What is the problem with you ppl. If you don't like the show or disagree with the decision of the judges, then just stop watching the program. You are not experts in this field, so stop complaining if your pick didn't win. And as for Ebony, she left because she claimed she was homesick. I just think that she couldn't take the pressure.

Saleisha= a big 'ole mistake.

I adored this show. Not anymore. Who gives a hoot when skill and talent don't mean anything. What happened to the standard of final 2s like Joanie and Danielle or Yohanna and Mercedes? Now its all about Seventeen magazine and their image. What REAL model works for Seventeen? Got news for you Tyra, its not Vogue.

I first read on WWW.GLOBALGRIND.COM that Saleisha didn't even get a chance to get work before the start of cycle 10. It doesn't seem at all that this show is to help these models and their careers, its more of another reason for Tyra to get attention and talk about her favorite thing to talk about, herself!

Ebony/Heather would have been a dream finale either way! They're just so great!
I feel breaking girls like Tyra does is completely wrong. She should step down and step down right now!

Hello who ever said that we need to stop hating needs to just be quiet!!! saleisha should have lost. Ebony was so high fashion and had modelistic ways!!! Chantal was sooooo beautifal and had the greatest smile ever!! Saleisha was just plain wrong!! I think saleisha had an advantage over all the girls just because she has met Tyra before!! Those judges don't know who looks like a model or doesn't!! I will miss seeing Twiggy, but she has to go!!! I just hope that Paulina knows whose fierce and whose blahhh!!!! Tyra has picked the wrong winners since, Cycle 1 Adrianne wrong, 2 Yohanna wrong, 3 Eva right and wrong, 4 Naima wrong, 5 Nicole wrong, 6 Danielle right and wrong, 7 Caridee right, 8 Jaslene definitley right, 9 Saleisha wrong!~!!! I love top model, but Tyra if you see this make please make the right choices!!!!!

Ebony should have won! Chantal was corny like Saleisha. I liked Jenah and I thought what the judges did was wrong but the fact was that she didn't want to be there in the end. I think it's for the same reasons Ebony left. They tore Ebony apart and I think she left because no matter how fierce her pictures were, the judges always had something negative to say. I wouldn't want to put up with that either. Tyra is so full of herself and so are the rest of the judges. Selling a product is not about likability. It's about believability! As long as I believe you photo or commercial then that's all that should matter. I could care less how their attitude really is because the reality is that I will probably never meet them. This show is going down hill!

hmmmm
i love americas next top model to death however i was also very disappointed with the results this cycle, i honestly think that jenah was the best model and that the reasons behind her getting sent home were totally off center, they tore her apart until she cried and i think she took it amazingly and stood up for herself fantastically i especailly loved her comment about "spewing rainbows incessantly" because shes right, it's not a personality contest and even if it were jenah was the only one who acted real just because tyra and saliesha and chantal didnt like her isnt good enough reason to vote her off because her pictures were gorgeous. i think she would be a wonderful role model and i wish her the best of luck with her modeling career. hopefully cycle 10 will be better, i look forward to seeing what happens.

wow its unbelievable how people here just spew on Chantal like that. Im probably the only one defending her but i would rather have seen her win than Saleisha i mean come on! She looked way better than her in every way i mean seriously...That bubbly personality was her way and she showed it through everywhere even when she wasnt in panel so stop the hating on Chantal she had amazing photos from the beginning to the end and all of those who are hating because they gave her the beautiful makeover of long blonde hair doesnt mean that you should hate because most girls would kill to look like she does ok. So get a life and stop the hate!

I have been watching the show sence it came on years ago.I dont understand what everyone is so mad about i knew that she was going to win from day one my vote never changed i honestly think that you ppl dont know what it really takes to be a model its not all peaches and cream like you would like to think.tyra works hard and she really does beleave in these ladys but the fact of the matter is they have to beleave in thereselves before anyone and that the bottom line ppl.well Love Live Life eveyone think on that and u will be seeing me soon hopefully.

Heather was shoved down everyone's throat a lot more than Saleisha was. Every week we had to pet and pity poor Heather's sickness and feel bad everytime something happened to her. She's like a child; I'm glad she didn't win/

When r they going to replace Nigel? dont he have anything better to do than stick around for so long?

Im suprised not alot ppl condemning Nigel here becoz, i seriously feel grossed out everytime he sums up the character of a contestant after like, 5 minutes interacting with them. and using that as a strong point in judging.

Get over it. Saleisha it the winner.

Oooooh...I'm so disappointed with this season. I don't know if the producers, editors and judges on ANTM are just plain lazy or tired of making the show, so they give us the most mediocre performance we can stand without boycotting it...or if this show has lost it's sparkle and is holding on for dear life. I'm quite disappointed in the quality of people they picked this year (ummmm...what was really good w/ that chick Spontaneous they picked at the beginning of the season...loved Heather to death..but come one...she didn't have a fighting chance...and Saliesha...smh)...If next season doesn't rock, they need to give this show a rest..and if Tyra is not going to actually work hard to promote women who will break the mold of the modeling industry, she should stop crowning people who have absolutely no chance of becoming a high profile model (i think Jaslene has a chance...get it together mama, I want to see you succeed)I don't think it's fair to them for giving them false hope or to us
By the way...does anyone know how to apply for ANTM? I've tried to find a link or something..but it seems to be lost (no season 11...lol and sigh at the same time)
by the way...this talk of Saliesha's winning being a fraud...i don't know if it's publicity stunt to resuscitate a dying show...or if Tyra is just plain shysty now...

Seriously, I was VERY VERY disappointed when Saleisha won. Though I did like her (let's admit she's really pretty and took ok pictures), we all know Jenah and Heather were much better models! Their pictures and their look was amazing! I'm sure everyone can totally relate to their laid back personalities, it's not like we're all OMG OMG and jumping around all the time! Jenah did nothing wrong and I was glad when she told the judges straight up how she had the most personality out of all the girls. I hope Tyra or someone from top model gets to read this... because some serious changes need to be made. I wish all the girls that didn't make it- Lisa, Sarah, Heather and especially Jenah- all the best, i know you guys will make it big!

In my opinion, Jenah had more personality than anyone. She was real and relatable, not to mention an incredible model. Chantal sounded ignorant and pompous everytime she opened her mouth. I'm so glad I never have to hear her say "I was made/born to model," ever again. Plus, I thought she looked awful in her Cover Girl photo shoot and commerical. Good luck Jenah, Heather, Lisa and Ebony in your future modeling endeavors!

I think that cycle 9 of ANTM has been unbeleivably disappointing and i cannot beleive that week after week Tyra sent home the girls with the strongest portfolios for minor thigns they could easily learn from and rewarding the mediocracy of persons such as Chantal, Saleisha and Bianca. i understand where she comes from when she reiterates about how she prefers passion above good pictures but there must be a line where quality comes above personal needs. Personality is all well and good in person but if i hire you to atek a phot and all i can see if limp arms (i.e. check out the great wall photos for saleisha and chantal) and dead awkward looking faces then i am going to track down someone like Heatehr and i don't care how semi-social she is she is going to get my product sold.

All i am saying is that i beleive that the show needs a serious makeover and needs to reevaluate what they are really trying to produce and place into the industry. I'm all for giving a person a chance but not to the point of settling for mediocracy when there is so much better available.

ever since the first episode i knew you would win and i think you look like rihanna a little

I'm so happy that Saleisha won! I was rooting for her from the beginning and to me, it was very predictable that she was going to win when it came down to her and Chantal. I think that if she went head to head with Jenah, it could've went any way. I loved Jenah's pictures and I loved her attitude, even though the judges and her competition expected her to be more bubbly. She was just laid back, and a more of a in your face type of person and I would've loved to see her in the top 2. Saleisha and Jenah were my favorite and Chantal really had no right to be in the top 2. My jaw literally dropped when she was called first. But saying that, I know Jenah will make it far in the industry and Saleisha obviously and hopefully will also.

This was the worst ANTM ever. Saleisha should not have won. I think it should of been between Chantal and Jenah because they look like real models and their pictures are much stronger than Saleisha's. I hope cycle 10 would be much better.

I believe that between the choice of Saleisha and Chantal, Saleisha was a given. Chantal should not have made it to the finals. Jenah was a great model with amazing pictures and a fierce walk. She was also the most REAL. She wasn't all fake OMG OMG like Saleisha. Chantal didn't even have energy she was so DULL. Since when has Tyra wanted the winners to be like Saleisha? i.e. Naima. HELLO!!! Jenah had the best Covergirl photo by far!

I was really disappointed in the judging panel in general throughout the season. I completely agree that Saleisha doesn't deserve the title and that she was spared from the ax because she attended Tyra's T-zone, etc. etc. Nigel in particular annoyed me this season: first with picking apart Ebony, then with making an issue of Sarah's weight loss, and finally with Jenah--which was basically the last straw for me. In past seasons I've always felt Tyra's biases rule the judging panel, but this season it's so overt that it's difficult to think otherwise. In the end it all comes down to who Tyra likes most--can you name a winner that Tyra actually showed real dislike for?

A few seasons ago I adored Tyra, but now I'm just over her and ANTM. Jenah pointed out something that Tyra persistently ignores: ANTM is supposed to espouse individuality and uniqueness yet personality-wise Tyra's type-casting! Didn't she mention it one episode that they're looking for "sweet, fun personalities"? Jenah was completely on point when she criticized the assumption that you have to spew rainbows incessantly to fit that mold--which is another reason they gave her the boot, I believe. And yes, I think they did it primarily so that Saleisha's win could be justified against Chantal.

I don't relate to Saleisha at all. Throughout the competition I feel like she's rehearsed and insincere, which is why I'm amazed at how Tyra pegs her as the kind of girl people can relate to. Down to Chantal and Saleisha, I'd pick Chantal hands down if you want someone sincere and likable. Jenah's humor may bite and she may be less bubbly, but at least she isn't fake.

I'm done watching this show.

i think saleisha was the most attracted girl from the top 3.Yo haterz their stop hatinm on Saleisha.

LOVE U SALEISHA YOU INSPIRED ME

okkkkk too all the saleisha anti fans lets start with the truth...i was rutting for her since day one to me the top 3 should have been ebony saleisha and chantal!

EBONY: yes she was the most high fashion model in the competition she even kinda looks like naomi campbell, i luved ebony but she quit so that why she wasnt in the final 3

HEATHER: yes i loved her too she was very edgy but hello she couldnt walk her butt off on runways and go sees, and her commercial wasnt good even though she looked radiant in it

BIANCA: i loved her but she need to go because she had more learning to do, she was fierce though.

LISA: hello people i loved lisa she was editorial and high fashion but she lacked confident and constantly kept second guessing herself thats why she went home..

JENAH: ohhh my jenah i liked her not to win the competition but she was photogrphically the best but she bombed the cover girl commercial and her walk wasnt all that great to begin with...

CHANTAL: she deserved to be in the final too shes very high fashion yet commercial her pictures besides the babys breathe photo shoot were stunning and her walk is good even though she kinda messed up in the finally...shes a good model

SALEISHA: and we are left with saleisha as the winner, no it wasnt set up for her to win because shes commercial enough to do covergirl, hello jaslene from cycle 8 won and shes very editorial and edgy..saleisha was a great photographical model...she maybe commercial but shes edgy too. people look at her photo shoots in china how edgy she was and also the photo shoot in the dessert and the one were she was shooting with tires next to her...lets face it she had indeed the best cover girl commercial and photo, for all jenah lovers if jenah is the best walker why did saleisha win all THE challenges were the girls had to do runway including the one for collen quinn??..i understand people thought jenah should have been in the final too but lets be fair and admit that saleisha def walked that runway like the rent was due, she was so fierce and high fashion..i love saleisha but i also gave reasons on why she won competition wise...and the judges constantly did get at her too about her being over bubbly and in ways to improve her pictures..well she is the new ANTM sooo that cant change and she tried hard to win and wanted it, imagine if we had ebony who i love as our top model??...she would have won it not wanting it...

I also think that the final two should have been HEATHER and JENAH, they both look as true models and had the strongest portfolio...
I really think ANTM is a modeling competicion, not a personality one, and both Heather and Jenah had the stronget looks and pictures. Its a shame that Tyra choose a more comercial girl, than a real high fashion model.
Go Heather and Jenah!!! :) They will succeed

I don't know what ya people talking about. Because Saleisha is the best! go girl! don't be hatin on the girl! ya just mad.

Well, I have watched most of the season. I think Jenah was way better than Saleisha. It is true Saleisha was improving but Jenah was already good. Jenah was a bit more laid back but given her situation. ANTM was let go when Jenah left. Things could change and be made better. Saleisha was all wrong. The only thing I would of changed on Jenah was her hair color.

I totally think that the show is rigged, this is a show i have been watching since season one, however from now on i will choose to not watch and tell everyone i know what a terrible unfair competition it is!

Change the name of the show to America's Next Top Covergirl. Im over to this show. BS. Im gonna puke when i saw Tyra and Nigel at the judging in finale episode, destroying Jenah. Jenah is the best girl this cycle and they bring her down. The judges must learn to be wiser.

i think that the final two should have been heather and jenah. i dont think that seleisha should have won, but more like heather. she had a really strong portfolio, and an amazing face. this was an unfiae win. Clearly jenah is a better model then chantal, why chantal ead called fisrt still baffles me.

I understand what you mean, I don't think the judges should have broken those girls down like that during the paneling, and I love Jenah, but if you feel this way strongly about Tyra, why do you watch her shows? If you were so tired of them complimenting saleisha, why did you continue watching it? I'm not trying to start an argument na dhave people comment me on my comment, but I was just curious after reading this blog.

Wow...first off, Saleisha was the best model throughout the entire competition. she nailed every photo shoot. she proved to everyone that she can be both commercial and high fashion. she worked hard and earned her spot as America's Next Top Model.

one thing i would agree w/ is that Jenah should have been a finalist. she was a better model than Chantal and i feel that Saleisha/Jenah would have been a far better competition. Chantal did give up an easy victory for Saleisha. but things are the ways things are. the better model won.

oh and lets not forget about her Ebony ran away from the show. she gave up a spot that any other girl would have killed for. also, i can't remember Sarah having any good photo shoots.And Lisa spook as if she had marvels in her mouth. Bianca's attitude was not going to take her far at all. as much as she praised herself on how good of a model she was, she really wasn't. she was a waste of time on the show. i thought Heather was awesome but she couldn't deliver a commecial which was half of what the show is about.

the girls know it is a competition when they enter and they know only one girl wins. so they should already have themselves prepared for the harsh reality that is to come. they sign the dotted line to be "exploited" and i dont feel judges are as cruel as they can possibly be.

Saleisha is the winner because she was the best and the judges saw that and that is why they praised the way they did.

honestly!
i was behind jenah all the way...personally i think it's disgusting how "OMG" Saleisha and Chantal are...Jenah was just more real

word. ANTM is losing face...and now that it looks like Saleisha was in a nationally aired wendy's commercial?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MPZR3PlAJZM

I think people are even more upset, since none of these prior gigs with Tyra, or nationwide (which many see as a violation in the ANTM requirements for application) came up - only the T-zone one.

It's sad - after watching Australia's next top model, I agree with the guy in LA that said that the american girl's don't hold a candle to the Australian ones. At least those girls have a fighting chance in the fashion industry.

Saleisha was the least attractive of the final 3 girls, and her hair was so unbelievably unflattering and unattractive that the entire way through the season I wanted someone on the show to actually say something about it. Jenah had by far the most potential of the final 3, and I still think the final 3 should have been Lisa, Jenah and Heather.

Once again, ANTP fails to deliver a model who has a fighting chance of actually making it.
Tyra is the most pretentious, self-centered and hypocritical person on TV. How does she justify exploiting girls' dreams for her TV show?
That, coupled with her talk show persona, where she regularly scolds her guests, makes her the most nauseating person on TV.

Power, sister!

I completely agree. I don't think Saleisha is a bad person or anything -- I just hate the way she was shoved down our throats as the most perfectly wonderful model EVER, when she obviously wasn't the strongest in the competition.

And oh, I HATED what they did to Jenah. She was an amazing model, but they weren't happy until they'd torn her apart. That's just mean, Tyra.
