It’s been a while, and I have slacked on my picks for some of the more recent seasons of America’s Next Top Model. But I figured in keeping with the superficial female beauty contest theme of late, that I may as well bring it back. After picking poorly last time out, I need to redeem myself with America’s Next Top Model Season 9. (here are some picks from previous seasons)

Overall, this group looks like just a bunch of pretty girls, which is different than a bunch of models. I am guessing that casting (after nine seasons), is now really more concerned with on set drama than with actually picking a legit model here…so let’s work with what we’ve got.

Here are my picks, and I am only going with two this time around, since the field is pretty weak.

1. Jenah - This (to me) is what a model looks like. Pasty, waif-ish, vapid, and empty looking, but with basic pretty features. She is pretty, but in a blank canvas sort of way, so she can easily be transformed into all sorts of other looks, but still maintain that pretty look. I am thinking Jenah (despite the stupid spelling of her name), will take this year’s prize.
2. Saleisha - This is just a good looking girl. Nice symmetrical features, plain-ish and naturally pretty look, and look at the photo….she knows how to stand like a model, which from what I have seen, takes some of these girls a lot of time to figure out how to do.

Disagree with me? Pick your own. Here is a poll to pick the winners of America’s Next Top Model, cycle 9.
