Jaslene Gonzalez, 20-year-old online college admissions advisor from Chicago, IL, was crowned America's Next Top Model during last night's finale of the eighth cycle of the popular The CW reality series.
The claws came out during last night's penultimate episode of America's Next Top Model's eighth season, as the four remaining runway wannabes were forced to evaluate each other at the judges' panel following a challenge and photo shoot that had them connecting with Australia's tribal past. In the end, Dionne Walters, a 20-year-old college student from Montgomery, AL, became the tenth girl sent packing from the competition.
The six remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model sharpened their interview skills during last night's episode before traveling to Sydney, Australia, where Jael Strauss, a 22-year-old band manager from Detroit, MI, was sent packing back to the States.
The seven remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model tested their acting chops with the help from some ghosts of Top Model's past during last night's episode before Whitney Cunningham, a 21-year-old college student from West Palm Beach, FL who was the lone "plus-sized" model remaining, was sent packing.
The eight remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model gave their names a makeover, learned how to mingle with some celebrities and expressed the different sides of their personality during the photo shoot. When it was over, Sarah Vanderhaar, a 20-year-old photographer from Lake Zurich, IL, was the sixth finalist eliminated from the competition.
The nine remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model were transformed into men for their photo shoot during the sixth episode of the series.

The 10 remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model brought some life to a morbid photo shoot during the fourth episode of the reality competition series. When it was over, although the judges thought all the girls had excelled at the shoot, Felicia Provost, a 19-year-old sales associate from Houston, TX, was the fourth finalist eliminated.
The 11 remaining runway wannabes competing on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model each received a makeover and participated in a nude photo shoot during the third episode of the reality competition series. And when it was over, Cassandra Watson, a 24-year-old college student from Seattle, WA, was the third girl eliminated.
Last night, the 11 remaining runway wannabes on the eighth season of The CW's America's Next Top Model went back to high school to learn how to work the catwalk during the second episode of the reality competition series. And when it was over, Samantha Francis, a 19-year-old sales associate from Pinson, AL, was the second girl eliminated.
