Out of nearly 3000 applicants it came down to only a handful. Tyra poured over the photos until her eyes were blurry. "All I can say is, I think these girls would make amazing models!" she said. So congratulations, ladies. You didn't quite make it to the Top Model Final auditions, but hey, it's not everyday that a former supermodel gives you her personal stamp of approval! Don't stop!

Rappers have the power to choose the girls;but refuse to let go of the SLAVERY MENTALITY. I am not against light skinned girls,my baby is light;but as a girl I hated my color.Everyone in a POWER POSITION,needs to stand up for DIVERSITY & stop being IGNORANT;they all holler BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL & they do not mean it;UNLEARN!!!

I would just really like 2c the REALLY SHORT PEOPLE get a chance. When I saw the petite cycle, I was a bit offended because those women are still considered tall 2me!! lol..seriously there are many beautiful 4'11" - 5'4" women out there that would like a chance! u've done plus size and u've completed average size, so what about the SHORT people who are not midgets but just very petite??...I'm 16, I have real potential but its not a real dream 4me because I don't have a real chance!

They both have an intensifying grow in their eyes! I wonder if they have the personalities to embrace a successful modeling career? If so I truly believe they will both generate very profitable careers.
