Probably my least favorite winner in a long time.

It's hard to say. I think both are pretty blah.

I don't know if I will watch next season.

I was shocked that Nigel and Tyra called Nicole's walk "signature", it needed help. I'm not a model (by any stretch of the imagination) and I don't walk like that. Her walk was just atrocious (IMPO).
But I stand by my opinion that they choose the person that "needs" the contract not "deserves" the contract. I'm sure Laura already has a contract with an agency.
It broke my heart to see Laura crying, she just broke down. I've seen the other girls cry, but not to the extent of how Laura was. Poor girl.

*Ditto on all counts.

*I do like Nicole better than I did at the beginning of the season. I knew it would end this way, but I held out so much hope. It was a wrap from when Nigel called Nicole a "high fashion model." Oh well, we love you, Laura!! lol

*I was excited for the update on Dani. I saw her in Essence and so it was cool to hear about it and know what they were talking about. I saw Eugenia from Cycle 7 in the same issue. And did anyone else catch Ya-ya on the Macy's commercial? I wonder if Tyra made sure that would play specifically during an ANTM commercial break.

*Aaaaand does anyone else find it weird that the winner of the petite season is the only one tall enough to have been in a regular season??? Shoot, she's technically taller than Eva (5'6.5")!!!

I saw that! I let out a squeak

Ok, I'm absolutely convinced now that this season was all about saving $$. They BROUGHT THE LOSERS BACK for the fashion show?? Really?? You actually couldn't afford enough to hire a couple of real models? Although I do really think it will be good for them - there were probably quite a few people in that audience that could get them somewhere - but STILL - SRSLY???

This is the first season I've really wished there could be two winners, because I liked them both. I think the right person won, but I liked Laura better.

Ditto everything you said.

I loved them both, but I thought Laura was more of the "total package" than Nicole, even though Nicole's pictures are consistently beautiful. And that walk... what WAS that??? I thought Miss Jay was going to be all over her for sure. I have no idea how they thought that was "signature walk", unless she's a linebacker. Laura, on the other hand, rocked it.

In person... Laura has the better personality, but Nicole looks more like a model. At judging, though, I thought they both looked awful. The hair was gross and the sparkles just made them look night-club-sweaty. And Nicole's dress was ugly.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend completely ruined the finale for me. I had meetings that evening, so I had to watch the show later that night and he blurted out the winner when it popped up on the news on his computer. He HATES the show, but he felt really bad. He assumed I'd already seen it.
