She's pretty but IMO this shot is not ad-worthy. The hand looks small, more like a crab's claw. And there's something strange about the smile.

THIS is rated higher than Whitneys cover girl

Looking back, I didn't think she'd be able to pull CG off, but she did better than I expected. The MOUTH has got to go, though.
^^^I don't see Naima as a commercial girl at all tbh.

True. I like this alot more now that my "GAH! KAHLEN DIDN'T WIN!" phase has subsided slightly. Still hate the hand, but the face is pretty commercial for her.

^I liked Kahlen and it would've been very nice for her to win, but I have no idea how she made it past the dance week. But either way Keenyah deserved the cut 100000000x more, EVERY week...
Kahlen is talented, but inconsistent, though...

But when Kahlen performed, it was the best of the week, and usually the best of the competition. I'll take inconsistant amazement over a girl who takes "good" photos.

^I only remember her having the best of the week once TBH. The rest were great, but there were better(Aliens week had Rebecca's shot, Gas Station had Christina's, which IMO was better, Animals had Christina and Naima, which IMO were better)... Either way, I think Christina was better in the end, because she was consistent and her pictures were ALWAYS among the best(Except maybe ONCE).

I think a Kahlen Christina Brittany top 3 would of been pretty dang AMAZING

Rebecca's is a bit too long in the torso, and not alien-esque at all, where as the awkward expression and arm in Kahlen's gives a very alien feel. Christina's gas station is much to delirious and squinty-eyed for me (and the arm in the hair was MEGA-forced). Kahlen has the face and body down, which none of the girls managed. Neither Naima or Christina caught the expression of the animal in the face. Kahlen's eyebrow twinge is creepishly springbok like (not to mention springbok is the hardest animal). And although Christina did have a strong portfolio, not nearly as many shots stood out to me as the best as Kahlen's.

Just okay. Oh and Jesse_Dillon, that's my top three too!! i loved those girls so much!

My perfect top 3 is Kahlen, Michelle and Brittany with Brittany winning. Kahlen, performed well on the Aliens, Zodiac, 7 Deadly Sins, Animals and Dealing w/ the Elements shoots. Every other week, she was absolute and total crap. Maybe her Kloofing was okay, but her WonderBra, Ethnicity, Flowers and Dancing were garbage. Kahlen also would have trouble booking work due to her extreme resemblance to Carmen Kass. And she's also 5'8, no agency wants a fatter, shorter and older version of a supermodel esp. in NY.

This is gorgeous. I just wish the hand was edited out.
@David, I think you're being a little nitpicky with the shots, but I agree that Kahlen's portfolio was the best. Then again, who doesn't?

I disgree either!! I loved Michelles portfolio!!

I also like it...it's very commercial for such a girl like her

IMO this is one of my fave CG shots in ANTM history.

she looks like a little boy. but this pic is ok.

^?

@Costa, the majority of Michelle's and Brittany's shots were either ok or really bad. And Kahlen's portfolio wasn't perfect, but she was more consistent, and her better shots were better than their's. As for Christina, she was the most consistent, but I have a hard time remembering some of her shots. Most of Kahlen's shots are some of the most memorable of the cycle.

^I disagree, Kahlen was very pretty so I think sometimes she gets a pass on some of her worse shots, Michelle and Brittany were consistently better than Kahlen, but I do think Kahlen earned her spot in the final 2, had Michelle been more confident...I'm not sure I would have kept Kahlen past the CG shot.

^Michelle, Kahlen and Brittany are ALL gorgeous.

-Michelle had problems with controlling her face. Alot of the times, her face is what KILLS the shot(Aliens, Gas station, Sins). And some of her stronger shots were overrated(Animals. It was good but all shots were. This shot was the only one that wasn't animalistic. And Wonderbra. The pose did not work for her hips. She looks alot bigger)
-Brittany had problems posing in ways that do justice to her body(Kloofing, Dance, Gas Station) and taming her sex appeal(Aliens, 1-800 flowers). And sometimes, her shots looked like she wasn't trying at all(Gas Station, 7 Deadly Sins & Ethnicity swap). And the rest are good, but overrated(Zodiac. In her defense, the styling did not do her justice, but I saw little to no difference in her facial expression from 1-800 flowers to this shot. The only difference is the body pose didn't add to that, so the shot isn't BAD. Just could've been better. As her other "good" photos, most of them, like I said before, weren't flattering angles on her body).
Now Kahlen, on the other hand, had two BAD shots(1-800 flowers, Dance), and two OK shots(Covergirl and Ethnicity swap). The rest were pretty much perfect.

^I disagree, Kahlen's WonderBra was ghastly and all 4 of the shots you named were terrible too. I like Kahlen, but she is overrated, she is a shorter, older, fatter version of Carmen Kass [not saying she is fat, but her body is not as good as Carmen's] Michelle has one of my favorite faces and she while she was a bit bulkier, she wasn't huge or anything, no bigger than Brita. I'd take Kahlen over Michelle because she performed better, but Brittany over Kahlen. If we were going by potential, it'd be Michelle>Brittany>Kahlen.
