Our friend texted within the first episode of ANTM 2.0 saying she couldn’t stand the girl who was married and divorced at 18. Leila was definitely better than runner-up Kiara. Clearly she was a fan-favorite and she should have won. Leila was eliminated, because Tyra rarely makes good decisions, and brought back by the fans who loved her. Laura is a fantastic model - let’s just get that out of the way up front. She was like a Spice Girl and a model all in one. We’re happy Sophie won because she was a cutie, but we loved Annaliese way more throughout the competition. At one point or another, we rooted for all of them to win. This is one of those cycles that had three great girls at the end.
Should Have Won: … Annaliese Dayes? … Laura LaFrate? Maybe Sophie? TWICE? REALLY? Allison, who broke our hearts when she was runner-up in cycle 12, admits that it sucks to be runner-up twice. Hannah also reminded us a lot of Analeigh from cycle 12, so we had a soft spot for her. She was a fine model, but on a personal level, we just stopped liking her after that meltdown in panel. Were we the only ones who didn’t hate Alexandria? We would have been happy if she won, but instead we were left with Brittani. She somehow looked like a classic beauty, yet edgy and modern. Chelsey and Jane were both good models, but there was something about Kayla that we were consistently drawn to. Overall, we didn’t really like this cycle.įirst of all, Ann’s runway walk was not good. Raina has been working more than anyone else from this cycle - we’ve been seeing her pop up on commercials, and a working model is a successful one. Tyra didn’t have the chance to mess this cycle up. We loved Nicole and we loved runner-up Laura Kirkpatrick. Our favorite contestant in the history of ANTM. Honorable mention to Analeigh Tipton though for doing her thing and having a great career.Īllison. She was tall, stunning, poised, and had a lovely personality. Her photo shoot with Nigel? Her Sprite campaign? And don’t even get us started on the injustice of eliminating Tiffani Thiessen-lookalike Katarzyna. Everybody knows that Anya ran that cycle as if she were already a professional. She just happened to get farther than any other plus-sized model, so they let her win. Whitney was unlikable and even the judges thought so for most of the season. Jenah shined as the only normal, likable girl in the cycle. Chantal similarly had sanitized feel to her. She kind of looked like Rihanna if Rihanna were on Disney. Deep down though, we still feel wronged by Renee’s elimination. When she came in third place, we obviously started supporting Jaslene just to prevent the bizarre Natasha from winning. We were rooting for Renee from the very beginning. We would have been happy if one of the twins won too though (just saying…). Sure, she wasn’t the most likable, but she was undeniably a good model. We felt really bad when Melrose lost because she was consistently good. Clearly she left the stronger impression (although we’ll never forget Dani’s photo on top of the elephant, while she was sick). For some reason, we always remember this as the cycle that Joanie won though. This was one of the rare instances where we would have been happy regardless of who won. This makes us uncomfortable to say, because we really like both girls here. We rooted for Nik after Bre was eliminated, but Tyra didn’t seem to care and picked the annoying and whiny Nicole. Should Have Won: Bre Scullark (or Nik Pace) And, if we’re being frank, a far superior model. Kahlen was shy, but adorable and relatable. Looking back on this cycle now though, it’s hard not to feel like Yaya is sort of like ANTM’s Jennifer Hudson - she lost, but has the best career possibly out of any of the girls. She left too soon, and we began to root for Eva. Should Have Won: Toccara Jones, Yaya DaCostaĮva was okay, but we loved Toccara. Her final photo and her Billie Holiday photo are some of our favorite in ANTM history. Mercedes was perfect! She was such a great model, she had the cutest personality, and she was owning the competition while suffering with Lupus. That sort of contribution to our adolescence is invaluable. She went on to become a “star” on Vh1’s CelebReality, and we continued to grow up watching the ups and downs of her relationship with a Brady.
#Americas next top model cycle 11 tv
Adrianne had that special blend of being cool, a good model, and reality TV perfection (which is essential for a first season). If only Tyra’s first season were a sign of things to come. As anyone who has watched the show throughout the years (and the marathons every time they’re on TV) knows, the model you spend all season rooting for rarely wins, no matter how much she deserves to. As America’s Next Top Model’s 21st cycle unfolds, we’ve decided to take a look at previous seasons to see how often Tyra and her ever-changing panel of judges choose the right model.
