ANTM9: And The Winner Is...

Way back in mid-October, plezWorld had a post on my main Guilty Pleasure after weekends of college football and consuming large bowls of rocky road ice cream: it's those fine ladies who grace my television every week under the guise of Tyra Banks's "America's Next Top Model." For Cycle 9, I decided to add my own prognostication as to who I thought should win.

The weeks rolled by and two of my three favorites were removed from the show. Ambreal was eliminated TWICE, the first time, the other contestant volunteered to leave, thus sparing Ambreal for a few more weeks. Lisa's lack of confidence finally did her in, and she was sent packing.

Saleisha made it to the finals against a tall, beautiful, and very blonde Chantal. They competed in a show by Chinese designer Qi Gang... the dresses were complex masterpieces. Both models looked great, but my favorite stole the show!

Politics, Sports, and now High Fashion... plezWorld sure can pick 'em!

Saleisha is AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.



Saleisha and ANTM: plezWorld's Guilty Pleasure!

ANTM9 - A Guilty Pleasure in plezWorld

They're ba-a-a-ck! Cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model kicked off a few weeks ago and my Wednesday nights are now complete. After my weekly football fix (all day Saturday with SEC & ACC teams, boo-hoo'ing with the Dirty Birds on Sunday, up half the night on Monday night, and then Thursday Night College Football), I can always count on Hump Day to bring out my appreciation of the fairer sex. The premise of the show is easy: ex-Super Model Tyra Banks and her cast of characters takes 13 young women from around America and transforms them into super models by the end of the show. Using weekly photo shoot competitions and a final runway show, the last contestant standing is crowned America's Next Top Model (ANTM); she gets a photo spread in Seventeen magazine, a modeling contract, and all the Maybelline cosmetics she can stuff in an overnight bag.

As is my custom, I've been following Cycle 9 with interest. This time around, I picked my top three a few weeks ago and I tune in on a weekly basis to make sure that they don't get sent home. It's been kind of rough, because all three have been in the bottom two and risked elimination. Without further ado, my top three are:

Saleisha - She's an excellent model and is almost too cute (even though, I'm not crazy about her hair style after the makeover)!

Lisa - Long, lean, and FINE!

Ambreal - Understated elegance, slamming body, and a brilliant mind!

And this is plezWorld's Guilty Pleasure!
