^^^It's ludicrous. Ludacris is the rapper. And nobody from that cycle seems to be doing much of anything, print runway or otherwise, so anyone's opinion of who "deserved" to win is valid. I personally don't think winning ANTM has much bearing on any of these girls' careers, unless you're Nicole Fox and got signed to an agency that's actually going to market you. If Brie or Analeigh or Samantha had won, who knows what their careers would look like now, for better or worse?
Samantha's portfolio was incredible. Analeigh was a nice girl and started turning it out in Amsterdam and was eliminated because of her commercial even after getting FCO for their first CG commercial. McKey was bland until Amsterdam and even then, her photos weren't amazing. I wasn't too much of a Sheena fan either, tbh, and Marjorie and Elina were just...crazy. Haha.
bluslayzler, calm down, dude. Not everyone is gonna love your favorite. I have a few things, though: 1) It is untrue that editorial/runway models make no money. 2) You cannot fault Lauren Brie for being editorial and then fault Samantha in subsequent posts for not being editorial. 3) Lauren Brie and Marjorie (and maaaaybe Elina and Brittany) are the only ones that season who did not suck. I think either of them deserved to win. IMO, everyone else was too short, too fat, too ugly, and/or too commercial.
