Top Model is back, and this cycle marks the beginning of an all new America's Next Top Model.

Cycle 17 marks the All Star Cycle, with fan favourites coming back to the competition to not just win Top Model but to further themselves as a brand. The prize pack this cycle includes the your typical IMG, Vogue Italia, Covergirl as well as being the face for Express Fashion and a correspondent for Extra.

The models met their competition at their model house in LA, I must say this cycle has every quirky, crazy, diva girl that ever was on Top Model... well besides Jade from Cycle 6 who declined to come back. Girls like Bianca, Angelea, Dominique, Kayla and Allison are all back this cycle

For their first photoshoot the models had to embody their 'trademark persona', an easy task you'd think for the most memorable models. Shannon from Cycle 1 made a big fuss because she refused to wear a pair of lace shorts saying they looked like underwear... so instead she opted for a white bikini bottom to finish her 'angelic' look. The logic? I don't know. Ah well.

At panel, Nicki Minaj was a guest judge at the Nokia Plaza for the first ever ANTM Live judging. Shock to the system Mr Nigel Barker had hair on his head... not liking it whatsoever. Photowise... in general I thought they all looked really mediocre, the set up and the photoshop to make it look like the models were on water... just weird. My favourite shot was Shannon's (regardless of her stupid rant), but it was Isis with her post gender reassignment surgery confidence which got her the First Call Out for the cycle.

Alexandria and Brittany ended up in the bottom two. Both with uber model 101 photos, but it was Brittany (who has had some work done unfortunately) who was sent home. Lets hope this cycle picks up soon...

ANTM Cycle 16 - Season Finale

Tonight was the Season Finale of America's Next Top Model Cycle 16.

This was the most competitive cycle ever! With all the models landing challenge wins and first call outs, this definitely wasn't an easy call like Cycle 15 with Ann Ward. The episode began with the models shooting their CoverGirl Print Ad and Commercial. The models shot ads for CoverGirl's Lipperfection Lipcolour. Molly struggled with her commercial trying to juggle herself and a poppy CoverGirl attitude. Brittani started out shaky but then once she got comfortable she was amazing. Both rocked the print ads.

The next day the girls went to their photo shoot for the cover and spread in Beauty in Vogue. The shoot was very simple, focusing on beauty than styling. Brittani rocked the shoot, while Molly lacked energy and wasn't in a great mood towards the shoot. Returning home Molly's Parents were there while Brittani's Mum was on video chat as she just had back surgery.

For the final runway show, the girls walked in a Vivienne Westwood Anglopmania Salon Show. The show was at the Granada Palace, it looked so amazing and elaborate! Eliminated models Kasia, Hannah and Alexandria joined the finalists as well as Cycle 15 Winner Ann Ward. Ward seems to have a great and louder personality and she looks tres amazing! 

I love love loved the styling coloured eyes and big teased hair. If you're gonna do a runway this is how you do it. I love love loved Tyra's dress as well (of course Vivienne Westwood). Ann looked tres amazing! Like a uber tall (uber thin) barbie doll! Brittani rocked the runway, Molly kind of had a tough face... On their second look the final lap Molly and Brittani worked together but due to the rose petals on the ground, Brittani slips and falls. 

At panel the girls debuted new looks, great short cuts very modern tres amaze.

Brittani Kline is AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!

I was actually shocked, just because Molly as recent has had great photos. But I'm very happy she won (I would of been fine either way). Britanni's Print Ad and runway was just that more better than Molly's in my opinion. I'm so happy for her, and I see Molly having a bright future too!

ANTM Cycle 16 - Rachel Zoe

This week's Top Model saw the girls having a CoverGirl Commercial challenge and a baby Jaguar Photoshoot. Alexandria is just getting on my nerves more and more, though I love how Monique acts with her. For the photoshoot the girls were at the old Los Angeles Zoo shooting with a Baby Jaguar for Rachel Zoe's new Faux Fur line. At panel my girl Hannah got the best shot (above) while Molly and Dalya were in the bottom two. It was Dalya who was sent home.
