Who Will Be ANTM???????

honey · Gucci

either amanda or eva. i'm not sure. but i pray it's not ya-ya, if it is i will probably throw something at my t.v.

It can be anybody but Amanda, for some reason she annoys the hell out of me. I can't stand that her hair is so blond (too blonde) and her eyes are so blue. The coloring is off or something.

eva deserves to win. she's short, and doesn't really look like a model to me, but at least she's interesting. and she takes better photos than the other two. i agree with you wildflower--they screwed up by dying amanda's hair platinum blonde. she looks scary. i'm not a yaya fan. this season hasn't been good at all. i think i asked this on FH already, but do any of you watch project runway on bravo? i love it!

I caught an episode last week and I loved it! Plus I thought Austin (sp?) was the coolest.

I also caught an episode of ANTM last week and I agree that Yaya has no reason to be there. I guess I would say Eva as well...Amanda has freakin' white hair!

tosh · BCBG

I think Amanda is going to win....and I'm not happy about it.

Fireball · BCBG

I hope it is not Eva. I think she is so unatractive, she has a pig nose! She's not cute, doesn't take good picture and if she were selling a product it would really turn me off.

I thin that Ya-ya is so beautiful, too bad about her bad skin though. I think this may be a reason why she doesn't win. Although, I do want her to win.

Amanda scares me. She looks like a Nordic ghost with that blonde hair, pale skin and icy eyes.

UGH I can't believe Eva won... sorry I just wanted anyone but her. I guess I wasn't cheering for anyone this year. She's just sooooooooooooooo NOT high-fashion. I also find her face slightly irritating.

wildflower930 · BCBG

I was pretty happy that Eva won, although I thought it was going to be Yaya. I loved it when Eva and Amanda were called up and Amanda had this smirk on her face like I got this in the bag and then her name wasn't called and she just stood there stunned.

Fireball · BCBG

Eva is so unattractive. Yuck. I've lost all respect for the cracked out judges.

honey · Gucci

overall this was not a good season. i was rooting for eva by default. i hated ya-ya. she was so full of herself. and call me insensitive but i got really sick of amanda's sob story. in her exit interview when she was going on about how her family could have used the money i had no sympathy. i was just like go home, i've heard your song and dance before.

i felt really bad for her. especially since she had done so well throughout all of the challenges and because she really needed the money/contract. it must have also been frustrating for her since they obviously chose eva over amanda based solely on her in-person personality/style.

i guess i'm confused by this show/competition. i have watched every season and each time i feel like they can't make up their mind about how they define "america's next top model" -- sometimes they say that girls need to be cut because they can't do runway (when i think "top model" i immediately think runway, so this i can understand), but then they cut people even though they are stellar on the runway and have a very "couture" look and keep people who are more "personable" or could better relate to generic non-model americans. i guess when i think "top model" i don't think someone who is doing cover girl ads - i think someone like kate moss, or a model who is doing couture runway shows and high fashion photo spreads. doing ads for sephora and covergirl doesn't a "top model" make in my mind. if they are looking for someone with extreme versatility, that is something completely different. i guess maybe that's why i have a hard time with the people they choose to stay/cut sometimes. i just don't see eva as being "high fashion/couture" -- at best, i see her doing makeup ads and maybe a shoot for Baby Phat or something like that. amanda definitely had a more "top model" look in my opinion. and ya-ya, as much as i detested her personality, had the "whole package" if that was what they were looking for.

i don't know why i keep watching this show! it annoys me so much!

That is so true! Eva does not strike me as being high fashion at all. She is not even that attractive imo. She is the same height as Kate Moss, but that's about it in terms of having the whole model package. I hated Ya-ya's smugness but I thought she would have been a better choice for high fashion. I was so disappointed with this season! What were the judges thinking??

tosh · BCBG

I read a spolier on Televison w/o Pity but I was still hoping it was a mistake and Eva wouldn;t win. Although I did find Yaya to be way too arrrogant, I think she is much more of a "top model." Eva just doesn't have the poise or the grace.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

Ugh! I was so disappointed Eva won.

jen · Kate Spade

I think high fashion when I hear top model too. But really, she wins a covergirl contract, that's not high fashion so maybe she fits their standards. I think the coloring of Eva's eyes are nice and her cheeks are a nice shape. Amanda looked like a crack addict...sorry...that's what I think. Yaya was just nothing special, just any girl on the street.

Fireball · BCBG

Eva looks like Tyra's ugly little brother.

Have I mentioned how disappointed I am that she won???

this made me laugh out loud. the finale was the only episode i've seen this season, so i wasn't too aware of the finalists' personalities. but i would have chosen yaya b/c of her poise, elegance, and grace.

Why why why why why why why?

This morning I saw on Regis and Kelly that Eva's last name is something like PIGford. How appropriate.
