There’s only one person that I liked on this season and that was London. After she left I was like, pfftttt, no need to watch anymore. And was Teyona to Allison … Allison was better.
April 22, 2011 at 6:19 am
I totally agree. London is sooooooooo pretty! And she’s great! 🙂 She shoul’ve at least be in top 2!

August 14, 2012 at 12:57 am
well tbh its not anyones fault that london gained weight.thats why she went home.allison was best in this cycle.
January 19, 2011 at 3:24 am
This was the worst season of ANTM so far.
February 7, 2011 at 2:05 am
I loved Allison. I thought she was unique and incredible. She totally should have won!!! Fo was good too, a little to cute to have won though. I wasnt sure if she could do edgy.
February 11, 2011 at 10:39 am
Agree with boo, Allison is sooooo much better than Teyona.
February 26, 2011 at 12:45 am
Aww, I love Allison so much! She’s amazing!
February 26, 2011 at 12:49 am
London and Allison are much better than Teyona.
April 28, 2011 at 6:49 pm
TRUE!!! PLUS, THEY’VE GOT THE GOOOOOOOOD ATTITUDES!!! well, i guess we’ve got same bet after all.. 🙂
April 17, 2011 at 10:26 pm
I’m up to episode 7 and NOTHING really interesting is happening?! What’s up with this cycle? The girls are all pretty much boring; pretty but boring. Especially after having watched cyle 8 with Natasha/Natalia/Natalie Gal. Wow, everyone seems so boring and empty of life!
April 19, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Teyona is the crappiest winner ever on antm. THE WORST. Allison so should of won! What was with Teyona’s walk?!
April 20, 2011 at 3:42 am
Well I finished watching the whole season/cycle and things just don’t get better…I didn’t even care who won or who lost I just wanted it all to END!!!
I’m thru watching the old seasons, this one just bored me to death…
I’ll still watch the end of cycle 16.
But man! No one beats Natasha/Natalie Gal, she was a breath of fresh air!
April 21, 2011 at 5:17 pm
yeah!!!!!!!!! allison should have WON! stupid judges. teyona was like….uh…what the heck??? i can’t get over it! I LOVE ALLISON! 😥
January 5, 2013 at 9:28 am
I know it’s a hundred years after your post butt you got it soooooo right. Allison is with out any dought the WINNER!!!!!!!!!
April 26, 2011 at 4:45 am
I am sick and tired of the way judges influence each others’ opinions. What’ s the use of watching the show, if the pet contestant is clearly favored from the 5th or 6th episode?! And it’s not the first season when the decisions are made long before the formal final “duel” . The whole project is getting more and more biased.
April 28, 2011 at 6:47 pm
ilovethiscycle!!!!! 🙂
aking ninanais na sa paglipas ng panahon, ako din ay makakasali at mananalo sa paligsahang ito… yun lamang po at salamat… aminat minat eh eh.. waka waka eh eh.. rofl… hahaha 😀
May 3, 2011 at 6:35 am
I liked Teyona-she was edgy. I also liked Allison, fantastic poses.
May 18, 2011 at 9:33 pm
The bikinishoot on episode 11 was terrible.. I don’t want to see all that ass on my tv screen!!! Guess Tyra has a pretty bad slutty side..
July 16, 2011 at 4:46 am
I think Tyra saw Teyana as herself. Pfffft, bad cycle!
July 19, 2011 at 10:23 am
hey, they went to Bahia, not SP. 😡
I’m from brazil and the pictures shows Bahia!
October 19, 2011 at 5:25 pm
i agree with boo and sondra. at least london must be in the final 2. because of that eating disorder she was sent home. PFFFFTTTT! i love allison and london.
April 3, 2012 at 12:17 am
I agree with you.I cannot love ALISON and LONDON more.
December 2, 2011 at 3:36 pm
ALLISON should be the winner in this cycle. she’s quirky and very much edgy than teyona.
December 5, 2011 at 4:30 am
Aminat was most definetly the most beautiful of this cycle and best body too
December 5, 2011 at 4:33 am
Aminat was definetly the most Beautiful/Stunning girl of this cycle and the best body too.
January 13, 2012 at 1:22 am
To see how creepy Allison used to be just Google “creepy chan”. That is her lol!
April 3, 2012 at 12:12 am
I come from CHINA.I love THE NEXT TOP MODEL.In CHINA we cannot look through some foreign website.so i just want to express my excited.My English is poor,but it cannot stop my love for you.
April 20, 2012 at 11:05 am
Teyona deserved to win she had a good walk and amazing pics! I think this cycle had the best girls in the final! London is gorgeous but you don’t have to be pretty to be a model a lot of successful models are as ugly as sin! Teyona has done so well after ANTM so it goes to show that she obviously had the potential! This was a fair final! Better than cycle 11 Mckay is a joke! & Naima winning her cycle was also a joke!
August 7, 2012 at 7:06 am
I think Allison should’ve won but I do see how she got runner-up in cycle17.. Lisa did pretty good..
August 22, 2012 at 5:13 pm
hey, does anyone know when allison decided to apply for ANTM?
October 20, 2012 at 5:56 pm
so many racists here my god!! Teyona-Consistency,edgyness and chamelione. yeah she’s not pretty as alli or lauren london but she’s fierce in photo shoots and challenges like styling celia and go sees:)
December 30, 2012 at 9:11 am
Allison is BY FAR the winner and the most amazing face ever… Bad choice Tyra. Teona who!
May 24, 2013 at 8:34 am
ALLISON IS MY WINNER !!!
December 16, 2013 at 5:50 am
I guess beauty trully lies in the eyes of the beholder. Teyona rocks n rules everyday, everytym. She is pretty, gorgeous n takes amazing pics. I bet all those hating wish they had half her beauty. I liked all the girls but teyona by far deserved her win. I can’t believe any confident person will find her ugly or unattractive. It beats my mind how there are so many negative comments abt her.
January 25, 2014 at 6:56 am
12 % of Blacks in USA.
31 % in ANTM12 finals.
And ugly Teyona wins.
Thanks Tyra.
March 30, 2014 at 10:43 pm
The whole cycle was boring. I loved Allison though.
April 27, 2014 at 10:43 am
My favorite is Allison ,,, obviously I had loved that she was the winner but Teyona is ok ,,, But Allison is just creepy and that is cool 😉
