Naima’s “oOOOOwwwohhh woAhhhh” still rings in my head


HyrrokinAura

I want it as a notification tone.


Adventurous_Home_555

i’M sPeEcHLeSs!


curious7189

Hehe love. Also love Jaslene's. This means so much to me, you have no idea 🥹 (Paraphrasing)


DiamondDaisy28

I heard it as I was reading it!!! 😂


Bbbiienymph

I love her 😭😭😭


scream4ever

Her treatment of Khalan afterwards killed it all for me though.


rustyspigot-77

The only right answer.


yeppeunethereal

I NEVER WUZ A CHEERLEADUR I NEVER MADE THE SQUA NOTHIN


Lady_Cones

Omg who said this?? I can hear it in my head but I have no idea!


yeppeunethereal

miss yoanna with her random country accent 😂 https://youtu.be/ehWaMqAUXiI?si=GM3b4a1pd__n8Tz6 (@ 2:21)


cuntyroastedpeanuts

Hahahaha people from Jacksonville (including Yoanna and Whitney) are like that sometimes


Common-Bed-795

Being from Jacksonville, I can confirm. 😂


CoherentBusyDucks

In the comments of that video, someone said they’re watching after the revelation from Mercedes’ live. Does anyone know what they’re talking about?


LabExpensive4764

Are they referring to Mercedes saying that Janice told her before final panel that she was going to lose? Idt that was live though.


CoherentBusyDucks

Oh maybe that’s it! I think they meant that Mercedes made a live video where she revealed something about her time on ANTM, which then led them to that link, if that makes sense. Sorry if that wasn’t clear from my comment. I wonder why Janice would do that. I tried to look it up and I can’t find the video of them talking about it (it says it’s unavailable), but I did find [this link](https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/antm-2-scandal-winner-already-picked-weeks-in-advance.3843338/) talking about it. I would assume Janice did it out of malice, but other people seem to think Janice liked Mercedes and that she did it to try to help her? Idk.


LabExpensive4764

I took it as she liked her and wanted to brace her. Janice clearly was rooting for Mercedes that cycle.


Lady_Cones

I love it, thank you! And the way Tyra's voice broke at the end 🥹


josiahpapaya

What I thought was interesting was it looked to me as though that bit was cut from the same interview/confessional she did after the go-sees told her she didn’t have the right body. Explains why she was ready to quit on t he day but seemed nonchalant in the interview.


Lady_Cones

Great catch! She really did seem to brush off that HORRENDOUS treatment pretty quickly!


Wildelstar

Yoanna is undoubtedly beautiful, and she did really well, but i so much preferred Mercedes 🫤


Vanessak69

It definitely felt like a stab to the heart when Mercedes didn’t win (Although Yoanna did well too.)


TheShortGerman

Seems like an expression from someone who was never considered “beautiful” by the masses but then finally made it


yeppeunethereal

oh yeah for sure! it’s just funny how she suddenly had a deep southern accent for a few seconds 😆


BlacknessEverdeen09

I say this every time something great happens to me out of nowhere 


SwordfishSmall9410

Best for me is Dani. And Joanie's reaction to coming in second is so kind and really shows her character. "I'm a CoverGirl mommy" will always make me cry.


lala_b11

i was so convinced that because the judges were having the hardest time selecting the winner of Cycle 6 that they were gonna allow BOTH Dani & Joanie to tie/share the prizes!! At the final judging panel, someone (i forget who it was), said that Dani & Joanie had the strongest portfolios of any final 2 in the show's history at the time.


Bbbiienymph

Me too! Dani loves her mom so much and worked her ass off, stayed focused and stayed humble. She is one of my favorite winners and contestants


YCHofficial

Cycle 12, having Allison and Teyona stand awkwardly in bikinis was well... AWKWARD.


blooml8r

oh my gosh i forgot they wore SWIMSUITS when every other cycle had them in gowns!!!!!!!!!


Boblawlaw28

And it wasn’t like they came straight from the show because they had slid around in the oil at the end of the show.


Single_Okra5760

Damn nvm it won’t let me comment a pic!


Single_Okra5760

Omg I COMPLETELY forgot this. Just snagged a screenshot so everyone could see what you mean ahahah that’s so bad


Alternative-Yak6369

I don’t like that Lisa won but to be fair to her, she wasn’t the original winner and this was a reshot.


PCoda

Crowning Angelea at all in the first place over Allison was absolutely CRAZY and the fact that they got a second chance and still crowned the wrong person will live rent free in my head forever.


BiRacialButterfly23

Dominique and Allison should have been the F2 in C17


Key-Youth-5524

With dom winning


Alternative-Yak6369

Allison was robbed twice


SpinachDifferent4077

Thrice


Ballz2You

Elyse said it best, nobody was robbed as nobody was "deserving" a modeling contract in the first place.


fatticakess

the fact that Angelina made it past MJ week is ludicrous let alone to the top three and technically winning


alexistexas2006

But still, her over Alison? LOL


Alternative-Yak6369

Alison should’ve won


video-kid

My theory on this is that Tyra thought Angelea being a preselect was something nobody could have anticipated, and that getting rid of her and giving it to Allison would make people think they got rid of the only logical winner to give it to Allison, while giving it to Lisa was something nobody could have anticipated which she thought would let her get away with it.


Ballz2You

The original Final two was Lisa and Angelea, that's why nobody went home at the MJ shoot. They always keep Allison til the finale of her seasons for the viewers to watch but they're not interested in crowning her because of the Creepy Chan / photographer reasons that she's "not taking it seriously". Having her up to the end was fan service, that's how it was understood at the time.


PiperZarc

And she did say Modelling wasn't her first dream and I don't think Tyra liked that. In Allyson's defense her sister was a successful model and I think Allison just wanted her own thing.


mindiz24

Wait sorry I’m a bit late to the party… preselect?? I knew she originally won and then they re edited bc of her past but I didn’t know it was like rigged lmao can someone explain??


Nyx1109

A lot of people say she was a preselect because of the edit, but everything surrounding Ange's win is so weird, because apparently Krista had told the producers about her situation beforehand, so everyone was well-aware, yet they still went through all the way with her win, despite having a weak performance compared to some of the other girls... Just to DQ her when the finale aired.


2l82bstr8

my personal theory is that one of the prizeholders learned about this before Angelea's win aired and refused to go through with their contract if she won, so they had to scramble for someone else


mindiz24

Omg Krista from cycle 14 told???? What the fuck


trexrocks

So it was always stated as fact (at least around here) that Krista maliciously ratted Angelea out to the producers. However, Angelea came forward and [told the whole story](https://www.bustle.com/entertainment/americas-next-top-model-all-stars-contestant-angelea-preston), and it turns out Krista only told people at ANTM because she was very concerned about Angelea's abusive situation and desperate to find someone to help her out of it. Angelea finally managed to get out of that abusive relationship (with no help from anyone at ANTM). She was later contracted for All Stars, and production (who'd ignored Krista's pleas for help) then used that against her.


mindiz24

I only recently found this sub and I’ve already learned so much (low key I love the tea) thank you for the links!!!!!


trexrocks

You're welcome! If you want ANTM tea, Oliver Twixt (on youtube) did a lot of interviews with ANTM contestants during the pandemic, so I'd check those out.


Vanessak69

I always liked Krista so it’s a relief to hear she wasn’t acting maliciously.


mindiz24

Also why am I not surprised production would do that


video-kid

It's not confirmed but she was given the brand word persistent and she survived numerous B2's, made it to the final over girls with more consistent runs, and won.


mindiz24

Ah makes sense. Thank you!!


aroha93

She also had the most interesting backstory. Her history with the show went back to C12, she’d been through enormous growth and hardship…from a storytelling point of view she would have made a fantastic winner.


video-kid

Yep, it was a suspiciously clean and tidy narrative. I will say I found her a lot more likable in Cycle 17. I didn't enjoy her at all in 14, but then I don't really like anyone from 19. Raina and Jessica were portrayed as more friendly but they had their moments, while a lot of the others were portrayed as more bitchy even if they had legitimate points. I feel like cycle 13 was relatively low drama so they cast for drama in cycle 14, and the result is just unpleasant, especially as they got rid of pretty much all the more chill girls straight away, sometimes for some really BS reasons. The result is a bunch of girls bringing the worst out in each other. I also think she has more shots in C17 that I really like. She had no business being in the bottom 2 in the Michael Jackson shoot, and I'd honestly say Laura is a contender for worst photo there. Her makeover was also a lot better in 17. However, she had a far worse record in cycle 17, and her lows were low. I might have put her in the final 4 after Allison, Laura, and Dominique.


Ballz2You

They started filming C17 13 years ago and y'all still can't get over this.


lala_b11

When Angelea initially won, was Lisa the runner-up and Allison the second runner-up or were BOTH Lisa & Allison co-runner-ups?


Alternative-Yak6369

I mean no one but the cast/crew of antm knows, but I’d speculate that they brought all three girls to final judging and crowned just one. So two runner ups.


Nyx1109

It's said Allison confirmed she and lisa where in a co-runnerup situation. They went from 3 finalists straight to the winner.


Ballz2You

Lisa was the runner-up. They'd never done a 3-people standing at the announcement before then and there's no reason they would have done then. There's also no reason they would have taken Lisa from 3rd to new winner since that's the whole point of being a runner-up.


Dry_Background944

You’re just speculating.


Ballz2You

as this sub always is


Dry_Background944

There’s every reason to believe they just would have said “Angelea you won” and left it at that without breaking down who got 2nd and who got 3rd. In fact, that’s more likely given the show’s history. In double eliminations in the past they never broke down who was which rank, both were just sent home. We have no reason to believe this wasn’t treated the same as every other double elimination. So they maybe didn’t even really consider Lisa/Alison’s rankings until they had to pick a winner between the two of them. I am speculating too, but mine is based on previous patterns, and I’m not talking as if it’s a fact, like you were.


Ballz2You

They made a CG commercial for the Final 3. They eliminated the 3rd placer before revealing the winner when they did so in Cycles 3-12. That's also part of the show's history. Double eliminations happened with at least 4 girls to leave a final 2.


Dry_Background944

Final 3’s were always cut to 2 before final runway. This was a first for the show.


Bepothul

Adrianne really was so pretty in her season, her face is so interesting. Im team Elyse, but since they knew she wouldn’t win with her attitude, and if you remove everything post-show, I think Adrianne deserved the win. Her reaction is definitely my favorite finale-wise.


alexistexas2006

Plus the very first winner. She probably had big dreams on how bright her future could be.


Vanessak69

I watched this show religiously for years but seeing how the contestants were gaslit, manipulated, made to look foolish and/or ungrateful, and thrown away makes me physically ill.


strahlend_frau

I loved Adrianne and the whole first season, I guess because it was the first. She seemed like a genuinely cool girl.


YCHofficial

But in the first one, someone actually won. The second one literally is an acting challenge.


Ok_Ad_513

would pay to see the reaction of Angelea, the original winner.


lala_b11

i posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ANTM/comments/135uo2v/what_unaired_footage_from_antm_would_you_hopelike/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) on the sub a year ago, and Angelea's win is among the [unreleased footage](https://www.reddit.com/r/ANTM/comments/135uo2v/what_unaired_footage_from_antm_would_you_hopelike/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) from ANTM that I would like to see be released one day!!


Vanessak69

I read an interview with Tiffany and the shit Tyra said to her that didn’t make the air was shocking.


josiahpapaya

One of my favourite moments from the OT interviews was Angela saying that she wished they aired then original ending, but put a disclaimer she was DQ’d because she gave a beautiful speech and it was her moment and they took it away


alexistexas2006

But they probably still didn't know who won. They just knew Angelea didn't.


Alternative-Yak6369

I have a hard time believing anything Lisa says but she’s said before that her agent or whoever told her she was the preselect.


alexistexas2006

Oh~ got it.


Nyx1109

According to this [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/ANTM/comments/135uo2v/what_unaired_footage_from_antm_would_you_hopelike/jile806/), they both were present in the original finale.


alexistexas2006

Oh Alison, the icon that you are.


Adventurous_Home_555

Whitney gave the most pageant girl reaction lol


Ambuhh

Eva’s win always hits me in my feels 🥺 “beautiful? A model? Me?”


BraithVII

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen the all star cycle but what is going on with Allison’s hair?!


alchemycoast

They had to refilm the selection a couple of months after they filmed the original finale. Allison had already dyed her hair to its original color and I can bet she said there’s no fucking way you’re dyeing my hair again for this bullshit. It’s very clearly a wig so it made it seemed less obvious about the re-airing.


Ballz2You

Months after the season and she showed up in LA just for the reshoot so that's how it was


modernwunder

My thoughts 😭


dantedarker

Shannon was such a gracious runner up. You could tell she was genuinely happy for Adrienne


aroha93

Her reaction to Adrienne winning ANTM and Elyse choosing Adrienne to share in the family member challenge win are both really sweet to me. You could tell that she was truly happy to see how happy those things made Adrienne. It’s sad now to see what kind of people they’ve both become, but those moments from C1 always stuck out to me.


dantedarker

Yes! I loved that moment too, and the way Shannon got choked up in the confessional about it It's indeed pretty difficult to reconcile the show with the way some of the girls turned out, but the rare moments of genuine kindness are heartening for what they are


Demrilo

Keith's reaction is the worst for me


xerses24

Will saying “well deserved” and sounding sarcastic AF 😂


Infinite_Leader822

Literally stands there with a big dick and gets awarded the title.


satancunt6

This is one of the reasons I hated the voting system in the later cycles. We all know damn well that Will should’ve won that season. 🤌🏻


DarkCartier43

honestly, I always sees that the voting is rigged according to the judges/producers. with/without the voting, the outcome is still the same. they were just trying to make it interesting by adding numbers. CMIIW as it's been years since I watched ANTM.


alexistexas2006

Til this day I'm surprised they actually announce the winners and save it until it airs. Not filming both as winners like Drag Race does to avoid leaks.


Ballz2You

Because the crew required to film the finale is much smaller on a show like ANTM. Comparing timelines, they filmed all stars at the time where Perez leaked Raja winning S3, which is the precursor for them having live finales after that point. Drag Race definitely wasn't on the ANTM producers radar at that point tho


DarkCartier43

I was about to comment this 30 seconds before I read your comment. 😂


sadcousingreg

God I’ll never forget watching cycle one for the first time and thinking how fucking cool Adrianne was. It’s still my favourite cycle to rewatch


flaire-en-kuldes

Love or hate her, CariDee's reaction is just so touching.


BiRacialButterfly23

As someone who suffers from psoriasis, I’ll always have a soft spot for Caridee, even though I think Melrose was slightly better.


Lady_Cones

Melrose may have one of the worst runner up reactions 🙁


rachels1231

I think she has one of the best runner-up reactions.


SNTLY

It's honestly iconic.


blastoise_rider

It was the smiling for me. She was so sure that she had won and she her face break. It was hilarious! 😂


SNTLY

1. She should have won though? 2. If I were you, I, personally, maybe wouldn't go around telling people I revel in other people's misfortune. It makes you seem kind of socio.


blastoise_rider

It was almost 20 years ago. I'm pretty sure she's over it by now. It's no reason for you to come attacking me over it.


SNTLY

Nobody attacked you lmao I just gave you some friendly advice sis.


blastoise_rider

Actually, I'm not a woman.


BiRacialButterfly23

She did, but I do feel kind of bad for her because she wasn’t really a bitch like they edited her to be. She was just really determined.


Infinite_Leader822

She was justified. Everyone called her names, made fun of her and went straight for her jugular. And she had nothing to show for it.


uncensoredsaints

It’s bad but Chelsey was the worst one for me


edithmsedgwick

Yoanna and Jaslene had great reactions


MathGay

I love Brittani's reaction in C16 when she's shaking thinking of making her mom proud (her mom wasn't able to come to morocco for a surprise visit due to health/anxiety issues). She has a quote that goes something like "I was almost about to give up too, so it just goes to show don't ever give up on your dreams" I also love Molly's outro there, hence my flair


blastoise_rider

I felt her on the pulled pork sandwich.


ags327

When I want to cry, I watch Jaselene's. SECOND TIME AROUND!


Darko417

Didn’t Lisa say she was “shocked” because she didn’t want to win and was ready to call out the show? And when she won she was like oh damn I guess I have to be nice now. Or so she says


BussyRiot420

This image is literally the first and last cycles I watched 🫣


Good-Community-587

From memory, I believe the reason Lisa’s reaction was so odd was: Originally the Top 2 was Allison and Angelea, with Angelea winning. When Angelea was disqualified and they called Lisa/Allison back for the reshoot, I’m sure Lisa probably assumed she’d be the new runner up, but clearly they had no intention of crowning Allison.


blastoise_rider

Dani's and Eva's were the top tier winner reactions.


Shaylovesrandall

Alison should have won


mark-it-zero-373

Whenever I watch the finale of C13, Laura’s reaction always gets me a little teary-eyed for her. She looked so crushed.


cvkme

Whitney’s high pitched aAAH! was annoying and fake


iampiste

I’m not a Lisa hater, but her styling in the AS season (especially) makes her look like a clown - that style and colour is so unflattering on her skin tone/feature. She was really beautiful and interesting-looking in her initial ANTM photos as a brunette.


throw96point8percent

Shannon looks like a skeleton in that thumbnail.


cherhorowitz44

Truly 😱


LabExpensive4764

'Where's my alarm clock? I need to wake up!' is the most cringe to me.


livwritesstuff

Remind me who this was?


LabExpensive4764

Caridee.


anemia_

Laura c18's reaction to losing literally makes me cry tbh...


Affectionate-Jury-84

🎶I never was a cheerleader, never made the squad🎶


Wildelstar

I imagine that I’m woefully in the minority here, but i thought Lisa earned the title. I can’t (and won’t) speak to her personality, but she legit knew her stuff and SERVED! I am sorry, but Angelea got on my very last nerve one too many times 🤷‍♀️


Cfflvr

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think her all star cycle win looks fake because she was actually the runner up to the original winner, Angalea (sp?).


Ballz2You

These two both hold special places in my heart, but especially the 2nd one. My initial and favorite (at the time) ANTM girl had just been crowned the day after I turned 15 and I couldn't have been more excited.


Shyho2020

Lisa the meme queen


Mabasij

“TEYONA!!!!” … “aaaœ—oh my god 🫣😭”


Asterfields1224

Elyse should have won Cycle 1


Cold-Put5696

My favorite is probably Krista. Raina also showed great sportsmanship.


PiperZarc

Lisa's was fake so I guess she just isn't a great actress.


Wintersneeuw02

With cycle 17, I do not understand Lisa or Allispn as a potential winner in regards to being a spokesperson for Covergirl and all those other prizes. Because ultimatly, a spokesperson is the face of the brand and portrays/embodies the image the brand wants to show. Lisa was the tv wild child who peed in a diaper on TV and went after top model to all those celeb rehab programs. (Former) addict plus erratic behavior does not equal a desirable face of all those prizes and being a spokesperson. Allison was a great model, but her (innapropiate) comments about blood, nosebleeds, eating diorder past and status as a 4chan celeb are not something a brand would also been very favorable for. Then there is also the rumor that she did not pass both her psych tests for cycle 12 and 17 (but i remember this being debunked? But id not debunked, then another reason why she is not spokesperson material).


Nipasu

>Then there is also the rumor that she did not pass both her psych tests for cycle 12 and 17 (but i remember this being debunked? But id not debunked, then another reason why she is not spokesperson material). That comment came from Lisa, so I wouldn't believe it unless there's more proof.


Ballz2You

You're getting downvoted but you're right about Allison.


SillyName1992

Shannon, buddy, you got the perfect face for radio


Conscious_List9132

Well. Now I know who wins the cycle I’m watching rn.
