jobs. And if anyone recognized me, I would say, "Oh, yeah, lots of people say I look like her" and hopefully never admit I had been on such a loser of a show.

I wanted to run out and buy Jenah some Loreal to touch up her roots! You would think they would spring for some haircolor because it just ruined her latest photos for me. I kept noticing her roots and not her face. Poor kid, they really over-stepped the boundaries of propriety by trying to drag out her personal history and play Dr. Phil on her. Wrong, just wrong.

It is a bit creepy sometimes that they get so personal with the girls. Is that 'normal' in this industry?? There's a video clip of Naima on the ANTM website, and she says that she is still trying to figure out who 'Naima is.' Of course that didn't stop the judges from choosing her as the winner. Have to wonder what poor Jenah is thinking when she sees that. Naima looks great now imo, btw. Her features actually have always reminded me of Madonna's

Thanks Shar. I didn't have time to go back and look up the winners. It is interesting to look back at the winners. Only 1 blond. If I recall, Caridee said inappropriate things as well. I hope Jenah goes back to her red hair. I thought she looked better as a redhead. If those are recent shots, Madonna holds up well.

actually these are older shots of Madonna... just looked for similar angles Naima actually looks a bit different now too (shorter hair) i was pretty shocked when they chose Caridee. i think they found her sufficiently 'edgy.' maybe it helped that she mouthed off to Nigel.. who knows??

Another thing.... you should never go into ANTM with a name like Mary, Jane, Joanne, Lisa because it just won't fly. Check out the uniqueness of the various names who won. Nicole is the only name that would be more common.
