I don't disagree. I just don't think that because one contestant was choosen over another doesn't automatically mean it's okay to scream racism.
We don't really know HOW ANTM is picked, they don't really share that info. I would guess that Cover Girl has a huge stake in it. CG models seem to be perkier and outgoing. After the Naima disaster, they probably wanted to make sure that they had someone that would meet their image more. Especially after Eva- who I think is a very good spokesperson- Naima must've killed them. Nik, while certainly more outgoing than Naima, is still on the reserved side. As I stated earlier, Nik smiling just didn't look natural. Nicole fits CG much better. I'm sure Nik will still have a good career, if anything, maybe better, because she doesn't have the constraints that the winner would.
I don't know what other girls I would've choosen to win. Lisa took great photos- but I doubt that CG would want her antics associated with them, there's a great chance she could've embarssed them. She was also older and LOOKED it.
No one really stood out to me this season.
I think it's funny how none of the past winners/contestants have received the HUGE amount of success Tyra works it out to be. Andrienne only found some amount of fame b/c she's a trainwreck. Eva has done decently for herself, as has Tocarra, but no one has really vaulted up the modeling ladder.
