Cycle 1: Adrianne Curry

Then: Adrianne Curry was working as a waitress in her hometown, Joliet, Ill., when she saw a TV commercial for the “America’s Next Top Model” show. She won the first season, but who can forget the harsh words she had about the experience afterward? Burn.

Now: After “ANTM,” Ms. Curry made Maxim’s Hot 100 list in 2005 and Playboy’s Top 25 Sexiest Women in 2008, but she continued her career in reality television with “The Surreal Life,” where she met Christopher Knight, a.k.a. Peter Brady on “The Brady Bunch,” whom she was married to. The couple went on to have their own show, “My Fair Brady,” but ultimately announced their separation in 2011. More recently, she became active in the gaming world. She attends Comic-Con conventions and has a Twitch profile to see her play online. Might she be looking to get back into modeling, though? She recently posted to Twitter, “Today, I submitted myself to @LAModelsAgency and @FordModels for their old lady divisions…because, I miss modeling.”
