Krista looks hard and, more often than not, mean in her pix. I don't see "exotic" at all, other than the color of her skin.

When I say exotic, I'm just using the the word the designers used often on Project Runway. Several stated they were looking for something exotic in their models, and it wasn't the "commercial" pretty girl. Exotic, as in different, unusual, maybe even that hard look that Krista has.

Didnt Krista pull the look of "Grace Jones" or wasnt she compared to someone, that I also think has a "scary" look? In the end we do know its Tyra's show, and Tyra has done a great job at promoting different looks for cover girls! imo It still drives me crazy when she seems to be easier on some of the models - or sets up some for failure...from what we see on the show.

At this point they can change the name from ANTM to "Mean and Meaner".

The show isn't over yet, but I just can't believe they praised Krista for looking like a guy!! The poor girl is unattractive. The one thing she has going for her is she's really, really thin, that's about it. They are trying to change what is considered pretty in America, and I just can't stand it anymore. I know beauty is subjective, but come on, some things are universal, and Krista isn't beautiful in the photos. Enough already.

This photo sort of tells it all... frown, pretty smile, pretty smile.

In that photo, Krista definitely doesn't look pretty or even nice. I really like Raina's looks (her eyes are phenomenal) and actually Angelea looks pretty in that pic. (I think she is pretty as long as she doesn't open her mouth... Angelea would be a lousy spokesmodel.) Please post updates as I won't be able to watch this show tonight and it looks like the final hour won't be aired on Friday as a repeat (as the rest of the season has been).

I don't think that pic of Krista is that attractive. Raina's isn't bad but she's not looking into the cam.

Krista: "You came off to me as a bouncy, it was like you were walking on air. It seemed real." - Andre "You were commercial but high fashion at the same time. Just a little tiny bit of cheese in it that I would have liked you to pull back." - Tyra Raina: "You are heavy-footed. Yet you smiled. It was cute, it slightly worked at times. Other times it didn't." - Miss J "You were freshness, happiness, there was air in your hair. I happen to like the Clydesdale clomp." - Tyra

I think Krista looks mad in the ad.

Someone needs to apologize to Raina for the outfit she was forced to wear to the judging.

Duh!! I think Raina should've won, but this is TYRA'S SHOW!!! At least she tried to hide the fact that an African American woman would win this time, by not stacking three of them in the finale.

Did anyone else think it looked like they tried to make up Raina to look pretty awful for the Cover girl shoot. I didn't think it was possible to make her look bad but they managed, and Kookiebird, I agree, that outfit was awful, gee, does anyone see a pattern here. Oh well, it's just a show, and like Costacat said, it's Tyra's show.

I find it hard to believe that Raina didn't take a better picture for the Cover Girl ad. I saw her facing the camera with a nice Cover Girl smile several times during the shoot. And the two images just aren't comparable quality wise. Krista's is sharp with reflections and definition, and Raina's lip gloss doesn't even show up on her's. Almost looks air brushed. And come on, you can dress up a 26 year old woman to try to make her look 17, but she still looks 26.

I don't even want to watch. It was clear Krista was the planned winner for the last few shows- I told my DH that is what everyone here thought and he was shocked by the last fews shows seeing how she was favored. Raina was my favorite from day one and I love her look, but that isn't why I am angry- Krista has a hardness to her looks that I just never found appealing and I am really disappointed. In addition, if they don't bring Miss Jay back I think it is time to stop watching.

Oops! Sorry guys- I didn't notice my son Zachyd had logged in on my laptop- no, he doesn't have a DH ; - ) In fact he doesn't watch much reality, unlike me. It is my disgust that was posted above....

Megs!! Hugs!!! (And yes, I was wondering how Zach managed to get a DH at such a young age! LOL!) Yes, it was apparent Krista would be the winner. I don't find her attractive at all and I'd love to be a fly on the wall as Seventeen magazine tries to figure out how to make her look like a teen. I've loved Raina's look from the beginning and thought she was definitely a contender. But of course Tyra couldn't let THAT happen!

I just saw Joanie, runner-up for Cycle 6, on a commercial for a new house renovation show on the DIY network. She was introduced as "Carpenter Joanie Dodds."
