ANTM 8 Episode 13 [Finale] Quickie

Finally, my predictions came true (just like the last cycle when CariDee won). Jaslene wins America's Next Top Model Cycle 8, ousting Natasha, who was the first runner-up and Renee, the second runner-up. Renee struggled with her CoverGirl national ad by not looking youthful, but heck, she's really beautiful and she'll still enjoy a good post-ANTM career. Natasha on the other hand was unable to grasp control of her runway walk. As Jaslene walk like a model everyday all day, she easily defeated Natasha, and was crowded this season's top. I find it quite controversial for her to win actually (though I had always been rooting for her). She was actually an unselected model for Cycle 7, and now she's the winner. Can we draw up a few conclusions here?

1. She has improved tremendously.
2. Tyra looks for different traits in the girls every season.
3. The other models this season is inferior to Jaslene, making her the simple best.
4. And many, many more...

I've seen the negative feedbacks after the result was announced. Of course, not everyone's going to agree on the finalized decision, but I do think that Jaslene had worked hard to get to where she is. I don't think who the winner is matters, but its their potential and exposure to the industry that will measure their success in modeling. But nevertheless, by winning the competition, the winners will be fixedly handled by CoverGirl and Elite Model Management for a year. And hell yeah, CariDee English made a special guest appearance in this episode. Right now, I'm still waiting for the video to be uploaded into the net... So excited.

Cha Cha Diva Jaslene rocks!
