Of course, our number one viewing choice this evening is the season finale of "America's Next Top Model" at 8 p.m. on the CW. Will Melrose, the local girl-we-love-to-hate, become America's Next Forgotten Model? We're loathe to play into the whole youth-is-king attitude of the modeling industry, but we have to agree with the judges' assessment that Melrose does photograph a lot older than she is (although at age 23, she's older than most models who tend to break into the biz). We also have a hunch that Melrose is just using the show to boost her recognizability so she can launch her own fashion design business; she probably doesn't want it as much as the other girls.
That said, we wouldn't be that disappointed if she did win, because CariDee and Eugena just don't float our boats that much.
In Holiday TV fare, Miracle on 34th Street is on AMC at 8 p.m. (in an icky colorized version) and at 10 p.m. (in glorious black-and-white). And the original, animated "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" is on the Cartoon Network at 7:30 p.m. (Or, you can just click the YouTube video above and watch it right now!)



None of the three finalists are exciting--Melrose is obnoxious, CariDee is manic, and Eugenia too apathetic. Too bad there's no write-in vote...I'd vote for Olive from Little Miss Sunshine.
