I really do think Laura will be getting work. I mean if I was booking a campaign right now I’d definately want Laura to audition for it. I love her and her charm and think she appeals to women and men. Love her.

But Nicole, STUNNING. I can’t wait to see what all she does!

Whose CG commercial was better?=Both of them, they both need to work on some issues. I love Laura accent, but like Nigel mentioned her annunciation wasn’t easy to listen to. On the other hand I think that Nicole had the best voice I could just listen to her talk like that in any commercial, just wish she talk more like that all the time.

Whose CG ad was better?=Nicole, I thought Laura could have done so much better but in the end, side by side, I immediately look at Nicole’s.

Do you like Ann Shoket?=Nope, she’s not like Nina Garcia or those from the other magazine shows, she’s not critical enough to encourage the girl more.

What did you think of the runway show concept?=Mr. Jay definitely knows how to put on a show, everything, the set up the cloths was beautiful to watch.

Who walked the runway better?=Laura did, but it wasn’t something that makes you notice her. Nicole runway was excruciating to watch but they both could improve.

Are you surprised Nicole won?=Nope, I was kind of hoping for a shocker that Tyra would finally have two winners instead of just one. But I would have been happy if Laura had won also because she’s so sweet. They both work so hard during the whole competition and I’m so glad that they weren’t involve too much in house drama. They both have the potential to go far as long as they keep on improving/evolving their talent. In the end I can’t fault the judges for choosing Nicole. I mentioned before, the final were just going to be Nicole vs. just anybody.

I also was getting sick of everyone calling Nicole snotty and fake. She is a little monotone but her commercial was beautiful and it was completely her own personality, and not some fake ditsy model. (I was surprised Tyra suggested she should act like in between her lines, tsk tsk). Laura’s lack of depth of character was really why she wasn’t chosen, but I hope she does make it somehow.

Last years choice was a mess. Teyona sounded dreadful in this episode and clearly she was reading off a terribly written cue card. YIKES! Little girls at home don’t become that please.

I guess the last thing to post for this cycle is (and it takes great pleasure in saying)… Easy, Breasy, Beautiful, Nicole’s a COVER GIRL!

I think both girls deserved the title. On the other hand, I think being the runner-up is sometimes better

Whose CG commercial was better?
I felt both of them did equally good.

Whose CG ad was better?
Definitely Nicole. Like Tyra said, she looked relaxed but confident at the same time. Laura’s CG ad was plain boring, although she looked pretty.

Do you like Ann Shoket?
No. No. No.

What did you think of the runway show concept?
I feel that the concept was very plain and uninteresting, unlike Cycle 11 where there was those wacky runway steps and hills. This cycle’s runway show was just eh.

Who walked the runway better?
Both did an amazing job. Laura had a better walk but Nicole stood out.

Are you surprised Nicole won?
No. She totally deserved this and she looks like a model in person and in her photos. Nicole has always been consistent in her photoshoots and Laura has been week in her photos the past few weeks. Like what Tyra said, Nicole is a high fashioned model. She totally deserved this!

2)Whose CG commercial was better?
- they both were excellent– Laura kind of popped more, just because her eyes really stand out, especially with the make up they gave her, but i like looking at Nicole better– but they both did an amazing job, and the commercial was so cute!

3)Whose CG ad was better?
- NICOLES!!! for sure, it was sultry, sexy, exotic, yet very covergirl, very commercial, and very relatable! Nicole was acting, she gives a HUGE variety of looks! Laura’s was very good as well, but Nicole’s just popped, I could look at it all day!

4)Do you like Ann Shoket?
- everyone seems to dislike her, which i think is pretty funny! Personally I don’t mind her, though I don’t think she’s very knowledgeable about the fashion world/ modeling industry… though if Miss Jay leaves, Ann Shoket would NOT be a good replacement– they need a crazy personality, first Janice, then Miss Jay, they need someone who could fill both of their shoes… dont know who that could be though.

5) What did you think of the runway show concept?
- can’t we just go back to normal runway shows!! it wasnt too bad, but I would prefer a simple runway show…

6) Who walked the runway better?
- I think I just have a bias towards Nicole, but I enjoyed watching her in the runway show most.. though her walk was a little heavy, and awkward ( the panel was right though, saying it was signature– and look at Karlie Kloss, her walk is awkward, and who isnt she walking for!) Laura did have a better flow, though it looked like she was just walking down the street… Nicole looked the part too, Laura just looked like a pretty girl!

Are you surprised Nicole won?
- I am not, I think overall she was much stronger– though Laura was fantastic too!

Secondly, while Nicole was always my favourite, Laura did better overall this episode. With that said, I was hoping Laura would win so that she’d be stuck with all this Top Model stuff to come (like participating in fake runway shows and being on the Tyra show). Everyone knows that the girl who wins Top Model never has an actual career. So I was really hoping Nicole would lose so that she’d get signed and hopefully do some real modeling.

I also have to say that I was shocked that the real modelly type actually won! This is the first time a “weird”, shy girl who looks like a high fashion model actually won…I was left speechless. I hate to say it though, but I think Nicole’s chances of being a successful model went out the window with this title.
