A review of the final episode:
Tyra Mail! 'Be on point tomorrow or you can kiss this competition goodbye'
The girls get scripts so they know they are doing CoverGirl commercials.
All three girls are super excited to be in the final three, and while Allison is nervous she is ready to give it her all.
They arrive the next day at the shoot and Jay is there and find out they are doing a commercial and photoshoot, which will be a national ad if they win. Mickey is there to introduce the new product (Outlast lipstick) and the girls have to sell it.
Aminat goes first for her commercial and she knows she can't screw up. Her first take is a bit plastic though and Jay stops her, but the second time she does a lot better and her shoot looks good too.
Allison is next and her first take is not very good as she forgets her lines. She gets a bit flustered but she does much better the second time. Her shoot is pretty too and it seems to go well.
Teyona's shoot is last and she needs a lot of takes to get her words out. She then sings her song that she made up but that doesn't seem to go much better; she gets frustrated and starts to cry because she's so nervous.
Commercial
Teyona is still crying but she does a fairly good job after a bit of time and her shoot is nice and she does well.
The girls arrive back to the house for Tyra Mail 'Tomorrow you will meet with the judges, only two will continue in the hopes of becoming America's Next Top Model'
All three are nervous about panel, but Teyona is upset again because she feels like she let herself down. She's really upset.
It's the next day though and the girls have to go to judging panel. There will now only be two finalists.
They show their commercial with all three of them together and it's quite cute.
Then they go through them individually.
Teyona's commercial is not good; she keeps fumbling over her words and struggling and she starts to cry in panel again. The judges seem to be sympathetic though. Her photo is gorgeous though and looks amazing.
Allison is next and her commercial is better than Teyona's and Tyra's said it was almost there. Paulina had praise for her though. Her still shoot is good and she looks amazing.
Aminat's commercial is good and she's expressive. The judges love it. Her still shot is not as good though and the judges felt she could have done better.
The judges now have to deliberate.
Commercial
The judges decide which two girls deserve to stay and take part in the fashion show. They like all three of them for different reasons.
The girls come back in and Tyra only has two photos in her hands.
Allison is called first!
Aminat and Teyona are left and only one of them can continue.
Teyona gets to stay!
Aminat has to go home and she's really upset but Tyra says she is stunning but she needs to work on her facial poses.
Now it's just Allison and Teyona. They leave immediately for their photo shoot for Seventeen Magazine and get to put on cute clothes and pose for the camera. It's a tight race between the two.
The next day the girls arrive for the fashion show for Rosa Cha, and they will get to walk the runway in front of thousands of people. Mickey is also there.
Tyra comes backstage to see them and says hi, which makes them more nervous.
Commercial.
The fashion show is about to start and the girls are really nervous.
Mickey is first and she does a good job. Teyona comes next and she walks well too, and Allison does a really good job; she doesn't look nervous at all.
The first part of the show ends and the girls have to get into an elevator and go back up for the next part where they have to almost samba down the runway. Allison does a little hip shake when she goes past the judges.
The finale of the show is the girls writhing down the runway and slithering all over the floor. It's actually quite sexual to watch.
Tyra seems really pleased with them, but it quickly turns into judging panel and the decision has to be made.
Both girls are judged at the same time.
The judges liked Allison in the show and that surprised them.
They thought Teyona was a bit robotic at times on the runway.
They then look at all of their photos over the competition and compare them to each other.
Allison seems to be the frontrunner for most of the photos but it is pretty much neck and neck.
Commercial
The judges are deliberating who could be the next top model. They like both of them for different reasons and it's impossible to predict who could be the winner. But the decision is made...
The girls are called back in and the decision is announced...
Teyona Anderson!
She gets to go do a photo shoot with Tyra right away and now she gets to be the next top model.
It's only going to go up for her from now on...
Thanks for reading the reviews!

Tyra probably picked Teyona, because she would be working at McDonald's otherwise. Her lack of personality and range would have crushed her in the modeling industry without Top Model to help her get started. So why does Tyra have a thing for Teyona? Why would she RIG the show to help her win?... Could Teyona be Tyra's daughter!!! TEYONA IS TYRA'S LOVE CHILD!? Perhaps! Its the only reasonable explanation for this mess of a finale!!

I have to say that I knew Teyona was going to win, but I really wanted Allison to win personally - I thought she was the better contender.

Teyona comes from family of successful people to include myself. I don't think Mickey D's was in her future. And no Tyra is not related to us, loser. Teyona has done a great job in this competition as did all the girls. They should all be proud of themselves and I wish them all great success, whether it be in modeling or any other endeavor choose to pursue.

While I am not much of an expert on America's Next Top Model, the article was great. Good work.

I'm a guy, and I'm a freak for this show - no, that doesn't mean I'm gay...but I am - I just wanted to say that I thought Aminat was amazing, and absolutely deserved to be int he final three - I hope she has a wonderful career as a model. However, I agree with most people, in that Allison DEFINATELY deserved to win here. She showed remarkable improvement from the start (remember her walk?), and even with that, her photos were amazing from the beginning - those EYES! LOVED EM!! Teyona was unique as well, wind-swept face and all, but she took a while to come on. I think she did a great job, but Allison was the best of the bunch and should have won - Tyra definately had her favorite from the beginning and saw her through to the end. Tyra, you need to make sure that Allison gets a bonus leg up in the industry from you for sweeping the ANTM title out from under her! :)
luvs!
