Even After Loss, Top Model's Sara Smiles
By Ben Katner
Among the characters — and they are characters — that America's Next Top Model has introduced to us this season are all of our old, familiar favorites: the bumpkin (Kathy), the dimwit (Gina), the sexpot (Kari), the girl next door (Mollie Sue) and the psycho (no comment). But the one we'd most likely invite to our backyard barbecue would have to be last week's eliminee — call her "the sweetheart" — Sara Albert. After being asked to audition while shopping at a local mall, the 6'1" Californian proved herself to be a reality-TV anomaly: She came off real. Not only that, she seemed nice without being boring, smart without being condescending, pretty without... OK, you get the idea, the 22-year-old makes a great impression. So before tonight's finale (8 pm/ET on UPN), read her thoughts on copycats, elephants and the wildest animal of all — Jade!

Idol's Chris Has Left the Building
By Matt Webb Mitovich
So much for Elvis' plea that people don't be cruel. That look you saw on Chris Daughtry's face at the end of last week's American Idol results show vividly sums up the front-runner's take on his surprising fate. "[My jaw] was pretty much on the floor," he told TVGuide.com the day after his ouster] He later used such words as "bummed," "disappointed," "shocked" and "speechless" to describe his reaction to the "gut-wrenching moment" he anticipated "not even a little bit."
Few predicted the outcome, including his bottom-two companion as well as Idol's judging triad. "[Katharine] and I didn't get a chance to talk after, so I don't really know what was going through her mind, to be honest with you," Chris shares. "I had the inclination that she was expecting herself to go — that was the picture I got." And the one that viewers more or less witnessed for themselves on screen.
