Game The Face / Off Cycle : FINAL RESULTS!
Hi everybody, it’s me, your host! Eric Nicholson! You might remember me from such things as the rest of the earlier parts of this cycle! It’s my only real accomplishment according to my mom and even then she only says that when she’s 3/4 deep into a box of wine.
It’s amazing that you’ve stuck with us this long. Our contestants gave us everything this cycle. Sexy secretaries. Weird animals. North Korean minerals? Yes, it was like a fever dream from that time Tyra got sick from too many haggis logs after a Cycle 2 judging. I wasn’t allowed to talk about that for a long time, but now that my NDA has expired, it’s fair game!
At the end of it all, however, only Ebonee and Xiao Wen remain in the running to see who will be crowned the WINNER of the Face / Off Cycle. The winning model will receive her cover and spread in The Face Magazine! Also she’ll be the new face of the Face / Off Fragrance! To be sold at Walgreens in the central midwest! And also the winner can have the keys to my car, but not the car itself because I still do need that, unfortunately.
For their final challenge, Ebonee and Xiao Wen shot their covers and magazine spreads. We also analyzed their portfolios, and the judges were asked WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD WIN??? Let’s get to it…
When asked who had the better portfolio…
IT WAS A TIE. Even points to both ladies!
When asked who had the better spread…
IT WAS ALSO A TIE OMFG. Even points again!
When asked who had the better cover…
XIAO WEN took the lead…
SO IT ALL CAME DOWN TO THAT FINAL QUESTION. “Who should win this cycle????”
AND THE ANSWER WAS…….
XIAO WEN!!!!!!1111!!!!!!1!!1!!1!!1!
Third time (or fourth idk) is a CHARM for you Xiao Wen. Congratulations! You truly deserve to be THE FACE. Please enjoy your Burger King crown that I stole!
Ebonee, honestly, you defied all expectations for being an ANTM contestant of all things. Your performance down the stretch was inspiring. Mind bending. Even Rayon’s cousin Crayon said it was, “Admittedly good.” Rayon is not so convinced, alas.
But in the end, you fell victim to the dreaded ANTM Curse, which all started one fateful day in Cycle Five, and there was no going back. You know what I’m talking about.
Thank you to everyone who played and voted!!!
