America's Next Top Model Season Finale Odds

America's Next Top Model's 11th cycle all comes down to Wednesday's season finale; but really, the effort to actually select a top model ended two episodes ago, when Elina, a uniquely attractive teenaged lesbian from Seattle, was eliminated. We were pretty sure she was going to win, and boy we were we wrong. What we're left with is a Final Three populated by sweet, athletic, generally uninspiring cuties who don't drink. Thus, the winner is destined to be America's Next Target (as in the dept. store) Model, and here's our handy handicapper's guide to whose picture will reside beneath the black drape in the show's final minute.

Samantha, 20-1. Despite her morning line odds of 50-1, she's made some nice strides in recent weeks. But still, her look is simply too conventional to go the distance. What we thought would be a classic fourth-place finisher now looks primed to be a classic bronze medalist.

McKey, 3-1. Her boxer's background and personality are sufficiently odd enough to merit serious co-favorite consideration, and she has the most "signature" look of the final slate of fillies. That may be enough to put her over the top, but she's not as well-rounded (i.e., didn't bring it to the Cover Girl ad) as her chief rival, who we're betting will win a photo finish here.

Analeigh, 2-1. She's performed at the most consistently high level throughout this competition, and everybody -- especially Nigel Barker -- seems to genuinely love her look and personality. If she doesn't win, it's because the champ of two years back, Saleisha, was cut from a similar cloth constitutionally (if not ethnically) -- and Banks & Co. are always fond of rocking the boat. But we're guessing that if they really wanted to make that sort of splash, they would have made sure Elina galloped across the line first. Hence, Mrs. Consistency (pictured above) should narrowly prevail come Wednesday evening.
