List of episodes

The nineteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model (subtitled as America's Next Top Model: College Edition), consisted of thirteen episodes and was broadcast on The CW. It aired from August 24, 2012, until November 16, 2012, and was promoted by the catchphrase "Only One Can Be Top of the Class". This was the final season to feature thirteen contestants, all of whom were enrolled in higher education, compete for the title of America's Next Top Model, providing them with an opportunity to begin their career in the modeling industry. Its premise was originated with model Tyra Banks, who additionally serves as its executive producer and presenter.

The international destination during the cycle was Ocho Rios, Jamaica, becoming the second occasion in which the series traveled to the country, after cycle 3.

The winner of the competition was 21-year-old Paul Smith's College student Laura James from Cambridge, New York with Kiara Belen placing as the runner up.

Format changes

Casting

This was the first season to feature a 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's Next Top Model ). This is also the last season to feature only female contestants until Cycle 23.

Judges

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. This cycle did not feature guest judges at panel ^[1]

Public voting

Another change was the incorporation of public voting as a factor in eliminations. ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]} A 1–10 scoring system was implemented to determine the merits of each contestant's performances at challenges and photo shoots, and the results for each week were calculated on a 50-point scale, with a maximum possible score of 10 from each of the three judges (Banks, Cutrone and Evans) and for each challenge and a maximum possible average social media score of 10.0. Each week, the girl with the lowest combined score was eliminated from the competition.

Comeback series

The eliminated girls still participated in every photo shoot (including those taking place after the comeback competition was finished), and their photos were also still available to be voted on by the public. This separate competition was documented on the "Comeback series", which was untelevised and instead shown on The CW's official website. It lasted for six weeks, and the winning contestant, with the highest average social media score throughout the cycle (Leila Goldkuhl), was allowed to rejoin the main competition.

Prizes

The prizes for this cycle were a modeling contract with LA Models and NY Model Management, a position the face of the America's Next Top Model fragrance Dream Come True, a fashion spread in Nylon magazine, campaigns with Nine West and Smashbox cosmetics and a $100,000 cash prize. The following prizes were removed: A position as guest correspondent for Extra , a fashion spread in Vogue Italia , a cover of and fashion spread in Beauty In Vogue, a single produced and released by CBS Records ^[6] and a US$100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, the series' long-time sponsor. ^[7]

Notes

1. In episode 1, the pool of 30 semi-finalists was reduced to the final 13.
2. In episode 3, Maria quit the competition during the photo shoot.
3. At the end of episode 8, the eliminated girls were brought back into the elimination room after Brittany's elimination, then at the beginning of episode 9, Leila returned to the competition as a result of having received the highest average social media score.
4. There was no challenge in episode 3, so the maximum possible score that week was 40.0, instead of the usual 50.0. As a result of this, to calculate each girl's total score and average, the scores for episode 3 have been multiplied by 1.25.
5. Yvonne and Darian's scores are the same, due to rounding. Yvonne's unrounded score is 20.81 and Darian's is 20.78.
6. Leila returned to the competition in episode 9.
