In the end, I think it really hinged on the Cover Girl shoot because they publish that ad, right? None of the judges really liked Melrose's ad, and Caridee's was better. Aside from personalities, I thought that Melrose was the stronger model.
And, I have to admit, Caridee's constant talk about her psorasis in that last episode (or what they decided to edit and show) bugged me. I can relate to her condition because I have really dry skin on my legs to the point where there is permanent scaring despite constant moisturizing with prescribed lotion, but she's SO FREAKIN gorgeous that it really bugged me that it seemed like she was really trying for the sympathy vote.
