America's Next Top Model Season Finale Odds

By Mike Seely in Top Model
Monday, Nov. 17 2008 @ 2:39PM

analeigh.jpg

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.

Tyra I really enjoy your show. May God continue to bless you. My question is why do you sometimes refer to the girls' as BITCH's? Is that what you think of them. It'S RUDE!

  • Last Night: Built to Spill @ The Showbox

    Posted November, 21 at 3:01 pm by Brian J Barr, Reverb

    Who: Built to Spill
    Where: Showbox in the Market
    When: Friday, November 20

    Watching Built to Spill last night, I couldn't help but think of what Bill Graham said about The Grateful Dead--they aren't the best at what they do, they're the only one who do what they do.

    For close to two decades, the great Idaho concern has made indie rock as soaring and sprawling and wonky as the Western U.S. territory they call home. They are very much a band from west of Rockies, which also means they have little of the drive to succeed so prevalent among East Coasters. In other words, Built to Spill doesn't really give a shit, which is both awesome and frustrating in the best possible ways.

  • New York Times Columnist Nicholas Kristof Bashes Microsoft Bing

    Posted November, 21 at 9:00 am by Brian Miller, The Daily Weekly
    microsoft-bing_logo_resize.JPG
    Don't even ask about the Dalai Lama.
    ​
    While several nice things have been written about Microsoft's new Bing search engine, including by his NYT colleague David Pogue, op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof does not agree. In a scathing Friday blog post, Kristof accuses MSFT of tailoring Chinese-language search queries in Bing to censor sensitive topics like the Dalai Lama, Tiananmen Square, and Falun Gong.

    Kristof writes that Microsoft's explanation, a software bug, "insults my intelligence and yours." He continues, "My hunch is that Microsoft simply has decided at a top level that it will compromise what principles it must to ingratiate itself with China." And further, "Now Microsoft is sacrificing the integrity of Bing searches so as to cozy up to State Security in Beijing. In effect, it has chosen become part of the Communist Party's propaganda apparatus."

    Got a response to that, Steve Ballmer?

    ​
    A reader who calls himself a current member of the band Furious Styles responds to Local Hardcore Band 'Furious Styles' Uses Cop-Killing to Sell T-Shirts. He says the murder of an innocent police officer isn't going to change his group's views on law enforcement.

    "The past day has been a shit-storm for a shirt that wasn't even supposed to reach mainstream society. This shirt wasn't a silly publicity stunt and frankly we're supprised at the ammount of attention it's recieved. We've never wanted or expected mainstream success or attention. This shirt was meant to sell to a select few fans, not to be peddled off onto Seattle's teenagers at Hot-Topic.

    Anyone who knows Furious Styles knows our stance on police and just because an officer is actually killed doesn't mean we're going to change our tune, so to speak. It wasn't a joke then and it's not a joke now.

  • It's Official: Schoolyard Heroes Are Calling It Quits

    Schoolyard Heroes at Vera Project.
    ​
    To close the book on the band after eight years of making music reaching back to core members' high school days, horror rockers Schoolyard Heroes will regroup with their classic lineup -- Ryann Donnelly, Jonah Bergman, Steve Bonnell, Brian Turner -- for December 19's Horrordays at El Corazon. It will be their last show. Kane Hodder will also be reuniting their original lineup for the show, and promptly break up.

    "I'm really glad schoolyard heroes are being put to rest the way it started," vocalist Ryann Donnelly told us yesterday before today's official announcement. "And, honestly, the reason we're calling it a day on Schoolyard isn't because we don't love it."

    Donnelly says the reason it was time to move on was that she and Bergman couldn't see working as Schoolyard without Bonnell and Turner, who exited separately within the last year.

    "It was strange to play shows as Schoolyard Heroes with different people," she says.

    In the announcement on their web site, Schoolyard hinted at the future:

    "Don't freak out! If Schoolyard Heroes has taught you anything over the years, it is that death is always around you... and that from death shall emerge new channels of destruction. Loud, distorted, maybe even operatic channels."

    We'll post more info as we get it.

  • Two Very Different Opinions on the Seattle Housing Market

    houseforsale.jpg
    To buy or not to buy? That is the question.
    ​
    CNNMoney.com reports today that if you're in the market for a lifetime's worth of debt, Seattle is a great place to live. The Emerald City placed second behind only San Francisco in a list of cities most likely to see their home values increase by 2011.

    According to forecasters polled by the cable-news giant, that means a 3.8% jump thanks to our "better than average" job market. A welcome softening of the 15% free fall housing values have taken since the bottom fell out. And a seriously delusional load of crap if you're to believe the lovable cranks over at real-estate blog Seattle Bubble.
