American top model pictures of ANTM cycle 12?

Listing the top 13 American top model girls, who moved into the Top Model house in New York City:

1. London, 18, a student from Arlington, Texas. She is a “street preacher” who goes around the world spreading “the word” of Jesus Christ. (I’m not making this up.) For sure the first preacher wearing leather pants and gorgeous high heels…
    
2. Tahlia, 18, a student from Phoenix. She is a burn victim who has had 14 surgeries since being injured at 8 months.
    
3. Jessica, 18, a student from Bradenton, Fla. She’s originally from Puerto Rico. She says she’s never been called ugly. Miss J clarifies that she’s never been called ugly to her face.
    
4. Nijah, 18, an aspiring model from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Miss J Alexander says that her skin is flawless.
    
5. Fo, 19, a student from Albuquerque. She calls herself a “Blaxican” because she is of black and Mexican heritage.
    
6. Natalie, 19, a student from Palos Verdes, Calif. She admits to being from a wealthy family.
    
7. Isabella, 19, an aspiring model from Barboursville, Va. She also has epilepsy.
    
8. Sandra, 19, a student from Rockville, Md. She is very confident. She’s also proud of her dark skin.
    
9. Allison, 20, an artist from New Orleans. She’s got haunting eyes. She’s also very strange — she’s obsessed with nose bleeds. She’s like something out of the Addams Family. Christina Ricci but even thinner with sharper, more delicate features. I call her "America’s Next Creepiest Model."
    
10. Teyona, 20, a loss prevention representative from Woodstown, N.J. She’s a self-professed “Country Girl” with the confidence to boot.
     
11. Aminat, 21, a student from Union, N.J. She has a huge Afro and striking African features. She’s also 6’1”.
     
12. Kortnie, 24, a nonprofit organizer from Houston. She’s also the lone plus-sized model — and the former girlfriend of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
     
13. Celia, 25, from Cynthiana, Ky. She’s the oldest of the contestants. She also says she feels the most beautiful at this time.
     

Which American next top model got eliminated in the first episode of ANTM cycle 12?

A childhood’s game theme was chosen for the first elimination photo shoot.

Allison was judged the ANTM winner for her double-dutch rope game photo.

Isabella is America’s next top model first casualty after having a poor showing during her dodge-ball photo shoot.

This ANTM cycle 12 looks again like a real model agency show: the group of contestants look more like traditional models.

I can’t wait for next week’s ANTM makeover show. It’s always one of my favorites! Which model is going to cry because she is styled to look even better than before? Come and join us next Wednesday on the second show of ANTM cycle 12.
