America's Next Top Model crowns deserving winner in high fashion cycle 15

I really enjoyed the 15th cycle of America's Next Top Model, which went high fashion for the first time.
Ann was a favourite from early on because of her ability to take amazing photos and her humble attitude, but I didn't like Chelsey all that much until the finale. She is a beautiful model, but I found her to be a little off-putting. In the finale I came to appreciate her drive to succeed.
After losing to Ann, Chelsey commented on how she didn't think the winner had what it takes to be America's Next Top Model. But what she's missing is that Ann was high fashion and that's exactly what the judges were looking for. Not that Chelsey wasn't wasn't a great model — she probably could have won any other season.
Both Ann and Chelsey deserved to be in the top 2 and I really hope we see more of them in fashion ads or runway shows on TV. This season seemed a little less exciting than others but the concept was a welcome change.
There is a bit of controversy surrounding Ann's weight. This is a tough one because as an adult, I realize very few people in the world look the way some of these models look. It's not the norm. But I can see how young girls may not understand this and hurt themselves to try and look like someone they are not.
I have looked for information on when we might see the next Canadian version of the show, but sadly the only news I could find said there was no news for a possible Season 4.
