** WARREN WINS A WILD ONE! **

People across New England dreamed for months of a big showdown in Indianapolis -- and they got it. Well, they got it in two ways. The football Patriots made it to Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium. And Hair Fans who support a Boston TV reporter found a tough opponent waiting in our Challenge of Champions XI -- as an Indianapolis journalist fought back in the final hours to win the 2011 Super-Hair Wars title. After two weeks of action, Victoria Warren emerges again as the winner of her fourth challenge in a row.

Two strong fan bases made for a total vote count five times greater than Challenge X. Warren barely won then by two votes, and she trailed badly early this year. But Warren wound up with a greater winning margin, at 62 percent. Perhaps one difference came from Anchondo being busy covering Super Bowl activities in her city; her appeals for votes on Twitter virtually disappeared. Another factor may have been our switch to a different polling site, which thrilled one voter: "Guess something good came out of Jenny's cheating friends!"

As Anchondo jumped into the early lead, the comments were more emotional than style-centered. One urged: "Spread the word, Hoosiers!" Another wrote later Warren went "from getting spanked to giving a spanking." And one man called the fight between fan bases "the lesser of two evils." The only hair comments focused on Warren's decision to grow out her Crown Award-winning style to shoulder-length. "Not exactly Victoria's best picture," one said. Another disagreed: "Victoria's hair is MUCH better than.... last year, but Jenny's hair is better."

** T. ANNA-HILATES G.! **

Plenty of people scoff at Dancing With the Stars for having contestants who don't really qualify as "stars." But at least in the U.S., the series has made the dancing partners famous -- the ones who train the contestants for routines. We first noticed Cheryl Burke. Country music fans know all about Julianne Hough. And now Russian native Anna Trebunskaya has made the big time here, as the first Super-Hair Wars champion of 2012!

It was a "battle of the Annas," as Trebunskaya squared off against journalist Anna Gilligan. But she dominated from start to finish, and wound up with 73 percent of the vote. While one voter admitted, "I don't like either hairstyle," another took a shot at the loser's last name sounding like a classic TV comedy: "Sorry, little buddy, but red heads rock!"

OUR NEXT CHALLENGER is a long-time TV personality and author, who currently hosts Laura McKenzie's Traveler and used to co-host American Adventurer. She was suggested by a Hair Fan who e-mailed us - which is something you're welcome to do as well. Contact SuperHair @ Gmail.com .
