hey tyra.. i was glad allison got that chance of having a modeling contract.. i jus wanted to tell you that i totally love the tyra show and antm.. i am very young but i want to be a model so bad. modeling has always been one of my dreams and i wanted to tell you so if you can message or something me back because i feel you could help me follow my dreams of being a model too. thanks alot tyra.. -mikhala

Some of these posts are absolutley ridiculous. To assume that Tyra is racist..I mean really. I am not sure if anyone noticed but she is an African American woman who struggled into this industry. Teyona may not be everyone's favorite, what the hell ever she rocked every last picture and although she was nervous during her commercial training will assist in the skills that she may be lacking. Allison did not win for various reasons. Main one being her personality and lack of presence. Which she can overcome in time. I think no matter what we should all encourage one's dreams and not be so negative. It is so easy to judge when you are sitting on a couch and not making the sacrifices that each of those girls made.

hey every one... i agree totally allison should have won. i mean teyonda has high cheek bones but so does half of these african models. teyona will never go far in this indusrty probabbly doing lot 29. fubu all these urban wear designs. unlike allison, she would be perfect for the high fashion industry if you look at these girls that are working in the industry as highfashion models such as gemma ward, natasha poriskova, daria werbory,lakshmi meenon, jessica stam, chanel iman agnyess deyn, raqueal zimmerman etc i could go onn teyonda has no chance in anytime.lol! if you put allison if the fiercest couture and teach her how to give face. allison could probably fit the picture to work as a high fashion .a real high fashion model please!!!!!! and please tyra bring janice back bring janice back to be honest this is the only season ive seen since janice laft its soooooo lame!!!!!!!!!!!!! we ned janic we need janic we need janice

I think that Allison should have won America's Next Top Model. She was the one who took the best pictures and could do commercials way better than Teyona. I dont think Teyona was pretty either. And it should have been between Aminat and Allison not Teyona and Allison. This season was the most dissapointing, regarding the winner.

Boo to Allison she didn't care about winning the competition or this Nous modeling contract. I am soo happy 4 Fo I wanted her to win all along! Tyra cares ALOT about who wants it girls who are ambivalent about the comp. NEVER NEVER NEVER win! So all this Teyona ahting needs to stop she wasn't my fav but she definately wanted and desreved it more than cooky Allison. Plus Allison is weird quiet and dorky and only cute in a pet chipmunk kinda way. And her cover girl photo was hideous!All in all of the final 3 the right person won.

Again, everyone knows Aminat should have won that Teyona is pretty and worked hard but Aminat is what modeling is I think sometimes there is a little jealousy going on but Teyona has nothing on Aminat and also what can Allison do with a modeling career give it to someone who wants it and deserve it making it to the final 3 was hard and even though Aminat didn't win every agency out there is crazy if they don't want someone with her beauty,style, and confidence.

to be honest, i just dont think will go far as a MODEL. sure, shes cute and has a great personality and is really pretty- but that is not what makes a FASHION model. she has a curvy, athletic body, which is not suited to fashion, not to mention the fact that not only is she short but she LOOKS even shorter than she is. she is not a fashion model; however i think she would possibly succeed in commercial print. ive been signed with an agency for years and know what they tend to look for when searching for high fashion models, and that is pretty much standard across the board. its unfortunate that the industry only accepts one body type to represent top designers, but in all honesty, theyve decided that clothing looks better on tall, thin girls. now that thats over, i really do hope that fo can book jobs, and think that alison will do relatively well, although i dont see her ever booking runway work

I have 4 children. My oldest Celine is 10 yrs old. Shes georgous, Takes great photos, tall, thin/athletic. My question is How do I get her involved in modeling? I know nothing about the businss. Ive heard about some no good experiances, and places that charge mega$ for a portfolio. Im a single mom and have zero extra dollars to put out there. I know my daughter is perfect for modelling. Shes outgoing ,expressive, and a true joy to be around. Can you offer me any advice? If so it is greatly apreciated... Thanks

Hello, ladies. I have to agree with most of the opinions I've seen posted. Allison should have won hands down to the other girl. Unless it's just a conspiracy to to snag up the best girls for their own and just litterally hand the dog the bone. No offense really intended for the winner, but if everyone is complaining about the outcome, maybe you should let America vote like Idol does.I think then people won't assume your show is fixed. Good for Allison.My 2 teen sons, my aspiring super model/mogul 10 year old daughter, and everyone in America agree Allison should have won or Animat should have been given the chance.The winner has an inability to speak her own language with grace or proper grammer.Aren't they supposed to do commercials? I would more likely purchase Covergirl Cosmetics if either of the better girls had won.I'm sorry Tyra, but this is the first time you all disappointed me. You need Janice more than you think you don't.

Both Girls are beautiful but I believe Amina should have won or atleast been picked up right away. She has perfect stature, grace when she walks, of course her features are on point, posture perfect and confindence. Any upddate on her career???

THE LAST PART GOT CUT OFF SO HERE IT CONTINUES:::: SURPRISED WHEN NIJAH LEFT THE SHOW AS SOON AS SHE DID. For all you silly girls that think Tyra is racist STOP IT. This is the first cycle i feel that all the ethnic girls blew away the rest of the competition over all...If you remember last cycle there were also some strong black girls and they all got voted off from the start one after the other and yeah it bothered me, not becaue they were black but because a few of them by far were the strongest. NOw if she were racist i doubt they all would have left so soon...Lets not forget the fact that Tyra is black and it probably works against her in that she no doubt has to vote many off even if the judges felt they were the strongest just because people might think the show is being bias and thats not right either..The way i look at it either way the poor girl is screwed...Lets take it a step further why is it that in most cycles a majority of the girls are white, 1 to 4 might be black, maybe an asian and or a latina. Flip the script, what would you say if 80% of the girls were all black or all asian or all hispanic and 1-4 were white for a change, God forbid ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOOSE SO GIVE ALL THE RACIST CRAP A REST, SHUT IT AND LAY OF TYRA...........PEACE OUT

Ladies do you mind if a gentleman gives his opinion. I modeled for years and runway turned out to be my best friend even though for most it doesn't pay the best in the industry. I wanted Animat to win, her commercial hands down BLEW EVERYONE AWAY.........Teyona Pictures(including her cover girl pic) thru out the show were amazing and her Walk as Aminat's ridiculous...Allison grew on me and by the end of the show with the do pulled back finally to me in person looked like a model....she even pulled her walk together and should be proud. Her big eyes, yeah sure she was unique and stood out because of it, but over all i don't think she was the strongest. To be honest I loved Fo and wished she was 2-3 inches taller, if she was she no doubt would have murdered everyone. I also like Tahlia, forget the burn scars, her FACE, in person or pics...no one in this competition touched that Beauty, unfortunately she lacked confidence and it caught up with her. One last thing i have to mention is the NESTING shoot Tyra shot....As a mixed race guy myself, i know how tricky lighting can be for black models and how much more pasty white skin and or blonde hair with a dark contrasting back ground can really make you stand out in a good way. Hence ALlison stole that shot and Celia a close second, you didnt even notice her age in that shoot, both a stunning shot and they stood out over all the competition...However you can't let that one shoot stare your overall conclusion as too who should have one....I have to shout out to Nijah as well i think her face out of the 4 black girls was perfection, and i was

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT TOP MODEL AND TYRA BANKS. I LOVED ALLISON FROM THE BEGINNING AND SHE WILL GO VERY FAR IN THISW BUSINESS AND I WOULD LOVE TO SE ALLISON AND HEATHER(CYCLE 9) TEAM UP BECAUSE THEY ARE MY TWO FAVES

I am so thrilled that you are giving Allison and Fo the chance of a life time. Way to go Allison and Fo.

I'm so glad that Allison and Fo got signed by Nous Model managment. Those two were the ones that I had wanted to win from the begining. They are both so pretty and resh looking and they really deserved it! :)
