Okay, so instead of that obnoxious elimination game

What I did was (I had a lot of spare time today, 6 hours on a train) I took all my personal call-out averages for the photoshoots of ANTM, and then awarded the girls more points based on how low their call-out was. IE, if a model had the best picture, in my view, in the original 14-girl week, they would get 14 points; conversely, the model I believe to have the worst picture that week would only get 1 point. Yeah, it skews badly toward girls who do well at the beginning of the competition, but... I wanted to rank these all based on total scores, but it's unfair to compare girls in C3, C10, or C11, with 14, to C1 with only 10 girls, or C2 with 12. For a tie-breaker, I first compared the number of #1 callouts I would give a girl. If it was equal, then I compared the weeks they spent in the competition. In this case, having less weeks helps, since it meant the girl was a stronger competitor in the weeks she was there. If a model did not participate in a photoshoot, they recieved 0 points for it, as opposed to the 1 they would get for being the worst of the week.

CYCLE 1
1. Adrianne 34
2. Elyse 34
3. Kesse 29
4. Shannon 27
5. Giselle 27
6. Robin 26
7. Katie 17
8. Nicole 13
9. Ebony 13
10. Tessa 1
Adrianne has 3 #1s by my count, Elyse has 1; Shannon has 2 #1 call-outs, Giselle has 0; and though neither Nicole or Ebony had a first call-out, Nicole spent fewer weeks in the competition. Shocked by how well Kesse did (though I do give her a first call-out for Week 1 and a third call-out for Week 2, giving her 10 + 7 right off the bat), as well as Robin. Oh, and Katie shouldn't have been eliminated so early.

CYCLE 2
1. Shandi 55
2. April 53
3. Mercedes 44
4. Yoanna 40
5. Camille 33
6. Catie 31
7. Sara 31
8. Jenascia 28
9. Heather 10
10. Xiomara 9
11. Bethany 5
12. Anna 0
Anna is the only contestant in ANTM history to have a score of 0. Booo Anna! As you can see, Xiomara sucked and Jenascia should have stuck around longer. Catie had one first-call out to Sara's none.

CYCLE 3
1. Yaya 70
2. Nicole 59
3. Norelle 56
4. Eva 50
5. Cassie 44
6. Ann 40
7. Amanda 38
8. Toccara 38
9. Kristi 22
10. Julie 15
11. Jennipher 15
12. Leah 9
13. Kelle 9
14. Magdalena 3
Shocked at how badly Amanda did (I think she has a strong portfolio overall, but many people were usually better than her in any given week) and how well Toccara did (she got a very high call-out from me on the first photoshoot, which helped). Amanda had one #1 to Toccara's none. Julie and Leah (why did she get booted?) spent fewer weeks in the competition than Jennipher and Kelle, respectively. Cassie had some problems but holy shit was she a good model. Same with Kristi.

CYCLE 4
1. Kahlen 79
2. Christina 66
3. Naima 63
4. Brittany 48
5. Michelle 47
6. Rebecca 44
7. Keenyah 38
8. Tiffany 31
9. Noelle 26
10. Lluvy 24
11. Tatiana 24
12. Brandy 14
13. Sarah 11
14. Brita 5
Kahlen is flawless, and Christina is the only other girl this cycle with any sort of consistency. Naima did really strong toward the beginning, while Brittany sucked there; Naima only got uneven when the numbers were lower, and thus getting 1s mattered less. Lluvy's relatively high score surprises me, but she actually got good call-outs the first two weeks of the competition with 14 and 13 girls, then crashed hard. Anyway, she spent fewer weeks on the show than Tatiana. Also, please notice how much Rebecca rocks, thank you.

CYCLE 5
1. Nicole 70
2. Jayla 68
3. Nik 64
4. Bre 55
5. Lisa 48
6. Kyle 46
7. Kim 32
8. Diane 30
9. Coryn 24
10. Cassandra 20
11. Sarah 6
12. Ashley 4
13. Ebony 3
These girls were kind of meh. I'm surprised Bre did so well, but the sheer number of photoshoots she did probably kept her above more worthy models. Kim sucks. Ebony really sucks. Diane didn't get a chance.

CYCLE 6
1. Joanie 81
2. Sara 63
3. Danielle 62
4. Furonda 46
5. Jade 44
6. Leslie 40
7. Nnenna 40
8. Mollie Sue 33
9. Gina 23
10. Brooke 12
11. Wendy 10
12. Kari 9
13. Kathy 6
Joanie has the record for highest number of points, so far, and she's in a cycle with 13 girls as opposed to 14. Hot. No clue why Sara is above Danielle, I think I'm on crack. Leslie had three #1 call-outs and Nnenna had 0. Brooke SUUUUUCKS.

CYCLE 7
1. CariDee 77
2. Michelle 71
3. Melrose 61
4. Amanda 57
5. AJ 42
6. Brooke 40
7. Eugena 39
8. Anchal 32
9. Jaeda 24
10. Megg 22
11. Megan 10
12. Christian 4
13. Monique 4
With the exception of a few, these girls mostly sucked. LOL @ AJ being #5 with five photoshoots! I don't know how Brooke got so many points; I didn't think she was a great model.

CYCLE 8
1. Jaslene 72
2. Brittany 68
3. Renee 62
4. Natasha 43
5. Dionne 41
6. Jael 35
7. Felicia 34
8. Sarah 29
9. Diana 28
10. Whitney 22
11. Samantha 14
12. Cassandra 14
13. Kathleen 4
I was thinking Brittany would be #1, but then again I really didn't like her High School Stereotype photo very much. Natasha was badly hurt by the fact that I would have eliminated her during the first two weeks, and put her in the bottom two the third. Dionne and Jael did much better than I was expecting. Whitney shouldn't have stuck around so long; Felicia should have stuck around much longer. Samantha spent fewer weeks on the show than Cassandra.

CYCLE 9
1. Jenah 70
2. Chantal 59
3. Lisa 47
4. Heather 46
5. Ebony 35
6. Saleisha 35
7. Victoria 34
8. Sarah 29
9. Janet 23
10. Bianca 17
11. Ambreal 16
12. Kimberly 14
13. Mila 2
This cycle is just so fucked up. I am actually surprised Saleisha had a higher score than Victoria, but Saleisha got saved by the fact that another, even worse model, Bianca, was in it until almost the very end. I eliminated Bianca literally every single week except for the plant shoot (where Saleisha's photo was even worse, but Bianca was still bottom 2) and the gargoyle shoot (she actually had a good photo there), giving her a lot of 1s and giving Saleisha at least 2s. Blah. LOL @ Ebony, who left before they all went overseas, having less weeks in the competition and thus giving her the edge over Saleisha in the rankings. Victoria owns your soul, by the way. I feel like Chantal's score was too high, but what can you do? In the weeks where her pictures were atrocious (plant shoot, Cover Girl original shoot) someone else was always doing way way worse.

CYCLE 10
1. Anya 74
2. Whitney 62
3. Lauren 49
4. Fatima 46
5. Aimee 41
6. Dominique 41
7. Katarzyna 33
8. Claire 33
9. Stacy Ann 29
10. Marvita 21
11. Amis 15
12. Allison 11
13. Kimberly 9
14. Atalya 2
LOL @ Aimee and Katarzyna's placings... Aimee and Dominique both had a #1 call-out from me each, but Aimee spent (far!) fewer weeks in the competition. Katarzyna had a #1 call-out from me and Claire had none. Kat had a really weak beginning of the competition, and Aimee was incredibly strong there (Kat was bottom three week 1 and eliminated week 2; Aimee was second call-out week 1 and first week 2). Didn't expect Lauren to do so well, either.

CYCLE 11 (so far)
1. Analeigh 60
2. Marjorie 52
3. Sheena 46
4. Lauren Brie 40
4. McKey 40
5. Joslyn 33
6. Elina 33
7. Isis 27
8. Clark 23
9. Samantha 22
10. Brittany 16
11. Hannah 7
12. ShaRaun 6
13. Nikeysha 5
I can't think of a way to break the tie between LB and McKey, since they both have the same score, number of #1 call-outs (none), and, at this point, weeks in the competition, but seeing as McKey's moving on and LB's not, it's gonna be a moot point. Joslyn has 1 #1 call-out to Elina's 0. Sheena's call-out average is that high? GO ANALEIGH!
