America's Next Top Model

Tonight's finale of America's Next Top Model is semi up in the air.  We all know Whitney isn't going to win, though it's impressive for a plus size model to have made it as far as she did.  The internet is abuzz with rumors that either Fatima or Anya will walk away with the win.  The BuddyTV readers have gotten behind Anya, with 51% feeling that she'll emerge victorious.  The girls will shoot one last Cover Girl commercial as well as participate in one final catwalk before Tyra names the winner.  I'll be here all hour updating live so keep refreshing and post your comments, too.   It's time to find out who wins America's Next Top Model, cycle 10!

The girls are talking about how glad they are to be in the final 3.  Uh, YEAH!  They're all saying that the show gave them confidence and made them realize that they're beautiful.  Wouldn't you at least sort of think you're hot if you try out for a show like this?

Yay!  Cover Girl print ad and tv commercial - in English, thankfully.  Saleisha is there to help the girls. 

Anya's crying in her makeup chair.  She's a mess.  The pressure's getting to her.

Fatima's tv commercial is up first.  She's like a robot, just trying to make it through her memorized script.  Whitney started rocky, forgetting her words but ended up turning in a good take.  Anya is also forgetting her words.  I don't understand how anybody can forget things at this point in the competition.  Never mind the fact that they were given their scripts the night before!

The girls did their beauty shots and they all look good.  This is going to be a tough panel.  Whit's commercial doesn't come out great in front of the judges but her photo is beautiful.  She kind of looks like Twiggy in it.  Fatima's commercial doesn't go much better.  She stumbles through it but most of the judges don't seem to care.  I don't love her photo, only because she looks older in it than she really is.  Anya also has problems but again, the judges get on her side.  They seem set in who they want to go to final 2. 

I spoke too soon.  They just came down hard on Anya's photo.  Paulina is a little mean for no reason sometimes, isn't she?

Anya is called first to final 2.  No shock.  Tyra eliminates Fatima.  WOAH!  That is a shock!

Anya and Whitney are filming the Seventeen cover shoot.  They both look great in their photos.  Toss-up.

Time for the fashion show, with designs by Versace.  Nice.

Anybody else having CW sound issues?  I thought it was my tv but it's only this channel.  That's aggravating.

Anya looked good on the runway, very confident.  Whitney was a little bouncy so we'll see what the judges say about that.  They both did so well though.  I'd say that I have no idea what the judges will decide except that Whitney has struggled all season while Anya has performed consistently well.

Panel.  Judges feel that Whitney had a stronger walk but didn't pose at the end as well as Anya did.  They're comparing photos, putting them side by side from each week.  I don't know.  Both really did have great weeks.  Whitney seems to have peaked early and leveled off while Anya had good weeks throughout but really shined in the end.  Tough call.

I'm so nervous to find out who wins!  The winner is ... Whitney.  Oh my god!  That's a shock and that's amazing.  I never saw that coming but I'm so happy for her.
