After her incredible catwalk showing in China and spot-on metamorphosis into a true-blue Cover Girl, 21-year-old California girl Saleisha seemed an apt choice to win "Top Model." I have to say though, if the judges were really looking for "top model" potential - and not cutesy, cover-of-Seventeen potential - they would have gone with Jenah, whose wounded honesty and consistently flawless photos, for me, scream high-fashion. I think Tyra should get real and repackage the show as "America's Next Top Cover Girl" because, let's face it, this franchise isn't turning out the next Naomi, Linda or Gisele. Come to think of it, "Top Model" cast-offs Adrianne Curry and nutbar Lisa D'Amato are way more famous (ok, infamous) than any previous cycle winners. Let's hope Saleisha makes the most of her 15 minutes.

uh, Adrianne Curry WON cycle 1....she was the first winner...who is Lisa?

Lisa is the chick who's hanging out with Cisco Adler now. And yes, let's hope this girl has a better run than the last 8. Eva is the best known, but even she isn't doing the Naomi/Kate/Linda, hell even Tyra... none of these girls ever do.

While I'm happy for Saleisha, I'm hoping the next cycle will be more entertaining...

I was rooting for Jenah too.
