What a failure. The so-called "College Edition" was a non-starter, and all the best remaining members of the show's cast were summarily dismissed. The social media component was also weak and served little purpose. In this way, the cycle's worst villain was Tyra herself: a producer who lost vision of what her own show should be, taking out friends and angering fans in the process. — KO

19. Cycle 13 (2009)

Winner: Nicole Fox

Favorite Model: Erin Wagner

Cycle Villain: Erin Wagner

Judging panel changes: Tyra, J. Alexander (Miss J) and Nigel, the holy trinity of judges

Destination: Hawaii

This was the "under 5'7" cycle, and everything about it came up a little short. Erin was the "villain" but only in the sense that she complained the most and played a little dirty during one of the challenges. But as far as drama went, this season left a lot to be desired. — AJ

18. Cycle 17 (2011)

Winner: Lisa D'Amato

Favorite Model: Allison Harvard

Cycle Villain: Alexandria Everett

Judging panel changes: This was the last year for ANTM's greatest power trio: Tyra herself, photographer Nigel Barker, and the divine Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley. The panel stayed the same from Cycle 14 through this one, and there were times throughout their history that they were the only great part of the show.

Destination: Crete, Greece

This all-stars edition was something of a mess. Some standout alumni didn't return (Tocarra Jones, we missed you), and others who did return maybe should have stayed home (hello, Alexandria). The competition itself was a snooze – several of the girls just weren't as sharp as in their original cycles – and the ending turned into a train wreck when original winner Angelea Preston from Cycle 14 was disqualified under mysterious circumstances. The final decision had to be hastily reshot with the final two: Cycle 12 favorite Allison, and Cycle 5's Lisa. – KO

Fun extra bit: The Wikipedia page for this cycle was clearly edited by a very annoyed Angelea stan. Enjoy your default win, Lisa. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Represent that 716, Angelea. — JR]

17. Cycle 12

Winner: Teyona Anderson

Favorite Model: Allison Harvard

Cycle Villain: Natalie Pack

Judging panel changes: Still Tyra, Miss J, Nigel and Paulina.

Destination: Sao Paulo, Brazil

Allison was the sole standout from the season. She was probably the creepiest person to ever crawl onto Top Model like a woodland nymph set free from the woods, but she was also the rare awkward and sweet character. Still, maybe don't tell Tyra that you think nose bleeds are great because blood is beautiful. Just a thought. – AJ

16. Cycle 16

Winner: Brittani Kline

Favorite Model: Molly O'Connell

Cycle Villain: Alexandria Everett, welcome back to the villain's circle!

Judging panel changes: Same power trio from throughout the Cycle 14-17 stretch: Tyra, Barker, Talley.

Destination: Marrakech, Morocco

Alexandria has the dubious honor of being the only two-cycle villain on this list, but she definitely deserves it. In the third episode, Tyra said her bad attitude wouldn't get her far in the competition. What happened, then? She got fourth, and was invited back for Cycle 17. All for being arrogant and whiny. Bah. The rest of the cycle couldn't recover from her nonsense. (Still loved André Leon Talley.) — KO
