America's Next Top Model Cycle 12

[ASUADPi]

I was actually surprised by the choice, but not as much as last season (Teyona should have never won).
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.

Um, you took just about every single word right out of my mouth! haha! I agree 100% on all of this!

I felt the same way. I actually really liked them both, but I wanted Laura to win, because I liked her personality the best.

I'm not mad about the winner, I think she has beautiful photos...in fact, she probably lands in my top 5 favorite winners. But, I'm definitely surprised she won with that walk.
