I did not understand the final "fashion show." At all. It was just bizarre, as so much of what this show attempts to pass off. I wonder if these fashion weirdos realize how normal people view them?

Teyomboy was slated to be winner from square one...in spite of her face looking like it's either a.) in a windtunnel or b.) like someone is pulling the sides up. She completely blew the commercial, but they kept her anyway. That's when her win was assured. but I won't remember her face by tomorrow. She's just not memorable.

Can't believe they fired Paulina. She gave far more relevant critiques than "Miss J" ever has.

You know, I'm up in the air. I think it was neck and neck. This year, it didn't matter to me who won. I loved A's eyes, but T somehow appeared thinner and fitter body-wise. However, I do think T's 17-mag cover looked slightly better. So, either way, at least this year I would not have find myself hemorrhaging blood at either conclusion.

I agree with anicho01. I'd rather Allison had won, but I was fine with a Teyona win. Completely different than last cycle; when uh... what was her name? Annalynne? Gabriella? Oh well, when McKey and Samantha made it to the final two I was like "Shit!" You know, I get Seventeen magazine and I didn't need to see McKey's blank "I think Ukraine is the same country as Russia" face on the cover.

I'm actully kind of glad that teyona won instead. Let's face it. Winning ANTM is like the begining of the end of their career. At least Alison has the chance to make it big with another agency and leave the 17-magazine, walmart crap behind.

I'm climbing aboard the "meh, don't give a crap who won" train.

J-Mo, you were the sole reason to watch this season, imo. I loved watching and wondering what you were going to have to say, and every week you cracked me up. What the fuck am I going to do without my weekly dose?!?!?!? I'm a J-Mo addict - and I don't want rehab!

Love you lots and lots. I can't wait to see what you'll be doing next.

SWAKKKKKKKKKKKKK, PottyMouth

Teyom...who?

I saw no difference between her photo and Aminuts', but what do I know? I liked Aminuts' smile a lot.

Animeyes will do just fine.

J-Mo thank you bunches for recapping this crap of a season! I sure hope you pick up another show soon. I will read whatever you do (I even watched Double Shot of Love just to follow your recaps). And I love that both you and Pop Princess referenced Danity Kane in your recaps today!

sobby-sob, boobly-hoo, and sniffy-sniff's . . . how I will miss you weekly, J-mo!!! Can't u do Bachelorette or something . . .

Anyhoo, I was really proud of Anime and I bet she will do much more than Tey in the end, but I guess Tey's CG pic looked slightly better, tho I really was impressed with the 17 cover shoot, Anime was looking like such a cute, sweet normal girl. I also was impressed with how she turned it out in the end. I think I know what she meant by "stopped feeling lame" as it pertains to runway . . . I'd probably feel lame too. It's amazing that it's a skill to just walk . . .

Well, dahlink, hope to hear from you in the comments around until your next steady gig!!! Good luck with any shows you might do in the interim--HEART~!!!

Oh J-Mo! I will miss you. I don't even watch this show - I just read your recaps. Please recap something else. I need all the humor I can get. You always make me laugh.
Hey did anyone else read that Port-what's-her-face is trashing Tyra? Too funny. All these celebrities on this show just seem mean. Tyra most of all.

That final catwalk was not a real fashion show. Did you guys look at the audience? It was a bunch of underage students - no fashionistas at all. It was all a big Tyra stage production - totally staged for the finale, and not even in a good way like past seasons. I thought Animat was the most "model-esque" of the three, but as Paulina said in her "exit" interview, none of them are model material. It's usually the 4th, 3rd and 2nd place ANTM's that get jobs, so there's still hope for Anime Eyes and Animat. Time will tell.

First, I want to say that both Anime-Eyes and Teyomboy are beautiful girls with beautiful bodies, but I've got to say: neither of these girls has a model's body. They both have short legs and their thighs are, well, not right. Anime might do OK if she tones up a little.

I think Aminuts would have wiped up the runway with either of them, so they couldn't let her make it to the top two, even though her commercial was the best and her photo was pretty good, in my book. I do believe Aminuts will work as a model and Anime will work as a print model.

I actually thought that the Seventeen connection would make Anime a shoo-in, since she has just the right soulful, Bella Swan type look that the teen girls swoon over.

What was the name of the African-American model who pioneered magazine work in the '70s and '80s--Beverly...? Teyomboy reminds me of her.

I also wanted Anime to win, but as it was already said, the winners never seem to have a decent career. All of the former contestants that I have known to be working regularly were amongst the final 4 or 5 but never the winner. Anime may or may not have a big runway career, but I guarantee she will do well in print. Her face is made for print ads. And AmINuts will be stomping a lot of runways, I believe. Teeomboy? Well... at least her pictures will be up in Walmart for a while. And she'll get those CG commercials during next season's show. Maybe she can snag a rich husband from one of those.

J-Mo, you better not stay away too long! If you do, I'll sic Ty-Ty on your arse. And you know she is scary! Enjoy your break and thanks for all of the great recaps!

Oh dear, my young love Allison didn't win...robbed...i thought she looked VERY sexy during that greese orgy thing...and I think she was stronger throughout the competition...oh well...good on her for getting that far!

Get recaps! Hope to see something else from you soon....you can play in my sandbox anytime...
:)

All of Teyona's whining and crying this episode just confirmed to me that she bores me to death. I wasn't at all surprised, because what Ty-Ty wants, she gets, and she so clearly wanted Teyona to win. However, the winners usually disappear and the runners-up get the good jobs, so yay for Anime!

Also, Teyona's writhing and weave-flinging scared the hell out of me. I half expected her to start speaking in tongues and spewing pea soup Exorcist-style.

Thanks for the great recaps J-Mo!

Very funny! (Even tho I don't care either about the show, or it's apparently rigged contest).

You're right, LAjane, it was all voodoo chicken ala Angel Heart!!!

And Pix, it's Beverly Johnson, and right now, or soon, she'll be judging "She's Got the Look" Maybe you can cap that one, J-mo! Nothing like some hot Mee-maw action!!!

I'll miss your recaps, J-Mo. I won't miss this show, however.

Once again, they chose the lesser candidate! I think Allison was ROBBED! It's getting so ridiculous that I'm starting to think they do it on purpose, so the better girl CAN go on to have a career and not be stuck in the background of Cover Girl commercials. After all, aside from Adrienne, which winner do you actually see doing anything?! None of them. Just like American Idol!

J-Mo You are such a Rock Star!! It's way past my bedtime but I had to finish reading your recap. I swear to God it's so much better than the actual show.

Love you madly,
Yenta

J-Mo,
well the end of another wonderful season of recaps. I wish I could say I was surprised by the ending, but seeing as Teyona's forehead is actually bigger then Ty-Ty's no one else ever had a shot at winning this thing.
You know we all gave Miss Jay-Moe a hard time this season but the guy was smarter then we gave him credit for. Those super ridiculous bow ties completely distracted from his outfits. Really how else does a guy on a fashion show still have a job after pretty much raiding Steve Urkel's closet for 12 epsiodes? Well played Miss Jay, well played.
I just wish the episode would have ended with Tyra giving Paulina a big kiss of death and saying "you broke my heart Paulina."
And seeing as Paulina will now only get to be snotty and mean to the people down at the unemployment office could I make a suggestion for her replacement? How about instead of getting another "judge", they get a house mother for the model mansion instead? I think it would be awesome (and I'm talking IHOP awesome) if they would bring Whitney Houston on the show. The girls could go out during the day and do supermodel stuff like pretend to be birds in nests, and then we could watch them interact with Miss Whitney all night long (because you know Whitney doesn't sleep for days at a time). I don't know about anyone else but I'd watch this.
Anyway J-Mo loved everything as always and can't wait to see what you get to write about next.

hellooooooooooooooooooooooo has no one else realized there hasnt been a black winner since Danielle??

n that was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back when lol i coulda told u this yrs winner was gonna be black from the first episode lol i just didnt kno which one of them it would be
