America’s Next Top Model Final 4

By: Guadalupe Campos Soto

The final four were Rio, Shanice, Kyla, and Kristiana. But someone made a “Next Level Fierce” comeback. Who was replaced?

1. Rio Summers

Rio has a very interesting background. She came back from a life threatening brain surgery. With her “Battle Scar” she has escalated in the modeling world. In America’s Next Top Model, Rio has proven to be silly and smart, but once she steps on set, she introduces her “Next Level Fierce.”

2. Shanice Carroll

Shanice, like Rio, came from the the hood and is trying to prove to everyone that she can be Next Level Fierce. She is in the competition to win the $100,000 from pantene for her Mom that lives in Tennessee and for her deceased brother.

3. Kyla Coleman

After a life changing brain injury, Kyla had made her mark as both activist and model. Kyla has showed us her maturity despite her young age of 20.

4. Khrystyana Kazakova

This Siberian model’s prized possession is her curves. At the age of 32 she has proven that curvy models are just as good. Despite her traumatic past she has been the most impressive of all.

Update:

Now these models have proven that they deserve to be there throughout the competition. But one of them had to go. That model was unfortunately Rio Summers. She was replaced by Jeana Turner.

5. Jeana Turner

Jeana has hit a few bumps in the road. For starters her alopecia totalis has made her hair fall out but that small set back didn’t stop her at all. When she arrived to America's next top model she wore a wig but Tyra’s makeover for her was to express her unique bald beauty.

All these models have their own unique strengths but that’s not all it takes to win. You have to know how to wear your features which is the real challenge. Although these models have struggles of their own, they find ways of using that in their work to become ‘Next Level Fierce’.
