Wanna be on top? Live Blogging America's Next Top Model Finale

This spring's cycle of America's Next Top Model has been pretty lackluster. Aside from Cecilia's outing of Talia as homesick early on in the competition, cycle twelve has lacked much of the drama and intrigue that ANTM is known for. Tyra's favorite has been obvious (and I mean waaaay obvious) for way too long and Nigel doesn't even appear to have a crush on a contestant this time around, which feels like an ANTM sin.

But I'm still watching and totally stoked to see if Allison, my favorite model wannabe this cycle, will trip or trot down the final runway, or hell, even make it there. Keep refreshing for up to the minute commentary on the cycle 12 finale.

The pressure is on Aminat's throat? Is she misusing the expression or smarter than she's led us to believe? After all, the pressure of the script does, indeed, rely on her throat, sort of.

Now, I'm nervous for Allison. They showed like five seconds of her working on her commercial and it was not so good. And Teyona got the best commercial outfit.

I think they are making it obvious here that a, either Teyona will be shockingly eliminated before the runway or b, that she is definitely the winner. She is the only one is getting a story line during the commercial and that seems pretty important one way or the other.

I like that Teyona finally seems human. She spent half of the cycle completely casual and then the other half completely confident - I like that she's being honest and the tears seem pretty genuine.

Why did we not see footage of the other scenes? Those used to be featured too. Hmm.

I think Allison's photos will save her. But I think her commercial was even worse than the judges thought.

Or will Aminat be saved by her commercial?

Allison called first - I'm not sure that was the right call. And I also think it lowers her chances of winning, since most of the time, the person called first for the final two is less likely to win. (Also, Tyra's hair...wah, wah, wah, to quote Tyra herself).

I think I liked the fro on Aminat - it made her look more interesting and more like the runway model I hope she becomes. Good luck, Aminat, Tyra speed.

I'm pretty sure Teyona is going to kick ass on this - watching Allison on go-sees earlier this cycle was painful. But I guess you never know - Teyona could fall a la Chantal in cycle nine.

Allison is not as bad as I had anticipated, but Teyona is still better. Although, I never know how to judge the runway walks. To me, walking in heels alone is pretty incredible. And what was that? Runway slugging?

They have to be in bikinis for final judging? This is not Miss America, boo.

The photos always make it seem so close, but I never really think it is for the judges. Also, I missed that episode with Ciara - and I'm kind of glad I did.

And Tyra's hair is wah, wah, wah again.

And I'm not surprised. She's certainly not the worst they could have picked this season. But I do wish her montage speech had been a little more articulate. And I also wish she didn't have to win the whole shabang while wearing a two piece.
