anybody watching ANTM's finale?

Yes, this is one of my shameful pleasures. Someone tell me I’m not alone.

I’m still pissed that Heather and Bianca were kicked off. I guess I’m rooting for Jenna now. Saleisha and Chantal annoy me to no end. I think Saleisha might win, though. Blech.

So ashamed that you can’t even spell it out, eh? :smiley:

America’s Next Top Model (I had to look it up). :o

[sup]Wifey and I love it… I’m SO ashamed…[/sup]

Hah! I knew I wasn’t alone.

Tyra Banks is so annoyingly self-righteous. I wish Janice Dickinson were still on the panel.

Not to mention that Tyra is so hot our TV is in severe danger of bursting into flames…

It’s a win-win for us: wifey is interested in fashion, etc. and I get mucho eye-candy… both Tyra and the would-be models, and the fact that they are usually SO dumb adds humor. Watching it now, as a matter of fact,

What on earth is with that enormous front bun thingie they keep sticking on Saleisha’s head? She is a hairstyle trainwreck, IMO. Sure, the extensions she was wearing at the begining were fake as hell and had to come out, but that straight bowl cut they’ve got her in hideous. But it is not improved by the enormous front bun thingie.

I thought there was almost no question as to who would win. The question IMO was which of the Swedish Stewardess Blondes was going to be in the finals with Saleisha, because they weren’t going to have two virtually identical blondes competing against each other. And once they chose the blonde, it was clear who the winner would be, just based on performance to date.

Why no, I don’t watch it, why do you ask? :wink:

I love America’s Next Top Model and I am not ashamed. I especially love how they keep trying to outdo themselves each season with the increasingly insane photo shoots and runway shows. Having the guys on stilts in the show was brilliant, both for its inherent craziness, and because it was inevitable with the long flowing dresses that something would get messed up.

Also, is it just me or was the only audience at the fashion show the judges? I wasn’t paying a huge amount of attention because I was doing other stuff while watching TV, but it seemed like the only people there were the judges on their little platform. It was the same way with the fashion show two seasons ago with Caridee and the “ghost bride” fashion show that took place in some tunnel thing that there was absolutely no place for an audience to be.

I love that they both pretend it’s a big deal to be on America’s Next Top Model and pretend that the winner will actually go on to be a top model, but they also obviously don’t care about making almost any of the fashion shows look real, since the audience is either obviously whatever random extras they pulled off the street, or the audience just isn’t there at all.

Woot!

Down to Chanteal and Saleisha (sure I spelled both of those wrong…) Who’s gonna win??

Uh, I can spoil that for you if you’d like . . . . :wink:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

This is WAY too cool!

And what I find hilarious about it is how they pretend with a straight face that those situations are things “real models” encounter, when they so obviously are not, as if it’s completely normal for models to be, say, hanging from a helicopter.

YES!!!

YES! YES!!!

Saliesha! or however it’s spelled… YES!!! Good choice, Tyra!

So… when will she be doing Playboy? I ask merely for information…

An ANTM in Playboy would be a step up for most of them. Seriously, I don’t think any of them have made it big, although Elise? from Cycle 1 is apparently a well-known face in Hong Kong ads. And Jaslene? I can’t understand a word she says. I think it’s all those teeth.

I agree those huge bun things are weird.

Did you guys see the show they’re starting in ANTM’s timeslot? :: shudders ::

I watch it religiously, every week. As soon as Heather was voted off (GRRR) my friend and I predicted

Saleisha would win.

But I’m addicted to the show. I think it’s getting lamer by the season, and it’s pissing me off. Tonight, I was especially annoyed because

Saleisha is so commercial, she’s already been in commercials! And usually Nigel hates commercial girls. And yet, he was arguing for her the hardest. Yeah, she’s a Cover Girl, but really she’s so commercial. Are we just going to give up the pretense that they’re looking for high-fashion? I can’t believe I’m so annoyed by this. I feel like there’s something wrong with me that I’m so annoyed.

ETA: I also watched Crowned tonight. I love it. Silent But Deadly?! That is comedy gold! And all the women are so ugly. This must be some sort of elaborate joke.

At least Heather and Bianca were INTERESTING. Seriously, the interesting girls never win anymore. Boo.

Jaslene I do not get at all… hot body, of course, but that girl has a serious case of the uglies. How she won, I do not know…

Because Jaslene takes a-mazing-ing pictures. To just look at her, she really is ugly. But the camera loves her. I think Heather had the same situation. I don’t think she’s particularly attractive until she gets in front of the camera.
