America's Next Top Model Winner: Teyona Anderson

by at .

Danny Gokey's American Idol dreams may have died last night, but the modeling career of Teyona Anderson was born.

The 20-year old New Jersey native - who had to be pushed to audition for the show by friends - was crowned the 12th cycle winner of America's Next Top Model.

After beating out Allison Harvard in the finals, an emotional Anderson said:

"I come from the little country streets of Woodstown, New Jersey, growing up in the cornfields, playing in the woods with boys, to being America's Next Top Model! I've wanted to do this so long, I just wanted to model…That's what I want to do, it's my passion…To win, and my hard work actually paid off…It's amazing...

"I'm so proud of myself, it's ridiculous…like, is this for real?!'"

It is, indeed. To prove it, Anderson will soon receive a six-page spread in Seventeen; a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics; and representation from Elite Model Management.

    i think it's a foregone conclusion. teyona's clearly tyra's favorite since the beginning. allison should have won. i don't like teyona. i don't think she's model beautiful. and when she smiles, ugggh! she's not gonna make it in the modeling industry.

    I think it is a little raciest sometimes cause all of the winners have been black.... i think allison was much much prettier... they said everything was great about her but people lie... so almost every year a black person wins... isn't that weird... yah a little no offince
