Nicole went, in my eyes, from "I'm pretty sure she's autistic" to "she takes good photos" to "OMG I LOVE HER." I'm actually pretty confident that she will continue working in some capacity after the show because she just has that je ne sais quoi.
I always watch this with Mr. lisas, so I asked him if, as a het dude, he found the water orgy at the end appealing. He laughed at me. So there goes my only guess as to why they added it.
Is it just me or does it seem like Tyra has spent this entire season wacked out on Xanax and canned air? She's been less coherent than usual and can't focus her eyes.
So glad it came down to these two. I was rooting for Jen too, but those wonky eyes, like Kara's were the kiss of death.
These two, Nicole and Laura, are adorable, but this contest was in Nicoles hands the holw time. She is gorgeous and really can take pictures. I loved when her hair was blowing in Tyras face at the end and Ty Ty kept giving her the look. Now who will give Laura her own show?
The photo shoot at the very end of the episode had me cracking up.
Congratulations--you win!! Now it's time for your first photo shoot as the new winner--with TYRA, of course. We know who it always comes back to, don't we?
@LaMorena: That's the best moment in every cycle - the final shoot with Tyra.
Yes, the culmination of all your hard work, savage insults to your confidence, and wasted effort put into inane challenges. All so you can be in a picture! With me! TYRA!
@cinematheques: It's just to make sure the new model still knows her place. You may be the ANTM winner, but TYRA will still out-smize the SHIT out of you!
I've been rooting for Nicole since episode 1, which is usually the kiss of death for any reality show contestant. HOORAY FOR AWKWARD GIRL! The way the other girls treated her was so unnecessary. (I'm looking at you, Sundai and Erin.)
So I'm going to need to find somebody in my life to talk about Kentucky and castratin' bulls at least once a week from here on out. I'm going to miss my weekly Laura dose.
5'7" isn't short though. how is that petite? if i put on 3 inch heels i'm still only 5'5". if i put on 3 inch heels, my friends still laugh at me for being hobbit sized. i resent the premise of this entire cycle.
At first I felt bad for Laura because she was getting sent back to BFE, but then I remembered the non-winners often do better than the winners.
TEAM LAURA! I want her to get out!
That runway was ridiculous.
They brought all the other girls back! Obviously they couldn't put together a real show... it's like every season the final runway show gets less and less legit...
But I am happy that Nicole won even if she walks like an angry man.
@TurtleSpeak: Actually, they always have the other girls walk in the show. That way, no spoilers can leak about who the top two are. I'm just surprised they included them in the episode. I guess they needed more filler since there were only 2 finalists instead of 3.
@OneTwoPunch: Seriously. I don't know why this has been occupying so much of my brain space, but I really think Nicole is the most viable winner ever. Something about her is just so "model-y" and I think she may be the first one ever to find some sort of success. Or, this could all be wishful thinking on my part because I am a ginger and have a blind spot to the failings of all redheads.
@Spike49: Hearted. I also have a fondness for what I perceive as classic Irish-American good looks in other people. Reminds me of some of my family who are Irish-American, and also Ireland, a country I absolutely adore. Although her coloring could be really be from many different nationalities, making her very marketable. I love her fair skin and red hair, too! So refreshing.
