Jaslene wins America's Next Top Model

Second time was a charm for skinny Latina model Jaslene, who won America's Next Top Model on the season finale of cycle 8 last night.

The 20-year-old, who hails from Chicago, Illinois, tried out for the show in cycle 7, but was quickly eliminated. Last night, Jaslene first beat out Renee, and then Natasha.

In the final round, Jaslene and Natasha underwent an evlolution themed catwalk challenge. The judges said Natasha started off strong, but lost it towards the end. Jaslene, on the other hand, started off weak, but ended off as if she had already won the challenge. One of the models in the show was cycle 7 winner Caridee.

As winner, Jaslene receives a modeling contract with Elite Model Management, a six page spread and cover shot on Seventeen Magazine and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.

The judges were worried Jaslene is not well suited for commercial modeling. Let's hope her Seventeen cover is better than her CoverGirl cover so she proves them wrong.
