I haven't followed it as much this season as others, but on beauty alone- I thought Fatima was definitely #1. Too bad she had an awful personality!!!

I think she won because Anya had no presence at all and could hardly talk. Her accent is really strong and it does make her sound "dumb" in a way .... I also think they really wanted a "full figured" girl to win ... They have been trying to get somebody that far for awhile and they all cracked so I think they probably thought that nobody would be as good as Wittney or get that far again lol .. so why not crown her ANTM ... also Whitney did way better on the last photo shoots, commerical and the runway. She beat Anya hands down! After seeing all that I was going to be mad if they gave it to Anya. She had no real presence on any of those final challanges (maybe somwhat on the commerical) but she bombed the fashion show .. Whitney Deffinitly stomped it to the DEATH! Go Wittel ... lol :) I am glad she won! :)

It's not like Anya wont have a carreer most of the models that get on that show end up having a Carrer if they want and esp. the ones that get far. She is a beautiful girl and will all she learned on ANTM I am sure she will do well. She was very high fashion!

I agree Fatima was really pretty but she was very Robotic in her doings and esp in her last commerical. She has been through a lot and I respect and admire her for that. I am sure she will keep improving and do a lot with her new found model skills. :)

I always get more and more frustrated with it each year because I see them kick off girls who I personally think could have delivered more at the end and I dont get why they are not there and we are left with the Anya's and Fatima's .. Uggh! Thanks Tyra! lol

I was surprised too, but she's who I was pulling for! I just don't think Anya had any presence or that "it factor" at the runway show, and that did her in. She also didn't have as much of a personality as Whitney- the kind needed for CoverGirl and for most modeling anyway.

I think she won because Cover Girl wanted a full-figured model.

I liked Katarzyna too, esp. with the shorter hair! Quite a name, too, huh? :)

Whitney won because fuller figured models are the "it" thing right now in advertising, and because Tyra's wanted a plus size to win for quite a few cycles now. I was sad to see her win over Anya; Whitney's attitude was so snide. I really didn't like her at all. I'm glad they didn't say anything about Anya's accent from the commercial. After all, Danielle had a VERY common accent, and she won her cycle, and Draglene has a super thick accent that makes it difficult to understand her at times, as well. Anyway, I knew Whitney was going to be in the top two when they kept letting her stick around even though she'd been on the chopping block several times...usually, if a girl's been in the bottom two multiple times, she gets sent home. Also, she had the same criticisms in nearly every panel! Anya was a hit at the 7up party, and won almost every challenge. Everyone loved her bubbly personality, she's gorgeous, and she takes lovely photos. The cycle was a set-up.


I was really surprised Katarzyna wasn't in the top three! I really think it's because her looks are "too generic" as far as models go, and they wanted something different (i.e., they wanted a plus size girl to finally win).


At any rate, I REALLY hope Paulina isn't back for future cycles. She's unnecessarily rude to the girls. There's a difference between being blunt with constructive criticisms, and being flat-out rude. She has zero tact.


I was so glad Fatima didn't win, though. I hated her from the start of the cycle, lol.
