'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

ANTM Cycle 1 runway

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

ANTM cycle 4 runway

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

How Would You Make Someone's Day Better [SPONSORED]

Western Union's World of Betters is all about making people’s day better.

It all begins with a simple but important question, "what would you do with $1000 to make someone’s day better?"


People can go to WorldofBetters.com where they can submit their idea. They can then share their "better" on their social networks to help get as many votes as possible.

The top 500 publicly voted betters are then narrowed down to the final 100 winners, and each winner will receive $1000 to make their better happen!

The Winner of 'America's Next Top Model All-Stars' Is...


After an season full of returning models, lots of drama, brand building and some silly Tyra Banks action we finally have the winner of the first season of America's Next Top Model All-Stars!

The finale came to three super strong and very unique girls -- Allison, Angelea and Lisa -- and they went head-to-head-to-head in a challenging runway (with water and flying!) to see who would take home the big prize. But as it turns out, one girl was disqualified after filming the results and the had to re-shoot the final panel and crown a new winner!
