 Nicole, Winner of America's Next Top Model, Cycle 13

5'7 Nicole is the winner of Cycle 13 of America's Next Top Model.  She will be signed with Wilhelmina Modeling Agency, have a $100,000 contract with Covergirl cosmetics, and will be featured in a fashion spread in Seventeen magazine.

This week, Nicole and Laura were the two finalists. Nicole, a self-proclaimed dork, had always struggled with being awkward and making friends because of her eccentric personality.

Laura, who is from Kentucky, grew up castrating bulls and was also struggled with dyslexia; she wanted to show the people in her hometown that women from small areas can still make it big, and she strived to be a role model to others with dyslexia by not letting her disability get in the way of her dreams.

Overall, Nicole had better pictures and seemed to be a natural in front of the camera, but Laura had a very sweet personality and seemed to have more of an edge.

This season was specifically for petite models. The girls could not be taller than 5'7. For Cycle 14, the models will have to go back to their regular height requirement.
