List of episodes

The seventeenth cycle of America's Next Top Model (subtitled as America's Next Top Model: All Stars and stylized as America's Next Top Model ALL ★ STARS) premiered on September 14, 2011, on The CW.[1] It featured fourteen returning models from previous cycles.[2]

The judging panel, unchanged since Cycle 14, once again consisted of Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker and André Leon Talley.[3] The first judging was conducted in front of a live audience.[4] The international destination for this cycle was the Greek island of Crete,[5] the show's first visit to Southeast Europe.

The promotional song for this cycle was "You Make Me Feel..." by Cobra Starship featuring Sabi. This was the final cycle filmed and broadcast in standard definition and the final cycle for Andre Leon Talley as a judge.

The original winner[6] of the competition was Angelea Preston, who placed third on Cycle 14, but was later disqualified, stripped of her title after it was made known that that she had once worked as an escort.[7] A lawsuit was filed by Preston in 2014 for breach of contract and labor law violations but dropped in 2018.[8] The finale was re-filmed with the crowning of 30-year-old Lisa D'Amato from Los Angeles, California, who originally placed sixth on Cycle 5 making her the oldest winner at the age of 30. Allison Harvard, who originally placed second on cycle 12 losing to Teyona Anderson, placed as the runner-up for the second time.[9]
