Tyra and the producers decided to switch it up a bit for cycle 13, maybe the ratings have been dipping. Anyway, ANTM cycle 13 will be all shorter models who are 5’7″ and under. The show also has said that they wanted a diverse bunch in all shapes and sizes.

With that said, you gotta wonder how a short model will fit into the high fashion scene of today. There were a few shorter models that did make supermodel stardom, Kate Moss and Twiggy come to mind, but for the most part the majority have been extremely tall. The reasoning behind that is that many designers feel their clothes look better on taller, leaner women.

So far in the history of the Tyra Banks ANTM show, none of the ladies have made it to supermodel stardom. So maybe it is time for a change.

Cycle 13 had cast short models for the show, so I have yet to find out what this new season of ANTM will be casting for, guess we’ll wait and hear.

Lets take a look back through this last season of ANTM

Nikeysha, the anorexic girl, who looked incredibly skinny and made the other size 1 models look plump standing next to her.

Here is Sheena, who really reminds probably everyone of a slim Kimora, maybe it’s the pudgy round face. Anyway, she just kept getting knocked for being a hoochie mama. Her lying to the judges about her fake boobs didn’t help her situation. I mean, you rarely see see the Givenchy runway models flashing a pair of silicone Double D’s.

No matter how hard this girl tried, she alway’s seemed a bit out of place.

Isis, not really a girl, but close enough I guess. What the hell was Tyra Banks even thinking here? maybe… ratings? This one really confused me because I read the requirements for the show and they clearly states a female 17 to 27. Maybe the producers though if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. Isis is really a man and I watched the swim suit episode where Isis tried to cover her manhood while wearing a bikini. BTW, the huge feet and hands may not have helped her either. I can’t even imagine how the girls felt being beaten by a guy in the first few episodes where Isis was around.

Now, what if Isis did actually win got the Covergirl and squeeky clean Seventeen magazine contract? Would Elite models really sign her? Guess we’ll never know. Too bad.

Anyway, I guess it all makes for great reality TV in the end and congrats to McKey.

Anya Rozova, or Anya Kop ANTM last season is now signed with Elite, and we may see much more of her in the near future as the agency starts booking her. Anya, Now back to being a brunette says the blonde hair color that America’s Next Top Model gave her was a bit hard for her to keep up and I for one think she looks much better as a brunette than the ANTM look of “bleached blonde”. I loved her on the show and was hoping she would win it. I am glad Anya still came out a winner post ANTM.

here’s some commentary from a news report..

“Each season Elite plucks non-winners from the ANTM cast. Rozova’s former housemate and competitor, Katarzyna Dolinska, was signed “the second she lost.” “Last season was a great batch,” Covarrubias added. “Whitney’s kicking butt, Anya’s kicking butt, Katarzyna’s kicking butt. We’re doing really well with the three girls we ended up with.”

This video also contains a short interview with Ms. Jay Alexander, from ANTM America’s Next Top Model and famous runway coach giving his 2 cents.

This video is too funny and shows the ladies competing for the title of CNTM and Miss. Ghetto Fabulous
