Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Well, well, well... I think most watchers of America's Next Top Model thought that, going into last night's finalé, Elyse had it locked up. But she had a very bad first half of the show, and got sent home going into the final two, which left Shannon and Adrienne to work the catwalk in the Baby Phat show during Fashion Week. I was honestly surprised by the final result, if only because Shannon tore that runway up and even convinced supertranny - er, supermodel - Janice Dickinson that she was the one. But in the end, it was Adrienne who is America's Next Top Model. I can't wait to see her in Revlon ads. Girl is fierce as hell.

Side note: amazingly, I got Michael to watch with me. He even seemed entertained. My favorite shared moment came during the first hour recap show, when after not more than 15 minutes, he turned to me and said regarding Robin, "please tell me she gets sent home."
