From 13 contestants Tyra Banks and co. have wilted it down to three and finally one. Teyona Anderson, a 20-year-old loss prevention rep from Woodstown, NJ. is the crowned "America's Next Top Model" cycle 12.
Teyona had to battle it out with Allison and Aminat in the semi final, doing a commercial ad for CoverGirl lipstick. Teyona in particular was not smooth in delivering her lines and she tend to forget them. But the judges thought that Teyona has more fabulous photos compared to Aminat, and admitted her to the final two along with Allison.
Then Teyona and Allison shot the cover for Seventeen magazine before then walking on the Rosa Cha fashion show bizarre runway. Jay Manuel told them to use the Samba movement, fierce walk and crawling during the show. In the final outing, the girls were covered in black oil and they had to go down on hands and knees to show off the bikinis.
At the panel, judges thought that Allison was better on the walk because Teyona was robotic. Then the judges went through the entire portfolio of the two before finally deciding that Teyona has more approachable personality and has better photo shoots.

there is a stupid patter and i think teyona is utter shit! allison should of won. end of conversation (:
are you lot crazy the right person won... allison is unique and beautiful however she was not ready for the modeling industry. just because black people are winning doesnt mean the shows racist look at you so called pattern and then look at the race of the over cyle winners you lot are stupis as hell and are racists your self the only reason you lot are angry is because a black person won you dont care about aliison shes just a scape goat for you racism.
teyona is the best an i give a dam bot what the fock all of you what to sae tayona yo are the best girl so work it
Allison looked like a professional compared to the others. A pity that Tyra couldn't see it. She asked at the end "its so close, can't you see it?" and really it wasn't. Allison won hands down.
I think people should stop looking at how many times a beautiful young black women has won. If you look at the whole picture that entire industry is not fair to people of color. You ask me it still not a lot of us on the cover of magazines and the run way. So you tell me whats wrong with that picture. And people stop using Obama for every little thing a black person deserves. I mean really.
cycle3 = eva (black) cycle6 = danielle (black) cycle9 = seleisha (black) cycle12 = teyona (black) im black myself
So, Naima isn't black? Where does she fit, in this pattern?
I think teyona won cuz she waz tha m0st maodelish an had more talent than allison! Allison did not hav wat it takez!
um hello...fo is half black...does that count as black girl? If she had won, that is
i watch every ......single episode just for you to pick somone who is not pretty,sexy,cool,looks likee a modle..u lost u'r mind.you should of pick the real model ALLISON.
jessica is the best !!! pretty and well again pretty it all right we loose and win!!!!
omg none of all the one i like was Tahilia was the best she tide the best she does not have good skin but who care you see the diffens even allison she is really pretty!!! im lost now im so mad teyona won im so mad AH!!!!!!!!
hi,im sofia im 9 year old i want to be model but no you pick teyona are you lost your brain ah!!!! allison should win please change your mine people this days!!
all of my cousin like better allison then teyona think first allison is better than all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so angry allison should win are you crazy!i whatch all the shows you guy pick teyona AH AH AH !!!!!!!!!!!
I think allisons was the best but she did not win i'm so more than angry %
yes, i was a teyona fan from the begining, she has a natural model appeal to her she is great.
It should have been Allison, its just because Teyona was black that she won, becuase a black girl hasn't won ANTM for a While, and with Obama.
wow...its 2009..and people stil attribute a person's success to their race..its pathetic...
The right girl won. PERIOD!
The right girl won. PERIOD!
The right girl won. PERIOD!
Look at this way, Teyona won by default because of the color of her skin due to the pattern here. But Allison will get the better jobs because she is sooo much better. The judges had to go along with Ms. Diva so it is all so predictable. Lets be honest here, Ms. Diva would not grace anyone with an opinion that is not her's even though she is trying to do good, it has gotten out of hand with attitude and humble beginnings.
Are you kidding me! ofcourse theres a pattern. Every 3rd season a black girl has to win. jenah was way better than saleisha. And allison was miles better. You can even see how tyra looks a bit uncomfortable through the show. And aminat was just carried through to the top 3, horrible pics the whole time. So tyra could cut her off and set it up for teyona. Celia was miles ahead than aminat as a model
You want to call Tyra a racist? Allison kept being saved and I couldn't figure out why, she has no personality she barely exists. Those big eyes are the reason Nigel and Paulina would save her. Get Real beauty comes in all types not just blonde and blue eyed.
I thought Teyona was sorta boring compared to Alison, and obviously couldn't handle the pressure from the way she cried at the Covergirl commercial. Her pictures towards the end were sub-par too and Alison's were getting even better. They made the wrong choice this time in my opinion, Alison should have won. I think they gave it to Teyona because she was ethnic and she wanted to win more openly than Alison. Also she was the safer choice, Alison had a truly unique face in the fashion world.
* meant 0 out of 4
teyona was the best and she deserved her win. allison fans should just face reality,teyona is better.when they went to brazil 3 of 3 designers loved teeyona and 0out of 4 loved allison so you guys are just chatting shit...so shut the f**k up
i know huh! allison should of won w/ those cute little innocent eyes b cuz she really evolved in the show.
i don't think neither of the top 3 girls deserved it! my favorite was "Fo". And i agree with WTF Tyra, there's always a pattern in this show.
Omg!!! cum on yall...Allison is very beautiful n matured during the show alot...but she could not have handled the fashion pressures of being ANTM!!!! Teyona kicked ass!(up until the end) the right gyrl won...
i think aminat should have won
WTFTYRA, r u insane, cycle 1 winner, adrianne curry; cycle 2 winner, yoanna house; cycle 5 winner, nicole linkletter; cycle 7 winner, caridee english; cycle 10 winner, whitney; and cycle 11 winner mckey...
i am so happy the right girl one, if allison had won i wuld hve been angry
The best one out of all the models is Aminat. I believe she is going to make it bigger than Teyona or Allison or any of the others.
So Happy Teyona won, definetly got it right
WTF Tyra, you r frigging racist,didnt any other colour girl win. Black, white, yellow they are all beautiful. So just shut up if you dont have anything good to say.
Allison scared the heck out of me with those eyes. The right one won! Teyone has the baddest walk I have seen. The girl is bad!! Congrat Teyona
All three girls were beautiful. I thought Aminat had the best body. The best girl won in the end.
You gotta be kidding me. I knew halfway through the show that Aminat and Teyona would magically survive each episode even with huge flubs. The fun part will be getting Teyona to speak something other than "urban english" in her commercials, and I don't know how you can hide that space alien forehead of hers with just makeup. Allison was the winner here, and I'm sure the choice of Teyona was why Paulina got fired...she disagreed with the witch queen Tyra.
NOOOOO..Allison should have won!!!
Not meant to be racist AT ALL but I knew a black girl would win, I'll elaborate... ANTM Cycle 3 winner: Eva Pigford ANTM Cycle 6 winner: Danielle Evans ANTM Cycle 9 winner: Saleisha Cooper ANTM Cycle 12 winner: Teyona Anderson See a pattern? I noticed this pattern evolving after Saleisha won, and shouldn't have.
I agree allisons pics were 1 million times better, this show always makes me angry >:[
The right person won. Teyona was truely the best overall canidate. Congrats.
ewww.. allison should have won
