23rd - Cycle 22 (2015)

Not much better than Cycle 21, was cycle 22. Much of the same romance showmance type stuff that made the last one so tedious carries though into this cycle. The cast this time around were slightly more interesting so thats why this one edged one space ahead.

However, this cycle probably has THE worst contestant of all time, being Mikey, who manipulated and played a dirty game the whole way through, only to be given some sort of sob story ending.. eventually finishing 4th. He completely emotionally manipulated Courtney until her elimination in episode 5. When she finally got the guts to stand up to him, he turned the whole house against her and basically left her an outsider (she even slept outside...)



Then there was Bello and Devin... idek where to start with these two.. A MESS!!! They just hated each other and were at each others throats constantly, messy but entertaining.




These 3 pretty much dominated the whole cycle. Meanwhile Mamé and Lacey were actually decent models and took some stunning photos. Although when Mamé decided to start getting involved with Mikey I just gave up with her..

The best part of the whole series was how Haddasah was constantly low but still managed to drag everyone else each week giving us Jade Cole vibes.



After Mikey and Lacey were sent home before the final runway, Mamé and Nyle (the deaf one) became the final 2, with Nyle winning. Was this deserved? ...meh I never saw the appeal with Nyle tbh.. his photos were just the same face every week (and Tyra ate it up each week). Technically Mamé should've won.

Cycle Ranking: 4/10
