Get the Insider App. But allow me to present one of the only bright spots of those years: Cory, a man whose makeover left him entirely bald, like a gorgeous, chisel-jawed alien, and who still made it work.

Even though he was constantly told he wasn't masculine enough during judging God, those were dark days for Top Model , Cory stayed true to his edgy, androgynous style, and remains the only reason those seasons were worth airing. Sometimes, at night, I can still hear the wailing of Shandi from Cycle 2 during that sincerely horrible moment when she tells her boyfriend she cheated.

That's what she's most known for, but it's not why she's on this list.

Now a successful TV personality yes, that was her on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and The Young and the Restless , the self-described "little tomboy" and winner of the third cycle was even name-dropped in a Missy Elliot song, which is how you know you've made it. You have to give Adrianne props for being the only person in Top Model history to frustrate Tyra so much that the show literally scrubbed all references to her in following seasons.

The model went on record about what she says were promises broken by the ANTM producers , and, well, that was it—they never spoke her name again. Not once. In 23 cycles. It's pretty impressive, if you think about it.
