Cycle 17 of America's Next Top Model is scheduled to be an All-Star edition

The CW has announced that America's Next Top Model has been renewed for two more seasons. While that is great to hear, even more exciting is the news that Cycle 17 is set to be an All-Star edition, with models that became fan favorites. Expect more information about who exactly they have in mind to cast for the All-Star Cycle in the future.

Who would you choose for your Top 14 contestants? Not taking into consideration someone's availability, current modeling success, etc., who would you choose? I'm going with the number 14, but it's possible Tyra will only include 13. If you'd like to speak up about who you would like to see come back and compete from the current 16 Cycles, use the comments section below to post your choices.

My choices, in no specific order, follow:

  1. Shandi Sullivan - Who can forget her breakdown when she called up her boyfriend and admitted that she cheated on him? She had some spectacular photo shoots, and I think she'd rock this Cycle.
  2. Toccara Jones - Toccara is my favorite plus-sized (or "fiercely real," as Tyra says) contestant. She's definitely a fan favorite, and I'd love to see her included.
  3. Brittany Brower - Brittany was over-the-top in Cycle 4, with her outgoing personality and sexy good looks.
  4. Bre Scullark - It's hard to forget the whole granola bar issue, but equally hard to forget what a fierce walker Bre was. I hope they bring her back.
  5. Jade Cole - You can't have an All-Star edition without Jade. Her total confidence, and way with a phrase would really make for some interesting episodes.
  6. Melrose Bickerstaff - Melrose was always one of my favorites, even if she did rub all the other girls wrong.
  7. Heather Kuzmich - With her Asperger's syndrome causing her problems with her communication skills, Heather faced many challenges during her Cycle, but her effortless modeling really kept her in the competition, and she'd be a great edition to the All-Star edition.
  8. Samantha Potter - Sam was always my favorite to win Cycle 11, however the judges disagreed. She had great style, and she sure could pose.
  9. Aminat Ayinde - I just loved Aminat. She had a killer body, but sometimes had to fight against her dead eyes. I'd love to see this tall beauty included in the All-Star edition.
  10. Laura Kirkpatrick - Laura was always the country girl, but the girl could really take some great photos. Laura would balance out the drama in the house with her sweet nature.
  11. Raina Hein - Like Laura of Cycle 13, Raina was upbeat, and well-liked by many of the girls, who didn't hate her for her awesome photos. I thought she should have won Cycle 14. Perhaps she could win Cycle 17?
  12. Jaclyn Poole - Jaclyn rounds out the trio of sweet girls for this Cycle. Who didn't love her sweet personality? I hated seeing her go home.
  13. Kasia Pilewicz - I hated seeing Kasia go home last week. She definitely knows her stuff, and I loved her confidence through most of the episodes. It's sad that the lack of that confidence in the end proved to be her undoing.
