Nik has NOT gotten more work, and saying so is silly.

Nicole got one of the best looks in ANTM and is one part of the reduced group of contestants that could become supermodels. And I'm not talking just about America'sNTM, Im takin it worldwide.
Nicole is like a typicall "american beauty" with a shot of HF. She could totally work for big designers and grace the cover of prestigious magazines. She has a nice step, a magnificient look and great pictures.
Nik probably was more consistant, but when it came to produce give your all in a photoshoot, Nicole kicks Nik's ass big time.
Nik's best shot is her Bollywood IMO, and its not even close to Nicole's Countryside Couture.
While she was not my favorite model, I must admit that she deserved to win. Not because she had great photos but because she has "the look". While people like Nik or Lisa performed consistently well, their overall look is not in par with Nicole's (modelling-wise)
Looking back, I think this is the best Tyra's ever looked in any winner shots. Loving it. I still disagree with her win. Maybe because in C1-4, they stressed talent and all that, over just potential. I feel that Nik outperformed Nicole twenty times over, but Nicole won based on potential alone. If that was what the show was about why drag girls like Nik and Lisa along, giving them hope that they could actually win for their hard work? And why not crown girls like Elyse, Shandi, Marjorie, etc(High fashion girls who took even better shots than Nicole) the winners of their cycles?
l love this shot...l am sure she does not intentionally try to take the spotlight from others..She just looks like she is saying, "l'm still the mama, but u are the daughter of fierce"..She looks a tad vulnerable, which is great, but she looks poised for the quest, ahead..One of the best Winner/Tyra shots, ever..
