America's Next Top Model Cycle 14 Winner

As America waits for its new American Idol, America’s Next Top Model revealed their new winner for their 14th cycle. The latest cycle’s winner is Krista White, a 25-year old contestant from Arkansas.


White has been a fan of the show and had tried out after the first cycle of America’s Next Top Model, which was launched in 2003 and finally landing a spot on the final 13 this cycle. After several weeks of runway training, photoshoots, and challenges, the show announced White and Raina Hein as this cycle’s final two. They did their final test on the runway as what they usually do in the show.


The final two walked for Anna Sui’s fashion show with an overall rock and roll circus theme. The show was opened by Nicole Fox who was the first petite top model winner of cycle 13, the cycle opened only for aspiring models who are 5’7 in height and under. Aside from the top two, four other eliminated top model contestants also joined the runway.


After deliberating about their walks, portfolio, and overall model potential, the judges finally named White as the top model because of her more edgy and sophisticated looks. She was the second top model winner from Arkansas after Dani Evans of cycle 6.


The prizes given to her as a top model winner are representation with Wilhelmina Models, Covergirl contract costing up to $100,000, and be on the Seventeen Magazine’s cover.

Joanie Dodds: From Runway to Run My Renovation

If you have been an avid fan of America’s Next Top Model, one of the things that you may ask is where are the contestants are right now? There are some that have pursued modeling while there are some that may be trying out television just like Joanie Dodds.


DIY Network will launch a new show entitled Run My Renovation in the middle part of the year. Run My Renovation is a television show that features several homes that they will renovate to redesign them. The only difference is that instead of the contractors or the hosts to decide on the renovation, they would ask audience to go online and vote for the designs that they want to have for the featured house or rooms like fixtures and others. This show will feature Joanie and John De Silvia, a licensed contractor, as the host and co-host respectively.


Joanie Dodds was a contestant in ANTM cycle 6 where she ended being a runner up even with consistently strong photographs and nailing her CoverGirl commercial. She went on a final runway test along side with Danielle Evans, who was hailed as the Top Model for that cycle.


Can’t remember Joanie? She is the preacher’s daughter who made Tyra Banks to drop her jaw in telling her story about rebelling against her father by doing some amateur nights at strip club and being a cage dancer for some time. But later on, she wowed Tyra after seeing her test prints by having a model presence in every shot. Another thing to remember about her is that she was the one who spent hours in the dentist’s office just to extract her snaggletooth and fix her teeth. During their Thailand challenge, she impressed professional classical Thai dancers as well as the prominent person in Elle Thailand with her version of their classical Thai dance and eventually winning the challenge. She also impressed Jay Manuel by producing good photos while balancing on the elephant’s foot and climbing the big creature on her own. She was also the first one to set a number of records in the ANTM history like being the first one not to be included in the bottom two until the final runway, greatest number of first call outs and three-consecutive first call outs.


Currently, she is still modeling and has been a guest judge in Vietnamese Modeling Project. This show does not have any announced date and time yet but it was estimated to air around August this year.

Top 23 Disliked Reality Stars

Reality shows are named as such because they are real challenges that will showcase real people. Because of this, it will be possible for people to show their real personalities. Most of the time, these reality shows would need strategies so they will win these games. Some use foul strategies that cause people, especially the viewers, hate them.


With all the reality shows found in the entertainment industry, Fox News listed 23 stars that are hated by not only by viewers but of course by their fellow reality contestants. The following are just the three out of the 23 stars that even you may not really like… at all.



Jonny Fairplay
His name may be Fairplay but if you watched Suvivor Pearl Islands, you can say that he did not play fair. In the reward challenge, he has lied that his grandmother died and he want to learn more about what happened to her. He won the reward challenge with the help of Burton, a fellow castaway who felt sorry for him. In the end, Fairplay stated that everything was a lie and his grandmother is still alive.

As for Jeff Probst, he stated that this is the “greatest lie” that has been said throughout the whole history of the Survivor.

Brad Womack
Handsome and hot. These are the characteristics that women love about every guy featured as “The Bachelor.” However, Brad Womack may have these characteristics but he is not that liked by many viewers.

Why? This is because he did not give the final rose to any of the last two candidates. Although it’s his choice, viewers as well as Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas (the contestants), were left with their jaw dropped.

Simon Cowell
Yes, he is not a reality show contestant but he is perhaps the hated American idol judge by many viewers. He gives the real meaning to the term “brutally frank” because of his comments that can make an Idol contestant feel humiliated. But face reality, he has a point on judging the contestants.
