It's been a race to the fierce finish, but only one girl can be on top!

In honor of the "America's Next Top Model" finale, the Cycle 12 cast is reunited here on Tyra's stage! It's a graduation theme as Tyra hands out awards for "Best Body," "Best Dressed" and more -- all voted on by the girls themselves! Also, some very special guests reenact the most dramatic moments of the cycle with a lot more model mayhem in store. One of the girls even has a surprise for us!

adrian, you are so stupid! Tyra does know what the industry looks for and he has made it. She is retired as a model now and still make way more money than you can dream of. She has been is so many fashion show on the cover of countless magazines she was a Victoria's secret model for heaven's sake. You could easily be one of the dumbest people I have ever come across. And here's a question for you, have you made it in the modeling industry? I didn't think so.

I just want to say I love ANTM but the finele was the worst ... you Tyra and the judgs are not realiable , I am not saying this cuz Allison was my favorite is cuz she did better coemrcial , better walk and u guys prefer the other one. Stop doing it like is a competition cuz is not, is about wich one the judges prefer, or maybe you have no eye for a model , cuzz Allison had everything and finaly someone was in a show that you can see in magazins and everywhere. will be the last time i watch the show , you guys did it really bad this time. but thast explains everything why you didnt even make as a Top model ....you just have no eye for fashion..sorry about that, ALLISON THE BEST

Just have to start off saying that i love ANTM! But, was very disappointed that Teyona was the winner. I did not feel that she was the best.Allison was much better. This reminds me when Whitney won, her competitor was much better. Hopefully, I will not be disappointed in future shows. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tyra, I have been watching Top Model since when it first aired and have never missed an episode. But I have to admit that twice I was not happy with the results. I know you always say on your show that as a model you know what the industry is looking for and that is why you pick the winner and so on. I really wanted Allison to win. She was the only girl in the house that evolved so much in the whole cycle. She has improved every week where as Teyona remained the same. Make you wonder if this is just as fast as she is going to get where as Allison has that to want to change and want more. Many times I hear on the show the comment... "She wants this more." Who can say who wants it more. Just because you don't say it all the time doesn't mean you don't want it just as much as the next person. I am not saying this becase Allison was my favorite actually Celia was my favorite girl in the house and I was hurt by the fact that the judges kept talking about her age in terms of modeling. You know how old these girls are when you chose them so why keep briing it up. Lastly I would just like to say that this was my last season watching this show I will stick to my American Idol where our votes determine who stays and who goes. After all we are the ones who watch the show. Good luck with the future shows. :-)

Hi Tyra, you do such a great job! I watch ANTM not for the modelling but for the photography. I liked to see what the fashion photographers are doing to get that great shot. I love when I see you behind the camera and how you work with the models at a photo shoot.I love photography and I take a lot of pictures but mostly of wildlife and landscapes. I would love for Nigel to start a show for photographers. The Next TOP Photographer show. Well, I enjoy watching the show. Keep up the great work...Jelena

ok wait! Allison was one of the two who got the contract. They were told after todays Tyra show because Allison has on the same swimsuit. BUT ANTM aired later in the evening. Did Allison already know she was not going to win ANMT. I thought boths shows were close to live taping. I think we were fooled into thinking ANTM was a surprise to the winner. Shame on you Tyra.

Tyra, When I saw Teyona chosen in a very, very tight race, I braced myself for her not to win. NOT, because Allison was better, better improved, perhaps, but in a sticky situation where race is involved, the winner would have almost always have been Allison. Whenever there isn't a huge gap and it's close, we tend to go with dominant. I applaud you for taking the heat and choosing the one you judges felt was the winner. Thank God, it's not a voting contest! Let us not forget previous season winner, Nicole, seriously messed up in the final and went on to win. She had the face, consistency and more confidence as a model and the other finalist, Nik.

Tyra, I also wanted to say how wonderful it was to see the Model Graduation!!! I knew when Tahlia left the show that bigger things were in store for this courageous young woman. Today demonstrated that it's ok to be afraid or doubt, also there's price to pay, she wasn't a finalist and could have been. What I saw today was way better than a lucrative modeling career, the outreach she can now perform is so priceless and valuable...she's a natural and possess a beautiful soul. celia is from the school of use everything to your advantage, it works, sometimes and sometimes not. I can barely watch the shows because of the cat fights and skip the loft portions. But, it's how we're all human.

Dear Tyra,I really wanted Allison to win and can dyou tell me when is the cycle 12 graduation party on the tyra show and is there a reshow of it? I just figured out that every third cycle a black girl won. Eva form cycle 3, Danille from cycle 6 , and saleisha from cycle 9, but I thought Allison was soooo good, and even in your delibration you said she was better than Teyona, I mean is this like atradition or something? Every time I choose a girl like I like they all end yp being runner up like th last cycle with Samantha I mean is she really that commercial? Who was your favourite model in cycle 12. I am your number one fan and even though I am a boy I love your shows and I whached almost every cycle of top model. You are the best supermodel in the world, love you! p.s. I am from canada vacouver. Your fan Louis

I am glad Teyona won. She deserved it. I'm surprised Allison made it that far. She always had that "I just got hit with a skillet look".
