ANTM round up

It’s Jaslene!

It was a crazy ANTM final, with the crown going to the Latina spitfire Jaslene. After Renee was ousted on the first half of the show for “looking too old”, it came down to Jaslene and Russian mail order bride Natasha.
Was it fair to drag Renee all the way into the final round just to tell her- yet again- that she looks over the hill at twenty? If they had a problem with her look, they should have cut her early. After all, that’s not exactly something she can work on, like her runway walk. My ANTM crew was shocked to see her ousted, especially since she only looks old because of the 40-year-old-housewife haircut they gave her on the show.
While Natasha was sweet, I can’t imagine them hiring a cover girl model that has so much trouble with her English. Though her bubbly outlook is refreshing, there’s just something a bit off about Natasha.
So, it’s Jaslene, the Illinois native who’s “never been nowhere except the hood and around the corner” is America’s Next top Model. The story is particularly heartwarming because Jaslene tried out- and was cut- last year, before re-grouping, doing some soul searching (and therapy) and coming back to conquer the competition.
