Oh yes, and who do you think will win Top Model tonight? Jenna who looks like Sasha, Salesha who looks like a pop star, or Chantal, who’s really, really blonde? We think Salesha because they’ve given her the nicest edit… and because she went to Tyra’s summer camp.

I think Saleisha will win also. Its kinda sad because no one has really stuck out in my mind since 'Eva the Diva' (who I don't see anywhere anymore). I think the show is lacking real models who can be 'top models'. And i also heard Tyra got rid of Twiggy so she won't be back next season!

I totally agree that it will be Saleisha because the model who truly deserves it never wins (and come on, Jenah is the only one that looks like a model).
And no offense, this may come off strangely, but more often than not Tyra will choose a black model regardless of who deserves it.

I definitely think Saleisha will win, and although I think she's adorable and spunky, she will probably only make it into ads for junior brands or end up modeling at fashion trade shows, like all the girls before. I think Jenna has the most "editorial" potential.

Please give me a break with the "Black" comments. The majority of the winners have not been black, including Adrian, Yoanna, Jaslene, Naima, Nicole, CariDee, etc. Tyra and her crew pick the winners based on whatever random method they use, but its pretty obvious race is not one of them, otherwise there would have been a lot more Black Top Models.

It's not that black models win, it's that there's usually more black girls kept on over white girls when the two are comparably good. Of COURSE race is an issue, Tyra even hints to that in the show.(she wants to keep things racially balanced, which is a good thing given the industry's tendency to go for white models) But also, being an idiot whose personality is entirely moldable or fake and who has had to struggle through life or hard times will keep you on longer. Or being a bitch. The best way to win this show is to be in the low middle and then suddenly get better in the last 3 epis.

ANTM Eligibility Rule #10: "You must not have previous experience as a model in a national campaign within the last 5 years (including, but not limited to, appearances on television and print advertisements)."
It's been established that Wendy's is a nationwide comercial (even Avriel says so). And from how Avriel states it, Saleisha was in the *NEW* Wendy's commercial back when she wrote her blog on December of 2006... meaning Saleisha's commercial couldn't have been at least 5 years old.

I don't think Tyra has a clue about what it currently takes to be a top model. I stopped watching the show because I was bored beyond words, but just in reviewing the portfolios on the site right now, there's nothing standout about the themes of the shoots or the actual models. there's hardly anyone that strikes me as versatile in terms of looks, poses, whatever. the show has definitely gone downhill. plus, when you see winners like Dani Evans "scoring" contracts with JCPenney, it just really makes me wanna go to the girls and ask "why bother?"

Saleisha will be crowned winner (T-Zone camp connection probably helped), although I cringe at that thought. She's bland and forgettable like most of the other winners, so I guess it's nothing new.
And I really wanted Jenah to win, I think she has more of a Raquel Zimmermann thing going on and I love that.
