Durham artist wins Bravo's 'Work of Art' competition

I'm so ashamed of myself. I was so busy last night watching the "Dexter" finale (before it got spoiled for me) and the "American Horror Story" finale (just to ensure I would have nightmares), that I didn't watch the season finale of Bravo's "Work of Art" reality competition show when it aired live at 9 p.m.

The shame is because Durham artist Kymia Nawabi was a finalist -- and she won!

The East Carolina grad did some great work this season and also showed herself to be a really nice person working alongside a group of bratty, immature mean girls. We're proud of Kymia for winning and for not being a witch to her fellow contestants. Like some people we could name.

Here's more about last night's episode and an interview Adrienne did with Kymia right as the season was starting. We hope to catch up with Kymia again soon!

What to Watch on Wednesday: 'American Horror Story' season finale

A Home for the Holidays with Martina McBride (8pm, CBS) - Martina McBride hosts this 13th annual event to raise awareness about adoption. Musical performances by McBride, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, and others.

The X-Factor (8pm, Fox) - The remaining acts perform in part one of the two-part season finale.

Work of Art (9pm, Bravo) - Season 2 ends with the final artists at work on a full solo exhibition, then presenting their collections at a grand gala opening. The episode ends with the naming of the winner. Kymia Nawabi of Durham is one of the finalists in the competition. (If the competition was for nicest artist, she'd win in a landslide.)

American Horror Story (10pm, FX) - In tonight's season finale, Constance, one of the few actual living humans left in this series, schemes to raise Tate's demon baby as her own. Jessica Lange (right) was nominated last week for both SAG and Golden Globe awards for her portrayal of Constance. Excited to see how long it takes dense Ben (Dylan McDermott) to figure out what kind of hell he's dealing with -- and if North Carolina's Lost Colony and the Croatoan mystery get another shout-out this week.

Top Chef: Texas (10pm, Bravo) - The chefs concoct quick-fire dishes based on fans' Twitter instructions. Then the chefs honor their culinary teachers by creating a tribute meal. Singer Patti LaBelle is the guest judge.

Hot in Cleveland (10pm, TV Land) - The ladies treat their neighbors to makeovers, while Elka adjusts to dating a younger man (John Mahoney).

The Exes (10pm, TV Land) - Haskell's online girlfriend pays a surprise visit, but she's also in for a shock because Haskell has been using Phil's picture as his own.
