So KJ and I predicted with 100% accuracy what the final episode of America's Next Top Model would bring.
In the first half, Fatima was expelled for being pretty but not able to take direction. Anya was called first and they used the opportunity to break Whitney down. When she cried, they said it was the first time they knew who she really was.
In the second half, the two finalists battled down the runway, as usual. This runway was different in that the catwalk itself was short and unremarkable. However, the models actually wore real couture.
Of course, KJ and I knew Whitney would win, if for NO possible other reason, because Anya speaks with a totally bizarre accent. They tend to stress that people who might have to speak on camera need to be able to be understood. The other reason Whit won---we think---is to spread the message that it is actually OK to eat. Last year there was an uproar about anorexic models and having a "plus"-size girl win sort of drives the point home. She is pretty though, and she does deserve it.

I read some stuff last week that says that Whitney actually wasn't a "plus-sized" model, but was asked by the show to gain 20 lbs in order to be their "plus-sized" girl. Weird.
Oh, and NOW I have laryngitis--I have actually completely lost my voice. Sucks.
Sheesh! GET BETTER!
That would be really bizarre and "misleading" if they did that. Basically it means she was planted and they wanted her to win all along.
I would find it very difficult to gain 20 lbs at anyone's request. I mean, physically. haha.
