WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello to our wonderful final 2! Both of you have worked so hard to make it this far and both of you really battled it out in a pretty close finale, but it is time to choose a winner.

Norelle, you have been more of a dark horse and underdog throughout this competition. Nobody questions your potential; between your unique look, fresh age, and tall, lean body, you've definitely got the goods. You've also consistently done well and proven your versatility and capabilities time and time again, but it wasn't until last week that you finally received a first call-out. Did you stand out enough in the end to snag the win?

Yaya, you have been the more obvious threat throughout the competition and have spent plenty of time at the top. You've proven yourself versatile and capable of modeling inside and outside of photos. And unlike Norelle, you have plenty of first call-outs under your belt. However, Norelle has a bit more consistency working for her, and also has 2.5 inches on top of you and 2 years under you to add to her potential. But did your outstanding performances come through to grant you the win?

And let's take a last look at the prizes, which for one of you, are about to become completely tangible. The first is a contract with FORD models, one of the top agencies in the world; second, a 6-page fashion spread in Elle magazine; and finally, a $100,000 contract with Covergirl cosmetics! So which one of you receives the prizes? The votes are in, and with a final ratio of 5 votes to 2, the winner is...

YAYA! Yaya, you served it up strong from Week 1 and really proved yourself to be a strong, capable, stand-out model who I know will be able to leave a grand mark in her career. Congratulations Yaya, you are America's Next Top (Reloaded) Model!!!





*Hugs Norelle* Norelle, you came close and should be very proud of how far you made it. In the end, Yaya proved to be more refined and capable whereas we believe you could use a little more development, but I still think you can go very, very far. Goodbye, and good luck.
