America's Next Top Model ALL STARS on CW tonight at 9pm EST


Starting a few cycles ago, America's Next Top Model went from more of a general modeling competition featuring women 18-26 to having a specialized purpose for each season. There have been high fashion cycles and a petite cycle, with the all-star cycle set to premiere tonight at 9:00 on The CW. But could the all-star cycle have another theme to it?
It does, if you believe the recently released "gallery" videos featuring each contestant reminiscing on their time on the show and looking forward to cycle 17. The theme this cycle seems to be about branding oneself, which is certainly appropriate considering the experience level of the cast and the fact that some past winners have had trouble taking that next step to stardom after their cycle. There are no fresh-off-the-farm girls this go-around, as many of the cast members are still signed to agencies, doing commercials, and walking in shows, and I think the show will be better for it, in that everybody's already at a certain level of understanding and won't take 6 episodes to really "get it".
Although this is just some minor internet stuff, I'm surprised at how pleasant everybody was. I expected a stank face or two, but each cast member seemed pretty at peace with their time on the show and hopeful that All-Stars will be the thing that sends them from working model to superstar status in a matter of about a dozen episodes. If you missed a season, forgot who any of these people were, or simply want a refresher course before tonight's premiere, the videos are especially helpful to get your first glimpse at the 14 ladies trying to be on top one last time.
Whose post-Top Model journey has been the most surprising to you? Who do you think looks the best in their clip? Any predictions on who will surprise/disappoint with their performance this cycle?
