America's Next Top Model College Edition: Cycle 19, Episode 1 :: The Girl Who Makes The Grade

Aug 27, 2012

This week on America's Next Top Model (Cycle 19, Episode 1), the first ever College Edition kicks off as 30 hopefuls compete for a spot in the Top 13. Read Kidzworld’s recap of the “The Girl Who Makes The Grade,” which aired on August 24, 2012, to discover what you missed.

New Judges

Two new judges joined Tyra Banks and returning judge Kelly Cutrone this season: professional boxer-turned-model Rob Evans, and creative consultant Johnny Wujek who works with stars like Katy Perry. A fourth judge added for the first time in Top Model history was the fans. Now, through Twitter and Facebook, the viewers can finally have their say.

The Auditions

This season, Tyra scoured post-secondary schools across the country for potential models and invited her top 30 picks back to the Top Model sorority house for one final audition. Each girl showed off her runway walk in a swimsuit and did a photo shoot. The photos were then posted online giving viewers a chance to vote their favorites into the Top 13.

The Top 13

After interviewing each of the girls, the judges selected their Top 13 contestants:

  • Allyssa
  • Brittany
  • Darian
  • Destiny
  • Jessie
  • Kiara
  • Kristin
  • Laura
  • Leila
  • Maria
  • Nastasia
  • Victoria
  • Yvonne

Next week, the competition really begins. But with personalities already clashing and conflicts already heating up, it seems that drama will be brewing right off the bat. And will the fans voting help or hinder the girls in the competition? It could really make or shake their confidence. Check back next week for our review!
