Teyona Wins

As an AVID watcher of Americas Next Top Model, I was proud win they picked Teyona Anderson as cycle 12's winner. Allison Harvard came in second. It was the graceful, power-walker, wind in the face, African American girl vs. the goo-goo eyed, smart, clumsy blonde white girl. Teyona was consistently amazing throughout the entire competition. Although she was not orginally my pick like London and Fo, I realized she really deserved it. When she began to cry because she had a dreadful Cover Girl commercial, you could really feel the passion behind this dream.
She won a great amount of prizes from a Covergirl contract, a Seventeen magazine spread, a regular contract with an agency and some money. She also got to shoot a spread with Tyra Banks herself.
Aminat, the third place winner, got eliminated in the first half of the show after the Covergirl commercial, when she had the best one, and Covergirl photoshoot, because she couldn't perfect the bones in her facial structure. Leaving Teyona and Allison to stomp the runway in a Rosa Cha purely bikini fashion show with extravagant accessory pieces. One run included rolling around in grease where Teyona's hair fell off and she swung it around in the air like crazy. Allison did wonderful during the dance run and Teyona remained robotic.
