Top 10: ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Cycle 20 contestants

Cycle 20 of America’s Next Top Model is in full swing, featuring, for the first time, female and male models. We’ve been watching every episode religiously, and there are just some contestants we like more than others. Here is our prediction of how Cycle 20 will turn out. From the model who came in tenth place to our hunch on the winner, these are our top ten models of Cycle 20. Make sure to watch the new episode tonight and every Friday at 9/8c on the CW.

10) Kanani
Kanani was eliminated on September 6’s episode. She was unable to concentrate during her photo shoot because some of the guys terrorized her, knowing she had a fear of clowns. If it weren’t for that incident, Kanani could have gone far in the competition. She definitely was one of the prettiest of the girls.

9) Jiana
Jiana was sent home last week. The judges always complimented her on her beautiful, symmetrical face, but it wasn’t enough for her to stay in the competition. Her photos just were not strong enough.

8) Phil
We predict that Phil is going to be eliminated tonight. He was in the bottom two with Jiana last week, and his erratic behavior (breaking a fence on set and cutting a designer shirt with a pair of scissors) are just not appropriate top model etiquette.

7) Chris
Chris has been doing pretty well in the competition; however, he just seems like an average-Joe to us. His overbearing personality irks the other models, as well as us as viewers. Plus, his appearance isn’t quite unique enough to stand out.

6) Marvin
Marvin is a huge sweetheart, but he has a lot of growing up to do. His photos have been hit or miss, but they need to be all hits in order to win in this competition. Besides, he just isn’t mature enough to make it in the modeling world. He was brought to tears at least two times in the last episode.

5) Nina
Nina is kooky in all the right ways. She’s one of the most level-headed ladies in the competition, and she has an uncommon, fairy-like look about her. We would love to see her make it all the way to the top, but we’re not sure if she has quite what it takes.

4) Don
Don didn’t do so hot in his last photo shoot, but otherwise he’s been one of the most successful guys in the competition. He even won the shopping challenge last week by wooing the Kardashians’ stylist, Monica Rose, with his manly charm.

3) Renee
Renee is one of the top ladies in the competition, with a positive attitude and beautiful photos. She was runner-up to Jourdan in the best photo for last week. She’s a beautiful girl, and we wish she would make it to the top, but…

2) Cory
We all know that the final two competitors are going to be a guy versus a girl, and we think Cory is going to be the right person to represent the boys. He has one of the best personalities of the men, always comforting and helping out the other models, plus his androgynous, fashion-forward look is very high fashion.

1) Jourdan
Jourdan has won best photo several weeks in a row, and even though a lot of the other competitors clash with her personality, she’s definitely the strongest model in running. We think she has what it takes to win this whole thing.
