#23: Teyona Anderson, 2009
Teyona Anderson won Cycle 12 in 2009 after building momentum quietly but steadily. Her look translated beautifully in photos — wide-set eyes, strong walk, and a natural editorial presence. She wasn’t the loudest personality in the house, but week after week, her portfolio stacked up.

By the time the competition reached Brazil for the finale, she felt composed and prepared. The judges praised her consistency and runway strength, and the win positioned her as one of the cycle’s most professionally ready contestants.
