As the show has done since Top Model 4, Top Model 8's girls lived in a posh Los Angeles mansion during the already-filmed show's production. The eighth edition's winner will receive the same prize package that was introduced in this fall's Top Model 7 -- a management deal with Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with cosmetics company CoverGirl, and a cover story appearance in an issue of Seventeen magazine.
Top Model 8's cast ranges in age between 19 and 24 and includes five college students. However none of the finalists are from California -- a noteworthy fact given more than half of last season's Top Model cast had called The Golden State their home. Following its special two-hour premiere, Top Model 8 will air regularly in the show's normal Wednesdays at 8PM ET/PT time period.
The 13 women competing on the eighth season of America's Next Top Model are:
- Brittany Hatch, a 21-year-old bartender from Savannah, GA
- Cassandra Watson, a 24-year-old college student from Seattle, WA
- Diana Zalewski, a 21-year-old college student from Garfield, NJ
- Dionne Walters, a 20-year-old college student from Montgomery, AL
- Felicia, a 19-year-old sales associate from Houston, TX
- Jael Strauss, a 22-year-old band manager from Detroit, MI
- Jaslene Gonzalez, a 20-year-old online college admissions advisor from Chicago, IL
- Kathleen DuJour, a 20-year-old hairstylist from Brooklyn, NY
- Natasha Galkina, a 21-year-old college student from Dallas, TX
