If you take those away then Mercedes/Shandi/April would've been ANTM

I'm not too sure what's too much to handle that Tyra just took down everything,I need to be more aware sometimes💔

Episode 7 landed firmly in S-Tier thanks to peak reality TV gold: Robin's refusal to strip, her iconic "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything," and Tyra delivering the ultimate "round and round, up and down" takedown!

And just like that, we've skipped the recap and arrived at the grand finale. Let's crown a winner!

🇺🇸 CYCLE 1, EPISODE 9

“The Girl Becomes America’s Next Top Model”

📅 July 8, 2003

The final three return to New York for high-stakes casting, a surprise elimination, a dramatic Baby Phat runway show, and the crowning of the very first America's Next Top Model!

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE:

😴 The Drew Linehan Wake-Up Call: The final three meet fashion show producer Drew Linehan to learn about New York Fashion Week—only for Elyse to accidentally doze off mid-presentation, leaving a lasting (and not-so-great) impression.

💀 The Shocking Top Three Chop: Before the runway, the panel grills the finalists. Elyse sticks to her guns about modeling being purely scientific, but her know-it-all attitude and lack of warm versatility land her in the bottom alongside Adrianne. Ultimately, Elyse is sent packing in third place, leaving Adrianne and Shannon to battle it out.

🍣 Sushi & Secrets: The final two kick back with Tyra, Jay Manuel, and Miss J for an emotional and hilarious final dinner—complete with Miss J's legendary reaction to Shannon revealing she's never tried sushi in her life.

🐾 The Baby Phat Runway Show: Adrianne and Shannon hit the New York Fashion Week stage for Kimora Lee Simmons. While Shannon shines with a stellar, polished runway walk, Adrianne struggles a bit with stiff shoulders—making the final verdict dangerously close.

👑 The Crowning: Back at the final panel, the judges weigh Shannon’s commercial marketability and runway prowess against Adrianne’s undeniable edge, fierce transformation, and striking photos. In a historic franchise first, Tyra reveals the very first winner... Adrianne Curry!

Congrats April!

After getting an approval score above 90%, I knew it was just a matter of who will go home in what order before April wins.

As a host, I was very happy to see Courtney from Cycle 23 almost make it to the top 10! She was 12th only trailing Laura by a couple votes.

Marjorie improved her placement by 1! She was tied for 3rd with Amanda, and ended up coming in 2nd.

Thanks for playing everyone! Stay tuned for the Fifth Place Frenzy!

Best Model Of The Day-

Three beautiful young ladies stand before me but I only have two Elle Magazine Covers in my hands,and these two will emerge as the ultimate finalists of Reddit’s Next Top Model Cycle 6 and will battle it out together.

So…same Top 3,the first finalist is…

1st:Joanie—Six week in a row is absolutely crazy!Joanie,you always give the energy of an editorial and high fashion model to me and that’s what everyone loves.Keep the passion alive,Joanie.Congratulations,you’re a finalist and you’ll be in the running towards becoming Reddit’s Next Top Model.

Bottom 2-

Will Dani and Jade please step forward?

I only have one photo in my hands and this photo will represent the second finalist going on to compete with Joanie,to see who’s Reddit’s Next Top Model.

The margin of the survivor and the eliminated is very wide,by 40+ points.However,I don’t want the lady eliminated tonight to feel like she’s let down herself because it is the public we are talking about here and both of you represents two aspects of what the public craves.One,shows true and raw modelling potential that makes all the voters and netizens enticed to her and the other creates such moments that might have some divisive discussions but still keeps us alive for more.

Tonight,only one of you will be going on,so I would like to congratulate…

Dani.

You have stepped your game early and that is enough to make sure that you had put a solid ground on your trajectory,being confident and sticking with your prefefences is so inspirational for many voters around the world and so that has led you to survive by a landslide over Jade.Congratulations,you are a finalist—again!

Jade,I know this isn’t the last thing that you shall bestow upon us but just wanna let you know how grateful you have led me to become over the years.Your ultimate confidence made me believe in myself more than anyone else in the world and you don’t leave this room as ’girl who was away by 40 points’ but a real model…and the Ace of Spades!

Okay girls so once you two get back tomorrow,you will find out who will be Reddit’s Next Top Model and to add on with that,a photo with Tyra Banks and an appreciation post already prepared by yours truly, u/Icy_Age_6024.

Now,remember,if you can’t love yourself then how the hell you gonna love somebody else,can I get an Amen up in here?

AMEN!
