America's Next Target Model: The Final Four

Last Wednesday, America's Next Target Model (aka "America's Next Top Model") continued its tradition of cutting its best-looking contender with the ouster of Katarzyna Dolinska, previously a 4-1 morning line shot in Thread Count's ANTM handicapping series. That leaves four fillies remaining in a mediocre head-scratcher of a Distaff home stretch. But we'll do our best to try and forecast which one has the best shot of ending up in the winner's circle.
Dominique Reighard, 5000-1. She's still on the board simply to give ANTM the air of drama, seeing as she seized the "bitch" mantra early on. There's simply no way a girl this repugnant can win, no matter how well she (inexplicably) photographs. The last filly of this ilk was the too-old Jade, and she made the Final Three a few years ago. That's the ceiling for 'Nique, but ain't no way is she America's Next Target Model.
Anya Kop, 5-1. Her super annoying Hawaii-Rican accent aside, this lithe bottle blonde is the most conventional pick remaining in the field, and she's certainly put together the most consistent record coming into the final turn. But we don't think convention will prevail in the year when Tyra & Co. are afforded the opportunity to tap a legitimately attractive plus-sizer.
Fatima Siad, 4-1. The biggest mover in the field, this Iman doppelganger with a circumcised vagina (hence, she has a cause to tout, which is always a plus) has a striking look, a reasonably intelligent head on her shoulders, and has made a strong move from the back of the pack. But we feel like her final push will come up a neck short.
Whitney Thompson, 3-1. Holding steady at 3-1, the curvaceous Thompson has more problems to overcome than her two strongest rivals: the judges think her personality and camera presence are a little too fake and beauty queenish. But they can't stop gushing about her "beautiful face" -- and, more importantly, the panel has yet to assign its plus-sized contestants anything more than token status since the show's debut. Thompson wouldn't be in here if Banks, Nigel and the Jays weren't intent on breaking that awful streak. Thompson's our pick, by a (thicker than usual) neck.
