'America's Next Top Model' Final Runway Shows: From Best to Dreck!

Now that the first All-Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model has wrapped, it's time to look back at the final runway shows of all 17 cycles so far.

With some influence from fans on the ABlogAboutThings.com Facebook page here is my official list of the final face-offs ranked from awesome to awful.

Cycle 1 - New York City


In the premiere Cycle of ANTM Shannon and Adrianne went head-to-head in a show for Baby Phat during New York's Fashion Week. This is probably my favorite show of the series. Not because it is the most exciting, but because it is the most realistic to date. These girls were with the big-time models during Fashion Week for a major designer. There was no elaborate production or staged-for-TV bits; it was just a real-life fashion show. Watch it here


Cycle 4 - Cape Town, South Africa


Cycle 4's showdown between Naima and Kahlen was hot and sexy! The girls seemingly walked on water on a runway that was slightly submerged in a huge fountain. They modeled clothes and bathing suits and came through a waterfall during the final pass. The water may have been a bit of a gimmick, but the show was exciting and made it even more difficult to predict who would be named Top Model because they both looked so amazing! Watch it here
