Rae Weisz

Note: What a load of S*#t! I most definitely do not agree with the judges decision to let Rae go. I do no think that she lacks luster. She was chosen to be sent home because she does not create that much drama compared to Erin. Erin, Erin, Erin, where do I begin? This girl is downright annoying. I don't know what possessed the judges why they came up with such disappointing results but saving her was one of the biggest mistakes they have ever made in Top Model history. What a rigged show. I'm pretty sure Tyra/ANTM's desperate and cheap attempt to raise their rating failed big time.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 Episode 13 Finale

Finale Part 2: America’s Next Top Model Is...

Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 12

Teyona Anderson and Tyra Banks

Final Runway

The Big Reveal

The final two shot their Seventeen magazine cover tries where they both excelled and impressed Ann Shoket. Later, for their final performance, Allison and Teyona arrived at Ibirapuera Auditoriumfor competed in a Rosa Chá swimsuit fashion show where they had to strut a sultry walk, dance in samba movement and crawl provocatively at the end of the show. Cycle 11 winner McKey Sullivan joined the girls for the show.

At panel, Allison was commended for her significant improvements throughout the competition as well as for her strong walk, which also improved immensely from being the worst of the bunch. Teyona's walk was criticized for looking somewhat robotic, though she was still praised for her stellar photos. The judges felt that both finalists had their own strengths; Teyona was lauded for her versatile portfolio that translated into booking ability, creativity during photo shoots, and genuine personality while Allison's high fashion and editorial look could book her international fashion shows.

Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 12

Note: I will jump the bandwagon and say that Allison should have won. I would have really wanted her to win. Don't get me wrong I also love Teyona as I find her photos fitting the category of 'high fashion' but I do believe that Allison had better photos than her. See how Allison took everything when Tyra didn't announce her as the winner? I know right. She has a really cool and undefeated approach towards the whole thing. Good for you Allison! Good for you.

Eliminated

Jessica Santiago

Note: Jessica's outfit here is a complete sabotage. Seriously, the way she was styled on this episode was absolutely horrendous. I mean, what's up with those jeans? It's like mom-jeans-meets-12-year-old-hannah-montana-meets-5-year-old-plastic-make-up-set. yeah, something like that. It's just appalling. No wonder Jessica was sent home. That said, despite Jessica's wardrobe malfunction I still (in a heartbeat) would have wanted Tahlia sent home. Tahlia's expressionless and sometimes lifeless face here should have been enough evidence for the judges to send her home, but no, they chose amateur posing over something their stylists have been indifferent to. Cue: lack of judgement song playing.

Isis King

Hannah White

The girls got a runway lesson at a bowling alley from J. Alexander. The next day, they participated in a runway show for fashion designer Jeremy Scott. There were two twists. Firstly, the girls would be wearing see-through blindfolds, and secondly, one girl would be instantly eliminated following the challenge. Notable standouts on the runway included Joslyn, Analeigh, McKey, Isis and Sheena, though most girls also excelled. Despite being instructed not to do so, Samantha pulled up her dress while posing on the runway. Joslyn's performance was deemed the best, winning her a photo shoot for Seventeen which she shared with Isis and Sheena. The least impressive girls were Hannah and Samantha. Hannah for not presenting herself there and seems didn't want to be there, and Samantha for walking and acting 'disgustingly' in the runway. Hannah was sent home due to her overall performance.

This week's photo shoot took place in their own pool, with Nigel Barker photographing the girls. The girls were to pose with their faces partially underwater, with an emphasis on their eyes. While many received positive feedback, Elina and Joslyn struggled with the shoot, as did Isis, who was awkward in the pool because she felt uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit.

At judging, Clark's huge improvement inspired everyone in the place, as she produced a super strong photo with a very fierce eyes. Analeigh also very improving from the last week, finally using her ice skating ability to create a photo with strong, fierce eyes. Sheena's photo was deemed by Tyra as an "Asian warrior that is going to kill you", while Lauren Brie impressed for the third consecutive week.

Despite having a strong photo, Samantha was strongly reprimanded by Jeremy Scott, because she was acting like a know-it-all and seemed to want to be the rockstar of the runway show, and she ended up in the bottom two along with Isis. In the end, Samantha was spared because the judges felt that Isis was holding back, though they praised her as an inspiration for the LGBTcommunity.

Note: Though I feel for Isis' elimination. I also feel for Hannah's shameful elimination. I feel sad that she wasn't given the opportunity to show what she has. She was eliminated instead. What a cheap way for a reality show to start something as tacky and as gimmicky as this? This is the 11th cycle already. Goodness! Straighten up your act Tyra Banks! Your cheap theatrics are really getting old already ANTM!
