At the end of the night, after saying goodbye to Bre, the two final contestants, Nik and Nicole, stood side by side awaiting the judges comments.
After the usual ambiguous showing of judges’ comments (you know, the ones that say a lot but hint at nothing), Tyra faced the girls and revealed the judges’ decision: Nicole was to be crowned Miss Universe America’s Next Top Model!
Nik, on the other hand, was devastated to find out that she’d lost. She stated, “I want that. That was my goal, that was my dream, that’s what I want. I want people to know my name. I wanted to win so bad…. I don’t know–maybe it hasn’t sunk in yet that I’m not that girl.”
Well many people know her name, and it’s quite likely someone else will give her a deal doing something or other. Kim is already guest-starring in Veronica Mars, so life for the “losers” can’t be all that tough.
Regardless, congratulations to Nicole for her win. I can’t say that I’m entirely excited. I think I preferred the contestants that got booted early on, but it’s great for her.
Nicole’s words after her revealed victory, “I was always the girl who never got that much attention, and now here I am. I’m a CoverGirl, I’m a Ford Model…. Throughout this whole competition, I just feel like I’ve grown so much, not only as a model, but as a person. This is the beginning of something great for me.”
Guess we’ll find out if that’s true!
Next week: Cycle 5′s Reunion. Dunn dunn dunnnnnn.

NIK! I love you! YOU ARE THE TRUE AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL!! FUCK YOU!! NICOLE!!!!
Nicole SuckS!!! NIK or any other gurl should have won!!! The judges and TYRA!!! need glasses!!!
Nicole is ugly. They choose her from the start for one reason she was WHITE!! NIK was more hott and beautiful and just a more natural model. She could not even do her last commercial right…”there are too many lights..” my ass. NIK SHOULD HAVE ONE!!!!!!!! thedesigner judges were really bitches …srry i take that back I was they were WHITE!!! BITCHES!!!!!!! I hope that Nicole falls on her face if she ever does their show agian. I LOVE YOU NIK…. ur the tru winner in my eyes and MANY OTHER!!! just ask people who are not blind …not the blind judges!!!! ***xoxoxo***
WELL…………I THINK THAT NIK SHOULD HAVE WON, AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. OH YEAH AND HAVING THREE ETHNIC GIRLS WINNERS IN THE ROW, WHY DOES THAT MATTER………..THE BEST MODEL/PERSON SHOULD WIN…IT SHOULDNT MATTER WHAT FREAKIN RACE U R OR DOES IT………………………..
NIK TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE WON. Nicole is so dull. It’s not just about couture. Nicole’s couture, why cause she’s white and wicked thin? Whoohoo, so am I, but that doesn’t make me stand out. If I ever saw Nicole on the street I would never, ever look twice, but Nik is a standout. Well word on the street is that they needed a white girl winner, good one Tyra, oh wait, not so much.
Nicole did not deserve to win but the show can’t have three ethnic girls winners in a row. Duh…Anywho Nicole is such a brat and she will crack under pressure. Nik should have won. Of course Nicole will be doing alot of couture…She is what america and the rest of the modeling industry wants!
I am unhappy at the final choice that was made. I honestly believe that Nik deserved to win, because she portrayed herself as an honest, and a compassionate human being, being fair throughout, and beautiful both inside and outside. These are attributes that should be embraced and not criticised. Unfortunately, the network, Tyra Banks, Twiggy (especially), and the other judges seem to send the message to the public, that it is not okay to be a good person, and that somehow, this should not be a characteristic of a top model. Have we completely regressed as human beings, or is moral bankruptcy now the norm?
America’s next top model is no longer my cup of tea. I am definitely not going to waste my time watching the next series, since the judges haven’t the decency to be fair.
Nicole was extremely immature and I honestly don’t see her surviving in the fashion world.
Sarah, that’s interesting. Thanks for posting it here. Looks like Nicole is headed toward the Big Time. Good for her. :)
Oh don’t take it so personally! If one could be more objective than the following isn’t so shocking:
Tyra just announced that Nicole will be the very first model from the show to pose in couture… AND SHE’LL BE DOING IT FOR A WHOLE YEAR! The photographer for Elle, Gilles B., loves her so much that he picked her to do the couture spreads for an entire year.
So, she’s already the most successful model ever in the show’s history and she hasn’t even started!
Congrats Nicole, Tyra, and America’s Next Top Model for this victory and shutting up the cynical naysers who said nobody on the show would ever amount to anything big.
I used to love Top Model but now I’ll never watch it again how in hell did Nicole win? She wasn’t even Cover Girl of the week not even once. I hope her modeling career tanks just like her dull pictures..
Yay for Nicole! I liked her all througout the competition so I’m really happy she one.:)
