'America's Next Top Model' finale: Ann or Chelsey? Vote!
It's high time for the wrap up of the high fashion Cycle 15 of "America's Next Top Model." After last episode's surprise double elimination, we're left with gentle giant Ann and Idaho-grown Chelsey.
Both are pretty quirky in the looks department. Ann caused an early controversy when the network released a preview video of Miss J. Alexander wrapping his hands around her tiny waist. Tyra Banks apologized, though we're unsure why, because we soon learned that Ann was neither anorexic nor very controversial at all.
Chelsey, on the other hand, may have the more classic looks of a model. She has shown a fierce competitive spirit fueled by her lackluster modeling career up until the competition. She sees this has her last chance to hit it big and she'll do anything for the grand prize. She didn't even think twice when Tyra ordered her to have the gap between her front teeth widened by a dentist. Now that's dedication.
So, how do the girls stack up against each other?
Photo challenges: Ann is definitely the big photo challenge winner. The camera loves her and she broke "Top Model" history when she won five back-to-back photo challenges in the beginning of the competition. Chelsey, while taking good pictures throughout the competition, didn't really start getting noticed until very recently.
Personality challenges: When there's no speaking, such as in the last episode's motion editorial challenge, and no difficult movement involved (cough, skates), the motion camera still loves Ann. Chelsey definitely beats Ann in the personality and speaking department, though. She won over Vogue Italia's editor when they met her in the last episode and she was the only one to book a job in the go-see challenge.
Runway challenges: Chelsey has a fierce walk. Period. And Ann, well, she's not so graceful in general, let alone in high heels on a narrow catwalk.
Peer review: The judges definitely have a soft spot for Ann and they can see her going on to have a high fashion career, but they haven't paid much attention to Chelsey until recently. And of the eliminated Cycle 15 contestants we've spoken to, Ann got four votes for the win while Chelsey only got two.

I'm personally rooting for Chelsey, as I think her walk, personality, and overall look are better than Ann's, but I would bet every penny from the next 40 year of my salary that Ann wins this. 5 photo wins in a row, booking Vogue Italia, the ability that the judges have to not criticize her nearly as much as her competition. She's as big of a lock that there has been in Top Model history.
i like ann since the first episode, she's shy but she really got style and unique way of expressing her self in fashion world!!Other people will like her too for sure! c",)
i think ann is the ugliest contender i have ever seen. if she wins i will never watch the show again.
I've always liked Ann. She does need to improve her personality, but as she continue to succeed her confidence will push that forward. Chelsey is obiously very driven, but that makes her seems that she is trying too hard. Ann just need to trust her natural talent and run with it!
I think chelsey should win, she can handle herself in that world, ann can't take any critisism she just breaks down, people aren't going to be praising her all the time. Plus she can't walk!!
I'm pretty confident Ann is going to win and I really don't have a problem with that. I think Tyra finally realizes that personality isn't the driving force behind being a successful model anymore, since the days of the supermodel are long gone. Ann needs to work on her walk (a lot), but she can still be successful in print.
Chelsey is knowledgeable and driven, but she's older and comes off as desperate at times. Ann is not conventionally beautiful, but most models aren't these days.

I think Ann is very Tall and also very beautiful but facts are facts...Chelsey has a signature walk that is FANTASTIC..she has the knowledge..she's humble..she has the DRIVE..the personality..and also very beautiful..On a FAIR tv show..Chelsey would win...but after all this does not have the rep of a fair show...so no surprise here if Tyra's FAVORITE wins again. SMH
I was rooting for Kayce, Chris, and Chelsey. So I hpe Chelsey wins
go an, best of luck to you..wish you win the competition
