Analeigh's interview with Top Model Gossip (all of McKey's interviews are posted in her thread)
Towards the end of competition, the judges were saying you should look at acting. What did you think of that? Is that something you want to pursue?
I think I will try to pursue both modeling and acting. I will definitely modeling on the more commercial side, which spills into acting. I love doing both so much. It’s kind of ironic that the last thing Tyra said was “You should go into acting!” when I was kind of eliminated because of my commercial. I love acting, I love modeling, hopefully I can do both.
You have a background in ice skating. Was there anything you used for your advantage?
Throughout the competition, I believe it was the mentality that helped me. It was being able to not look at the other girls and compete with them, but compete with myself. In skating, you compete with yourself, and how well you’re doing, so I really brought that to the competition. I had that background of being so competitive through my entire life, so that helped. The posing made it a challenge at first, as I took everything so literally. Mr. Jay helped me in taking my 3D poses, and making them 2D.
Was it weird not being on skates when doing theatrical things?
It was so weird! It was really frustrating, people kept saying “Use your figure skating!” But it’s a whole other ball game when you have to bring that to a photo. I think people were expecting this ballerina thing, but figure skating is different than that. It’s more athletic. I think once I just relaxed, and started to more mix the skating with modeling, it worked better.
What’s more intense: figure skating outfits or modeling outfits and make-up?
Modeling hands-down! Though I have had some crazy figure skating outfits! One time I had to wear a big unicorn head. I got really dizzy and could barely see and it was intense! But I think some of the hair and make-up I had during the competition was more exaggerated and crazy than figure skating outfits could ever be.
After doing so well in the first commercial, how did it feel to not perform at the same level in the second commercial?
It felt like crap, to be honest. I disappointed myself. I was so excited for the Covergirl commercial. I knew I could rock it. They could pick on my modeling, but I knew they liked the way I acted. But then I got on set, and it was NOTHING, and my heart was breaking, and I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t remember the lines, when before I had them down PERFECTLY. I just couldn’t get over the fact I was blowing it.
What did you think your chances were of making top two after the commercial?
All the girls said they didn’t do well on their commercials, so I really wasn’t sure. I knew Sam and McKey had such strong features so I knew their photos would turn out well. I think I knew that McKey would go through, but I really wasn’t sure between Sam and I. I got into panel, saw my picture and commercial, and my critique was bad, but so was Sam’s. So I really had no idea until Tyra spoke to both of us. After she said her bit to me, I just closed my eyes, and I knew that was going. But until then, I still had a strong belief I could still be in the running.
How do you think you would have done on the crazy runway?
The runway is one of my strongest things. I think I had one of the best runway walks. I don’t think they showed it, but Tyra said I had the best way back during the last panel. I knew I could do that runway so well, but Sam and McKey rocked it as well. I think it would have been a blast for me to do it too.
How did you feel about your makeover? Did you keep it?
I’m still pretty blonde! I miss my brown hair, that’s my natural color, and I never had it this blond before. I kinda feel a little more average California now, whereas before I felt more… unique. I miss my brown hair. I thought they were going to go darker on me, but then I opened my eyes and… blonde. But blonde hair matches clothing so much better, so it’s okay.
Did you feel that you got enough training throughout the competition from the judges?
They gave really good information back, and it’s really helpful. You can’t take everything that they say to heart. You have to find yourself in what they’re saying. Some of it can be overwhelming, but you definitely learn a lot. I think modeling is really kind of a long learning process. So many times and aspects and situations, there’s no way you can learn how to be a perfect model. There is no such thing as a perfect model, because nobody fits everything.
How did you feel about the Go-sees in the boat? Was it difficult to get around?
Oh, goodness. When they told us the go-sees were going to be in a boat, all of us had this dreadful look. We knew how expansive the city was, and how slow the boats can be. The boats were really frustrating, because they only went so fast, and you really had to schedule your time carefully. I played it safe and only made it to three designers, but I ended up winning the challenge because of that, because I didn’t go over time. On the other hand, it was a really great way to get out there and see the city, so that was really great.
What did you think of Paulina’s comment that your Covergirl photo looked like a headshot?
Lots of judges said my face was too commercial and not strong enough. It was hard to hear, because what can I do about it? This is my face, it was what I was given. I happen to like my face! It wasn’t a very helpful critique, because it wasn’t like “This isn’t a great angle for you” but rather “we don’t like your face”, but I took it as best I could. And, hey, maybe I will use it as a headshot, because I definitely will be pursuing acting. [laughs]
Marjorie said during her interview last week that you overreacted during the party. Did you think you were doing the right thing?
The boys were EXTREMELY drunk, falling down stairs and setting things on fire. Marjorie was in the bathtub with her clothes on with a boy with not-the-best intentions. I don’t think I overreacted. I think overreacting would have been screaming for everyone to get out at the top of my lungs and I didn’t do that. I have dealt with people who have constantly been drunk throughout my life, so I knew how to handle the situation. I just didn’t want Marjorie to do something on national television that she would regret.

I don't get how people can complain that the winner wasn't a "surprise" enough? I mean, wouldn't a surprise be that someone won who you that was bad an had no chance to win? So in that case, wouldn't you take someone without a surprise, because that presumes she was good all along? And then if you only want surprises out of ANTM, why b*tch and moan about lack of credibility and its inability to pick good models. Sometimes you can't have both a good reality tv and a good modeling competition.

I am thrilled that Mckey won! 
At first, I thought that they would pick Sam because she is more like the typical ANTM winner, with a personality and commercial look. McKey is more high fashion than the previous winners but I am very happy that she won!
I was so disappointed that Sam made it to the final two instead of Analiegh. Sam is so annoying, her face is boring, and she doesn't present herself as a model at all.
Best of luck to McKey!!

I assume that she means after she is done modeling.
New photos for Samantha have been posted in her thread
Here is a new photo for Marvita. She was on a some runway somewhere. I assume it's in NYC. I have no idea what designer this is for.

I'm pleasantly surprised that one of the most lackluster seasons brought us one of the winners who I'm most excited about seeing in the future. While I initially saw something in McKey, I assumed it was just a fluke and stopped caring. But she seriously started killing the competition once they got overseas.
As long as she isn't too resistant to the changes Elite will inevitably ask of her, I think she can make it really big (comparatively, that is). While there are inevitably obligations/duties that I assume the winner must fulfill, I really hope that they are dedicated to making something of her career beyond reality tv star despite the stigma.
I'll just enjoy it all before the show goes back to crowning mallrats.
