Cycle 6 was the last cycle where the best ones made it to the end, and even then, because they were the best ones, a lot of people could have cared less if either Joanie or Dani won.
Both amazing, both winners.
After that, it felt like the best ones last out a lot more. Cycle 7, even though I didn't like Mel rose personality, she made it to the final two being pretty much the top runner the whole cycle. Then she lost to Caridee.....best one came in second...? Hmm.
THEN cycle 8 (which was fairly lack-luster anyways...) the final two were the best two....it could have gone either way, even though Natasha's look interested me more then Jaslenes. But I guess Jaslene deserved to win that one. Though the whole "tried out previously but didn't make it, then came back and won." LITTLE fishy in my opinion.
Cycle 9.....fixed from the begging. No doubt about it.
Cycle 10.....I don't think Whitney was a bad winner. She did do some decent pictures. Compared to other contestants, she definitely deserved top two. However, Anya ownd cycle 10 the whole cycle. Based on portfolio and performance, Anya should have won. Which falls into the "best one never wins" theory. I don't however think Whitney won because she was soly plus sized. Again, she deserved top two. She just didn't deserve to win.
Cycle 11......There were a lot of good girls this cycle...Sam beating out both Elina/Lauren Brie/Marjorie was a crock of s**t though. ;P
I like McKey's look, I think she improved a lot, but I don't think she was the best that cycle. She just didn't feel versatile. If it had come down to Analeigh and McKey, then I think it would have been a good final two. Both started out "eh" but got a lot better. McKey's a good winner though. O:
Cycle 12...Aminat beating out Fo/Celia/and Natalie.....NO, just, NO.
top five should have been like this:
1. Allison
2. Celia
3/4. Fo
4/3. Teyona
5. Natalie.
Teyona's photo's are still too hyped up to me. I would NOT say her portfolio was any better to make her 'top two/winner' then Fo/Celia. However, Teyona doesn't have something that the model industry is opposed against. Thus, she makes it over the other two. Even though, i'm sorry, Teyona looks ******** old in some pictures. neutral
But she didn't in person/show. Oh well.
When it comes down to final performance. I think Allison did a better walk, I think Allison had a better commercial, and I think Allison had a better portfolio. *shrug*.
And is it just me, or has it always been when its the final three.....The runner up get's called first, and the winner is the one that gets called second...? I think the only cycle that didn't happen was last with McKey.
Cycle 6: I agree about what you said. I was very happy with whoever won that cycle.
Cycle 7: I actually thought the only reason Caridee won, is because they found out she tried to kill herself once upon a time.
Cycle 8: I was so mad that Natasha didn't win! I really liked her more, over Jaslene. I have to say though, that Jaslene did have better pictures then Natasha through-out the whole cycle.
Cycle 9: So obviously fixed, dumb Tyra.
Cycle 10: Anya should of won instead of Whitney. Tyra got her way again, and a "full figured" model won for the first time. Anya reminded me of Natasha from cycle 8. <3
Cycle 11: It was a 'eh' kind of cycle. I thought the final two were boring, and I was kind of annoyed with Samantha, too bad she made it so far. Analeigh should of been in top two.
Cycle 12: I SO AGREE WITH YOUR TOP FIVE! and did Paulina really get fired by Tyra?
