Yay for Saleisha!

She really deserves it. I'm genuinely happy with the selection. I'm sure Chantal will go on to do well in modeling, too.

So was last night's finale the most anti-climactic ending for anyone else?

I was bummed that Saleisha won...I really think she has the same two looks in all of her photos. But mid-way through the episode, they played the Cover Girl commercial that the three girls shot and Saleisha was the most featured so I kinda knew she would win. :(

Also, the incident with the stilt-walker was not Chantal's fault. At judging, Tyra made it sound like Chantal ran into the guy, but I played it back and the wind blew the train of her dress into the stilts. Pick on her for her reaction, but not for something that was clearly not something she could have controlled.

well, considering Tyra's previous ties w/ Saleisha, umm no.

I really hope a rival cosmetics company snatches Jenah (and Lisa for that matter) up and they actually have careers.

Also...Saleisha...please please PLEASE grow out that haircut. Yipes.

What are Tyra's previous ties to Saleisha?

Voila

Plus, Saleisha was in a national Wendy's commercial and apparently ANTM has a clause that contestants cannot have appeared in a "national campaign."

agreed. my sisters and i were like "oh" when Salisha was announced the winner. I hope that both Jenah and Chantal will both go on high fashion careers because they both deserved it more than Salisha...imho

I'm sorry, but none of those girls look like Saleisha. Saleisha's previous modeling was not secret, b/c I know that some girls mentioned it....but I fail to see the resemblance [except maybe in the last girl, in the Rami fashion show].

I haven't watched all season because I lost interest. I tuned in for the finale and when I saw a white girl and African American girl, I knew the latter would win. I still believe that it's rigged.

Danielle- black
Caridee- white
Jasleen- Hispanic
Saleisha- black

I can't remember who else there was but it seems there's a little method to choosing the winner.

well we had - Adrienne, Yoanna, Eva, Naima and Nicole. Yoanna's mom is from Mexico, but we never really heard about that until Jaslene won & everyone said she was the first Hispanic winner.

Also, isn't Naima half black, a quarter white, and a quarter hispanic?

Wikipedia says:

Her father is Mexican, Indian and African-American, while her mother is Irish and African-American.

It's a sew-in weave. Her natural hair was never 'cut' for the show.

What did they do w/ it? Shove it up underneath? Sorry but I am dumb to the business of weaves.
