omg I <3 this show!! A short write-up would be cool. "Model" is right, LOL |

Here goes...
50. GINA Cycle 6, 9th Place -- Gina was from the Tampa area, which is where I'm originally from, so I had high hopes for her personally. Her photos all sucked ass, but her ongoing issues with her confidence & self esteem led for her to become an easy target of Jade on numerous occasions, and even Janice Dickinson. She also had a weird obsession with Danielle (or "Dani", I should say.)
49. CASSANDRA Cycle 5, 11th Place (Quit) -- You know, the robotic Texan beauty queen who was requested to get the first of many "Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby" makeovers, but didn't agree with chopping off all her pageant hair, so when Jay Manuel told her she needed another inch cut off, she just quit.
48. NORELLE Cycle 3, 5th Place -- The lanky, awkward, goofy girl from Orange County who started the cycle with braces. She was a main member of "Pink Positive" and always had fun, quirky remarks, "Is Pink Positive getting a divorce?"; "The only Japanese food I've had is... Panda Express?"; "I am NOT a good dier."
47. LISA Cycle 9, 6th Place -- I hate Cycle 9 so I don't want to elaborate much further, but Lisa was basically the stripper (or "dancer", whatever) with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, that doesn't really make for compelling storylines anymore, but she did speak her mind fully when necessary.
46. JAEDA Cycle 7, 6th Place -- Where to begin? Jaeda was the "pretty girl" at her high school in Iowa, which pissed Tyra off so much that she gave her a boy haircut (but called it Halle Berry... bullshit), because Jaeda's face could "handle it". Well Jaeda sure couldn't handle it and freaked out about it 24/7, but she occasionally had some funny moments and even was the victim of racism when they first arrived in Spain and her Spanish commercial partner stated he didn't like black girls. Jaeda was also great for rolling her eyes at the panel and not giving a shit about doing it!
45. SARA Cycle 6, 4th Place -- An example (kinda like Norelle) of someone who makes it far in their cycle and is memorable for certain things but nothing really extravagant. Sara was constantly harped on for not owning her height (she was 6'1") and she was found in a mall. Both of these points were discussed at length.
44. KELLE Cycle 3, 9th Place -- The self-proclaimed "white girl with a really good tan", Kelle was a New York City native who rubbed people the wrong way with things such as her Gucci pants, her protruding monkey mouth (she said it, not me!), and she even cried when she looked in the mirror. Her pictures all sucked ass, but Kelle was a very complex girl and probably the first girl that Tyra truly broke down and humiliated for no reason.
43. APRIL Cycle 2, 4th Place -- Coming into the competition as a racially unsure businesswoman, April's quest to be the winner would require her to finally identify with one race more than the other, which was her Japanese heritage. She also needed to drop the technicality and clinical method of modeling and actually learn how to feel the emotions portrayed instead of just projecting them. She never really accomplished either, but she tried very hard and was a very good competitor. In the first episode, she was the one who almost didn't get out onto the runway on time, had Jenascia help her, and then regretted not waking Jenascia up the next day, which is actually a legit moral dilemma considering this is ANTM.
42. KAHLEN Cycle 4, 2nd Place -- The runner-up from Cycle 4 is most notable for succeeding greatly through the most contrived situation ever on ANTM. After she found out her friend back in Oklahoma passed away, the next photoshoot conveniently required the "girls" (hey, it was Cycle 4 after all) to pose deep in the ground of a grave in a rainy cemetery. Kahlen overcame her personal trouble with it and delivered a great shot, leading to one of the great triumphs of ANTM history. However, nobody gave a shit anymore when her constant complaining and whining about how bad she was at every challenge and/or photoshoot, yet she always was one of the best. You know that girl in your high school science class who always said "Oh fuck, I totally failed that test", but always got A's? That was Kahlen.
41. JENASCIA Cycle 2, 9th Place -- Jenascia is a notable contestant for many reasons. She was the first girl on ANTM who didn't really want to model, but instead wanted to use it as an avenue to pursue comedy instead. Which makes sense, since Jenascia was funny on her time on the show and a viewer's favorite. However, she infamously overslept the very first photoshoot (after counting on April to wake her up since she had helped April at the first runway show), and was only 5'7", so she was inevitably cut before the halfway point. |

Aww, why is my fave robot April ranked so low? <3 Lisa shouldn't be this low either.

It'll be over pretty quick if you do ten at a time, jus sayin. :)
I think Cassandra would have gone very far had she not quit. She has the highest average callout order of any contestant, iirc. April <3 |

I call Jade, Camille, Yaya, and Elyse in the Top 10 if not top 4.Switch Yaya and Amanda and I would red X that. I can't actually remember much that Yaya did except the umeboshi and yelling "I'M ON THE PHONE!!!!!!" while Amanda was more consistently insane for the majority of the season. |

Here come the next 10... the lowest ranking 2 winners are in this batch!
40. BRANDY Cycle 4, 12th Place -- Brandy only lasted three episodes, but her impact was felt long after. She emerged with a red afro (it was a weave) and bitched about the first photoshoot, claiming that she was getting sleepy and impatient, which completely threw Nigel for a loop. After that, she bitched about her makeover (cutting most of her hair off), by saying, "How am I gonna go back to my boyfriend now? He ain't gonna want me no' mo'!" This was all just in the first episode. In the second episode, when Michelle came out, Brandy gave one of the best deadpan lines ever on ANTM, "I'ma need to have you know I've had some fantasies." Her final episode was filled with the best soliloquy ever, in which she completely went off on Tatiana for no reason.
39. FURONDA Cycle 6, 5th Place -- Furonda, similar to Norelle & April, is one of those girls who made it very far but didn't really do anything that memorable in particular. However, she had a really busted ass weave (it's all relative on ANTM though, I guess), wore a tiara, argued with Jade, and passed out her "Furonda's Tips for Successful Interaction", which were hilarious.
38. JOANIE Cycle 6, 2nd Place -- Snaggletoothed Joanie was a preacher's daughter from north of Pittsburgh who used to strip on the weekends. I personally think she was pedestrian, but the judges always loved her photos. She had to go to the dentist for 12 hours to get her snaggletooth removed, which was pretty interesting. Some of Joanie's photos are very memorable, but as a person, she falls behind many others who didn't make it quite as far as she did.
37. SALEISHA Cycle 9, Winner -- Or should I say Tootie? Saleisha was pretty stank and boring, but what made her interesting and memorable as a winner was her status as a controversial figure after the show. She attended Tyra's fake ass "T Zone" camp before the show, and actually had done runway modeling on Tyra's talk show as well, AND the bitch was in a fucking Wendy's commercial! Contestants on the show were supposed to be completely new to the field, with no previous television or modeling experience, and Saleisha AKA Tootie broke all these rules, but Tyra still had it decided that Saleisha was winning. Which still completely blows.
36. JAEL Cycle 8, 6th Place -- Jael was a stoner girl from Detroit who had a friend die during Episode 3, got pushed in a pool by 50 Cent (yeah, I know), and had an early problem when she won the first challenge because she didn't want her winning a challenge to affect her friendships in the house. Jael was very interesting, but Cycle 8 was filled with larger-than-life characters (and Whitney) so her impact isn't as large as it would be in a different cycle.
35. CATIE Cycle 2, 7th Place -- You know, the girl who got the original "Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby" haircut and hated it, crying non-stop and saying she looked like a boy. During the same episode, she cried even more when forced to do a photoshoot over a gaping hole in an abandoned warehouse, and when her friend Xiomara helped her, Catie completely stabbed her in the back later on at panel, and THEN had a meltdown in the waiting room at panel. Then Simon Doonan criticized her for looking like a hooker, and she was snippy with Betsey Johnson and the "psychic".
34. BRITTANY Cycle 8, 5th Place -- I would do this one but I can't, because of my short-term memory! ...Okay, fine. Anyway, Brittany was one of the early frontrunners in Cycle 8, but fell once she got placed with probably the worst weave ever sewn into anyone's head, her "short-term memory" (from a car accident) prohibited her from doing a good commercial, and she had a complete freakout during the go-see's when her cab driver left her and caused her to arrive late.
33. KEENYAH Cycle 4, 3rd Place -- Keenyah was fat, Keenyah was groped by Bertini during the African dancing photoshoot, Keenyah was an elephant (literally), Keenyah was best friends with Brittany but they got into very funny fights, Keenyah wanted to open Nelson Mandela's cell but didn't even know if he was alive or not. Keenyah was fat again. Keenyah.
32. MICHELLE Cycle 7, 5th Place -- Brought on as a gimmick to be cast only with her twin sister Amanda, Michelle was the one who surpassed Amanda's drive for the competition and Michelle flawlessly rose to the occasion on all of the early photoshoots, and the judges loved her. But Michelle was very unsure, of multiple things. She didn't know why she was even on ANTM and if she even wanted to model, and she wasn't sure if she was a lesbian or not. What better timing than Mother's Day to call your mom on the phone and tell her you're probably a lesbian? Michelle then basically sacrificed herself for Amanda when they were in Spain so her sister could stay in the competition (well, for one more round, anyway).
31. NICOLE Cycle 5, Winner -- The second lowest winner on this list, Nicole was basically the pale, somewhat bitchy girl who got her Red Bulls dumped out by Bre but then went on to win the competition. She was good friends with Kim & Kyle, but didn't really associate with many others. She freaked out over pigeons in London and talked a lot of shit (but not as much as Kim). Nicole wasn't the most exciting winner, but she's a hell of a lot more memorable than Tootie. |

Ewww the only thing Tootie is memorable for is being the worst winner ever. Mila would have been better than her.

Here's the next 10! Some of you might be surprised with some of these, but I'm being as unbiased as possible. I know, Furonda was awesome, but she
wasn't that completely memorable or important more than 38 others. If I was being biased, Jenascia would be a lot higher and Saleisha AKA Tootie
wouldn't even be on the list at all.
30. NATASHA Cycle 8, 2nd Place -- Infamous for being Russian and not understanding the concepts of early photoshoots, "Nata" gained her footing and became a strong competitor, and even uninentional comic relief ("You know, some people have war in their country." "What it do, shorty?") She also had a sugardaddy (you know it's true) and a baby that she missed dearly. All the other girls hated her for no reason, and even at panel when she got negative criticism, she always turned it into something positive! She was truly one of a kind.
29. MONIQUE Cycle 7, 11th Place -- The bitchiest, stankiest, most foul "model" ever on the show, and that's saying a lot. Monique was a "Princess of the Throne", according to her mother, and that gave her license to piss on Eugena's bed, put her hand in her vagina and put it in Melrose's face, and then rub her panties on Melrose's bed (to which Jaeda responded, "That's so icky!"). She also had a heated fight with Anchal and assorted others (AKA the twins) about the phone, and got sick so she got cut early, to which all viewers said "YES!". She said it was all a waste of time.
28. SHANNON Cycle 1, 2nd Place -- The big-toothed Christian girl from southwestern Ohio (read: exciting Dayton metro), Shannon was part of the Bible study group in the house and basically tagged along with Robin & Kesse for everything. She did a photoshoot in Paris with the model she had a crush on since the show began, and she refused to be nude in the final 4 photoshoot, as did Robin. To be honest, Shannon's kind of boring to talk about so I'm not writing any more.
27. CARIDEE Cycle 7, Winner -- Or "Scaridee". She was a "fashion photographer" from Fargo who finally wanted to model after battling suicidal demons because of the psoriasis she had severely. Easily one of the least deserving winners, Caridee was a little too wild and untamed, even getting in trouble after making a smart remark to Nigel. She looked drunk in her Spanish/Catalan Covergirl commercial, and sucked at the final runway show, but she still won anyway.
26. ANN Cycle 3, 4th Place -- The water polo athlete from Erie, Ann formed a quick (very quick) friendship with Eva. She had a freakout on the plane to Jamaica, to which Eva consoled her, bitched about choosing beds and not getting to room with Eva, but ended up not even hugging Eva goodbye when Ann was finally cut in the penultimate episode. Ann's walk was great and she looked great, but her personality blew ass and her photos majorly sucked. When you're comparing your photos to the likes of Jennipher and Kelle, you know there's a problem. And yet she made the final 4 in Japan, over Nicole or Norelle or Toccara.
25. BIANCA Cycle 9, 4th Place -- Supposedly a "good, fun bitch", Bianca proved us wrong when she started attacking the other girls (and Tootie) for no reason. However, all her hair got cut off, which is why she looks like Brandy, and she had a very temporary epiphany and was actually nice for a little while. Then she became a raging bitch again and of course that's a guaranteed ticket to the final 4, which is where she landed. Bianca was the villain on a season with many boring characters, a couple heroes (Heather & Lisa), and Ebony.
24. DANIELLE Cycle 6, Winner -- Gap-toothed and straight from Little Rock, Danielle said annoying phrases like "sucka" and... other stupid shit. She had the most bullshit story arc ever for a winner, having to "overcome her Southern accent" (which IS hard to do) to win. Well, she didn't but she won anyway. She fell multiple times on the runway, hurt her ankle and had to use crutches, got dehydrated in Thailand but still posed fierce (did I really just say that?) on an elephant.
23. NAIMA Cycle 4, Winner -- Naimbleh? I can't do this one. I apologize. She sucks too much.
22. KIM Cycle 5, 5th Place -- One of the most famewhory of all the famewhores on ANTM (along with many of her Cycle 5 castmates), Kim was the outspoken lesbian who made friends with all the girls who got kicked out the very next round (Ashley, Sarah, Kyle). Well, she and Sarah had a "lesbian love affair", as Nicole said. Kim was dumb enough to insert herself in the middle of the Red Bull shit between Nicole and Bre, even though she had just apologized to Bre for talking shit non-stop. Kim was annoying and just seemed to like screen time, which she got in droves. And here's a shocker for some of you...
21. AMANDA Cycle 3, 3rd Place -- Amanda was the "hippie mom" from western North Carolina who had retinitis pigmentosa (now a common ANTM phrase), an eye disease in which she was legally blind and now pretty much completely blind. She also told everyone that Cassie had an eating disorder, she faked losing her crystals but blamed Eva & Ann for it anyway, but then she just kinda disappeared for a while. In the acting challenge with Taye Diggs, she died twice. Amanda was a great, memorable character, but there are 20 ahead of her that can't be beat. |
