I agree with Mimi. Nicole to me was the most deserving win on ANTM. She's only 18 and looks to have lived a sheltered life up until now. Look how far she's come from the first episode? That shows she learns fast. Also, for me I love that she's a nature lover and doesn't kill bugs. Shows she's evolved. Plus she appears intelligent, speaks articulately and has a vocabualry, unlike Laura, who I hate to say has a speech empedament, to boot. I loved that Nicole is so innocent the other girls felt the need to teach her to be mean and it was Laura who coached her on how to say "go f#ck yourself". It was also Laura who swore during one of the shoots. Just saying. I think Tyra tried to pick the most authentic person in addtition to who has the most potential.
Laura has sex appeal, no doubting, and she took some beautiful pictures. If Nicole wasn't a contestant I would have wanted Laura to win, but Nicole is strikingly beautiful, angular and her eyes are breathtaking. She stomped on the runway but it was more of a walk than you'd remember than Laura's which was fine but not noticable. The winner from last year may very well be the least deserving of all ANTM winners and her walk was ''nothing''. Very boring.
Nicole's a dork but she's real, she's stunning and she deserved to win and she's going to just keep getting better and better.
I love Laura and thinks she's hilarious and sweet ("what are you thinking?" "milkshakes.") but I didn't think she was competition for Nicole at all, who I find stunning whenever she is made up. Laura's face is chubby and not even model interesting, and her poses are always awkward or boring. She does have a megawatt, sunny smile though. I just see her as a catalog model.
I felt bad for Laura, but she really didn't stack up against Nicole's modeling prowess. The only reason I really thought Laura might've had a chance in hell was that I thought Tyra might feel reluctant to crown a winner who shared a name with a past winner (cycle five's winner was also named Nicole).
Neither girl did really well on their commercial but I think Nicole did a better job than Laura. Was I the only one who thought Laura looked like was about to break down and cry during the commercial? The Covergirl photos were a huge 'meh' but when aren't they? Laura's photo wasn't very good at all, the airbrushing on her face made her look terrible. Nicole's photo was better but it still wasn't anything great either. The runway show actually looked pretty awesome, I loved the whole wind thing that was going on. Nicole's walk was awful. Laura's walk was pretty good and she definitely outshone Nicole on the runway but like so many articles I have read, pointed out, neither girl will be walking the runway anytime soon unless they grow a few inches.
I love Nicole's awkwardness. Usually Tyra and co. always want the perky type, which grate on my nerves.
Neither Nicole or Laura looked good at final judging. Nicole's dress made me think it might be something Loretta Lynn would wear if she did a duet with Adam Lambert.
I can't believe I forgot to mention Teyona. When she came out of the "woods" of Hawaii, I kept thinking some hunter would shoot her with a dart gun and contact The Globe for his prize money.
