^mess

 

[happytrail]

^agreed. hardly any talent or potential, but a whole lot of pointless drama.

 

[sidda]

Ew. I think Kayla looks the best and I loathed her presence during her season.

Camille
Age:33

I can't even.

 

[Zann]

Brittany looks EXACTLY like Janice. I can't even.

 

[Style Savvy]

I think this will bring on the ratings. I can't wait! LOL @ Angelea's photo. Such a gawdesk.

 

[Lax89]

Rooting for Bianca ! I think she's the only one with somewhat real potential.

I like Brittany, she will bring the fun in the house with Lisa but not the bad attitude like, let's say, Alexandria or Angelea. And speaking of her, what kind of promo picture is that ?! Does she think she was shooting some rap music video ?

I like Kayla as a brunette, better than the red. Camille looks old in that picture.

I'm excited for this cycle. Maybe some good things will happen for some of the models after all !

Info on prizes and guests for the next cycle:

The cast of America's Next Top Model: All-Stars may have leaked some time ago, only to be confirmed today, but two big pieces of information were revealed about what may be the craziest cycle in the show's history. The prize package for the show, which has undergone very slight alterations in recent years, has been changed once again. The winner of the show will still have a special spread in Vogue Italia and a contract with Covergirl Cosmetics, but new this year is an Express fashion campaign and a chance to become a correspondent on Extra lol. Last cycle, the other prizes were a contract with IMG Models and a cover of Beauty in Vogue.
The guest judges for this cycle include two rappers (Nicki Minaj, Game), a comedienne (Kathy Griffin), two singers (Ashlee Simpson, LaToya Jackson), a TV personality (Kristin Cavallari), the creator of CSI (Anthony Zuiker), and three "names" in the fashion industry (Nikos Papadopolous, Coco Rocha, Tyson Beckford). The core judging panel (Tyra, Andre, Nigel) will remain the same, as will the J's in their respective fields.
It's interesting to see that the prize package is a mix of high fashion (Vogue Italia) and more commercial endeavors (Extra, Express), since the show has made a push toward the former in the more recent few cycles. It's unclear what type of model the show will be going after this cycle, but considering that some of the contestants are shorter (Laura) or older (Camille) than the average high fashion model, I think the emphasis might be back on the commercial girls this time. Whatever the case may be, a lot of former Top Model contestants go on to do work more similar to the Extra/Express side of the fashion world than walk the catwalk in couture, so the show may just be managing expectations a little this cycle.
The 17th cycle of America's Next Top Model will premiere on Wednesday, September 14th at 9:00 on The CW.
What do you think about the slightly altered prize package and new guest judges? Who do you think is the early favorite to take home the title this cycle? If you've stopped watching Top Model at some point, does the idea of an all-star season make you want to jump back in?

I think the prizes are pretty decent and a good mix between commercial and high-fashion appeal; but I'm laughing at the "chance" to work on Extra. I thought that show was cancelled. lol

Not surprised to see IMG and Beauty-in-Vogue drop out however.

 

[Zann]

wow. I wonder if the "special spread" in Vogue Italia is like a single page spread lol. and a contract with Covergirl? Hmmm.

I'm just gonna go with my gut and think it will either be Laura or Allison. There is no way Franca would let any of the other crazies in her magazine.

I really hope it's not Kayla. She does nothing for me.

 

[Mea Culpa]

Allison or Laura ftw... but TRex looks surprisingly good w/ the dark hair....
Of course I can totally see Isis winning - you KNOW Tyra is dying to crown an trans winner...

 

[dpbenson]

So they couldn't even get BMG Models to sign on for this suckfest? Color me not surprised. I am shocked that Vogue Italia is still on the table.

At this point, I hope the winners are either Bianca or Allison since those are the only models in the group.

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

Allison is a clear winner. Hopefully she signs with a good agency this time. I can also see Bianca being one of the top 3!

I thought Nicole Lucas had some great potential too bad we havent seen her working as much

 

[Deleted member 1957]

the drama is going to be like real housewives ..imagine Bianca, Bre, Camille, Alexandria and Angelea in 1 house....seems this is all about the drama which is such a shame considering the prizes at stake

The ratings for this show started dipping after CariDee's win and then took a nose dive when Saleisha won. Everything since has been an attempt to keep the show propped up. It has not been working. This is a ratings cycle.

 

[happytrail]

i can see bianca winning, but my money's on sheena. she was a royal mess on her season, but i'm sure tyra's dying to crown an asian winner.

i don't think i'm going to watch this season mainly because of the contestants. shannon and dominique are in my top least favorite contestants. they seem like such awful people.

would have loved to have seen jenah, shandi, kahlen, nik, amanda & michelle, heather k., fatima, lauren u., majorie, and analeigh.

 

[Style Savvy]

Coco Rocha will be a guest judge

ANTM All-Stars will feature some big-names in the world of fashion and celebrity evaluating the models alongside judges Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker and Andre Leon Talley.

Lending their expertise as guest judges this cycle are rap sensation Nicki Minaj; comedienne Kathy Griffin; pop star and author LaToya Jackson; actress and singer Ashlee Simpson; model and actor Tyson Beckford; reality star Kristin Cavallari; rapper The Game; model Coco Rocha; Anthony Zuiker, the creator and executive producer of CSI; and fashion photographer Nikos Papadopoulos.

The winner of Cycle 17 of America's Next Top Model will get some familiar prizes, including a spread in Vogue Italia and a $100,00 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics. In addition, the winner will also get a fashion campaign with Express and a guest correspondent role on the entertainment show Extra.

America's Next Top Model All-Stars premieres Wednesday, September 14 at 9pm on The CW.

 

[Zann]

hmmm so ANTM has had what? 4 models EVER as guest judges?

Marisa Miller, Chanel Iman, Karolina Kurkova, and Coco Rocha?

I'm surprised Heidi Klum never guest judged. Her show got Gisele to guest judge a challenge at the 2005 VSFS! Tyra gets the creator of CSI. yay modeling! *rolls eyes*

 

[EvanJ2010]

Those photos literally look more fitting for Ru Paul's Drag Race. Just saying....

 

[Zann]

and apparently those are the first photo shoot photos. super creative! lolz

 

[Style Savvy]

Alek Wek was also a guest judge. If Vogue Italia is at's stake I think Allison should be the winner. She's the only one who looks like a model tbh
