In the 11th cycle of
America’s Next Top Model, only three girls remain:
Samantha,
Analeigh, and
McKey. The three girls could not be more different – McKey is the tough female boxer who is able to turn out amazing high fashion shots, Samantha is a goofy girl next door whose creativity has helped her barrel through the competition, and Analeigh is the fresh faced former ice skater who is most comfortable in commercial shoots. One lucky model will receive the grand prize: win management and representation by Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics, and the cover and six-page fashion spread in Seventeen. Each day leading up to the finale, we’ll make the case as to why each finalist should walk away the winner. Today, we take a closer look at Analeigh.

Analeigh was one of my favorites from the very beginning and someone that I rooted for all season. She started out this competition with a lot of pressure on her – since she is a former figure skater, Tyra was expecting Analeigh to be comfortable and graceful in front of the camera. However, she fell flat in front of the camera and was often criticized in panel, even landing in the bottom two during the swimsuit photo challenge. However, just a few shoots later, she started to come in to her own and began really impressing the panel.
Where Analeigh really shines is in commercials. She is absolutely believable in her Cover Girl shoots and seems like the perfect person (of the three remaining models) to represent the makeup company well. Analeigh is extremely personable and relatable. While that may not help her in high fashion shoots or runway shows, if Tyra is looking for someone who can represent the show and Cover Girl well, as well as book print ads long after her time on
ANTM is over, then Analeigh is her girl!
Did Analeigh's figure skating background help her on ANTM?
