If someone had told me five years ago that I would be waiting with bated breath to find out who would win Cycle 12 of America's Next Top Model, I would have told you you were crazy. Mainly because I could not envision a time when my wife would appreciate me watching a show about vapid, shallow, skinny bitches who lounge around in the tiniest bikinis imaginable. But since it was she who got me into the show in the first place, I have nothing to stop me from tuning in for tonight's episode. Sadly, my first choice, Celia, is gone due to her advanced (for a model) age and frowny mouth, but I still feel pretty good rooting for Blythe Doll-looking, nosebleed-coveting, "You look pretty"-mumbling Allison to win tonight's season finale. I know she takes better pictures than she does runway, but she takes a really good picture. Aminat is beautiful, but she doesn't seem to know what she's doing a lot of the time, and Teyona is a good poser, but in a very Maxim way. But then, what do I know? The sum of my modeling knowledge comes from Project Runway and late 1980s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.
Another reason to watch tonight's episode: It's apparently the last episode we'll get to see Paulina Porizkova at Tyra's side, because she has apparently been fired. Having loved her in the aforementioned swimsuit issues and the Tom Selleck movie Her Alibi, I was excited to see her take over for Twiggy, and I'm sad to hear that she's gone, though not surprised. I tracked down her interview on The Late Late Show to hear it first-hand (it's at the 4-minute mark), and I'm sad that they thought she was the most cuttable part of the show. It sounds like they may not even replace her with another ex-model, although why should they, when they have Tyra? Maybe she was cuttable. But awesome. Anyway, tune in tonight to say good-bye to Paulina, and good-bye to two other girls, as well -- hopefully Aminat and Teyona. Bias!
The season finale of America's Next Top Model airs tonight at 8/7C on the CW. Next season: short models!
