i call foul (for angelea preston)

well, i just finished watching the season finale of all star version of america's next top model.  it was going great with the three remaining contestants competing and angelea, the plucky underdog you can't help rooting for,was doing extremely well.  commercial break....and then, tyra's announcing that angelea was eliminated without further explanation.  it becomes obvious that this whole judging scene has been recreated to choose a new winner.  whomp, whomp!  technically, lisa the loony one won.  however, angelea is the true winner (especially in my eyes).  she deserved to win and spreading the good news too early doesn't seem like a good enough reason to be dqed (the rumor is she posted info up on her facebook before taping).  tyra, i call foul!!

they want to be on top- tyra's protege's

i've been having a hard time keeping up with tyra's america's next top model this season.  however, i must say that ms. banks has certainly been making some bankable models each and every season.  at the very least, she has brought some interesting faces to the forefront (especially for women of color) and for that i'm happy.  fatima (pictured at the bottom) is gorgeous and can be seen just about everywhere.   the beautiful bianca was a favorite of mine on the show (queens stand up!) and i get to see her every once in a while, too.  then there's mercedes (in the middle)!  i hadn't seen her in a while but judging from the pic she is just as beautiful as ever and i'm sure she's doing well.  there have been so many talented ladies, its hard to choose a favorite.  but those who i remember fondly include:aminat, jael, bree, jade, tocarra and eva the diva.  who has been your favorite contestant so far?
