If every picture’s worth a thousand words, then many thoughts are conveyed by the Cycle 13 preview snaps just released for America’s Next Top Model. Prior to this round, contestants met a height requirement of at least 5’7”, but in a much publicized reversal, this fall’s competition will focus solely on girls 5’7” and under. So what do these photos tell us—can you spot a top fashion model among them? Early favorite Ashley is pretty stunning, while Bianca is bald, Lisa is channeling a diva, and Lulu could use the hair makeover episode. When Tyra and the Two Jays get done with these young ladies, their looks will be much different and, as we’ve seen in past cycles, unlikely front-runners can quickly emerge.

I had waited for this moment the time when petit models will come on ANTM. This show is an inspiration to me and i hope on being a future photographer and known in America’s Next Top Model. I have high hopes for America to have a 1st asian model to finally win and i think that person is Jennifer. There is a lot of competition in this cycle that i cannot choose a top three. I say may the Most Fiercest Petit Model win Cycle 13 and others to come. I love top model and have been watching it since cycle 1. Too bad i cant be a model myself but i can sure take the pictures of models. So, good luck jennifer and represent for Philly! (Your Hometown)
