Alexandra didn't make it to the top 2, so that's a relief. But Angelea was eliminated, too, so that's a bummer. But as I wrote earlier, with Krista and Raina in the top 2, I'd be happy with either girl winning.
But as Tyra always says, "there can only be one, America's Next Top Model."
And it's Krista! The oldest winner to date.
I'm glad that she made it. She was so insecure when the contest started, but she blossomed and blossomed and became fiercer and fiercer.
What struck me most about this cycle was how gracious the two girls were. When Krista was announced as the winner, there was no trace of sadness or disappointment on Raina's face. She took it so positively - and focused on what she learned rather than what she lost. And Krista was also magnanimous in her victory. Notice how she said "Sorry" to Raina after her name was announced. It was almost like she felt bad for beating someone else for the prize. (Which reminded me of that year when Kim Basinger beat Gloria Stuart for the Oscar best supporting actress plum. Kim looked like she was so sorry she won.)
Congratulations, Krista. And to Raina, you don't need a "title" to succeed. I'm sure you'll make it big in the industry as well.
