The nineteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model (subtitled as America's Next Top Model: College Edition), consisted of thirteen episodes and was broadcast on The CW. It aired from August 24, 2012, until November 16, 2012, and was promoted by the catchphrase "Only One Can Be Top of the Class". The program saw thirteen women, all of whom were enrolled in higher education, compete for the title of America's Next Top Model, providing them with an opportunity to begin their career in the modeling industry. Its premise was originated with supermodel Tyra Banks, who additionally serves as its executive producer and presenter.

The international destination during the cycle was Ocho Rios, Jamaica, becoming the second occasion in which the series traveled to the country, after cycle 3.

The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Paul Smith's College student Laura James from Cambridge, New York.

Format changes

Casting

This was the first cycle to feature a cast of all-new contestants since cycle 16 (cycle 17 (All-Stars) featured only returning contestants from previous cycles, while cycle 18 (British Invasion) featured seven new American models alongside seven returning contestants from previous cycles of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model).

Judges

Judge and fashion photographer Nigel Barker, runway coach Miss J. Alexander and photo shoot creative director Jay Manuel were dismissed from the show after the previous cycle in an attempt to revitalize the show. They were replaced by British model Rob Evans and Filipino fashion blogger Bryanboy. Johnny Wujek also joined the crew as the new creative director of photo shoots. Evans and Bryanboy joined the judging panel with Banks and Cutrone, marking the return of four permanent judges since cycle 12. This cycle did not feature guest judges at panel[1]

Public voting

Another change was the incorporation of public voting as a factor in eliminations.[2][3][4][5] A 1–10 scoring system was implemented to determine the merits of each contestant's performances at challenges and photo shoots, and the results for each week were calculated on a 50-point scale, with a maximum possible score of 10 from each of the three judges (Banks, Cutrone and Evans) and for each challenge and a maximum possible average social media score of 10.0. Each week, the girl with the lowest combined score was eliminated from the competition.

Comeback series

The eliminated girls still participated in every photo shoot (including those taking place after the comeback competition was finished), and their photos were also still available to be voted on by the public. This separate competition was documented on the "Comeback series", which was untelevised and instead shown on The CW's official website. It lasted for six weeks, and the winning contestant, with the highest average social media score throughout the cycle (Leila Goldkuhl), was allowed to rejoin the main competition.

Prizes

The prizes for this cycle were a modeling contract with LA Models and NY Model Management, a position the face of the America’s Next Top Model fragrance Dream Come True, a fashion spread in Nylon magazine, campaigns with Nine West and Smashbox cosmetics and a $100,000 cash prize. The following prizes were removed: A position as guest correspondent for Extra, a fashion spread in Vogue Italia, a cover of and fashion spread in Beauty In Vogue, a single produced and released by CBS Records[6] and a US$100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, the series' long-time sponsor.[7]

The Girl Who Makes the Grade

First aired August 24, 2012[8][9]

Thirty semi-finalists arrived at a party outside the Top Model sorority house for casting week. Tyra introduced the cycle's judges – returning judge Kelly Cutrone and a new judge, male model Rob Evans, along with new creative director Johnny Wujek. She also reveals that public voting would be a factor in determining each week's results.

Notable contestants included Destiny, who had been homeless since the age of 14, Jessie, who accidentally flashed her buttocks during the walk-off, Kristin, a fan favourite who confessed to being a bully in high school, Laura, who gained attention for being the daughter of Dynasty's John James, Leila, who gained attention for her gap teeth and Victoria, who was homeschooled since the age of 9, and who labeled a fan "racist" for calling her face "boring".

After deliberating with the rest of the judges, Tyra met the contestants and revealed the thirteen girls who would advance to the main competition and move into the Top Model sorority house.

The Girl Who Cries Home

First aired August 31, 2012[10][11][12]

Tyra visited the girls at the house to tell them of the changes in the show's format. These included the new scoring system, a luxurious private room called the "Tyra Suite", which only best photo winners, along with another girl of their choice, could have access to, and the "scholarship bank", in which the winner of each challenge would receive a $10,000 deposit (however, only the winner of the competition would be able to cash in any of her winnings).

The girls were taken to Club Eden in Hollywood for their first challenge, in which they participated in a dance-themed runway show. Brittany, Kiara, Victoria and Yvonne received positive feedback from guest judge Jonte'. Kristin accidentally flashed her buttocks, while Jessie received criticism.

After arriving back at the house, the girls saw their challenge scores displayed on a plasma screen. Challenge winner Yvonne had a perfect score of 10. Destiny questioned her average score of 5, and Kiara said that Destiny may have looked "too stripper". Destiny, offended, discussed Kiara's comment with Darian and some of the other girls. Unbeknownst to her, Kiara was listening to their conversation from the kitchen, and confronted Darian and Destiny.

The girls were photographed by Shenae Grimes for their first official photo shoot, in which they portrayed taxidermied animals. Back at the house, Kiara told the girls about her dysfunctional childhood, while a homesick Victoria tearfully called her mother.

At panel, the girls were introduced to fashion blogger Bryanboy, who was the cycle's social media correspondent. Kristin impressed the public again, while Leila received a perfect score of 30 from the judges. Darian, Kiara and Maria received low scores from the public. The public deemed Brittany "arrogant", while Maria protested that her best photo was not chosen. Leila had the highest combined score, meaning she was the winner of best photo and the key to the Tyra Suite. Destiny and Jessie landed in the bottom two for their "plain" photographs, and Jessie was the first girl eliminated from the competition.

Maria and Victoria refused their makeovers, while everyone else accepted. Tyra visited the girls at the salon and talked with Maria and Victoria regarding her decision not to have her makeover, and Tyra revealed to them what their makeovers would have been. While Victoria regretted her decision, Maria stood by hers. Kelly also confronted Maria about her decision. Meanwhile, Destiny feared that her new hairstyle would "make her look like a lesbian". Back at the house, the girls discussed Maria, while Kiara told Allyssa to tell Darian to "be quiet" after midnight. This led to a heated argument between Darian and Kiara.

The next day, the girls were taken to their next photo shoot, in which they were required to pose nude with Rob Evans. Allyssa, Brittany, Laura and Victoria impressed Johnny, while Darian struggled.

Victoria apologized to the judges for her decision regarding the makeover, and wore her hair curly in an attempt to mimic what her makeover would have been. Darian, Kiara and Yvonne disappointed the judges and the social media. Victoria won best photo, while Darian and Yvonne landed in the bottom two. Their social media scores decided their verdict due to them both having received 16 points from the judges, with Yvonne surviving with a 0.03-point higher score than Darian. Tyra proceeded to inform Darian and the other girls that every eliminated model would have the opportunity to participate in all the following photo shoots in an effort to return to the competition.
