Cycle 10 of AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL offers 14 girls the chance to prove they have what it takes to make it in the high-stress world of modeling as they compete for a contract with Elite Model Management, a Seventeen Magazine cover and six-page fashion spread, and a $100,000 deal with CoverGirl cosmetics. Centered in New York for the first time since Cycle 4, the aspiring models found an array of assignments over the course of the 13-week contest. The young women showed off their catalog, commercial, and couture stances, posed with - and wore - meat, in NYCs meatpacking district, and donned designer wardrobes while mingling with industry elites. While in Rome, the ladies were tasked with filming a CoverGirl commercial in Italian and learning how to fight gladiator style, complete with swords.
