ANTM: Cycle 13 - "Finale" Review/Recap

Tonight is the finale of ANTM. I can't believe it's already the end; it seems like just yesterday when I started watching this season. It's down to Nicole and Laura and honestly, they are my two favorites and even though I like Nicole the most, I would be happy with either winning because I do believe they are the two best and would both deserve it equally. This will be short and to the point!

The girls find out they will be doing a Covergirl commercial and photoshoot, as well as a photoshoot for the cover of Seventeen magazine. They also get to have a sit down with Tyra and talk about their journey thus far and we see some really cute moments from both of them.

During the photoshoot and commerical, Nicole is critiqued for coming off too snotty and not as relatable as she could be, while Laura struggled with her dyslexia and memorization.

When it was time for the Julia Clancey fashion show, Laura and Nicole found out they'd be joined on the catwalk by last season's winner Teyona [who also joined them for help during their photoshoot etc], and eliminated contestants Erin, Brittany, Sundai, and Jennifer. This part actually kind of pissed me off because they were already eliminated and I don't think it was fair that they got to participate in the big final two walk off. It's suppsoed to be about the final two, and having them up there had to be somewhat of a distraction to viewers and the panel. It should have been Nicole and Laura's time to shine.

When it came down to it, the panel reviewed each girl's body of work and new commericals and photoshoot for Covergirl. They were pleased with each girl's performance and after deliberation it was announced that the winner of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 13 is.... NICOLE!

I was excited because even though Laura winning would have been fine in my book, Nicole was my favorite so I was glad to see her rise from being the talked about one, that the other girls dissed behind her back, and thought was awkward and weird, to being the winner. She truly is beautiful and deserved every part of this win. Congratulations to Nicole! Yay!

Thanks for tuning in for my ANTM reviews.
