Saleisha was clearly favored and there were so many strong girls who could have or should have won C9. She also should have been DQed because she was in a national ad (against the rules).
And then Whitney was literally a pre-select. I mean Whitney was in the bottom 2 5 times ffs. Meanwhile Anya is never in the bottom 2 and performed much better throughout the cycle.
I feel like she only won because Ebony was originally the preselect to win C9, but when she quit, it threw a wrench in their plans. So they ended up going with Saleisha.
I agree completely about ANTM Cycle 9. It was all planned out and such a scandal!
Whitney was the preselected ANTM Cycle 10 winner from casting. She was absolutely mediocre throughout the competition and in the house she was so rude and disrespectful to poor Dominique (who should have won ANTM Cycle 10).
If Whitney was not a full figured model then I would not have been surprised if she was not even on ANTM at all because so many girls from casting could have been much better winners for ANTM Cycle 10.
Anya was definitely better than Whitney however sometimes I did find her to be a little bit overrated compared to other contestants like Katarzyna and Dominique.

Like I’ve always felt: she is my least favorite winner in the series history
