"America's Next Top Model" endst because Tyra has a soft spot for women who can keep modeling through difficulty. During the requisite flashbacks throughout the season, Brittani was the girl who grew up in a trailer park and took care of her sociallyed this week, not with a bang but with a whole lot of whimpering. This was the first finale in several cycles in which there wasn't a clear front-runner. Brittani has a quirky, high-fashion look and a searing runway , but Molly had been taking pictures that made the judges drool all throughout their trip to Morocco.
What it really came down to was attitude. It turns out that a bad attitude alone won't get you sent home, but if Tyra and the Jays are choosing between two fairly equally matched contestants and one is actually easy to work with, the model with a sunnier disposition will win every time. In the end, Brittani won despite her spectacular runway boo-boo because she was just easier to work with.
Then again, it may just because Tyra has a soft spot for women who can keep modeling through difficulty. During the requisite flashbacks throughout the season, Brittani was the girl who grew up in a trailer park and took care of her socially anxious mother, while Molly's bitter crankiness stemmed from, as the voiceover put it, having "loving adoptive parents who've supported her every step of the way." Hmmm, tip your hand a bit, Tyra? During their Covergirl commercial, Molly got wound up and came across as a sour princess while Brittani managed to charm her way through it with ease. At the next photo shoot — this one for Beauty in Vogue — Molly was complaining like a starving Dickensian orphan because she was cold and someone forgot to put chicken in her lunch.
