ANTM 9 Episode 13 [Finale] Quickie

As the competition narrowed down to only 3 girls, it was time for the CoverGirl photo shoot and commercial. The product was CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers, and each of them had to portray different flavors. Chantal chose lemon, Saleisha was tangerine-d whilst Jenah went for strawberry. Saleisha and Jenah struggled with the commercial. Chantal wasn't that great either. At the panel, the following was the call-out order:

Chantal was called first!


Oh-oh. Saleisha was called second...


Which means bye bye to Jenah. Seriously, I thought Jenah's picture is fabulous.

That leaves Chantal and Saleisha for the runway battle. And d'oh, anyone would know who's stronger in that. Saleisha did a really good job, and Chantal, unfortunately, had a little mishap during her final walk, which probably worsened her chances at winning. Nevertheless, she has a strong portfolio, although not as strong as Jenah's, but at least way better than Saleisha's. Yet, Saleisha had more experience, and a greater control on her runway walk. So who won in the end? Scroll down to find out!

Chantal looked pretty stiff.


But Saleisha kicked ass.


No doubt she's pretty experienced in walking.


Oh my, Chantal had a sharp misfortune.


And her recovery was, no good...

So, who win's America's Next Top Model this time? Chantal? Saleisha? Bring on the results!

And there you have it....


Saleisha's reaction immediately after the was crowned.

Okay, as much as I dislike the results, Saleisha had gone a pretty long way to the top. Read this if you're not quite sure what I mean. Anyhow, winners always have extra photos at the end of the show, sharing one or two of them with the show's creater-cum-judge, Tyra Banks herself.

The remaining four girls moved to Beijing, China where they were introduced to the Four Beauties of China. The next day, they had to turn the traditional costumes into their own style. All of them were given one hour to shop around, and bloody Bianca purposefully gave a bad tip to Jenah. Luckily, Jenah did an amazing job on the runway, earning her the challenge reward of qipao. As the winner, she chose Chantal to share the prize with her. On top of that, she was rewarded a one on one runway lesson from Ms. Jay.

Why is the room everytime a mess?


The four beauties!


Bianca was being a bitch again, victimizing Jenah.


Like it or not, Saleisha has a great presence on the runway.


Chantal's walk was smooth, but her look isn't strong and fierce enough.


Haha, Bianca strutting her stuff...


Jenah, was with no doubt the best.


Jenah looked good in that.


So did Chantal!

Once Beijing is mentioned, how can one not think of the Great Wall of China? That's the place for the photo shoot that week, and Tyra herself was the featured photographer. Apart from individual picture, a group picture was taken to test their ability to stand out as a group. The call-out order for that week was:

Chantal was called first for the second time so far. She did extraordinarily in both photos. Bravo!


Um, is it just me, or does anyone else find it hard to appreciate this photo of Saleisha?


Jenah was again in the bottom two! She'd better work on her personality, or she'll fade away really quickly.


Finally, Bianca was axed from the competition. I have to admit, throughout the competition, she had been improving consistently, but she wouldn't win anyways, right?

Wait, who was the CoverGirl of the Week? Guess what, it was Heather again although she has been eliminated! It was a Top Model first!

So, the finale will be aired tomorrow. Who are you rooting for? I myself love Chantal, but my instincts are telling me that she wouldn't win as she's a rpetty nice girl who can model naturally, but doesn't stand out between Jenah and Saleisha. She, very much reminds me of Kahleen from Cycle 5, who was just the runner-up. As for Jenah, she has what it takes to be a model, but she really has to work on hr characteristics. From the preview I've seen so far, I think she will be one of the final two. Now, coming to Saleisha, I think her odds of winning is pretty high due to her long history with Tyra, and her need to win the competition in order to succeed in the modeling world. However, I would love to see her go next, leaving the final runway battle to Chantal and Jenah. And if that happens, Jenah will most probably be named as America's Next Top Model.

Finally, the girls went for go-sees. Saleisha showed how evil she could be to Bianca by not telling her the location of the agency which she knew. Heather was lost in the city and made to only one go-see. Jenah had a little personality problem which sorta turned off the designers, and Chantal had a wrong undergarment on. In the end, Bianca booked the most jobs, crowning her as the winner of the challenge. Anyway, Heather, Chantal and Jenah were all late and were disqualified. Otherwise, I think Bianca might not have won.

Apparently, that lady is a popular model in China.


Nude panty is a must for a model. Striking pink with lace is a huge mistake.


Poor Heather was lost in directions.


Saleisha is being a little devious to Bianca.

The photo shoot that week had the girls post with Chinese lions and dragons. Apart from that, they had to impress their photographer and also a judge, Nigel Barker. At the end of the judging, the final call-out order was:

For the first time, I'm liking Saleisha's photo.


But, why was Bianca called second?


Chantal was safe again!


The reason Jenah landed in the bottom two is her personality.


Meaning Heather, surprisingly, was eliminated from the competition despite having a strong portfolio. But at least, she was again the CoverGirl of the Week.

The girls finally arrived in Shanghai, China. A little fight occurred when Saleisha refused to share her king size bed, leaving Heather without a bed to sleep on. The girls were taught some kung fu stunts, and they had to repeat the poses in the middle of the air, hanging a few storeys from the ground. Bianca was afraid of heights, and she was disqualified for not completing her task. At the end, Heather was the winner for the challenge and she shared her reward of 4000RMB with Chantal.

Gosh, the house is such a mess!


Selfish Saleisha had the bed all by herself!


Jenah and Chantal were the protagonists!


Lisa jokingly asked Heather to sleep on that...


Doesn't that hurt, dude?


The girls were shocked at first.


But Bianca couldn't conquer her fears.


Congratulations to Heather! It was her 3rd time winning a challenge. She was also the CoverGirl of the Week for the 7th week!


Shopping spree for Chantal and Heather who had the money to spend. It was about USD530.

That week, they had to do a commercial and photo ad for CoverGirl Queen Collection. A couple of them did really badly, while a few did moderately good. The call-out order was:

Chantal. Despite her farmgirl look, her appeal impressed the judges.


Saleisha was once kickin' ass again.


Bianca's one-of-a-kind look is hard to understand.


Jenah was taking risks in this picture.


Trouble for Heather who pulled off a great film but failed her commercial.


Yet, Lisa was eliminated for her inability to cope with critics. What the-. Yes, her commercial sucked but her picture was the best amongst the girls. She could have at least lasted longer than Saleisha or Bianca.
