Anya was robbed!

I don't often share the specifics of my TV watching habits. Mostly because they border on embarrassing. But I can't keep quiet after last night's travesty of an America's Next Top Model finale.

(A) The final two should have been Anya and Fatima.
I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories, but there's no way those final Cover Girl commercials and photo shoots were actually their best. Except for Whitney's, that is. I do believe those were Whitney's best. But Anya looked like a freakin' troll in her photo. They seriously couldn't find a better photo of her? And there was seriously not another shot of Fatima where her eyes weren't practically rolled up in her head? I call canned ending bull shit!

Plus, the commercials are totally ridiculous. I don't understand why they don't edit together the best pieces into their best commercial -- AS THEY WOULD WITH A REAL COMMERCIAL. Watching both Anya and Fatima just stare blankly into the camera was painful, and I couldn't agree more with Paulina that Whitney just seemed like another Miss America pageant contestant. That shouldn't have even counted.

(B) Whitney looked abso-freakin-lutely ridiculous on the runway.
Her walk was so forced and trampy. Yes, Anya was a little stiff, but she looked much more like a Versace model than Whitney did. They key word is Versace. Not once did the judges take into account the designer they were modeling for. Tyra can talk all she wants about how she had a severe walk and that made her stand out, but this is not some random first runway show that got you noticed. This is Versace. Where you only end up if you've already been noticed (or after Tyra promises Donatella a segment on her talk show... or something similarly bribery-oriented). And you don't stomp down the runway like Whitney did, unless you're modeling boots... which she was not.

(C) Versace's inolvement... smart or dumb? Hard to tell.
I can hear it now: "OK. Fine. We'll do it for the publicity. But we refuse to directly align Donatella or anyone else from Versace with this joke of a modeling competition."

I love that no one from Versace even agreed to be on the show. But they still agreed to put their clothes on the show, so they've still got that to wrestile with. Although they did kind of look like the rejects of Donatella's scrapped H&M line, didn't they? Especially Whitney's second dress. I think I cut the front of one of my Barbies' dresses when I was little and created that same look.

(D) Paulina, please come back!!
I love how Paulina contradicted almost everything Tyra said -- and how she made so much more sense than the Tyra every did. And she even had this awesome "Why do we even bother?" look when they did the individual shots for the final judging scene. Awesome! Love her!!

OK... I'm done. And I don't really feel better. Just a little more shallow than normal. But don't think that doesn't mean I'll refrain from posting about future reality show results. Travesties! All of them!!
