I hated the first cycle and I pretend it never existed just like Tyra does. But if I have to choose a favorite it'll be Adrienne since she hails from Illinois. Everyone else in that group was phony ang got on my last nerves with their non-stop bitchiness.
Cycle 2: I was all for Mercedes.
Cycle 3 should have went to either Yaya or Toccara. Even though Eva's Covergirl ad is the best one out of the enitre history of ANTM and hasn't been topped since. A few girls came close to it's perfection, but none are able to capture the delightful radiance Eva was shining into that picture. A smile comes across my face everytime I see it. Still, Yaya should have one IMO. She kicked Eva's ass in the final runway challenge.
Brittany should have been the winner of Cycle 4, instead of Naima. I dunno how the hell she went home when Kahlen and Keenyah's pictures that week were puke-inducing. Just goes to show the free-spirited whores have just as a much of a chance at winning Top Model than the evil bitches do.
Cycle 5 belonged to Nik and I can't stand to hear otherwise. Highway robbery is what that was, I can't believe vapid Nicole actually pulled off a win over Nik.
Cycle 6 was one of those rare cycles that almost every girl on there was perfect and had a real shot at credible modeling. Any one of those girls could have won and I would have been over the moon ecstatic. They were all my faves.
But if I had to choose only one, I have to go with Jade for making the biggest impression on me and always being accountable for a good laugh every now and then. Her exit interview was comedy gold. There hasn't been a girl since who's entertained and thrilled me as much as that drag queen did. She's the coolest.
Cycle 7 was again one of the more rotten cycles of ANTM. I guess I liked Anchal, Smell-Gross and the twins. I didn't really have anyone on there who I'd call a favorite. I was all in favor of Tyra just recasting the whole damn thing and starting over with a new batch of girls.
Jaslene owned Cycle 8. The rest of the girls were just useless filler b/c it was obvious on the first episode that she was taking that cycle. Although I'm not mad at that, I like Jaslene a lot despite the fact she reminds me of John Leguizamo dressed up as Miss Chi-Chi from "To Wong Foo". Jael, Whitelle, Brittany and Felicia were pretty dope too and the last two should have lasted longer in the competiton than they actually did. I still to this day do not understand Tyrant's logic for cutting Felicia over mean-faced Dionne.
Lisa, Heather and Jenah should have been the final three girls in Cycle 9 IMO. Suckleisha only won b/c her and Tyra are homegirls from way back b/c the girls that cycle didn't miss a step. But that's when we learned that personality and a good story edit, not actual talent at modeling will get you a spot as one of the winners of this mockery of a show.
Cycle 10 was yet another rare stellar cycle. I kind of glad now that girls with High Fashion marketability like Anya, Fatima and Katarzyna did not win and were sent home so they don't have the blotch of the Top Model winner's curse forever on their resumes. They can free themselves from Tyra's shadow, go out and be seen as a credible model and not some TV whore who got lucky. I feel these girls are done a real disservice when they're picked as winners.
Cycle 11 I liked everyone but the black chicks. They were painfully bad, I dunno where Tyra picked them from b/c they couldn't model or photograph nicely to save their lives. Lauren Brie was my favorite favorite of that cycle. Then McKey, Analeigh, Marjorie, Elina, and Lil' Kimora Shee.
And this cycle I really only like FOE now. TEYONA's okay but I wish the judges would lay off with the non-stop praise so we can have some element of surprise when she finally wins, but that's unlikely. And CELIA and ALLISON like I said would be much better off losing this show than winning. They're the only two I see at having a modeling career that's not a sham.
Cycle 1: While she was a bit of a know it all, Elyse took fierce pictures. Her and Adrianne were my favirotes, Shannon never really was all that good I though
Cycle 2: Yoannas helmet shot is my favirote shot ever in history, But that girl in my opnion is one of th biggest bitches ever in history of the show. Mercedes was commerial, high fashion and loveable and should have won.
Cycle 3: I loved Ann but the girl couldn't take a good photo. I loved Evas personality but she was way to short, I think Ya Ya took the most consent pictures and with a little attitude adjusment would have been a ok.
Cycle 4: I loved Lluvy and think that she's one of the most underated ever, But she only made it to the 5th elimination, Brittany was probally the strongest at the end. Niama was to hit and miss & Kahlen didn't have the nevers or confidence to do good enough & Keenyah should have been sent home way before they went to south africa.
Cycle 5: Nik.. The girl had everything. Nicole took one great picture and the rest of the time she was mediocre, plus her attitude was childish and sour. This was the first real mind boggling win.
Cycle 6: The Top 3 were all worthy. But I think they got it right with Danielle, The girl was probally the most likeable contestant ever, and she took constanly great photos, plus I come from the south so i can emphatize with the accent.
Cycle 7: What A Mess. Smell Rose was a bitch, but she was a bitch that could model. Cari Dee was my favirote when they were in LA, but as soon as they went overseas she lost it until the final covegirl shoot, then you had eugena who sucked in LA but kicked ass abroad. But taking everything in Cari Dee probally did the best all toghter.
Cycle 8: Natasha was a nice girl but no where near top 2 worthy, Hell I'm not even sure if she should have made it overseas over Felicia, Britt was my pick to win but then she had that huge meltdown and royally fucked her guarnteed spot in the top 3, Jaslene was so dragalicious in person, but she really transformed in pictures.
Cycle 9: Salesisha can walk the hell out of a runway. But no way in hell she ever should have made it to the run way. Chantal wasn't much better. Me personally Lisa, Heather and Jenah should have made the top 3. With Ebony, Sarah and Chantal rounding out the top 6.
Cycle 10: I pegged whitney as my favirote from day one, But the second they gave her that blonde weave I switched to Anya. But they both took pretty good photos. However Whitney should have made top 3 at most. Her and fatima were pretty neck to neck in performaces, Fatima had a beautiful covegirl shot while whitney had the best commerical which left anya the 2nd best of both. Not the worst winner as people say but an ok one.
Cycle 11: I pegged Hanna at the start boy did that flop quickly. Analeigh was my 2nd favirote and i was thriller to see her rock the competion. Her windmill photo is one of my top 5 favirotes. She defitnily should have took samantha spot in the final 2. Mckey took great pictures, but i never really got to know who she was. Seems kind of strange they give that edit to a winner.
