Rainy morning. It stormed a lot last night -- big, gusty lightning and thunder. Love it! I would've slept through it, but the bronchitis woke me up, and then the cat woke me up a few hours later. And then B2 wanted chocolate milk. Kinda sleep-deprived today!So, last night was the ANTM finale; I only caught an hour of it, but it was the final hour. Dead-eyed Krista was the winner, with heavily-eyebrowed Raina (too much eyebrows, even for me!) was runner-up. I think Raina will likely do better than Krista in the business, just because she seemed actually to be a better model -- Krista's dead eyes were leaden in every shot she took. I have to see what her sign is -- December 19 -- Sagittarius. Huh. Well, her eyes almost guarantee her doom in a modeling career. They're distractingly empty (left). See? All of her shots were like that, just this emaciated face and razorblade clavicles and then those dead eyes staring out at you. Clearly Tyra et al. just wanted Krista to win, and they ran with that. I'm always suspicious of the results on ANTM, whether they just fix their gaze on particular contestants and settle on them early on and wend the way through the show. It hardly matters, as I don't think any of the contestants who've won ANTM have ever gone on to be successful models, or certainly not supermodels of any stripe. I mean, have any of them done so? I don't think so. They just disappear.
Raina should have won, but almost invariably the one I think should've won never does.
I think being runner-up is likely a better prize, anyway, as it'll give one exposure without the onus of being the actual ANTM winner -- sort of like how being runner-up on American Idol can often be better than winning outright. So, good luck, Raina. Don't pluck those Peter Gallagheresque eyebrows! Weirdly, she actually kind of resembles Peter Gallagher, upon reflection. Like he could be her dad.
Speaking of contests and what-not, "So You Think You Can Dance?" should be on again at some point, shouldn't it? That's my favorite of those shows, since dancers never properly get their due.
