Of the two finalists, I prefered Natasha, but Jaslene did take some amazing pics this season, especially the "weirdo" and "death penalty" ones.

I'm glad Jazz won of the top three. She deserved it. I do think Renee looks too old...but I think she was let go for being a b**ch...the b**ch has ever won ANTM.

I still think Brittany took the best pictures, tho...she should've been in the finals.

I find it totally ironic that Tyra is the one who had Renee's hair whacked off, adding to her "older" appearance, and then criticizes her for it.

Nothing Tyra does surprises me...

...and I think she actually is an alien.
and that's why I freakin' love this show.

Renee was completely robbed (and Tyra did make her look older with that awful hair cut).... i honestly don't think that Natasha is that pretty, her Cover Girl picture looked really really awkward... Jaslene completely deserved the win

Oh, I had nothing but contempt for Renee and loved seeing her get shot down. I wanted the final two to be Jaslene and Natasha. I liked Natasha slightly better, but I can see why they chose Jaslene.

Jaslene takes the same picture over and over. She may be okay as a runway model but she is not a promising commercial model. I liked her until she made the b*tchy comment about wanting to pull all of Natasha's hair out, or something to that effect. Jaslene was in the top 2 at that point, and should have been able to handle the pressure with more grace than that. Still think Caridee is the only "winner" with much chance - mainly because she is fairly bright.

oh, it's not about winners and losers anyway...none of these girls will be top models...it's about bitchy girls and dashed dreams! Yay!

Yay for Jaslene! I was so happy she won--I think she's super...

While I'm happy for Jaslene, I thought Natasha really deserved it. Jaslene's Cover Girl photo was the worst of the three and heer commercial was only marginally better than Natasha's. As for the runway, I found Jaslene to be somewhat forgettable. She appeared nervous and stiff at the beginning and only got slightly better, but she just didn't stand out to me. I thought Natasha really worked it especially encountering the problems throughout the show. It's true she fizzled toward the end, but I thought she had a lot more charisma. Personality-wise, Natasha had everyone beat. While Jaslene had her charming moments, she was not above the cattiness and backbiting, especially towards the end. Let's not forget how eagerly she jumped on the bandwagon to discredit Natasha through gossip, rumors and false assumptions. While Jaslene had a couple of fantastic photos in the beginning, I thought she pretty much flat-lined for the rest of the season and had little versatility. Natasha had a better portfolio overall. And Natasha always took criticism and personal attacks in stride, especially at panel. Despite the outcome, I felt Natasha truly was the Top Model of the season. I hope she has a successful career.

I was so relieved when Renee got dropped. Not quite as satisfying as Melrose's exit, but still entertaining, nonetheless. I loved how she made all those vile comments about Natasha's walk, then turns around and hugs Natasha and tells her to "win it for the Mamas". Whatever bitch...

"hope she never has to smile in a photoshoot, because she goes from model-hot to Ugly-Betty's-sister-Hilda-quirky in nothing flat"

Ha! I was thinking the same thing of Jaslene's Cover Girl photo. I actually winced when they showed it in the final reveal. Yikes!

"I liked her until she made the b*tchy comment about wanting to pull all of Natasha's hair out, or something to that effect"

Oh no, you took that as b*tchy? She said it with a smile and laugh-it was clearly not b*tchy at all.

Renee's a bitch with a capital C...and bi-polar too...Natasha should have won...she was by far the prettiest and the most interesting...Am I the only one who thout Jaslene's statement "I may not be the girl next door, but I'm the girl down the block, in 'yo hood" was idiotic???...and this is coming from a Natasha fan, and most of what Natasha says makes no sense. But even she doesnt soud as stupid as that statement...

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/17/07 at 4:27pm

I'm not saying Jaslene is an Einstein, but I don't think the statement was idiotic at all. We have a certain stereotype of what "the girl next door" stands for. And it's not Jaslene. She knows it. She knows she's a girl from the 'hood.

How is that idiotic?

i thought that statement was really funny from Jaslene...

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/17/07 at 4:36pm

Me too. And not knowing her personally, I don't know how "book" smart she is. I bet she's street smart, and I like that.

i still can't believe that Natasha was in the final two... i really didn't think that anything she did was THAT great...

[lildogs]

Posted: 5/17/07 at 4:46pm

And I don't mean to sound tacky, but Natasha didn't look so great in that black leotard she wore under her clothes in the last runway--kinda out of shape--which is fine, but she's trying to be a supermodel and a schlubby tummy ain't the way to go.....

[Jane2]

Posted: 5/17/07 at 5:26pm

I have nothing against Natasha-she was a breath of fresh air, and funny. But aside from a winning smile and dimples, what I saw was a not very tall, potbellied, slouching postured woman with no neck. That sounds really mean, but I'm only pointing those things out because as lildogs said-this is a competition for models...

i was pissed renee didn't win! she had such strong pictures!!! and tyra did make her look older which pisses me off! If you look at that photo shoot they did for the mens and womens mags, renee had long hair and she look gorgeous! THen on top of that they chose jaslene. bleh. I wanted Natasha to win if Renee didn't, Natasha took some good pictures, and was all around better who Jaslene, who only has ONE LOOK! But they never pick who i want to win so who cares lol. Can't wait for next season!

Jane2... i completely agree...

Oh, I had nothing but contempt for Renee and loved seeing her get shot down.

Me too. On the first episode, I thought "Oh, she's pretty." But every time she opened her mouth, she was just such a bitch. It was kind of funny, all the hypocritical things she said.
