Was it really 'obvious' McKey would win ‘America’s Next Top Model’?
Lurch girl, the 'kooky' mixed martial artist who was forced to change her name, wins cycle 11
They have to deliver lines in Dutch. I think this will not bode well for McKey, who failed the last commercial test.
Sam does a lousy job, which is surprising because she’s usually so bubbly and effervescent.
McKey did a bit better than last time but not perfect.
Analeigh went blank. Couldn’t recall the lines. “Analeigh was the huge surprise today,” Mr. Jay said. Lost lines, was wooden. Then Jay fed her each line and she got better. “She takes direction well, she just doesn’t find it for herself.”
Photographer Jim de Yonker is there, no Jay to direct them.
Sam struggled. “She needed to be more clever or imaginative.”
“Analeigh can definitely work her body, that’s her best asset.”
“McKey is kooky in the head but I love that. You need that kookiness to get those shots and variety.”
Samantha’s best take from the CoverGirl commercial is not so great.
Nigel Barker: Samantha, you were distracted by yourself, it seemed. Choppy.
Photo “adorable” and “charming” to Paulina Porizkova but “forced” to Miss Jay and “not modely” to Tyra Banks.
Analeigh’s commercial is painful.
Paulina says she’s such a good actress, but this was awful.
Tyra says when Analeigh had teleprompter in other commercial she did a great job. Not here.
Paulina isn’t impressed by her photo: Looks to me like a headshot of an actress.
McKey gets raves.
Tyra: Look at you, Miss lady!
She did better without teleprompter.
Paulina: Great example of how you don’t have to use teeth to look happy, shiny, accessible.
Nigel: First shot where any of the girls look like a model.
Jay says McKey has a “Lurch thing” about her. “You raaang?”
Analeigh is let go. WOW. That is a surprise. Sam DOES NOT BELONG in the finals. She hasn’t belonged here in a long time.
Whoever wins is going to be on the cover of Seventeen and they shoot the cover shot then and there.
Mr. Jay’s Willy Wonka, Dr. Seuss-ian runway. They have to go up a purplish hill.
McKey’s got so much pent-up emotion, she says. Does she have some kind of hidden accent? Something either British or Australian or I don’t know what, but it comes and goes.
She looks good on the runway. Sam looks nervous.
Why did Jay make them run up those stairs? What a weird set up. Set them up to fail.
I LOVE McKey’s aquamarine dress. She looked like a model. Sam looked miserable. I thought this was what she wanted.
The judges seemed to like Sam’s walk. I saw nothing about her to like, but I’m neither a model nor a judge.
I did like some of her photos when they went through the season retrospective, but overall it has to be McKey.
With Sam what you see is not what you get – she looks like a commercial chick from the mall but she can do high fashion photos.
McKey’s personality at the beginning didn’t impress anyone – me neither. Nigel said he didn’t see a star, until tonight.
Miss Jay thinks McKey has a high-fashion body. He loves really tall girls because they look good in clothes.
Both sweet good girls you’d like to have around with bodies like linebackers.
And the winner is ... McKey! Who attacks Tyra in her excitement. McKey always did bend over backwards for this show.
Winner: Brittany "McKey" Sullivan, 19, from Lake Forest, Ill. Runner up: Samantha Potter, 18, from Woodland Hills, Calif. Third place: Analeigh Tipton, 19, from Sacramento, Calif.
