"Great"

By Vague_Memories, Dec 31, 2005

I loved the Covergirl shots this season. And I really enjoyed that they showed the girls actually taking the Ellegirl shot for once. Usually you have to wait for whatever it is to come out. And Im sorry but I just didnt want Bre to win. After that whole redbull syndrome, I was rather put off. It was childish and rude of her. Anyways, so yeah, Ive heard a lot of complaining about Nicole being the winner.
"Nik should have won!! She'll always be the winner!! Nicole is whiney and !!" blah blah blah.....
For me, whoever is the last two, Im usually pretty impressed by both girls (except the third season...I wanted Eva to win SOOO badly). Nik or nicole...either one was fine with me. Nik is a lady and true that her pictures are great but her personality was just....blah. And I liked Nik from the start next to Kim. Nicole was one of my "dead last" people. But I ended up growing to like her. She has a very Vougeish type of body and her face is veery pretty. Come on stop complaining about it already. Both girls were fantastic and its never easy to choose who should've been picked. Just because Nik was consistent in her photos doesnt mean she was going to automatically win. All in all, like I said either way I would have been fine. This was a highlight and a twist for my whole year since Naima won.moreless

"Fair"

By FaithTheSlayer, Dec 28, 2005

didnt deserve to win. Nik is and will always be ANTM. I never liked Nicole. She was the whiney annoying girl. Lisa deserved the title ANTM more than Nicole! I am still very upset at Tyra for saying why Nicole won "We wanted a REAL MODEL to win this season." What is she trying to say, Nik isnt a real model?! This was my least favorite finale of all time.

Nik and Nicole compete in a fashion show and Nicole is given the prize.

7.0

"Good"

By jessjanet, Dec 20, 2005

I do not agree with this year's winner at all!! Nicole is pretty and takes nice pictures and everything, but I do not see how in the world she beat Nik, who was constantly at the top of the line throughout the whole season. Nik should have won, plain and simple. It really boiled my blood during the final judging when they were criticizing Nik's walk during the fashion show. I thought it was fierce! Nicole's walk wasn't nearly as good and her poses at the end of the runway sucked. I just don't get it. I hate to bring race into it but its hard not to think that the fact that the last two ANTMs were black or partially-black made them want to make sure the next one was different, regardless of whether or not she deserved it. It was just too obvious. Though I would like to think that a show with a black woman as it's creator and who is a supermodel herself and knows how tough it is in this business for a black woman wouldn't succomb to that, I guess you just never know. On the reunion show, Tyra actually explained why Nicole won, which leads you to believe that there's been a lot of questions and/or uprising about the decision. She's never had to do that with any of the other winners. Even Nicole's walk on the reunion show was awful!! They call THAT high fashion?? Come on! And while I think that the runner's up in the first two seasons were more deserving than the girls that actually won, this year it's just ridiculous. I haven't come across a person YET that thinks Nicole should have won! That's all right, though...Nik is STILL going to be a top model, regardless of all those people on that show not giving her her props and begrudging her of what was rightfully hers.moreless

"Poor"

By bluediamondz, Dec 17, 2005

This show is rigged! I mean, how could Nichole win? That was the most season finale I ever saw!! It's like a Mercedes and Yohanna momment all over again! I was ticked that time too. Nik REALLY shoulda won. I mean she more talented and she, she's nice, she takes better pictures, and she was cover girl for so many weeks! It was a waste of my time!!!
