The ninth cycle of the – Page 8 popular show America’s Next Top Model premiered on the CW last Wednesday.

finalists in style. Thirteen girls were chosen after a beach photo shoot. The final models this cycle certainly do not follow the pattern of those in the past. This cycle, quirky, odd-looking girls just may reach the top. Victoria, a Yale University student, Heather, a socially inept Indiana native, and Jenah, from Farmington, CT, all have unusual looks that just could impress Tyra Banks throughout the competition. This cycle also features the first “real-size” model, Sarah from Western Massachusetts. She is too big to be a standard-sized model, but the judges agree that she is not big enough to be considered plus size.
Conflict is already in motion among the cast, most of which is caused by Ebony, who already feels comfortable criticizing every other girl. Personalities are sure to clash between the overconfident, diva AN AP/ JENNIFER GRAYLOCK PHOTO women includ- Tyra Banks, host of America’s Next Top Model.. ing Bianca, from Queens, N.Y., and Lisa, the tended the camp, she will exotic dancer from New be judged more critically Jersey. than the other girls.

But not only be the person that people come to with their problems, but also the person that works to solve those problems. “I don’t want to be that college student who just spends all their time in their dorm room; I want to be engaged in what goes in my school/home. I can’t think of any better way to do this than to become a representative for my class.” Saahil Bangera- Class of 2011 “My name is Saahil Bangera and I am an undergraduate student at the University of New Haven. I was born in Mumbai, India, but I have been living in Dubai for the last ten years where I completed my high school education. I was the Vice Captain of my house in grade 11 and then
I got elected as the Captain in grade 12. Also, I just got elected as the treasurer for Botwinik Hall. My goal in life is to do my masters in aeronautical engineering and get into the field of aeronautics. My goals for this year are to get good grades and get myself involved in different activities.” Ankit Sharma- Class of 2011 “My name is Ankit Sharma and I’m currently a freshman at the University of New Haven. I’m from India, where my father is a serving Army officer and my mother is a teacher. Throughout my childhood, I have seen my father serving other people.
