McKey Sullivan took the top model crown last night in what was possibly the least suspenseful finale in America's Next Top Model history.
The 19-year-old brunette from tony Chicago suburb Lake Forest, Ill., squared off against Samantha Potter a frothy pink catwalk that resembled Candyland. Second runner-up Analeigh Tipton was eliminated earlier in the finale episode.
McKey, a former tomboy, had emerged as a frontrunner in recent weeks, with the judges consistently praising her photos. Said Top Model creator and head judge Tyra Banks: "You didn't just serve dress, you served face."
McKey joins a long line of Top Model winners who appeared in a few Cover Girl commercials on The CW before fading into obscurity. See you on the Tyra Banks Show, McKey!
