Teyona
The CW

Because of the whole Paulina-getting-fired thing, it doesn't surprise me that the judges choose the winner they choose. It's only logical that you follow illogic with illogic.

Teyona in Pictures

    I'm not quite sure how Teyona plays hop-scotch, but it's certainly exaggerated in this terrible photo.

    The CW

    Teyona's makeover was really just the addition of a longer, curlier weave. Her resemblance to an alien is striking sometimes.

    The CW

    She makes herself stand out by aligning her body with that pole - and thus began Teyona's string of fantastic photos.

    The CW

    Though I question the bizarre placement of yellow paint on her face, she still manages to work it and come out looking gorgeous, albeit somewhat confused.

    The CW

    Teyona is convincing as an Ellis Island immigrant, replete with sorrow and a suspicious glance. Definitely believable.

    The CW

    OK, I take back the 'string of fantastic photos'. I should say, string of fantastic SOLO photos. Cuz this one's a total dud. Teyona's teeth take centre stage.

    The CW

    She plays hot and sexy with Ciara.

    The CW

    Teyona comes into her element in Brazil: she looks steamy, sensuous, as if she's hiding a secret. Probably her best photo.

    The CW

    Yes, she looks great on the beach, but the dude's abs are totally drawing attention away from her.

    The CW

    Teyona's is the only bird nest photo that doesn't really do it for me. It's boring.

Allison in Pictures

    Allison was a forgettable face this early on in the competition.

    The CW

    After the makeover, her newly-dyed hair brought out her striking features - most notably her eyes.

    The CW

    In her team pose with London, the two looked exactly like a couple of b--ches judging other girls at the mall.

    The CW

    In the black and white shot, Allison's pose is a bit strange, considering she's supposed to be fresh off the boat at Ellis Island. Not exactly the time for vogue.

    The CW

    Allison was a hot vixen in this shot with Ciara.

    The CW

    This beautiful photo shoot showed us how gorgeous Allison can be up close.

    The CW

    The light shot is meh, though the makeup and hair combo really works with her. Also, at least she stands out from the other girls.

    The CW

    Shockingly effective as Carmen Miranda, Allison rocks Brazil.

    The CW

    But not so much at the beach, where nearly everyone else in the photo stands out more than her. Even the fat guy next to her draws the eye more effectively.

    The CW

    Allison already sort of looks like a scared bird, so she had the advantage when she was ordered to pose as a scared bird. Hot pic!

Aminat in Pictures

    Before the makeover, still with her trademark afro, Aminat towered over the other girls and made it seem like she was in charge. At 6'2'', she's bound to look a bit awkward.

    The CW

    The makeover (in my opinion) robbed Aminat of her originality. Though the weave is pretty and gives her a sense of class, it's still a bit too boring.

    The CW

    Aminat's face shows desperation and sadness, so she rocks the vibe of the shoot, but she's looking a bit dull.

    The CW

    Again, this shoot is beautiful, and nearly everyone emerged with a great shot. Aminat's stunning bone structure and full lips are truly breathtaking.

    The CW

    Together, Aminat and Fo won this photo shoot, hands down. Their faces are in sync, and unlike all the other groups, they're actually believable as a duo.

    The CW

    She's lost in this shot, and is upstaged by Celia (far right). Not her best work.

    The CW

    Despite claiming how much she LOVES Ciara, Aminat looks immensely bored in this photo. She may as well curl up and go to sleep.

    The CW

    Again, the face isn't really working here. The body says 'Carmen Miranda', the face says 'I'm confused.'

    The CW

    Of course, on the beach, Aminat's spectacular body looks like a streamlined missile in this picture.

    The CW

    After getting over the fact that she could squeeze her tall frame into a teeny nest, we can see that Aminat plays the vulnerable bird part really well.

The CW

There’s a jeep on fire and Tyra’s wielding a wrench. Feathers are plucked from frightened model’s faces as Miss Jay talks in squawks and coos. This isn’t a bad dream; it’s ANTM Episode 10.

Which girl is going to take home the title?

Cycle 12 Contestants

Looking back at these gallery images, I would have never pegged Teyona as Top Model. But then again, I haven't understood the past three winners. I never really grasped the Teyona love, even though Tyra and the judges did. Guess that's what really matters.
