*April 3rd update* Fellow Pot Ledom lovers/sufferers: For daily updates on ANTM news, please visit Wetpaint.com/americas-next-top-model. There’s new Allison and Angelea stuff on there right now! *End update*
I’m so proud of my little scary doll-eyed blood lover. I loved her back on Cycle 12 and I still love her now. Even if she didn’t win Cycle 17.
Allison Harvard definitely deserved to be named “America’s Next Top Model All Star.” She always seemed aware that the whole thing was ridiculous — One-word branding? Bath tub perfume ads? Pot Ledom?! I am Tookie?! — and stayed above it without mocking the whole thing or taking it much too seriously.
Angelea Preston, on the other hand, took everything way too seriously. This was her Hunger Games and it brought out all of her emotions —good and bad, but mostly bad.
And then something happened to disqualify Angelea, after the final runway show, right when the panel was about to judge the winner.
As Nigel put it: “It turns out that after shooting was wrapped, our production team and the network learned information from Angelea that disqualifies her from the competition.”
What went on with Angelea? They didn’t say. It was frustratingly cryptic, especially since Angelea was so into the competition up to this point. However, everyone said they wished Angelea the best so she couldn’t have done anything too awful.
***Update***
According to comments below, as well as other reports, Angelea supposedly posted some finale spoilers on Facebook and that got her dumped.
***End Update***
Anyway, the finale came down to two girls after all: Allison vs. Lisa D’Amato.
Lisa grew on me as the cycle progressed. I came to love the wild child. But really? She’s ANTM’s first All Star?
She just doesn’t fit the high fashion mold as much as Allison. She also reads a little “old” to me — model “old” not real-life old. Both Lisa and Angelea are a little more commercial, which fits with the “Extra” correspondent part of the competition, but not the pure modeling part.
Allison actually matched her branding term — unique — which automatically set her up to win, in my eyes, since that’s what they were looking for to begin with. Lisa was given “daring” and Angelea had “persistence” and neither one had the same ring.
Plus, Allison at least kept pace with her previous season, even if she didn’t improve on it. (I don’t think anyone really improved.) She took gorgeous photos and managed to turn her I-can’t-look-into-the-sun issues into assets, since it made her eyes tear up and look stunning. She also came out of her shell a lot more and showed her personality, which seemed to include a dry wit and natural gift for random goth music videos.
On that note, I got sick of hearing about her supposed lack of personality — as if being more reserved than the crazies is the same thing as having no personality. It isn’t. Just like being loud and overconfident does not equal a personality. To me, it just equals obnoxious. Allison may be reserved but she’s great on camera and if she’s interviewing someone she might actually let the interview be about the subject.
As they said during the finale, she’s one of the most popular past contestants and even The Game fell in love with her. Tyson Beckford wasn’t as into her, but that’s probably because she failed to worship him as much as Angelea.
I like Lisa well enough — and I think she’ll do well with the “Extra” interviews — but Allison was the real star of this season. Maybe they can keep bringing her back until they get it right?

she got disqualified for releasing information on her facebook page about the final three before the show even aired…. so upset that Lisa won
Team Allison!!!

This is an outrage! Alison should have won. I even would have preferred Angelea over that old trout Lisa. She looks like a drag queen!

OhHHHHHHHHHH, YesSSSSSSSSS, She should have won! Exspesially over Lisa, I am TEAM ALISON, ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Allisons personality much more than Lisa’s! Why would they let such a harsh, very worn out soul like Lisa take this win? A model is supposed to be a role model, & Lisa is NO Role Model, AT ALL!!

I realize that this is an old post, but I’m just now reading it, and I’d like to reply to Cathy Stratton’s comment that “A model is supposed to be a role model…”
I’m sorry, Ms. Stratton, but that’s a load of (pick your own noun). Where did you get that? Who ever said a model is “supposed to be a role model”?
That’s your qualification that you stuck on a profession. I have never heard anyone suggest that a model is a “role model.” That’s ludicrous.
Sure, the industry as a whole influences women and girls’ self image when they compare themselves to these beautiful, air-brushed models, but to single out one model and say that he/she is supposed to be a role model – I think you must look to these girls as a role model, perhaps in your own insecurity. But, I don’t know of anyone who would ever look at one of today’s models individually and say, “That’s my role model.”
Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Angelea was disqualified for leaking the final 3 on Facebook.
April 22, 2017 at 3:16 pm

No.she was booted for being a legal escort.which the whole cast and crew knew the entire time.

Why was Angelea really disqualified? The last time I heard the word “endeavors” it meant fired; but why? Aaaahhhh. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning of all the top models and inquiring minds want to know-so tell us.

Did you really write this post within five minutes of the finale broadcast? Nice work!

Other websites are saying Angelea revealed on her Facebook page the final three, and that’s why she was disqualified. They also say that she actually won, until the info was discovered and the last part of the show reshot. If she won, it sure looks like Tyra picks her favorites and does everything to set them up to win, as there have been several seasons where you could predict that a particular favored model would skate on their bad performances while much better models were eliminated to lessen the competition.

I’m so pissed allison didn’t win. On top of being a great model with a unique intriguing look and personality, i have so much respect for her for not getting involved in reality show drama! Shes also creative, intelligent, beautiful, well spoken, level headed, and did i mention i love her?
December 7, 2011 at 10:17 pm

heard Angelea won but blabbed by posting to facebook. They took her win away but she never showed for the reshoot so they ‘learned disqualifying info. and the rest as they say…

Nevermind I know now what happened. Thanks.

Re: the reshooting to eliminate Angelea’s original win- note that Allison has her eyebrows back, making it look like it was not filmed at the same time.

i totally agree i love allison. i loved her in her last cycle and thought she wouldve won it then.. lisa is jus tooo old looking to me. angelea was a second fav an for us not to know y she was disqualified was crap. i love antm but with making the choices they make i dont wanna watch anymore. plus if the final episode was about eye akeup y come we didnt see any make up on lisas eye.. go figure.. GO ALLISON.. 😉

My husband and I are boycotting the show. America’s Next Model crashed and burned last night. Allison was the clear winner. She should have won both cycles she participated in.
December 7, 2011 at 10:26 pm
Jazmin
Rumor has it that angelea originally won but leaked info abt the cycle on her facebook account so they disqualified her and refilmed the final judging to make it look like Lisa won
December 7, 2011 at 10:33 pm

Allison Harvard deserve the title of Americas Next Top Model All Star. After this season, I am not watching anymore because of the poor judging. The basis for elimination is not really consistent with the basis of elimination in the previous season. No wonder the ratings of the show went down and down. Allison will always the best model for me.

I’m not sure why Lisa won… Who would you book… Allison or Lisa?
Lisa looks like she’s 40 plus!.. Who’s going to book her? !!!
December 7, 2011 at 10:40 pm
Leah
Very disapppointed, Allison was my fav, don’t like Lisa, whatever though, Allison will probably do better without being ANTM
December 7, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Ms Marjorie
I agree with Dee (and most other for that matter)! Lisa looks too old for the typical model, considering they are like ballerinas at hit their peak at 25ish.. Also, Lisa’s final photo may have been better (sadly, Allison did look a little blank, but HELLO, pick a different photo where she doesn’t!) but like it’s been stated, can you even see make-up on Lisa? How does the girl that is constantly getting compliment on her eyes not do the best in an eye make-up shoot? Rigged much?! So, mad that Allison (or Laura) didn’t win! They were my favorites! As for Angelea, I don’t care what happened, I’m just glad she didn’t win because I wanted her gone weeks ago!! TEAM ALLISON!!

I told myself that soon as they announce the crazy lizard queen Lisa that I was going to delete the show and not watch it again. I love Tyra and all but she shamelessly plugged herself into everything. She ruined most if not all of the girls music videos, especially my girl Allison.
Seriously The Game or someone needs to hurry up her up for a record deal or something. She may be introverted but even the judges grudgingly admitted that all the photographers who had her wanted to book her. And they are seriously nitpicking on small things. If Ms. J was doing his job Allison’s walk would have been more polished. As for the eye thing… They worshipped them and only really started looking elsewhere because they were sensitive to the light. Wtf, kind of excuse for penalizing her. They could have taken her to a shaddier spot and shot her once they realized or even later in the day not when you have to wear sunglasses almost everytime they got outside in Greece. Frankly I was disappointed angelie was an emotional train wreck under a tough hitch personality, Lisa look like a still wasted, FORMER, model who is due for botox shots. She just looks old… Like desperate housewives on HDTV old with all the flaws. The covergirl shoot was the youngest she get look. Bottom line Allison you will always be number one to me sweetie. I want her song so badly on itunes. Someone give her a modeling and recording contract stat!

I wanted to see the Vogue Italia Photo Shoot Photos! Alison looked amazing! Why didn’t they show any of those photos??? I think Alison should have won too? Unique beats loud & obnoxious in my book any day!

so maybe she did leak the final three but i didnt see it anywhere on any of her facebook pages!!!! i need answers from tyra!!! or anglea!!

I have to say I’m in total agreement with virtually everything posted. I too am frustrated with what looks like pre-scripting the final winners. Why is it that a normal, lovely spirit like Laura or Allison never seem to win over the more obvious sad ghetto tale? Everyone has their own story; they should be judged more on their modeling, not their backgrounds. I’m not sure I want to watch ANTM anymore either. It’s just too depressing to always see the most beautiful, talented girls go home; especially at the end. Would have loved loved loved to see the unique, quirky, and intelligent Allison win. But she’ll succeed in any endeavor she undertakes. I also agree that the followers should have received the complete and total truth about Angelea if for no other reason than to shut down the rumors flying; it completely overshadows the other two models’ story and that’s not fair to them.

This season was all about who Tyra and the panel thought would have the strongest future as a branding personality. It had NOTHING to do with supporting and pushing forward who they think will have a successful future in modeling. Clearly Lisa has no future in real modeling – she looks far too old, and everyone on the panel knows this. Yet she won cause she had the biggest personality and was the most successful reality personality. This show has had virtually nothing to do with real modeling for ages. It’s been all about reality tv profits for Banks and her production company. Clearly – too many people continued to take it seriously, and as a result, she’s made serious “bank”.

Allison was the hands down winner. She’s a braniac cupie doll, what beats that? Just look at The Game’s face while shooting her video, he was in a trance! lol
December 8, 2011 at 4:45 am

Though Allison should have won – she had the best pics, won the most challenges – I think – she didn’t win. Lisa being 30 is actually an asset – but I ‘ve seem the posts all over the net since allstars began – Allison was the favourite – therefore was her brand not the most successful? Good on you, Lisa, but I’m just sayin’ ……..
December 8, 2011 at 11:01 am

After Janice Dickenson’s remarks that the show is rigged – “Covergirl selects the winner” – it all makes sense. Angelea and Lisa are both Latino looking, so that is great for Covergirl to expand in that market. Makes me not want to watch it anymore unless they dump Covergirl as a sponsor and judge the contestants the way we always thought they were!!!
December 8, 2011 at 11:13 am
K
Another thing… Covergirl’s celeb endorsements – Queen Latifah, Drew Barrymore and Ellen Degeneres – 30’s, 40’s – Allison doesn’t fit that demographic—Lisa does (and so does Angelea – she looks much older than Allison too – if in fact she was supposed to be the winner – that makes sense too).
December 8, 2011 at 11:40 am

Honestly, I hate that Allison did not win. I knew from the beginning, a show as unfair as this would never let the more obvious better of the group win. Largest and most die-hard fan base, best look, most comfortable personality, the most piercing eyes, the most liked and wanted! BUT this is probably best for Allison as it does not bind her to any contracts, giving her much more flexibility and opportunity. In the long run Allison is the obvious winner. Lisa is already at the end of her game, and it seems that it has only just begun for her. Allison was popular on the internet with a fan base already established FAR BEFORE she was ever picked to be on the show for the first time. Everyone wants Allison. This is definitely not the last you will hear or see of her.

LISA SHOULD HAVE NOT WON ANTM ….SHE DOES NOT HAVE A LIKE-ABLE PERSONALITY AT ALL AND I WOULD NEVER BUY ANY PRODUCT SHE IS TRYING TO SELL. SHE IS EXTREMELY COCKY FOR NO REASON.. AND I DONT EVEN THINK SHE IS GOOD LOOKING. I WATCH EVERY SEASON OF ANTM..AND THE LAST FEW HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTING, BUT THIS ONE HAD THE WORST ENDING.

I honestly thought;Allison,Laura and Angelea would be the final three.who would of guess!.I been a fan since the start,now I am no longer a fan due to the fact this show is a:fake and fictional.in the real world of modeling Lisa would of gotten the boot already due to age,looking old and been overly cocky. My question is:what does “antm” want in a model.I’m done with this show.clearly this show pick “likable” over “real talent and unique personality”.

I am so angry at this ending that I can’t even stand it!!! I loved Angelea and was totally pushing for her to win. I find it offensive to the viewers that the show did not talk about the reason she was disqualified. This is a reality show after all no?!?!?! WTF I think Tyra is going to lose a lot of viewers with this ending… i hope so!!! the season in general… haaaa don’t even get me started on that stupid ass video … “I’m blalabab”… who ever that stupid character in the book model land… really…model land… come on! Jesus what a total waste of my time!! I am a fan of Angelea and wish her all the best… if she did post something, well not very bright , but she has come so far! Disappointed!

I have to agree that the music video and the model-land thing were horrible. Maybe it would have made more sense if they had shown the whole model-land video but as it was, what a waste. I was disappointed when Laura left and I do like Allison. Neither one of them got into the whole DIVA thing. They were respectful and professional. It just seemed that this has transitioned into a different show, no longer about modeling and how to do it right. But a contest on who can cry the most, have the saddest story and be the biggest witch. So many of the girls that left would have been better choices. I think the three finalist all had their strong points, but I think there were other girls who were more deserving.

I lOVE LISA! This was the all stars show people. Lisa stood out every episode. I like Alison as well. But as a representation of what makes americas next top model fun and memorable to watch I loved Lisa since cycle 5!
Alison admitted multiple times to have no dreams in the limelight and to enjoy a career BEHIND the curtain. She is not a STAR. GO LISA!

Lisa is obnoxious and cocky, her personality consists of shouting and acting, she doesn’t come off real or likeable to me at all. What’s more; she looks really old. Who would book a model who looks 40 and acts like a rowdy little child? No one. Lisa is not professional, she doesn’t give respect to the people she works with, all she does is act crazy in a really fake way. To be honest I have no respect for ANTM after letting her win; she might know how to sing (though I dislike her style) but she’s not an allstar.
Allison should obviously have been the winner, but I favour Angelea, Laura, Kayla, Alexandria and even Dominique over Lisa. They all have star potential and personalities that aren’t just loud. As other people have pointed out; being loud, obnoxious and offensive, is not the same as having a personality. On the same note; introverted people are not blank, they are quiet and they know how to conduct themselves.

angelea was awesome. i really wanted her to win, if not for anything but to shut lisa up. allison was lovely too but i knew she wouldnt win because of her eyes which always got teary in d sun and the fact that she was so introverted. honestly, i just wish angelea could have been forgiven and crowned winner. the end was really disappointing. it just spoilt the entire season…..

Lisa is a star, no doubt, but not the kind of star you’d expect a MODELLING show to push. She’s loud, overly-cocky, and just too much of a firecracker. She’s a ‘star’ based on the category of reality TV, those irritating train-wrecks that get pushed into the limelight for being silly and having no real substance. All through the season, Lisa talked about how much she’s grown as a person but all I saw was someone who had a ‘the-world-owes-me’ complex and who was obnoxious about everything. She got in the way most of the time and always pushed herself in front of everyone else. Case in point, the Xtra challenge which she caused her team to lose because she was too darn crass (oh, but that’s the one who gets chosen as a correspondent???). A real star succeeds based on pure talent, not forcing people to look at them.
Look at the video challenge for example. Lisa did the whole wild and crazy thing that worked for her, yes, but she forced it out. She felt that she HAD to do the best because that was her niche and showed off about the whole thing (really, she had to go last so no one would copy her. I don’t think anyone was looking to copy her; they all pretty much had their own thing going). But Allison – the girl just was humble about the whole thing and she came out on top because of her pure TALENT. Her lyrics were great, her singing was great, her video was great. The Game connected with her and saw her as the real deal, which is what a true star is – the real deal. Lisa looked like one of those people who go all out in an attempt to attract attention while Allison just did things her unique way. And who came out on top in that challenge – Allison.
The results were bogus and I would love to understand the judge’s rationale for choosing Lisa. It seems they hardly ever get it right. In fact, I’m beginning to wonder if they winners aren’t chosen based on who should actually get it but rather who needs it. Perhaps the winners are chosen because that’s the only way they could get into the modelling game. It goes without saying that Allison (and Laura who was my second favourite) can make it in the modelling world. Come on, every single photographer loved shooting her. But Lisa – if Lisa didn’t win, she wouldn’t be able to do anything. Maybe that’s it there. Give it to the girl who can’t get it any other way. Sounds about right to me.

Completely agree with every word!! And as said before, they should be judging based on their talents not their backgrounds. Whomever wants to book a model does NOT care where you grew up or about any of the bs drama you had to go through to get where you are. They only care if you take bomb pictures and walk without falling over.. Gah, like others, I’m seriously debating on whether I’m going to continue watching ANTM anymore.. It has nothing to do with talent anymore, it has to do with whoever has the best sob story and the loudest.. You don’t need to be loud and cocky to take great pictures!!
December 10, 2011 at 2:45 am

Everything you said was just right. I really hate when there’s talented girls and Tyra and the judges seem to look everywhere for a reason to take her out, like the ‘you don’t have personality’ card, or ‘you’re too commercial’ card. If they don’t have personality or they’re too commercial,why the hell did you allow her to go into the competition in the first place? Like Lauren Brie (C10), they kicked her out for not ‘having personality’ and chose to keep non-modelesque Joslyn and Sheena, uhh -.-‘
And yeah they seem to give the title to the girl who needs it the most, to become ANTM you got to have the darkest and hardest background. Why do you think so many ugly and non-modelesque looking girls go audition on ANTM? Because Tyra chooses the ugly girl who has struggled the most just to set an example for the little girls who have zero confidence and zero self-esteem. In one hand it’s great to boost them with confidence and hope but in the REAL WORLD OF MODELING they’re going to get doors slammed in their face.
Tyra is proving me right, on Cycle 9, she said that Saleisha would be a mediocre model without ANTM, like, she needed it the most or else she wouldn’t be around. Saleisha is so commercial, why didn’t they take the ‘you’re so commercial’ card right there? They eliminated real talented girls like Jenah and Heather. Just because they don’t have that much dark background or never attended T-Zone camp doesn’t mean they are not good enough.
In the end, it’s a reality show and they’ll do anything to get ratings or else the show gets cancelled, besides Tyra is a business woman and will do the unthinkable (keep Joslyn over Lauren Brie, lol) just to keep the money coming.

It really should have been ALISON winning out of all three contestant left alison, lisa and angela. Laura should still be in there to.Laura and Alison were and still are my fav’s. I wanted Laura or Alison to win…
December 11, 2011 at 1:32 pm
Laura
Allison should have won hands down. I love how Tyra said that Lisa would be a good role model for young girls, but she made vulgar sexual comments throughout the season and abstained from drinking just because the last season she was on, she was drunk most the time. Also, Lisa is fairly old to be a model. She looks haggard. Oh, and her tattoo bothered me. Her body is her living and she marks it? That’s stupid to me. Now Allison…. I love her. She’s quirky and so talented. Even Game fell in love with her. She took some of the best pictures and won challenges left and right. She won the EXTRA challenge which in my opinion should have been a major factor to who won. Lisa did terribly in that challenge. I felt like I was going to explode in anger when Lisa won. Should have been Allison!
December 11, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Mimi
They chose Lisa?! Lisa?! Wtf! no offense but she’s not an ALL star..she only has a “personality” that’s it..like her voice isn’t even good and she really does look too old. Also I loved angelea but she’s shouldn’t have been in the bottom 3 to begin with b/c she’s not emotionally ready…she broke down alot! Now is unique N the type I can imagine acting and directing.. she’s the only one that stuck to her brand..Lisa was not the wild child through out the whole season..especially the last couple of episodes! so I feel like they chose her b/c they now that she’s gonna cause drama in the future. She did it once after cycle 5…she’ll do it again. but as always they choose the wrong person..
December 11, 2011 at 7:49 pm
Mimi
Also I h8 that the winner has to have a rough past life…like yea that’s good for the viewers that had a bad past..but what about the rest of us that didn’t. Why can’t the winner ever be a person I could connected with..it’s so annoying when they choose those people..so basically if you wanna win u have to have a bad past life….just b/c Tyra had a bad past (claims she does) doesn’t mean the winner has to! I think they just lost alotta fans..
December 11, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Maddyperson
U know what your right! I’m not watching it anymore..it’s too fake. They choose the person that shouldn’t win. I have had this theory for a while..I feel that they don’t choose the best one b/c Tyra doesn’t want anyone to turn out better than than her..like for example there was nothing wrong with Dominique..top 3 should have been Allison, Dominique, and laura…they all had amazing shots and could transform on camera and Tyra knows that..and she doesn’t want any of her “modeling children” to become better than her..
December 12, 2011 at 12:26 am

Lisa is vulgar, especially when she opens her mouth. She did not deserve to win. She is not a role model to young girls who watch the show. Have you seen the disgusting pictures she has of herself and her stupid you tube videos since cycle 5? How could she be chosen? It should be a young woman who is sweet and seems modest. Lisa acts much too superior!. I wonder what she’s ever done in her life to help others. All she complains about since cycle 5 is her poor upbringing! get over it already! how old is she now – 31!! She does take good photos but please put a gag in her mouth!

Just finished watching the entire 17th cycle and I am glad for Lisa that she won the contest. I guess we should not be mad at her nor hate her because all she did was fight and prove her worth and the rest was up to the judges to pick who would win. Everything happened for a reason, and whatever that is, it’s always for the best. Lisa may look old for a model but hey! She won. She didn’t pay the judges’, she didn’t threaten them or anything, they picked her, so if you don’t wanna support her, she deserves at least the benefit of the doubt.
I also love Allison, I like her a lot especially when she taped her 1st music video, it rocked me, it touched me, I really felt it and omg, ‘twas really awesome and she was even afraid she even said she couldn’t sing but whoah! Amazing. She may have not won the contest but she has a lot in her and we all know that she’ll definitely go a long long way. Winning a contest is not always how you can measure a person’s ability or greatness or talents, she will always have it, no matter what. Again, everything happened for a reason. And same thing goes for Laura. She will always be loveable and her life doesn’t end with ANTM.
Cheers to everyone! ♥

They picked Lisa because she’s loud and good TV, not because of some outstanding talent. The winners of Top Model are always the ones with the most struggles and Lisa hardly doesn’t anything but act on the the-world–owes–me idea. I realize that there’s nothing we can do but accept her win, but I will not say it was deserved. Tyra’s continued plugging is proof enough that the show isn’t about whose a good model, it’s about TV and Tyra’s own career.

goddamn, Lisa was nasty as fuck. She reminded me of old trailer trash or some slutty old Californian cougar. She had no class, no intrigue, no mystery, no beauty, no model material. She was a loud mouth with an attitude and a lot of arrogance, crash, and cockiness. That is the opposite of what /america’s/ next top model should be, opposite of what any role model should be. I just get a bad taste in my mouth looking at her. How did she, of all of the dozen of qualified models win? Her sense of style was dated and her face shows 30s, possibly 40s at times. Do you think an aging mother with an addiction could be a fresh young covergirl, a top model? This is the last shuttering gasp of her modeling career. She only gonna get harsher looking from here gurl. I don’t understand what went through Tyra’s mind or the minds of any of the judges or production team. They all must be blind, blind and dumb

Just wanting to ad, though I know this post is old now, that as I watched this cycle again recently it really angered me when they sent Laura home. Their critique to her was: “You look too sexy in ALL your photos.” Excuse me, but did they even bother to check her portfolio? Yes, the Greek salad photo was a bit over the top and if they want to be picky then so was the Pink’s Hot dog shot, but other than those she looks perfectly normal, cute and lovable. I genuinely think they expected the fans to have forgotten and to mindlessly believe them.

Allison should have won. She is beyond. Anyways angelea was disqualified because she was a legal escort a year before she was on antm.which is something EVERYONE on set knew the whole time.she tried to sue tyra for breach of contract.however, the contract says they have the right to revoke prizes and eligibility at any time. I think its gross they booted her for this

But it is “America”s next top model and Lisa represents Americans as a whole very well
