I hated her attitude- she always had something negative to say about other people in the house, particularly the bodies of the other girls. And I thought her walk on the catwalk suuuuuucked- way too bouncy. As Paulina said, Anya looked like a model and Whitney looked like a ham.

Ok, apparently I'm the only person to have an opinion on this topic. Fine, fine, I understand!

I didn't watch ANTM, but I feel your frustration, TPS! It's unfortunate that a not nice person won. Bad attitudes suck.

Is this her?

Oh yes, that's her. She's so pageant-y fake, and the judges told her so all the time, and.... she won anyway! Booooooooo! Booooooooooooooooooooo!

Whitney makes me question my commitment to sparkle motion. And all things Tyra.

This had to be fixed. Like Selisha, Whitney will never get a real job. She can't even walk! Her "walk" tonight was utter crap. UTTER CRAP.

Fixed! FIXED

Revolution! Revolution! I'm going to run a coop and throw Tyra off ANTM!

I must say, I thought the runway show tonight was beautiful- gorgeous clothes, GORGEOUS men!

i saw so happy last week when Dominique got the boot.
Fatima had to go and Anya was great, i would have been happy if either one of them won, but Anya is going to get tons of work nno matter what. She didn't have to win, she got a great portfolio out of it and she looks amazing.
Whitney is going to try and really work it and for a full sized model, this kind of leg up in the industry makes a huge difference. She could end up the next Emme.

She wanted it more.
But can i say again how happy i was that Dominique got her big mouth shut down? Her personal pep talks were killing me. The only down side was not getting to see spritely pure Anya cut loose and beat her in a howling rage.

I sort of wanted Domanique to win. I liked her crazy ass.

Just her hair was grounds for dismissal.
That was just bad bad hair. And she couldn't even dress herself.

The hair was all Tyra's fault! She looked better before the makeover, for sure.

Enh...Whitney won because they wanted to give it to a "fattie." (What is she...like a size 8? )

I actually liked Whitney. Anya was probably the more commercial choice, but she bored me.

I can't believe they didn't fix Dominique's missing tooth. They fixed that other snaggletoothed girl!

She could not work the stuff on top of her head.
i liked a lot of the girls this time, but each one had such an obvious flaw that you knew they had to go but still it was a shock (sorry, Lauren, you fucking psycho frankenstein). i don't know what i thought if Anya in the beginning but she just got prettier and prettier. Those b&ws really brought out her eyes.
On preview, i agree, she didn't bring it.

Do you think Paulina is taking over?

I HOPE Paulina takes over. I love her. Everything she says makes sense to me.

What about that crazy anorexic girl?
She grossed me out on so many levels.

i have always loved Paulina.

Which one, Allison?

They spent $30,000 on that snaggletoothed girl. And 12 hours in the chair. Ugh.

I LOVE Paulina. She's gorgeous. I love her style. I love that she's been married to Ric Ocasek since forever. She's awesome.

On preview: $30K???? For reals? Holy macaroni!

Was that her name? The one who ate jello with A1? Just typing that makes me barfy.

I love Paulina too. She is one of the most beautiful women, I think. I should watch just so I can see Paulina. She is SO beautiful! I read an interview with her recently, and she sounds incredibly down to earth.

Anya was my choice too. :(

i only wanted Anya to win so i could hear her all of next year doing "My Life as a Cover Girl." i'm gonna miss her perky pidgin.

I rarely agree with you on reality shows, TPS, but this is one of those improbable instances... Aside from being annoying, Whitney was consistently useless in photo shoots and did the men's magazine thing that the judges used to hate so much. She was never able to overcome the criticisms leveled at her the entire competition, and it really felt like Tyra at least just gave up on trying to make her actually functional. That runway walk was ridiculous. Just as the judges said, Anya was a far stronger high fashion candidate but also had a really fun flair to her. And I understand the criticism of her runway walk, but I thought she looked fantastic on the first pass. Anyway...

The whole construction of the show's game is broke though: a ton of photo shoots whittle out the runway stompers and screen divas, then they're left with a gaggle of girls that are train wrecks in those categories. And that's what they get judged on in the final set of challenges. Come on. Srsly.

I loved Paulina as well. She said the most terrible things about all the contestants, but did so in a way that made her endearing to even the people getting skewered. Twiggy was nasty; Paulina was gracefully stone cold. And she as in gold form during the finale.

However, maybe the most memorable part of this season was when they finally got off the "models have to be smart too" nonsense and openly kicked a girl off because she was too smart. We all knew it was true when Victorya went, but now they know it's true too.

Damn I didn't know this was on last night! Lucky I don't have plans for tonight...

openly kicked a girl off because she was too smart

Who, anorexic Allison? I didn't get that she was too smart, just arrogant and too analytical in her posing (thinking about it too much so it didn't look natural, photos were boring).

I was going for Katarzyna, but after she left I was rooting for Whitney - mainly because she didn't succumb to the skinniness, but also she annoyed me the least of the final three. Every time Fatima opened her mouth I wanted to slap her, and Anya is so ditzy she's a frontrunner for Princess Dozey Cow with Cassie from Skins.

I had the same thought years ago, but I don't really think it's got any worse. There's always been too much focus on the photos.

After Lauren was gone I stopped caring, except to hate Fatima.

Hmm.
It makes sense since she was the only one who actively tried to maintain her weight, not freaking out as much as past girls.
She still seems like the best all around candidate if she learns to relax and lose the fakeness, since she can speak and pose and walk and won't have to starve herself.

Ugh, I've watched it now. Whitney's speech at the end was totally gag-inducing, but I think she was the better pick for Cover Girl/ Seventeen. I also think Anya will get work anyway. But WTF was up with Anya's second dress? That was just mean.

Hmmm.

Oh, snap. That's pretty suckful. I did notice there wasn't a go-see in Rome, and this makes Whitney's speech at the end even more puke-worthy.

They ramped it up with this cycle - Paulina, Elle, Badgley Mischka, Versace - they must be spending a fortune.
