19th - Cycle 17 (2011)

The first and so far only all stars series of ANTM. They brought back some of the series most memorable girls to try and compete again. On paper it all sounded amazing, unfortunately it was a disaster from the start

They had the all stars do a runway in the middle a huge crowd and a very early looking Nicki Minaj was a guest judge on panel. The whole thing was just very cringey and went about in the completely wrong way.

They then had the girls do a photoshoot where they had to recreate something memorable about themselves.. which again was a huge mess and done completely wrong.



We saw some of the shows most iconic and favourited girls be eliminated early on, such as Brittany, Sheena, Bre, Bianca.. even Camille was booted off 3rd?!



The second half of the cycle didnt get much better.. in fact it got worse.. the finalists all went to Greece and they actually started doing proper photoshoots (too little too late?). The final 3 girls were Lisa, Angelea and Allison, who each had to film some sort of video photoshoot thing that Tyra seemed to love doing around this time.

So then we get teleported into the future where the panel have all re-filmed the final judging with just Allison and Lisa.. Angelea (who was later revealed to be the real winner) is disqualified because she'd worked as an escort.. which really wasn't that big of a deal for them to re-film the entire final panel

Lisa wins and its all very rushed and we're all confused, and still are confused all these years later..

at least this cycle gave us this iconic line..


Cycle ranking: 5/10
