Picking the winner of She's Got The Look was simultaneously the easiest and the hardest job for us judges. All of these women competed to win. All of them are beautiful. And in many ways, every contestant has "The Look."
But in the end — as in every competition — there can only be one winner. And for the judges, it was Cindy who took our advice, strategized without making enemies and came a long way during the contest. In the end, it wasn't a big surprise, because in the game of life Cindy plays to win, as she did in She's Got The Look. It's hard to believe that just over nine years ago, Cindy was homeless and living in a car with her young child. It was her commitment to not let life keep her down, but to use those experiences to motivate her to get ahead and win whatever she put her mind to.
Perhaps that's the greatest lesson you can take away from She's Got The Look. All 10 finalists could have been the winner. As I learned from many of my friends along the way, it's easy to feel a connection with anyone who's striving for greatness: People on the street stop to tell me how much they love Dolores. My friends call to tell me that they're mad that Sandy was voted off. Everybody wonders why Jamie didn't make it to the Top 3. They love their stories.
In the end, all of the women in this competition are inspiring and unique, and together they defy the stereotype of beauty for women over the age of 35. I know there are millions more of you out there — and I hope we get to meet you at the auditions next season!

Hello everyone,
I was at the casting call on December 12, 2009 held In New York, New York. I am 63 years old and I looked good enough to have been given a chance to at least meet the judges; Robert, Sean, Beverly and Kim. I have a short natural hair due and I have a beautiful smile. I also know how to grace the runway. Did you get the chance to look at everyone before making a decision for a call back? I really thought I did well. Thank you for the opportunity to audition for SGTL. All of the ladies were beautiful and youthfull. I had a lot of fun. If you did get the chance to have a look at my pictures or see me at the audition, where did I go wrong?
Pleas reply.
Sincerely,
Chestine Barnes
63 years of age
PLEASE!! When and where is the next audition?? Will there be a season three??
Can you let us all know in T.V. Land?
Thanks!
All I want to know when and where is the next audition???? I want to be there to show my beauty. Please announce soon. Thanks
When are the next audition for season 3.
I want to know what is with your sunglasses on the top of your head all the time. It is too bright in the studio for your bald head???? I dont get the style sorry it looks silly to me. Do you have to go outside often between commercials haha or what.
I was pleased with the final three. LeeAnne was truly gorgeous and reminded me of model Maud Adams (of yesteryear). I liked her spirit and tenaciousness. Theresa was lovely and kind hearted. Cindy was humble, but did the best on the runway. Any one of them would have been a fine choice.
I was surprised Cindy won she was too cold and stone looking and her last two pictures weren't that great and you had a lot to say about her claw hand and foot. I think Leanne had the look all along. First time on runway being nervous who wouldn't be. You could have worked with her on that she has a great personality not to mention her beautiful face and body.
Cindy deserved to win. I also loved, loved Dolores. She was the most gracious and most beautiful lady for her age and should have gone further..
I think the judges make the right decision. Although Theresa is beautiful, Cindy is just so elegant and classy. She looked absolutely beautiful on the runway and I think she deserved it. She comes off as a very caring, sweet woman who went after what she wanted and got it. She is quite an inspiration to a lot of woman out there. I hope she enjoys her new career and I hope to see her in some magazines soon. Thanks to the show, I have switch from my previous skincare products to ROC products. I just hope they work like they say. Oh and by the way, no offense to Kim Alexis, but what was with the moo-moo on the beach. Come on Kim, you couldn't have worn something more flattery to you. And Beverly, really you need a new look. That hairstyle went out with the 80's. I'm only being honest. All in all I enjoyed the finale. I came away with a lot of beauty tips and I loved Theresa's hair cut. It look great on her. Looking forward to another season. Hope everyone has a good summer.
I love you Robert!!! You were always so kind and honest with the models and you made the show fun to watch.
I agree with you totally. Each woman was unique in her own way, but I believe you picked the best contestant, Cindy. I really wanted her to win, but I was not sure if Theresa would take it. Theresa seemed to be the strongest contestant. I would not have been very disappointed if she had won, but I am very happy that Cindy came out the winner.
Can't wait for next season!
i was very glad cindy won…i was rooting for her after dolores got kicked off
all of them were beautiful inside and out
even shelly.
i thought the judges were very fair and a lot more professional than the judges on other shows.
congratulations to everyone
I felt bad for Leann – the way she was not allowed to stay out on stage as the winner was announced. She looked like a scolded puppy dog that just got sent to her kennel while the other dogs got to stay and play. Leeann worked her tail off in this competition and deserves more respect than a harsh dismissal.
you guys are the worst judges out there. you never had anything positive for these ladies to hold on too… I mean never. And for you to keep Shelly so long, I mean really. She is horrible her personality is a hater, mean. I feel sorry for her kids.
