America's Next Top Model: College EditionAmerica's Next Top Model: College Edition (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
America's Next Top Model: College Edition is the nineteenth season of America's Next Top Model and the thirteenth season to air on The CW. America's Next Top Model, Cycle 19 featured thirteen new hopefuls, all of which were currently enrolled in higher education. It premiered on August 24, 2012. Cycle 19 aired in a new timeslot, Fridays at 8 P.M. Tyra Banks and Kelly Cutrone returned as judges for this cycle. The international destination for this cycle was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. This was the second time the show traveled to Jamaica (previously visited in Cycle 3). The catch-phrase for this cycle was "Only One Can Be Top of the Class." The winner of the competition was 21 year-old Laura James from Cambridge, New York representing Paul Smith's College. Show and prize changesThe show underwent many major changes for this season. Most notably, 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. Another change was the incorporation of public voting as a factor in eliminations. The contestants now received numerical scores for their performances in the challenges and photo shoots. These scores, along with an average score from the fans, were added up to determine who stayed in the competition every week during eliminations. The girl with the lowest combined score was thus eliminated from the competition. However, for the first six weeks the eliminated girls were still be able to participate in the photo shoots, and their photos were also available to be voted on by the public. The girl with the highest social media score out of the eliminated girls was allowed to rejoin the competition.This was the first cycle to feature an entire 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). Additionally, casting was brought back for this season for the first time since Cycle 15. This cycle also does not feature guest judges at panel, and the episode titles were changed from the guest judge name to "The Girl..." which was applied from Cycles 1 through 9. The prizes for this cycle were:
