ANTM finales are always bittersweet because we've been working up to this moment all cycle, but then that means that we won't have this ridiculousness that we love to laugh at next week. As far as winners go, I'm rooting for Anya, because the girl can't take a bad picture, and because she seems like a really genuinely nice person. But more than anything, I'd love to hear her try and talk her way through her visits to factories/Walmarts in the "My Life as a Cover Girl" spots.
8:58 I'm glad that Paulina redeemed herself by saying "This isn't 'plus size.' This is beautiful."
8:57 HOLY FUCKING SHIT ALSDKFJSADL;FKJSADLF;KASDJNFLKSADHSAKL;FJADLKF;J. YAAAAAAAY for plus size girls!
8:56 Here it comes! I'm actually torn right now. I feel like Tyra, when she says, "I woke up this morning and I knew who I was voting for tonight. But now I'm up in the air."
8:53 I'm a little offended by Paulina calling Whitney a "ham." I don't like the pork connotation.
8:47 I love when Tyra gives a compliment and couches it in "You remind me of me."
8:46 Everyone got a costume change except Whitney?
8:44 Jeez, Whitney's dress is making me nervous.
8:42 Boy models? Also, where's Orangella already!?
8:41 Oh, this is a new weave for Tyra!
8:35 Where's Orangella already!?
8:30 WHITNEY! Dude, a plus size girl could take this. Also, Whitney is like totally thinner than me. Does that make me family size?
8:27 Whitney's picture is pretty, but I think she looks stupid in it the way that Paulina thinks Anya looks stoopid.
8:23 Holy friggin' shit! Versace! They're actually going to be wearing a real designer's clothes in a runway show tonight? But more importantly: We're totally gonna get some Donatella action!
8:21 Tyra just said to Fatima, "You have to do that eye squint. You have to smile with your eyes, and squint them and make them smaller, but keep them open, because your eyes are already small." What the hell kind of advice is that?
8:18 OK, again, not to be a bish, but I think that Fatima is vastly overestimating her relatability. I, for one, can not relate growing up "in a shack," being a virgin, having female circumcision, being as thin as a rail, and not having "travels" documents.
8:17 Why can't anyone pronounce arrivederci?
8:14 Hey, i never noticed that Jay Manuel wears a gold band on his ring finger. Does he have a life partner? Haha! "Life partner" is such a gay term, and I don't mean gay in a homosexual way.
8:10 Now that Anya is crying, and her eyelids are red, she looks super albino.
8:07 Billboard in Times Square! Oh, here comes Tootie.
8:06 Anya, don't chop your finger off!
8:05 Not to be a bish, but Fatima needs to work on her skin. I mean, this is a modeling competition.

I bet Anya cries gumdrops, or something equally sweet and bizarre.
Yay live blogging!
Why did they bring Saleisha back? She's just hanging out for no purpose
Yay, the post we've all been waiting for! Team Whitney, all the way.
awwww...Anya is so sweet, but the crying makes me fearful for her in the modeling industry.
Phew! I was nervous!
Whit is winning. I know it.
Yay! I love a live blog!
I think Anya takes great pics, but the one of her in the white diaper wrap-around thing is AWFUL. She looks like Celine Dion was hit by a shovel.
Anyone. But. Fatima.
Anyone notice the lackluster response to Shaliesha's entrance?
I still can't believe that Saleisha won.
Whitney! If only for being forced to hear "you seem so fake" through out the cycle
@NOLAgirl: I can't believe she still has such terrible hair.
Okay, y'all are gonna hate me, cuz I'm jumping in and I haven't watched the rest of the season. But WHAT is UP with that chick's ACCENT?
That's it, I promise. Now I just watch and listen.
Dang! I wish I could stay, but Anya's accent makes it impossible.
Anya shed tears. She's crying. WOW. She seems so sunshine and rainbows, poor girl. I would have been swaying back and forth in a corner muttering "Easy, breezy, beautify, Covergirl" over an dover and over and over...
@AndYourLittleDogToo: That too!
@AndYourLittleDogToo: ....that's exactly it. O.O
@RyanB: Hah. They don't know why she won, either. Nobody likes a muppet in a wig.
@formerlyzivah: She's from Mars. Or Hawaii. That's all we really know.
Based on this edit so far, it's looking like Anya is next to go. I hope I'm wrong though - I want a Whit and Anya final two.
@MapleJam: They brought her back because she has nothing else to do.
@formerlyzivah: No one knows what's up with that accent. It's the mystery of the cycle
I don't think anyone recognized Saliesha without her Beatles hairdo.
"What do you call that hair style?"
"Arthur."
@Sophie:
According to Jenna (Cycle . . . whatev) she doesn't have to 'spew rainbows' :)
Love that line
@Geminijinx07: Yeah, specially because they keep making a strange threat about what will happen if they are because they are "best friends." What are they talking about? Are they fucking?
@NotIt: They always do the bring back last season's winner for inspiration thing. This show is crazy in its predictability.
Is anyone from Boston? News 7 is obsessed with ANTM because Fatima is from Boston - yet another reason I don't want her to win
WHITNEY WHITNEY WHITNEY!! Her reaction to Saleisha was hilarious. She was like, "Oh, wow, great...."
@salmon.villa: Speak for yourself. Janice was my first girlcrush.
@jayca416: Tyra fixed her for that intelligent observation.
@RyanB: The accent is from being raised in Hawaii by deaf German dolphins.
Fatima doesn't make sense! Ha!
lashblashbrush
Jay's hair has always reminded me of the ice queen in Narnia.
@NotIt: See girls? This time next Cycle you too will be out of work and clinging to the last shreds of your 15 minutes of fame.
Jay's lipstick is not aging well.
@Topsyjane: Amazing.
Man these commercials suck. No one's bring the fierce.
Oh god, what is Anya wearing? I HATE vests!
@MapleJam: I know, right? It's like I'm rooting for a winner, but why? It does the winner no favors.
They totally let Mr. Wall-Mart look at Anya's nudie pics. He loves her.
YAY WHITNEY!
Why do I have to live on the west coast?!
OMG. ANYA. What the hell is she doing up there?
abrevadoce! Anya kills me.
Anya's first language...isn't English...right?
Anya fucking up the commercial is going to lead to a Whitney/Fatima walk off, y/y?
Hmm. Team Whit!
Jay's lovin Anya - good sign for her in the editing room!
The accent is now Eastern European. WTF
@marlove: agreed. Terrible clothes. I'm so negative! This is my 3rd negative comment. Boo me. This show brings out the bitch.
@Topsyjane: Thanks for making me spew my drink all over the cats. Dammit. That was awesome. And true.
Who wrote the script? Try saying Lash Blast over and over, yikes.
Is this online somewhere? I'm three hours behind in California!
@Jessi Ramsey: Sadly, I think it is.
No Fatima. I relate to Whi
