America's Next Top Model Is...

Photo Shoots & Commercial: CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara & Seventeen Magazine Cover 

Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 13

Nicole Fox and Tyra Banks

The final two girls meet Cycle 12 winner Teyona before filming their CoverGirl LashBlast commercials and shooting their ads. Nicole was lauded for a good photo shoot, but was lambasted for a "snotty" performance in her commercial; Laura was praised for overcoming dyslexia in her commercial, but was criticized for lack of commitment in her photo shoot. The next day, Ann Shoket watched them as they shoot their potential Seventeen Magazine covers.

Next, Tyra visited the girls for one-on-one conversations. It was revealed that they would be walking in a Julia Clancey fashion show together with eliminated girls Brittany, Erin, Jennifer and Sundai.

Final Runway

The Big Reveal

At the final judging, both girls impressed the judges by their final performances, though Nicole's walk is criticized as "different" while Laura's somewhat poor commercial delivery got the thumbs down. Portfolios aside, the judges are torn between Nicole's high fashion ability and knowledge of her angles and Laura's commercial appeal and conventional beauty.

The girls are called back, and Nicole is proclaimed the thirteenth winner of America's Next Top Model.

Teyona Anderson and Tyra Banks

Final Runway

The Big Reveal

The final two shot their Seventeen magazine cover tries where they both excelled and impressed Ann Shoket. Later, for their final performance, Allison and Teyona arrived at Ibirapuera Auditoriumfor competed in a Rosa Chá swimsuit fashion show where they had to strut a sultry walk, dance in samba movement and crawl provocatively at the end of the show. Cycle 11 winner McKey Sullivan joined the girls for the show.

At panel, Allison was commended for her significant improvements throughout the competition as well as for her strong walk, which also improved immensely from being the worst of the bunch. Teyona's walk was criticized for looking somewhat robotic, though she was still praised for her stellar photos. The judges felt that both finalists had their own strengths; Teyona was lauded for her versatile portfolio that translated into booking ability, creativity during photo shoots, and genuine personality while Allison's high fashion and editorial look could book her international fashion shows.

Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 12

Note: I will jump the bandwagon and say that Allison should have won. I would have really wanted her to win. Don't get me wrong I also love Teyona as I find her photos fitting the category of 'high fashion' but I do believe that Allison had better photos than her. See how Allison took everything when Tyra didn't announce her as the winner? I know right. She has a really cool and undefeated approach towards the whole thing. Good for you Allison! Good for you.

Finale Part 2: And The Winner Is...

Winner of America's Next Top Model Cycle 10

Tyra Banks & Whitney Thompson

Final Runway

The Big Reveal

After Whitney and Anya posed for their Seventeen magazine cover shots, they finally competed in an Italian fashion runway show. They competed against each other in Versace gowns, with their outfits handpicked by the designer herself, Donatella Versace. During the final deliberation, Whitney was told she did a very good job, but she forgot to pose long enough at the end of the runway. Anya was told she didn't walk as strong as Whitney, but she still looked stunning, and improved a lot since the beginning of the competition. The judges then examined both Whitney and Anya's body of work. The judges felt that Anya's photos were edgy, high fashion, and made the clothes appear worth buying while Whitney's were warm, approachable, and attractive to men.

The girls were called back in, and Tyra announced Whitney the first plus-sized winner and the tenth winner of America's Next Top Model.

Note: This is by far, the most depressing, the most absurd, the most rigged, the most unfair, the most unappetizing, and the worse cycle of ANTM history. Not only was the show highly rigged but the judges lack of judgement really puts me off. During this cycle, the ratings flopped dramatically. I don't blame them, this was obviously staged. America's Next Top Model is the most rigged show on earth. There! I said it. Look at Whitney's reaction when Tyra called her name, doesn't she look "warm, approachable, and attractive to men"? WTF ANTM! You just won yourself America's Next Porn Star! Kudos! If iI were Whitney, I'd be offended and I'd slap the title in Tyra's face.
