7:30pm - Friday, October 30 on TV 3

Join supermodels Tyra Banks and Paulina Porizkova with runway coach Miss Jay Alexander and model-turned-photographer Nigel Barker as they crown the next winner of America's Next Top Model on Friday, October 30th at 7:30pm on 3.

At the beginning of this season, ex-supermodel and newcomer to the series Porizkova made it very clear that she was not going to "censor herself" and always speak her mind and give the wannabe models "real criticism".

With this "real criticism" the last 13 weeks have seen Porizkova and her fellow judges whittle down the original group of 14 girls to just three. Now the time has come to choose the Cycle 11 winner!

But before the winner is announced, this final week will see the pressure being turned up as the three remaining ladies shoot a cosmetics commercial and walk a winding runway to determine the winner.

This may sound like a straightforward enough final challenge, however thus far it definitely hasn't been an easy ride for the wannabe models. Along the way there have been some harsh criticisms that have broken the hearts of many of their counterparts.

Tyra has said on more then one occasion in this competition, "The judges felt the need to save you from this crazy cutthroat world of modelling that would make a sad girl extremely depressed."

And she wasn't wrong. Some of the comments the girls have been faced with have often reduced them to tears.

There was the all too common "compliment" from Miss Jay saying, "She looks awful, but I love her." But perhaps the harshest criticism came from Tyra herself when she said "You're not here because you take bad pictures, but because of something we call lack of persona."

Now these harsh criticisms continue as we come into the all important season finale and find out the Cycle 11 America's Next Top Model winner on Friday, October 30th at 7:30pm on 3.
