America's Next Top Winner Is...
John-John reports on the America's Next Top Model finale:
Aminat, Allison, and Teyona began the episode reflecting on their rise through the competition.
The girls had to tackle the kiss of death -- the Covergirl commercial.
Aminat was up first. She did an all right job after some pointers from Jay Manuel.
Allison was next. She was a little nervous, and it showed the first run through, but she wound up doing a good job.
Teyona was last. The pressure got to her. She was the only contestant to cry on set. Despite her breakdown, she got her composure back for the photo shoot.
Later that night, Teyona got down on herself because of her performance.
The next day the three girls found out that the top two would compete for the title in a Rosa Cha fashion show.
Teyona's commercial was first. She really fumbled. She started to cry in front of the judges. She quickly recovered with her photo, and the judges gushed over it.
Allison was next. The judges said Allison was "OK." The judges also liked her photo.
Aminat was next. The judges liked her commercial the best, but her photo was the weakest.
The first finalist was Allison. The second finalist was ... Teyona.
Aminat said she would continue to work at modeling.
Next, Allison and Teyona went to a photo shoot for Seventeen Magazine.
The next day the girls went to the fashion show. Allison and Teyona looked the best that they had during the entire season.
The fashion show was pretty entertaining. The third and final walk was extremely comical. The girls were covered in something that resembled mud or oil. They slid across the floor on their stomach. It was very sexual. At one point Teyona's weave fell out. She didn't sweat it. She twirled her weave through the air and worked with it.
After the girls got cleaned up, and Teyona reattached her hair, the judges critiqued their entire body of work.
Tyra remarked that the two were neck and neck. (I have to admit that I didn't hear much of a difference between the judges critiques.
Teyona won! Allison was very gracious. She congratulated Teyona.
What do you think of the results?

Does no one else think that Teyona waving her weave around like she was in a rodeo was nasty? How is this different than whirling an oil covered wig around? I wouldn't be surprised if the designer was furious - who wants their audience to possibly be smacked in the face with an oil soaked weave?
Allison got robbed. Allison's final photos, ad and even walk were better than Teyona's, and the fact that she just kept progressing by leaps and bounds, rather than stagnating and even falling apart like Teyona... What were they thinking? I guess this is why her "top" models don't get as far as some of her second (or third, or fourth) runners up do.
