I know this may just me, but does anyone get the impression Craig has caught on to the set ups as far as testing them for compassion etc.. The last couple of times he was helpful, I had the feeling he knew this was a set up. Maybe it's so out of character for Craig to be aware of others to want to help them.

Did Craig pass the elevator/pregnant lady test? I can't remember.

From the overview of him, it looked like he helps others out when it's not going to affect him. The woman who "lost" her engagement ring? Wasn't he looking thru papers or something? But the woman with the baby, he was just waiting for the car to be brought around, so it wasn't going to have any affect on him, one way or another.

Craig and Amy both failed the elevator test. The other two passed.

Everyone but Craig passed the pit boss challenge - another reason I'm still sulking he stayed over Amy.

Also now Taylor and Erika are tied at having won two challenges each, although Taylor has still failed two to her one. Craig has only won one, and failed five.

Is there really any other outcome but Erika winning? I mean seriously, none of them have been nice, but she's been the most civil. I too can't believe they kept Craig since he's been, by FAR the least civil to others of the group.

So let's see, we have a self-centered thief (no way he wins), a not too attractive or personable guy (Taylor), and the pert blond who has consistently been nice to strangers. GEE how will I make it through the suspense to see the outcome?! LOLOL

BTW anyone else feel that Vanessa M should have identified herself each week? I'm not convinced ANY of them recognized her or got this was True Beauty. And FWIW I MUCH and I mean MUCH preferred her sidekicks last year, a famous legit supermodel and that funny guy. MEH w/these 2. Never saw the blonde before and what in the world did Carson do to his lips? And he rather annoys me on a good day (before he became Mick Jagger/Lisa Rinna LOL).

I was just looking at the banner and I don't remember anything about the first three off: JD, Michael and Regina.

Didn't Regina get kicked off for using her phone? Someone else was supposed to go home and they saved both of 'em and sent her packing.

Yes, that's the week that it was Liz and somebody else (maybe Taylor?) and Regina ended up getting kicked off because of her cellphone usage.

Yeah, as long as Craig was third it was ok with me.

I guess there actually is a Face of Vegas job. Wonder what it is.

Apparently it's being humiliated on national TV for $100,000.

OK its the next day - can someone spoil now??? Pretty Please!! I had to go pick up DD 10 min before the final!!

I saw their commercials (was I the only one who thought Craig's was weak?)

I saw they got to sit at the judges table and see their videos of bad behavior...

Then I had to leave!!

They looked pretty embarrassed after seeing themseslves and getting the 'True Beauty' spiel from Vanessa(?) Then it was all about looking sorry for their bad behaviour--Craig even brought the vest he stole to the final meeting and gave it to Carson with a contrite speech about how this isnt him!!! I swear I could hear Elaine's voice from Seinfeld, saying "fake, fake fake"!
By the time they announced the winner, I didnt really care. The real show was watching them re-act to the traps and challenges and not like each other. Crowning a winner was anti-climactic.

Reader, after they sat at the judges table, when Vanessa introduced herself to them, Erica was given a key to the judges' room downstairs. They went down and saw their bad behavior and all were suitably upset.

Then they made their appearance in the elimination room to plead their case. All three gave good final arguments, apologizing for their bad behavior, and stating they wanted to learn from the experience and/or change in the future.

Craig was eliminated in 3rd place. The winner of True Beauty was Taylor.

Taylor's only real flaws were his temper (both when the focus group nailed him and then when he thought he'd lost a pair of jeans this episode). But he was the most helpful to the people he encountered in the sneak challenges. Erica had actually cheated once (looking at the questions in the elevator) as well as bad mouthing other contestants behind their backs. Craig stole the vest the first challenge, and seemed to not care much about helping anyone else.

So that's that. I'm fine with the winner. And except for seeing Taylor's face in the People mag, I doubt I'll ever see any of them again! :-)

They all said they learned so much about themselves by being on the show. (Bwahahahahahahahaha)

They finally realized (after they were told) that they were on True Beauty instead of Face of Las Vegas.

LOL @ Cablejockey...I thought the same thing about Craig! It was also funny that the other two so obviously wanted Amy to come back and Craig just strolled in and drank her favorite drink...he might be a jerk but he did kind of make the show better at the end because he gave the producers priceless stuff...his confidence definitely has never waivered.

I'm glad Taylor won, although I think it was neck and neck between him and Erika. She was very gracious and seemed excited for him.

It seemed that they all knew about the "True Beauty" show. That is, once they were told this was really True Beauty.

At least these 3 seemed to get that their behavior was bad as compared to all the others who stood there either clueless or wanting to leave.
I am glad Taylor won.

Of course they had the time to absorb what the show truly was about, as opposed to those people who were already eliminated and then were shown their sins! These 3 had the luxury of being able to evaluate their behavior and decide how best to spin it.

Craig returning the vest was a bit much. "A thorn in my side" he said.

Erika's speech made me want to gag. I think it was the way her voice was as she said it. She totally changed from her real voice to something else very phony.

Me too, Dogdoc. It came across as very fake, and before that I know she smiled and put on a goody goody air for the cameras, but she wasn't fake in her personal interactions.

Craig's speech was just awful. Someone should have started playing violins. I feel like the judges, particularly Carson, were very biased towards him (in his favour). He clearly seemed the least able to do the Vegas statues walk and talk chat, but they said they couldn't tell between them.

Another thing that annoyed me - they made a big thing about those three getting to the final meaning that whatever position they ended up in, they were all true beauties inside. So Amy, as fourth place, is evil but Craig is a True Beauty!?

I hope they don't make another season of this because I'd still watch it and hate myself for it.

This show really is disgustingly awful, with no redeeming qualities. I vow NOT to watch another one, should it come up again. What a train wreck in the entertainment world.

Erika's speech was like watching a badly-produced beauty pageant. I don't think she means to, but she comes off as really fake when she talks like that. I was waiting for her to say something about working towards world peace.

I don't think Craig's was genuine, either. He was all about winning a competition -- whatever competition he was placed in -- no matter what it took.

Taylor has a temper that he needs to learn to control, but at least he seemed genuine all the time.

Doggone it! My DVR didn't record this last episode! Come to think of it, my DVR did the same thing on the last season of this same show! Watch all of them and then miss the finale. Oh well, at least I know what happened thanks to you all!

agree with ya all, loved Erika until the last fake voice bit...she also used that fake voice in the ad.

I gave Craig props in the end. I will be shocked if they do another season of this
