America’s Next Top Model Contestants Who Should’ve Won But Tyra Gave Them The Boot
Who are the best America’s Next Top Model contestants who should have won but didn’t?
For 24 cycles, Tyra Banks has given hundreds of potential models the chance to become America’s Next Top Model. Of course, each season ends the same. The competition eventually narrows the contestants down to two or, on rare occasions, three finalists. But there’s usually only one winner. And fans often feel cheated because they believe the chosen winner is undeserving. But the truth is that the competition is super fierce and the slightest hiccup on the runway or on a photoshoot can shift the balance into another winner’s favor. So here are some of the best America’s Next Top Model contestants who should have won according to some fans.Allison Harvard, Cycle 12
Teyona Anderson became the winner of cycle 12, but Allison Harvard was a quirky ball of fun, and the internet continues to rave over how fond they are of this blonde with the doe-eyed looks.
Fans rave about how Allison’s unique poses should’ve taken her a lot further.
Natasha Galkina, Cycle 8

Who could forget the gorgeous Russian-born beauty who ended up being a total surprise? Some alleged she was a mail-order bride, which she adamantly denied. She ended up in second place but she was signed on by NEXT Model Management in Milan, and aside from appearing in Vanity Fair and Maxim, she’s also guest-starred on shows like “Elementary.”
Katarzyna Dolinska, Cycle 10
Whitney Thompson won cycle 10, and while Tyra cut Dolinska because she supposedly didn’t have enough personality, she still went on to be a successful model. Perhaps Dolinska was too passive.
“I guess that they wanted to see me crack, because I didn’t really show a lot of responsiveness,” Dolinska said. “I think that’s where the whole no-personality thing came in.”
Leila Goldkuhl, Cycle 19
Laura James may have won cycle 19, but Goldkuhl is one of the best haute couture models in ANTM history. She proved time and time again to be a fast learner and a total natural.
In her cycle, fans voted through social media to bring her back after being eliminated, but even though she didn’t win, fans agree that she’s one of many America’s Next Top Model contestants who should’ve won. Hands down!
